Flames of demonic energy roiled over Blood Giant's enormous body. Without casting any divine ability, he directly drove his massive form to follow Qin Fengming's towering manifestation as it suddenly lunged toward the distant swarm of black-and-red demonic insects.
Qin Fengming saw clearly that, tens of thousands of miles from the mountain peak, countless swarms of demonic insects and demonic beasts had already appeared.
Those demonic insects and beasts surged forward in a frenzy, heading straight for the swarm controlled by Cyan Cicada Demon Lord. The reason for this was naturally that the other insect and beast swarms had sensed the aura of the Jiyu Stone.
The aura of the Jiyu Stone could lure demonic beasts and insects, but they could not do anything to the stone itself.
Qin Fengming had left a Jiyu Stone atop the peak precisely so that, once Cyan Cicada Demon Lord came under attack, he would have no time to concern himself with the demonic insects.
Just as Qin Fengming drove his manifestation toward the dozens of Mature Form demonic insects surrounded by the black-and-red swarm, a fierce shout rang out through the sea of insects:
"Old man has not dealt with a fellow cultivator face-to-face for hundreds of thousands of years. I truly underestimated your cunning. But you need not get complacent. Even if I have to sacrifice this swarm of demonic insects I painstakingly subdued, I will still capture you."
As the fierce shout rang out, a strange insect cry suddenly rose from the swarms surrounding the mountain peak.
The insect cries resounded, and a foul, fishy stench suddenly spread through the air from nowhere.
Qin Fengming's towering manifestation abruptly halted, and he and Blood Giant stopped in midair.
Amid the surging stench-filled mist, Qin Fengming was stunned by the scene before him.
