"What... what the fuck are those things?!"
The Immortal Realm Cultivators who had just been preparing to provide support hurriedly huddled together in twos and threes.
They couldn't help it. Those things were far too terrifying.
They crawled out of Song Chi's shadow, each wreathed in demonic energy, like a hundred ghosts parading through the night! They looked even more like villains than the roaring giant across from them!
