236 Everyone Is Here III (1/2)
The attack that followed was two-pronged, with one launched from directly above and one from the east beyond the horizon.
One attack belonged to a giant shadow of a man glowing brilliant gold. He was an armored deity twenty meters tall, wielding twin axes that seemed to cleave apart the sky. He descended from the heavens like a falling star, directly at Queen Sundew who was caught unprepared.
The mantis queen rapidly descended as well and retreated towards the east, in the direction of her lands, but that way was cut off. The second attack that came from behind belonged to a gorgeous half-naked goddess surrounded by a cloud of lotus petals. The air all around for ten kilometers calmed down and it was as if the battle suddenly was no more and everyone stopped fighting.
Queen Sundew could not completely resist this mental attack and its movements became sluggish. It could not dodge the golden avatar's attack and could only brace for impact.
Boom! Boom!
Twin axes slammed into insect carapace, completely shattering two out of six limbs.
The mantis queen shrieked in agony and retreated southward, towards the toad king and its subordinates. The golden warrior gave chase but before he could launch another attack, a huge lion paw swiped down from the sky. He Zicheng had joined the battle and the protective formation was abandoned and receding fast. He didn't want to lose this opportunity and sought to crush the oversized bug.
”Ahhhhh!”
With two claws gone, Queen Sundew could not defend properly. The lion's paw landed directly on its body. Its shell was smashed and green blood sprayed out everywhere from deep gouges.
”Humans!!!”
The queen's deafening screech that followed was defiant even though it was grievously wounded.
As it continued to flee, its body glowed a brilliant green. The horrible injuries transformed visibly. New shells grew to replace broken ones. A new pair of claws even grew out to replace the ones that were broken.
It was not fully healed although its spiritual aura was much weaker than before. It continued to flee and by now, Qu Shen and the martial monkey along with the toad king had all joined in the battle.
”Don't let it escape!” Immortal Solemn Duke Huang Wuji bellowed.
King Huo Tu and King Wu managed to reach Queen Sundew and flanked the mantis protectively on both sides. Together, they rapidly flew towards the east, towards the wilderness.
”After it, it's weak now. We can kill it!” He Zicheng yelled as well.
The two lords of Beast God Sanctum joined Huang Wuji and gave chase.
”So noisy!” Immortal Gentle Lotus Gong Liyun muttered indignantly.
She followed along but turned around briefly and made an enticing pose at the nine human Spirit Lords who were all completely astonished. She squeezed her ample breasts together, displaying her barely covered assets proudly for them to see. She even winked at them though it was unclear who she was winking to.
Chen Wentian knew exactly who she was winking to, him. He shuddered as a chill swept over his body. His balls retreated into his body and his little dragon shriveled into a tiny lizard. This old woman was dangerous as always and her interest in him was just as great as before.
”You all, don't let the beast lieutenants escape so easily!” He Zicheng's voice drifted back to them, ”It's nine against eight, kill at least one of them!”
