Chapter 510 - One Strike, and a City Falls

The insect magnates bolted out. Suddenly, Zhong Yue frowned inside of the Horn Toad insect magnate’s Yaun Shen secret realm.

Light wheels emerged behind the Horn Toad insect magnate and Zhong Yue could be vaguely seen cloaked in light. He opened his divine third eye and looked back behind of them.

Shit! In his vision, he saw hundreds of insect experts chasing behind them.

Some of these insect experts were fast and some were slow, but regardless of their speed, they were all magnate Qi Practitioners!

None of the Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners, including Zhong Yue and Gu Hongzi, were able to fully recover their arcane energy. If these insect magnates caught up to them, their end would be inevitable!

That Xiao Mang Celestial expert…, Zhong Yue frowned.

The three-headed Pan Ao had exceptional speed and strength. In just seconds, he was able to traverse a distance of a thousand miles. This meant that the three-headed Pan Ao was at the least a True Spirit magnate Qi Practitioner.

However, in this insect planet expedition, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race didn’t send out any of their magnates. The strongest Xiao Mang Qi Practitioners in the expedition were only the Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners.

That’s … Lang Qingyun!.

Soon enough, Zhong Yue knew exactly who the three-headed Pan Ao was. His heart sank and his face turned solemn as he pondered deeply.

Lang Qingyun was Feng Wuji’s competitor for the Xiao Mang high priest position. Although he had lost to Feng Wuji, he was still not someone to be underestimated. Furthermore, Lang Qingyun encountered Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange before, other than his formidable strength, he also had a clear understanding of Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange!

Even if Lang Qingyun’s cultivation base was behind Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange’s, he still had use to the insect race due to his ability to efficiently track down Gu Hongzi and Fang Jiange!

Over 200 and nearly 300 insect magnates, there is no other way for us to live if they catch up to us. But with this Xiao Mang Celestial Lang Qingyun on their side, its no use for us to hide as he can trace us anyhow!

Zhong Yue locked his brows. He abruptly ordered the Horn Toad insect magnate to slow down the pace while he shouted, “Senior Martial Brother Fang Jiange, Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi, bring the others and leave first! I will stay and stall the insect experts!”

Fang Jiange and Gu Hongzi both nodded solemnly and immediately brought the others away. Whereas Mister Bo Xun also slowed down and walked alongside with Zhong Yue.

“Senior martial brother, be careful!" Qiu Jin’er’s head popped out of her refined insect’s Yuan Shen secret realm as she waved her hand at him and said.

“Relax," Zhong Yue smiled and said, “I even survived the Returning Ruins. This insect planet won’t be a problem either.”

“Darling~ You must come back to us safe and sound, alright~?" Tian Mo Concubine, Saint Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the demon ladies also affectionately fade farewell to Zhong Yue and Bo Xun.

Qiu Jin’er looked over and the demon ladies were also looking at him. Tian Mo Concubine glared back and waved a fist in the air at her.

Abruptly, Qiu Jin’er chortled and relaxed her heart, she thought, These demon ladies, they are all not my match at all. If you want to get with my senior martial brother, you must first to be able to match his cultivation. Otherwise, you’ll be left behind by his rapid advancement until you become world’s apart in strength. As for me, I just need to follow up to my senior martial brother’s pace and I can be with him forever!

Zhong Yue took out Husan Weng from his Yuan Shen secret realms and took a bite out of the huge carrot. Husan Weng shrieked shrilly and Zhong Yue quickly apologized, “Hu Sanweng, I will be very good to you in the future…”

Husan Weng was now like a smooth wooden stick. It cried as it said, “Mister Zhong the Great, at this rate, I don’t even know if I can survive this…”

“You will live, you will live for sure. I will distribute more godly soils for you once we get back, you can recover and become even stronger by then…" Zhong Yue comforted him while Mister Bo Xun suddenly flew over and took another bite on Husan Weng.

The huge carrot cried and complained, “Mister Zhong, he ate your carrot!”

“He is my incarnation," Zhong Yue explained and assured, “I’ll give you another pile of godly soils once we get back.”

“I want three piles!" Husan Weng wept as it raised its little hand up, it tried to open up three fingers but as soon as it saw Zhong Yue drooling while looking at its hand, it quickly pulled it back to its body.

“Husan Weng, your fingers, they can grow back, no?" Zhong Yue gave a warm, bright smile.

“Y … No!”

Pak——

Zhong Yue plucked its fingers, taking seven for himself while giving out another three to Bo Xun.

“Save some for emergencies. And also, Hu Sanweng, your toes…”

Zhong Yue and Bo Xun consumed the divine herb and recovered their strength. The insect experts were drawing nearer to them on the back and they could clearly sense the insect magnates’ auras already.

Zhong Yue flew out from the Horn Toad’s Yuan Shen secret realms and morphed into the Gou She Celestial Race, burrowing himself into the ground and wiping his traces away.

Mister Bo Xun flew out from the Green Iguana Golden King insect’s Yuan Shen secret realms and cast out the willow leaves. The two insect magnates started lashing out attacks on the demon expert.

Meanwhile, over 200 insect magnates swarmed over. At the front was Princess Jin Xiu riding on the back of Lang Qingyun. She coldly glanced at the battlefield and found the three experts entangled in an intense battle.

“Princess, that demon is strong, She Mou and Li Xie might not be able to defeat him!" A Golden King magnate was stretching his body, “Princess, let me…”

But Princess Jin Xiu sneered frigidly, she took out a banner and swung it at the three fighting experts.

