Within the red mist, it seemed that countless parasitic venomous insects were shrieking sharply. They packed the air densely, wave after wave. In the blink of an eye, the red mist had covered a space spanning dozens of yards in every direction.
Chi Yunsang's expression tightened, but he quickly formed hand seals. The small windows on the Scarlet-Black Treasure Pagoda, which had looked like mere decorations, suddenly opened. Clusters of flowing flames, like fire serpents, drilled out from within. As slender tongues of flame danced through the air, they swept toward the red mist, producing a sizzling sound.
At the same time, under Chi Yunsang's urging, the Scarlet-Black Treasure Pagoda grew larger once more and pressed down heavily. The huge body of the humanoid lizard demon was forcibly crushed several inches shorter, and it let out a panicked cry.
The other humanoid lizard demon, which had been rushing toward Lu Xiaotian, was blocked by the Nirvanic Fire Ants. The Nirvanic Fire Ants were extraordinarily fierce, but compared with the humanoid lizard demon, they were somewhat weaker. After only a few exchanges, the humanoid lizard demon had beaten them back step by step. Their bodies were also covered by dark-red insects, each about an inch long, crawling out of the red mist like leeches. Even with their hard, sharp shells, the Nirvanic Fire Ants cried out repeatedly in pain and were beginning to falter.
The humanoid lizard demon that had forced the Nirvanic Fire Ants back was just about to heavily injure them in one decisive strike when it never would have guessed that Chi Yunsang would be so ferocious. In only a few exchanges, he had suppressed its companion. Thus, it could only temporarily abandon the Nirvanic Fire Ants and charge toward Chi Yunsang.
Lu Xiaotian breathed a faint sigh
