“Very strong, I'm afraid it has already surpassed the peak Saint Master level and stepped into the realm of half-step Venerable.”
The Alien Demon Shadow King is merely the body of some fallen strong practitioners from a past life, lacking its own consciousness and any distinction in cultivation. This Flying Mantis Demon Lord should have been at the peak Saint Master level when it fell in the past, but after countless years being tainted by the corpses of the dark clan, the dark power within it has become extremely evil. Its cultivation has not changed, but in terms of battle power, it has likely approached the half-step Venerable level.
“Fortunately, I have the power of space, as well as the power of thunder, which can at least suppress it slightly.”
The Sky Thunder Sword Domain was activated to the limit, and the immense sword pressure made the space of the Sword Tomb even more solid. The movements of the Alien Demon Shadow King’s forelegs gradually became laborious, slowing down compared to before.
Whoosh! At this moment, Qingqiu Ziyi and You Qianxue also took action. Their attacks landed on this Flying Mantis, instantly causing its speed to slow down.
Boom! However, the aura of the Alien Demon Shadow King connected with the dark clan's demon corpses underground, rumbling, and the entire mountain seemed to tremble, erupting with a thunderous roar.
“Break for me!”
The green demon sword was replaced with the mysterious rust sword, and Qin Chen slashed diagonally with a sword.
The mysterious rust sword, after appearing in Qin Chen's hands, erupted with an overwhelming sword energy. Boom! A cold power surged wildly within the mysterious rust sword, transforming into pitch-black and cold sword light that shot out. With a puff, the sword energy released by the mysterious rust sword corroded one of the forelegs of the Flying Mantis Demon Lord, shattering it.
Buzz! At this moment, the Flying Mantis Demon Lord also went berserk. The several thin wings on its back suddenly produced a loud vibration, followed by a black thread that flew towards him.
“Not good!”
The speed of the black thread was too fast. Qin Chen could not completely dodge it; it cut into his left arm, and instantly, blood gushed from his left arm. This black thread nearly severed Qin Chen's left arm, but it was held back by the terrifying and strange black power absorbed from his ancient body.
“So powerful, this black thread actually carries extremely sharp dark power.”
Qin Chen gasped. Ordinary dark power could not harm him, but the attack from this Flying Mantis contained highly concentrated dark power, which nearly caused him significant injury. This type of power could even cut through space. If Qin Chen had not broken through to the late Saint Master and absorbed the Chaos Demon Crystal before setting out, this strike would likely have severely wounded him.
Hiss, hiss, hiss! The ancient body surged, and Qin Chen's injured left arm quickly healed.
“Chen!”
You Qianxue rushed up, shouting angrily, as the Nine Extremities Water swirled around her. It quickly wrapped around the Alien Demon Shadow King.
“Be careful, Qianxue.” Qin Chen shouted urgently. The Flying Mantis Demon Lord was bound by the Nine Extremities Water and immediately began to struggle angrily. Boom, boom, boom! Waves of black magic light surged out, shooting towards You Qianxue.
Clang, clang, clang! You Qianxue drew her sword and quickly blocked countless streams of black light. These black streams contained extremely terrifying dark power, attempting to invade You Qianxue’s body. At a critical moment, the supreme power within You Qianxue surged wildly, repelling this dark power.
“I’ll do it!” At the same time, Qingqiu Ziyi called out softly. Buzz! Endless allure surged in her pupils, momentarily confusing the Flying Mantis Demon Lord. Its chaotic will became dizzy, and in the next moment, Qingqiu Ziyi's slender hand pressed against the body of the Flying Mantis Demon Lord.
Puff! The power of the demon surged, and the Flying Mantis Demon Lord was instantly blasted open, revealing the writhing, terrifying dark aura.
