The big mantis suddenly smashed down with its giant pincers, and with a loud "Boom!" sound, a large hole several feet deep was created directly on the ground, with dirt, dust, and gravel flying everywhere.
Song Xin flew out of the ground in a panic. The old mantis turned around instantly and locked his eyes on him. At the same time, Song Xin also raised his sword and slashed it at the mantis' head...
However, he miscalculated this time. The big mantis obviously guessed what Song Xin was thinking. He saw its wings flapping on its back, and Song Xin felt a strong wind coming from in front of him. He couldn't dodge, and was directly slapped on the chest by the giant wings.
"Poof" The diamond talisman on Song Xin's body instantly shattered into golden powder, and he was also injured and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Song!" Zhang Xiuyang couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw it. He whipped out a large iron rod as thick as his wrist and wanted to go up and help.
But Zhang Moyang held his shoulders and said, "Don't panic! I'll immobilize it while you wait for an opportunity to attack its eyes!"
When Zhang Moyang waited for the big mantis to turn around and look at Song Xin, he raised his arm and raised his palm to the empty spot, just like dead leaves falling on the calm water, stirring up wonderful ripples in the air there. When the ripples dissipated, he saw a picture The talisman floats in the air. Then his fingers formed various strange handprints, flicked quickly, and the talismans turned into streaks of light and flew towards the back of the giant mantis.
The big mantis only saw Song Xin, but did not notice Zhang Moyang.
"Smelly little..."
"Bah, bang, bang..." Before the big mantis could finish his words, he was hit by several talismans on his back, directly punching several holes in his wings, and a flame also burned on his back.
"Now is the opportunity!" Song Xin saw the big mantis struggling and ignored the tightness in his chest. He rolled forward and then jumped up high, swung the long sword in his right hand, and a sword energy of thunder pulled him like an arrow from the string, piercing the mouth of the big mantis; at the same time, two small flames popped up in his left hand, respectively. Attack the mantis's left and right eyes.
The numerous little eyes of the mantis were instantly locked on the fire, and it could feel that there was a chilling atmosphere hidden in this seemingly ordinary flame.
Ignoring the flames burning on its back, it flapped its wings desperately, and a strong wind rushed towards Song Xin's Heart Fire Seal and blew it away.
But Song Xin had already reached the old mantis at this time and stabbed his sword into the left eye of the old mantis. As the lightning flashed, there was a heart-shaking sound of explosion, and the old mantis stiffened, as if it was tightly strangled by an invisible rope. Then a smelly green juice spurted out from the hole in its eye.
The giant mantis howled angrily, twisting its body in pain and waving its huge pincers to beat him in an unorganized manner. At this moment, another iron rod flew over and plunged straight into the giant mantis's other eye.
Then three figures quickly retreated in different directions, surrounding the giant mantis in the middle.
"Ah! You people from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect don't follow the rules! Make a sneak attack!" The giant mantis howled miserably, with green juice still sputtering from the wounds on his eyes. He was obviously in extreme pain. Wherever the green sap fell, the vegetation instantly withered, thick smoke emitted, and a pungent sour smell filled the air.
Song Xin saw several holes burned into the long sword in his hand. He was shocked and felt very distressed at the same time. This was the sword given to him by Wei Tong...
"Hmph, do you abide by the rules of a duel between practitioners and transformed beasts? You arranged for your fellow disciples to lurk in secret, didn't you want to make a sneak attack?" Zhang Moyang retorted coldly.
"Yes, you said you wanted to eat Song Xin and turn it into a demon pill. If any practitioner saw what you did, they wouldn't ignore it!" Zhang Xiuyang said loudly.
"You're talking nonsense. When did I say I was going to eat him!" the old mantis roared angrily and kept waving his pincers.
"Second brother, get out!" Then he started calling his fellow apprentice nephew. But there were only angry echoes rushing back and forth in the valley, but no one responded.
"He won't come out." Zhang Moyang said coldly. After speaking, he flicked his arm and a human head fell to the ground.
"You...!" The giant mantis was speechless. This was the head of the pock-marked man who was secretly ambushing, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although it can no longer see, it has a keen sense of smell and can smell the smell of pockmarked faces.
Zhang Moyang smiled slightly, pinched a talisman with his fingers, flicked it forward slightly, sounded the talisman, and flew over like a ghost. At this time, the giant mantis couldn't see how many people were moving, and was still turning around in a panic, waving wildly with its large pincers.
All I heard was the snap of the talisman, which was gently attached to the mantis's back. The big mantis noticed something strange, roared, and crawled towards Zhang Moyang, waving its giant pincers to crush him into a pulp.
Before it had taken a few steps, the talisman on its back began to spurt out viscous liquid like a spring, and finally the entire body of the giant mantis was wrapped in this liquid.
Only then did Zhang Moyang calmly say one word, "Condensation!"
In one breath, the giant mantis' body was covered in silvery white, and its movement suddenly stopped. In one breath, the huge monster was frozen into an ice sculpture!
"What a powerful talisman!" Song Xin was shocked. Zhang Moyang could freeze a monster that he couldn't defeat even with a single talisman.
"Song Xin, this won't keep it trapped for long, kill it quickly!" Zhang Xiuyang reminded through a message.
