"Ah—!"
"My eyes!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Within Great Desolation City, some martial artists with lower cultivation or weak wills merely raised their heads instinctively, their gazes touching the gradually emerging illusory demonic shadow.
In an instant, their eyes went vacant. Every trace of reason and clarity within them was completely replaced by dense blood-red light. They let out unconscious roars, radiated frenzied, bloodthirsty auras, and began attacking everyone around them without discrimination!
Gu Sheng endured the agonizing pain of his body splitting apart and took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging blood and qi.
