His sword light was already fast enough, but the mantis in the formation was even faster.
No matter how good the flying knife is, it can only be said to be as flexible as an arm, but it is not as flexible as its natural limbs.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding."
Two flying knives and two serrated forelimbs.
In just one breath, there have been dozens of collisions and countless sparks sputtering out.
It lights up momentarily, then goes dark momentarily.
Because the speed is too fast, time seems to slow down, with the gentleness of a spring silkworm spinning silk.
Inexplicably, Xie Duanyang's mind had already sunk. Without any distracting thoughts, he was just chasing the direction in which the mantis would draw its sword.
Sure enough, it is this kind of evenly matched fight, or a fight in which the opponent is slightly stronger than oneself, that can best squeeze out one's own potential.
In just a short while, he felt that his sword skills seemed to have improved a little bit.
The main purpose of Jinguyuan's battle with the demon cultivator was to make him proficient in swordsmanship, but what he has improved now is that mysterious and unspeakable realm.
In everything, there are gains and losses. Praying mantis practices it physically and combines magic and martial arts. Its power is much stronger than ordinary flying knives and flying swords.
Under the full force, even high-grade or even top-level defensive magic weapons may be split into two with one sword.
But the weakness is also very obvious, that is, it cannot be far away, and can only act within a dozen feet.
If we were outside, the mantis' natural escape speed and agility would be able to make up for this shortcoming.
But now, it is restricted in a space of several acres and cannot be used.
I can only compete with Xie Duanyang in swordsmanship.
Inside and outside the formation, there was no other sound at all, only the sound of sonorous collision.
Originally, Xie Duanyang controlled the flying knife and was more cautious when facing the mantis's forelimb, not wanting to confront it head-on. It was twists and turns and the knife took a wrong turn.
But when his sword skills improved to a higher level, he suddenly changed and took the initiative to find the opponent, regardless of his own magic power and flying knives.
One person and one insect fought for more than half an hour before the movement inside gradually began to stop.
Xie Duanyang controlled Wu Yun Dou to distance himself, raised the height, sat cross-legged, and put the flying knife in front of him.
After thousands of collisions, the two top-level flying knives had several hair-sized cracks on their blades.
In comparison, the harder metal flying knife was more seriously damaged.
Drink the Kou Ling Liquor to recover the remaining 70% to 80% of the mana.
The flying knife was placed in the palm of his hand, and Xie Duanyang activated the "gold-melting and iron-melting hand" to secretly refine it.
These two flying knives will probably be scrapped after this battle and need to be remade.
He is just maintaining it now so that it will not be directly destroyed by the mantis knife.
Xie Duanyang is busy here. In the "Inversion of the Five Elements Formation", the golden-backed demon mantis also lies on the ground and starts to vomit.
It is obvious that its demonic energy is shallower and not as strong as before.
Even the forelimbs showed some fine scratches. Xie Duanyang had mixed one or two coins of hardware essence into each of the two flying knives.
Although it is limited to cultivation and true fire, it cannot be fully activated, but its essence is so strong that it is not comparable to ordinary top-level magic weapons.
If it weren't for the fact that the golden-backed demon mantis is a different species from heaven and earth, these two forelimbs would have to endure some hardships once they are fully developed.
An hour later, Xie Duanyang, who had regained his full mana, jumped up and drew out his two swords again, switching to the other two styles of sword intent.
The golden-backed demon mantis, who was resting, roared violently, the boring knives crossed in front of him, and they slashed out at the same time.
Even the flowing air seems to be cut apart by this knife.
The power is actually several points higher than before.
Obviously, even though its intelligence is not very high, it is also completely infuriated.
The four swords intersected with each other, and they were so powerful that they were shocked back.
So much so that Xie Duanyang's body couldn't help but sway in the air.
However, the mantis was not feeling well either. It was not known for its toughness and tyranny, so it could not help but take a few steps back, and its demonic aura was somewhat scattered for a while.
It lasted for three days and two nights.
After you feel that your mana has dropped enough, or the feedback provided by Mantis is not sharp enough.
Xie Duanyang withdrew from the formation to recover his magic power and organize his thoughts.
After nine full battles, Mantis's sword skills no longer have any mystery in his eyes.
You can easily catch up with the changes in the opponent's sword skills, find out the flaws, and even suppress them faintly.
After all, this kind of monster lacks intelligence, and its own sword skills are the result of two to three hundred years of experience in fighting and hunting.
Only a powerful person can summarize it, or add, delete and revise it for ten generations to make it perfect.
To put it nicely, it’s a different kind of return to nature, with simple tricks and impressive power.
But in fact, there are not enough changes and subtleties. It is mainly a quick word, a new trick, and it is popular all over the world.
It is incomparable with the concept of the "Seven Kills of the White Tiger" passed down from ancient times.
When Xie Duanyang adapts to the speed of the mantis sword, it will only be defeated.
"Come out together!"
Xie Duanyang swayed slightly, raised his hand and threw three talismans, turning into three Taoist soldiers, occupying one corner of the formation with the main body.

He didn't take any action, he just released four auras to suppress the monster.
Tu Xingsun had also sneaked underground long ago and enveloped the mantis with his natural magic.
If this monster was at its peak, Tu Xingsun would be unable to do anything to it.
But the other party is not like Xie Duanyang, who has spiritual stones and spiritual wine to restore mana, and the mana in his body has long been depleted.
Under the suppression of these five forces, there was no resistance at all, and he was suppressed to the ground, unable to move any more.
"Get up!"
With a smile on his face, Xie Duanyang made a imaginary move with his palms, and the double-eared furnace cauldron fell from the sky, faced the wind and rose to the size of a house, and held the mantis upside down inside.
Then it slowly shrank, turned into the size of a fist, and fell back into Xie Duanyang's hands.
After affixing several talismans to the furnace cauldron, Xie Duanyang put them into a specially prepared spirit beast bag.
Although the Red Luo Heavenly Furnace is not suitable for fighting, it is definitely strong for refining weapons.
This became even more so after Xie Duanyang refined a large amount of metal essence into it. Even the golden-backed demon mantis would not be able to break out of the furnace.
It would be a pity to kill these aliens from heaven and earth who are only half a step away from forming a pill.
Han Li felt that he could not conquer this monster, so he could only kill it.
As a result, the materials obtained were wasted by the weapon refiner who lacked skills and cultivation.
Xie Duanyang wanted to give it a try.
He doesn't have a good idea, just take time to work it out and subdue him.
Monsters and beasts all believe in the law of the jungle.
Make the fire crow activate the demon fire for an hour every day. After three or two days, release it and trap it in the formation to kill for a while, draining its energy.
Even if the opponent's intelligence is not high, there are still restrictions planted by the original owner.
But after several months and years, after his vitality was severely damaged, Xie Duanyang could not believe that it could not get rid of its ferocious temper, and he realized what choice he should make.
