The forelimbs of this dried mantis are two sharp mantis knives with sharp blades and many sharp serrations on the blades.

These sawteeth have a hooking effect. Once a weapon is accidentally caught by these sawteeth, it will be easy for the withered mantis to pull both the weapon and the person into its chest.

What awaits him then is the combined strangulation of the mantis blade, gastropod and mouthparts.

In this respect, the evil withered mantis is very similar to the real mantis in its hunting movements.

And the most important thing is that the opponent is extremely fast.

If it encounters an evolved one, this dry mantis can even grow wings.

These are the knowledge that Yang Qing's predecessor learned in the training camp. This training camp not only teaches them combat skills, but also appropriately imparts them some information about common evil spirits.

Dang~!

There was a crisp sound.

The fine iron long sword in Yang Qing's hand collided with the mantis's sword again.

After that, Yang Qing and the withered mantis started fighting quickly, each of them slashing at the other with a knife.

This withered mantis not only has an extremely fast sword speed, but also has two swords. Every time it strikes, it will make two slashes, one after the other.

Moreover, the angle was extremely tricky. Not only did he chop continuously, but he also hooked and grabbed at the same time. Several times he almost took the long sword from Yang Qing's hand.

In terms of threat, this withered mantis is much more powerful than the scaly-clawed beast.

Of course, Yang Qing at this moment is not comparable to himself a few days ago, at least in terms of skills and courage.

He blocked the incoming mantis knife with one knife, and at the same time he slid his feet and made a sudden advance with the Seven Star Step, dodging the second incoming knife by leaning sideways.

Then Yang Qing slid the long knife in his hand along the mantis's knife, and the knife cut the joint of the dry mantis's forelimb with skillful force.

In Yang Qing's opinion, this joint should be the most vulnerable part of the opponent's body.

As long as you can insert the tip of the knife into the opponent's joint, following the method of butchering the beef by inserting the tip of the knife into the gap without cutting into the thickness.

As long as the tip of the knife is in, and then it is pushed hard along the gap between the bones, it should not be difficult to remove one of its front limbs.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is always much more bleak than imagined.

The shell of the dried mantis was extremely hard. Even at the weak points like the joints, Yang Qing's powerful chop failed to hurt it at all except for a few sparks.

Of course, this consequence was caused by the fact that the weapon in Yang Qing's hand was an ordinary weapon.

Although it is made of fine iron, it is still just ordinary stuff.

Besides, Yang Qing had been using this knife for several days, and the blade was already full of cracks and even had many places where the blade was bent.

If Yang Qing hadn't known that the clerk in charge of supplies would definitely make things difficult for him, he would have gone to change his knife long ago.

When fighting against evil spirits, ordinary weapons like this are fine for chopping off the skin and flesh of the evil spirits, but for creatures with scales and armor like the Withered Mantis and the Scaled Claw Beast, the lethality of this knife is really very limited if the correct weakness of the creature is not found.

Seeing that this knife had no effect, Yang Qing was about to retreat and keep some distance, but unexpectedly, the withered mantis quickly stepped forward, raised the two mantis knives high and slashed towards Yang Qing.

In a hurry, Yang Qing quickly raised his knife to block, and at the same time moved his feet outward, preparing to use the force of the Seven Star Step to leave while blocking.

But who would have thought that the two swords of the withered mantis were not aimed at Yang Qing's head. Instead, the blades passed over Yang Qing and went straight behind him.

It was like a rake, covering Yang Qing inside.

"Oops!"

Yang Qing secretly thought that this was not good. Close combat was extremely dangerous. One negligence could lead to eternal damnation.

Then the dried mantis suddenly retracted its front limbs, and Yang Qing seemed to be embraced in its arms and was pulled in front of it in an instant.

The sharp mantis knife easily cut through Yang Qing's back, and the tiny serrations on it also sank into the flesh.

It seemed that with just a little force, he could peel off a layer of skin and flesh on Yang Qing's back.

But these are not the most dangerous things. At this moment, the dead mantis's huge, pincer-like mouth has been biting towards Yang Qing's neck.

If this bite is true, Yang Qing will definitely end up with his head chopped off.

Click!

The long knife in Yang Qing's hand blocked horizontally, just blocking the mouthparts of the dead mantis!

Under its tremendous bite force, the blade of the fine iron sword actually made cracking sounds, and cracks appeared on it in an instant.

After being used for so many days, this fine iron sword finally couldn't bear the strain anymore.

Fortunately, this knife is made of fine iron. Otherwise, according to Yang Qing's usage, if it was the thin-skinned iron short knife before, it is estimated that no matter how many knives there are, they will not be enough for the one made by Yang Qing.

"Mysterious energy, transform energy into spirit, spirit into sharp light, make a sword to cut it. Single sword finger!"

Let go of the knife, then rub your fingers together to form a seal.

Yang Qing held the withered mantis with one hand, and with the other hand he formed a single sword finger seal at the fastest speed in his life.

boom!

There was a crisp sound.

At the moment when the long sword was bitten off by the withered mantis, a stream of energy shot out from Yang Qing's fingertips and went directly into the huge mouth of the withered mantis along the direction of his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound exploded inside the withered mantis's skull.

After the muffled sound, various liquids mixed with brain fluid and blood flowed out from the huge pliers-like mouth and drenched Yang Qing all over.

The smell is extremely fishy.

At this moment, the body of the withered mantis slowly lost its strength and collapsed.

If your brain is blown up, you will definitely die.

Thanks to the training during this period, Yang Qing controlled the timing of this sword finger handprint just right.

A moment earlier or later, the sword energy from this single sword finger cannot be delivered into the mouth of the withered mantis.

If you use it too early, the long knife will block it; if you use it too late, the mantis's mouthparts will close.

Only at the moment when the withered mantis bit the fine iron sword into pieces did Yang Qing have the opportunity to shoot the sword energy into it.

After all, it's not that easy to shoot in the face.

If Yang Qing had not been able to seize the opportunity at that moment, he would have been the one to die.

You know, there were still two mantis knives stuck on Yang Qing's back. With just a slight drag, Yang Qing would be lifted up, and he would not be able to escape at all.

As the withered mantis died, its body quickly decomposed, leaving only an evil bead, and Yang Qing finally broke free from the "embrace" of the withered mantis.

Feeling the pain and stickiness on his back, Yang Qing was sure that his back had been soaked in blood.

Just now, when the two mantis blades sank into his back like saws, he didn't know whether they took away any small "pieces of meat".

The pain was like peeling off the skin, making Yang Qing want to breathe deeply.

"what!"

A voice sounded above Yang Qing's head, and at this moment the moon finally emerged from the clouds.

With the moon as the background, Yang Qing saw two slender figures standing on the roof not far away.

But they were facing away from the moon, so Yang Qing could see their shapes clearly but not their faces.

But just looking at the clothes, it vaguely looks like the night watchman's night uniform.

The first person was holding a large package in his hand.

The two men also seemed to have noticed the black smoke that was emitted when the evil spirit was killed. Looking at Yang Qing's appearance, it seemed that he had suffered serious injuries.

It was obvious that a fight had just taken place here.

The two exchanged glances, and then the thinner girl raised her hand and made a hand seal towards Yang Qing.

"The fifth-grade lotus, divine light shines, eliminates disasters and protects life, and preserves the soul. Heal!"

A voice like that of an oriole was heard, and then a lotus phantom blossomed on Yang Qing's body and wrapped Yang Qing in it.

Fifth-grade lotus hand seal!

A healing Taoist hand seal. Without some talent and ability, it is impossible to learn this hand seal.

Judging from the voice, the person who cast the seal should be young and a girl.
