Chapter 61 of the Seventh Volume: One Object Subdues Another (Final Chapter of the Seventh Volume)

  "Brother Teng, help!" The Great Elder shouted loudly, transforming into a green light that directly pounced on a boulder. After flashing twice, he arrived at Teng Qing's side. His tattered clothes were stained with blood as the Great Elder said repeatedly, "Brother Teng, this evil creature is extremely formidable."

  Teng Qing Shan was observing the triangular skull emerging from the rocky crevices on the mountain wall.

  Hehe~

  As the triangular skull completely emerged from the stone pit, the two slender horns on its head also appeared.

  "Hmm, its eyes?" Tong Shan took a closer look.

  In the center of those two golden giant eyes, there were extremely small black pupils, which were about the same size as ordinary human pupils.

  "Ka-ching!" The mountain wall cracked open, and a pair of gigantic golden sharp blades emerged from under the monster. Then - "Hummm!" This head of the monster directly burst out of the rocks and hovered in mid-air, "Hmmm..." Those spread-out, slightly transparent golden wings fluttered.

  Suspended in mid-air, this monster was staring at two humans on the mountain rocks ahead.

  "This is... " The Great Elder took a big bite.

  "Huh?"

  Teng Qing Shan also widened his eyes.

  He had never seen such a monster before. But... the monster's appearance reminded Teng Qing Shan of an ordinary animal from his previous life - a mantis! The monster's appearance was very similar to that of a mantis! However, this monster was much larger than a mantis and its aura was also much more terrifying!

  A triangular head! A pair of huge eyes. And two extremely small black pupils.

  The chest is slender and long, as if cast in golden steel armor.

  The lower abdomen is slightly wider. The scales on its back reflect dazzling golden light. The length of this monster's body is about seven zhang (18 meters).

  Of course, the most frightening thing is this monster's six legs! Three pairs in front, middle and back.

  A pair of giant scythe-like forelegs, with a faint golden color on the leg segments, and there are sharp thorns on each segment, each thorn is nearly four feet (one meter) long, like a sharp cone growing on the legs. On the joints of the front legs, there are also reverse thorns, which are as long as eight feet (two meters).

  Its forelegs themselves were over 16 meters (52.5 feet) long, thick and powerful, with razor-sharp edges!

  A pair of middle and hind legs, slightly thinner, but this thinness is also relative... The middle and hind legs are still nearly four feet (one meter) thick, with a row of sharp thorns on the legs reflecting a cold golden light.

  "What kind of monster is this?" Teng Qing Shan felt a sudden intake of breath.

  "This is... Six-legged Blade Locust!" The Great Elder couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Six-legged knife-wielding beast" Qing Shan was on high alert for the monster hovering in mid-air, while listening to the Great Elder's narrative, knowing oneself and knowing others is the key to winning every battle. Qing Shan had no idea how formidable this monster was.

  The Great Elder continued: "This six-legged knife, over a thousand years ago, appeared in the North Cold Domain. At that time, two family armies were fighting each other, and one of the martial saints accidentally brought out the six-legged knife from underground. As soon as it came out, it was furious and started a bloody massacre."

  "It is said that it can withstand all kinds of swords and guns!"

  "Fast as a ghost, especially those six legs! The six legs are like giant sickles with no match. Those sharp thorns and the inverted hooks will easily pierce people and hook them in two halves."

  "That time, out of 20,000 soldiers, only a few hundred people managed to escape, the rest were all killed, including two Wu Sheng among them."

  "But since then, the Six-footed Blade has never appeared again, and for over a thousand years, there have been no rumors of it appearing anywhere. Who would have thought... that today, I would run into it here." The Great Elder gripped the Blood-drinking Blade tightly, its name striking fear into the hearts of men, capable of slaughtering tens of thousands of soldiers, with only a few hundred escaping.

  Even if it's Teng Qing Shan, with tens of thousands of people escaping, Teng Qing Shan wouldn't be able to kill that many.

  All I'm saying is that this six-legged knife-wielding creature is very fast, and its killing speed is also very fast! It's hard to escape!

  "Roar!!"

  In the high sky, a triangular skull with six legs, a pair of eyes staring down, and a shrill roar from its throat. Suddenly diving down! The huge body turned into a golden phantom, stirring up a gust of wind, rushing over quickly, while a pair of giant scythe-like forelegs swung down to slash!

  "Get out!"

  Teng Qing Shan and Da Zhang Lao joined forces, one using a spear and the other a sword!

  "Clang!!~~~~~"

  A burst of frantic explosions, rocks tumbling down, amidst a haze of smoke and dust.

  "Run!" shouted Teng Qing Shan.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Teng Qing Shan and the Great Elder fled in two different directions immediately.

  "This monster is invincible." Teng Qing Shan's clothes were damaged for the first time, while the Grand Elder of the Xuri Merchant House had even more tattered clothes, with a wound on his abdomen that was stained red with blood.

