Chapter 1290 Using a borrowed knife to kill a demon!
"As expected of the Black-Armored Dragon Turtle Beast clan's clan-protecting divine technique, its power is indeed astonishing. At merely the resonance level, it blocked the Golden Mantis King's strike, which was powerful enough to split mountains and cleave the sky!"
Above the Divine River, amidst the sea of clouds, Xiao Chen was enveloped in blue demonic mist, his entire body bathed in divine light. As he watched the blue divine shell beneath his feet slowly dissipate, transforming into wisps of smoke that drifted across the sky, Xiao Chen's heart surged with emotion. The power of the Xuan Turtle Divine Armor Technique, revealed for the first time, far exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he was worried that the Xuan Turtle Divine Armor would not be able to withstand the Golden Mantis King's Golden Heavenly Blade, after all, he had only cultivated for a few hours and his understanding was not very deep.
Who would have thought that the divine armor was so incredibly tough that it actually fought to a standstill with the golden heavenly blade.
Xiao Chen was slightly excited. At just the resonance level, the power of the Xuan Turtle Divine Armor was already beginning to show, like a heavenly wall. If he were to cultivate it to a higher level, he dared not imagine how powerful it would become!
"Your Majesty, this man is extraordinary. Although he is young, his combat power is extremely heaven-defying. Why don't you join forces with the man in the blood robe?"
Above the sky, half of the Golden Mantis General's face was entangled with sword intent. Although the wound on his face was covered by a faint golden light, the flesh and blood continued to regenerate and recombine, emitting a clanging sound.
But whenever it tries to fully recover, it is annihilated by wisps of purple sword energy and collapses again.
This vicious cycle has repeated itself no less than a thousand times. Through hardship, the Golden Mantis General realized that Xiao Chen was extraordinary.
Adding to the fact that he had just made a devastating impact, he was already filled with fear. He used a secret technique to send a telepathic message to the Golden Mantis King, hoping that it would put aside its arrogance and join forces with Qin Tiangong.
"Join forces? I am the supreme Golden Mantis King. If word gets out that I have to join forces with a junior, how will I save face?"
The King Mantis's pupils flashed with crimson fire as it roared silently, striking the King Mantis with a telepathic attack.
In fact, the Golden Mantis King had already considered withdrawing and planned to stop fighting, shifting the conflict to Qin Tiangong, since he had a deeper hatred for Xiao Chen.
But with the Golden Mantis General's advice, the Golden Mantis King lost face.
The Golden Mantis King is inherently cruel, treacherous, and cunning. Over the years, it has used despicable and vicious schemes when facing powerful enemies.
However, he was extremely concerned about his image and refused to lose face in front of others.
Some things, once done, should never be spoken of; once spoken, the meaning changes.
The Golden Mantis General was stunned by the Golden Mantis King's telepathic message, his soul reeling. Yet, instead of being angry, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
It knew that its provocation had worked, and the Golden Mantis King was about to fight Xiao Chen to the death.
If the Golden Mantis King and Xiao Chen can ultimately fight to the death, the second lord of Golden Mantis Mountain might be able to drop the title of "secondary" and become the true king of Golden Mantis Mountain!
Mantis Yuan has been the second-ranked mountain master for 356 years.
Initially, it was quite satisfied with this position. After all, in the Golden Mantis Mountain, its status was second only to the Golden Mantis King, making it second only to one demon and above all others.
But gradually, its ambition grew, and it was no longer satisfied with the position of the second mountain lord. If it weren't for the Golden Mantis King's astonishing strength, it would have already taken its place.
Today, it came with the Golden Mantis King to capture Xiao Chen, thinking it would be a piece of cake. Who would have thought that although Xiao Chen's cultivation level was low, his combat power was extremely terrifying, giving it a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, it only wants to use Xiao Chen to weaken the Golden Mantis King in order to create an opportunity for rebellion!
Of course, given Xiao Chen's strength, it's unlikely he could completely eliminate the Golden Mantis King.
However, if it can be severely injured, it can seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and steal the spotlight, thus officially becoming the master of the Golden Mantis Mountain.
