The blade part was not the only thing that made Blade Mantis looked different from the normal mantis. From the neck to the wings were made of silver steels, pretty hard to break from the look of it while the abdomen was normally green.
It did not take long before the Blade Mantis made its move first. The silver wing flapped and flew toward them. The Beast King did not fly above the tree, but below the sparse trees.
Without any chain of command, the Tarriors and slaves spread out. While the humans were splitting up, the Blade Mantis was not confused by them. The target was one, Tang Shaoyang who was in the front most.
Tang Shaoyang was standing still while Zhang Mengyao moved. She raised her shield and blocked the incoming blade.
Clank! Clank!
The two sharp blades clashed against the shield, causing a spark. The Blade Mantis did not give up, it sent out a barrage of slashes, but none of them could reach Zhang Mengyao. She read all movements and blocked the blade with the shield.
The Blade Mantis let out a small hiss from the mandibles, clearly unhappy all the blades were blocked.
Spurt!
The Beast King let out a spray of green acid. The thick green liquid let out smoke, ”Heh, I also have my skill!”
[Shield Wall]
Zhang Mengyao raised her shield toward the spray. The acid spray slid through the shield wall. The Beast King was about to make the next move, but he noticed two humans were charging in from the two sides.
Wei Xi and Lu An were aiming for the abdomen, the soft spot of the Blade Mantis. But then, silver steels from the wings spread out and covered the whole part of the mantis' body.
Clank! Clank!
Wei Xi's sword and Lu An's sword met with hard resistance instead of a soft abdomen. But of course, they did not want to give up just like that.
[Fatal Strike] [Elephantine Strike]
The swords left a trail of blood as the silver skin was cut. Wei Xi's sword left a deep cut as he immediately activated [Quick Slash] at the same spot.
The Blade Mantis hissed, flapping the silver wings to escape from the encirclement. But Tang Shaoyang acted faster, activating [Spirit Integration] and threw [Wild Axes]. The two axes made of mana pierced the chest area, causing The Blade Mantis to sway in the air
Swoosh!
The silver cracked along with the crystal-like head, sending the Blade Mantis down to the ground. Tang Shaoyang was not over with his attack, he raised his battle-ax and slammed it down to the Blade Mantis's thorax.
