The giant praying mantis's ferocious expression changed as it stared at the corpse in disbelief. Had this corpse actually managed to block its attack? That was absurd!

Lu Yin seized this opportunity to pull out Progenitor Wushang’s hide and hold it up to the mantis’s eyes.

The astral beast was dazed for the moment and was unable to move.

"Sea King, attack! Three inches below its abdomen!" Lu Yin yelled. His pupils transformed into runes, and he stared at a point three inches down the mantis’s abdomen while using Truesight to weaken the beast.

The Sea King instantly reacted, and he thrust his trident forward to attack. He struck exactly three inches down the beast’s abdomen, and the powerful force behind it drove the trident deep into the mantis’s body and pushed it back. Blood spurted out as the creature was flung away.

Lu Yin coughed and quickly put Progenitor Wushang’s hide away again. He gasped for breath. He had almost been done for just then.

Fortunately, he still had that corpse on him. That body had been completely impervious to even the giant praying mantis’s blades. It was clearly just a corpse, but Lu Yin could not even begin to imagine how powerful the man must have been when still alive.

The mantis had been severely injured by the Sea King’s attack, and it did not return to attack Lu Yin again.

Xu Qing saw that not even the mantis had been able to kill Lu Yin, so he immediately called for the battle to stop.

Lu Yin had been badly injured and desperately...
