Miao Yi couldn't clearly see what was hiding in the blood mist, but he didn't have to think too much. A thought flashed through his mind, and Miao Yi had already guessed what it was. He quickly retreated backwards, and grabbed the Inversed-Scales Spear that was stuck in the ground.
His actions immediately caused the green eyes inside to flash. 'Whoosh!' A mountainous shadow instantly emerged from the blood mist.
An object the size of a small mountain crashed towards him at lightning speed. One could only imagine its might. A forelimb as thick as a tree shot out like lightning, brazenly charging towards the rapidly retreating Miao Yi.
Miao Yi's speed of escape paled in comparison to the speed of this attack. There was no way he could avoid it.
In a panic, Miao Yi sucked the Inversed-Scales Spear into his hand. Using his fastest speed, he held the spear horizontally in an attempt to block this attack.
'Boom!' A deafening explosion resounded.
The horizontally thrust Inversed-Scales Spear erupted with a golden light, but it was completely unable to block this swift and violent attack. It was repelled, and Miao Yi's hands instantly loosened.
'Boom!' Another explosion resounded. The repelled Inversed-Scales Spear struck Miao Yi's chest, and was sent flying.
'Boom!' Another loud explosion resounded, and even the ground trembled. Miao Yi, who was violently spitting out a mouthful of blood, was sent flying like a meteor. The golden radiance of the high-purity red crystal armor on his body instantly dimmed. One of the thick walls of Changfeng Ancient City instantly collapsed, and the flying Miao Yi sent debris flying everywhere.
Even so, Miao Yi's momentum couldn't be stopped. Like a meteorite falling from the sky, Miao Yi broke through the walls and destroyed the buildings within the ancient city. He slid on the ground, and stopped in the center of the ancient city, where he was once again buried by a collapsed house.
Five mantises immediately flew over, and circled above the burial ground.
A giant Hell Mantis with a black carapace that shone with a dark luster under the moonlight landed on the ground, appearing outside of the Boundless Secular World. Its body was at least a hundred feet long, and its gigantic chewing mouthparts were chewing. Its large green eyes flickered, and sharp barbs grew out of its limbs. The space under its abdomen was large enough for a horse to run, and it was terrifying.
The mysterious blood mist behind it suddenly burst out. It was still violently churning.
'Crash!' All of a sudden, the bricks that were buried underneath were lifted up. Miao Yi's face was covered in blood, and he was coughing up mouthfuls of blood from time to time. His body struggled to flip around in the pit, and the five praying mantises landed beside him.
It was also because of the sound of the bricks. Outside the ancient city, the gigantic Hell Mantis that had stopped outside the Boundless Secular World twisted its head, its huge green eyes glimmering once more. It crouched slightly and bounced off the ground, instantly disappearing from its original spot.
Rumble! Inside the ancient city. Along the original path that Miao Yi had taken, the houses on the left and right that hadn't collapsed were instantly smashed into smithereens by the giant Hell Mantis's attack, causing dust and debris to fly everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, he landed on the ground and stared at Miao Yi, who was still on the ground. He raised one of his sharp forelimbs and was about to stab him to death.
Miao Yi's chest heaved up and down rapidly as he stared at the gigantic creature before him. He couldn't stop coughing up blood as he smiled bitterly. A single strike from the Hell Mantis had almost crippled him. Against the Hell Mantis before him, he didn't have the ability to retaliate at all with his cultivation. If it weren't for his high-purity Red Crystal Armor blocking the attack, he would already be a dead man.
Looking at the gigantic sharp forelimbs that were raised, he didn't have any ability to dodge at all. He suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. He had really gone too far this time. After going to the outside world, he had started to look down on the things of the smaller worlds. Now that he had tasted the bitterness, he finally understood why even the Six Sages didn't dare to casually step foot into the Boundless Secular World. He had long since heard of the terror of the Hell Mantis in the Boundless Secular World, but he still came here to seek death. He really wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin.
