Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 138 Let's fight to our hearts' content!

If the axe-wielding mantis doesn't come, the blessing songs from outside won't do anything to it.

The problem is, why did this axe-wielding mantis have to ambush him here in the valley of all places?

This place contains the Great Array for Exterminating Fungi Gods left behind by the True Lord of Annihilation and the True Lord of Lantern!

"Whoa!!!!"

Countless mycelia shot out under Zhu Ge's control.

Zhu Ge didn't know the upper limit of the Fungal God Annihilation Array, but at least in his perception, it was a piece of cake for the Ordinary Third Realm.

For example, with the mantis at this moment, Zhu Ge could clearly feel that the mantis was fragile and slow.

"Whoosh!!!"

In just a moment, the mantis was almost wrapped up like a dumpling.

"No!!! What kind of power is this?!" The axe-mantis was shocked. Its demonic heart pounded, and demonic energy surged forth.

The pair of axe-like creatures were wielded with impenetrable force, their blades gleaming with black light.

At the same time, Zhu Ge felt a resistance coming from the triangular head and axe blade of the axe-wielding mantis.

This is the divine consciousness of the axe-mantis!

However, this resistance is like the resistance when you crush an ant with a finger—almost zero, negligible.

Logically speaking, the axe-mantis possesses incredibly powerful spiritual energy.

Like the fisherman in the straw raincoat before, he could hurt Hua Liusha from a great distance by using his divine sense and fishing songs.

If the axe-mantis wanted to attack Zhu Ge, it would only take one strike of its divine sense to injure him.

However, at this moment, Zhu Ge consumed the blood and energy in his body to activate the Fungal God Annihilation Array, and countless tentacles completely covered the axe-wielding mantis.

"What the hell is this?!"

The mantis cried out in alarm and plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

"Men! Charge in now!!!"

The mantis let out a piercing scream that carried far and wide.

The little ones?

Zhu Ge's eyes narrowed, and large swathes of mycelium, like tentacles, immediately plunged into the mouth of the axe-wielding mantis, filling it completely and preventing it from making a sound.

Then he looked at Liu Jianjian, Hua Liusha and Dao Xia on the side.

"Jianjian, can we refine it?" Zhu Ge glanced at the axe-mantis beside him and gestured to Liu Jianjian.

Liu Jianjian's eyes widened, but she subconsciously glanced outside the valley.

Outside the valley, billowing demonic energy surged into the sky, accompanied by countless sounds.

"The boss rushed in!"

"Kill them! Don't try to take it from me! That human ran me away for an hour!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! I want the Tomoe Fruit reward!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Countless demons, ghosts, monsters, and gods rushed towards the valley. The first realm had the most spirit-type demons, while the second realm had slightly fewer.

However, this slight increase is only relative to the number of cases in a single region.

In reality, there are at least several dozen second-realm demonic beasts!

There were even a few wandering ghosts in the Lone Soul Realm and minor gods in the Niche Realm.

However, those few gods and demons wisely refrained from rushing forward upon seeing the terrifying fungus god formation.

"Will it work?!"

Zhu Ge let out a soft shout: "If it doesn't work, I'll just kill them!"

If Liu Jianjian can refine this three-realm axe-mantis, then he will have a second trump card besides the Fungus God Annihilation Array.

Three Realms!

This isn't something you can find everywhere.

Now, powerful figures will soon be passing through the territory of Honghe Prefecture.

Without powerful beings appearing, the third realm is the pinnacle!

If Liu Jianjian can use the "Demon Hunting Divine Technique" to refine this axe-wielding mantis, then they will have another third-realm helper.

"Yes, I can! But it will take me four hours!"

Liu Jianjian sensed the demonic aura of the axe-wielding mantis, gritted her teeth, and said, "Hunting is easy, refining is difficult—I'll try my best to be fast!"

Although she is usually afraid of fighting, timid, and loves gossip, she still knows what's important and what's urgent when things are really going to happen.

"Four hours?!"

Zhu Ge was stunned.

Four shichen is eight hours!

Although Zhu Ge knew that the gap between the second and third realms was like a chasm, she didn't expect it to take so long!

Eight hours is still acceptable for Zhu Ge.

"Okay!" Zhu Ge looked outside and took out his silver staff: "The swordsman and I will hold off the demons outside, you stay here and refine the axe-wielding mantis!"

"Little sister, you're preparing to take over the Fungal God Annihilation Array. The seed of the Fungal God is inside my mind!"

"I know!" Hua Liusha disappeared into Zhu Ge's body, and when she came out, she had a brown seed in her hand and took control of the axe mantis.

Seeing this, Liu Jianjian did not hesitate. She immediately made a hand seal, and a strand of hair on her head floated down and drifted towards the axe-wielding mantis.

"！！！！"

The mantis, bound by mycelium, thrashed about even more violently.

The hyphae are normally invisible to the naked eye, so the swaying of the mantis appears quite comical.

But for the mantis, whether it was comical or not was unimportant; what mattered was that there was a terrifying, chilling feeling emanating from that single strand of hair.

It could sense that if that strand of hair touched its body, something terrible would happen.

After all, Zhu Ge and the others hadn't been avoiding the topic when they spoke.

However, how could they break free so easily after being trapped in the Fungal God's Annihilation Array?

"Buzz"

The air trembled slightly, and strands of hair fell onto the mantis's body like shooting stars.

The next moment, streaks of purple light shot out from Liu Jianjian's body, connecting the two.

Liu Jianjian immediately sat down cross-legged, her hands forming hand seals, her demonic heart pounding.

The refining process has begun!

Hua Liusha immediately released control of the Fungus God Annihilation Array, his body transforming into a red mist that enveloped Liu Jianjian and the Axe-Mantis, remaining vigilant about their surroundings.

The consumption of manipulating the Fungus God Annihilation Array is too great, and Hua Liusha cannot manipulate it for too long, so it must be saved for a critical moment.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ge had already arrived outside the valley.

The swordsman had already charged into the demon horde, his six legs transforming into a staff, slaughtering everyone in his path.

During this period, Dao Xia has been learning the martial arts carefully selected by the fisherman.

He is proficient in everything, including attack, defense, and movement techniques.

"Call me if you can't hold on any longer!"

Zhu Ge was very satisfied as he watched the swordsman who had single-handedly blocked the entrance to the valley.

However, the next moment, a transformed eagle swooped down from the sky.

Three more transformed demonic beasts attacked the swordsman from other places.

The swordsman was startled and quickly retreated using a "lighting incense" movement technique, shouting, "I can't hold on any longer!"

"Useless." Zhu Ge was speechless, but immediately stepped forward and said, "You stop the monsters coming from above!"

The swordsman responded and immediately climbed to the top of the valley to fight the eagle and the owl.

However, although the eagle and the owl are both at the second realm like the swordsman, they are naturally inferior to the swordsman in terms of race. Fortunately, the swordsman's body is refined with metal, so he is able to resist for the time being.

Zhu Ge, on the other hand, charged into the demon horde with a staff.

Actually, using the Fungus God Annihilation Formation to kill these monsters would be the best option.

But that would mean exterminating even the mantis and the axe-wielding mantis.

Moreover, these demonic beasts aren't stupid. If Zhu Ge starts using the formation and they discover something amiss, they'll probably just run away.

Monsters have no concept of dignity; their instinct is to seek advantage and avoid harm.

"Perfect! I haven't had a proper fight since becoming a Mountain Crushing Realm warrior. Let's have a good battle today!"