Song Xin jumped up high without hesitation. At the same time, in the sunlight when he raised his head, a black shadow slashed down with a sword...
A mantis head rolled down, and the splash of green juice burned the path it passed, creating a trail of white smoke. Then its huge body crashed to the ground and turned into a pile of broken ice. His limbs seemed to be still responding, and after a few fluttering kicks, they slowly lost their vitality.
Song Xin landed and saw that the powerful enemy was dead, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Xin could feel a ball of pure white light flying out from the head of the old mantis. Under the record of the mantis monster in "The Record of Ten Thousand Lives", there was a ball of pure white flame. It is the Yuanling obtained by Wan Sheng Lu after killing the monster.
However, Song Xin did not dare to immediately try to touch it with spiritual energy. If it turned into the old man's zongzi-headed look, he was scared just thinking about it...
"Thank you both for your help." He clasped his fists at Zhang Moyang and thanked them.
He also noticed that Zhang Xiuyang and Zhang Moyang didn't seem to see the white light spot.
"If this mantis beast doesn't transform into its original form, we won't be able to take action. But fortunately, you angered it. As long as it transforms into a monster, we don't have to deal with it according to the rules of practitioners."
Zhang Moyang didn't hide anything and said frankly: "To be honest with Brother Song, we were watching the surroundings secretly. We didn't show up to help at first. I hope Brother Song won't take offense."
Song Xin had no intention of blaming him at this time. After all, they have just met each other, and even if the other party does not take action, he cannot force the other party to help. Moreover, these two people had saved him once before and helped him kill the Zong Zitou who was secretly waiting for an opportunity to take action.
"It's rare that you two are willing to help me. Song Xin wouldn't dare to ask for anything more."
"Song Xin, go and dig out the demon elixir from this strange beast. It will lose its effectiveness after a long time!" Xiaoyu reminded at this time.
"Demon pill?" Song Xin hurriedly looked at the pile of broken ice on the ground.
Zhang Moyang looked at Song Xin and seemed to understand something. He walked slowly to the broken ice, stretched out his hand and bent down to pick it up, and saw another brown ball the size of a grape in his hand.
"Demon pill!" Zhang Xiuyang shouted excitedly.
Zhang Moyang smiled slightly, took out a small wooden box, put the demon pill in it, sealed it, and threw it directly to Song Xin. "Brother Song, continue."
"Song Xin, take it, it will be useful in the future!" Xiaoyu reminded again.
"Brother Zhang, what does this mean?" Song Xin took the demon pill and asked, "If you two didn't help me, I, Song Xin, might have died here. You should take this demon pill."
Zhang Moyang said: "You deserve this. You killed it in a fair fight. No one can say anything."
"If it weren't for you two, Song Xin would definitely have died here today, and why would we be talking about the demon pill? I think it's better for you to take the demon pill."
Zhang Xiuyang said with a smile at this time: "You have a fair fight with it, we are just watching the battle, and no one is helping you."
Song Xin was startled and didn't understand what Zhang Xiuyang and the others meant.
"Brother Song doesn't know the rules for practitioners to compete with transformed beasts. If Guangfutang makes trouble for you in the future, just say that this old mantis wants to eat you and seize the opportunity, and you have to kill him in order to protect yourself. . If we help you bear witness, they will be afraid. If they really dare to disobey the rules, all practitioners will be enemies of them." Zhang Moyang said.
"But if we take the demon pill, people will think that the Five Pecks of Rice Sect has benefited from it, and we can't bear witness. Moreover, we don't want to start a war with Guangfutang." Zhang Xiuyang said.
Song Xin understood their positions. After all, they all met by chance, and no one would compromise their sect's interests for someone they just met. If it is not handled properly, the two sects will start a war and countless disciples will die. ""
"Okay, you two didn't take action, just watched the battle. Anyway, there are only three of us here. No one will know the details if we don't tell them."
Zhang Moyang saw that he understood what he meant, nodded and said: "This demon pill can absorb its essence during practice, but most people still use it to make pills or dissolve it into spiritual weapons."
"Smelted into a spiritual weapon?" When Song Xin heard this, his heart moved. He looked at the burnt and mottled long sword in his hand, which could no longer be used. This made him feel heartbroken.
Zhang Moyang saw that Song Xin cherished his long sword and asked curiously: "Brother Song, this is just an ordinary mortal weapon. Why do you look so sorry? If you are short of weapons, I will give you one."
"I still have weapons. This sword was given to me by one of my respected eldest brothers. Now it has been damaged like this, so I feel sorry for it." Song Xin sighed.
"I see. This kind of sword made of ordinary iron is not difficult to repair, so there is no need to worry about it. In the future, I will find a forger and go to the fairy city to melt the demon pill into it and turn it into a spiritual weapon."
"Really? Can it be turned into a spiritual weapon?" Song Xin couldn't help but feel extremely happy when he heard this, and he had hope in his heart. If this is really possible, then the power of his sword energy can reach another level!
The corpse of the giant mantis was too big to fit in his storage ring, so he simply took some hard shells that could be made into armor and kept them, and simply burned the rest to ashes.
After sorting things out carefully with Zhang Moyang and the others, the three of them hit the road as agreed to visit Jiangnan.
