84: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind
Bang!
With a single claw strike, Jade Faced Fox Lady instantly dissolved into a mist of blood.
Within the blood mist, a pristine white demon saint egg floated.
"Such terrifying control..."
"He killed the enemy without harming the demon saint egg in the slightest..."
Yuan Lian Avatar gazed at the blood mist floating in the Void Realm, his expression grave.
He was confident that if he were in her position, he probably wouldn't last three moves.
Beside him, Yuan Ci Avatar quietly pulled out a green-skinned gourd, collecting the Qi and blood, astonishing Yuan Lian Avatar.
"What Heaven bestows, if not taken, will surely bring calamity.
At this chaotic time, it's the perfect moment to secretly collect the essence blood of demons..."
Yuan Lian Avatar wanted to refuse.
But then he remembered that Yuan Ci Avatar and he came from the same source, and Yuan Ci Avatar would never do anything without certainty, so he must have some prudence.
He could only nod.
"Be more discreet..."
With that, Yuan Lian Avatar cast a spell, and a layer of emerald green phantom covered his body.
Immediately after, he pulled out his green-skinned gourd and began to absorb the essence souls of the demons.
On the other side, the struggle for the demon saint egg was also becoming white-hot.
The demon saint egg, originally in the blood mist, was swept up by a Xuan Gui (Mysterious Turtle) as massive as a mountain, and tucked under its belly with a flick of its tail.
Several great Demon Kings transmitted their power across the air, and several True Core Realm demons, possessing the bodies of Cultivators, surged with black Qi, their aura soaring.
Working together, they actually managed to block Shi Tian Demon King.
The mountain-like giant turtle rolled with black Qi, its enormous body directly slamming into the cage.
Bang, bang, bang!
In just a few breaths, countless cracks appeared.
Seeing this, Shi Tian Demon King's eyes were about to split: "Baman, do you really want to fight me to the death!"
The Mountain Sea Turtle phantom, however, remained silent, letting out a cold laugh.
At this moment.
Bang!
With the final impact, the enormous Xuan Guang (Mysterious Light) cage shattered, scattering into countless specks of light.
"Haha, it's done!"
"Once we leave Suspended Mountain, even that burrowing rat won't be able to do anything to us!"
Suddenly, an anomaly occurred in the Void Realm.
A flash of talisman light, and a large green handprint appeared out of thin air, piercing through the Xuan Gui (Mysterious Turtle)'s shell and extracting a blood-stained egg from its belly.
Carefree Scholar Guan Ping swiped his palm, and the demon saint egg landed in his hand.
He stood remotely in the Void Realm, confronting the entire scene with cold eyes.
Immediately, the various Demon Kings were filled with shock and rage.
"Human Race Cultivator!"
"Seeking death! Hand over the sacred egg at once!"
"Otherwise, we will surely flay you, dismember your bones, and burn your soul as a sky lantern!"
Beside them, Shi Tian Demon King also frowned, then smiled and said, "Nephew, thanks to you.
Otherwise, today I might have really fallen into a trap.
It's dangerous outside, so it's better to let this venerable one keep the sacred egg for safekeeping."
Guan Ping, however, sneered, not moving, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Shi Tian Demon King, my Master sent me to help you set up the blood sacrifice array.
Now, it's time to collect the reward."
After speaking, a yellow talisman paper was torn and spontaneously combusted in mid-air.
Guan Ping's figure gradually became ethereal.
"Ancient Boundary-Breaking Talisman! Such a thing actually exists!"
A demon recognized the origin of the talisman paper.
A phantom light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, Guan Ping vanished from his original spot.
The demons were dumbfounded.
They had been fighting for so long, only to let a Human Race Cultivator reap the benefits.
Outside Suspended Mountain.
A spatial fluctuation, and a figure stumbled out of it.
Guan Ping's gaze swept around, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Haha, Master's calculations were indeed brilliant, it actually worked..."
At this moment, black clouds rolled above the Void Realm, and the sky grew dim.
A pitch-black Xuan Gui (Mysterious Turtle) appeared in the Void Realm.
Its aura was terrifying, far surpassing True Core Realm demons.
The Demon King Dharma Idol floated around its body.
It was none other than the great Demon King Mountain Sea Turtle.
"Haha, it was worth the loss of Lifespan, I truly pinpointed your teleportation landing spot, you little thief."
Whoosh!
The mountain-like turtle claw descended, and the terrifying pressure almost caused the Void Realm to collapse.
"Master, save me!"
Guan Ping was filled with shock and rage.
