(I have some trivial matters to deal with these two days, so I won't be able to update today. If I have time tomorrow, I will try to make it up. The time is uncertain, but I won't go back on my word. Please forgive me.)
A claw came down ferociously from above, and a sickle slashed out like lightning. The claw was like a knife cutting through tofu, and it was directly split apart.
Whether it was in terms of hardness or sharpness, the claws were no match for the scythes. The Heart-Devouring Bat and the tiny mantids passed each other in an instant. The Heart-Devouring Bat continued to charge forward, its body stiffening. It was gradually covered in white frost as it fell towards the surface of the sea.
This was the moment when the formation of over a thousand Heart-Devouring Bats and thirty-five tiny mantids collided. The first Heart-Devouring Bat and the first tiny mantids clashed. In an instant, the outcome of the battle was decided.
The tiny mantid that made the first move, after a single strike, instantly went up against the second bat. Its scythe struck out again like lightning, slicing through the bat's wing as easily as a knife cutting through tofu. The second bat fell to the ground with its wings slanted.
At the same time, the thirty-five tiny mantids had already charged into the swarm of bats and started a massacre.
The crab-sized mantids were about the same size as the Heart-Devouring Bat, but the reach of their forelimbs was longer than the Heart-Devouring Bat. They also had more limbs that could attack and were sharper than the Heart-Devouring Bat.
It was still the first tiny mantis, but it had already killed more than ten Heart-Devouring Bats in an instant.
A Heart-Devouring Bat's sharp horn came crashing over, and the sickle shot out like lightning, directly cleaving the other party's sharp horn in half. It would be clear who was sharper after a fight.
Another Heart-Devouring Bat charged at him with its sharp horn, and the scythe shot out again, piercing through the Heart-Devouring Bat's eye socket and splitting open half of its face. The scythe passed through the Heart-Devouring Bat's abdomen, but another Heart-Devouring Bat caught it with its wings and bit it with its sharp teeth.
The two tiny mantids that were falling from the sky had a pair of sickles placed in the mouth of the Heart-Devouring Bat. The Heart-Devouring Bat gnawed on the sickles a few times, but it didn't even leave a scratch on the sickles. Its hind claws even scratched the abdomen of the tiny mantids, producing a metallic creaking sound.
The body of the Heart-Devouring Bat that was hugging it was pierced through by four sharp appendages. Its body was quickly covered in white frost.
Puff! The tiny mantids immediately dismembered the Heart-Devouring Bats that were binding them. They flapped their wings and soared into the sky once more, continuing their battle with the flock of Heart-Devouring Bats.
Although there were many Heart-Devouring Bats, they were no match for the tiny mantids. The tiny mantids weren't even afraid of the Heart-Devouring Bats' venom, nor were they afraid of the large number of opponents.
In the blink of an eye, the tiny mantids in the midst of the Piercing Bats had already killed more than two hundred Heart-Devouring Bats. One by one, the Heart-Devouring Bats fell from the sky. It was simply falling down in a flurry.
"What is that?" Gu Sanzheng looked at Tan Lao and asked in astonishment, "Is that a mantis? What kind of mantis is it? "
"I've never seen such a mantis before either!" Witnessing his Heart-Devouring Bat being killed in an instant, Tan Lao's expression twitched. "I didn't expect Miao Yi to be a kindred spirit. He knows how to tame beasts as well. It seems like the Seeker Bird was killed by these mantises."
He immediately pursed his lips and let out a shrill whistle.
The swarm of bats, whose formation had already been disrupted by the tiny mantids, immediately circled around the tiny mantids. They didn't want to tangle with the tiny mantids. Their goal was to keep Miao Yi and the others busy, and so was the value of their sacrifice.
From time to time, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei turned to look at Miao Yi in surprise. The latter clicked his tongue and said, "Amazing. Where did you get these little guys from?"
Miao Yi was just as surprised as Sikong Wuwei. How could he be in the mood to chat with Sikong Wuwei? He realized that he had underestimated the strength of the tiny mantids and immediately relaxed. Using his will, he controlled the tiny mantids to return and kill the swarm of bats chasing after them.
