"The corrosive power is so terrifying—I can't hold on anymore."
"Hold on! He's only one person. I refuse to believe sixteen of us together can't withstand him."
The sixteen gritted their teeth and held on, struggling with all their might against the corrosion of Gu Qi's Inner World.
No matter how strong Gu Qi was, he was still only at the same realm as them—the peak of the World Master realm.
Of those who could come here, which one was not outstanding among those of the same realm?
In a one-on-one fight, they admitted they were inferior to Gu Qi.
But against him together, sixteen people truly refused to believe it. If nothing else, they could wear him down to death.
However, imagination was forever beautiful, while reality was often cruel.
Gu Qi's peculiar Inner World made them utterly unable to contend against him.
As time passed, not only were they unable to drain Gu Qi's strength—
They instead felt him growing stronger and stronger, while the corrosive power of his Inner World kept increasing.
"How is that possible?"
As one side waned and the other waxed, the sixteen were caught completely off guard.
"His corrosive power can transform and absorb energy. He's using our strength against us."
By this point, they had naturally seen through it.
"Retreat!"
Seeing no hope of victory, everyone began to think of fleeing.
If they could not win, they would run. They could preserve their strength for later.
Even if they had to muddle through, they needed to muddle through until the end.
If they were eliminated now, they would have no chance at the top ten.
"Do you think you can leave?"
Gu Qi sneered and finally moved.
Swift as a meteor, the blades in his hands crossed, instantly taking one person away.
