Chapter 3166
The Supreme Insect had long been eyeing Hunting Tide, because every time it took an arrow from her, the next one was even more painful, and the injuries caused were even more severe.
The Deformed Blade: Hatred slashed toward Hunting Tide. Looking at the posture, it was clearly intended to cut Hunting Tide in two.
Click~
Ice suddenly appeared on the Supreme Insect's arm, and then a large area of ice spread over its body. Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, Amu, whose chest had been chewed into a bloody mess by nematodes, raised one hand. As he clenched his fist, the ice sealed the Supreme Insect. This was an ice trap he had set up long ago.
Amu is indeed like a blockhead in normal times. If he is hungry while washing his face, he can eat the soap and then sit in the corner of the wall blowing bubbles for the whole morning—scented bubbles, at that.
But in battle, Amu is not a blockhead at all. He knew from the beginning that he couldn't block the charging Supreme Insect head-on. What he had to block were the Supreme Insect's long-range methods, and after the Supreme Insect rushed over, he had to stall it for a short time. Only in this way could Hunting Tide possibly survive.
The Supreme Insect had just been frozen into an ice sculpture when cracks appeared on the ice. Amu's ice could not trap the Supreme Insect.
Boom!!
A wave of air spread out, and the ice layer exploded into powder. Su Xiao kicked the Supreme Insect directly in the abdomen. The Supreme Insect was like being hit by a train, turning into a blur as it flew toward the tree wall. After a roar, a large section of the tree wall caved in, and dead branches flew everywhere.
Hunting Tide felt a sense of relief in her heart. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her collar, which made her cheek twitch, but in the middle of a battle, she had to endure it.
"Many thanks..."
Hunting Tide had just spoken when she found herself thrown up. However, she felt this was normal; her side's main force wanted to throw her out to create distance from the enemy.
"Yi~"
Hunting Tide screamed in surprise, caught off guard. The reason was that her abdomen had been struck hard. Her 'teammate' wasn't throwing her out to save her, but to maintain a direct line of sight toward the Supreme Insect, first tossing her up and then side-kicking her away like a ball. After taking that kick, Hunting Tide suddenly felt less confident in her title as the number one beauty of the Tianba.
Just after landing, Hunting Tide clutched her abdomen, almost vomiting a mouthful of sour bile.
Amu had been severely wounded and was resisting the erosion of the nematodes to prevent them from burrowing into important parts like his heart and brain. He couldn't cover Hunting Tide for a while, so Baha had to step in.
Hunting Tide's ability development was too extreme. Once the Supreme Insect got close, if others didn't cover her in time, she would surely die. But if given the chance to attack, from the start of the battle until now, the damage she had caused to the Supreme Insect was even higher than Su Xiao's.
Under the tree wall, with a snap, broken wood splattered. The Supreme Insect walked out from the hole in the tree wall, and then it glared at Hunting Tide.
Hunting Tide's brain buzzed. She no longer cared about her peerless beauty and slapped her own cheek.
With a slap, a spurt of blood flew out from Hunting Tide's right ear canal, and a wriggling nematode could be seen inside.
Hunting Tide knelt on one knee, vomiting a mouthful of black-red blood. She wanted to get up and continue fighting, but her body felt soft, and she felt lightheaded.
"Damn, ADC, you're too damn squishy."
Baha was speechless. Hunting Tide had just been glared at and had already lost her combat effectiveness in a short time. As Baha was thinking this, retribution came; the Supreme Insect's gaze turned to him.
Baha's body stiffened immediately, and he fell to the ground with a thud, a piercing pain appearing in his abdomen. Hunting Tide, on the side, gritted her teeth and used her last bit of strength to pat Baha, the Power of Source gathering in her hand.
With a slap, the Power of Source passed through Baha's body, and he spat out black-red blood, inside which was a wriggling nematode.
"Grandma, you're awesome!"
Baha's tone changed drastically. Just now, he couldn't blame Hunting Tide for having weak survivability; this ability was truly hard to handle.
At the edge of the battlefield, Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment, witnessed everything. He was panicked to the extreme, his butt almost scared cold, praying to himself that the Supreme Insect would never look at him.
