Everything happened too quickly.
Fast enough for the cloaked man to still be contemplating what had happened.
Fast enough for Ning Meng to still be staring at Wei Zhi with big eyes.
Quickly enough for Zhou Jing to still be amazed at the wonders of the Phantom Gate.
The incident happened abruptly like that.
The spider demon died bizarrely at the hands of its own people.
"Haha, that's what cooperation is about! Learn from it!"
Gazing at the scattered pieces of spider demons on the ground, the giant Pang Long rubbed his nose and proudly smiled.
"You handle this spider demon first, and I will help Ning Meng!"
Lu Jianian did not hesitate, he decided to use the strategy of Tian Ji's horse race.
First, let's deal with the weakest rat spirit among the locals.
"You dare!"
By this time, the cloaked man had finally realized what had happened.
Ignoring the screaming mantis demon that was still watching, his figure twisted and he immediately roared towards Lu Jianian's direction.
He dared to kill his subordinates in front of him, and he must seek revenge!
"Halt!"
Zha la la, Zhou Jing raised his hand and flicked his wrist, releasing the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain.
This thing isn't suitable for extracting blood from Zhou Jing, but it's perfect for tying up people.
Just as the cloaked figure had moved halfway forward, the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain shot past it from behind, swirling in the air several times, ready to tightly bind the cloaked figure.
"Idiot!"
The cloaked man glared at Lu Jianian with hate, although he wanted to tear him to pieces right now, he had to deal with the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain first!
At the very moment when the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain was about to bind the cloaked man...
The figure of the cloaked man shrank.
A pitch-black small snake suddenly shot out from under the cloaked man's robe, easily evading the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain.
The Chou Niang soul-snatching chain only captured the cloaked man's discarded clothing, and Zhou Jing could only watch as the cloaked man escaped.
"The Chou Niang soul-snatching chain of the ghostly officials, the problem actually lies with you!"
"That's why the ghostly official paid so much attention to you. Who are you?"
The pitch-black small snake circled in the air, its tongue flicking out, its yellow snake eyes staring at Zhou Jing below with a look of fury.
The appearance of the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain connected everything.
Why did the ghostly officials care about Zhou Jing.
Why did they come to the Underworld for a second time?
Everything, everything, is because Zhou Jing is also a ghostly official!
A ghostly official with a human identity!
"No, you have the blood of a demon race. What are you exactly?"
The cloaked man felt for the first time that the development of the situation was beyond his expectations.
Even when encountering You Shi Lu, the cloaked man had never been as restless.
This human woman, what kind of creature is she?
"Who cares about you!"
Zhou Jing did not want to answer the cloaked man's question.
This question is hard to answer.
Do I answer that I'm not a thing?
Or answer that I'm some kind of thing?
No matter how you listen, it doesn't sound good.
"You're the one who's a thing!"
Zhou Jing replied with a single phrase, and again threw out the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain.
This time, Zhou Jing did not wait for the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain to take effect, but instead held onto the end of the chain and allowed it to pull him up.
Zhou · Spider-Man · Jing!
The front end of the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain quickly flew in front of the pitch-black snake, wrapping tightly around its body.
But the snake's body was too thin.
The snake's body was less than a meter long, and its head was only the size of an adult's thumb.
The Chou Niang soul-snatching chain unfortunately missed again.
But Zhou Jing never expected much from the Chou Niang soul-snatching chain. She just needed to use its power to get close to the small snake.
Swish!
Golden blade light shot out from the golden-backed crescent knife.
Zhou Jing slashed ten times in the air, sending ten golden blade lights towards the pitch-black snake.
"You're courting death!"
The snake's tongue spat out wildly, and in the instant when the blade light was about to hit it, the snake's body expanded, and it turned back into the cloaked man's form in an eye blink.
Then the cloaked man swung the double-edged knives in his hands, easily dispersing all the blade lights in the sky.
It was during the momentary lull between the cloaked man and Zhou Jing's trembling.
Lu Jianian took advantage of the moment and rushed to Ning Meng's side.
In Wei Zhi's terrified eyes, Lu Jianian showed no hesitation, directly summoning a firestorm that enveloped Wei Zhi.
To deal with a low-grade third-tier spider demon, Lu Jianian needs to condense the energy into a point.
But against a common fifth-tier Wei Zhi, Lu Jianian doesn't need to put much effort, a single firestorm is enough.
"Boss, save..."
Wei Zhi only had time to emit a final scream, and his rodent body was set ablaze by the flames, instantly turning into a pile of ashes on the ground.
"Damn it!"
The cloaked man couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Wei Zhi, just seeing Wei Zhi being turned into ashes by the flames.
It was during this moment of distraction for the cloaked man that Zhou Jing took the opportunity to cut a blade into him.
This time, the golden-backed crescent knife struck the cloaked man's body without making the usual sound of metal clashing, instead straight into the cloaked man's body, leaving a one-finger-wide bloodstain on his body.
[360 days of life deducted. The artifact Golden-Backed Crescent Knife has evolved successfully and unlocked the treasure Golden-Backed Small Round Knife.]
One's cultivation can't be caught up with.
But the sharpness of the weapon can catch up!
It's just life, take it!
A mere year of life for a weapon that can wound the cloaked man.
This deal is profitable!
Wielding the Golden-Backed Small Round Knife, Zhou Jing became bolder and braver with each swing.
Under the successive blows and the shock of his unexpected defense being broken, the cloaked man...
The fluid and coherent techniques that were once perfectly integrated began to show frequent mistakes, and he started to retreat from Zhou Jing's blows, gaining several new wounds.
"There's one left!"
Lu Jianian, accompanied by Ning Meng, returned to the giant Pang Long's side. The three of them surrounded the last mantis demon in a tight circle.
"Hurry up and deal with this creature, then go help Zhou Jing!"
Giant Pang Long smiled and grabbed the insect demon with his massive hand, which looked like a fan.
The mantis demon tried to resist, but as soon as he raised his double-edged scythe, his eyes were filled with countless bubbles.
As an insect, as a mantis demon with two pairs of compound eyes.
Ning Meng's bubble formation is almost a countermeasure.
In the thousands of tiny eyes, there are all miniatures of bubbles.
And in each bubble, there are all reflections of Giant Pang Long.
This is equivalent to having thousands of Giant Pang Longs in the mantis demon's eyes, which is impossible to defend against!
In front of the almost blind mantis demon, Giant Pang Long and Lu Jianian didn't even need to dodge. They stood in front of the mantis demon quite carelessly.
"Kill or capture? Or capture, at least there will be a living witness."
Giant Pang Long scratched his head.
"I didn't expect the bubbles to be so deadly to insects. Remember to write this down in the employee manual later."
Lu Jianian looked at the struggling mantis demon in front of him and stroked his chin.
"Okay!"
Ning Meng nodded blankly in response.
She didn't expect her bubbles to be so effective.
I will definitely talk about this with Liang Qing and Wan Shan later!
