In fact, this statement is bad.
Seven-Colors Illusion Butterflies are Demonic Beasts that can create and control illusions, but their attributes are still fire. And the scale powder falling on them has a corrosive effect, but it also carries heat poison.
If the mother butterfly eats this Scarlet Flame Fruit, although there is no effect of purifying the spiritual roots, it can greatly increase the cultivation base and even help advance to a higher level.
Therefore, the creature that Xu Zifeng is facing now is the mother butterfly of Seven-Colors Illusion Butterflies. Its wings are five or six feet long, with retractable tentacles, sharp and poisonous wings, and hooks on its tail. But it is usually very meek, relying on child butterflies protection.
But now this mother butterfly seems very maniac.
The two long tentacles swayed up and down in a strange rhythm, making a sound, like a long whip breaking through the air, with a powerful force. The tail hook behind it was bent upwards, and its tip was black. When the two wings flapped, there were bursts of sweet fragrance, which was obviously extremely poisonous.
This female butterfly floated in the air in front of the stone platform, covering the entire Scarlet Flame Fruit behind it. The two compound eyes stared directly at Xu Zifeng with a cold killing intent!
Xu Zifeng never underestimated this mother butterfly. He held a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword emitted a white light that was about a foot long.
Suddenly, the tail hook with a thorn of the mother butterfly suddenly lifted and stretched, just like a swinging whip, carrying the power of wind and going towards Xu Zifeng! If it would break in, his brain would definitely be shattered!
However, Xu Zifeng's figure swayed slightly. He didn't know how to dodge the poisonous hook. He raised his sword, the sword energy crossed with the poisonous hook and in a split second there was a 'chi' sound. The sword was a little lacking in energy, but the poisonous hook was forced to retreat. The mother butterfly opened her mouth and emitted invisible sound waves, which seemed to be formed from a substance. Xu Zifeng attacked with his long sword again, and after a few 'whoosh', the sound waves couldn't infringe on him in the slightest.
The mother butterfly was even more ferocious. Seeing that the tail hook was broken, she jumped down and wanted to cut off Xu Zifeng's head with her butterfly wings. Xu Zifeng turned sideways to avoid it, and the long sword danced even more violently like a sound of the wind and striking of thunder.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look at the belly of the mother butterfly!"
Someone immediately resisted the child butterfly attack and looked at it. Sure enough, it was trembling at the tail of the mother butterfly, as if something was about to emerge from there!
The Old Man He was also surprised: "Mother butterfly lays eggs!"
Xu Ziqing asked, "Steward He, is there something wrong?"
The Old Man He took a deep breath and said, "Mother butterflies are always gentle, but they become violent when they lay eggs. Now that it has found this Scarlet Flame Fruit, it must want to lay its eggs on this thing. At that time, child butterfly will break out of the egg and feed on the Scarlet Flame Fruit, and the formidable power definitely will be extraordinary . At this time, how can it bear if someone wants to grab the Scarlet Flame Fruit from its mouth!"
After hearing this, Xu Ziqing was also quite worried.
The mother butterfly is extremely poisonous. Even if he is a person with low cultivation, he can also see that the sword energy on Xu Zifeng's long sword is gradually eroding and falling down by little bit. If it takes a while longer, the sword energy will be completely corroded, and the sword-shaped magic weapon will not last long!
It's just that if Xu Ziqing saw it, how could others not see it?
Although Xu Zifeng's movements are quite smooth, the shortening of sword energy was also seen by everyone. If he will be damaged here, the rest of the people may not be able to escape under mother butterfly's mouth.
It was Meng Wanqin who first put down the clansmen she was protecting. The red thin silk was dancing in confusion and disorder, sweeping through the empty space. Then the silk suddenly stretched, like a rope whip, and it went straight through Xu Zifeng's side and hit the compound eye of the mother butterfly!
The mother butterfly was dealing with Xu Zifeng. Then she was in pain and her wings were fluttering. Suddenly Xu Zifeng suffered, and he choked on a mouthful of blood from his stomach.
Xu Zifeng retreated, which was just fine. More than half of his sword energy was damaged. He could only rest and reorganize, in order to avoid continuing the stalemate with the mother butterfly. However, Meng Wanqin was trapped in her rage because she injured the compound eye of the mother butterfly, and she could not be freed.
On one side she spread dancing with confusion and disorder red silk around her body, stirring up her spiritual power, and on the other side she shouted in a loud voice: "Fellow Daoist Tian, come and help!"
Tian Tao naturally disliked this woman bossing him, but he also understood that it was not the time for disputes. Seeing that Xu Zifeng was condensing his sword energy again, he jumped in and took out a magic weapon flashing with spiritual light. It resembled Jian (1)but it wasn't a Jian. It resembled knife, but it wasn't a knife. It was very weird. However, the power of this thing was extraordinary. When he joined in, Meng Wanqin could move her hand out in an instant. She was attacking and fighting with Tian Tao from a distance, and they firmly enveloped the mother butterfly within a radius.
Xu Zifeng again condensed a sword energy. This time he seemed to be heartless. He actually agitated the sword energy to two inches in length. It was taking in and sending out. The power of the sword was terryfying. The mother butterfly was besieged by three people, so it was a little cowardly. Although it was still full of rage, its movements were quite restrained, and it even flinched.
This is being strong as a mother. Killing people like crazy for the sake of the children, but also waking up when the lives of the unborn descendants are in danger.
It's just that the mother butterfly was afraid. These three Foundation Building cultivators are not soft-hearted, compassionate and lenient people. Seeing that the mother butterfly showed weakness, the three of them were more determined to forge ahead, and they attacked together. Meng Wanqin tied the mother butterfly's wings with red silk, Tian Tao suddenly appeared and stabbed the mother butterfly's trusted aide, and Xu Zifeng cut off the mother butterfly's head with sword energy.
It's a pity, this mother butterfly had a warm and compassionate heart, but in a flash it couldn't protect its life.
As soon as the mother butterfly died, all the child butterflies one after another fell, and suddenly perished on the ground. Such a thrilling picture from before was turned into smoke and vanished, because of negligence.
The cultivators were stunned. The three Foundation-Building cultivators made their move at the same time and rushed towards the stone platform.
Xu Zifeng stepped on the long sword, sword energy spurted out and at the fastest speed possible he took the Scarlet Flame Fruit and put it into the storage bag. At the same time, there was another whirl. He turned and dodged the other two Foundation-Building cultivators' righteous indignation.
The other two came a step late, so they missed. Meng Wanqin stomped her feet with regret. Tian Tao's eyes were gloomy. He seemed to look around, then his body flashed fiercely, and in the next moment, he appeared in the place where the Xu family was gathered. In the palm of his hand he was pinching someone's neck!
