However.
That feeling did not last long before Qin Shujian had to pull back.
There was no other reason—the pressure Du Chengwu exerted on him was growing greater and greater.
At that moment.
He brought out his final trump card.
Twenty-seven Array Disks appeared in the air, like stars falling into the mortal world. In an instant, a grand formation took shape.
