Chapter 121: 121

"Just only a petty centipede, could it be stronger than the monster Qi Practitioner?"

Zhong Yue suddenly stomped down, the front part of the centipede's long body was depressed onto the ground, but its tail was still on him . But in time the tail jabbed over, he had already receded back in evasion .

However, two splashes of the yellow liquid that looked like silk squirted out abruptly from the end of its tail!

Before they even got close, there were already two Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shields emerging before him —Chi Chi— two sizzling sounds of corrosion were audible as the two splashes of toxic silken liquid decomposed the incredibly firm and robust Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shields, leaving behind two small holes!

Such impressive toxicity!

His heart thumped in terror, he quickly slid parallel to the ground, the muscles in his body shifted and moved his bones, contorting his body in mid-air . It was a near miss as he dodged the two deadly toxic silks!

Chi——

The two toxic silks slipped past his nose tip and armpit, the acrid smell gushed into his nose . Although he had stopped breathing it in the first second, a small leak was still taken in and the psyche in his psyche ocean was immediately undergoing the same corrosive effect that his Xuan Wu shields were previously subject to . The sky turned overcast and gloomy, the sun and moon dimmed and his aureate psyche ocean turned pasty, losing its usual vibrancy, whereupon it began to emit a putrid stench!

Indeed worthy of its name as the beings created by the demon gods to fight against the celestials!

Zhong Yue visualized the Sui Sovereign . Instantly, the toxic fumes were smelted away, but the psyches that was corroded would never be able to be recovered .

Meanwhile, on his two Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shields, the toxic liquids started to creep from the corroded holes . The dragon turtle totem patterns and Teng Snake totem patterns were decomposing, the spirituality in the Gold Qi was ablating and the small needle holes soon ballooned into the sizes of large fists!

Zhong Yue quickly dispersed the Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shields and reclaimed the unaffected Gold Qi . His heart was palpitating in terror; the centipede's toxic venom was too potent, even the seemingly intractable contextures of the totem patterns were corroded away from the roots!

The centipede lunged into the air, hovered above the ground and flew over to him at great speed . Zhong Yue moved, shuttling in between the towering ancient trees —Krong krong krong… . — behind him came the sounds of crumbling trees, it was the centipede's peerlessly sharp legs that chopped the trees down!

"【First Sword Style】!"

Gold Sword Qi flitted out from his back . It turned into a sword silk and surreptitiously shot over to the centipede . Zheng zheng zheng!—— the sounds of blasts came and fire sparks flared on the centipede's body . Gashes appeared all over its body and faintly yellow blood spewed out from the wounds . The centipede's legs extended out and slashed with the Gold Sword Qi, and unexpectedly, during the clashes, the sword silk curled around its legs .

With a thought, the sword silk's power was fully unleashed and it severed one of the centipede's legs, rendering it powerless to continue its assault .

The insect race's body is so strong? Gold Sword Qi, return!

Zhong Yue reclaimed the Sword Qi . The centipede was growling in pain, it's legs jittered restlessly, crawling onto a tree and disappearing into the tree crowns . Looming in and out amid the thick leaves, it was changing and shifting places around Zhong Yue, biding for the right time to strike .

Zhong Yue stood still, numerous Sword Qi revolved around him in the array formation of【Fourth Sword Style】, preparing himself for the deadly assault .

Suddenly, a towering tree on his right shook violently with the sounds of leaves shuddering before abruptly turning deadly silent .

【Fourth Sword Style】!

With a thought, Zhong Yue slashed out the four sword silks in the【Fourth Sword Style】array formation which enshrouded the tree . The sword silks shuttled in, out and around the tree . in a trice, the whole tree was diced to dust .

Almost instantly, the ground beneath Zhong Yue bulged, and not knowing when, the centipede sneaked down from the tree and burrowed into the ground, launching another offensive from beneath the ground!

"Interesting, so smart and brilliant you are, but sadly that's all you've got— besides your body strength and the toxic venom, you've nothing else . Which is why, you will end here and now!"

