Chapter 234: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
“No rush.”
Hearing this, Su Chen said with a smile, “It’s just right to let them help divert the Purple Kirin’s attention. If someone is willing to be our free labor, we should naturally accept it with pleasure.”
If Pan Feichi and the others, who were struggling on the other side, heard Su Chen’s irritating words, they would probably be so angry that they would suffer a heart attack on the spot.
Pan Feichi took the lead and rushed towards the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb. The Purple Kirin lazily opened its eyes. Although it had experienced ninety-nine lightning tribulations, it did not show much abnormality.
If it were just now, the Purple Kirin wouldn’t want to affect the descent of the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb, so it ignored these ants. But now they had invaded its territory, which was undoubtedly a provocation to any spirit beast, let alone the Purple Kirin, a spirit beast with noble bloodline and a half-step Divine Beast bloodline.
The Purple Kirin slowly stood up and roared at Pan Feichi. As it moved, streaks of light purple lightning flew towards Pan Feichi.
Fortunately, Pan Feichi reacted quickly and dodged them all. However, Zhao Yangyao and Gu Feiyang were not so lucky, especially Zhao Yangyao. After being struck by lightning, his entire body became numb and he twitched in the air.
Although Gu Feiyang was slightly better, his hair had been fried by the electricity. His previous image of a gentle and refined young master was completely gone, and he looked more like a beggar who had fled from a disaster in the city.
“What are you standing around for? Quickly protect me!”
Pan Feichi looked at the two cowards behind him and couldn’t help but get angry.
He sent the disciples with lower cultivation levels to the front as cannon fodder to consume the Purple Kirin’s spiritual energy. But he never expected that those people would be either dead or injured before they could even get close.
Sure enough, it’s better to rely on oneself than on others. Pan Feichi couldn’t help but curse and took out his long sword to fight the Purple Kirin.
“You two, seize the opportunity to get the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb. I’ll stall for time. Don’t linger.”
While dealing with the Purple Kirin, Pan Feichi looked at the two dumbfounded people with exasperation.
The two of them could barely breathe under the immense pressure.
Even Gu Feiyang, who had the highest cultivation level, was moving very slowly at this moment and had to endure the occasional bombardment of lightning, both physically and mentally exhausted.
But the top priority was still the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb.
Zhao Yangyao and Gu Feiyang headed towards the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb at the same time.
And the Purple Kirin, which was trembling with the two elders, seemed to have sensed the purpose of the other two and let out an angry roar. Lightning that was countless times thicker than before was summoned from its side and attacked the Second Elder.
While the Second Elder was dodging, the Purple Kirin quickly rushed towards the two.
At this time, the two had just touched the surface of the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb. When they saw the Purple Kirin rushing towards them aggressively, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Zhao Yangyao was the first to grab the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb tightly and was about to leave, but not long after he grabbed it, his hand was covered with purple-black veins.
He let out a pig-like howl and threw away the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at his distorted arm with great distress.
The newly born Purple Thunder Immortal Herb was surrounded by the power of lightning laws. Grabbing it with bare hands would definitely cause injuries.
Gu Feiyang had obviously also noticed this, so he didn’t try to snatch it from Zhao Yangyao just now.
“You did that on purpose, didn’t you!?”
Zhao Yangyao looked at his numb hand and shouted angrily at Gu Feiyang.
His hand was severely damaged. Not only were the blood vessels swollen and purple-black, but his fingers had even begun to atrophy, leaving only his palm.
This scene stimulated Zhao Yangyao’s eardrums, and he instantly let out another pig-like howl. His screams echoed throughout the valley.
At this time, the Purple Kirin had already arrived in front of him. It opened its bloody mouth without hesitation and was about to devour Zhao Yangyao whole in the next second.

At this critical moment, Pan Feichi was quick to react and shot out a burst of spiritual energy, forcefully deflecting the Purple Kirin’s head.
Zhao Yangyao seized this opportunity and escaped to safety.
Damn it, whoever wants this Purple Thunder Immortal Herb can take it. He wouldn’t stay any longer. He almost lost his life just trying to get the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb.
Gu Feiyang didn’t dare to touch it easily either, afraid of ending up like Zhao Yangyao.
Pan Feichi looked at the two of them pushing each other, their unpromising appearance making his teeth itch with anger.
But he was entangled with the Purple Kirin and couldn’t get away at all. He even discovered with horror that he had gone from being evenly matched with the Purple Kirin at the beginning to now feeling strained.
This Purple Kirin was only at the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, but it could actually fight him back and forth, and in the end, it was him who was at a disadvantage.
This realization filled Pan Feichi’s heart with terror.
The Purple Kirin was obviously also tired of this cat-and-mouse game. It let out another roar, mixed with the power of lightning, and flew towards Pan Feichi.
It was only when this lightning bolt approached that Pan Feichi realized with horror that this time, the Purple Kirin was not at the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, but clearly close to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
The gap between the two was like a chasm. The Second Elder couldn’t even react to when the lightning bolt arrived before he was heavily knocked back dozens of meters.
If it weren’t for the trees cushioning his fall, he would have flown even further.
Pan Feichi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The arrogant and confident expression on his face was finally replaced by terror. If it was the third level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he would still have a chance to fight, but with such a huge gap, it was no different from suicide.
On the other side, because neither Gu Feiyang nor Zhao Yangyao dared to take the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb, they had missed the best opportunity and were directly slapped away dozens of meters by the Purple Kirin with its tail.
“Second Elder, what should we do?”
Zhao Yangyao had already lost one hand. Now, being hit again was like adding insult to injury. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was directly scared out of his wits. The air was filled with a pungent smell of urine.
The confident and arrogant look on his face was gone, replaced by fear.
“What can we do? You bunch of useless trash! You can’t even pick a Purple Thunder Immortal Herb!”
Pan Feichi had lost both his wife and his soldiers. That blow just now had almost shattered his internal organs. Looking at these two useless things, he couldn’t help but get angry.
But now was not the time to blame them. He grabbed Gu Feiyang and Zhao Yangyao and directly used a talisman to escape from here.
As for the other Qingyun Alliance disciples, they were either dead or injured. Only a few escaped with Pan Feichi.
“Got it.”
Green Vine shook the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb wrapped in spiritual energy and handed it to Su Chen with an excited face.
As early as during the chaos just now, Green Vine had secretly stolen the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb.
At this time, the Purple Kirin also discovered that the Purple Thunder Immortal Herb it was guarding was gone. Its angry roar soared into the sky, and purple light flashed in the cloudy sky.
“Death to the thief!”
