Protagonist:
Yu Changsheng
Once Qi Liu San's subordinates were almost exhausted, Yang Xi immediately directed Yu Changsheng and the others to fill in.
Yu Changsheng had also long wanted to test just how strong this Black-Armored Saint Insect truly was.
The defense of a Fifth Rank Spirit Beast that could leave this entire group of experts completely helpless — just how terrifying was it?
Lu Chengfeng quickly retreated, sitting not far away to meditate and recover his mana.
Yu Changsheng leaped to a distant rise, then summoned Chi Lian the Purgatory Dragon.
He then commanded Chi Lian the Purgatory Dragon to spray scorching flames at the Black-Armored Saint Insect's carapace.
Violent flames surged forth like a fire serpent, stirring up bursts of sparks and blazing fire upon that heavy shell.
However, even Chi Lian the Purgatory Dragon's flames still posed no threat whatsoever to the Black-Armored Saint Insect's carapace.
"Ho, truly hard enough — not only impervious to blades and spears, but also immune to water and fire. This Fifth Rank Spirit Insect really isn't an easy one to deal with."
Yu Changsheng gazed into the distance, looking toward the other directions; the attacks of the other few people were likewise mere drizzle.
They posed almost no threat at all to the Spirit Insect.
Although these mosquito-like attacks couldn't achieve much effect, they could continuously harass the Black-Armored Saint Insect.
Making it constantly want to eliminate Yu Changsheng and the others.
The size difference between the two sides was too great; the Black-Armored Saint Insect also found it difficult to directly attack them.
Suddenly.
The Black-Armored Saint Insect stopped its constant rolling and froze in place on the ground.
Everyone's expressions trembled — could it be that the Black-Armored Saint Insect had exhausted its stamina? Qi Liu San also leaped up directly from the ground, looking at the motionless Black-Armored Saint Insect with an excited face.
Seeing that the Black-Armored Saint Insect truly showed no intention of rising again, he immediately went forward and said: "This insect has certainly exhausted its stamina. Let's go take a look."
He then immediately led his men to approach.
Yu Changsheng frowned, recalling Chi Lian the Purgatory Dragon; flight was impossible here, and Chi Lian the Purgatory Dragon could not exert its full strength either, so leaving it outside would only be inconvenient.
At this moment Lu Chengfeng also came over and said: "I feel something's off — don't go over there."
"Oh?"
Yu Changsheng was momentarily surprised — not because Lu Chengfeng said the situation was wrong.
But surprised that this Lu Chengfeng would actually warn him.
"Hehe, many thanks for the Holy Son's good intentions. However, I see that insect still won't be so easily exhausted of stamina, so naturally I won't go join that commotion."
Yu Changsheng had personally witnessed a Fifth Rank Spirit Beast before.
The terror of that Fifth Rank Spirit Beast remains vivid in his memory to this day; he certainly wouldn't believe a Fifth Rank Spirit Beast could fall so easily.
Qi Liu San approached not far from the Black-Armored Saint Insect, carefully observing its outer shell.
"This shell is at least several meters thick, and moreover densely covered in all manner of runes."
"With such a quantity of runes, if they could be engraved onto a defensive Magic Treasure, it would be enough to make that treasure indestructible."
"Cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage absolutely cannot break through its defense!"
The several cultivators behind him listened with great relish.
Their Da Sheng Clan specializes in researching the runes on these Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects and utilizing them, which brought about today's development.
In comparison, the people of Hai Shou Tian Dao prefer to directly refine these materials unchanged into Magic Treasures — the two approaches are completely different.
Seeing the Black-Armored Saint Insect still had no major movement.
Qi Liu San's audacity also began to grow.
He actually directly used his hand to touch those runes; each pattern entranced Qi Liu San completely.
"Hehe, these are all extremely precious runes; if they can all be copied down, it would surely be a tremendous merit."
Another person said: "Team Leader, if this Black-Armored Saint Insect doesn't die, I fear it will be difficult to copy them."
"What should we do?"
Qi Liu San stroked his beard: "This beast's carapace is incomparably hard; even if it lies there motionless, we have no way whatsoever."
"Go, let's look at the head — perhaps there's a way!"
Just as the few people wanted to move toward the Black-Armored Saint Insect's head, the ground suddenly trembled once again.
Qi Liu San's complexion changed drastically; he roared: "Retreat quickly!"
But the timing was already too late — that Black-Armored Saint Insect actually flipped its entire body over right there on the spot.
Unlike before when it only rolled left and right in place, this time it directly turned a full one hundred eighty degrees.
The pitch-black carapace instantly loomed horizontally above the heads of the few people.
Qi Liu San and the others all felt their scalps go numb; if this thing pressed down, the few of them would certainly not survive.
"Run!"
Qi Liu San couldn't care about the others; after a loud shout, he rushed out at the fastest speed.