Zhong Yue inhaled a deep and long breath, dense Xiang Dragon totem patterns emerged on the surface of his skin while his muscles bulged up . Even the tendons in his body were bound to the Xiang Dragon totem patterns . Meanwhile, the slithering Jiao Dragons wreathed around him, and the immense powers of the Xiang Dragon and Jiao Dragon glutted his body!

"Ha!"

He stomped heavily on the ground, depressing the giant centipede beneath his feet just right when it was unburrowing from the ground with half of its body still stuck underground .

How incredibly heavy was his stomp? One could only hear a loud burst of sound as the ground of a hundred feet in radius cratered, sinking into a pithole of dozens feet in depth, and the hundred feet of ground centering around the pit was also stomped into stones like metals!

HONG!

Zhong Yue swung his fist, and punched down heavily . His fist broke through the sound barrier and released a loud rumble of thunder . The centipede's head was instantly pulverized, and the ground was splattered with its yellow blood .

But the centipede's body still quivered, it roiled underneath the ground, blasting holes up to the surface of the ground . Zhong Yue launched a fierce barrage of punches down towards it, its speed quick enough to leave after-images—Peng Peng Peng— the blunt sounds of each punch resounded together to form a cacophonous symphony .

Right when the centipede quaked out to the surface, he had already launched countless strikes at it in the blink of an eye . The gigantic body was ravaged like a ragged doll, and sent flying only to fall down onto the ground after toppling down a few ancient trees . Its body and legs contorted for a few seconds before finally stopping completely .

"Faking death?"

Zhong Yue pointed his finger at it, and one after another, its body became riddled with perforations from Sword Qi threads that were shot out of his finger . A shrill cry could be heard as it lunged out over at Zhong Yue in a final and desperate gambit . Pak!— all of a sudden, it fell down onto the ground, only twenty feet away from Zhong Yue, Sword Qi flying out from its mouth one after another .

The Sword Qi have essentially pulverized its brain!

"Without any skills, and you still dare to fight with Qi Practitioners?"

Zhong Yue kept his Sword Qi, he glanced around only to be met with a scene of utter devastation that was incongruous with the surrounding forestry . The wasteland extended to a thousand feet in radius, marking the spot of his and the centipede's gruesome battle .

Gosh, if all the insects are this strong, then it'll definitely be a disaster to those monster Qi Practitioners that've entered! Not only are there insects lurking in this place, there is still the monster god Ming King's seal, this place is extremely precarious, a misstep would claim countless lives!

Zhong Yue settled his mind, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xin Huo, you say that the insect race is a precious existence, so which aspect of them are very precious?"

"The precious part of them is their bodies . "

Xin Huo sat on his soul's head and said, "The insect race devours the spiritual Qi of the heaven and earth, regardless of whether it is Gold Qi or the Wood Qi, all is comestible to them . These vagrant energies would accumulate inside their bodies and eventually condense into a spiritual pearl . If it's the Wood Qi then it'll be the Wood Spiritual Pearl, if it's the Gold Qi then the Gold Spiritual Pearl . This centipede must've been one that favored the Earth Qi, so it should have an Earth Spiritual Pearl in its body . Try and search for it and see!"

"Earth Spiritual Pearl?"

Zhong Yue's psyche gushed out and entered the centipede's body, soon, he discovered something, and his psyche left its body; this time, enveloping an earthly yellow colored spiritual pearl .

The Earth Spiritual Pearl was heavy and tiny like a bead and yet it weighed two thousand kilograms . It's surface was engraved with marvelous looking totem carvings which differed from that of the humans and monsters, it was more reminiscent of the demon's totem patterns . However, the demonic air on it was not as heavy and thick .

The totem patterns on it, could it be of the insect race's? But this Earth Spiritual Pearl is really something good . With this spiritual pearl, I can cultivate the Earth Sword Qi, and form the【Fifth Sword Style】, the sword array's power would be able to increase yet again! However, it's a pity that the Earth Qi in this Earth Spiritual Pearl is too little, the Earth Sword Qi cultivated from it would likewise not be that strong either, at least not anywhere close to the other Sword Qi . I have to get more of these .

