Seeing Gui Fuss blocking his path, Chen Jiuge felt extremely urgent and had no desire to waste time. He immediately transformed into his most powerful state and launched his strongest attack.
Suspended in the void, Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised. He blocked it? How is that possible?
Gui Fuss tore the cracked carapace from his arm, revealing dark green blood. His ugly face twisted into a ferocious sneer as he said, "That was quite a punch."
"A human general? I didn’t expect to catch such a big fish." A shadowy figure appeared beside Gui Fuss; it was a new Insect General!
"Eric, let’s take him down together. I might not be able to handle him alone," Gui Fuss said gravely. This human seemed even stronger than Shi Xiaojun, who had barely escaped earlier. He had to be taken seriously.
"Understood." Eric’s figure completely vanished into the void.
Chen Jiuge’s expression darkened. Even his Divine Sense couldn’t detect the newcomer. Is this an Insect General too? This is troublesome.
As Gui Fuss roared, his already massive limbs doubled in size again. The muscles on them bulged like tumors, appearing utterly grotesque.
Ultimate speed could bring ultimate strength. Conversely, while ultimate strength might not bring ultimate speed, it wouldn’t be too slow either.
Clasping his hands together to receive Gui Fuss’s punch, Chen Jiuge found that the Spirit Blood Phenomenon armor he wore actually disintegrated. The power was too outrageous.
A pitch-black dagger lightly swiped across his throat. Fortunately, Chen Jiuge detected it in time and forcefully twisted his body, so it only grazed his chest.
Looking at the slightly blackened wound on his chest, Chen Jiuge was shocked. I’m poisoned? Updates are released by novel{f}ire.net
With his exceptionally strong physique and his cultivation of the Life Dao, ordinary poisons had no effect on Chen Jiuge.
He slapped his chest, and a large amount of black, tainted blood spurted out. Once the wound returned to a healthy red, Chen Jiuge clenched his muscles to seal it.
Watching Gui Fuss observe him treating his injury, Chen Jiuge was puzzled. "Why don’t you take this opportunity to attack me?"
Gui Fuss crossed his arms. "This is respect for the strong. I don’t think I can beat you, so I had Eric weaken you a bit first."
"He won’t interfere with our direct fight anymore."
Gui Fuss spoke pleasantly, but his nearby army had already surrounded Chen Jiuge and his companions. A single sweep of his gaze told Chen Jiuge they were likely to suffer heavy losses. There were at least ten Insect Generals and countless Insect True Immortals. Where on earth did all these creatures come from?
The defensive Insect Nest seemed to have received some information. Its massive spider body flipped, and endless strands of silk sprayed out, forcing back the Corpse Demon King and Jin Xiao.
The giant, female-shaped head on the Nest suddenly split into a wide grin. "The real war starts now."
The Corpse Demon King and Jin Xiao exchanged bewildered glances. We’ve been pounding on you for so long, and that didn’t count as the war starting?
Most of its power now focused on the Spider Empress. The previously dim Insect Nest suddenly began to pulse rapidly, its lost egg-laying ability returning.
Numerous elite Insects appeared, with Insect Generals mixed in, and even several Major Insect Generals emerged. In an instant, this elite force of Insect Generals formed a dense, dark mass, numbering at least a thousand.
The Corpse Demon King’s mouth twitched. "Does your Myriad Beasts Sect have any other trump cards?"
Jin Xiao was also deeply shocked. "Why are there so many more of them?" he exclaimed.
The Insect Nest Queen said with a smug expression, "You humans always think you’re superior to our Insect Clan, assuming we’re just low-Spiritual Wisdom bugs."
"Surprised? I was born thousands of years ago. To make you lower your guard, I deliberately allowed you to occupy my territory easily."
"You helped me cultivate resources. I was planning to wait a bit longer, but then the Corpse Demon Clan unexpectedly arrived. Heaven is truly on my side!"
Jin Xiao looked at the now talkative Empress and said gravely, "So, this was all intentional?"
The Spider Empress looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Didn’t I just say so?" she taunted. "Or are you the fool among humans?"
Jin Xiao’s temples bulged with veins. "You’re the fool!"
A massive golden greatsword thrust towards the Spider Empress.
A massive leg easily crushed it. The Empress said disdainfully, "I told you, I’m getting serious now. If you two continue to be wary of each other and don’t use your full strength, you’ll die, you know."
As her last syllable fell, the Corpse Demon King realized he had been pierced. I’ve been pierced?
A large cloud of green smoke billowed out, instantly melting the leg that had pierced him. It turned out the Corpse Demon King’s greatest strength wasn’t his physical body, but his Divine Skills.
The wound on his chest was slowly healing. The Corpse Demon King shouted to Jin Xiao, "Human! I know you don’t like cooperating with me, but if we don’t work together now, we’ll die! This creature has already touched the threshold of a True King!"
Jin Xiao admitted to himself he couldn’t match the Spider Empress’s speed just now. Even I, a Sword Cultivator, can’t match that speed!
"Then let’s go all out!" he declared. "Otherwise, this is the end for us."
Jin Xiao’s hair stood on end, like a Super Saiyan, as boundless Golden Energy radiated from his body. This was his special constitution, the reason he had become a disciple of the Grand Elder.
Seeing Jin Xiao preparing to go all out, the Corpse Demon King refused to be outdone. A large cloud of green smoke coalesced around him, forming a suit of armor, while the remaining smoke solidified into a large green bow. He was actually an archer!
"Hahaha! Let me ascend to True King by stepping on your corpses!" The Spider Empress laughed maniacally.
Chen Jiuge’s vision was blurred by blood. Eric, in an attempt to save Gui Fuss, had launched a sneak attack that slashed his forehead, nearly crippling his Dharma Eye.
Boundless moonlight flared. This was Yue Meng’s Divine Skill: Waning Moon.
Panting, Yue Meng approached Chen Jiuge, her ceremonial staff in hand. "The Insect Generals are dealt with," she reported, "but Bai Ya is too severely injured and has fallen unconscious. Li Kui, Ming Yujing, and Bali are jointly holding off the other Insects. They’re stable for now."
"The only trouble now," she continued, "is these two Major Insect Generals before us."
Chen Jiuge wiped the blood from his forehead, staring silently at the two grotesque Major Insect Generals.
Gui Fuss tore off his completely necrotic left arm. "Human, you are strong," he said, "but you won’t get past us. Surrender obediently. The Empress will be very pleased with a powerful human like you."
"It’s not decided who will win or lose yet," Chen Jiuge retorted.