But flight is impossible here; relying solely on two legs, how far could they run?
Watching the pitch-blackness overhead drawing near before their eyes.
Qi Liu San could only roar fiercely, pull out a Golden Talisman from his hand, and crush it directly in his palm.
Instantly light blazed all around; a giant sword composed of golden talismans appeared out of thin air, stabbing straight toward the Black-Armored Saint Insect's back.
Terrifying Sword Intent swept the surroundings; even Yu Changsheng felt a pang of heart-palpitating dread.
"This sword art absolutely cannot be performed by a Sub-Talisman Cultivator! Could it be that sword move was sealed in the talisman by a Huashen Cultivator!"
The Golden Giant Sword directly crashed into the Black Armor Saint Insect, forcibly knocking that massive body hundreds of meters long flying.
That black armor also began to continuously produce fine cracks, but right at this moment, that Golden Giant Sword also slowly dissipated, transforming into specks of light hiding between heaven and earth.
Even if a Sub-Talisman Cultivator forcibly performs it, it is difficult to sustain; the consumption of magical power is incomparably enormous.
But the effect is still obvious; with this sword unleashed, it directly forcibly knocked the Black Armor Saint Insect flying a hundred meters away.
Although unable to completely break through the Black Armor Saint Insect's defense, it still bought them enough time to withdraw.
After Qi Liu San ran far away, only then did he fearfully look back.
After being knocked flying and landing, that Black Armor Saint Insect became even more enraged, its entire body twisting crazily, destroying everything around it.
Qi Liu San was also sweating profusely; even the Golden Sword Talisman containing a Huashen Cultivator's strike could not achieve too good an effect.
How could they be opponents? Qi Liu San immediately led the people to retreat, and joined up with Hu Ruhai.
At this moment, in his heart he had already begun to beat a retreat.
"It seems, relying on us alone we probably cannot defeat this beast."
"Only by waiting for the Sect's other teams to arrive will there be a chance."
Hu Ruhai at this moment had also stabilized his injuries somewhat and could stand up and move.
Seeing that frenzied Black Armor Saint Insect, he was also at a loss.
Right at this time, Yu Zhangsheng also walked over.
He said to the two: "Hehe, since the two of you have no good ideas, how about listening to a word from me?"
Qi Liu San turned his head to look, and immediately asked: "You have a method?"
'Why didn't you say so earlier?'
Yu Zhangsheng sighed: "If Elder Qi's method had been useful, naturally there would have been no need for my method."
"Right now, Elder Qi's strategy just now has failed, so I only now plan to speak."
Seeing this, Qi Liu San no longer pursued the matter, and continued asking: "Then speak. What is your plan?"
Yu Zhangsheng immediately stated his discovery.
"I merely noticed that when this Black Armor Saint Insect attacks it has no target, indicating its Divine Sense is very low; it can only observe with the naked eye, therefore it cannot capture existences as insignificant as us."
"But even so, when it attacks, it will subconsciously protect its belly, never fully exposing it."
"Even just now when it flipped over to attack, it kept its back facing down, its belly still not facing the ground."
"That is to say, its belly is very likely its weak point."
"If we can make that Black Armor Saint Insect launch that attack once again, we can take the opportunity to attack the weak point on its belly."
Hu Ruhai said: "What you say has some reason to it,"
"But the problem is there is no way to fly in this place; how could one possibly reach the high sky a hundred meters up to launch an attack on that Black Armor Saint Insect's belly."
Qi Liu San stared fixedly at Yu Zhangsheng, looking to see if he had any solution.
"I can do it!"
Before Yu Zhangsheng could speak, Lu Chengfeng behind him suddenly stepped forward.
"My clan has cultivated body arts for generations! Relying on magical power to temper the fleshly body, I have now also reached the level where fists can shatter stone and bones can snap iron."
"As long as you all use full strength to project me out, I can take the opportunity to flip onto that Black Armor Saint Insect's back and launch an attack."
」
"You?"
Qi Liu San looked at Lu Chengfeng's body like stubborn rock, and also felt some anticipation for his performance.
"Good! You can give it a try."
Yu Zhangsheng also said: "Then good, let the two of us go up together to attempt it."
Qi Liu San said: "How so? Could it be you are also a cultivator who specializes in cultivating the fleshly body?"
Yu Zhangsheng shook his head: "No, but I have other methods to take the opportunity to reach that Black Armor Saint Insect's belly; as long as Elder Qi's manpower can create this condition for us once, that is enough."
Hu Ruhai nodded: "Good! Two people always means a greater chance."
"If able to slay this beast, you two shall earn the first merit!"
Qi Liu San immediately organized manpower, continuing to besiege that Black Armor Saint Insect.
Forcing that Black Armor Saint Insect to roll over and attack once again.