But at least he would die knowing that this monster's strength far surpassed the Golden Lotus realm. Even if it was at the Ninth Grade of Golden Lotus, it still wouldn't be able to kill him with a single strike under the protection of his high-purity Red Crystal Armor. He actually didn't even have the ability to block a single strike from the Hell Mantis. Just how terrifying was this monster's strength?
In this lifetime, he could be considered to have weathered many storms and waves, but he didn't expect to fail miserably in such an easy task. He actually died because of his carelessness. Wasn't this an injustice?
As these sorrowful thoughts flashed through his mind, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he welcomed death.
"Buzz buzz …"
Even though the five praying mantises were intimidated by the Hell Mantis's powerful aura, they still threw caution to the wind at this moment. They let out cries and charged forward, grabbing onto the Hell Mantis as they stabbed and screeched. Sparks flew as they bit down on the Hell Mantis. Their sharp claws were completely useless against the Hell Mantis's carapace; they couldn't even scratch it in the slightest. Comparing the size of the two, it even made one feel like it was a little ridiculous.
The five praying mantises turned around and charged towards the Hell Mantis's eyes, attacking its weak point. That area was definitely a mantis' weak spot.
But compared to the Hell Mantis, their strength wasn't even on the same level. The two antennae on the Hell Mantis's head swung in circles a few times, like two long vajra whips.
With a few loud clangs, the five praying mantises were immediately sent flying away.
In the end, the five praying mantises weren't afraid of death. After being sent flying, they charged forward again to tangle with the Hell Mantis.
The gigantic Hell Mantis twisted its triangular head, its glossy green eyes staring at the five praying mantises as they repeatedly attacked. It then lowered its head to look at Miao Yi, who was lying among the messy bricks. It seemed to be a little hesitant, raising its sharp forelimbs and hesitating to stab down.
Clang clang! The two long vajra whip-like antennae swept the five praying mantises away once again. The Hell Mantis slowly lowered the scythe it had raised, and its gigantic body slowly turned around.
Miao Yi was stunned, watching the Hell Mantis's gigantic abdomen turn over his head. He was worried that he would be smashed to death by its butt.
Whoosh! A cloud of dust rose up, and the air currents swirled. The Hell Mantis soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, landed outside of the Boundless Secular World. It slowly strode towards the treacherous surging blood mist. It couldn't stay outside of the Boundless Secular World for long, and this was because it could only come out at night.
However, the five praying mantises were relentless, and chased after the Hell Mantis from behind, madly biting and biting, occasionally creating sparks.
The Hell Mantis didn't make any response to this, and only turned around to glance at the five praying mantises. Its glossy green eyes flickered for a moment, and then it turned back again. Its head entered the treacherous blood mist, and its gigantic body slowly followed suit. The heavy steps it took carried an ancient and desolate aura.
Only after the gigantic body entered the Boundless Secular World, and completely disappeared into the depths of the mist with a whoosh, did the five praying mantises flutter in the air for a while, as if they were the ones who had scared or chased the Hell Mantis away. Only then did they fly back with a whooshing sound.
Miao Yi looked at the five praying mantises who had returned to his side, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in an attempt to show off their accomplishments. From time to time, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could see it clearly, it was too obvious. The Hell Mantis had let him go for the sake of the five praying mantises, and had originally intended to kill him!
He thought he was going to die, and had already prepared himself to die. Who would have thought that the five praying mantises would actually be able to save him from the Hell Mantis?
Looking at the Hell Mantis's size, it was about the same size as the one Lao Bai had summoned all those years ago. He was a little suspicious that these five praying mantises of his were the offspring of that Hell Mantis.
Three silhouettes flashed across the sky, patrolling the area. The commotion here was quite a distance away from Changfeng City. Perhaps mortals wouldn't be able to hear it, but it couldn't escape the ears of a cultivator like Qin Weiwei. Furthermore, the commotion of this battle wasn't something that a small cultivator could create.
