Once the Four-winged Mantis made his move, the weather was frightening, and the demonic aura filled the space between heaven and earth. Even this stormy demonic sea was completely covered by the Four-winged Mantis' monstrous power. Instead, it was replaced by the Four-winged Mantis' monstrous killing intent and the omnipresent wind blades.
"It's still better than the worst-case scenario." Lu Xiaotian whispered to himself. In his worst-case scenario, he was already prepared to deal with both the Phantom Scorpion King and the Four-winged Mantis at the same time.
The Four-winged Mantis was also a cunning person. He knew that the Phantom Scorpion King would not easily make a move on either side unless the other party wanted to destroy the mission set by the Devil Monarch. Therefore, he lured Lu Xiaotian to make a move, leaving the Phantom Scorpion King with no other choice.
Both sides had their own plans. The Four-winged Mantis could not be said to have made a mistake. It was just that both sides had different plans. In this kind of situation where the conditions were similar, in terms of calculation, no one could gain too much advantage. Both sides tried to create a situation that was more beneficial to themselves. After all, those who could cultivate to this level were all old monsters who had lived for many years. It was difficult for them to make some low-level mistakes. In the end, the competition was still about the strength of both sides.
With his own strength, Lu Xiaotian naturally did not dare to have any ideas about the Four-winged Mantis. However, in the battle where he killed Chihiro Yeh's Lotus Avatar, Lu Xiaotian had indeed gained a lot, especially the two sets of formations, the God-Corroding Demon-Devouring Crossbow Formation and the Eight-Headed Astral Source Mountain Shaking Formation. It had a great effect on Lu Xiaotian's combat strength.
At this time, since he had already decided to make a move on the Four-winged Mantis, Lu Xiaotian did not hold back. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the void. Countless Sword Qi passed through and collided with the opponent's wind blades at an alarming rate. In terms of cultivation and spiritual power, the Four-winged Mantis was above Lu Xiaotian. However, its wind blades were originally invisible objects, while the Sword Qi was sent out by the Ethereal Flying Sword. Under the confrontation, the two sides were evenly matched.
The Sword Qi and countless wind blades disappeared one after another. At the same time, Lu Xiaotian directly extended his hand and threw out a formation flag. The formation flag fell from the void like a pillar of light, gathering countless resplendent starlight. Suddenly, the gray Demon Sea was illuminated with a dazzling radiance.
This demonic sea was filled with tornadoes and storms. For many years, there were no stars or moon, only storms that covered the sky and covered the sun. At this time, the appearance of the array flags directly changed the weather in this area. The pillar of stars rose from the sea, pierced through the clouds, and connected the heavens and the earth. After tearing through the clouds, one could faintly see that the starlight in the void was connected to this pillar of stars.
"Formation!" The Four-winged Mantis narrowed his eyes. He thought to himself, "No wonder this human brat dares to attack me at this time. He has another killing move." The formation was far from being completed, but the phenomenon caused by the formation flag alone was enough to shock the Four-winged Mantis. He wondered how powerful the formation would be once it was completed.
Soon, the Four-winged Mantis's killing intent grew stronger. The Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal had fallen into Lu Xiaotian's hands. Now, the Demon King valued Lu Xiaotian very much. If Lu Xiaotian really advanced to the late-stage of the Combination Realm, the Four-winged Mantis was afraid that he would have no hope. Just the scene before him was already like this. How terrible would it be in the future?
Although the formation in front of him was powerful, the Four-winged Mantis's eyesight could naturally see that it would take a certain amount of time for the formation to be completed. He was not an inanimate object that would watch the other party set up the formation.
The Four-winged Mantis crossed his sickle-like feet and slashed toward Lu Xiaotian with a cross-shaped blade. Wherever the cross-shaped blade passed, the void was almost cut into several disconnected parts.
Seeing the Four-winged Mantis's earth-shattering attack, Lu Xiaotian's Demon Qi soared to the sky behind him. The Demon Qi was much purer than the Four-winged Mantis's. It was incomparably complex, but it could be mixed together amazingly. The Four-winged Mantis and even Ban Qianren, who was hibernating on the side, had the illusion that they were facing thousands of monsters at the same time.
In the early years, when Lu Xiaotian fought with the Phantom Scorpion King, he had also seen Lu Xiaotian use such a heaven-defying magic. But now, his momentum was much more powerful.
Just as Ban Qianren was stunned, from the bloody light behind Lu Xiaotian, a monster with a crocodile head, wolf feet, sturdy body, and profound scales roared out. Its high-pitched roar directly shattered the wind blades within a radius of hundreds of miles.
This strange blood-red beast was a fusion of the soul of a late Combination Stage Profound Armored Sturgeon and the soul of an early Combination Stage Monster Wolf.
The soul of the late Combination Stage Profound Armored Sturgeon was also obtained after killing Chihiro Yeh's Lotus Avatar. There was also another Flame-Tailed Kite of the same level, which was also one of Lu Xiaotian's trump cards.
The Four-winged Mantis's strength was obviously above the Phantom Scorpion King's. As soon as it attacked, Lu Xiaotian also felt a great pressure. Facing such a powerhouse, Lu Xiaotian naturally did not dare to hold back much. He directly used the soul of the strongest monster he had fused. As for the Flame-Tailed Kite, although its power was also unparalleled, it was still slightly inferior in terms of attack and defense. Its advantage was that it was faster.
At this moment, it was obviously inferior to the Four-winged Mantis in terms of speed. Once the Eight Point Astral Source Mountain Shaking Formation was activated, there was no turning back. Eight Point Astral Sources were refined into one. Even if one gave up halfway, the eight Point Astral Sources would be burned to ashes and could not be used again. For Lu Xiaotian, who was about to enter the Nether Devil Corpse Burial Ground, there was no time to refine another eight Point Astral Sources.
To be precise, the monster in front of him was a Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile. It was the crystallization of Lu Xiaotian's soul fusion and soul tempering techniques. It was also the peak state that Lu Xiaotian could display at this time. As for the soul fusion of the ninth level, although it was also extremely difficult, the soul fusion of a low-grade monster's soul could not be compared to the soul fusion of a late Combination Stage monster.
As soon as the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile appeared, it almost pushed back the Four-winged Mantis's unparalleled momentum. The Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile swung its thick and long tail, and the crimson Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile was knocked back several meters by the cross blade. However, the cross blade was also destroyed by the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile's tail.
Seeing the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile appear, the Four-winged Mantis's expression changed again. A mere mid-Body Integration Stage cultivator was unexpectedly able to cultivate such a powerful ability. Although the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile seemed to be lacking in stamina, it was no small matter to be able to block his attack for a short period of time. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian in front of him did not only rely on this ability.
The Four-winged Mantis suddenly leaped forward, but if one looked carefully, they would see that it was only a mantis-shaped green shadow that leaped out. The mantis-shaped green shadow quickly tangled with the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile. A mere shadow was naturally no match for the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile.
The Four-winged Mantis's scythe-like arms slashed forward in succession, and four or five shadows viciously pounced toward the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile from several directions at the same time.
Six mantis-shaped green shadows pounced toward the Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile at lightning speed, and their scythe-like forearms viciously slashed out.
The Profound Armored Sturgeon Wolf Crocodile became more and more ferocious as it fought, and it roared repeatedly as it engaged in a fierce battle with the six mantis-shaped green shadows. They fought from the void to the demon sea, and wherever they passed, the seawater would be split into two.
