"Hmph—"
Faced with the black skeleton's frenzied onslaught, Chen Nianzhi revealed an unprecedentedly grave expression for the first time.
He had no choice but to command his five divine forms, raising his combat strength to its utmost limit as he unleashed an ultimate battle against the black skeleton.
