Chapter 192 Human-shaped Rabbit (13)

boom!
After dodging two bullets in succession.

The Third Prince ultimately couldn't dodge Li Jingshu's third, pre-planned bullet.

puff!
When that bullet pierced the Third Prince's shoulder blade.

Realizing the danger, he barely hesitated and suddenly transformed his arms into dragon claws to block above his head.

boom!
Then, a torrent of lightning struck down instantly.

Even with dragon scales protecting him, the Third Prince still felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if every cell in his body was protesting against him.

Even so, this was the result of the Third Prince's superhuman physique.

If it were any other deity, being struck by such a bolt of lightning would either kill them or leave them crippled.

However, the Third Prince didn't seem to care about any of this. Instead, he roared angrily at the Flower Mantis.

"Flower Mantis, when did I order you to attack?!"

At this very moment, the mantis continued its relentless attack on Li Jingshu.

The twin swords, swift as lightning, aimed straight for Li Jingshu's vitals each time.

Forced by her limited combat experience, she could only adopt a completely defensive stance.

Fortunately, Li Jingshu had protective qi around her.

The flower mantis's dual blades cannot actually cause it any real damage.

Even if one occasionally uses overlapping sword techniques to hit the same spot simultaneously, forcibly breaking through the protective aura of the body.

Li Jingshu's red leather fur coat also taught the flower mantis a full lesson in what "counter-damage" meant.

Clang! Clang!
Li Jingshu only needed to use her ox-like strength to hold on and not retreat.

The mantis's twin blades developed several small nicks due to the recoil from the red-skinned fur coat, startling him so much that he dared not launch another rash attack.

Of course, the Third Prince's stern warning might be another reason.

"Flower Mantis, this is my battlefield!"

"You are merely a bodyguard sent by my father to protect me; you have no right to fight for me!"

The Third Prince was furious because of his inner pride.

He simply couldn't accept that he had been outmaneuvered by a mere mortal.

"Third Prince, we have to go."

Without making a sound, the flower mantis retreated to the side of the Third Prince and spoke in its deep voice.

"Walk?"

Upon hearing what the mantis said, the Third Prince was first taken aback, then stared at it in disbelief and scolded it.

"You mean I just got hit by a bolt of lightning for no reason, and then did nothing but run away?"

The Third Prince has come here with a mission: to clear the river leading to the Hundred Mountains.

Because his eldest and second eldest brothers are making breakthroughs in other areas targeting the Hundred Mountains.

The three brothers each focused on a different area.

Essentially, it also carries the connotation of vying for favor and power.

As a result, he has not accomplished anything and has been struck by lightning in the first encounter.

The fact that the mantis, whom his father had sent to assist him, was now advising him to leave inevitably aroused the Third Prince's suspicions that he had ulterior motives.

“If it were just Takao-kun and this human girl, we certainly wouldn’t need to leave.”

"But what if they're not the only ones coming?"

As he said this, the mantis looked up at the sky, its gaze fixed on the dark clouds.

"I think... we've really hit a tough nut to crack this time."

It was as if it were responding to the mantis's words.

Suddenly, a jet-black claw emerged from the clouds, tearing through the dark sky with a single stroke. Whoosh!
The raging storm paused, and warm sunlight streamed down onto the earth through the crack.

Immediately afterwards, a five-clawed black dragon fell from the sky, and the moment it touched the ground, it transformed into a three-meter-tall... rabbit?
"..."

It was a rabbit with a slender figure and long limbs.

There is a crimson mark on the rabbit's forehead.

Putting aside the first impression of "rabbit".

Judging solely from the structure and proportions of its body, this rabbit is virtually identical to a human.

Only its ears and arms, which were long and extended past its knees, were slightly different from those of a normal human.

But it also added to his agile and swift, yet imposing and dignified air.

"E'tu? What brings you here?"

Looking at the tall figure standing in front of her with surprise, Li Jingshu's words successfully made the other party smile slightly.

"The prophet was still a little worried about you, so he specifically sent me to keep an eye on you."

Ever since I came out of the Soul Cauldron.

The rabbit, which was originally only the size of a tiger, has grown into its current form.

In Li Boyang's words, E'tu had forcibly eaten half of the divine body and consumed so many of his precious medicinal herbs, how could there be no change at all?

As for why E'tu eventually turned into its current near-human form?
That can only mean that in his subconscious, the human form is indeed more useful than the beast form, which is why he turned into this half-human, half-rabbit form.

"Now it seems that the prophet's concerns were not without reason."

Tilting his head slightly, E'tu stared at the Flower Mantis opposite him and said.

Unlike Tianwu and the Third Prince.

The rabbit felt a genuine threat from the mantis opposite it.

In terms of strength and foundation alone, the Flower Mantis may not be as good as Tianwu and the Third Prince.

However, in terms of aggression and combat ability, this flower mantis gave E'tu a feeling that was even greater than that of the peak-era Takao-kun.

This is the difference between specializing in one's field, and it is also the underlying reality of the world.

In a real world, conventional classifications of realms and supernatural powers do not represent a person's full capabilities.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise and areas of inclination.

The flower mantis is undoubtedly a powerful warrior focused on combat, possessing the ability to challenge opponents far above its level.

Correspondingly, the flower mantis also feels a strong sense of crisis.

Just as the elk sensed the danger of the flower mantis, the flower mantis also felt the presence of its own kind from the elk.

"Thief Rabbit, is this your time to chat?!"

Just as the rabbit and the mantis were cautiously confronting and probing each other.

Suddenly, a furious roar came from the floodwaters not far away, and a huge boulder was smashed into this direction.

However, this time, the target of the attack by the Jade Lord was not the Mantis or the Third Prince, but the Evil Rabbit.

Because Etu played a crucial role in Li Boyang's capture of Gaoyaojun.

In the mind of the lord of the mountain, this ever-changing and extremely cunning thief rabbit was even more hated than Li Boyang, the mountain prophet.

"You idiot...we're on the same side now!"

I never expected that Kouyao would choose to attack me at this time.

E'tu was stunned for a moment before grabbing Li Jingshu with a helpless expression and quickly moving aside.

boom!
When the boulder crashed down, the earth instantly cracked open, and dust filled the air.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the flower mantis, which was also briefly taken aback, decisively chose to launch a strong attack.
