Chapter 40: One-on-One
Third-Order Source Beast, Black Sky Mantis!
This extremely familiar dark tall figure can be said to make Liu Mu remember deeply.
I think that when I didn't enter the source at the beginning, I could only be ravaged by its play like a guinea pig.
However, although Liu Mu had reached the peak of the Nine Star Origin, at this moment, he could still feel that eerie and dangerous palpitation.
The strength of the third-order source beast is equivalent to that of a human source master, and the Black Sky Mantis is the best at one-on-one fighting, and it is still above its territory.
At this time, the fangs in the mouth of the Black Sky Mantis surged, and the smelly green juice dripped from its mouth one after another, which was the most instinctive appetite response of the Black Sky Mantis when facing its prey.
However, compared to the first time Liu Mu saw it, the two green rays of green light in his eyes were now pitch black.
This should be the black sky mantis that once hunted itself.
"Sure enough, you're still here!"
Liu Mu stared at the pitch-black tall black figure with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice.
Yanagi obviously knew that the Black Sky Mantis generally had a territory of its own, and would always be active in it, hiding the prey that passed by.
The body of the Black Sky Mantis shrank for a moment, and the next moment it burst out like a torrent, and the pitch-black blades on its arms flickered, as if it was about to tear the pitch-black night sky apart.
"Then let me understand the strength of the source master!"
Liu Mu did not hesitate, but his eyes were full of fiery battle intent, this would be the first life-and-death battle between him and the 'Source Master'.
The cold light flashed in Liu Mu's hand, a sharp long sword was clenched in his hand, and the next moment he stomped under his feet, and the source power of his body was turbulent, and his body was like a streamer flying towards the black sky mantis.
In an instant, the Black Sky Mantis and the Willow Wood were about to collide together.
Looking at the pitch-black blade that came from the right side at an extremely fast cross-cutting speed, Liu Mu instantly used the source power of his body, and his body quickly took off into the air and rotated sharply downward, dodging the death scythe to the limit, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand slashed diagonally towards the body of the Black Sky Mantis with the rotation momentum.
"Ding!"
A loud and piercing sound of metal colliding resounded through the dark silence, and at the same time, a powerful source force fluctuation quickly opened up.
The Black Sky Mantis's other pitch-black blade obviously blocked Liu Mu's incomparably sharp attack.
In the next moment, another pitch-black blade quickly raised and slashed, and between the lightning and flint, it had completely blocked Liu Mu's retreat.
The pitch-black blade slashed downwards at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, a burst of air rippled below, and the jet-black blade immediately pierced through Liu Mu's body, but it did not splash a trace of blood, but it was extremely sharp and penetrated three feet deep into the ground.
An afterimage on the blade of the Black Sky Mantis slowly dissipated, and at the same time, a huge ball of fire with a monstrous heat wave swept in, and the former quickly closed his arms to defend!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the terrifying energy of the explosion swept away, and all the grass and trees around it were scattered, and it was a mess.
The smoke slowly dissipated, and the figure of the Black Sky Mantis was revealed.
Seeing this, Liu Mu's brows furrowed, because he had already sensed that the 'Great Flying Flame' he had just cast had failed to break through the Black Sky Mantis's slightest defense, which showed that the pitch-black iron armor on his body was extremely hard.
The next moment, the Black Sky Mantis continued to explode, obviously a little impatient to ravage the prey in front of it again.
This time, Liu Mu no longer met the attack, because he already roughly knew the difference in strength between himself and the Black Sky Mantis, and if he caught his flaws again, he would obviously be in danger because he could no longer use the Infinite Ghost Shadow to dodge.
The pitch-black blade roared, and Liu Mu immediately urged the source force to dodge and dodge, and the towering giant tree behind him was quickly cut off by the waist, and then fell down with a bang.
The Black Sky Mantis only stayed for a moment, and immediately burst out to catch up.
Next, Liu Mu always runs the source power of his whole body, and only relies on his physical function to dodge and escape under the pitch-black blade very dexterously, and every time there is a gust of eerie cold wind passing over his body, as if he is escaping under the scythe of death, all of which are thrilling!
