The people being surrounded and controlled obviously didn't have the thought processes of a normal person. They basically didn't have the nimble and flexible reflexes, and only knew to attack their targets without any regard for their lives. It could be said that this was the weakness of Demon Monk Nan Bo's control method.
This group of people attacking without any regard for their lives might be a great threat to others, but against the Hell Mantises baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, it was a toothache.
The blades and spears struck the Hell Mantises' bodies, creating sparks. They couldn't hurt the Hell Mantises at all. The Hell Mantises' sharp limbs rampaged through the crowd, unafraid of the burning green ghost flames. They darted in and out of the ghost flames, as though they were the scythe of the grim reaper, quickly clearing up the encirclement.
Yan Xiu couldn't control the Hell Mantises with his thoughts like Miao Yi could. He could only use hand gestures or voice commands, and this was under the condition that Miao Yi had instructed and acknowledged Yan Xiu. Otherwise, the Hell Mantises wouldn't listen to his commands at all.
Leaving two by his side to help protect him, he waved his hand and pointed, yelling in a low, hoarse voice, "Kill!"
At the same time, his other hand took out a Star Bell and shook it, communicating with an unknown source.
The eight Hell Mantises immediately rushed out together like wind, fire, and lightning, charging towards the great array laid out by the thousands of people outside, charging into the midst of the slaughter.
Encountering a powerful person, a Hell Mantis' gigantic body was slapped down on the spot, crashing onto the ground like a meteorite falling from the sky. However, it crawled back up and shook its head, then quickly flapped its wings and charged into the sky. This thing wasn't afraid of death. It was born with no fear of death, and was originally something that came from the depths of the Nether Springs.
Encountering these eight invulnerable fellows causing trouble, the formation suppressing Yan Xiu immediately lost its effectiveness. Yan Xiu immediately felt the cultivation method within his body quickly returning to normal.
The situation was instantly reversed.
If Yan Xiu had brought eight experts with him, it might not have had such an effect. Hell Mantises were more suited to being thrown into a crowd.
"Hell Mantises?" Tian Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
Xiong Qi shook his head slightly. "They look like them, but they don't. How could Hell Mantises fly around in broad daylight?"
However, Hu Lin's face darkened. He looked at the eight Hell Mantises that were charging around like dead pigs unafraid of boiling water. His eyes were practically spitting fire. These eight beasts had suddenly appeared and ruined his plans!
He had no problem controlling normal birds and beasts, but he couldn't control the Hell Mantis. The thoughts of these bizarre beasts were harder to fathom, so he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it.
At this moment, Xiong Qi suddenly looked up into the sky.
A black dot fell straight down from the sky. It was a masked man!
The newcomer was none other than Yan Beihong, who had hurriedly rushed over after receiving Yan Xiu's notice. He grabbed his broadsword with one hand and stuck it to his back as he plunged downwards. He was as fast as a shooting star, and his eyes were like torches. He didn't care whether Yan Xiu lived or died as he headed straight for Xiong Qi and the other two.
Yan Xiu also did not want to use Yan Beihong, but under these circumstances, he absolutely did not want to let the demonic monk Nan Bo escape. This person was a great threat to his master, and he could not be left alive!
Moreover, everyone around him was being controlled. It would be difficult for him to handle the situation alone, so he had no choice but to use Yan Beihong's help. He didn't ask Yan Beihong to help him, but instead ordered Yan Beihong to kill those three at all costs!
As soon as Yan Beihong heard that this was a great threat, he no longer cared whether Yan Xiu was surrounded or not, and charged straight for the trio with an intense murderous intent!
Hu Lin and Tian Yuan also raised their heads and looked up into the sky.
Hu Lin muttered as he stared at the sky. When he saw that the person charging at him didn't react, he clasped his hands together and muttered to himself again. In the end, the person charging at him still didn't react, and continued to charge towards him without changing his target.
Hu Lin immediately knew that he couldn't control this person.
After receiving Yan Xiu's warning, it would be strange if Yan Beihong could still be controlled.
"Alright!" Xiong Qi tilted his head and gestured for Tian Yuan to go up and test the other party's strength.
Tian Yuan immediately brandished his spear and charged towards the sky.
The moment the two of them clashed, Yan Beihong instantly drew his large saber from behind his back and swung it down with a ferocious astral blade.
Tian Yuan was shocked by the incoming astral blade. He immediately knew that this person's cultivation far surpassed his, but it was already too late for him to dodge. He could only muster all of his cultivation and raise his spear horizontally to block the attack.
Boom! The astral blade dissipated.
Pu! Tian Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying.
After swinging his saber, Yan Beihong followed up with another astral blade. The seemingly tangible saber shadow tore through the air, and blood splattered in the air.
Tian Yuan instinctively raised his spear to block the attack, but to no avail. He was sliced in half in the air.
The scenery before him spun rapidly. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't remember the glory and wealth that he used to reminisce about.
He never thought that he would end his life in such a straightforward manner. He didn't even have a chance to hesitate.
The final scene that remained in Tian Yuan's mind was that of an alluring figure. It was Bi Yue's silhouette, and Bi Yue's face.
He had seen so many beautiful women in his life.
He had seen many women more beautiful than Bi Yue.
But now, he couldn't think of any of them.
The only thing he remembered was when they first entered the bridal chamber, when Bi Yue lifted her red veil and smiled at him tenderly and shyly. 'The heart is the most beautiful!'
He regretted deceiving Bi Yue this time. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have been in this predicament. He never thought that this would be his eternal farewell to Bi Yue. He would never be able to see her again.
"Bi Yue …" Tian Yuan murmured. As soon as he loosened his mouth, a large amount of blood flowed out from his nose and mouth.