Located more than ten meters in front of the Supreme Insect, Su Xiao pulled a half-dead nematode out of his right upper arm. He did not fear this thing. Just now, when he looked at the nematode, one suddenly appeared inside Su Xiao's body, and then this nematode almost died. Su Xiao had Green Steel Shadow energy in his body, so dealing with such parasites was very simple.
"Blade Dao Blade: Green Ghost."
Su Xiao slashed diagonally and rushed straight toward the Supreme Insect. Right now, he could only rely on himself; Baha, Amu, and Hunting Tide all needed to recover for a while before they could possibly provide reinforcements.
Green Ghost cut through a blur, heading straight for the Supreme Insect's neck. Just a few days ago, Green Ghost had slashed a rule-breaker, which made Su Xiao prepare to further develop Green Ghost in the near future, striving for a breakthrough.
Snap!
Green Ghost was shattered by the Deformed Blade: Hatred in the Supreme Insect's hand. Su Xiao, who was rushing at full speed, witnessed this scene, and the thought of developing Green Ghost in his heart faded a little.
Clang, clang!
After Su Xiao and the enemy exchanged two slashes, his right arm felt faintly numb.
"Blade Dao Blade: Extreme."
Su Xiao slashed the "ordinary" third blade. The Supreme Insect was just about to hold the Deformed Blade: Hatred horizontally to block when its eyes widened. This blade was wrong! It often used this kind of attack that looked ordinary but was actually a killing move.
The Deformed Blade: Hatred in the Supreme Insect's hand changed; the bright red flesh on it began to surge, and nematodes poked out one by one.
Clang!!
The two blades clashed, blood energy and broken nematodes drifting in the air. Su Xiao retreated a step and a half, and the Supreme Insect retreated half a step.
In this battle, one must never fight a war of attrition with the Supreme Insect. Every time the opponent consumes Abyss Power to use an ability, it recovers health. In addition, it can recover 5% of its health every second. It has harmed too many worlds, and its foundation is too terrifying.
Just now, Hunting Tide risked her life to shoot many arrows at the Supreme Insect, but until now, the Supreme Insect's health had recovered to 100%. This guy's momentum was as if it would never fall.
Clang!
The force coming from the blade suddenly increased. Su Xiao lowered his body, and the Deformed Blade: Hatred slashed over his head with a whoosh. The wind pressure lifted his hair, and a nematode poking out from the Deformed Blade: Hatred left a bloodstain on Su Xiao's face.
That's right, this is the Deformed Blade: Hatred. It is not just a slash plus blunt impact. Every time it slashes, even if you dodge its heavy strike, if you are too close to it, you will be cut by those nearly 50-centimeter-long nematodes poking out from the blade's muscle. These nematodes are covered in barbs and were born for this purpose.
Dodging a heavy horizontal slash from the Supreme Insect, Su Xiao had already brushed past the Supreme Insect, slashing several high-speed consecutive strikes at its spine.
The blade edge cut through the Supreme Insect's dark white horny skin, then broke through the flesh, until it slashed to its metal-textured bones.
With a clatter, one of the bones inside the Supreme Insect was cut off by Su Xiao. After this blade slashed through, a smear of bright red blood stained the tip of the blade. You know, the Supreme Insect's blood is black-red, and bright red is Kingsley's blood.
Zing, zing, zing.
Blade light flickered. After Su Xiao slashed many times, he lowered his body again, and the Deformed Blade: Hatred slashed over him again. It looked elegant and dashing, but in reality, Su Xiao's situation was very dangerous. He slashed the Supreme Insect several times, or even a dozen times, and the opponent might not die, but if the opponent slashed him once, he would immediately fall into a disadvantage.
At this time, the Supreme Insect was actually not having a good time either. Its current form was too clumsy. Forms like "Life Devour" and "Total Consumption" could no longer be used after the battle with the Moon Wolf, unless it could recover to a perfect body through Kingsley and then devour all living beings in several worlds; only then could it possibly recover.
Puchi, puchi.
Two slash marks appeared on the Supreme Insect's chest, and the spurting blood turned into tentacles as if it had life, returning into the wounds on the Supreme Insect's body.
The Supreme Insect suddenly stopped moving, and a cold light struck, leaving a black mark in the air. This was the space of an Eighth-Tier world being cut open for an instant. It had nothing to do with spatial ability; it was purely a blade technique that cut open space for an instant.
