Chapter 257: Between Life and Death

The Dark Mantis charged, flapping its wings and sending a gust of wind across the ground, knocking everyone on their backs. While everyone's foothold was not stable, it had rushed to the center of the crowd like lightning, as black as ink, and the scythe that was stronger than steel was raised high, and slashed down with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The terrifying psionic shock spread out around the scythe, and the powerful shock wave like a nuclear bomb explosion blew the sand and earth like the waves of the sea. All of a sudden, the smoke and dust rolled up, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The warriors who were closer to the Dark Mantis suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in their bodies was tumbling violently like boiling water, and the weaker ones even exploded and died on the spot.

"If you don't wear soul-level soul armor or below the Heavenly Spirit Realm, retreat immediately!" Li Lin made a decision immediately.

In the face of an opponent of this level, a spiritual cultivator whose strength is not up to the standard is of no use, and the aftermath of the battle alone is enough to completely destroy them from soul to body, and staying here is completely in vain.

Li Lin, Chu Binglan, Yang Yutong, Yan Blood Scale and other powerhouses above the Heavenly Spirit Realm rushed forward at the same time, surrounding the Dark Mantis and buying time for the retreating soldiers.

According to the tactics planned earlier, Li Lin took the lead in launching, and the ice cloud storm like a tidal wave rose from the ground, while Chu Binglan simultaneously created a large amount of ultra-smooth ice at the feet of the Shadow Mantis.

The Shadow Mantis slipped on the soles of its feet under the surprise of the Shadow Mantis, staggered, and then was pushed by the Storm Roll to lose its balance, and its movements couldn't help but slow down, and Su Yue's Shadow Ark took the opportunity to climb onto the Dark Mantis's head. Since they belonged to the same shadow family, the huge dark mantis did not notice this small shadow.

Yan Blood Scale and Yang Yutong suddenly rushed out of the shadows, brandishing their weapons and slashing at the two compound eyes of the Dark Mantis respectively.

There was a puff and a puff, and the compound eyes of the dark mantis were cut off by the two of them.

Oh!

A roar that shook the soul resounded across the battlefield, and the body of the dark mantis suddenly erupted like a tsunami. Its wings vibrated rapidly, and a ** black spiritual energy vibration came into being, like an ultrasonic wave spreading rapidly to all sides.

The three people who were on top of the mantis' head bore the brunt of the attack, and immediately bled from their seven orifices, and their spiritual energy was disordered, and they couldn't even stand up, and fell directly from the top of the mantis's head.

The Dark Mantis could not see, but its perception was still sensitive, and a pair of giant scythes danced in front of it in two rays of light and shadow, trying to chop the three people who fell into a pulp.

Yang Yutong and Yan Blood Scale were both in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and they had recovered after a short period of shaking their minds, and although they were all sore, they had also successfully escaped from the attack area of the Dark Mantis. Only Su Yue was only in the Earth Spirit Realm, and her soul was originally unstable, and she was directly unconscious after suffering the impact, and she was about to be torn to pieces by the sharp black sickle.

Li Lin's eyes were suddenly blood-red, and he rushed over regardless of the wind, and the huge ice shield bloomed layer by layer like a lotus flower, finally slowing down the giant scythe's slash for a moment.

In an instant, it was the distance between life and death, Li Lin hugged Su Yue and fled to the periphery like wind and lightning.

The Dark Mantis turned around with a roar, chasing Li Lin with its keen reaction to psionic energy, a pair of sickle feet dancing in the air like the wind.

It was blind, so it instinctively grasped the psionic reaction that first appeared in its perception, and took it as a mortal enemy who blinded its own eyes.

When it chased with all its might, no one on the battlefield could escape its speed, and neither could Li Lin. Li Lin didn't know whether the praying mantis was chasing Su Yue or him, so he didn't dare to let go of Su Yue at all, so he had to run away with her in his arms. The dance of the scythe is like a prophecy of death, and Li Lin is the dancer between the blades, always dodging deadly slashes by the slightest difference.

With a hissing sound, a bloody streak appeared on Li Lin's back, and although he successfully dodged the scythe, he was cut by the air flow brought by the scythe. The sudden sharp pain made Li Lin's body stagnate, and this short delay was fatal, and the follow-up attacks followed one after another without any gaps.

The Dark Mantis also knew that it had caught its prey, and the black aura surged out, and the sickle claws, which were sharper than fine iron, rushed to the top like Mount Tai.

It's too late to dodge, the only thing you can do is to resist a hard blow and fly out with the help of impact, but where can you casually withstand the attack of the Soul Realm? Li Lin didn't have much confidence to take the full blow of the Soul Realm, if he couldn't bear it, both of them would be cut off by the huge scythe.

It's okay for me to die, but Su Yue has to live! In the brief moment without any gap, Li Lin's heart was empty, and his only thought was to let Su Yue live.

Instead of creating an ice shield to prolong his life, he gave priority to using the wind to push Su Yue away from the attack range of the Dark Mantis. Under two points of power, the ice shield was as thin as paper, at least for the Dark Mantis.

The furious scythe broke through the ice shield like slicing tofu, and the blade pointed directly at Li Lin's half of his body.

"No!" A heart-rending cry reached Li Lin's ears, and he turned his face to find that Su Yue had just woken up.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and he actually had time to smile and comfort her: "It's okay, it's good that you're alive!" ”

Of course, Su Yue couldn't hear this, because the dance of the scythe arrived faster than the sound, but she easily read Li Lin's lips, and she knew that it was the only thought in his heart, which was better than instinct.

At that moment, something boiled in Su Yue's heart.

None of this would have happened if I had been stronger, and if I had been stronger, I would have protected everyone! If you can protect everyone, even if you sell your soul!

There was a soft snap, and what was sealed in her soul awoke.

A shadow darker than the night spread from Su Yue's fingertips, as if it had transcended time and space, and suddenly appeared beside Li Lin, and the shadow rolled up, enveloping Li Lin in an instant, turning into nothing like a shadow.

The Dark Mantis's scythe slashed through the shadows, and it was empty.

A black shadow appeared in front of Su Yue and spit out Li Lin. There was a terrifying crack in his front that ran diagonally across his entire body, deep into the bone, nearly splitting him in two.

Su Yue's shadow was a step too late after all, and although he barely saved his life, he couldn't avoid fatal injuries.

"I'm sorry." Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Su Yue's eyes, "It's all because I'm too weak." ”

"Don't cry, the makeup is all spent." Li Lin struggled to raise his hand and gently wiped Su Yue's face, "With Zhao Xingya, you can't die." ”

Zhao Xingya rushed over, took Li Lin from Su Yue's hand, and immediately treated him with elemental transformation.

Su Yue stood up and stood in front of Li Lin without fear, looking at the huge dark mantis, but as if she was looking down on it condescendingly.

"Brute, get out of here!" Su Yue's voice carried a certain sense of indescribable coercion, as if she was born to be a high king.
