Chapter 275 - Death and Rebirth
With both arms broken and his body slammed to the ground by Fu Yiran, Hua Dongsheng lay there groaning, unsure how many bones were shattered. Nevertheless, hearing Sikong Yan's brutal orders sent a chill racing up his spine, jolting him to full awareness.
A wave of terror spread from his tailbone upward, leaving him scared beyond measure. He couldn’t help but shout, "Wait, wait!"