Thinking that Miao Yi was nearby, she couldn't stay here any longer. She immediately led Hong Mian and Lu Liu in this direction to search.
Along the way, the first thing they found was a long spear stabbed diagonally into the ground a few hundred zhang away from the ancient city of Changfeng. It was the Inversed-Scales Spear that Miao Yi had used to deflect the Hell Mantis's attack. Under the moonlight, it reflected a dark glow, attracting attention. Qin Weiwei landed on the ground and pulled it out to take a look. She immediately panicked.
Naturally, she knew the style of the weapon Miao Yi used. Even though she had never seen the material of this weapon before, she could tell at a glance that the Inversed-Scales Spear was Miao Yi's personal weapon. This proved her conjecture that the commotion of the battle just now was indeed related to Miao Yi.
It was clear that Miao Yi had met with some trouble if he had even thrown away such a weapon.
Hong Mian and Lu Liu were also a little flustered. Both of them recognized the style of the weapon Miao Yi used. Now, Miao Yi wasn't just their master, he was also their man. Now that they were intimate with each other, it was no longer the same attitude they used to have in the past. How could they not be anxious?
The three of them quickly rose into the air and opened their transcendence vision to scan their surroundings. The ancient city of Changfeng that had been wrecked a few hundred zhang away caught their attention. They flew over and followed the trail of destruction left behind, immediately spotting Miao Yi lying in the middle of the ruins, surrounded by five praying mantises.
The three of them had never seen Miao Yi's praying mantises before. Moreover, they were beside the Boundless Secular World, so naturally, they immediately thought of the Hell Mantises. Otherwise, how could a normal praying mantis be as big as a bull?
They had long heard of how powerful the Hell Mantises were. Seeing this, the three of them immediately thought that Miao Yi had been injured by these five Hell Mantises. They immediately donned their armor and prepared to save him.
The five praying mantises turned their heads and saw Qin Weiwei and the other two harboring malicious intentions. They also treated them as enemies, and began to buzz as they flapped their wings, preparing to attack.
Lying on the ground, Miao Yi's gaze was already a little unfocused. He was startled by the mantises' movements, and forced himself to gather his transcendence energy to open his transcendence vision. Only then did he clearly see Qin Weiwei and the other two hovering in the air.
Miao Yi cursed inwardly. How could Qin Weiwei and the other two be a match for these five praying mantises? They were really putting their lives on the line. He slightly raised his palm and desperately used his weak transcendence energy to open his storage bangle, using his will to call the five praying mantises back.
The five praying mantises whizzed back and burrowed into his storage bangle. Miao Yi's slightly raised hand also fell.
Seeing this situation, Qin Weiwei and the other two naturally realized that they had misunderstood, and quickly landed on the ground.
Seeing Miao Yi's miserable state, Qin Weiwei quickly knelt on the ground and held Miao Yi in her arms. Invoking her transcendence energy to examine him, she immediately discovered that Miao Yi's injuries were more than serious. His internal organs were all damaged, and his liver and intestines were torn apart. Beneath the armor, his arms were a bloody mess, and he would occasionally vomit blood from his mouth. His life was already hanging by a thread, and he was only relying on a weak strand of transcendence energy to protect his heart meridian, hanging on to his last breath. He didn't even have the ability to save himself. She really didn't know where he found the power to activate his storage bangle just now.
"How did this happen?" Qin Weiwei asked with a sobbing tone. Then she remembered that Miao Yi was no longer able to speak, and now was not the time to ask about this. She quickly turned to Hong Mian and Lu Liu and said, "Hurry! The Glorious Star immortal herb! Hurry hurry hurry … "
Hong Mian and Lu Liu were flustered. They quickly took out the Glorious Star immortal herb and knelt on one side, invoking their transcendence energy to blow out wisps of nebula, injecting them into Miao Yi's body.
Each and every one of the three women wept.
About an hour later, Miao Yi coughed forcefully and spat out a mouthful of blood. He could finally speak again, and weakly said, "We can't stay here for long … Find a place to hide …"
