C3579 Qing Zhao Pretended to be Crazy
At least three hundred meters around them were filled with the power of the green palms. They even created dozens of deep pits on the ground, causing dust and dust to fill the sky.
Unfortunately, the blood mantis and Qing Zhao weren't forced to show themselves.
It was clear that the blood mantis was extremely fast. After it disappeared, it instantly escaped the range of the green palm's attack...
A sinister look appeared in Jiang Ting's eyes. At the same time, his aura skyrocketed.
The cultivation that he had suppressed earlier instantly recovered. The aura of an early Earth Realm expert could be seen at a glance, and his Divine Sense began to spread out without any reservation.
Three breaths later.
"Black Feather Pavilion..." Jiang Ting murmured as he withdrew his Divine Sense.
The concealment technique of the Black Feather Pavilion was too shocking. Even if the blood mantis attacked him, he was still unable to find any trace of it even with his Divine Sense at its peak.
He had never thought that he would have a battle with the blood mantis and Qing Zhao here. He had attacked both of them with killing intent, but in the end, even though both of them were on the verge of death, none of them died.
Qing Zhao had saved the blood mantis when it was about to die, and when Qing Zhao was about to die, the blood mantis had saved him with a slightly recovered body.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist...."
"Greetings, fellow Daoist Jiang Ting..."
The greeting voices rang out one after another, sounding somewhat reserved.
Turning his head, he was surprised to see that it was the numerous Golden Core cultivators who had been hiding nearby and watching the battle. When they saw that Jiang Ting had won, most of them moved closer to him, ready to get close to him.
Not to mention becoming good friends, they had to get familiar with him as well.
Looking at the people surrounding him, Jiang Ting suppressed his emotions and said with a smile, "I have seen all of you."
It was already a fact that the blood mantis and Qing Zhao had escaped. An ordinary person might roar at this moment, be angry, and vent their anger on others, but Jiang Ting... he wouldn't be so stupid.
...
Far away, underground.
"Bang..." With a low muffled sound, somewhere underground, a karst cave was suddenly blasted out by magic power.
With a flash of magic power, a fireball the size of a human head burned at the top of the karst cave, illuminating the pitch-black environment.
It revealed the blood mantis and Qing Zhao.
"How is this possible... How can I lose..." Qing Zhao had yet to recover.
As for the blood mantis...
"Hmph..." Following a muffled groan, the blood mantis's face instantly turned pale. It spat out a large mouthful of blood onto the ground, dyeing the soil on the ground red.
Don't look at how the blood mantis had casually saved him earlier... In reality, the blood mantis was not an expert.
Previously, the blood mantis had been extremely weak. Before this, he had shattered his own arms. After that, he had been severely injured and on the verge of death by Jiang Ting. He had only been saved by Qing Zhao at the critical moment.
How could the blood mantis recover in a quarter of an hour?
Previously, when he was saving the blood mantis, he had only swallowed some healing pill and then suppressed his injuries. That was why he was able to forcefully resist and save the blood mantis. Now that he was far away, his injuries had worsened once more.
Fortunately, he had consumed some pill to heal his wounds. Although his injuries were severe, they were still slightly lighter than when he had almost been killed.
"Why... is it impossible...? This is impossible..." Qing Zhao still hadn't recovered.
"Cough cough..." The blood mantis threw Qing Zhao to the ground and leaned against the stone walls of the karst cave. It bent its waist and continuously coughed. It coughed out blood, and the smell of blood filled the air.
It coughed for a long time.
The blood mantis only felt a little better after a while.
Then, it tilted its head and looked at Qing Zhao. "Fellow Daoist, no matter what, you're still on the Prodigy Roll... There's no need to pretend to be stupid."
"Impossible... Impossible..." Qing Zhao didn't seem to have heard him.
The blood mantis's face sank and quickly relaxed. "Fellow Daoist, there are dozens of holes in your body... If you really can't take it anymore and go crazy, then Fellow Daoist will go crazy for a second. He actually knows how to heal his wounds."
Qing Zhao, who was still in a state of madness and unable to extricate himself from it, suddenly became serious.
Seeing this, the blood mantis opened its mouth again. "When we left... I don't think I could bring you out of his attack range in time. In the end, when the five elements' magic power suddenly changed, it actually increased my speed by thirty percent. Fellow Daoist, it was you who attacked me."
... ""
After a moment of silence, Qing Zhao raised his head. "If you don't make a move, then if you have no hope of escaping, then I'm afraid you'll leave me behind..."
He was only pretending.
Why was he pretending?
Because he didn't want to die!
Although he didn't think that Jiang Ting would let him go just because he had gone mad, if he had gone mad, Jiang Ting wouldn't have attacked him too quickly. That was why he had found a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that even if he had gone mad, Jiang Ting wouldn't show him any mercy. If it weren't for the blood mantis, he would have died with the name of a useless person whose mind was weak, who couldn't even withstand a single blow, and who would go crazy if he failed.
Very quickly, Qing Zhao shook his head and stopped thinking. Instead, he stared silently at the blood mantis without saying a word.
The reason he had saved the blood mantis earlier wasn't because he wanted to befriend the blood mantis. It was purely because he wanted to disgust Jiang Ting.
That's right. It was purely because he wanted to disgust and disgust Jiang Ting.
Because he had met Jiang Ting. He was prepared to defeat Jiang Ting.
If he successfully disgusted Jiang Ting, Jiang Ting's mentality would definitely be affected, affecting the performance of his strength. That was all... Everything was going according to his plan. The only miscalculation was that he lost and almost died in Jiang Ting's hands.
So... there was a reason why he saved the blood mantis, but why did the blood mantis save him while it was seriously injured?
Previously, in order to not let Jiang Ting discover anything fishy, he asked the blood mantis for compensation. It seemed that it was purely because of benefits... and also because the blood mantis paid for its life. There was no reason for the blood mantis to save him.
After thinking about it, the only possibility was that the blood mantis wanted to kill him and seize his treasure. Therefore, he had been pretending to be crazy all this time, all for the sake of killing the blood mantis when it attacked!
Unfortunately, his act of being crazy had been seen through.
If he had not sped up the blood mantis's escape, the blood mantis would have been able to see through him... However, he had to make a move before he could have a chance at survival.
One eagle after another would correspond with the other.
On the other side.
Qing Zhao's gaze made the blood mantis's hair stand on end. "What are you looking at?"
"Why did you save me?" Qing Zhao retreated a little.
"I, I can't kill Jiang Ting. I need your help."
After a pause, the blood mantis sat cross-legged on the ground. "What? Do you think I want to kill you?"
Qing Zhao also sat with his legs crossed. "Isn't that so? Just now, you and I were so close to each other that I could sense your killing intent!"
The blood mantis paused... it was a lie to say that it didn't want to, but the value of the resources Qing Zhao possessed was extremely high!
However... who asked him to be heavily injured?
He wasn't stupid.
Both of them were seriously injured... If they were to fight each other, the most likely outcome would be mutual destruction!
Even though the blood mantis had a cultivation of the peak Earth Realm, its injuries were too severe... No matter how good the treasure was, it would still be able to enjoy it with its life. What good would it do to die together with the blood mantis?
