"Kill!" Li Huowang swept his sword hard along the ground, the blade flashing with a dark red arc of Knife Gang. In the next instant, the black shadow-puppet creature before him was sliced in half, letting out a shrill scream before dissolving into black smoke.
Seizing the moment, Li Huowang gritted his teeth and charged forward, rapidly closing the distance.
Li Huowang had thought he could easily handle the single remaining shadow-puppet monster, but the copper-masked man unexpectedly twitched his armpits a few times and sprouted four more arms. Each new hand grasped a different shadow puppet. As the man's long, slender fingers flicked, Li Huowang was instantly surrounded by a swarm of shadow-puppet monsters as thin as a cicada's wing, illuminated by the moonlight.
"Senior Brother Li, we're here to help you!"
"Stay back! Keep your distance! Miaomiao, stop beating the drum! I can handle these!" Li Huowang shouted, executing Sweeping Thousands of Troops to force them back slightly.
