Chapter 145: Chapter 145: One-on-one Melee

A Mechanical Creation, yet it was affected by Bile Gold.

Neither Chen Qing nor Shang Jia Bai Xian had ever heard of any Mechanical Creation that possessed the sense of smell of a living creature.

However, the Sword Dance Mantis before their eyes was indeed affected by Bile Gold and was vomiting frantically.

Its reaction was even more intense than that of Chen Qing and his companions.

Chen Qing’s attention was all on the Blood Spirit; to kill the Sword Dance Mantis, he still needed the assistance of the Blood Spirit.

Compared to the Sword Dance Mantis, the Blood Spirit was somewhat easier to deal with.

The face of the Sword Dance Mantis, which was crazily vomiting, tore apart, its mouth gaping wide to reveal the cold mechanical parts and circuits inside.

A massive number of parts were expelled with its coughs, quickly piling up on the ground.

Chen Qing also found the Stinky Element Ball that had been swallowed by the Blood Spirit, a tiny black sphere emitting a strong stench.

As soon as he retrieved the Stinky Element Ball, Chen Qing immediately threw it at the Sword Dance Mantis, making it vomit even more violently.

It was as if it wanted to expel all the metallic parts in its body, opening its mouth to an unbearable extent.

The current state of the Sword Dance Mantis was truly terrifying and nauseating, horribly deformed.

The Blood Spirit, now devoid of the Bile Gold and Stinky Element Ball, finally regained its vitality. The first thing it did was turn to bite back at Chen Qing!

"Snap—!!"

With a crisp sound, the Blood Spirit was sent flying by a slap from Chen Qing, crashing into a pile of flesh and blood.

The Blood Spirit felt that Chen Qing had grown stronger than before, but it didn’t really care, perhaps it was used to being beaten by him.

The Blood Spirit, which had landed on the pile of flesh, once again started devouring at a terrifying speed, expelling the things that Chen Qing had not dug out from its body.

The Blood Spirit and the Sword Dance Mantis, one frenziedly devouring, the other frenziedly vomiting—how could this not be considered a cycle?

Having dealt with the Blood Spirit’s problem, Chen Qing quickly released the Mechanical Spider Bombs while the Sword Dance Mantis was busy vomiting.

The Mechanical Spiders climbed up the walls of the pit and rapidly covered the Sword Dance Mantis’s entire body before detonating abruptly.

"Is it dead?"

Shang Jia watched in the direction of the Sword Dance Mantis, her arms crossed as if she was very relaxed.

But the injuries Shang Jia sustained were not lighter than those of White Immortal. They were both beaten quite badly by the Sword Dance Mantis just now. If it weren’t for the Blood Spirit drawing fire, it would have been normal to be killed.

The intense explosion in the deep sea caused a significant disturbance of the water, affecting Chen Qing and the others inside the pit.

Chen Qing slammed hard against the wall, a searing pain in her back as blood slowly trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Shang Jia and White Immortal beside her, the Blood Spirit was already moving to feast.

"Get lost—"

Just as the Blood Spirit’s tentacle barely touched Shang Jia’s body, she heard Shang Jia’s voice, low and filled with anger.

Immediately after, a massive shadow flew past Chen Qing.

She barely lifted her head to see the Blood Spirit tossed away by Shang Jia.

The direction of the throw was towards the Sword Dance Mantis, and the two enemies instantly started fighting one another.

These two creatures were very powerful, stronger than all three of them put together, but fortunately, they lacked intelligence, operating only on instinct and pre-programmed behavior.

This allowed Chen Qing and Shang Jia Bai Xian the opportunity to act; otherwise, they would have been killed outright.

Power is important, but so is wisdom.

Chen Qing pulled out a Recovery Potion from her space and injected it into the artery on her neck.

The potion slowly flowed through her blood vessels to all parts of her body, rapidly healing her wounds.

Combined with the passive effects of her Extraordinary Physique, Chen Qing’s recovery speed greatly accelerated.

Chen Qing ignored the two people below and quickly jumped out of the deep pit, landing on the edge of the hole to immediately pursue the fleeing Blood Spirit and Sword Dance Mantis.

Once Chen Qing had departed, the atmosphere between Shang Jia and White Immortal tensed once again; however, this no longer concerned Chen Qing.

The Blood Spirit, with its appetite restored, was greedily devouring everything it could, and its body was rapidly growing larger.

The Sword Dance Mantis had already been worn down by the Blood Spirit through a drawn-out battle, severely drained. If it hadn’t undergone a mysterious change, it would have been killed by the Blood Spirit long ago.

On that side, the Blood Spirit completely enveloped the Sword Dance Mantis, trying to immobilize it and devour every human part of its body.

Meanwhile, Chen Qing found her path blocked by the Mini Rabbits controlled by the Sword Dance Mantis.

Rows of Mini Rabbits, neatly organized, aimed their weapons at Chen Qing, their eyes flashing with dangerous red lights.

Not far away, the "corpse" of Wind Shadow Jade lay quietly on the sandy ground.

Chen Qing would no longer spare these Mini Rabbits that had been invaded by the Sword Dance Mantis. To avoid affecting other Mechanical Creations at home, she wouldn’t even leave their components behind but would completely crush them.

Wielding the Black Blade, she hurled herself into the midst of the Mini Rabbits’ encirclement.

Blade clashing with hammer, the Mini Rabbits she’d created were constantly uttering threats to eliminate Chen Qing.

Hammer after hammer struck from all around with the clear intention of smashing Chen Qing into a pulp.

Chen Qing kicked a Mini Rabbit in front of her, her horrific strength leaving a huge dent in the Mini Rabbit’s abdomen.

She quickly jumped away, propping herself off the ground to escape their encirclement.

The moment she landed, her Black Blade unhesitatingly executed Tornado Blade Slash, sweeping through the Mini Rabbits!

The sharp blade bisected several Mini Rabbits with a single stroke.

Yet, even slashed in half, the Mini Rabbits kept their "Life," still swinging their hammers as if determined to kill Chen Qing.

Chen Qing knew too well the lifeline of these Mini Rabbits that she’d made with her own hands.

The blade’s tip pierced their core, and the Mini Rabbits immediately lost their "Life," collapsing lifeless to the ground.

Chen Qing hadn’t brought many Mini Rabbits, just a hundred or two.

Even if all of them were invaded and controlled by the Sword Dance Mantis, it wouldn’t impact the current situation.

On the other side, the Sword Dance Mantis was being relentlessly struck by the recovered Blood Spirit in a war of attrition. Under sufficient food supply, no creature could outlast the Blood Spirit.

Its tentacles turned into extremely fine threads, attempting to burrow into the inner workings of the Sword Dance Mantis.

The Sword Dance Mantis’s body blinked with red lights, continuously repeating the mechanical sound of "danger, danger."

Chen Qing led the Mini Rabbits away from the Sword Dance Mantis and Blood Spirit, creating a significant gap. Normally, self-destruction was the last resort for Mechanical Creations.

The Mini Rabbits lacked this functionality due to material limitations, but the Sword Dance Mantis possessed it.

Even if its self-destruction couldn’t take the Blood Spirit down in one go, it could at least revert it to its original form.

As Chen Qing quietly distanced herself from the Sword Dance Mantis and the others, Shang Jia and White Immortal also emerged from the deep pit, continuing their fight.

The two were incredibly ruthless, targeting each other’s vital points with every move.

At that moment, there was a faint stir from the Sword Dance Mantis!
