Chapter 402 - 170: The Gallant Youth Befriends the Five Metropolitan Heroes (Part 2)
Xiao Wuliang’s right hand struck down heavily through the air.
"BOOM!!!"
A terrifying bolt of thunder exploded in the sky.
The continuous thunderclaps almost shattered one’s mind into a blank whiteness.
The next moment, thunder occupied the entire sky, with endless lightning striking upwards, meeting the flames that seemed to swallow Jiangzhou City.
