The smoke and dust cleared.
Ru Xinian looked at the few people before him and could not help complaining, "Arogen, what kind of fight is this? Why are there more enemies the longer we fight?"
"Shut up."
Arogen clenched his fists. Despite having infinite stamina, cold sweat was pouring down his body. He looked up at Li Aoz and the others standing on the earth before him and could not help saying, "...If I knew the reason, I would have dealt with this guy already.

Xu Kefu looked at the headless Li Aoz and casually said,
"The main reason you can't beat him is that you're all useless."
"Huh? What the hell do you mean by that?"
"That's not