Yan Beihong didn't care if Tian Yuan was sentimental, heartless, or sentimental. He also didn't care if Miao Yi had instructed Yan Xiu to kill Tian Yuan afterwards. Yan Beihong didn't even know who he was going to kill, and Yan Xiu didn't tell him either. All he knew was that the three people before him had to die. That was why he would show no mercy and kill without mercy!
After killing Tian Yuan in two moves, Xiong Qi looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes. Raising his spear, he said in a low voice, "Senior, we can't hesitate any longer. I'll cover you. You go first!" As soon as he finished speaking, he shot up into the sky.
However, Hu Lin didn't leave. He wasn't willing to give up. If he left just like that, then all his previous efforts would go to waste, and he would miss the chance to obtain the divine herb in Niu Youde's possession. He had to kill Yan Xiu. He couldn't let him go back alive!
However, Yan Xiu had the same thought as well. Seeing that one of them had been killed, and another one was heading towards Yan Beihong, leaving only one left, how could he let the opportunity slip by? He immediately brought the two Hell Mantises beside him and forcefully broke out of the encirclement. Pointing at Hu Lin, he shouted, "Kill!"
The other eight swarmed towards the same direction like a swarm of bees. In an instant, they charged out of the formation and headed straight for Hu Lin.
As soon as he saw the eight armored beasts charging towards him, Hu Lin's killing intent immediately vanished. He suddenly snapped out of his daze and had no choice but to face reality. He was no longer at his peak, and no longer had the right to act as he pleased.
Seeing the incoming threat, Hu Lin turned and ran, slightly regretting not listening to Xiong Qi. At the same time, he muttered something under his breath.
The encircling troops immediately gave up on intercepting Yan Xiu and chased after the eight Hell Mantises, rushing to Hu Lin's aid.
These Hell Mantises might not be very strong, but their flying speed was extremely fast. In a short while, they had caught up to Hu Lin.
Boom! The transcendence energy vibrated in the sky like a thunderstorm as the saber and spear met the attack head-on.
"Pfft!" Yan Beihong spat out a mouthful of blood onto the cloth. The large saber in his hand was almost knocked out of his hands, and his entire body was sent flying.
How could a person who could become the Right Commander of the Ying Family's personal guard be simple? Xiong Qi was just about to rush forward to kill Yan Beihong when he noticed that Hu Lin was in trouble with a cold glance. He quickly turned and went to help.
None of the surviving members of the Ying Family were willing to hide like this forever, especially for those who had once enjoyed limitless glory. Naturally, Xiong Qi was not willing to end up like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gather under Ying Yue's command so quickly. The arrival of Demon Monk Nan Bo had given him hope of revival. To put it bluntly, everyone was well aware of Ying Yue's abilities. Ying Yue was just a grandiose excuse for everyone to remain loyal to their old master. She could calm the hearts of the people and give them an explanation. The crux of the matter lay with Demon Monk Nan Bo. However, Demon Monk Nan Bo's identity could not be made public, so he could not let anything happen to Demon Monk Nan Bo. Emergency rescue!
Yan Beihong, who had steadied himself in the air, pounced down once again, chasing after Xiong Qi. His eyes gradually turned crimson.
The first Hell Mantis to catch up to Hu Lin swung its sickle at his head. Hu Lin dodged to the side, and with a wave of his hand, he swung a large hammer.
He didn't choose any other weapon. Instead, he chose a large hammer in his storage bangle to better display his strength. He swung his arm and ruthlessly smashed the side of the Hell Mantis's body. Bang! The Hell Mantis staggered to the side.
However, the remaining seven also took advantage of this opportunity to swarm him. What was a chaotic mess? With so many mantises ganging up on him, it was even more chaotic than a chaotic mess.
"Ugh …" Hu Lin let out a muffled groan. His abdomen split open, and his internal organs burst out.
What was even more painful was yet to come. His entire body was dismembered by the chaotic mess in almost an instant.
A golden silhouette flew out from the broken body.
At this moment, the large number of people chasing from behind all trembled, and they stopped in the air in a daze.
Yan Xiu, who was chasing from behind, cast a glance at the golden silhouette. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was indeed Demon Monk Nan Bo. He waved his hand and pointed. "Kill!" The two mantises beside him immediately broke away from him and chased after him!
Yan Xiu himself quickly threw out a black flag. It spun rapidly in the air and shot out rays of black light, quickly hitting the bodies of the people floating in the air in a daze. Yan Xiu grabbed the spirit summoning banner and pointed it at the ground. These people immediately began to slowly descend to the ground.
Ignoring these people, Yan Xiu continued to charge at Demon Monk Nan Bo with the spirit summoning banner.
The eight mantises caught up to the golden silhouette and scratched at it. They even bit at it. The golden silhouette trembled in the air and let out muffled groans. It was difficult for him to extricate himself from the entanglement.
Xiong Qi, who was charging over, struck with his spear. Bang! One of the mantises was immediately sent flying.
Spear shadows smashed repeatedly, and the eight mantises were instantly sent flying. Xiong Qi's cultivation was simply too high.
The golden silhouette took the opportunity to escape and immediately merged with Xiong Qi's body.
Yan Beihong, who was charging over from the sky, had bloodshot eyes. He wielded his saber with both hands and furiously slashed out thousands of saber shadows. The thousands of saber shadows merged into a blood-red saber shadow, slashing straight at Xiong Qi.
Xiong Qi was slightly startled. He swung his spear angrily at the sky.
Boom! A loud sound shook the heavens and earth. Yan Beihong was once again sent flying. Xiong Qi, who had been pushed back several meters, raised his head in shock. "Shadow Guard!"
Almost at the same time, Demon Monk Nan Bo's voice sounded from within his body. "Dodge, don't touch it!"