At the moment, the tiny mantids were still unable to fight against cultivators. If they returned to Gu Sanzheng and the others, they would be dead meat. They would be dead meat.
The tiny mantids immediately chased after them, charging into the swarm of bats and slaughtering them in a frenzy. One of the tiny mantids leaped onto the back of a Heart-Devouring Bat and stabbed its scythe into the back of its head. Then, it immediately flapped its wings and pounced on another Heart-Devouring Bat.
Miao Yi and the others were frantically running on the surface of the sea, while the swarm of bats was quickly closing in on them. Meanwhile, the tiny mantids were slaughtering their way to the front of the swarm of bats, preventing them from getting close to Miao Yi and the others.
As the swarm of bats flew over, they kept dropping one after another. As they neared Miao Yi and the others, they began to circle around them and attack. Only a dozen or so Heart-Devouring Bats remained out of the thousand or so Miao Yi and the others. The tiny mantids quickly killed them.
A Heart-Devouring Bat shot towards Miao Yi's face, and a tiny mantid intercepted it. It was only a dozen or so meters away from Miao Yi. With a swing of its scythe, the tiny mantids beheaded the bat.
In just a short distance of two thousand meters, the thousand or so Heart-Devouring Bats had all been wiped out by the tiny mantids.
None of the thirty-five tiny mantids were harmed. They all landed on Miao Yi's shoulder and allowed him to inspect them.
Seeing that not a single one was missing, Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. After all, there would be one less of these things to sacrifice. He could clearly sense that the little ones had grown up quite a bit and were much stronger than before.
"Tsk tsk! What a good thing! " Sikong Wuwei exclaimed in admiration. He seemed to have thought of something as he turned around and shouted, "The School of Imperial Beasts is only so-so after all!"
Tan Lao had his transcendence vision open and was already feeling the pinch after witnessing the death of over a thousand Heart-Devouring Bats. When he heard Sikong Wuwei's words, his embarrassment turned into rage. However, there was nothing he could do.
He still had some usable items in his beast sack, but they were either lacking in speed, or they wouldn't be of much use at sea. He could try them out on land, though. Otherwise, he would be a fool to throw them out even if he knew they wouldn't be of any use even if he died. He immediately cursed, "Cowardly bandits who only know how to spout nonsense. If you have the guts, stop running and fight me to the death!"
"F * ck you! If you have the guts, catch up to me first! "Sikong Wuwei let out a maniacal laugh.
Tan Lao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He bellowed, "F * ck you!"
"F * ck you!" Sikong Wuwei retorted.
"I don't believe you can keep running for the rest of your life!" Tan Lao bellowed.
Sikong Wuwei turned around and cursed again, "F * ck you!"
Miao Yi rolled his eyes as he was being dragged along. "Can't you save some of your strength?"
Sikong Wuwei chuckled, "Those mantises of yours are pretty strong. Let them out and teach them a lesson. Make them shut their mouths."
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. The little ones could deal with the Heart-Devouring Bats and ambush them, but going against Gu Sanzheng and the others in broad daylight was suicide. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Continue cursing!"
The two parties continued to chase each other across the vast ocean. They ran from morning to afternoon, and then from afternoon to afternoon. Even as the sun was about to set, Sikong Wuwei was still cursing Tan Lao nonstop.
At this moment, they could see a piece of land appearing in the distance.
Sikong Wuwei finally stopped cursing and asked, "Should we continue running on the ocean, or should we go ashore?"
Zhao Fei said, "We'll circle around them. When it gets dark, it'll be hard for them to find us. Then, we'll slip into the ocean and escape."
Miao Yi nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the ocean.
The three of them still had no idea what was going on. Splash! Something as thick as a pillar and dragging a massive, indigo pincer along with it broke through the surface of the ocean. It was several dozen meters long, and with a splash of seawater, it came crashing down towards the three of them. Its aura was astonishing.
