Chapter 342: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
With the Dragon God’s permission, the overflowing spirit particles on Xia Feng’s body quickly took form, and a majestic divine statue rose directly.
He put his arm around Mu Qingtong’s waist.
“Let’s go, Miss Mu, it’s our turn.”
As Xia Feng stepped out of the Calamity Force Waterfall, the divine statue on his body was completely formed!
“Those two guys are out!”
At the same time, outside the cave, the dark-faced strong man said in a deep voice, “Activate the unique ability, and destroy the target divine statue with all our might.”
But as he spoke, the dark-faced strong man’s voice gradually turned into a murmur. He slowly raised his head stiffly, his brown pupils suddenly expanding and contracting, vibrating continuously.
In his trembling pupils, a magnificent and terrifying divine shadow reaching into the sky was reflected.
But when he forced his eyes open wide again, he suddenly found that he could not see the specific appearance of the divine shadow at all.
It was as if he clearly knew that a supreme will had descended, standing before heaven and earth, looking down on all beings.
But he just couldn’t see where this supreme will was.
When he tried to look again with a single thought, his eyeballs instantly stung, and his vision was filled with white light.
“One must not look directly at the divine”—it was like a punishment from the laws of heaven and earth. Blood flowed from his eyes, and he grunted, covering his eyes and bending over, his heart filled with terror and dread.
Not only him, but the white-haired old man’s face also turned pale, and blood streamed from his sharp, piercing eyes.
At the same time, the Black Moon Goddess statue above, which was based on his spirit pressure, was instantly annihilated!
It turned into fine spirit light and dispersed completely.
The God King Statue possessed uniqueness. When there were two or more different divine statues present in the same place, only the divine statue of higher status could survive, and the lower-status ones would be instantly annihilated.
Logically speaking, no matter how powerful the enemy god was, it shouldn’t have caused the Black Moon Goddess statue to perish instantly.
But that was exactly what happened. As the spirit of the first Goddess statue dissipated, the one above the dark-faced strong man, and the ones above the knight formation, also collapsed one by one!
In the face of K-Masked Man’s outrageous divine statue, the Black Moon Goddess statue had no power to fight back at all.
“How could this… happen?” someone in the knight formation exclaimed, covering their eyes in horror. The once neat formation was filled with chaotic cries.
Stripped of the protection of the God King Statue, they were thrown into complete disarray.
“Swish, swish, swish—” As expected, in less than an instant, the Crying Witches who had been surrounding the Water Curtain Cave turned and flashed towards the knight formation.
“Damn it!”
Yuji Pao subconsciously took a frightened step back, cold sweat streaming down his face, “Damn it!!”
“Calm down!” The green-robed woman’s clear voice, imbued with spiritual power, instantly stabilized everyone’s minds. “Form the five-element array! Quickly!”
Hearing the Saintess’s command, nearly a hundred knights regained their senses and acted immediately.
The five-element array was a formation specifically designed to deal with the Crying Witches. It was their last resort in case the God King Statue failed.
This formation could hold back up to 160 Crying Witches.
Unfortunately, their actions were still a step too slow. The Crying Witches were too close to them, leaving no time to adjust their formation.
As the first knight’s terrified scream abruptly ceased, more and more people were touched by the Crying Witches, their mouths agape as they instantly petrified into sculptures.
Then, in less than half a second, these sculptures completed the process of transforming into female characteristics, becoming witches.
“You’re seeking death!!” The white-haired old man and the dark-faced strong man glared at Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong with rage. With a step, the two True Martial realm powerhouses were already before the Calamity Force Waterfall!
But Xia Feng had already anticipated their movements. After releasing the God King Statue, he immediately took a step back, not daring to linger.
He returned to the Water Curtain Cave.
Seeing that they had missed, the faces of the two True Martial realm powerhouses grew even uglier, but this was not the time for them to get angry.
The rear had already descended into complete chaos. Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong stood inside the waterfall, waiting calmly.
If it were any other time, facing these two True Martial realm powerhouses and a large group of Black Moon Knights, they would have turned and fled.
But now, with external help, killing them was easy.
Just now, this group of Black Moon Knights had intended to stand by and watch, waiting for Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong to be assimilated and killed by the Crying Witches, but they didn’t expect that the tables would turn.
