Chapter 37: The Mysterious Man
"What kind of life will be born with a tree as a host? It's really fascinating. ”
The orchid mantis stood with a pair of big eyes, staring at the strange insect that was ovulating into Shen Mu's body, and the triangular insect couldn't see any expression on its face.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, she felt a sense of danger.
But before he could react, the next second, a flying sword broke through the air, and the sound of whistling resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The flying sword pierced directly through the abdomen of the strange insect, shattering its huge body entirely, turning it into a sky of green juice and pouring it on the mantis's body.
"Ahh Damn it! The bridge, which had been built with great difficulty, was destroyed. ”
She turned to look at Shen Mu, who was in a coma, "You can stay inside first." ”
With that, the worm beneath her feet flowed, enveloping Shen Mu, swallowing it, and then turning into a huge sphere, obediently sticking to the worm wall.
She herself spread her wings and jumped from the sky, her size rising at the sight of the wind, and finally becoming a few points taller than the wall of wormmen.
"I'd like to see how strong you are."
She cocked her scythe and looked out into the distance, where a figure was slowly growing in size in her line of sight.
In less than a few breaths, the figure stopped in front of the praying mantis.
It turned out to be a man wearing an aqua blue robe with a white face.
Seeing that his age was about thirty years old, there was a phantom of a long sword floating behind him, which was about the same height as him, surrounded by dense runes, exuding great might.
Compared to the giant praying mantis, the man was not even the size of her eyes, but the momentum of the whole person was not far behind.
"When did you have more bugs in Qingshizhou?"
The man's face was disgusted, and with a gesture of his hand, the sword that had killed the strange insect before returned to his hand.
"Hmph, it's useless to talk more, you ruined my good deeds today, so pay for it with your life."
The praying mantis took the lead in attacking, and the claws glowed with silver light, slashing towards the man, and countless dense blades of light suddenly covered the space where the man was standing.
But the man's speed was extremely fast, like a flexible butterfly, he easily dodged the dense light blades, and his backhand could also slash out the sword qi and attack the mantis.
But the mantis's body seemed to be made of pink-white runyu, and those sword qi bombardments on her body didn't even leave obvious scars, not even a trace.
In the first round of testing by both sides, it was obvious that they did not have any advantage.
Seeing this, the praying mantis raised its bulging abdomen, as if ovulating, and shot out a small orchid mantis similar to her, overwhelming the world, like locusts crossing the border, rushing towards the man like a streamer.
Between heaven and earth, there was a disgusting sound of flapping wings and humming.
The man stepped back, pulling away some distance, then closed his eyes and raised his sword.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of white light, and his sword intent was excited.
Then, he took the blade of the sword with his other hand and wiped it over the entire blade, leaving a red blood on it, and a bright peach blossom wrapped around the sword.
He held the sword in both hands, and slashed forward with all his strength, the peach blossoms on the sword dissipated, and a red sword qi dozens of meters long was generated, pressing towards those little mantises.
Wherever the sword qi passed, it plowed out a furrow for the ground below.
Eventually, the sword qi and the meteor shower-like praying mantis collided.
The speed of the two of them was slightly sluggish, and those little mantis that directly touched the sword qi made the sound of jade shattering, turning into bursts of powder and spilling onto the ground.
But after the sword qi light blade smashed one by one mantis, cracks also appeared on the blade surface, and finally the entire sword qi exploded, engulfing the entire mantis, and finally only a burst of aftermath remained, raging Changfeng City, which was already devastated.
This time, the two sides fought to a draw again, and it seemed that no one could help the other.
"In this way, our strength is about the same, and if we continue to fight, we will end up losing both. Why don't you give in and let me go, and I won't hold you accountable? ”
The mantis woman judged the current situation and made a suggestion to the man.
The more they reach their level of cultivation, the more afraid they will actually be of death, and the more afraid they will be of dispersing their cultivation.
"Aren't you scared? Well, you give me that boy with your own hands, and I can consider letting you go. ”
The man snorted coldly, and the sword was cold again.
"You don't want to get an inch!"
The praying mantis spreads its wings and vibrates, letting out an angry roar.
"Looks like you think I'm joking."
With that, the man stretched out his empty hand behind him, passed through the dense runes, and grasped the hilt of the Phantom Sword, and then there was a sound of a sharp blade coming out of the sheath in the air, and the Phantom Sword also became solid, and was pulled out by the man from behind, and the light bloomed.
"People in the same realm, there are few people who can let me pull out this sword, you can go on the road with peace of mind."
With that, he closed his eyes, crossed the two swords in his hand, one large and one small, one real and one virtual, in front of his chest, and the whole person escaped into the air, and even disappeared with a body of sword qi.
"Humph! You sword cultivators love to pretend to be gods and ghosts, I have been reborn many times, and you also want to break through my defenses? ”
The mantis woman yelled at the place where the man had been standing, maybe her attack power was insufficient, but when it came to defense, she was very confident.
"Come on!"
Her whole body glowed with pink and white, and she was plated with a layer of jade-like plating, as if she had turned into a huge jade statue.
Suddenly, the air around the praying mantis became extremely cold, and after she noticed it, she felt a bad feeling in her heart for some reason, and hurriedly buried her head in her claws.
The vast sword qi attacked, behind the praying mantis, a little cold light appeared, and then pulled into a white sword wire, through the body of the mantis, the sword wire revealed a dazzling white light, enveloping the mantis in its entirety, in the white light, there was a sound of sword blade slashing.
"Bang!"
After a long time, the first sound of jade shattering came, followed by the second, and then the sound of the whole jade falling to the ground that could not be stopped any longer.
The white mangs dispersed, the sword wire disappeared, and the man appeared where he had been standing, panting violently, and the phantom sword in his hand also dissipated.
And the giant praying mantis, standing still, motionless.
A breeze blew through her body, and countless slash marks appeared on her body, green blood burst out from these incisions, and the corpses fell one by one, unable to stick to her body anymore, falling to the ground.
The dark clouds that hung over Changfeng City dissipated, the sky brightened again, and the disgusting wall of insects began to crumble.
And the giant ball that trapped Shen Mu also cracked in an instant as if it had lost its adhesive, and he fell down like dumplings with countless insects.
As he was about to fall to the ground, a sword rang out, and a flying sword caught him.
"Luckily, it arrived in time."
The man looked at Shen Mu lying on the flying sword, his face was worried, and he let out a heavy breath.