As expected, the ever-ambitious Golden Mantis King, fueled by the Golden Mantis Commander, shattered the sea of clouds and brandished its two golden forepaws, sharp as celestial blades, as it slashed at Xiao Chen.
The flashing blades were like a sea, engulfing heaven and earth.
Xiao Chen raised his sword to meet the attack, his robes fluttering, his demonic hair flying, and his whole body glowing as if under the blazing sun. Every inch of his flesh and blood shone brightly, illuminating all directions.
This time, he held back. A black demonic sea appeared behind him, summoning the Kunpeng. A terrifying behemoth rushed out from the seabed, seemingly carrying the waters of the Northern Sea. Its divine power was vast, stirring up nine layers of divine waves.
"This...is a Kunpeng?"
Above the sea of clouds, Qin Tiangong was startled and nearly fell from the sky.
Kunpeng!
It turned out to be the peerless Kunpeng, one of the Nine Fiends of antiquity.
The Qiankun Dynasty possesses a profound and ancient heritage, far more ancient and mysterious than the Great Xia Dynasty. Many legends of ancient ferocious beasts have long been lost in the Great Xia Dynasty, obscured by the dust of time, but in the Qiankun Dynasty, they continue to be passed down.
The Nine Primordial Fiends, the Supreme Ancestral Demons, each capable of slaying gods and demons, are invincible throughout the universe.
Qin Tiangong had read countless ancient books since childhood and had witnessed the legend of the Nine Fiends more than once.
Kunpeng, a divine bird born in the primordial era, has the body of a fish but wings growing on its back. With a flap of its wings, it can pierce through clouds and mist, tear through the void, and teleport thousands of miles in an instant. Its divine might is unparalleled, and gods and demons alike cannot defeat it. It has killed countless immortals and its ferocious reputation shakes the heavens.
Qin Tiangong had seen the Kunpeng Sacred Diagram many times. The divine sea beast that Xiao Chen summoned at this moment was definitely one of the legendary Nine Fiends, the Divine Sea Demon Lord, Kunpeng!
Qin Tiangong was extremely shocked. Looking at the terrifying divine fish with two wings on its back behind Xiao Chen, his eyes were filled with horror, as if he were in a ghost town.
At this moment, all of Qin Tiangong's contempt for Xiao Chen vanished instantly, replaced by endless shock and astonishment.
In the mortal world, there are actually people who can traverse the endless void, find the Kunpeng, resonate with it, and then manifest its divine power!
The next moment, the great battle began. The light of swords and blades thundered through the sky, shattering the sea of clouds and dyeing the entire sky gold and purple.
The resounding clang echoed endlessly, reverberating through the sky, causing the void to shatter, mountains to explode, the divine river to surge, and all demons to tremble in fear.
"What terrifying sword energy and blade light!"
"I can understand that the Golden Mantis King is a peerless demon lord and is powerful, but who is this white-robed youth who can fight him to a draw!"
"That's way too much!"
Several ferocious river beasts shrouded in demonic light lurked at the bottom of the water, their eyes glowing as they used terrifying pupil techniques to spy on the battle on the river surface. They watched with trepidation. One of the river beasts stared intently at Xiao Chen, who was frantically unleashing his sword intent high in the sky, shocked that he was so young yet already possessed such earth-shattering power!
"It's so much stronger than I expected?"
The Golden Mantis was stunned, so excited that his heart trembled.
It originally intended to use Xiao Chen to wear down the Golden Mantis King in order to inflict some damage on it, but it did not expect Xiao Chen to defeat it.
After all, the Golden Mantis King is an ancient monster that no young, inexperienced boy like Xiao Chen can contend with. It would be a pleasant surprise if he could at least wear it down. I never expected that Xiao Chen would be so fierce when he got serious!
Faced with Xiao Chen's storm of sword light, the Golden Mantis King was quite surprised. For a moment, he felt suffocated and had the thought of retreating.
But the great battle had already begun, and even if it wanted to retreat, Xiao Chen would not allow it.
