"Are you in really bad shape right now?"
Jiang Qiao turned to look at Yang Ling, not quite sure whether he was telling the truth. It was impossible to tell from Yang Ling's appearance. Perhaps he really was in poor condition, but perhaps this was some kind of probing.
"Yes."
"Taboo Weapons aren't that easy to use."
"Mountain Ghosts were right."
"I'm not strong enough."

The great battle had ended, but the entire area
