I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 393

Chapter 393 - Unleashing of Opportunities

Just as Xiang Yun's expression changed greatly, the golden mantis that was clinging onto the Iron Armor Rhino's back slowly rose into the air like a speck of dust in the darkness of the night.

The golden mantis soared all the way up into the sky. Under Xiang Yun's gaze, it flew all the way to the southwest of the great array. The golden mantis gently caressed the air with its golden 'great sabers', at the same time, a heart-palpitating energy slowly spread out!

"This is bad!" Quick, fire the signal detonator towards the southwest, quick! "

Xiang Yun sensed that something was wrong and immediately cried out in alarm. The people in the formation did not know what was going on, but the Snow Wolf Cavalry soldiers immediately followed the order and shot over ten signal bombs towards the southeast!

Bi Hongzhang, Ma Ying, Zhu Kai, and Qi Haowei immediately surrounded him!

"Your Highness, what happened?" When the crowd saw Xiang Yun's incredibly ugly expression, they immediately realized that something had happened. They followed Xiang Yun's gaze to the southwest sky!

At this very moment, there was no need for Xiang Yun to explain any further. Before the signal detonator had the chance to explode, a golden dot of light suddenly bloomed in the air, radiating with a resplendent golden light!

Soon after, an enormous golden shadow gathered in the air. Its body was like a jade pillar holding up the sky. It was the shadow of a golden mantis, floating in the air like an enormous statue.

However, the moment this statue appeared, it abruptly raised up a pair of enormous forelimbs in front of it. Like two dazzling and sharp golden blades that could split the sky, it slashed down towards the great defensive formation of the Western Lion Country!

"Swish!"

With an incomparably sharp hiss, under everyone's astonished gaze, the golden mantis's forelimbs broke through the defensive power of the large array and inserted itself into the large array's light barrier!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the golden mantis's majestic aura finally erupted like a flood, spreading to the entire world in an instant!

At this moment, Bi Hongzhang, Ma Ying, Zhu Kai, and Qi Haowei's faces all changed at the same time!

Bi Hongzhang's eyes widened like copper bells as he exclaimed, "This is a Golden-backed Mantis! This aura, could it be a king level Golden-backed Mantis?!"

"King Class!"

Upon hearing these two words, all the civilians and soldiers within the defensive array revealed looks of horror!

The 'king level cloud beasts' were equivalent to the experts of the Earth Cloud Realm. No, it should be an existence that was even stronger than the Earth Cloud Realm humans. Their tyrannical physical bodies and innate abilities were not something humans could compare with.

For a moment, everyone's faces turned pale as they felt fear and despair spread through them. If the Western Lion County was destroyed and they were trapped in the center of the beast tide, then the only road left for them would be death!

"That's not right!"

At this moment, only Xiang Yun, who had noticed this Golden-backed Mantis from the start, remained calm! Hearing Xiang Yun's words, everyone turned to look at him.

"Although the aura of this Golden-backed Mantis is strong, it hasn't truly reached the level of a king level cloud beast. However, this aura is infinitely close to that of a king level beast. It should be at the peak of the general level, half-step into the ranks of king level cloud beasts!"

Xiang Yun had once entered the Silvermoon Forest, and had even stayed on the Devouring Spirit Bug for a very long time. Xiang Yun had personally seen the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion break through to the king level, so he had a deep impression of the beast's aura.

Even so, they did not rejoice at all because the phantom of the Golden-backed Mantis was already inserted into the formation!

At this moment, it was obvious that they had also discovered the terrifying existence that had suddenly appeared within the beast tide in the Western Lion Country.

The concentrated Cloud Crystal Cannons that were filled with arrows were like a violent storm as they bombarded the gigantic simulacrum of the Golden-Back Mantis!

"Rumble!"

The continuous sounds of explosions rang out and the dark night was reflected into day. The Gold Back Mantis' figure lit up with a dazzling brilliance and its body began to tremble violently!

"Hiss!"

Seemingly enraged by the continuous barrage of attacks, the Golden-Back Mantis raised its head and let out an angry hiss. Its forelimbs that had been inserted into the formation suddenly emitted two rays of golden light, and immediately after, a tremendous burst of power erupted!

"Rip!"

Amidst the piercing sound, the Golden-Back Mantis slashed down brazenly, ripping apart the light curtain. There was a long gash that was almost ten Zhang in height and ten feet in width, like a crack in a valley!

Only then did the Golden-Back Mantis abruptly retract its forelimbs. With its arms crossed in front of its body, the dense barrage of gunfire instantly exploded on its forelimbs, but was unable to harm its body in the slightest!

"Hiss!" At this moment, the Golden-backed Mantis suddenly let out an excited hiss.

Shortly after, the cloud beasts seemed to have received an order. They stopped their attacks and started to move in a certain direction. This was the crack in the formation that was split open by the beast wave.

The Golden-Back Mantis flapped its large translucent wings in excitement and instantly changed its direction. It then raised its extremely sharp front limbs, preparing to pierce through the light barrier again.

Its intention was obvious. It was to tear apart this great formation that was protecting humans, to leave this formation riddled with holes so that its own Cloud Beast army could drill into it and break out of the human city!

"Hiss!"

The Golden-Back Mantis hissed excitedly, and its pair of demonic eyes revealed a fierce look. It was about to swing its dual blades down again!

After the crack just now had appeared, there had already been a large number of cloud beasts that had rushed into it. Western Lion Country might still be able to deal with it in time, but if there had been a few more of these cracks, it might have been possible.

Everyone could not help but feel a chill down their spines.

