New Era (10)
The sudden powerful breath froze the strange smile on the butterfly-faced man's face. He slowly turned his head and met Shi Jianxia's half-smile.
Before he could react to what was happening, the black and gold energy stars had transformed into two long energy dragons that swirled down from Shi Jianxia's shoulders and crashed straight into it with bursts of high-pitched dragon roars!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The powerful energy impact instantly destroyed the energy shield covering the butterfly-faced man's body and crushed all its bones in an instant.
The black-gold energy that rushed into its body was different from ordinary energy. It seemed as if it had grown countless mouths, revealing sharp white teeth that were tearing into its flesh and blood.
Severe pain swept through his body, and his super strong self-healing ability was no match for the speed at which the black and gold energy was 'biting' him.
Amidst the layers of energy waves, the butterfly-faced man let out a deafening scream, but before his turbulent sound could spread, it was caught by a layer of black and gold energy film and was mercilessly pressed back.
The ancient and mysterious "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has become substantial in the universe, emitting a bright light from the inside out. Its sacred brilliance makes people dare not look directly at it.
The pages of the book flipped with a rustling sound, and Yinglong swam out from it, raised its head and let out a high-pitched dragon roar. It aimed at the two butterfly-faced people who were besieging He Shu, swept their tail across, and swatted them away like mosquitoes, sending them flying several light years away!
Lu Shu and Cheng Huang poked their heads out from the pages of the book, one small one riding on Buzhou Mountain and the other small one riding on Zhaoyao Mountain. They drew a long trail of light and shadow in the dim universe and rushed straight towards the vortex that the butterfly-faced man had no time to move to!
Chang Xi and Rushou accurately found the remaining two insect vortices and devoured them without any hesitation!
Their actions were quick and swift, leaving the Butterfly-Faced Man no chance to escape.
After Shi Jianxia was promoted to the Holy Realm, the mimics were also blessed with more powerful forces and all were promoted to the Holy Realm. It was no longer as difficult as before to devour high-level insect vortexes. Now, the insect vortexes could go into their stomachs with just a bite.
The Lu Shu cub and Cheng Huang cub burped in succession, their bellies looking so bulging that people wanted to touch them and pat them, but Shi Jianxia didn't have time to stroke their fur at the moment.
This was the first time the mimics had eaten a sanctuary-level insect vortex, and they could clearly feel that they could not digest it in a short period of time.
The two little guys were staggering on the two hills like they were drunk. If there was no gravity in the universe, they would have fallen off the mountain. So they buried their heads in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and began to sleep soundly, consuming the power of the insect vortex.
Changxi and Rushou also felt full, so they did not stay in the universe for too long and returned to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" like the other two.
Lu probably never dreamed that as soon as he left, the four capable generals under his command lost their most powerful support and rolled around in the universe like crazy, holding their heads.
Perhaps he didn't think that in order to act cautiously and wait for an opportunity, he actually gave Shi Jianxia time to advance to the Holy Realm, and ended up losing more than he gained.
Shi Jianxia slowly withdrew his hand, looked at Su He who was in astonishment and He Shu who was obviously still in shock, and waved to Zhaoyao Mountain.
The little guy was spinning his body like a mountain, hitting the butterfly-faced man who was rolling around in pain again and again.
After receiving her call, Zhaoyaoshan immediately stopped beating the man who had fallen on hard times, and flew over happily to use his mimicry talent [Gentle Rain].
The breeze blew across their cheeks, bringing wisps of rain and dew. A faint light covered them, and the fatigue in Su He and He Shu quickly subsided. Their minds gradually became clear, and their frowns slowly relaxed.
The two had only seen Shi Jianxia in photos or videos; this was their first face-to-face encounter. Seeing her effortlessly appear in the universe, the aura surrounding her was so powerful that it made them subconsciously want to avoid her. A thought suddenly arose in their hearts—
Sanctuary!
Shi Jianxia has been promoted to the Holy Realm!
There was no time to think about how she did it. He Shu immediately said, "Quick! Go save Pei Qin! The Insect King is chasing him! With Pei Qin's strength, he's no match for him!"
"Don't worry, someone has already gone there. I'll take care of these four bugs first." Shi Jianxia smiled at them reassuringly.
The two were quite surprised. All the powerful humans in the Holy Land were here. Who could still save Pei Qin?
Shi Jianxia did not explain their doubts, but turned his attention to the butterfly-faced man who had lost the insect vortex but did not disappear into energy fragments like the higher-level insects below the Sanctuary realm.
The vortex disappeared, but the Zerg survived, which shows that the powers of the two are related but independent of each other.
Insect crystal?
These Zerg in the sanctuary realm should also have Zerg crystals in their bodies, and Zerg crystals are the source of the Zerg's power.
Shi Jianxia narrowed his eyes slightly, flashed in front of a butterfly-faced man, and before it tried to fight back, he held the Zhu Yan sword and pierced its chest without mercy!
Blood splashed out along with the energy impact, condensed into pearls in the universe, and floated away under the action of inertia.
