Chapter 1278 Why the Need for Stealth?
"It's alright, I'll go scout out the situation first!" Xiao Chen said. Now that he has mastered the Xuan Turtle Divine Armor Technique, his defensive power has increased dramatically. That Golden Mantis Demon King, who possesses the Golden Element Holy Blood, is known as the most powerful attacker in this area. Perfect, he can use it to test the ancient scripture.
After he mastered the Xuan Turtle Divine Armor, he had not yet tested its power when the Golden Mantis Demon King delivered himself to his doorstep. It was fate that he was killed by him!
"Xiao Chen, do not be arrogant! The strength of that Golden Mantis Demon King is heaven-defying. We were only spying from a distance of a thousand meters when we were discovered by those two dazzling mantis guards, who seemed to be cast in gold, and they began to pursue us. With just one strike, one of the Golden Mantis guards easily sliced through a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. If the guards are so fierce and unstoppable, I cannot imagine how powerful the Golden Mantis Demon King must be!"
Lan Xiaodie was worried that Xiao Chen didn't understand how terrifying the Golden Mantis Demon King was, so she spoke up one after another.
The trip to Golden Mantis Mountain was so suffocating that she would never forget it. Before today, she could hardly have imagined that one day she would be chased and hacked by two gate guards and almost lose her life!
She was at the same level as her opponent, but their actual combat strength was worlds apart. With just one look from him, she felt like a demon staring at her, which made her blood almost freeze. The feeling of her heart stopping was too terrifying for her to forget!
"Is this woman out of her mind? Shouldn't we check what nonsense she's spouting!"
"It seems my benefactor was not lying. This woman is indeed not familiar with him and has no idea of his divine power!"
"It's just a golden mantis demon king. With your courage, my benefactor, what is there to fear?"
Several blue-haired, beautiful, and graceful turtle-clan celestial maidens, each with their own unique charm, stared at Lan Xiaodie with strange eyes. Many of them showed disdain, while others were quite delighted, like people who had fallen into an abyss suddenly seeing the light and regaining hope.
They originally thought that Lan Xiaodie was Xiao Chen's Daoist partner, and were heartbroken and unable to let go of their knots in their hearts. Who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better, and Lan Xiaodie actually seemed to be unfamiliar with Xiao Chen.
"You stay here, I'll go to Golden Mantis Mountain to check things out!" Xiao Chen said, without explaining much to Lan Xiaodie.
"No, as the leader of the Great Xia Warband, how can I live alone when the warband is in danger? We must die together!"
Lan Xiaodie shook her head. Before entering the God and Demon Battlefield, each battle group would elect a leader to issue orders on the God and Demon Battlefield. The nominal leader of the Great Xia Battle Group was none other than Lan Xiaodie!
“Okay, stick close to me!” Xiao Chen nodded. He knew very little about the Golden Mantis Mountain, but with Lan Xiaodie traveling with him, he could avoid some detours on the road.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's entire body glowed, and his aura was as vast as the sea, stirring up a huge purple ocean. He then carried Lan Xiaodie beside him and instantly soared into the sky.
"Xiao Chen, your strength... has increased again, it's become terrifying!"
Lan Xiaodie was astonished. The last time they met, Xiao Chen was only at the first level of the King Realm. In just a few days, he had successfully broken through the second level of the King Realm!
"Some serendipitous encounters are simply a matter of luck!"
Xiao Chen said, his body glowing with divine light like fire, stepping on a giant purple sword, like an unparalleled sword immortal, as he soared into the sky, piercing through the clear blue sky.
"Xiao Chen, don't be modest!"
Lan Xiaodie lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Before entering the battlefield of gods and demons, Xiao Chen had just entered the King Realm. In just a few days, he broke through the realm again. What kind of extraordinary encounter could give him such power that he could shatter the King Realm in just a few days? In the end, it was because Xiao Chen was too heaven-defying and his talent was invincible, astonishing the gods and making ghosts weep!
