The disparity in numbers between the two sides was enormous, and they had formed an encirclement that sealed off every possible escape route. Faced with such a situation, even Hua Zhen's well-trained Guard Team members could not help but feel fear.
Fear was an instinctive response in living creatures. No matter how powerful one was, it lurked within the body, waiting to erupt once the mind reached its limit.