The Horn Toad and Green Iguana insect magnates’ Yuan Shen were pulled out of their bodies and sucked into the banner while Bo Xun’s Great Sun Demon Crow was nearly sucked out of his body as well.

Immediately, Mister Bo Xun swung the willow leaf jade sword in front of him and countered the banner’s attack.

“Hmph, no surprise, they are both refined by the demon expert.”

Princess Jin Xiu kept the banner and said placidly, “If we insects are refined by the demons, our Yuan Shen will get unstable. Although there is not much difference in prowess, the instability of the Yuan Shen will be a huge flaw against my Soul Calling Banner.”

Underground, Zhong Yue’s face turned incredibly gloomy. This Princess Jin Xiu was no ordinary insect expert. Her intelligence and means clearly showed that she would be a hard target to deal with.

The banner in her hand were inscribed with various totem patterns of the venomous and poisonous insects. They were incredibly abstruse and marvelous — it must be a demon divine weapon forged by an insect god.

Even if their Yuan Shen were unstable, they were, after all, magnate cultivators. Yet, with just a swing of the banner, they were both killed like two petty bugs!

Furthermore, even Bo Xun’s Great Sun Demon Crow Yuan Shen was nearly sucked out of his body. Thankfully there was the Demon Saint’s willow leaf sword that helped him protect his Yuan Shen. Otherwise, his Yuan Shen would’ve been sucked out as well.

But what was even more appalling was the fact that even Zhong Yue, who was hiding in the underground, could also feel the force of attraction on his Yuan Shen!

“To be able to withstand my Soul Calling Banner, you are not too weak." Princess Jin Xiu glanced at Bo Xun and squeezed her legs to move Lang Qingyun forward. She shouted, “Niu Jindou, you and three magnates will handle him. The others, follow me to go after the other prey! Not a single one of them shall escape from our grasps!”

Lang Qingyun galloped like a horse while the other insect magnates followed behind, leaving behind Bo Xun and four insect magnates.

“Four magnates for one tiny demon? Don’t you think princess overestimated him?" One of the magnates, Niu Jindou sneered and said, “I alone am enough to handle him. I’m capable of killing two celestial magnates together like two bugs, let alone this Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner?”

Among the four, Niu Jindou was the strongest. The other three insect magnates heard him grumbling and they quickly smiled, “Surely the princess knows of your prowess. She is just worried that we might not be able to handle him, that’s why she asked Brother Jindou to look after us.”

Niu Jindou chuckled contently and said, “Go ahead, I will be watching over you three. He won’t be able to do any damage to any one of you.”

Just as the three insect magnates were rushing for Bo Xun, the ground exploded and Zhong Yue appeared in the middle of two insect magnates.

A sword pierced right through an insect magnate’s forehead and crushed his brain while the【Celestial Demon Yi】landed on another insect magnate’s back.!

The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】revolved rapidly and disintegrated the insect magnate’s chest from back to front, creating a huge hole on his body!

A decapitated insect magnate and another one with a cratered chest collapsed to the ground.

Zhong Yue kept the sword and looked at Niu Jindou, “I think it’s better for you to do it yourself instead of just spectating.”

Niu Jindou’s pupils shrunk and he suddenly laughed out loud, he said, “An expert! What a pleasant surprise!”

He stomped his feet on the ground and his body morphed into the giant Longicorn. Two divine gold feelers soared above his head like two long whips, and his mouth was shaped like a sharp shear, he stood with two legs and four long arms. And a golden shining armor forged from the divine gold engraved with marvelous totem patterns covered his torso.

Krong——

The cicada-like wings fluttered in the wind and dashed toward Zhong Yue like a flash of lightning while he said in a smile, “You are a human? Two celestial experts, one from the Kun Peng Celestial Race and another from the Zhong Li Celestial Race, joined hands to try and kill me but were killed by me instead. And to think that you, a mere human and Heavenly Dharma child, dare to challenge me.”

The two of them clashed together. Zhong Yue cast his【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】to the extreme and his every strike was accompanied by a miniature【Tai Chi Art】blasting from his hands.

Meanwhile, Bo Xun engaged the last surviving insect magnate.

The next moment, Niu Jindou spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.

“What is this art?" His face was filled with terror.

In just the few moments of fighting Zhong Yue, the marvelous elements of Yin and Yang, Celestial, and Demon greatly disrupted the flow and balance of his arcane energy. The celestial arcane energy in the art directly clashed with his arcane energy while the demon arcane energy in the art seemed to forcibly splinter his arcane energy before it was able to congeal together.

Furthermore, Zhong Yue’s attack speed was so fast that he barely could follow, making his injuries more severe with every strike!

“【Yin Yang Celestial Demon Style】, a skill I created during a battle with a friend." Zhong Yue’s face was placid as usual. He strode to Niu Jindou’s side and attacked.

Right at that instant, Niu Jindou spread out his wings and countless insects swarmed out at Zhong Yue, engulfing him in a swarm of bugs!

“Die!" Niu Jindou guffawed and said.

As soon as his voice faded, Zhong Yue stamped on his feet and the Celestial Demon Tai Chi Force Field burst out. It extended out to a radius of over 1000 miles, enclosing every insect within it..

The Tai Chi Force Field then suddenly shrunk, turning back into an inner core. The countless insects that were within its confines were crushed and a river of blood cascaded down from the hovering inner core, flowing into a pool of blood below their feet!

These insects were the Qi Practitioners of a whole city. And they were all killed within Zhong Yue’s Tai Chi Force Field in an instant!

It was an instantaneous genocide!