Zhong Yue held the Earth Spiritual Pearl in his hand as he extracted the Earth Qi in it with the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, turning them into a Sword Qi .

One centipede like this is still manageable, two or three is still fine but if they were to swarm in groups, then I wouldn't be able to withstand them . Just exactly like how that monster Qi Practitioner died in mid-air .

Discreetly, he moved forward, scanning the surroundings with his psyche before he even reached there — in the air, the trees and even the undergrounds . He ensured to take every step with caution, so as to avoid getting beleaguered by the insects .

A few miles away from Zhong Yue, a young monster Qi Practitioner had his body penetrated by a myriad of holes . Blood dripped along the silks that created the holes, flowing into the mouth of a giant spider .

The giant spider was mountainous, and in its mouth were over hundreds of strands of spider silk which were constantly supplying blood to it .

"Zhu Xian'er, you are one of the monster race, why did… . " The young monster's eyes dimmed and so was his voice .

"Monster race?"

The spider monster chuckled in reply, "I'm no monster . My origin is of the insect race, one that is nobler than the monster race . Ages ago, my teacher had escaped from this forsaken land . And as soon my teacher heard that the saint city lord is looking for a closed door disciple, I was sent over to have a look . And indeed, your monster saint city lord does indeed have his own little secrets, sending you all here . Ke-ke, my teacher has nothing with the monster god Ming King's heritage, what interests my teacher is the reason the monster god Ming King was tasked to cordon this place, the thing he was asked to safeguard … . "

"Your teacher?"

The young monster had lost too much blood, he could only barely open his eyes, his voice was hoarse and dried like a desert, "Zhu Xian'er, who is your teacher?"

"I've said so much, yet you still have no clues as to who my teacher is?"

Zhu Xian'er chortled flirtatiously, "The deep hole beneath your saint city . . . it's my teacher's work . And also the death of your late saint city lord was due to my teacher having killed him . Don't you know who my teacher is? The world claims that you monsters are smarter than us insects, but I can't see why . "

Before her voice even faded away, the young monster had his body completely sucked up by the spider silk, only leaving behind a dried and desiccated corpse .

"This is where teacher lives, and the home for innumerable insects . "

The spider monster, Zhu Xian'er, opened her mouth and reclaimed the spider silks, and the desiccated corpse . Its mountainous body started to transmute, shrinking into a vivacious and lively young lady, flirtatious and with an exceptional allure, except for the eight dark and deadly spider legs on her back . She chuckled quietly, "Teacher sent me back to check on what this saint city lord had in mind . But it looks like the saint city lord has yet to discover what teacher has set up … monsters taste delicious . I've the urge to eat them all … En, let's do that then!"

Zhong Yue walked out of the woods and stopped abruptly to gazed forward at the young and beautiful lady . Glancing around, he could see the wreckage and detritus that was strewn around . This should've been the scene of a fight . And he frowned in consternation .

"This senior martial brother… . "

Zhu Xian'er smiled flirtatiously while suddenly, her heart was in full alert . She quickly leaped into the air —Chi Chi— sounds came from beneath where she stood, one after another, the sword silks shot up from the ground and encircled her in the center, forming into a sword array!

"An insect race who cultivated to the human form!"

Zhong Yue squinted his eyes, the sword array formed into the【Fourth Sword Style】and surrounded Zhu Xian'er in it . He mumbled, "The monsters have been infiltrated by the insect race?"

Zhu Xian'er's beautiful countenance covertly changed, she chortled, "Senior martial brother, what insect race? I'm from the monster race, my name is Zhu Xian'er, daughter of the Feng Gu City Lord . "

"That said, the Lord of Feng Gu City is also from the insect race?"

Zhong Yue's voice was filled with curiosity, "Seems like the insect race holds quite a bit of clout in the monster race . "
