Chapter 985 - 709: Mosquito Emperor Pursuit
The eerie smile on his face vanished instantly, turning grim.
The insect patterns on his body flowed rapidly, like a glow of mist.
"Fellow Daoist Mosquito Emperor, what is the matter?"
The Three-Eyed Thunder Peng Emperor across him immediately sensed a change, put down the bone bowl, and asked in a hushed tone.
"One of my bloodline descendants seems to be in trouble."
The voice of the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor carried a tinge of doubt.
At the depth of those compound-structured pupils, countless tiny lights flickered, as if rapidly deducing and perceiving.
"No, I must personally check!"
As soon as the words were spoken, before the demons could react, he transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, vanished into thin air with a faint "whoosh".
The gaze of the Three-Eyed Thunder Peng Emperor narrowed, sparks flickering within his eyes.
After a brief consideration, he quickly instructed a nearby Thunder Peng King to temporarily oversee matters.
Then, with a flash of lightning arcs around him, he also transformed into a bolt of violet lightning and followed the faint spatial ripple, closely chasing after the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the hall, the demon kings looked at each other, the chewing sounds abruptly ceased, and their fierce eyes all revealed expressions of shocked uncertainty.
The celebration banquet, which was just lively and festive, was instantly shrouded in a layer of unease.
...
Not long before, outside the Purple Flame Immortal City, in a bloody land where skeletal remains piled like mountains.
A Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King hovered quietly in the air, casting a cold gaze below with compound eyes.
Tens of thousands of ordinary Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes, like a thick crimson mist, buzzed and fervently covered the mountains of cultivator corpses, greedily sucking the remaining essence blood.
This was the blood offering reward given by the Mosquito Emperor to their swarm.
The air was thick with the smell of blood.
Suddenly.
From the void, a meticulously condensed ice-blue Sword Light as thin as hair appeared out of nowhere!
The moment the Sword Light appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted!
The moisture in the air instantaneously froze into countless tiny ice crystals, fluttering down.
The ice filament-like Sword Light burst open abruptly, splitting into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a million!
In an instant, woven into a net of Sword Silk that covered the sky and ground with piercing cold light, it descended upon the tens of thousands of Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes!
"How dare! Who dares to attack my swarm!"
The compound eyes of the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King flared viciously, emitting a sharp and ear-piercing Divine Thought screech.
The insect wings at its back vibrated at high speed, emitting a high-frequency buzz, its razor-sharp mouthpart swelled and transformed into a dark red blood beam, fiercely striking the descending Sword Net above!
"Sizzle!"
A small gap was torn open in the Sword Net.
However, before it could command the mosquito swarm to escape, another ice-blue Sword Silk shot out from the void.
Instantly sealing the gap.
The Sword Silk Net was woven ever more intricately.
The cold Sword Qi stung the mosquito swarm below, causing chaotic buzzing.
Many of the Poison Mosquitoes that touched the Sword Net were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, tumbling down.
"What a domineering Ice Spiritual Power!"
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King was aghast.
Its mouthpart was indestructible, the essence gathered within its being.
Yet it could not breach the Sword Silk Net.
The Magical Power of this Human Race Cultivator was terrifyingly pure!
"We mustn’t fight forcibly! Retreat!"
In a flash of lightning, it made its decision.
With a roar of anger, it unleashed its Demon Power fully, its mouthpart’s tip condensed a black beam that devoured light, once again fiercely thrust towards the same spot on the Sword Net!
This time, a slightly larger gap was ripped open.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King’s form flickered abruptly.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz..."
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of illusions identical to its main body swarmed out from the breach, escaping madly in all directions, disordered, and without pattern!
Precisely its bloodline Divine Power [Million Illusory Forms].
In the art of confusing the enemy, invisibly escaping, its effectiveness was supreme.
"Trying to leave?"
From the void, a figure in a green robe quietly appeared, it was Shen Xuan.
In his eyes, crimson gold light flowed.
[Insight], [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eyes], [Sharp-eyed], [Ears Listening in All Directions], [Smell and Taste]...
All the Talent Skills enhancing perception were activated to their utmost in this moment.
In his perception, the true form of the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King was distinctly different.
The Demon Qi was evidently stronger, the Demon Body more solid.
"Found you."
Shen Xuan casually waved, a specially-made Beast Bag flew into the air, its mouth opened, generating a massive suction force that swept the tens of thousands of ordinary Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito ice sculptures within the Sword Net into it.
Then, with a slight stir of his body, unfolded a pair of illusory wings woven from blue-green wind spirit and purple thunder light behind him.
Great Success Realm[Wind and Thunder Escape Technique], activated!
His figure first transformed into a twisting lightning beam, instantly spanning several hundred feet, appearing behind the true body of the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King.
As the thunder light had yet to extinguish, the breeze arose again, his form blurred once more, cutting into the escape path of the Poison Mosquito King with an even more spiritual arc.
Wind and thunder alternated, the speed of escape was so fast that it left trails of afterimages in the air.
"What!"
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King was terrified out of its wits, its compound eyes filled with disbelief.
It had never seen a Human Race Cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage possessing such terrifying escape speed!
This exceeded its understanding of a Golden Core Cultivator!
"Ancestor, save me!"
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King no longer held back, desperately burning Essence Blood, its speed increased by another thirty percent, fleeing towards the Purple Flame Immortal City.
Meanwhile, a protective demon jade within its body shattered with a "crack".
A Divine Thought carrying the aura of its Origin Essence Blood shot towards the city through some bloodline Secret Technique!
"No wonder you are a flying insect-type demon king, naturally swift."
Shen Xuan’s gaze turned cold.
"Unfortunately, you encountered me."
He no longer held back, pointing his fingers.
"Zheng!"
Clear sword resonances echoed throughout, the Ice Soul Divine Sword unsheathed, transforming into a Profound Ice Divine Dragon, claws brandished, lunging at the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito King!
