Chapter 3154: Storming Panlongcheng!

It was just that this time the long spear expanded at extreme speed during its descent, and by the time it pierced the giant beast's hind neck, its length had already exceeded five zhang.

It obeyed its master's intent, performing a circular cut around the giant beast's neck.

Fresh blood sprayed wildly once more, instantly dyeing the moat green.

Under normal circumstances, even if the giant beast suffered such severe wounds, the mantis swarm could still deliver captured energy to it — the wound would be horrific but not fatal. But the long spear gave its thick neck a full circular cut, leaving only a sliver of bone connected in the middle. Immediately afterward, the Red General herself crashed onto its head like a counterweight. With a cracking boom, this giant beast that had stood immovable no matter how the Sea Emperor Xuandu and the Heavenly Demons attacked, was actually decapitated so cleanly!

Two Mengdu giant beasts, one killed, one remaining.

But the Red General had just leaped out of the river when Grand Suman's voice transmission arrived:

"We must hurry and kill that swarm of mantis monsters too. Otherwise, relying on the lifeline, that giant beast will revive very soon."

The Life Ancient God's creations are not so easily killed.

"Understood." The Red General had killed the giant beast first only to temporarily relieve the crisis at the city walls. Now she turned her gaze back to the mantis monster swarm.

Zhao Mandou murmured, "If Jiuyou were here, it would be easy."

The Fate Godhead is especially useful for analyzing this kind of associative talent and divine arts. The two Mengdu beasts share life and transfer energy, so there is a very clear causal line between them. If Jiuyou were here, perhaps he could sever the link between them without much effort.

"No need." There are no ifs in anything; the Red General must use her own method to deal with this pair of Mengdu beasts.

Ever since these two Mengdu beasts appeared, the Red General had been using the power of death to observe their life energy.

Several hundred mantis monsters were basically cast from the same mold, and now they swarmed the city in dense masses, dizzying to the eye. But the Red General had a plan: Dong Rui had said that this kind of numerous insect yaoguai basically exist in clan groups. That is to say, there is a leader among them.

This is a biological law.

And the leader hides within the clan. So the Red General reset her target — she needed to find the one with the most powerful and purest life energy! All others she ignored completely.

Filtering this way made it very easy.

Good, found it.

One pick in several hundred li — only one mantis monster shone glittering in her vision.

This guy was completely identical to the other mantis monsters — whether in size, color, or appearance, there was nothing outstanding about it. If not for the Red General's special talent, it would have been impossible to distinguish it from the mantis swarm.

These things flew all over the sky at bizarre speed, but once the Red General locked onto it, her next strike was to transform into Lei Ting and directly cleave it in two! Fast, accurate, ruthless — absolutely no hesitation.

At this moment the other giant beast had already been beheaded; the mantis monsters could no longer draw life force from it. Thus, with the leader's death, the other mantis monsters also fell to the ground one after another, lifeless.

Naturally the giant beast could no longer revive either.

The Mengdu beasts created by the Life Ancient God had harvested countless Heavenly Demons' lives before the Ancient Era. But in the Red General's hands, they actually couldn't survive even half a quarter-hour.

But her action also came at a cost — that she left the Tian Sheng Bridge she had held for so long.

Originally, with her guarding Panlongcheng, ten thousand men could not force entry.

But when she left the Tian Sheng Bridge to pursue the mantis monster leader, a streak of clear light silently emerged from a ground fissure and rushed straight for Panlongcheng. The Red General looked back. But before she could chase after it, this light had already flown past the Tian Sheng Bridge and rushed toward the city gate.

The Lingxu Saint Venerable's avatar charged the city!

This third streak of green light was not a monster; its appearance was exactly the same as the Lingxu Saint Venerable's avatar that He Lingchuan had just struck into charcoal.

In the Red General's eyes, the life energy on him was far more abundant than the previous few, but still had not reached an earth-shaking degree, so this was still an avatar.

Although the Lingxu Saint Venerable's main focus was on destroying the Boundless Laws, he also constantly monitored the battles within the War Alliance.

He used two Mengdu beasts to divert the Red General's attention; for the Red General to kill the mantis monster leader flying everywhere, she would inevitably leave the Tian Sheng Bridge, and the avatar seized the opening.

Chi had already prepared to face the Black Dragon Totem head-on and forcefully attack the Chengnan main gate.

This famous historical city, whether in the past or present, is a destined formidable enemy to the Heavenly Demons. No matter which time the She launched a major operation against the human world, they would find Panlongcheng blocking the way.

Panlongcheng's strength and solidity have long enjoyed a great reputation;

But the Lingxu Saint Venerable's ruthlessness and determination to never stop until his goal is achieved are also known to all in the Heavenly Realm;

Moreover, Panlongcheng represents the Death God's territory here, represents the Great Fanghu's defense — it would not easily yield to Chi. But the Lingxu Saint Venerable's avatar dared charge straight in, meaning he had confidence to deal with this famous city.

Just as Chi transformed into a meteor, preparing to clash head-on with Panlongcheng's south gate, he discovered the city gate had opened a crack outward, no longer shut tight like a clamshell.

There was even light spilling out from inside.

Huh? The main gate actually opened?

The Lingxu Saint Venerable avatar's first reaction: this is a trap, right?

The Red General also learned from Chi's example — blatantly setting a trap, just waiting for the enemy to brace themselves and jump in, right?

Enter, or not enter?

Nonsense, of course enter!

Panlongcheng's south main gate is no easy opening; for Chi to breach it with his own hands would take tremendous effort. Even if there are a pile of mechanisms, traps, and snares behind the door, they would inevitably be triggered one by one. Even if he hasn't fought them before, the Lingxu Saint Venerable would at most lose one avatar — what is there to fear?

So Chi hesitated for less than half a breath at the open door crack before plunging straight in.

Also because of this unexpected event, the many backup plans the She had pre-buried outside the city could not be used.

For siege warfare, Chi actually had a series of deployments.

"Chi entered the city." Seeing this, Zhao Mandou actually breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Red General, "You come in too."

"Mm." The Red General shook the Ying Lei Spear, transformed into Lei Ting, and flashed directly from outside the city into the interior, leaving only one sentence for the little stone man: "Outside is left to you."

After the Lingxu Saint Venerable avatar entered the city, the Nancheng main gate was about to close, but as Xiu passed the doorway he threw down a round ball; upon landing it went bang and rapidly expanded, turning into a thorn ball over one zhang in diameter.

The main gate tried to shut, but the thorn ball expanded outward, instantly propping the door open.

This thing was both tough and swollen; even with the Nancheng main gate's closing force, there was no way to flatten it completely.

And the thorns on the ball rapidly spread across both door panels, covering a large area in just a few breaths, while simultaneously expanding toward the hinge direction — actually trying to assimilate the Nancheng main gate!

The Black Dragon Totem slithered over, clearing the thorns on the gate while spraying black fierce flames at this ball.

Its dragon breath — melting steel and scorching gold are trifles.

But this thing left by the Lingxu Saint Venerable also caught fire, burning fiercely, yet it just kept growing while enduring the intense flames!