The butterfly-faced man spat out a mouthful of blood, his compound eyes flashed rapidly, and his hands hanging by his sides condensed into a terrifying ball of energy, which he decisively smashed towards Shi Jianxia who was right in front of him, attempting a final counterattack.
But without the insect vortex, its strength was greatly weakened. How could it be a match for Shi Jianxia? It was just a last-ditch effort.
Shi Jianxia calmly raised his hand, grasped the butterfly-faced man's almost shattered wrist bones, compressed the energy ball that was about to explode, and smashed it hard on its head!
The shattered bones did not recover.
Sure enough, without the Zerg Vortex, the higher Zerg lost their ability to regenerate.
The energy ball hit the butterfly-faced man's head, exploding with earth-shattering power. Shi Jianxia easily retreated several light years away. In the magnificent explosion, he could vaguely feel a force protecting the butterfly-faced man's head.
It seems that is where the insect crystal is.
Before the energy wave disappeared, Buzhou Mountain followed Shi Jianxia's order, appeared in front of the butterfly-faced man who was blown to pieces, and smashed down hard!
The butterfly-faced man, who had been extremely ferocious before, had become a spent force. He spat out another mouthful of blood, which turned into blood foam and dissipated in the rapid energy impact, leaving only a dim energy crystal.
Looking at the remaining three butterfly-faced people, they all shook their bodies at the same time and immediately fled in different directions!
The positions of the hunter and the prey were reversed, and the strategy of escaping in three directions did not work.
Gonggong swung his long snake tail and brought a large number of small mountains to block the way of one of the butterfly-faced men. The nine-tailed fox and 朏朏 also took a heartless step and brought their younger brothers to encircle the remaining two butterfly-faced men.
The situation turned around too quickly. He Shu and Su He stood there in a daze, watching Shi Jianxia successively deal with the four butterfly-faced people from the Holy Land who were chasing them and forcing them to flee in a panic.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas" attacks the Zerg in a dimensionality-reduction manner, as if they can do nothing about the Zerg with regenerative abilities.
But didn't Shi Jianxia just ascend to the Saint Realm? How could he be so powerful? Marshal Yunshang is no more than that, right?
The energy waves formed by the explosion pushed forward one after another. The three butterfly-faced people in the Holy Realm no longer had the vortex to provide them with a constant supply of energy support. Under the siege of the mimics, they gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Shi Jianxia didn't intend to waste time. He smashed their skulls with a punch and took out three insect crystals. Together with the one that Buzhoushan had happily sent over, there were four in total.
The energy contained in the insect crystal of the Holy Realm is quite impressive, but after the fierce battle just now, it was obviously over-consumed and lost its original luster.
They are very different from the insect crystals of ordinary Zerg. They are diamond-shaped crystals of various colors, only the size of a finger, look very similar to star cores, and can spontaneously gather energy.
Shi Jianxia felt strange. Could the seven star cores be the insect crystals left behind by the Zerg in the Holy Realm?
Apart from their different heights, their appearance and abilities are very similar.
However, the star core came from a barren planet that exploded more than 600 years ago and seems to have nothing to do with the Zerg.
The matter had not been completely resolved, so she put this somewhat outrageous guess aside for the time being and put the four insect crystals into the space bracelet, preparing to study them later.
The battle was over, and energy stains remained everywhere in the universe. Shi Jianxia said to He Shu and Su He, "The Zerg have begun a full-scale invasion. Please go back and help. I will go find General Pei Qin."
The two nodded. With the treatment of [Spring Breeze and Rain], their condition recovered a lot, but after all, they were seriously injured and could no longer continue to participate in high-intensity battles.
Since Shi Jianxia said that someone was going to support Pei Qin, and she was able to easily defeat four Sanctuary Zergs, they were useless and it would be more appropriate for them to return to the ground to help.
The two sides separated, and Shi Jianxia tore open a space crack, located where Zhou was, and disappeared in front of the two.
He Shu felt a little relieved, then thought of Xu Xizhao who was killed by Lu's sneak attack, and sighed regretfully. If they could hold on for another hour, Xu Xizhao might not have died.
But if you think about it carefully, they were extremely exhausted after a whole day of high-intensity fighting. It was a stroke of luck that they were able to survive.
Su He knew what she was thinking, patted her shoulder and said, "Let's get through the difficulties first."
The two were about to take action when they suddenly felt an energy wave behind them as if the space was being torn apart. Thinking that Shi Jianxia had returned, they turned around to ask her if there was anything she needed, but a sharp pain came from the back of their chest.
Two hands, one on the left and one on the right, pierced their hearts, and a powerful suction force enveloped the two of them, frantically grabbing the energy and vitality in their bodies.
Blood gushed out of their mouths, and their beating hearts were shattered by the energy blades. Before they completely lost consciousness, they turned their heads with difficulty and saw a familiar face.
Su He's pupils dilated, and he moved his lips as if he wanted to call out the other person's name, but a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat first.
The visitor smiled slightly and uttered three words: "Rest in peace."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them were completely drained of their vitality, floating in the boundless universe with wide eyes.
