This move covered an enormous area, making it nearly impossible to evade.
Most terrifyingly, these tiny needles did not attack in straight lines. They continuously refracted and shifted in flight, their trajectories unpredictable as they sealed off every avenue of Jiang Fan's escape.
Jiang Fan stomped his foot.
Boom!