"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"
Despite the mountains and rivers rushing past beneath his feet and the universe turning upside down, Xiao Chen was still dissatisfied with the speed. He directly activated the Wind Concealment Technique, using the power of the heavenly wind to grow illusory wings for himself, transforming into a divine bird and beginning to accelerate his flight.
At this moment, high in the sky, the wind and clouds surged, and purple clouds filled the sky.
Accompanied by a strange light, Xiao Chen rushed past, like a ghost traversing the sky. In an instant, he traversed a thousand meters and appeared in another celestial realm.
"Xiao Chen, slow down!" Lan Xiaodie exclaimed, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, as if her soul was about to leave her body and she was about to vomit.
As a royal cultivator, Lan Xiaodie possessed an incredibly resilient body and soul, as stable as divine iron. However, under Xiao Chen's extreme speed as he flew on his sword, she experienced a vomiting reaction.
"Hang in there, the Golden Mantis Mountain will be here soon!" Xiao Chen charged into the sky, smashing through the sea of clouds, like a rampaging ancient beast, bathed in divine light, breaking through the air and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The Golden Mantis Mountain is only about fifty miles away from the Xuan Turtle Mountain. For Xiao Chen, who had used the Wind Concealment Technique, it was like child's play. He broke through the clouds and struck the sky. It only took him a short while to reach his destination.
It must be said that soaring through the skies is truly exhilarating.
What would take an ordinary person three or four hours to travel, he could do in an instant.
Of course, not everyone enjoys the trip.
Take Lan Xiaodie for example. In just a short time, she vomited no less than a dozen times, and most of her bile was vomited up!
"How...how could you...so...fast! Ugh!" Lan Xiaodie's eyes were filled with resentment. She was about to complain when a wave of nausea surged up, and she immediately vomited again!
"This is the Golden Mantis Mountain, truly extraordinary!" Xiao Chen's face darkened slightly, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Lan Xiaodie's comment that he had spoken too quickly. He lowered his gaze, looking down at the landscape below. A magnificent mountain, shaped like a mantis and gleaming with golden light, stood before him, towering into the clouds, its eerie light dazzling and its mysterious mist pervasive.
The entire mountain was majestic and imposing, yet it was repaired and sculpted by someone with superb craftsmanship, and shaped into an enormous golden mantis.
Although mantises are weak, the Golden Mantis Demon clan is incredibly terrifying. Originating in ancient times, they can control the power of metal, are skilled in using weapons, and are born craftsmen.
This Golden Mantis Mountain was meticulously crafted by the Golden Mantis Demon Clan over several years, using the full strength of the entire clan.
The giant golden mantis was not only lifelike, but also exuded a fierce aura. Even from a distance, one could sense the murderous aura emanating from it, making it a perfect embodiment of both form and spirit!
"The Golden Mantis Palace is at the top of the mountain!" After vomiting for a while, Lan Xiaodie's expression softened slightly. She pointed in a direction towards Golden Mantis Mountain to guide Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, carrying Lan Xiaodie, rushed past, piercing through the void, and flew ostentatiously towards the Golden Mantis Mountain not far away.
"Not going to sneak up?" Lan Xiaodie was dumbfounded. She felt that Xiao Chen was being too arrogant and cocky. He was about to face an unparalleled demon lord who was invincible in this area. Was he really going to just walk past him like that?
"No need, just sweep through!" Xiao Chen whispered, full of confidence!
"How dare you, you petty thief, invade the airspace of my Golden Mantis Mountain?"
"Come down here immediately and face your death, or your entire family will be exterminated!"
At the top of the mountain, a huge divine palace was located. Two golden mantis demons, each at least two meters tall, were guarding the palace gate. When they saw Xiao Chen and Lan Xiaodie flying straight over, they were stunned for a moment, and then they flew into a rage!
This is Golden Mantis Mountain! How dare two mere human brats be so arrogant? Do they want to die?
