The cyan giant hand continued hammering down. The dozen or so junior elders could hardly withstand it, and one after another, they turned and fled in disarray.
Only Jiang Xinyuan and Di Liuxin remained, their faces twisted.
They were furious at those good-for-nothing fools, but even more enraged by Hanyu's shameless behavior.
"Trying to run? No way!"
Hanyu bypassed the two of them and darted downward. Countless bolts of lightning chased him, while he chased the dozen-odd junior elders.
The scene was murderous, yet somehow carried a touch of the absurd.