A folded paper emerged from his chest, transforming into a blue-robed paper figure as it unfolded.
Its appearance was refined, dressed in a Daoist robe.
It was precisely Duke Zhang Liang.
He flicked the horsetail whisk he held, and it transformed into a phantom of a green mountain peak, forcefully withstanding the blow.
"Origami secret art, using it as an Incarnation... I never thought that even now, someone would still know such a secret art..."
A hint of apprehension appeared in the eyes of the Mountain Sea Turtle Dharma Idol.
The Zhang Liang before him was clearly an Incarnation.
Yet his strength far surpassed the True Core Realm.
'Indeed, that ruined grotto-heaven must have been obtained by him...'
On the opposite side, Zhang Liang merely smiled faintly, retracting his horsetail whisk: "Mountain Sea Demon King, a great demon of this era.
Why bully the younger generation by using your superior power?
This sacred egg is fated with me.
I ask Demon King to part with it."
"Nonsense! How can a demon saint's bloodline fall into the hands of the Human Race?
Hand it over quickly, otherwise, one day I will lead a million demon soldiers to break through Great Shang."
"Oh, then it seems there's nothing to discuss..."
The paper figure Zhang Liang's eyes sharpened, and his horsetail whisk danced, forming countless afterimages that firmly entangled the giant turtle.
Clatter!
The turtle's head reared, and a sharp shriek spread, instantly snapping countless threads.
Soon, the man and the turtle each employed their methods, causing the Void Realm to shake and the earth to tremble.
"Guan Ping, leave quickly.
Your Master will arrive shortly..."
"Yes."
Guan Ping's feet glowed with a mysterious escape light, shooting off into the distance.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he finally stopped.
"This trip, fortunately, Master's Incarnation was with me, otherwise... it would have been difficult..."
Guan Ping had just caught his breath.
Suddenly, a wave of fear surged in his heart.
He flicked his sleeve, and a silver-white round shield blocked in front of him.
Whoosh!
A faint light swept past, and the silver-white round shield emitted a sizzling corrosive sound.
A few splashes of faint light hit his mind, and Guan Ping felt his head splitting.
In the ethereal, he saw a giant golden fist smashing towards him from afar.
"Summon God!"
Guan Ping roared suddenly, forming hand seals, his body swelling, and a phantom of a giant spirit appeared on him.
His hammer-like palms crossed, blocking in front of him.
Fist met palm.
Guan Ping was filled with shock and rage.
The force transmitted from it was like a vast, continuous ocean.
Just one punch caused the giant spirit he had summoned to show signs of collapsing.
"Your Excellency, who are you?
To actually launch a sneak attack..."
Guan Ping pulled away, finally seeing the person opposite him.
He was about ten zhang tall, glowing with golden light all over, with an Asura Dharma Body covered in scales appearing on his skin, surrounded by various demon phantoms.
"This... Buddhism... Demonic Path... Daoism... How can there be such an evil cultivation method..."
Guan Ping was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe his eyes.
The person before him had actually fused three different faction's Body Refining techniques into one.
If he were to cultivate it, he feared he would turn into a monster on the very first day.
Gu Changsheng did not answer, his fists and feet striking continuously, his attacks like a breached river, relentless.
After three breaths.
The giant spirit phantom on Guan Ping let out a mournful cry, shattered, and disappeared.
Bang!
A punch blasted out, instantly piercing through Guan Ping's chest.
Almost half of his body was blown apart.
A talisman paper quietly spontaneously combusted.
Gu Changsheng looked towards the distant Void Realm, where a pale-faced figure appeared.
"Substitute Talisman, that Duke Zhang Liang is indeed exceptionally talented, to be able to refine such a thing.
However, such precious items...
How many more do you have?"
Guan Ping's face turned pale, and a mysterious light appeared under his feet; he immediately wanted to flee.
The next second, his eyes widened, only to see Gu Changsheng's feet emit a five-colored escape light, his speed far surpassing his own.
In just a few breaths, he was caught up to.
"You... let me go, otherwise, I will surely damage this egg!"
Guan Ping put on a brave front, holding up the giant egg with both hands.
"Is that so... what a pity..."
Gu Changsheng's expression darkened, and a sharp shriek escaped his throat.
Immediately, Guan Ping's mind went blank.
Secret Art: Night Frightening Spirit!
A punch blasted out, and Guan Ping's head instantly exploded.
The demon saint egg steadily fell into Gu Changsheng's hand.
He glanced at it, and said faintly: "Unfortunately, I dislike being threatened the most..."