Sikong Wuwei let go of Miao Yi, and with a wave of his hand, a small hammer appeared in his hand. With a sudden burst of blue light, he tossed the large hammer out. His reaction speed wasn't slow at all.
Boom! The rings of armor that seemed to be some sort of tail were immediately smashed into pieces. It was instantly smashed in half.
The hammer that was sent flying fell back into Sikong Wuwei's hand. A pained and furious roar came from the depths of the ocean, causing huge waves to surge. Up ahead, strange tails similar to the one from before emerged one after another from the surface of the ocean. Sikong Wuwei had no idea what kind of monster they were.
Sikong Wuwei wanted to continue attacking, but when he turned around to look at Miao Yi chasing after them, he suddenly flashed the Mystic Yin Mirror and said, "Don't stop. Charge straight ahead and get ashore first. Leave these monsters for the people behind us to deal with. "
Zhao Fei quickly scanned his surroundings and saw that there weren't any obstructions along the way to the island. He said solemnly, "Why do I feel like these monsters are purposely trying to stop us from circling around them? Are they trying to force us onto land?"
"We don't have time to worry about that now," Miao Yi said anxiously.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei immediately dragged him towards the island.
Boom boom boom! One after another, the huge tails smashed down on them, causing huge waves to surge on the surface of the ocean and water to splash everywhere. Who knew what kind of monster was hiding beneath the ocean?
A huge tail came crashing down on them, and Sikong Wuwei's hammer smashed it into pieces. It had to be said that the Mountain Suppressing Hammer was still incredibly powerful when clashing head-on with something.
Meanwhile, the three of them had already passed through the strange things protruding from the surface of the ocean. They quickly waded through the water and made a few leaps. As soon as they landed on the beach, they quickly turned around and saw that Gu Sanzheng and the others had already caught up to them. The three of them quickly turned around and dashed into the forest ahead.
Having caught up to them, Gu Sanzheng and the others hurriedly stopped at the surface of the ocean, keeping their guard up against the strange tails.
They could also pass through as quickly as Miao Yi and the others did. However, they weren't as relaxed as Miao Yi and the others. They could just run away and be done with it. There was still a large group of their fellow disciples behind them. The three of them could easily pass through, but the others behind them might not be able to.
"Unsheathe!" Gu Sanzheng shouted. The Thunderclap Sword Furnace behind him immediately let out a rapid clanging sound. One hundred and one Thunderclap Flying Swords shot out like swimming dragons.
Amidst the clanging sounds, the clumsy tails protruding from the surface of the ocean were instantly chopped off. The might of the Thunderclap Flying Swords was indeed extraordinary.
A series of roars immediately came from beneath the ocean, as though there was an earthquake. Standing atop the waves, Tan Lao and Ye Xin quickly raised their guard against their surroundings.
Gu Sanzheng spread out his arms and dove into the ocean. When he opened his transcendence vision, he saw several giant creatures that resembled both a lobster and a scorpion. They looked frightening, waving their massive pincers as they floated up to the surface.
Gu Sanzheng also surfaced. When he saw the armored backs emerging from the ocean, he quickly formed a sword art with both hands. The Thunderclap Flying Swords that were circling in the air immediately shot down.
After a few rounds of slashing, the ocean was dyed red. The Thunderclap Flying Swords returned to the sword furnace behind Gu Sanzheng.
In just a few moments, he had already killed all the monsters that had just emerged from the ocean.
Seeing that the beheaded monsters were about to sink back to the bottom of the ocean, Ye Xin lashed out with her whip and forcefully pulled one over. She turned it over and over to examine it.
"Strange. For a monster to grow to such a size, even if it didn't become a Yao, it should at least possess some intelligence. How could it be killed so easily?" Tan Lao exclaimed. His gaze fell upon an old wound on the monster's abdomen. Clearly, it wasn't caused by Gu Sanzheng's flying swords.
He removed a piece of armor from his chest and casually tossed it out. With a flash of blue light, the armor immediately transformed into a jagged shield and sliced open the wound on the monster's abdomen.
