Chapter 478: Crystal Gu Insect
A murderous glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He channeled his Demonic Qi and slashed down. The [Void Divine Sword], a Semi-Divine Artifact that had already grown to four meters in length, instantly unleashed a terrifying Sword Aura at King Jiale.
"A swarm of annoying flies!!"
A flash of anger crossed King Jiale’s eyes. With a single swipe of his claw, he crushed the Sword Aura imbued with the Cloud Realm.
"Demon Destruction!"
Wei Tuxian flicked his fingers repeatedly. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in a ten-mile radius churned as streams of Finger Aura, each filled with terrifying killing intent, bombarded King Jiale.
Shu Feng also frantically slashed at King Jiale with the Semi-Divine Artifact, the [Void Divine Sword].
Faced with the combined assault of Wei Tuxian and Shu Feng—the two strongest experts in the Black Tortoise Realm—King Jiale’s Demonic Qi surged. He unleashed his incredibly tyrannical Demon Fist, shattering their attacks one by one.
’King Jiale is so powerful! Wei Tuxian and I alone are no match for him.’
A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand. Countless Crystal Gu flew out, their hideous maws wide open as they lunged straight for King Jiale.
"Demon Flame!!"
King Jiale gave a sinister smile and spat.
A stream of dark blue Demon Flame shot out, spraying toward the Crystal Gu. Against insectoid monsters, Flame Class magic and abilities were the most effective.
Mysterious Curse Seals appeared on the body of each Crystal Gu. In a bizarre display, they passed right through the Demon Flame, lunging at King Jiale like bolts of lightning. They opened their incredibly sharp maws and bit down hard on his Void Demon Membrane.
In an instant, King Jiale was enveloped by the countless Crystal Gu, which began to frantically tear at his body.
"Get off me!!"
King Jiale roared in fury. A monstrous wave of Demonic Qi surged from him, forming a terrifying storm that sent the Crystal Gu flying.
"Heaven Opening!!"
Like a phantom, Wei Tuxian appeared behind King Jiale. His Heaven Opening technique, harnessing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in a ten-mile radius, smashed viciously into King Jiale’s back.
A large hole was blasted into King Jiale’s Protective Void Demon Membrane, and he spat out a mouthful of Demon Blood.
Plumes of Demon Cloud appeared. From within them, a terrifying Sword Aura capable of sundering all things emerged. It silently and viciously struck King Jiale, carving a wound so deep that bone was visible and sending a spray of Demon Blood across the ground.
If not for King Jiale’s absurdly powerful Defense, that one strike would have sliced him in two.
"Get lost!!"
A savage light glinted in King Jiale’s eyes. He frantically channeled the Power of Void Demon and spat a mouthful of blue Demon Dragon Breath directly at Wei Tuxian.
Demon Dragon Breath was a Talent ability of the Dragon Demon Clan, and its power was absolutely terrifying. It was King Jiale’s strongest Attack Secret Technique. He had always looked down on Wei Tuxian and Shu Feng, treating their battle as a game. Only now did true killing intent finally surge within him.
"Not good! Eight Immortal Slaying Techniques—Heaven and Earth Spinning Technique!!"
Alarm bells screamed in Wei Tuxian’s mind, and his expression changed drastically. He retreated explosively, intertwining his hands to draw on the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. One circular Profound Qi Vortex after another materialized before him.
Heaven and Earth Spinning Technique was a defensive form from the Eight Immortal Slaying Techniques. It embodied the profound principles of yin and yang and the cosmic cycle, arguably the strongest defensive move in the Black Tortoise Realm.
Layer after layer of bizarre, twisting Profound Qi Vortexes enveloped the blue Demon Dragon Breath.
The bizarre, twisting Profound Qi Vortexes collapsed one after another, but the blue Demon Dragon Breath continued onward like a meteor. It slammed viciously into Wei Tuxian, transforming into a ball of blue flame that completely devoured him.
The next moment, a pale-faced Wei Tuxian appeared off to the side, the clothes on his upper body completely gone. He had used the Golden Cicada Shell technique to evade King Jiale’s fatal blow.
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
The countless Crystal Gu that had been sent flying beat their wings, forming a crystalline cloud of insects as they lunged straight for King Jiale.
"You pack of insects! All of you, die!"
A savage glint flashed in King Jiale’s eyes. As his Demonic Qi churned, he threw a Demon Fist. His right fist became a terrifying vortex of Demonic Qi, sucking in the countless Crystal Gu before he smashed his fist into the swarm.
Struck by King Jiale’s punch, the countless Crystal Gu immediately scattered like a spray of pebbles.
Riding atop plumes of Demon Cloud and imbuing his attack with the True Intent of Clouds, Shu Feng slashed down. A terrifying torrent of Sword Qi shot madly toward King Jiale.
King Jiale lashed out with a backhand claw. A surge of Demonic Qi erupted, shattering the Sword Qi.
Wei Tuxian struck with Demon Destruction, blasting a bloody hole in King Jiale’s waist.
The countless Crystal Gu that had been blasted away by King Jiale’s punch quickly flew back and lunged at him.
’They’re not dead? Such terrifying Defense Power! What in the world are these Gu Insects?’
A look of surprise flashed through King Jiale’s eyes. Even within the Black Tortoise Realm, his combat power was still terrifying. Not even Wei Tuxian dared to take one of his punches head-on, yet these Crystal Gu Insects had managed to survive a direct hit. It was simply horrifying.
"However, insectoid creatures are born with weak souls! Soul Destruction Technique!!"
King Jiale was a Void Demon King, an expert seasoned by countless battles. Rings of mysterious, unfathomable Curse Seals, filled with endless killing intent, appeared in his pupils.
A ring of black Soul-Annihilating Death Light swept toward the Crystal Gu.
The Crystal Gu, which could even withstand Demon Flame, immediately began to fall from the sky like rain.
Plumes of Demon Cloud appeared once more, and a terrifyingly powerful wave of Sword Qi viciously struck King Jiale, carving a horrifying gash into his body.
At the same time, Wei Tuxian’s Immortal Fall slammed into King Jiale, tearing open a massive, bloody hole in his body.
"Begone!"
A savage glint flashed in King Jiale’s eyes as he swung his Demon Fist, smashing it toward the two experts, Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian.
Wei Tuxian retreated explosively, not daring to confront the Demon Fist head-on.
Shu Feng slashed down with his sword, conjuring plumes of Demon Cloud. However, they were instantly shattered one by one under the impact of King Jiale’s incomparably tyrannical punch, and Shu Feng himself was forced back several steps.
After forcing back Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian with his Demon Fist, a truly despairing scene unfolded.
The wounds on King Jiale’s body healed at a rate visible to the naked eye. In the span of a single breath, his injuries had completely recovered.
Both Wei Tuxian’s and Shu Feng’s eyes narrowed.
No matter what kind of injury King Jiale sustained, it would heal in an instant. This terrifying regenerative ability was enough to drive anyone to despair.
King Jiale said lightly, "Not bad! Wei Tuxian, Han Feng, you two are indeed very strong. To think you actually consumed ten percent of my Power of Void Demon is truly remarkable. However, how much longer can the two of you last in your current state?"
