The air whistled as six twenty-foot shafts of black ice-slow steel dropped from the underground dark.
Nether-Emperor Yanluo struck with all six of his huge arms at the same time.

Their paths came together with terrifying sharp-angled care.
Two aimed for Lu Chen’s skull.
Two leveled at his chest bone.
Two drove low toward his main thigh blood vessels.
