Chapter 545 - 544
Vast Jiao swooped down with the wind, opening its gaping maw of blood, and no one knew where the little monk found the strength to leap up. Clasping the Zen Stick in one hand, he struck straight at the heart of the beast. Yet, Vast Jiao was by no means so simple to deal with. Its two antennae moved as if sentient, ceaselessly dancing and battling with this nuisance of a little person who kept leaping into the air—truly irritating indeed!
Ye Tian felt a heavy sensation in his chest. Having forcibly endured for so long, the smell of blood had finally surged into his mouth. Although he stifled the urge to vomit, the injury was ultimately his own to bear.
Seeing that the little monk was not at a disadvantage for the moment, Ye Tian momentarily set his worries aside. It seemed this person had some mettle, and right now, he needed to seize the Ice Worm quickly.
With only a hundred steps remaining, Ye Tian finally rushed forward, stopping ten steps away from Shangjia Moti because the Ice Worm was nestled in the palm of his hand.
"Do you want this Ice Worm?"
Ye Tian shook his head.
A sinister light flickered in Shangjia Moti’s eyes, and his half-clenched hand tightened even further. "This Ice Worm is the culmination of my life’s work and represents the fortune of my Gu Poison sect. For over sixty years, I’ve hidden in rural corners, all to refine this Ice Worm and strengthen my sect. It’s a pity that its completion is thwarted at the last minute because of you. You don’t understand the hardships; naturally, you think it’s just a worm. But you don’t realize that every Gu possesses a spirit, one that’s nourished by the fresh blood of the Gu Refiner. Since you don’t want it, I won’t feel any pain in killing it. Let’s just end its life now."
As the words fell, the fist that was half-clenched began to close. Once it was fully clenched, the insect would be crushed to death.
