Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1604: Ghost Mantis
Roar... Roar... Roar...
A series of earth-shaking roars.
One after another, the four-colored flame wandering dragons surged out ferociously.
The hundred-meter long dragons, meandering down, instantly dispersed a large area of poison around them.
Within a thousand meters, Xiao Yi regained his sight.
However, the figure of the Poison Robe had already disappeared, leaving no trace.
Of course, Xiao Yi couldn’t believe that the Poison Robe had left.
The Poison Robe was somewhere within this ten-thousand-mile poisonous area.
Zi... Zi... Zi...
Just as Xiao Yi was observing the surroundings, a series of zizzi sounds startled him suddenly.
Several gigantic flame wandering dragons were stuck to by dense poisonous insects.
The poisonous insects clung to the flame dragons, not fearing the high-temperature scorch of the flames in the slightest.
These poisonous insects were not very big, only about the size of a finger.
Their bodies were crimson, with a pair of wings on their backs.
Under their long bodies, the most noticeable feature was the pair of fangs in their mouths.
The fangs were sinking fiercely into the flame dragons.
The fangs were unaffected by the high-temperature flames; instead, the aura of the flame dragons was continuously decreasing.
These poisonous insects were actually ’devouring’ the flames.
"What bizarre poisonous insects." Xiao Yi was taken aback.
Almost as soon as he realized the situation, tens of thousands of poisonous insects around had already devoured several flame dragons entirely.
The next second, countless poisonous insects charged straight at Xiao Yi.
"Courting death." Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, and both his hands struck out.
On the Beast Hands, black scales with specks of red light surged.
The explosive power contained in these Beast Hands was absolutely astonishing.
Hiss...
A poisonous insect attacked first, biting at Xiao Yi’s arm.
However, Xiao Yi’s arm remained completely unharmed.
Instead, the pair of fangs on the poisonous insect broke with a crash.
The scale armor of the Beast Hands was so hard.
Xiao Yi slapped down, capturing a poisonous insect.
With a squeeze of his palm,
the whole poisonous insect instantly turned into powder; a large amount of black blood oozed from the insect’s body and dripped from Xiao Yi’s hand to the ground.
Zi... Zi... Zi...
The black blood corroded the ground entirely where it fell.
The blood of these poisonous insects also contained a terrifying poison.
If bitten by them, even a supreme expert might die.
Whish... Whish... Whish...
Xiao Yi’s palms moved swiftly.
Bang...
A surge of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power spread all around.
The Purple Flame Domain emerged instantly.
A Tiger Form Illusion instantly fell into the Purple Flame Domain.
Xiao Yi’s hands suddenly turned into claws.
These were beast claws, but the flames wrapping around them turned into tiger claws.
Under the tiger claws, the surroundings were defended tightly.
Xiao Yi’s figure moved rapidly, and his hands, too, swung quickly.
Although the poisonous insects swarmed densely, they couldn’t get within inches of Xiao Yi’s body.
The sharpness of the beast claws and the ferocity of the tiger claws harvested the lives of these poisonous insects almost every second.
Though the poisonous insects were bizarre and fearless of the world’s fierce flames,
their bodies were still no match for the sharpness of the beast claws.
Despite the vast number of poisonous insects swarming densely,
they couldn’t match Xiao Yi’s Xingyi Five Extremes.
However...
Xiao Yi frowned.
The number of these poisonous insects was so alarming that they could wear him down to death.
Furthermore, with his current domain, he couldn’t sustain the ’Tiger Form’ True Intent for long.
The Five Extremes True Intent was clearly far stronger than ordinary ’Thousand Fire True Intent’ and the like.
The strength of the domain wasn’t enough to hold out for long and might even collapse along with the domain.
While resisting, Xiao Yi kept thinking of a countermeasure.
The Poison Robe, a strong expert at this level, was by no means someone he could deal with now.
The martial arts that the Poison Robe mastered were at least over 9998 dao.
Meaning his strength was at least on par with Lin Xiao, perhaps even stronger.
In addition to his various strange methods, his danger level was far above that of Lin Xiao.
Beyond the supreme level, every complete martial art exceeds a gap that is almost like mud and cloud.
The gap between himself and him was unimaginably large.
Xiao Yi pondered.
Suddenly, a chill rushed into his heart.
Almost in an instant, a sense of imminent threat surged into his mind.
"Not good."
Xiao Yi whispered to himself.
His hands were busy warding off the poisonous insects and couldn’t spare a hand.
Whish...
A terrifying figure with a ghastly face appeared instantly behind him.
It was the Fog Demon.
However, just as the Fog Demon struck, a swift eerie shadow had already flashed by.
The Fog Demon was instantly dismembered, sliced into two.
Xiao Yi’s body barely retreated, and his arm trembled.
The eerie shadow that should’ve slashed at Xiao Yi’s waist,
was halted by his retreat, slashing at Xiao Yi’s arm instead.
No... it didn’t succeed in slashing.
Because Xiao Yi’s arm blocked the eerie shadow.
The eerie shadow collided with Xiao Yi’s Beast Hand scale armor, producing a ’clang’ sound.
"Hmm? What’s this?" When Xiao Yi saw the eerie shadow on his arm clearly, his pupils contracted sharply.
His reaction was quick as well, slapping with one hand.
The eerie shadow was smacked away immediately.
"The Ghost Mantis, leader of Ten Thousand Poisons?" Xiao Yi was indeed startled.
He glanced back at the Fog Demon that had been ’slashed’ in half.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Yi quickly asked.
The Fog Demon, having been with him for so long, was far more than a random evil creature he subdued in the Mist Dangerous Land back in the day.
In Xiao Yi’s heart, the Fog Demon was a constant companion.
"Master... I’m fine." The Fog Demon’s ability to speak wasn’t as awkward as before.
The Fog Demon, sliced in half, surged and returned to normal.
Being an ethereal thing, it wasn’t afraid of being severed.
"Return to the Wind Saint Pot." Xiao Yi instructed.
Whish... The Fog Demon obeyed and vanished into thin air.
Seeing the Fog Demon unharmed, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, his gaze turned colder, staring straight ahead.
The surrounding poisonous insects had disappeared.
In front, the figure of the Poison Robe reappeared.
Xiao Yi distinctly noticed the previously crushed poisonous insects whose black blood flowed all over.
But now, even the black blood on the ground was gone.
Poison Robe raised one hand.
On his arm, that ’eerie shadow’ lay quietly.
With his other hand, Poison Robe gently stroked the ’eerie shadow’s’ little head.
The eerie shadow, not large either, only about two fingers long.
Its whole body was gray-green, with jet-black eyes, and eyes that seemed to exude a cold indifference toward all things.
Although the hands were small, they were sharp, much like a lethal scythe.
That was the Ghost Mantis.
There were many poisonous creatures in the world, like the Snake Spider Ant Beast and others.
But among the myriad of poisonous fogs, only the Ghost Mantis was famed for its ferocity, feared as the leader of all poisons.
The only attack method of the Ghost Mantis was its scythe-like hands.
The hands were extremely sharp, even more so than a Divine Weapon.
Even a mid-grade Holy Artifact might snap just upon contact with those hands.
The Ghost Mantis fed on poison.
Thus, its body also contained terrifying poison.
According to records, one of its most astonishing feats was when a renowned supreme expert attempted to capture the Ghost Mantis.
But the result was just a slight skin cut by the Ghost Mantis, and within a few breaths, the poison spread throughout the body, causing the person’s body to turn cold and die within seconds.

Second update.
