Then!
As Li Xiaoya flew forward at tremendous speed...
Dozens of scarlet-gold Heaven-and-Earth Realm corpse puppet insects frantically spewed countless gray light blades at him!
However!
Clang, clang, clang! The steel-armored beetles circling Li Xiaoya buzzed and spun furiously, scarlet-gold light surging over their bodies.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Clang, clang, clang!
A cloud of scarlet-gold mist whirled furiously around the corpse puppet insects. Their shrieks and buzzing mingled with countless metallic clashes. Steel-armored beetles
