The mouthparts of the roach man writhed, emitting a series of eerie, clicking sounds.
Its pair of emotionless compound eyes intensely fixed on the prey, which seemed to have excellent flesh but was elusive to catch.
"Swoosh—"
It extended its six legs and scraped itself out of the stone wall, scattering debris everywhere, creating a tinkling noise in the silent hall.
With the barbs on its legs hooked onto the wall, the Roach Man hung there as if its feet were firmly planted on the ground.
"Boom!"
The stone wall exploded, and dark lightning struck again, this time with even greater speed and spontaneously blasting a circular ring of airwaves that spread out, extinguishing several lighter flames in the hall.
The banquet hall returned to darkness.
Just then, unbeknownst to everyone, two flames of Dark Flame ignited in Xue Jing's pupils, quietly pulsating within.
