"Whoosh!"
Two blades of qi cut through the universe, with the Golden Mantis charging out close behind them.
Li Xuancang threw a punch. His fist first shattered the qi blades, then collided with the Golden Mantis's twin arms.
"Pfft!"
Seizing the chance, Tuoba Wuzhu pulled back his sharp sword and swiftly retreated.
The instant the sword was withdrawn, Li Xuancang's wound healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Thump, thump-thump-thump..."
His heart rapidly regenerated, beating like thunder as ripples spread through the surrounding space.

The Golden Mantis's expression changed. Then his eyes turned savage as he chose to meet force with force.