  Just a brief exchange!

  Teng Qing Shan finally knew the terror of this six-legged knife-wielding insect!

  "I didn't expect that, with my marksmanship, I couldn't completely defend against the six-legged knife-wielding insect's knife skills!" Teng Qing Shan clearly remembered the terrifying scene from just now. Yes, the six-legged knife-wielding insect's pair of front legs swinging down could indeed be called 'knife skills', and they were extremely exquisite!

  At the moment when Teng Qing Shan blocked the attack, he was shocked to discover that the sharp thorns on the knife leg could slightly change direction, and one of them stabbed towards him!

  It's also said that ——

  A single swing of the Six-Edged Blade's slash, not only attacks with the blade's edge, but also simultaneously attacks with a row of sharp thorns surrounding the blade's edge! At the same time, it faces over ten paths of attack, and is as fast as lightning! Even Teng Qing Shan's "Mixed Yuan One Qi" spear technique couldn't dodge one of the thorns.

  "Luckily, the thorn's penetrating power was only one-tenth of the front foot knife's edge. Even if the thorn pierced my body, it would at most tear my clothes, but...it still couldn't hurt me."

  The force of the knife is great, but only the front leg knife edge, such as sharp thorns and reverse thorns, the power is much weaker.

  "But this six-legged knife insect, it really has six legs. Now with just one leg, I'm already in trouble. Once the six legs attack together, that would be...” Teng Qing Shan also felt how terrifying this six-legged knife insect was! If all six legs attacked at once, Teng Qing Shan wouldn't stand a chance.

  "Whoa~~" Another ear-piercing sound, like the screeching of glass on metal.

  Six-footed blade flashed towards Teng Qing Shan like a bolt of lightning from high altitude!

  Obviously, Teng Qing Shan's speed of escaping with his life was much faster than that of the Great Elder!

  Secondly, after a brief exchange of blows with the knife, Teng Qing Shan found that he was even more troublesome to deal with. So, take care of the troublesome one first, then go and take care of that old man!

  "Heng brothers, be careful." The great elder shouted from afar.

  "Get out of the way!" Teng Qing Shan shouted as he dodged and weaved around a large tree, suddenly executing a swift backflip. His wheel gun transformed into a silver flash of lightning that shot towards the triangular skull of the six-legged knife locust. However, the six-legged knife locust had two pairs of wings. The thin, cicada-like wings quivered lightly, allowing it to easily dodge the attack.

  Immediately followed by a pair of knife legs attacking Teng Qing Shan!

  "Ah hoo!" The unpleasant howl of the six-legged knife-wielding creature echoed again, its sharp front legs slashing down, apparently intending to tear Qing Shan in two.

  "Damn it!"

  Teng Qing Shan let out a loud roar and swung his spear back in an instant, transforming it into a circular spear shadow. This time, Teng Qing Shan mainly focused on blocking the two front leg blades. As for the sharp thorns... Teng Qing Shan completely gave up on blocking them. After all, Teng Qing Shan's spear technique did not allow him to block so many attacks at the same time!

  If it were ordinary people shooting arrows in unison, Teng Qing Shan could easily block them.

  However, Liu Zuojian's swordsmanship was so sharp that with just over a dozen stabs, Teng Qing Shan was unable to fully defend himself.

  "Hah!" "Hah!"...

  One after another, the sharp stabs pierced through Teng Qing Shan's clothes, but when they stabbed into his skin, it was as if they were stabbing into tough scales, making a hissing sound. Most of them left only a faint red mark on Teng Qing Shan's skin, unable to even break open the skin!

  Hong Qingshan fell to the ground.

  The four long knives in front of him were unable to kill the human being, and the knife legs also split open.

  Six legs attack at the same time!

  "Two legs struck with force, making both hands numb. Are you okay?" Teng Qing Shan immediately unleashed his 'Fish Body Technique', perhaps in a straight-line distance escape, Teng Qing Shan couldn't compare to that great elder. However, with swift and agile movements, Teng Qing Shan combined the body techniques contained within the "Thirty-six Open Mountain Styles" along with the "Waterway Doctrine" to create the 'Fish Body Technique', which was quite formidable.

  Only see the green mountain, like a loach in the water, very slippery: dodging.

  Six knives on his legs, he can't hit Qing Shan at the same time.

  "This beast, its legs are so long, I can't even get close to attack its body. And with legs this long, it can easily encircle me with just one stretch." Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Teng Qing Shan's eyes, and a figure leapt down from the big tree, a sharp blade slicing downwards!

  It's really Big Elder!

  "Clang!" The thin, cicada-wing-like wings seemed like a sharp blade, the edges of the wings and the knife light collided, the old man was thrown open, while the six-legged knife was unscathed.

  "Roar!!"

