Liu Mang sensed trouble and quickened his pace, hoping to rush out of the passageway as soon as possible.
But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outpace the animated statues; several steel blades slashed at him in quick succession.
Sensing the danger, Liu Mang boldly struck out, grabbing a steel blade with each hand and forcefully pulling them to block another three blades.
The weight behind the five blades was substantial; though these figures were not as formidable as the previous evil corpse, their strength was still extraordinary.
After parrying the first strike, Liu Mang seized the two steel blades and, holding one in each hand, hacked his way forward, severing head after head.
The closer he got to the front, the more powerful the animated warrior statues became, especially a few dressed in scale armor resembling military officers.
A few officer statues managed to block Liu Mang's progress, standing guard outside the inner room.
