Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 2 Qingfeng Mantis, First Soul Ring

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong arrived at the back mountain.

Chen Xin sensed it for a moment, then frowned and said:
"This sword energy truly belongs to a banished immortal."

Ning Fengzhi smelled a faint scent of alcohol in the air.

He sighed.

"The immortal's room is now empty."

"It contains the money he has saved up over the past six years."

"This child seems to have a rebellious personality, but he is actually quite arrogant."

“Rongrong’s words were unacceptable to him, so he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.”

Gu Rong shook his head and said:
Arrogance without competence is nothing but a joke.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

This clearly indicates that they agree with what Gu Rong said.

Chen Xin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He didn't want to see Li Zhexian become depressed.

After all, he had once regarded him as his successor.

In his opinion.

A true swordsman cannot drink alcohol.

How can a drunkard hold a sword steady?
Chen Xin turned away with a flick of his sleeve, and said angrily:
"Those who drown their sorrows in alcohol will never amount to anything!"

Just then, a beautiful figure ran towards them.

"Dad, has Brother Immortal left the sect?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said:

"The banished immortal suffered a great blow."

"Rongrong, if we ever meet again, remember to make it up to the Immortal."

Ning Rongrong nodded with a complicated expression.

However, she felt that it would be difficult for her to meet Li Zhexian again in the future.

She's going to Shrek Academy, which is known for only accepting monsters.

Li Zhexian was destined for a mediocre life.

"Let's go, Dad."

Just as he was about to turn and leave.

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt as if she was stepping on something.

Lower your head and lift your feet.

A small clay sword, split in two, came into view.

……

On the winding road.

Li Zhexian rode a spirit beast called the Cloud Hoof Horse, occasionally tilting his head back to take a sip of wine.

He looked travel-worn, his white shirt stained with dust, and his long hair, hanging down on both sides of his forehead, was matted from not being washed for so long.

He looked quite disheveled.

But don't say it.

Yet he also possessed a touch of the air of a young wanderer in the martial arts world.

Li Zhexian's purpose for this trip is the Starry Sky Forest.

He currently has level 20 soul power, but he doesn't even have a single soul ring yet.

A few days later.

Li Zhexian finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tread-

The sound of footsteps crunching on leaves rang out.

Even just the outer perimeter is enough to block out the sky and the sun.

Although it was daytime, visibility was poor, and all that could be seen was overgrown vegetation, with the air filled with the smells of grass and decay.

There was a rustling sound from time to time in the bushes that were taller than a person.

"Fortunately, during the six years that my soul power was stagnant, I learned a lot about soul beasts."

Li Zhexian scanned the dense shrubbery around him.

"The Azure Mantis has forelimbs like swords and is extremely fast!"

"As the saying goes, speed is the ultimate weapon in martial arts. My Azure Lotus Sword Martial Soul must achieve the ultimate speed and attack!"

It took half a day.

Li Zhexian dodged the attacks of several soul beasts.

Finally, the target was found.

In the lush jungle, on a towering tree.

A giant praying mantis with a slender body and a metallic sheen on its dark green carapace lay on the ground.

On its triangular head, a pair of compound eyes, like amber, and forelimbs shaped like two sharp sword blades, folded in front of its chest.

Li Zhexian secretly observed the green-sharp mantis.

"A century-old Green-skinned Mantis has a green carapace."

"This mantis has almost turned black, and it's probably not far from reaching its thousand-year lifespan."

Li Zhexian's eyes flickered.

"Far exceeding the limit that the first spirit ring can absorb."

"Furthermore, the Azure Mantis is extremely strong in actual combat. This Azure Mantis is nearly a thousand years old, and even a level 30 Battle Soul Venerable would not be confident of defeating it."

He's ready to look for another target.

Since I don't even have a Soul Ring skill, it's not a wise move to fight them head-on.

Just as Li Zhexian was preparing to leave.

Suddenly a buzzing sound rang out.

Another blue-toothed mantis landed on the giant tree.

This Green-Eyed Mantis is also dark green, but it is twice the size of the first Green-Eyed Mantis.

Li Zhexian asked in surprise and doubt:

"This is... a female blue-toothed mantis?!" Insects are different from animals.

The male animal is larger.

In contrast, female insects are larger than male insects.

Li Zhexian was curious about what the female praying mantis was doing flying over there.

Followed by.

He then saw the male praying mantis perched on the female praying mantis.

Li Zhexian: "..."

He picked up the celadon gourd hanging from his waist.

He gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Li Zhexian is not leaving.

He's not a pervert.

Instead, I suddenly remembered a habit of the praying mantis.

In the dense bushes.

Li Zhexian hid among them.

On a towering tree a dozen or so feet away from him, two blue-toothed mantises were huddled together.

About half an hour later.

The male mantis suddenly pulled out its tail organ and spread its wings to fly into the sky.

But the female Green-horned Mantis had anticipated this.

It suddenly turned around, and its blade slashed out with such speed that it tore through the air, hooking fiercely into the male mantis's chest and abdomen.

Green blood spurted out.

Li Zhexian's eyes lit up when he saw this.

He's been waiting for this moment!
After mating, the female praying mantis will eat the male!
Male praying mantises generally won't just sit and wait to die!
Therefore, they are bound to fight!
"Such a great opportunity is right in front of me."

"Even if it exceeds the limit of soul ring absorption, I will give it a try."

Six years of silence.

Let Li Zhexian understand the value of being able to become stronger.

He needs to seize the opportunity.

With this thought in mind, Li Zhexian looked at the two green mantises fighting each other.

The intense pain aroused the male praying mantis's ferocity.

It hissed and turned around, its blade as fast as lightning, attacking the female mantis's head.

The female praying mantis drew her sword and held it in front of her, crossing it to block.

when--!
The two swords clashed, producing a metallic sound.

Whizzing--

Whizzing--

Two praying mantises flapped their wings and took flight.

A violent collision in mid-air.

With Li Zhexian's eyesight, he could only see two dark green lightning bolts colliding wildly.

"Thank goodness I didn't act rashly!"

"The fighting power of the Azure Mantis is truly terrifying!"

"A level 30 Battle Soul Master could be instantly killed if he's not careful!"

Li Zhexian drank one sip after another.

The Wine Martial Soul is a full-power Martial Soul of the same level as the Azure Lotus Sword.

Although it wasn't equipped with any spirit rings, it still possessed an incredible effect.

In addition to enhancing soul power and healing injuries.

The more Li Zhexian drank, the sharper his Azure Lotus Sword became.

The sword and wine spirits complement each other.

The wine goes down his throat.

The lotus pattern on the Green Lotus Sword in Li Zhexian's hand slowly bloomed.

An astonishingly sharp aura erupted forth.

The sound of metal and stone clanging together was incessant.

Limbs and broken wings continued to fall.

Several dozen breaths later.

bang——

The male praying mantis fell from the sky.

The female praying mantis followed suit and fell down.

It won.

But he was seriously injured.

One compound eye was cut off, the blade was broken in half, and there was a large gash in the slender neck from which thick, green blood flowed.

It came to the male mantis's corpse.

They devoured their spoils.

As the male praying mantis is swallowed, its dark green carapace gradually turns deep black.

The female Azure Mantis is advancing towards the realm of a Millennium Soul Beast!
And just as it was engrossed in eating...

Om-!
A flash of sword light suddenly appeared.

In the dim forest, a blinding, cold light suddenly appeared.

The female green-lipped praying mantis froze as it began to bite.

next second.

Green blood splattered.

The female green-sharp praying mantis is severed in two at the neck.

A pale purple spirit ring rose from its corpse...