Just as Xia Feng was leisurely preparing to watch a show, an unexpected change occurred outside that made him widen his eyes.
The Obsidian stones, which had been hidden deep beneath the ground, suddenly lit up with dazzling light. They vibrated together and directly pierced through the rock layers, rushing towards the ground and erupting from the earth!
As they got closer, Xia Feng finally saw the number of Obsidian stones through his Eye of Deconstruction—a total of 230!
They possessed all five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth! There were even rare Obsidian stones with light and dark attributes!
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
The moment more than two hundred Obsidian stones broke through the ground, thirty of them flashed with gray light. Within the light, human figures were outlined and materialized.
Thirty Black-robed Persons wearing Blood-Eye Masks appeared suspended in the air, and the thirty Obsidian stones behind them shattered.
The Burning Heaven Sacred Hall was actually hidden beneath the ground? Xia Feng was somewhat surprised.
“Turtle Breath Petrification Technique, a C-class Spirit Robe.”
Mu Qingtong’s soft voice rang out, “It’s a concealment Spirit Robe that consumes lifespan as a price and uses Obsidian stones as an auxiliary means. It allows one’s soul and body to be stored in Obsidian stones, entering a state of suspended animation and setting a timed awakening. For example, if it’s set to awaken after 3 days, the Obsidian stone will automatically awaken the person in suspended animation after 3 days.”
Hearing Mu Qingtong’s explanation, Xia Feng was somewhat puzzled, “If it’s timed, then their awakening is a bit too coincidental.”
“It is indeed a bit coincidental.”
Mu Qingtong nodded thoughtfully, “So, the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall should have known the specific time when the purple mist covered the Water Curtain Cave. They arrived here long before the Black Moon Holy See, but could not enter the Water Curtain Cave. So, they used a large amount of Obsidian stones combined with the ‘Turtle Breath Petrification Technique’ to hide underground, preparing to be the oriole behind the cicada once the Black Moon Holy See obtained the ‘Witch’s Key’.”
“But now that we’ve interfered, both the Holy See’s and the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall’s plans have failed.”
Just as Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong were chatting.
The Burning Heaven cultists who suddenly appeared outside were slaughtering indiscriminately. They actually possessed a method to deal with the Crying Witches.
It was a petrifying eye. Thirty Burning Heaven cultists each held one. When a Crying Witch approached, they aimed at its eye, and could kill the Crying Witch, turning it into an Obsidian stone.
More and more Obsidian stones fell from the air.
Ten, twenty… fifty, making Xia Feng’s mouth water.
He quickly observed that all the Obsidian stones were absorbed into a pocket watch by a small person less than 1.5 meters tall.
The small person seemed to be the leader of this group of Burning Heaven evil disciples, the only one not wearing a Blood-Eye Mask.
However, a Blood-Eye symbol was engraved between his eyebrows, his face looked slightly aged, and his eye sockets were pitch black, without pupils.
“Qing Xiazi, you’re seeking death!!” The white-haired old man watched as more and more knights turned into witches, and then into Obsidian stones collected by the blind man. He was furious.
He stamped his foot and lunged directly at Qing Xiazi.
Qing Xiazi let out a strange low laugh, ignored him, and turned to flee. From time to time, he would slow down a knight’s pace, causing them to turn into witches.
The Black Moon Knights were immediately thrown into a chaotic battle with the Burning Heaven cultists. However, with the Crying Witches present, the Black Moon Knights quickly fell into a disadvantage, and their numbers rapidly decreased.
At the same time, Jiang Qiue appeared on a cluster of rocks in the center of the battlefield at some point. After shattering several rocks, the formation domain hidden beneath them suddenly scattered with a roar.
She seemed to have been prepared for the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall. The moment her domain unfurled, the Burning Heaven cultists were directly immobilized, dizzy and unable to move.
The remaining thirty Black Moon Knights were unaffected and began their counterattack.
Outside the Water Curtain Cave, chaos reigned. Screams, roars, curses, the clash of weapons, the continuous explosions of colorful light formed by powerful Spirit Robes, the earth shaking…
The numbers of the Black Moon, Witches, and Burning Heaven factions were rapidly decreasing, while only the number of Obsidian stones was increasing madly.
Xia Feng watched excitedly from inside the cave.
“Fight! Fight! Make it even more intense!
I hope it ends in a mutual destruction!”