And Hu Ruhai's several subordinates were responsible for receiving and projecting Lu Chengfeng above that Black Armor Saint Insect.
As for Yu Zhangsheng, he did not request helpers.
And Lu Chengfeng set out from different directions.
Soon each side's personnel were fully in position; with one command from Qi Liu San, everyone continued to launch attacks on the Black Armor Saint Insect.
Yu Zhangsheng also summoned the Cai Xing Deer. The method he used was also very simple.
That is to borrow the Cai Xing Deer's vines to send himself high up and fall down.
In this way there would be a chance to land above that Black Armor Saint Insect.
However this timing must be grasped very accurately; otherwise Yu Zhangsheng would very likely be directly crushed into meat paste.
Yu Zhangsheng touched the top of the Cai Xing Deer's head, letting it also prepare.
Vines also grew out from the ground; Yu Zhangsheng stood on top of them quietly waiting.
Before long, under everyone's siege, that Black Armor Saint Insect became even more restless.
The amplitude of its body's swaying also began to gradually increase.
"Careful, this beast is going to roll over again!" Qi Liu San immediately roared; with the previous lesson, this time they had also grown smarter and had already begun retreating in advance.
Sure enough, that Black Armor Saint Insect exerted force violently, its entire body instantly flipping over.
It pressed heavily to one side, the hurricane brought by its massive bulk stinging people's faces.
Yu Zhangsheng seized the timing and immediately had Cai Xing control the vines to send him up.
On the other side, Lu Chengfeng was also thrown with full force by several of Hu Ruhai's subordinates, his whole body flying directly into midair; just at the instant the Black Armor Saint Insect landed, Yu Zhangsheng and Lu Chengfeng arrived at the Black Armor Saint Insect's belly almost simultaneously.
Yu Zhangsheng immediately recalled Cai Xing and simultaneously summoned Zi Ling Huang.
The Zi Ling Huang Sword in his hand, under Zi Ling Huang's empowerment, blossomed with ultimate radiance.
"Tai Chu Kai Tian Sword!"
As Yu Zhangsheng murmured, terrifying Sword Intent stabbed straight at a single point like a needle with full force.
Countless Sword Qi, like a swarm of bees, launched a continuous assault on the vulnerable location of the Black Armor Saint Insect's belly.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere; the Black Armor Saint Insect's belly indeed lacked the same toughness as its black armor.
Under Yu Zhangsheng's attack a blood hole had already been revealed.
Yu Zhangsheng also seized the timing and immediately rushed toward that blood hole.
At the same time, Lu Chengfeng also landed on the Black Armor Saint Insect's belly.
Then a fist slammed heavily onto a spot; Lu Chengfeng's fist was like a steel drill, also smashing open a gash in the Black Armor Saint Insect's belly.
"Hahaha, this Fifth Rank Spirit Beast's defense is merely so."
Lu Chengfeng's whole person leaped in, jumping into the Black Armor Saint Insect's body.
Yu Zhangsheng at this moment had also long since entered inside.
The internal flesh and blood continuously squeezed his space, seemingly wanting to expel him from the body. But Yu Zhangsheng, having already entered, would not stay put; the Zi Ling Huang Sword in his hand began to slash recklessly.
Continuously expanding his living space.
However, the flesh and blood of these Fifth Rank Spirit Beasts are truly good things.
Yu Zhangsheng immediately released all his spirit beasts in turn.
Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon and Golden-Winged Great Peng, these two fellows, appeared exceptionally excited the moment they entered.
Yu Zhangsheng smiled: "You two don't run around randomly; in here it's all Fifth Order Spirit Insect flesh and blood, outside you couldn't even touch it."
"You fellows have a feast this time."
Golden-Winged Great Peng immediately opened its beak and continuously devoured the flesh and blood.
The aura on its body also rapidly climbed.
Even Xuan Gui was somewhat shocked seeing such a scene.
"This, how did you enter inside this Fifth Order Spirit Insect's body?"
Yu Zhangsheng smiled: "Turtle Senior, don't consider this. Such a good opportunity is right before your eyes; not eating would be a waste."
Xuan Gui no longer stood on ceremony, immediately opening its huge mouth and beginning to devour.
The other several spirit beasts naturally were not polite either; even Cai Xing joined in.
Several spirit beasts began frantically feeding in different directions; before long they had already eaten out a huge space.
However Yu Zhangsheng knew, although these flesh and blood are good things.
The true essence location is still this Fifth Order Spirit Insect's heart.
Once this Fifth Order Spirit Insect's heart is refined, this Fifth Order Spirit Insect will also perish.
From the start Yu Zhangsheng headed toward the location near the heart.
But he wasn't certain either exactly where this Fifth Order Spirit Insect's heart was located; he could only search slowly. (Chapter End)
