Squinting into the distance at the quickly approaching powered armor squad, and again at Leon, who had suddenly collapsed far away and hadn't been able to get up for a long time, middle-aged Joshua took a deep breath, then turned with a somewhat desolate look and left without reluctance.
He had seen what was going to happen countless times.
This guy, who had snatched the Rebels, was bitten by the Snake Spirit of the Scales Gold Sect right after breaking through the encirclement when his mental guard was at its weakest. Not only was his mental shield broken, but his Undying Body was temporarily sealed, leaving him with no life-saving aces.
