Chapter 756 - 403: Side Quest 2
But the question is... what comes after the extermination?
After all, Bai Yang has guarded for thousands of years, the seal was clearly flawless, so why was there a new Insect Queen born? If we kill this one, will another new Insect Queen be born? If it happens in a remote corner of the world, what should we do if we can’t make it in time?
Besides, even if the Insect Clan doesn’t come to destroy the world, aren’t demons, Blood Demons, and those Human Demons also destroying the world? When is the killing considered a victory?
Or is it really as the great leader of the sect ’realized’...
That the root of everything lies in the Outer Heaven, it must be won there...
Don’t think too much, Huangfu Yi, since this is a grand chess game, and you are just a pawn crossing the river, then charge forward relentlessly. Rush forward, kill to the end, there must be a way to survive.
Shaking his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his heart, Huangfu Yi quickly stabilized his Daoist Heart, firming his fighting spirit!
Rushing wildly all the way, punching furiously! Breaking through the ground!
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, Armored Soldiers broke through the ground, chasing the soldier ants’ tracks. Looking around, all he saw was a forest burned by great fire, and not far away the ground was charred like a giant crater leftover from a meteor falling from the sky. The path pf the soldier ants clearly led to the center of the crater.
Judging by the surrounding ruins, it seemed to have been a temple. The strange thing was, most of the surrounding buildings had been obliterated by violent flames and shock waves, almost nothing remained, yet bizarrely, a near-perfectly preserved Buddhist Hall stood in the middle of the blast crater.
Looking from the outside, the house was empty, it’s unclear what Immortal protection allowed it to withstand the meteorite’s impact.
Did the Sergeant’s words prove true, the Insect Queen descended from the sky?
Then before he went into the cave, meteor showers had already rained down so many meteors, and now seven days have passed since he came out, hasn’t everything already been too late?
"Crack, crack."
At this moment, with greatly increased power, Huangfu Yi heard from afar a rustling sound from the crater. Sweeping with Divine Sense, the soldier ants seemed to still be in the depth of the crater, fiddling with something.
Could it be the Insect Queen itself!
Suppressing his uneasiness, Huangfu Yi calmed down to gather his Qi, pulled out the Iron Rod to channel sword light, ready to strike, focusing all his energy locking onto the object in the crater!
"Gang Fist! Forty!"
"Boom!"
He unleashed full force right away! Huangfu Yi’s first move was full power! Charging with a flying punch! Simultaneously throwing out a sword energy strike!
"Yao Guang Demon Slayer!"
"Zing!"
In the end, with just a casual sword, it was finished. The sword energy cut open the crater, as if plowing the ground, directly sweeping three zhang away.
The insect wriggling in the crater had no resistance at all, being sliced in two. It seemed that the newly awakened Insect Clan was still manageable, its combat ability akin to ordinary monsters.
Ensuring the insect was indeed dead, Huangfu Yi went up to see what it was fiddling with... an egg?
Round and plump, it indeed looked like an egg, huh? Cracked open?
Apparently fiddled by the insect earlier, with a "crack" the eggshell broke open, then rolled out something the size of a human head... uh, wait, it seems to be a head, doesn’t it?
Huangfu Yi frowned, picking up the object from the egg for a closer look.
It was indeed a human head.
Faintly discernible facial features, size akin to a child’s head, but scorched brown, burnt out of human form, even the neck’s rupture couldn’t be easily felt, as if a whole head was put into the round egg and baked, with skin and fat all melted into a clump, leaving only a round mass.
The insect that was slain earlier seemed to be poking the round mass, trying to use its steel needle mouth to pierce the skull’s crevice and suck out the brain matter.
What kind of hell...
"Escape...escape...escape..."
"What the hell!"
Suddenly realizing, Huangfu Yi turned his head, only to see a gigantic shadow crawling out from the previously vacant Buddhist Hall.
Squelch squelch, squelching all the way, it dropped puppet flesh, crawling under the dual moons’ gleaming shine.
This... what on earth? The Insect Queen has matured, and is this what it looks like? No, this is completely unlike the one imprisoned by the Centipede!
The one underground was said to be the Insect Queen, but it was human-like. The one in front, the hands, feet, torso, head, intestines, heart, liver, lungs, every single part seemed human, yet when combined and bizarrely pieced together, it was certainly not human in form. If it must be likened... a human-shaped Heavenly Bull?
Okay, without imagination, it might be challenging to conceive it, but if its lower hand and foot were seen as insect’s tentacles, the two upside-down large white legs as Heavenly Bull’s antennae, with seven or eight heads patched together, splitting open to reveal slowly wriggling visceral cavities as the Heavenly Bull monster’s gaping maw...
Ugh! Sickening! Enough with staring! Monster means death!
"Die, demon—! Five Immortals Secret Sword! Bai Yang Divine Light! Break—!"
"Escape..."
"Hum—!"
With a concentrated strike, leaving no restraint, a sword slashes through.
Sky-reaching Sword Light blooms! Unleashing vast majestic glory like Positive Electron Cannon! With one sword strike, it splits the monster along with the temple into two halves, then sword energy bursts forth, like a mountain torrent sweeping broadly! One sword shattering soul and breaking evil! Demon extermination, soul banishment! Directly blasting the vile creature, obliterating it into ashes! Destroyed utterly! No remains!
