Bai Yiyi, who was beside him, felt a surge of recognition, recalling the memories she had read during this time. She eagerly spoke in Lin Xing’s mind, "I recognize this one. It’s called the Iron Armor Flying Insect. It flies like an arrow released from a bow, can gnaw through metal and iron, and fears neither water nor fire..."

Lin Xing exclaimed in surprise, "Master Bai, you even know about this?"

Bai Yiyi proudly said, "I told you my memory is recovering."

Just as Bai Yiyi was saying these things, a light chuckle came from outside the study.

The Iron Armor Flying Insect that had just been blocking the door suddenly undulated like a scattering cloud, directly revealing a passageway large enough for one person to enter and exit.

A man then walked in slowly from outside, welcomed by the countless fierce and strange insects.

This man looked ordinary, with dark skin and black curly hair, but he had a pair of profound eyes.

He wore a gray robe and carried the scent of herbs on his person.

It was Ma Hong from the Zhou Tian Sect.

Seeing Ma Hong’s appearance, the King of Hailan became even more terrified, his body involuntarily twitching.

He struggled to run to Ma Hong’s side but found himself fiercely gripped by Lin Xing, and he immediately cursed, "Elder Ma has already arrived, why are you still holding me? Let go of me!"

However, Ma Hong did not look toward the King of Hailan, instead glancing at the modern equipment on Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi. A barely perceptible contempt appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he had a calm demeanor, as if holding the overall situation in hand, and casually said, "Hiding your head and showing your tail... haha, tell me, who sent you? The military? Those bureaucrats? Or some foreign country?"

Meanwhile, in Lin Xing’s spiritual perception, Jing Shiyu and Zhang Tiande were hurrying over.

Jing Shiyu, with her mobile phone in hand, thought to herself, "The material I captured this time is enough to hammer that scumbag, I’ll see how you pretend to be pitiful online."

As Lin Xing awaited the arrival of Jing Shiyu and Zhang Tiande, he chose not to attack immediately or break through but instead took the opportunity to ask a question he wanted to know, "Are you the Fifth Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect? What are you trying to do by instigating a coup in Hailan Country?"

Ma Hong either felt everything was under control, did not take the masked people before him seriously, or was waiting for something.

At this moment, he too was not in a rush to act but rather casually said, "Purpose?"

"Why does a strong country taking over a weak one need an impressive reason?"

"You people from the secret realms are always so clueless, which is why, even if you have a strong army, you’ll never be our match in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, laughter rang out, and a torrent of Sword Qi swept toward Ma Hong.

The swarm of Iron Armor Flying Insects, like dark clouds, took the brunt of the Sword Qi, and with the collision, a loud boom erupted.

"Taiching Sect, Da Guangming Temple," Ma Hong said coldly, "I don’t believe I’ve provoked you, have I?"

With the Sword Maiden’s entry on the scene, everyone’s attention now shifted to each other as if the King of Hailan and the masked Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi by his side had become of no concern.

Farther away, Jing Shiyu and Zhang Tiande had made it to the outskirts of the battlefield, intently watching the situation, ready to support Lin Xing at any moment.

Amidst the dispersing Sword Qi, countless Iron Armor Flying Insects lost their vitality and scattered on the ground.

The Sword Maiden snorted coldly, glanced in the direction of the King of Hailan, seemingly confirming his identity.

As for the two people in combat suits and masks by the King of Hailan’s side, she assumed they were sent by Ma Hong to protect the king.

Seeing the king seemingly struggle to escape, the Sword Maiden unleashed a sword strike through the air, and the fierce Sword Qi left a deep sword mark on the ground in front of him.

Then she seriously warned, "Stay put and don’t move around, lest I accidentally kill you in a moment."

At the same time, the compassionate voice of Hui Ling echoed from behind, "Master Ma, you have committed many evils in your life, and meeting us today is your just desert."

"Committing many evils?" Ma Hong laughed, listening to the sound of gunfire outside and said, "What about you, manipulating people’s hearts, causing these soldiers of Hailan to kill each other, how do you explain that?"

Hui Ling sighed, "These soldiers have turned toward the Buddhist Law and, under my guidance, wish to abandon darkness for light, which is a great thing."

"This instead shows that you, Master Ma, are completely isolated; why not lay down your butcher’s knife and turn back from your sins?"

"Enough talk, just kill him with one sword strike and be done with it," the Sword Maiden complained impatiently, and as one with her sword, she transformed into a striking rainbow that once again slashed toward Ma Hong.

With the ascendence of this astonishing sword light, everyone present felt a chill over their entire body, their skin prickling as if stabbed by swords.

Amidst the hissing and crackling sounds, the dense swarm of Iron Armor Flying Insects was split by the sword light, like a thunderbolt tearing through layers of dark clouds, aiming for Ma Hong hiding behind them.

Simultaneously, a loud boom erupted as a slender figure burst through the palace’s exterior wall, standing directly in front of Ma Hong.

Seeing the figure blocking his path, Ma Hong thought to himself, "At last, you’ve come."

Amidst the clanging sounds, the newcomer attacked with both fists and palms, clashing back and forth with the Sword Qi strikes from the Sword Maiden, creating a series of metallic clangs.

"Such powerful body-protecting divine skill," the Sword Maiden commented excitedly after retracting her sword light, looking at the newcomer, "Who are you, to be able to withstand so many of my strikes without dying?"
