The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 2210 Who is the Mantis?

Almost at the same instant, the other four Tibetan monks also moved!

With a deafening roar, a blinding flash of light erupted in front of them! A blinding white light filled their vision, instantly rendering them blind! They could see nothing at all!

What followed was a deafening roar, and then the room was filled with white smoke!
Fog Concealing Crimson Flame Bullet?
White smoke instantly filled the entire space, except for the transparent bell-shaped enclosure around Feng Jiuxiao, where there was a vacuum within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), creating a stark contrast with the surrounding area!
Losang and several Tibetan youths were startled and turned pale!
This is so sudden!

Feng Jiuxiao waved his large sleeves several times, and the white smoke quickly dissipated.

The five Tibetan monks have vanished without a trace!

Yuan Zishan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why didn't you make a move?" She knew that with Feng Jiuxiao's strength, even if those five Tibetan monks were faster, they wouldn't be able to escape his grasp. So she was very curious as to why he let those five Tibetan monks escape!
Feng Jiuxiao said, "This is a place to eat. If I make a scene, it will affect your appetite, and it will also make a mess of the place, which will affect Mr. Losang's business. Mr. Losang is so hospitable, how can I let him down?"

Losang immediately bowed, looking extremely grateful and apprehensive: "Oh, thank you so much, young master!" He hadn't expected that the other party was actually thinking of him!

And that was indeed the case. If these people really died on his turf, it would be bad luck! Not to mention affecting his business, it would at least be difficult to explain to the Holy Venerable!
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly, "Besides, they won't go far, so we can make our move anytime."

Yuan Zishan was taken aback, her eyes flickering: "They won't have gone far? Could they be waiting for someone? Waiting for the Holy Venerable?"

"Excellent! It has to be you, you're incredibly intelligent!"

"Stop talking nonsense! The Holy Venerable really can come? In a one-on-one fight, he can't even beat you, let alone face so many of us. Has his brain rusted?"

"He's not stupid. The real reason he dared to come is probably because of the White Emperor!"

"He came here also for the colored eggs?"

"Otherwise what? Every martial artist wants to prove their Dao through martial arts and step into the Celestial Realm. The Holy Venerable must have already colluded with the White Emperor!"

"Then why didn't they go to the island in the middle of the lake to make their move sooner? Why did they have to wait for us to be the mantis, so they could have a sneak attack?"

"Now that I think about it, I guess they didn't necessarily want to use us as the mantis. What if we got there first and snatched the colorful eggs? Wouldn't they have ended up with nothing? They didn't make a move back then because they couldn't find a suitable opportunity! At first, they thought Yinglong was the cicada and themselves were the mantis. They didn't expect Yinglong, the cicada, to be so much stronger than they anticipated. So they could only wait for an opportunity. But they didn't expect that we would actually get there first, and they would have to play the little oriole!"

"You mean that Yinglong's combat power is too terrifying, which is why they didn't dare to make a direct move?"

"Yes! Yinglong's combat power is too strong! Even if they eventually kill Yinglong, they will be severely injured, either dead or crippled! So our appearance is both an accident and exactly what they wanted!"

Yuan Zishan nodded, "Yes, you're right. Our appearance has just become the role of the mantis, indirectly helping them avoid a direct confrontation with Yinglong!"

She recalled Yinglong's earth-shattering roar, which overturned the entire scene and killed all the martial arts masters within a radius of several miles! This heaven-defying combat power was terrifying beyond measure!
If Feng Jiuxiao hadn't timely used his willpower to create an ice wall that blocked the indestructible sonic attack, even with three times the strength of Liuli, he would still have been severely injured!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Things are unpredictable. We became their unexpected surprise, while the water monster Mingyuan became our unexpected surprise! If the water monster hadn't unexpectedly awakened and fought Yinglong to the point of mutual destruction, we wouldn't have been able to reap the benefits so easily!"

In a sense, Feng Jiuxiao and the others are the mantises of the Holy Venerable and the White Emperor, while the water monster Mingyuan is the mantis of Feng Jiuxiao and the others.

