Chapter 144 "Orochimaru, your death has come!"

Orochimaru stood quietly, not choosing to take action again.

Although the mantis on the opposite side had been seriously injured due to a piercing through the chest, he knew that because his grass pheasant sword did not hit the opponent's heart, the human-like mantis was not at the end of its rope.

As a ninja with extremely rich combat experience, Orochimaru is very confident in his judgment.

At this time, he has basically mastered all the information about Qingxu Mantis' abilities.

A kind of space thrust similar to Senbon. It is launched very fast and can even destroy anything. It is difficult for ordinary people to resist it. One or two Void Senbon is okay. Once there are too many, all dodge spaces will be blocked, and even Orochimaru himself will have to rely on it. Only the snake substitute that he relied on to save his life had the confidence to resist.

Needless to say, the close-combat taijutsu of the green-backed mantis, after just two short encounters, Orochimaru no longer intends to confront the opponent head-on. The characteristics of the mantis's taijutsu are completely different from the norm in the ninja world. With his Taijutsu routines, both offensive and defensive, coupled with Mantis's physical strength several times higher than his, Orochimaru has reason to believe that even the top Taijutsu master in the ninja world would not be able to fight head-on with that green-backed mantis. No benefit is possible.

There is also the ability recorded by the village as [Hollow]. At this time, Orochimaru has basically seen through it. It is just hiding his body in the void. Although he can walk in the void to achieve the effect of surprise when attacking, Orochimaru at this time Already confident.

"It can last up to three seconds, and it can't be used continuously..."

He snorted coldly in his heart, unable to tell whether it was disdain or envy deep down in his heart.

Although he knew the weakness of the opponent's ability, Orochimaru could only make predictions to deal with it. The green-backed mantis had suffered a loss before, and he would definitely not choose to approach him rashly again in the future.

"The opponent should also have mastered the ability to jump in space, but at this time, it is not something to be afraid of..."

Looking at the frightened eyes of Qingxu Praying Mantis, Orochimaru had a faint smile on his face.

"After all, they are just beasts. Fighting is not just based on intuition. Wisdom is also a very important part. Unfortunately, although we defeated the mantis without much effort, the opponent's life-saving ability was still too strong. , trying to kill it is extremely difficult..."

Orochimaru felt a little pity in his heart. The ability of time and space has always been the top existence in the ninja world. If he said that he was not curious in his heart, he would be lying to himself.

......

The fear in Qingxu Mantis's eyes slowly calmed down, and was finally replaced by solemnity. There was even a hint of appreciation in Orochimaru's eyes, and he slowly spoke like a murmur.

"I thought that even if I couldn't kill him, I could still break one of his hands, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated so miserably...

This guy's melee combat ability is not even as good as that of the son of the Third Raikage, but in terms of brains, Orochimaru is much smarter than that guy. This time, he was defeated unjustly... "

Qingxu Mantis sighed slightly in his heart. After this defeat, Qingxu Mantis was somewhat discouraged, and his previous arrogance was also shattered a lot.

At this time, it can be said that it is easy for it to escape, but Shangguan Mo's arrangements in Tianzhi Kingdom will be destroyed in one day. For this, Qingxu Mantis, whose wisdom is not inferior to ordinary people, is very clear.

"What a shame..."

Thinking of the vows made in front of Shangguan Mo when leaving Tangyin Village, Qingxu Mantis's heart couldn't help but twitch. This was extremely embarrassing for it, which is proud by nature. Shangguan Mo's other psychic beasts would know about it. , and maybe he will laugh at himself behind his back...

Although due to its strength and character, no one of its brothers and sisters dared to say anything against it in front of it, but the secret discussions and ridicule behind its back, I believe Qingxu Mantis is definitely indispensable.

Its cold and arrogant character certainly frustrates its brothers and sisters.

"This is what humans call tit for tat..."

Qingxu Mantis smiled bitterly, but this smile caused the injury on its chest, and bursts of tearing pain came, making its complexion even more ugly.

But the real pain coming from the body made it finally stop hesitating and laugh at the trivial matter. If it ruined Shangguan Mo's big things, then it really couldn't forgive itself.

It lowered the hands covering its chest and hung them on both sides of its body. The scarlet blood on its left chest immediately began to flow uncontrollably, and soon its lower body was soaked again. It was even so shocking that it dyed the ground underneath it red. .

Seeing that Orochimaru did not continue to attack, Qingxu Mantis breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a small black and white object from under the black hood on his head and placed it on his chest. It turned out to be a black-hearted slug.

A burst of green light lit up its chest, and the bleeding wound was immediately stopped, and the pain in the chest also eased a little. After doing this, it glanced at Orochimaru warily, only to find that the other person was also moving his hands at this time, but Those cold vertical pupils were looking at it with interest.

"Humph!"

Qingxu Mantis ignored him, but the vigilance in its heart was still at the highest level. After suffering the great loss of Orochimaru, it can be said to be fully wary of this human being. It can be said that it has been afraid of well ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. .

hum!

Suddenly, a blue gauze covered the body of Qingxu Mantis, but it was Qingxu Mantis that opened the non-attribute chakra coat of [Wishful Insect] that it had never used before.

Speaking of which, today is the first time it has used the [Ruyi Worm] and [Black-hearted Slug] since Shangguan Mo gave it to it, and before, it never thought that it could use these two little guys. when.

The Black-Hearted Slug is used to recover from injuries, so it is quite well-prepared for the Qingxu Mantis. However, when Shangguan Mo handed it the [Ruyi Worm], it was full of confusion. This kind of thing can only increase chakra and ninjutsu. What use is a psychic beast to a mantis like it that doesn't even have chakra?

Just let it have a little chakra? What's the point of that?

Until Shangguan Mo taught it the only ninjutsu.

"Ninja Technique. Counter-Psychic Technique!"

It endured the pain and gritted its teeth to complete the seal. When the chakra given to it by the Ruyi Bug was exhausted, and the thin layer of blue chakra coat on the body was drained and swayed away, the Qingxu Mantis had a ferocious look on its face.

"Orochimaru, your death has come!"
