The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

A look of pain flashed across the Brawny Man's face, and he immediately darted to the side! His reaction was incredibly fast; sure enough, the Sword Qi struck again the instant he moved.

With a deafening boom, a deep crater was blasted into the ground! The Sword Qi didn't dissipate; instead, it slashed across the ground again!

"A top-grade Sword Talisman!"

The Brawny Man's face immediately darkened.

His armor, though Superior Grade Magic Tool, was still shattered, demonstrating the immense power of the Sword Talisman on the young man's body! He was instantly restrained by this Sword Qi.

Wu Qing stopped what he was doing, muttering incantations as his long, narrow ancient sword shot through the air like You Long, slashing towards the beautiful woman!

The beautiful woman's expression changed instantly. Her hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals to control the flying knife, which struck the flying sword with a clang! Sparks flew everywhere!

The flying sword and the flying knife clashed! The flying knife was clearly at a disadvantage, and cold sweat instantly seeped from the beautiful woman's forehead.

"That kid from Sword Concealment Valley is indeed impressive; no wonder he's so expensive."

She and this Brawny Man accepted a commission from someone else, but this handsome young man turned out to be extremely difficult to deal with.

Wu Qing's expression was stern. "Damn it!"

The young man, who was eager to make friends, was furious! Chen Wang showed no intention of intervening and watched from afar. It seemed that Wu Qing could suppress the couple.

However, his senses were extremely sharp, and he noticed the corpse on the ground. "Something's not right."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Just as Wu Qing was focused on dealing with the couple, some Poisonous Insect suddenly darted towards Wu Qing like lightning from around the corpse on the ground! Wu Qing didn't notice this until a poisonous snake had already bitten his calf!

"Ah!"

Wu Qing let out a scream and fled into the distance.

His defensive magic Law Artifact failed to withstand the attack.

At this moment, he lost his focus, and both the Sword Qi and the flying sword were immediately at a disadvantage.

The beautiful woman controlled the throwing knife and charged at him, Brawny Man also rushed forward with his saber!

Wu Qing's leg swelled up instantly. He immediately swallowed many pills to block the effects of the medicine, while using his movement Movement Method to dodge the venomous snakes.

"What kind of monster came from here, daring to commit such atrocities!"

At this moment, a cold shout came from a Red Cloud Sect Disciple. He was handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor.

A flying sword struck, first forcing back the flying knife, then the poisonous snake. "Fellow Daoist, don't panic. This is the territory of the Red Cloud Sect. Let's see who dares to be insolent!"

Thank you!

Wu Qing said gratefully.

But before he could finish speaking, the man turned and swung his sword! The sword was extremely sharp, instantly piercing Wu Qing's shoulder.

Blood gushed out instantly, like a spring! Wu Qing's upper body was immediately stained red with blood. Although he had gone through a fierce battle, this sword wound was the most serious.

He sped away into the distance.

The red-robed sect disciple's expression was cold and stern. "You still can't kill him after all this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse lying in the pool of blood was lifted into the air, and several people surrounded and attacked Wu Qing! "The Red Cloud Sect Disciple actually participated in this matter!" Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

The corpse that rose into the air from the ground looked exactly like a member of the Five Poisons Sect. It waved its hands, and streams of poisonous gas flew out from its fingertips. The poisonous snakes on the ground were also attacking Wu Qing. Clearly, he had been faking his death earlier.

Wu Qing was trying to suppress the toxins in his body when he was stabbed by the Red Cloud Sect Disciple. He was furious.

"You bastard!"

With a roar, his Sword Qi pierced directly through the cultivator controlling the Poisonous Insect, causing the cultivator's head to explode and kill him instantly. The three were stunned by his power! Wu Qing's expression was filled with grief and indignation.

He had practiced swordsmanship in Sword Concealment Valley since childhood, and all he knew was that the world was dangerous and his senior brothers in the valley were cold and aloof.

This time, however, these people have refreshed my understanding.

He recalled the longsword, gave the three men a deep look, and then dashed away into the distance!

The Red Cloud Sect Disciple immediately shouted, "Chase him! We can't let him escape!"

He had already revealed his whereabouts and dared not be discovered, so he immediately gave chase! The beautiful woman and the Brawny Man also charged forward together! The reward for killing this Sword Concealment Valley disciple was extremely generous.

Money is a powerful motivator, and no one can resist it! The crowd dispersed, and the battlefield returned to calm.

"Although this person's swordsmanship is strong, he seems to lack experience in combat and is also somewhat lacking in wariness of others."

This thought flashed through Chen Wang's mind.

He had no intention of saving the person, but instead quickly stepped forward.

The expert in using poison had his head smashed open and was dead.

This time it wasn't a fake death, it was a complete and utter death.

Chen Wang carefully activated the Profound Wood Bracelet, and a soft light enveloped him, allowing him to quickly steal the man's belongings.

The man possessed a small Storage Artifact, shaped like a ring, and the red bead also exuded an extraordinary aura. Chen Wang took the items directly, then burned the man's body.

"I wonder if that young man can escape. He has many treasures on him, including that Sky Escape Talisman. I wonder if it can still be used."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

Just as he was wondering whether to follow and touch it, he suddenly saw a gray Talisman Paper on the ground with a small sword drawn on Talisman Paper.

Chen Wang picked up the Talisman Paper and immediately felt the sharp Sword Qi.

"It's that Sword Talisman from earlier!"

Chen Wang was surprised.

This Talisman Paper can still be used, but the battle just now was too intense, and the group didn't have time to clean up the battlefield.

The swordsman named Wu Qing clearly did not have the strength to retrieve the treasure.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from afar; it was the Brawny Man carrying the horse-slaying sword.

This person looked extremely fierce, with messy eyebrows and a menacing appearance, but unexpectedly, he was also very meticulous.

This person actually sneaked back, intending to clean up the battlefield.

At that moment, he and Chen Wang made eye contact.

The Brawny Man was experienced, and when he saw the Sword Talisman in Chen Wang's hand, he was immediately enraged! He had been extremely tempted when he noticed the Sword Talisman Sword Talisman land on the ground, and its value was no less than that of chasing down this young man.

Furthermore, the soul-capturing effect of the bead in the hand of that expert from the Five Poisons Sect is extremely rare.

"Put these two treasures away; the mission can be put aside for now."

The thought was just crossing his mind when he saw Chen Wang, and he was instantly enraged.

He had pretended to be slow and unable to keep up, and quietly returned, but he didn't expect that someone had already beaten him to it.

"You son of a bitch!"

He immediately recognized Chen Wang's face. He had previously interrupted Chen Wang's good deed, which had left him with a lot of anger but unable to vent it, and he had wasted money on that flirtatious woman.

Old and new grudges resurfaced, and the burly man immediately charged forward! He knew Chen Wang Chen Wang was incredibly fast, having vanished the moment he turned.

Therefore, I am eager to get closer to him at this time.

Chen Wang stood there, seemingly terrified, which only made the Brawny Man more disdainful. "With such little courage, you dare to come out and snatch food from the tiger's mouth!"

He roared and slashed down with his long sword!

But at that moment, the seemingly flustered young man in his eyes moved swiftly and effortlessly, dodging his attack.

A punch landed immediately! Bang! The Brawny Man was sent flying backward, covered in blood!
