As He Ao moved, brilliant lightning illuminated the surrounding space in an instant.
Like a swimming dragon, the lightning flowed through the empty central area, linking one electrode after another as it traveled from one eyeball to the next.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red eyeballs around He Ao had been connected into a web by the blazing electricity.
The eyeballs suddenly froze as fine arcs of electricity spread across their bodies.
Their movements came to a halt.
At that moment, He Ao did not hesitate. He raised his hand and threw the Shadowless Sword, which had long since fallen into his palm.
Dazzling sword light streaked through the dim shadows around him and instantly pierced a blood-red eyeball.
Then the sword light abruptly turned and shot toward a nearby eyeball.
This was the tactic He Ao and Li Cheng had devised on their way through the passage.
How should they fight if they encountered such a large number of eyeballs again?
Their final conclusion was that Li Cheng would first spread the power of the Spear of Andarville throughout the area for crowd control, then He Ao would use the Shadowless Sword to harvest them.
In the blink of an eye, streak after streak of sword light pierced several eyeballs in succession.
Some eyeballs at the edge reacted. Flesh on their bodies twisted and wriggled, while something like distorted limbs vaguely began to "unfold" beneath their spherical outer skin.
But before they could fully extend, sharp sword light pierced their bodies and ended their movements forever.
The eyeballs whose bodies had been pierced began to rot and vanish at a visible rate. Their severed limbs dissipated into ash before they could even fall to the ground.
He Ao had directly sacrificed these eyeballs to the Maid Puppet.