Just as everyone was feeling anxious and anxious, in the Western Lion County City, at the crack where the Golden-Back Mantis had torn open the formation, countless Cloud Beasts were currently surging in.

Suddenly, a majestic burst of energy erupted from the crack, instantly devouring a group of low level Cloud Beasts that were rushing in. The Cloud Beasts that were clinging to the formation were sent flying!

In the next moment, a stream of light flashed, and a figure flashed out like lightning. He flew up along the edge of the great formation, and actually with an unimaginable speed, arrived underneath the pair of 'dual blades' that were slashing towards the great formation!

That person was eight feet tall, and he held a black battle spear. The tip of the spear suddenly swept upwards, and a black light instantly shot into the sky, colliding with the pair of oppressing blades!

"Boom!"

Amidst the rumbling sounds, the person did not retreat a single step. The gigantic simulacrum of a mantis suddenly trembled, and together with the physical form of the golden-backed praying mantis, the simulacrum flew back dozens of feet at the same time. The simulacrum shook, and the golden-backed praying mantis's ice-cold eyes stared fixedly at the figure standing at the top of the magical formation!

A single move had actually suppressed the Golden-backed Mantis. Regardless of whether it was the horde of cloud beasts below, or Xiang Yun and the rest, all of them stared in shock at the figure standing atop the great formation!

Everyone could only faintly make out that this person was dressed in silver armor and held a jet-black battle spear in his hands. Even though he was several miles away, that person's fighting spirit was still terrifying, especially that incomparably vigorous aura. This was clearly an Earth Cloud master without a doubt!

"This is?" Everyone was shocked and curious at the same time. When did an Earth Cloud Realm expert appear in the Western Lion Country?!

On the other hand, Bi Hongzhang, who was familiar with the forces and experts of the north, felt his eyes light up. He excitedly said, "This aura is very familiar. This is the Dongling County's supreme guard, 'Chu Xi River'!"

"Oh?" Xiang Yun was stunned upon hearing this. He then thought back to a few months ago, when he had visited Silver City to congratulate the eight Grand Guardians. It seemed like it was precisely this person who had chosen to visit Silver City.

But this person's cultivation hadn't reached the Earth Cloud Realm? Xiang Yun was still a little doubtful.

Bi Hongzhang quickly explained, "Among all the county governors in the Northwest Eight Counties, perhaps Grand Guard Chu is slightly lacking in literary talent, but he is the one with the highest cultivation amongst us. When we were celebrating the birthday of our prince in Silver City, he was already at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm.

He had originally thought that the sudden appearance of the Golden-Back Mantis would bring about a calamity to the Western Lion Country. He hadn't thought that there would be an Earth Cloud Realm expert in the Western Lion Country that would directly contend against the Golden-Back Mantis.

It was obvious that Chu Xihe had suppressed the Golden-backed Mantis. The latter wielded a black battle lance that was beyond the reach of the Mysterious Cloud Realm. Numerous streaks of light shot out like a comet, their killing power astonishing!

However, the Golden-Back Mantis had also shown its strength. It was almost at the level of a half-step king level cloud beast. With its body that far exceeded that of a human's, and its pair of indestructible forelimbs, it actually withstood Chu Xihe's attack without losing.

In addition, the Golden-backed Mantis was innately able to fly and had extremely high agility. It was difficult to determine the victor in a short battle!

Even in battle, it would constantly let out loud howls, as if it was the commander of an army, commanding the horde of cloud beasts below. The horde of beasts received the order in an instant and swarmed towards the opening of the formation at full speed.

The hordes of Goldbiter Rats climbed up to the cracks and gnawed at the edges of the cracks, as if they wanted to expand the cracks.

At the same time, a large number of cloud beasts charged into the rift. Even though there were countless Cloud Crystal Cannons trying to stop them from entering, the cloud beasts were attacking without any fear of death.

Right now, both sides were engaged in a showdown of top-notch strength. Beneath them, an intense battle of offense and defense was taking place. The sounds of gunfire, hissing and energy explosions resounded throughout the world as the battle entered a white-hot phase.

Xiang Yun, who was watching from afar, had a glint of light flash across his eyes. He pondered for a moment before finally coming to a decision. He spoke to Bi Hongzhang, Ma Hong Zhang, and the rest!

"Our chance has come!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xiang Yun!

"Now that the cloud beasts have fully focused their minds and are attacking the great formation of the Tiger City, and the Golden-backed Mantis is being suppressed by Chu Taiyuan, this is a rare opportunity."

"If we take advantage of this situation and rush to the city wall in one go, we can open up a portion of the defensive array and enter the city. At that time, we can even help the Western Lion Country defend against the Cloud Beast Tsunami!

"Good idea!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. This method might be somewhat risky, but it was the best opportunity at the moment!

The four of them immediately passed down the order to Xiang Yun to organize the gathering troops. The Western Lion County was right in front of them, so no matter how fierce the waves of Cloud Beasts in front of them were, everyone was prepared to fight a battle. As long as they could enter the Western Lion Country, they would be safe!

In the dark night, the formation above everyone's heads slowly disappeared. The cloud beasts that had surrounded the group earlier had already left and joined the ranks of the invaders. They hid themselves in the underbrush and watched from the sidelines!

Xiang Yun stealthily raised the Giant Blue Profound Sword in his hand and slowly pointed it forward as his eyes flashed with a cold light!

"Charge!"

With the command given, the entire army once again moved out. They were like a group of friends in the dark night, hiding in the darkness behind a horde of cloud beasts!