  The six-legged knife insect was enraged and disregarded the green hills, its four wings flashed, and it suddenly turned around to pounce on the Great Elder.

  "Wow~~~"

  A loud and shrill bird cry echoed across the sky, a trail of flames streaked across the horizon, and then hovered in front of Liu Zuojian. The entire body was engulfed in flames, like a divine bird 'Qing Luan' that could only appear in dreams, looking down at Liu Zuojian from above. Liu Zuojian immediately looked up, staring at the bird in front of him.

  "Qing Luan!" Teng Qing Shan looked up.

  "Ah!"

  A black flame spewed out of Qing Luan's mouth, with a hint of purple color hidden within the blackness. The terrifying flames scorched the space, causing the air to distort and tremble. In an instant, the flames enveloped the Six-Legged Blade Locust that was trying to dodge, its agility in mid-air notwithstanding. Qing Luan was no inferior to the Six-Legged Blade Locust!

  Under the azure flame, the six-legged knife-like elder attacked, but couldn't harm the terrifying body. At this moment, the golden scales on its body made a 'hissing' sound.

  "A loud, sharp roar of indignation erupted."

  The six-legged knife bug suddenly dived towards the ground, its six knife-like legs tearing open the earth in an instant. Nuo Da's already slightly charred body scurried into the soil and escaped from view.

  "Wow~~" The blue bird landed in front of Teng Qing, proudly flapping its wings.

  “Azure Luan…” Teng Qing Shan was somewhat delighted and also surprised, “Indeed worthy of being the number one beast in the Nine States, considered to be unbeatable below the Void Realm - the divine bird ‘Azure Luan’. The Azure Luan and I have sparred twice, but it was just a test, we didn’t use our ultimate moves, and were locked in a struggle of life and death. The Azure Luan is indeed the Fire Element Divine Bird, this flame it spits out... its power is truly frightening.”

  Hong Qing Shan finally understood how terrifying Qing Luan's ultimate move was.

  "Heng brothers, this...this flying beast seems quite close to you?" The Great Elder walked over in surprise.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded.

  "When I saw the Six Ancestors' Knife, I thought it was already the strongest demon beast under the War God. Unexpectedly...” The Great Elder's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Qing Luan, but Qing Luan proudly turned his head away, not even looking at the Great Elder. The Great Elder exclaimed in admiration, "Such a demon beast, in the world, probably only my teacher and the Heavenly Wind War God can deal with it. Moreover, it's an avian demon beast... once it wants to escape, even a strong War God wouldn't be able to catch up."

  Qing Luan is a flying creature seen in Teng Qing Shan that flies the fastest.

  Indeed...

  Only when the Void Realm is fully mastered can one fly. Ordinary Void Realm cultivators, even if they can deal with the Azure Phoenix, will only be able to watch as it escapes into the distance.

  Even if one can fly, it is still a matter of controlling the power of heaven and earth to fly. As for speed, compared with the Azure Phoenix, who knows who is faster?

  "Heng brothers, you're really something, I'm envious of you." The Great Elder praised.

  "Great elder, you just said, your teacher?" Teng Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise.

  "Haha... Some top-notch families in the world know about this matter." The Great Elder laughed, "In our Duandu Continent, there are only two who have reached the War God level. One is from the Tianfeng Family, known as the 'Tianfeng War God'. And the other one is from our Xuri Commercial House, my teacher, known as the 'Yunmeng War God'."

  Hong Qingshan was shocked.

  How many war god level (void boundary) powerhouses Du Mu Continent actually has, previously Teng Qing Shan was just guessing and didn't know.

  In the vast land of the nine states, Yangzhou has two illusory realms!

  This continent of Duomu also has two illusory realms!

  "Tianfeng War God, Yunmeng War God......" Teng Qing Shan remembered these two names.

  "We were lucky to have escaped with our lives from the Six-legged Flying Knife this time." The Great Elder praised, suddenly he looked at Teng Qing Shan and said, "Brother Teng, until now, you still don't know my name, do you?"

  "I only know that the Great Elder's surname is Mu!" Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  "My name is Mu Ye!" The old man chuckled, "If you think highly of me, just call me Old Brother Mu. I'm already over 130 years old this year, so I should be older than you."

  After this battle, coupled with the fact that Zuo Qing Shan and Liu Suo Dao were able to fight each other for so long, it made the great elder 'Mu Ye' view them in a different light.

  Especially ——

  Blue Phoenix!

  "Hmm." The Great Elder looked at Qing Luan, praised him twice, and then said, "Teng brother, you and I have had a good fight. I'm satisfied now! If you have time, go to the Western Tang Domain to find me."

  "Alright." Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded.

  The great elder was carrying a giant blood-drinking knife on his back and transformed into a green light that quickly flowed away.

  "Qing Luan, let's go, we're going back too." Teng Qing Shan and Qing Luan went together, quickly rushing towards the Moon Tooth Lake.
