Chapter 60 "Why?"_2

Cen Dongsheng sighed.

She had only managed to utter a single word before feeling nothing beneath her feet; at the same time, a bloody wind brewed behind her, as if some massive creature were closing in.

Cen Dongsheng raised his head, gazing at the gigantic visage crawling out from the darkness as he fell uncontrollably.
