The barrier began to shrink wildly, and an immensely powerful pressure kept bearing down on us.
Under such intense pressure, Uncle Yu was starting to struggle. He frantically drank Qi-replenishing soup to strengthen his vitality and blood energy.
At that moment, everyone's expressions turned rather grim.
This was only the sixth level. Under Xiao Yu's lead, Mingming had killed anyone they encountered, and no one had been able to stop them.
