"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng watched the ripples gradually fade from the Blood River, his expression shifting uncertainly.
He had never expected Ji Zhixing to have grown this much, to the point where he could withstand a sword strike like that.

Boom!
Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the distance.
Everyone looked up.
Three streaks of light shot toward them from afar at astonishing speed, carrying searing heat as they hurtled straight toward the student with the Blackwater Sea King Snake
