Chapter 933: Big Brother! You're Truly Ruthless
Watching the green mantis furiously trying to stop the cars with its scythe-like arms there, Jin Hao's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't waste this opportunity!
He aimed both palms at the green mantis.
"Explosive Flame Cannon • Incineration!"
From each of his palms shot out an orange flame pillar over seventy meters in diameter, blasting fiercely toward the green mantis's compound eyes!
The mantis, completely absorbed in slicing the cars, didn't bother teleporting away; instead, it raised its wings to block.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two deafening explosions, and the blazing firelight engulfed the entire mantis.
But then, a spatial blade slashed out from within the flames!
Pale-faced, Jin Hao roared, "Flame Spirit!"
In an instant, his body completely elementalized, turning into a humanoid form made of fire.
The spatial blade that shot past sliced off half of Jin Hao's shoulder.
But because his body was elementalized, he didn't suffer any substantial damage.
His flames, however, weakened significantly.
Looking back at the green mantis, its wings were only scorched black; it wasn't even considered injured.
Jiangnan grinned. This green mantis was way too strong. Jin Hao's full-force attack only chipped off a bit of its health.
A teleport combined with spatial blades was a troublesome combo. Given his own methods, trying to take it down would be suicidal.
But those spatial blades were really cool. He wanted them so badly...
Slurp~
Originally, Jiangnan had been thinking of using some tricks to get its spirit bead, but now it seemed hopeless.
Better find a chance to take the team and run.
If there was no opportunity... then he'd create one!
Jiangnan's big eyes rolled around continuously, shifting back and forth between Jin Hao and Chen Dao'er.
The green mantis, enraged after being hit by Jin Hao, drew its blade and furiously slashed at the elementalized Jin Hao. If it weren't for his elementalization, he'd have been minced meat by now.
"Brother! Quick, throw the car! Throw it!"
Jiangnan kept tossing cars, and sure enough, the mantis got distracted.
It stopped attacking Jin Hao, its eyes gleaming as it started chopping the cars again.
(へᵒ̌ɷᵒ̌)へ)))車︵٩(･᷄ヮ･᷅｡)
Jin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face turning extremely ugly as he glared at Chen Dao'er.
This old guy hadn't even made a move just now; instead, he'd been sizing up Zhong Yingxue and the others.
Clearly, he was planning to catch two of Jiangnan's teammates to threaten Jiangnan into handing over the Spiritual Gauze.
But Jiangnan, who had been watching Chen Dao'er closely, knew exactly what he was up to.
He'd been guarding against this all along.
Without hesitation, he threw a Wrangler straight at Chen Dao'er.
The green mantis, excited, raised its blade and slashed. A long spatial blade instantly cut through.
Chen Dao'er's scalp went numb. He quickly dodged, barely avoiding the spatial blade.
It grazed right past his shoulder.
[From Chen Dao'er's Resentment Points +1000!]
(ꐦʘ̆益ʘ̆) "What the hell are you doing? Why are you throwing stuff at me?"
Jiangnan pulled out another Overlord SUV, holding it in his hand, and secretly opened a space wormhole.
He frantically stuffed Diamond Giant Durians into the car.
(｡ಡٹಡ) : "I was just afraid you'd get too bored, so I thought I'd let you throw a car too, give you a sense of participation!"
With that, he opened another space wormhole and directly tossed the car in front of Chen Dao'er.
The green mantis raised its blade to slash again. Chen Dao'er gritted his teeth.
He swung out a vine, whipping the car toward the mantis.
The mantis charged forward in a burst, unleashing a cross slash.
It slammed hard into the Overlord.
"Boom!"
The moment it struck, the Diamond Giant Durians exploded all at once, blowing the car into three parts scattered everywhere.
↓Σ-`車´-↓
十.`.`.田.`.`.十……
Golden-yellow durian pulp mixed with diamond spikes shot out wildly.
Splattering all over the green mantis.
The mantis's eyes went wide as it opened its mouth and vomited, its whole body stinking and trembling.
Jiangnan: (˵ಡ⌂ಡ˵) "Awww~ you cut a bomb~ Game Over."
The green mantis flew into a rage, its blood-red compound eyes locking onto Chen Dao'er.
This human was too nasty—throwing bombs for it to cut?
Chen Dao'er's face stiffened as he glared viciously at Jiangnan.
[From Chen Dao'er's Resentment Points +1000!]
"You little bastard! You set me up? I'll—"
Before he could finish, the mantis teleported right above Chen Dao'er, a spatial blade slashing down.
"Boom!"
With a blast, Chen Dao'er was sent flying, coughing up blood. Facing the green mantis's attacks, he could only keep generating an ironwood forest to block.
But the green mantis was cutting through like a hot knife through butter, slamming Chen Dao'er to the ground and slashing away.
His little vest was barely holding up.
Chen Dao'er roared, blood spraying, "Help me quick! If I die, neither of you are getting out of here!"
Jin Hao panicked. If Chen Dao'er died, who would he ask for money?
But he didn't dare to jump in recklessly, or he'd be the one getting chased.
"Brother! This isn't the time for infighting. If Chen Dao'er bites it, I can't hold this mantis alone!"
"You're a space-type—don't you have any skill that can control the mantis?"
