The battle between the advanced martial artist and the mantis man continued, and the spatial rift on the rooftop began to contract and expand once again.
A short while later, a large amount of black smoke billowed out of the crack.
The black smoke covered half the town in just a few seconds.
"Why is it black smoke coming out this time? But something's not right with this smoke." It was Old Zhang who spoke.
"There's something inside." These words were spoken by Lin Qianqian, who was most sensitive to the presence of living beings.
As soon as she finished speaking, the black smoke from half of the town began to shrink towards the center, slowly gathering into a large cloud.
Then two lantern-sized red eyes appeared from the black smoke, and these red eyes observed the space in which they were located for a while.
Then its body elongated, transforming into a worm-like monster thirty or forty meters long and three or four meters in diameter.
Except for its two large red eyes, the rest of its body is composed of black smoke.
After transforming into an insect-like form, it scurried around the streets and alleys of the town.
Let's call it the Black Smoke Bug for now!
At this moment, Yunze also spoke up: "Be careful, this black smoke is not simple."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than screams rang out from the area shrouded in black smoke.
"Oh no, something's happened."
"Look over there!" Chu Zhou pointed to the tablet in his hand, which displayed a video from a surveillance camera.
Everyone else looked at his tablet, except for Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze, who had already known what had happened through their divine senses.
In the northwest corner of the town, the thick black smoke lingered for two or three seconds in the alleyway.
Then the seven soldiers who were lying in ambush there screamed in agony amidst the black smoke.
The black smoke worms did not linger after that. After they flew over, they left behind a skeleton, two unrecognizable bodies whose fates were unknown, and four seriously wounded people rolling around on the ground.
This horrific scene was captured directly by the flying live-streaming equipment and transmitted to the world.
In previous battles against the "jellyfish" and the mantis, although there were casualties, none were as visually brutal as this scene.
The high-definition camera captured this bloody scene clearly, without any blurring or censoring.
Many viewers in front of the screen were so frightened that they closed their eyes, and some reflexively vomited.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian frowned, nodded to Yun Ze, and instantly disappeared from the rooftop, appearing in the alleyway.
She appeared abruptly in front of the wounded soldier, and the live broadcast equipment captured her fleeting moment, allowing the whole world to see it.
Lin Qianqian and her group will definitely make a move in this big battle, so it's inevitable that they'll be exposed to the public.
Instead of hiding it, it's better to be open and honest.
After all, when faced with all sorts of monsters from other dimensions, it's inevitable that some people will feel fear and despair.
However, if everyone were to witness Lin Qianqian and her team's godlike combat prowess, it would greatly inspire people around the world.
Before the viewers could even guess Lin Qianqian's identity, she raised her left hand, and a golden-green light emanated from her palm.
With a wave of his hand, golden and green light split into several parts, landing on the people on the ground.
In an instant, regardless of whether the person was seriously injured or slightly injured, the wounds began to heal visibly.
Within moments, the wounded soldier's light was absorbed, and his wounds were almost completely healed.
However, it's a pity that the body that turned into bones couldn't be saved.
Lin Qianqian now wants to truly bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, which is not impossible, but it is very troublesome to implement and requires a lot of preparation, which is not possible in this situation.
Even so, the viewers watching the live stream were incredibly excited, flooding the screen with comments that instantly overwhelmed the viewer.
"A miracle, a miracle!"
"Good heavens! What country's deity is this? Is it too late for me to go and worship him?"
"Which country's god is that? Look at that Eastern face, he's from our Yan Kingdom!"
"This must be the goddess of life! I'll pray right away and ask for her blessing!"
"My grandfather is also seriously ill. We are praying to the Goddess of Salvation to save his life. Our whole family is willing to worship her for life!"
Lin Qianqian couldn't see the online discussions for the time being, but she suddenly felt a special force constantly converging on her.
She cautiously approached with her divine sense to sense it, and found that the power contained countless mixed desires, which gave her a headache as soon as she got close.
Lin Qianqian recalled Jumang's inheritance and knew that it was the power of faith.
However, she did not intend to follow the path of faith and become a god, so she did not absorb these powers.
But this force grew stronger and stronger, constantly pressing against her.
She was getting annoyed and decided to use her divine power to shatter these forces of faith.
If you accidentally absorb the power of faith, you'll be in trouble; you have to pay the price for what you gain.
To become a god by absorbing the power of faith, she must fulfill the wishes of her believers; otherwise, she will rise and fall because of faith.
When no one believes in you, that is when your divine position collapses and your divine power dissipates.
Therefore, she will not take that path; she prefers to cultivate steadily on her own. Life, divine power, divine position, and the path to divinity are all in her own hands.
Just as she was about to use her divine power to shatter the power of faith, her divine soul in her consciousness lightly waved the Scepter of Life with its right hand. An invisible force emanated from it, passing through the power of faith surrounding her, filtering out the noise of desires within the power of faith.
This power of faith transformed into another kind of pure power.
Then the River of Life in the left hand of the divine soul flickered, and this pure power was absorbed into the River of Life.
The divine soul seemed to have grown slightly stronger as it grasped the River of Life in its left hand.
This operation of the soul only happened in a breath or two, which stunned Lin Qianqian.
She was awakened by the groans of the soldiers on the ground!
Is this even possible?
Only then did she realize that her soul had been bugged, allowing her to absorb a large amount of power without any effort.
However, they were on the battlefield, and she didn't have time to think about it.
She turned to look at the long, thin plume of black smoke disappearing into the distance, her eyes sharpening.
The black smoke worms weren't flying very fast, darting left and right through the town, and were now a kilometer away.
It stopped again because it had spotted prey there.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qianqian's lips twitched, and she uttered a cold remark.
"Ha, whatever you are, die!"
Her divine power surged, and she instantly became extremely solemn.
The Green Wood Sword appeared in her right hand, and she swung it down, unleashing a golden-green sword aura that stretched for tens of meters in an instant, spanning a thousand meters.
Wherever the sword energy passed, everything in its path, including houses, turned to dust.
The sword energy went straight for the black smoke, accurately splitting the black smoke worm in two.
Then, blue wings with gold patterns stretched out from behind Lin Qianqian.
With a flap of her wings, she instantly appeared in front of the black smoke worm that had been cleaved in two by a sword.
Even though the black smoke worms on the ground were split in two, they did not die; instead, they began to turn into smoke again.
Upon seeing Lin Qianqian arrive, the smoke dissipated even faster, as if it knew this person was dangerous and wanted to escape.
Lin Qianqian wasn't going to let it escape. She took out the Yin-Yang Immortal Gourd, twisted it to the right, and then aimed it at the black smoke insect, sucking it in.
Lin Qianqian flipped her hand, and the gourd disappeared.
