As the two upper-ninth tier Insect Emperors fell with a thunderous crash, the remaining swarm descended into chaos like headless flies. Some Insect Emperors still fought stubbornly, swinging their sharp claws against the Red Lotus Immortal Swords; far more had been scared witless by Liu Changxu's terrifying might and beat their wings toward the horizon, cursing their parents for not giving them a few more pairs of wings.
A cold gleam flashed through Liu Changxu's eyes, and he seized the moment to attack with all his strength. His fingers shifted rapidly through spell seals, and the Thirty-Six Red Lotus Immortal Swords surged forth like crimson dragons rising from the abyss, pursuing the fleeing Insect Emperors. Karmic flames blazed along their blades, and they slew two low-ninth tier Insect Emperors in an instant.
Immediately afterward, the Heaven-Flipping Sea-Splitting Halberd transformed into a streak of silver that crossed the sky and pierced another low-ninth tier Insect Emperor's body.
The Great Sun Violet Gold Cauldron hovered in midair, pouring out true fire like a waterfall. Before long, it burned a stubbornly resisting low-ninth tier Insect Emperor alive.
In the space of just a few breaths, four ninth-tier Insect Emperors had died at his hands.
This thunderous slaughter utterly shattered the remaining Insect Emperors' resolve. With not a shred of fighting spirit left, they pushed their flight speed to the limit.
How could Liu Changxu let them escape? While directing the Thirty-Six Red Lotus Immortal Swords, the Ruyi Void-Mystic Mirror, and his other Innate Spirit Treasures to continue pursuing the fleeing mid- and low-ninth tier Insect Emperors, he formed seals with both hands. The power of temporal laws erupted around him, and a halo of interwoven light and darkness spread like ripples, precisely enveloping the three ninth-tier Insect Emperors farthest ahead.