From Feng Jiuxiao's perspective, Yinglong and the water monster are like a crane and a clam, while Feng Jiuxiao is like a fisherman.

However, from the perspective of the White Emperor and the Holy Venerable, Yinglong and Feng Jiuxiao are respectively the crane and the clam, while the White Emperor and the Holy Venerable are the fishermen. This is because the White Emperor and the Holy Venerable are unaware of the existence of the water monster, Mingyuan!

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flickered: "So this information gap gave the Holy Venerable an idea! He felt he was capable again!"

Yuan Zishan's eyes shone like stars. "What kind of mischievous idea do you have now?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled but didn't respond. He continued, "Since the White Emperor and the Holy Venerable don't know about the existence of the Water Monster Mingyuan, they must think that we've already fought a great battle with Yinglong. Although we won by 'luck,' it was a pyrrhic victory. In their minds, I'm probably still in terrible condition! So, they think their opportunity has come!"

Yuan Zishan said, "I also saw Yinglong fighting the water monster. Although it is strong, surely we, seven or eight people working together, can't defeat it?"

Feng Jiuxiao pondered for a moment, “Actually, Yinglong’s combat strength is no weaker than Qinglong’s! You have witnessed Qinglong’s strength. Even the Demon Lord, who is close to the Celestial Realm, was almost defeated. How much more so for me, who has not yet reached the Celestial Realm! Even if we join forces to defeat Yinglong, we will suffer heavy losses! Moreover, Yinglong is a divine beast that descended from the heavens. Killing it is an ominous sign!”

Yuan Zishan nodded, and couldn't help but sigh.
Auspicious omens descended from the sky, yet he died at the hands of a water monster!
Strictly speaking, Yinglong should have died from the combined attack of the water monster and the heroes of the Central Plains martial arts world!

If those martial arts masters hadn't been so eager to land on the island and seize the eggs, forcing Yinglong into a corner, it would have had to use its last ounce of strength to eliminate all threats around it in order to protect the colorful eggs! The result was mutual destruction! It wasn't even a Pyrrhic victory!

Otherwise, it could at least survive, but whether it could live for thousands or tens of thousands of years is unknown.

What a pity, such an auspicious mythical beast has vanished from the world!
Even more regrettable is that the martial arts world in the Central Plains suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out!
The battle in Shanghai resulted in heavy losses for the martial arts world of the Central Plains! Countless masters were swallowed up by the army of living corpses!

The survivors gathered at Qinghai Lake, only to be met with another devastating blow from a raging dragon's roar, resulting in almost complete annihilation!

The cycle of karma is real!

Fifty years ago, the Demon Lord swept through the Central Plains martial arts world, causing the Central Plains martial arts world to suffer its first major blow!
In addition, the battle at Qinghai Lake resulted in the complete annihilation of some minor sects!
Some prestigious sects have suffered these two heavy blows and may not be able to recover within ten years!
As the saying goes, a thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, and ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree.

The decline of the old powers means that new powers are about to rise.

The sun will always rise.

Yuan Zishan suddenly smiled.

She looked at Feng Jiuxiao, picked up the copper bowl, and smiled radiantly: "Come on, let's clink glasses!"

Feng Jiuxiao also picked up the copper bowl and laughed, "Why are you suddenly so happy?"

Yuan Zishan laughed and said, "I can't help but laugh whenever I think about what you said about the mantis stalking the cicada!"

"why?"

"The Holy One thought you were the praying mantis, but now you're here lying in wait, waiting for him to take the bait. Tell me, which of you two is the praying mantis?"

"Of course he's the praying mantis! I'm the oriole that eats praying mantises! I'm also the spider that spins its web, and he's the flying insect that walks right into the trap! I'm also the hunter who waits for his prey to run into the tree stump, and he's just that silly rabbit that only knows how to run into the tree!"

Yuan Zishan couldn't help but giggle, her beauty captivating, and Feng Jiuxiao was mesmerized by her.
