CHAPTER 483: CHAPTER 451: GOLDEN-WINGED DEMON MANTIS

This Cyan Mountain Sect Leader, after delving into the demon beast group, not a single beast around him could get close; they were all slain three to four feet away.

Whether it was a Tier One Demon Beast or a Tier Two Demon Beast, it was the same.

To the extent that, in a very short time, Xu Qingci noticed, the number of demon beasts Lu Yuanshan had slain had exceeded thirty.

This number was equivalent to the total number of beasts slain by her, Xu Shouye, Lu Zhiwei, and Han Youdao combined.

It’s just one person, yet possesses such formidable strength, with extraordinary battle results!

How much strength is this Cyan Mountain Sect Leader still hiding?

Xu Qingci’s beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of surprise as she looked at Lu Yuanshan.

"Although the Red Flame Celestial Sword assists in defense, it’s more stable facing the surrounding demon beast attacks."

Seeing Lu Yuanshan reaping battle merit points in the demon beast group, Lu Ping slightly reminded him.

After all, the number of demon beasts around was really too great.

Inevitably, there would be moments when even the nine Red Flame Celestial Swords could not simultaneously shield Lu Yuanshan.

Hearing Lu Ping’s reminder, Lu Yuanshan also believed that he couldn’t be careless.

"Father’s words are not wrong."

Lu Yuanshan responded.

While continuing to use the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to launch big moves and using the One-Line Heaven technique to slay the surrounding demon beasts, he also summoned the Jade Water Spiritual Shield to hover above his head.

Facing numerous demon beast attacks, the Jade Water Spiritual Shield would occasionally cast a layer of azure spiritual shield downwards, enveloping Lu Yuanshan and reinforcing his defense.

As for the nine Red Flame Celestial Swords, their power was definitely not weak.

When there were no demon beast attacks, the nine Red Flame Celestial Swords acted as if they had spirituality, each striking the nearby demon beasts.

Puff, puff, puff, puff.

A Red Flame Celestial Sword slashed towards a Tier One Demon Beast, naturally with great ease, slicing the beast in two as if cutting through tofu.

Moreover, the other eight Red Flame Celestial Swords also displayed their might, each slaying a Tier One Demon Beast with a single strike.

For slightly stronger Tier Two Demon Beasts, like the late-stage ones, the Red Flame Celestial Swords, due to insufficient power, couldn’t achieve a quick kill.

However, this was not an issue.

What the Red Flame Celestial Swords couldn’t do, Lu Yuanshan could.

Under the effect of [Three is- Longevity of Power], Lu Yuanshan, having fought till now, did not feel any fatigue, nor did he sense the slightest magical power consumption.

Facing the surrounding Tier Two Demon Beasts, Lu Yuanshan directly used the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, cooperating with the Taihe Cave Heaven Heart Method, deploying the strongest sword technique he had mastered, Heaven Opening.

The power of such a sword move was even more formidable than the One-Line Heaven technique, being more than twice its strength.

Facing Lu Yuanshan’s powerful sword move, the Tier Two Demon Beasts present could not withstand it.

Just at face-off, they were slain by Lu Yuanshan with a single sword.

Roar!

Just as he finished slaying a Tier Two Demon Beast, on Lu Yuanshan’s right side, a demon insect with golden wings launched a fierce onslaught toward him.

This demon insect, named Golden-winged Demon Mantis, is a type of demon insect, like the Nine Poison Miasma Cloud Bee, both becoming Tier Two Demon Beasts after maturing.

Although the Golden-winged Demon Mantis has no poison, its terror surpasses the Nine Poison Miasma Cloud Bee significantly.

Its size is as large as half a human, and its pair of golden mantis arms resemble two sharp scimitars, appearing golden.

The toughness of these mantis arms is comparable to a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact.

With a swoosh, they can easily break through any defensive magical artifact below Tier Three.

Among the Southern Wilderness Demon Beasts, the attack power of the Golden-winged Demon Mantis is renowned, being a kind of demon insect that many cultivators are unwilling to face.

Whoosh!

Facing the attack from the Golden-winged Demon Mantis, Lu Yuanshan did not choose to confront directly but instead deftly used the Wind Thunder Wings, swiftly ascending to dodge its attack.

The strike of the Golden-winged Demon Mantis missed Lu Yuanshan, but its pair of mantis arms, gleaming with a sharp cold light, with a "whoosh" sound, sliced into a bear demon that failed to dodge in time, cutting it in half.

"Retreat quickly, there are more than ten Golden-winged Demon Mantises over there!"

An exclamation rang out, everyone recognized it as Han Youdao’s voice.

After elevating his form, Lu Yuanshan scanned around and soon saw a group of thirteen Golden-winged Demon Mantises hovering above the demon beast crowd.

Buzzing.

A dozen or so Golden-winged Demon Mantises rapidly flapped their wings, forming a small insect swarm, charging towards Xu Qingci.

The Cold Moon Palace disciples present, many of whom noticed the situation on the battlefield, were observing Xu Qingci’s movements.

"Sect Leader, Demon Insects!"

Upon seeing this group of Golden-winged Demon Mantises swarm towards Xu Qingci, a Cold Moon Palace disciple immediately called out, his voice loud and clear.

The cultivators near the Golden-winged Demon Mantis, upon sighting the group, displayed deep fear and hastily withdrew to distance themselves from them.

Hearing the reminder of the disciple, Xu Qingci’s brows frowned slightly, but she quickly noticed the movements of the Golden-winged Demon Mantises.

She remained calm, retracting the Cold Moon Spirit Wheel back to her front.

Her jade hand brushed over the storage bag, summoning a silver-white magical artifact, and upon the infusion of magical power, it unfolded into a circular Spirit Shield enveloping her.

This is a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Once deployed, the two leading Golden-winged Demon Mantises swung their golden mantis arms viciously towards Xu Qingci.

The swinging mantis arms emitted a clear piercing sound in the air.

With a "clang," the area of the Spirit Shield they struck exploded with intense magical power fluctuations, as if a Fire Thunder had exploded.

Relying on this Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, Xu Qingci easily withstood the attack from the two Golden-winged Demon Mantises.

But before she could make the next move, the other Golden-winged Demon Mantises had already reached her surroundings, also swinging their mantis arms fiercely at her.

In no time, Xu Qingci became the focus of the attack from this group of Golden-winged Demon Mantises.

Dense and continuous attacks slammed onto the Spirit Shield with loud bangs.

Xu Qingci’s figure was enveloped by more than ten Golden-winged Demon Mantises.

"Not good, the Sect Leader is in trouble!"

Seeing Xu Qingci surrounded by the group of Golden-winged Demon Mantises, becoming the target of their attacks, the leading Cold Moon Palace disciple’s face changed, wanting to assist their Sect Leader.

However, due to maintaining the Demon-locking Array, their abilities were limited, unable to contend with the Tier Two Golden-winged Demon Mantises.

Even if they launched an attack, with Qi Cultivation Level power, it would merely be a tickle for these demon insects.

"Can’t care about so much, the Sect Leader cannot fall here."

Another Cold Moon Palace disciple spoke, his face full of urgency.
