Cocytus Is Out-Retreat, Yan

Hiss!

Hiss!

Cocytus's entire body was continuously corroded by white steam. The insect-like mouthparts extending from his mouth even showed signs of melting.

The ring weapon flew forward at high speed. "I'm not as weak as you imagine, insect warrior!" Though frozen and unable to move, Shadow Clone Tang Zheng rapidly chanted, "Triple Magic Sword."

Three longswords radiating black light appeared in the air and shot forward as if they possessed wills
