The sound drew closer and closer, the word "Kill" echoing across the Cosmic Sea.
Lu Yin saw those soldiers again, along with their eyes—unyielding, resolute, and bloodthirsty. Every soldier had been tempered through countless trials. Among them, he spotted Hua Wu. Compared to the time Lu Yin had seen him while fused with Hen Ye, Hua Wu now seemed much closer in bearing to the soldiers.