Jiangnan sneered inwardly. Me go in? Trying to push me into it?
But Chen Dao'er really couldn't die. With just Jin Hao, he couldn't hold the mantis, and Jiangnan himself wouldn't be able to escape.
He gritted his teeth. "I... I can only control it for a short while. Big Brother, you have to pick the right moment!"
Jin Hao's eyes lit up. So Jiangnan really did have something?
"Boom!"
Chen Dao'er's Spiritual Gauze shattered, and the spatial blade was about to come down.
"Hurry!"
If it came to it, he'd have to use his trump card.
Just then, Jiangnan opened a space wormhole, pulled out an Embarrassing Dance Grenade, and tossed it.
"Boom!"
A burst of multicolored electric light erupted, covering a hundred-meter radius, enveloping both the mantis and Chen Dao'er.
Both of them froze for a moment, then their faces filled with horror.
The mantis suddenly started dancing, its body shaking up and down rhythmically.
Even its scythe-arms swung along, creating sharp whooshing sounds.
A kind of harmonious aura spread out.
Liu Mang's eyes went wide. "Is... is that the Mantis Fist?"
And Chen Dao'er couldn't help himself either, unable to suppress the urge to dance.
He did a carp jump out of the pit, his hips twisting wildly left and right like a vibrating motor, his arms waving like waves.
He started doing a Hawaian Hula Dance. As he moved, the grass skirt swayed.
~(๐ಥ益ಥ)～
And he shouted, "Making your heart break~"
"Holding you close, Oh, my baby!~"
"Damn it, you know I really can't back down now!"
[From Chen Dao'er's Resentment Points +1000!]
[From...]
What kind of control skill was this? Why couldn't he stop himself from dancing?
Liu Mang's eyes were already blinded. How many scantily clad little sisters would he have to imagine to recover from this sight?
Chen Dao'er roared, "Attack! Attack it now!"
Jiangnan urged, "Big Brother! Use your strongest move on the mantis quickly! This thing won't hold it for long!"
Jin Hao was also stunned. He didn't understand the principle, but the mantis seemed unable to move?
"St... strongest move? Hold on!"
Jin Hao pulled out the little slingshot tucked at his waist.
This thing could gather all his spiritual power into one shot—definitely his strongest strike.
When else to use it?
He pulled the slingshot back, channeling his entire spiritual power into the leather pouch, making his legs go weak.
But he was secretly excited. Was it actually working?
However, Jiangnan, standing to the side, stiffened, his expression turning strange.
He never expected Jin Hao to choose this moment to use the little slingshot.
And he was using the pouch in forward mode—the auto-aim setting.
A dazzling spirit bullet took shape, aimed at the mantis's head, and fired with a bang.
(ꐦʘ̆皿˂᷅)つY─=≡☀︎
"Whoosh!" As expected of a Starlight Rank expert, all his spiritual power converged into a terrifyingly potent bullet, emitting a blinding light.
It shot toward the mantis at incredible speed.
Chen Dao'er's eyes gleamed. Even a Starlight Rank spirit beast couldn't withstand an attack of this level.
If it hit...
But the spirit bullet, originally heading for the mantis, curved into a beautiful arc in midair.
It shot straight for Chen Dao'er, piercing through his grass skirt and slamming into his body.
"Boom!"
With a blast, it exploded violently.
Chen Dao'er's grass skirt was blown to shreds, his whole body charred black.
His face turned ashen, eyes bulging. He opened his mouth to scream but couldn't make a sound from the excruciating pain.
Σ(›ଵ口ଵ‹‖)～Heh heh heh...
Jin Hao: =͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) Uh...
Jiangnan: Σ(･᷄0･᷅۶)۶ Ooh hoo~
"Big Brother! Didn't we agree not to fight among ourselves and take on the mantis together? Oh, I see—you were just trying to fool Chen Dao'er just now, right?"
He glanced at Chen Dao'er's injuries.
"Tsk tsk, Big Brother, you're truly ruthless. Cutting the roots, huh?"
Chen Dao'er roared at the sky, "Jin! Hao! I'll f*** your mother! Where the hell are you aiming?"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
He charged at Jin Hao with bloodshot eyes. But the green mantis had also broken free.
With a swift chop of its scythe-arm, one of Chen Dao'er's arms was severed, blood spraying everywhere.
But Chen Dao'er didn't care; he kept charging straight for Jin Hao.
To hell with the plan! The hatred for cutting off his roots demanded vengeance!
Jin Hao was stunned. He quickly explained, "No! It's not! I aimed at the mantis, I swear! I don't know how it went off course!"
"I'm not stupid! Why would I hit you?"
Chen Dao'er cursed, "Are you blind? That mantis is over seventy meters tall! I'm just this tiny little thing! How could you miss?"
Jiangnan put on a serious face: "Big Brother, to be honest, even I don't believe that excuse."
"At a time like this, what's there to hide anymore? Let's just take him down!"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Chen Dao'er's eyes were bloodshot: "You... you bastard, Jin Hao! You were playing me! Tell me, how much did he pay you?"
Jin Hao scratched his head frantically: "It really isn't! I wasn't aiming at you..."
Jiangnan: "Gotta say, I never expected this feint from you, Big Brother."
"Truly an old hand! Amazing!"
