"Your daddy has crowd-control skills!"
With an angry roar, Lu Chen's eyes abruptly turned pitch-black. Then, a pressure like the might of heaven descended upon this Gloomy Forest.
Under that pressure, the chirping insects and calling birds that had filled the air vanished completely. The entire world fell silent; even the sound of the wind disappeared.
Amid that absolute silence, the Deathwing Mantis charging at Lu Chen did not fare well either.
Pressed down by Lu Chen's Conqueror's Haki, it did not immediately lose consciousness, but its movements instantly warped, becoming limp and powerless.
The sudden change made the Deathwing Mantis realize something was wrong, and it immediately tried to flap its wings and fly away from Lu Chen.
Unfortunately, affected by the Conqueror's Haki, its mind and body were somewhat out of sync. Even its attempt to beat its wings and take flight was completely distorted.
Instead of flying away, it tilted to one side from flapping its wings, crashed into a tree in front of it, and fell to the ground with a "splat."
The Deathwing Mantis was not weak. The instant it hit the ground, it recovered from the crushing pressure of Conqueror's Haki. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
The moment it regained consciousness, a pitch-black iron sword came crashing straight down onto its head.
The iron sword had no edge and could not be called sharp in any way, but the force behind it was unstoppable.
With a "squelch," green blood splattered everywhere. The Deathwing Mantis's head was smashed apart by a single blow. After piercing through its head, the iron sword still had force to spare, plunging halfway into the ground like a drill.
