The result was that before the mantis creature could steady its form, the dark shadow transformed by Liu Ming appeared once again before its eyes. Accompanied was an enormous tiger head phantom with a deafening roar, which flashed by and again smashed onto the defenseless head.
With a "crack"!
The head of the mantis creature immediately split into several parts like a watermelon. Disgusting green blood gushed out like a fountain.
Then its claws flailed aimlessly for a while until its huge body fell to the ground with a "thud". It twitched a few times and then stilled, lifeless.
From the mantis creature's initial strike to its demise at the hands of Liu Ming, it all happened in the span of two to three breaths. Aside from the two clean and muffled sounds of punches, all that remained was the howling of the black sandstorm around them.
