"Oh no, these ghost creatures have cut us off from Eldest Brother and the others."
After his combat strength had risen greatly out of nowhere, Ping'an had thrown himself into the killing. He glanced back, then shouted in terror.
Xu Taiping and Jade Mother had already been blocked off by the Blood-Garment Great Ghosts gathering from below like a surging tide.
Zhao Qian noticed this as well, and his expression immediately grew tense.
