The Xuanjia Army soldier was not just experiencing heavy breathing.
In that brief moment.
What he saw was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but a ferocious wild beast larger than the Imperial City itself! That beast, which seemed capable of leveling the Imperial City with a single breath, was staring at him with its eyes wide open.
In the blink of an eye, cold sweat had drenched the back of the armored soldier, and sweat droplets as large as soybeans covered his forehead.
He found it extremely difficult to take even one more step forward.
This terribly uncomfortable feeling lasted for the duration of two breaths.
Until, Fan Wu suddenly spoke, "In a sense, this counts as a breakthrough, doesn't it?"
His words were not addressed to the Xuanjia Army soldier.
They were directed at Hu Banban.