After a few pulls, Liu Mu discovered a very subtle habitual movement of the Black Sky Mantis, that is, every time he dodged and pulled a certain distance, the latter's body would pause for half a moment.
"I see!"
Taking advantage of the distance from the Black Sky Mantis again, Liu Mu seemed to think of something, but the sweat on the latter's forehead kept flowing down at this time, and his mouth was panting, obviously his body functions had been consumed a lot.
After pausing for a moment, the Black Sky Mantis quickly continued to hunt towards Willow again, and the pitch-black blade of his right arm quickly opened and cut horizontally at Willow's waist, trying to cut off Willow Wood and the towering giant tree behind him.
When the pitch-black blade slashed horizontally, the long sword in Liu Mu's hand flashed towards the giant tree behind him, and then urged a light shield seal held tightly in his hand, and in an instant, a light shield appeared on Liu Mu's side and collided with the pitch black blade.
"Bang!"
Yanagi's body was immediately shot out by the pitch-black blade.
The next moment, the Black Sky Mantis figure paused for a moment, but it was in this moment that the towering number behind Liu Mu's position just now fiercely fell from the top of his head.
Seeing this, the Black Sky Mantis quickly raised its arms to hold the giant tree steadily, and suddenly a sword light shot through at a rapid speed like a meteor, and the Black Sky Mantis was carrying the giant tree with both arms at this time, and it was too late to withdraw its hands to defend.
A long sword quickly pierced into the mouth of the Black Sky Mantis, and the latter's whole body swung violently, and an incomparably powerful source power fluctuation exploded, and the giant trees on his arms were shattered and flew away in an instant.
"Secret technique, Qi Break!"
A loud shout sounded in front of the Black Sky Mantis, and the next moment, the Black Sky Mantis's head instantly exploded and flew around, and the incomparably fishy green juice sprayed out, splashing the body of Liu Mu, who was holding the long sword in front of him.
In fact, in this short period of time, Liu Mu perfectly implemented a countermeasure he had just thought of.
Because during the previous dodge, Yanagi noticed that the reason why the Black Sky Mantis paused for a moment from time to time was due to the lack of eyes, Yanagi guessed that its sharp perception ability had a certain range limit, and beyond a certain range, it needed eye cooperation to quickly sense the enemy's position.
Now the Black Sky Mantis was blinded by the latter when it hunted Willow for the first time, and now its perception ability has naturally decreased greatly beyond a certain range, so Willow has taken advantage of the former's long-range perception defects to kill it.
During this period, Liu Mu used the towering giant tree behind him to trap the Black Sky Mantis's hand blade, and then quickly threw out his long sword to break through the first layer of the Black Sky Mantis's defense while he was being bounced away, and then when the Black Sky Mantis was furious and furious, he cast the Infinite Ghost Shadow outside the latter's perception and smashed the Qi Breaker that was charged at the same time into the long sword in the Black Sky Mantis's mouth to complete the final kill.
Liu Mu wiped the stinking green juice on his face with the sleeves of his shirt, which were still clean, and then walked over to a crystal material the size of two thumbs on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and rubbed it twice on his shirt.
"It looks like it's scrapped!"
Yanagi reached out and touched the copper-gold soft armor that had been cut into a long crack on his chest.
This soft armor was actually picked up by Liu Mu from Zhu Wentong's corpse, but it was never taken out and used, but this time it was taken out and put on because he had to fight with the Black Sky Mantis, and it just fit, and fortunately, this soft armor was used to resist the Black Sky Mantis's knife just now, otherwise there would be an extra bloody mouth on his chest.
"But it's a bit of luck, and hopefully we can keep it up in the future. ”
Liu Mu put a beast crystal and long sword in his hand into the source ring, and his figure disappeared in the dark and silent mountain forest in a flash, as if no one had ever been here.
The mess and stench of the surroundings in the dark night seemed to be known only to the nearby woods and meadows.