"Blade Dao Blade: Extreme."
One blade slashed across the Supreme Insect's neck. Before Su Xiao could follow up, the blood spurting from the Supreme Insect's neck shot out.
This blood made a buzzing sound and then released terrifying heat, exploding with a boom.
Scorching blood flames attacked Su Xiao from all directions. A crystal layer emerged on his body surface, but he still felt a burning pain.
A huge force suddenly attacked from his side waist. Su Xiao immediately reinforced the crystal layer on his side waist. He had already thought that it was the Supreme Insect swinging the Deformed Blade: Hatred, slashing at his side waist with all its might.
Su Xiao broke through a wave of air and was slashed away, leaving a trail of blood along the way.
With a thud, Su Xiao fell to the ground dozens of meters away. He adjusted his posture, using the force of the backward flight to make himself half-kneel on the ground, sliding back a distance before stopping.
Su Xiao stood up, one hand pressed on his side waist, energy threads spreading from his hand. His side waist had been slashed open by a third; he had to deal with it immediately. If he engaged in a fierce battle with such injuries, his internal organs would be thrown out due to the intense vibration during the clash with the enemy.
The Supreme Insect appeared in front of Su Xiao, the Deformed Blade: Hatred in its hand slashing down at his head. Su Xiao didn't move; he just needed to treat his wounds as quickly as possible.
With a clang, the Deformed Blade: Hatred was blocked by a wide-bladed axe. It was Amu. His lower body was frozen by ice; this was a choice made out of helplessness. If he didn't do this, he would likely be slashed to one knee by one blade, two blades would put him on both knees, and after three blades, only Amu's head would be left exposed, his body buried in the ground.
The Supreme Insect had been blocked by Amu twice in a row and failed to cause permanent attrition to the enemy, which made it start to take Amu seriously.
The Supreme Insect's left hand raised, its index finger pointing at Amu's chest.
Boom.
An arm-thick blood hole appeared on Amu's chest. Amu flew backward with a thud, hitting the tree wall in the distance before stopping. When he fell to the ground, a pool of blood spread under him. This was the Supreme Insect's "Evolution: Life Tribulation" ability, one of its strongest abilities, which almost killed Amu instantly.
It can be said that Amu's mission had been successfully completed, and he could just lie there honestly afterward. Even if this battle was lost, it wasn't his problem.
The moment Amu flew backward, Su Xiao slashed out, but this blade didn't hit the Supreme Insect like before; instead, it was blocked by the Supreme Insect. Its movements were clearly sharper, which meant one thing: it was about to completely occupy Kingsley's body. By then, it would be a perfect body, and its combat power would be even more terrifying than now.
It can be said that how long Kingsley could hold on represented how much combat time Su Xiao had. This was likely the last time they would cooperate, with one person responsible for resisting the Supreme Insect's erosion and the other responsible for killing the Supreme Insect.
The long blade and the Deformed Blade: Hatred clashed consecutively. All the tentacles behind the Supreme Insect dissolved, turning into a translucent curtain draped behind it. As this curtain flew up like wings, the Supreme Insect's speed skyrocketed, and it suddenly flashed to Su Xiao's side.
"Roar."
The Deformed Blade: Hatred in the Supreme Insect's hand smashed into the ground, and an impact attacked from Su Xiao's left side. He was uncontrollably thrown to the right.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking wind attacked from the right. The Supreme Insect held the Deformed Blade: Hatred with both hands, a trace of pleasure in those golden-red pupils. This hateful human who had been slashing around it was finally about to be cut in two by its blade.
Zing~
The edge of the Deformed Blade: Hatred cut through Su Xiao's body, but he was not cut in two; instead, his body began to become translucent. This was him entering the spatial penetration state.
Discovering that Su Xiao had entered the spatial penetration state, the Supreme Insect immediately raised the Deformed Blade: Hatred directly above its head, gripping it tightly with both hands, and began to build up power.
A cyclone spread with the Supreme Insect as the center, and the surrounding ground continued to crack. It was truly a case of the wind and clouds changing, and the temperature even dropped by a few degrees.
If this strike were to be unleashed, it would definitely be shocking. What was even more deadly was that the Supreme Insect didn't build up power when using this move in the past because there was no opportunity. This time it chose to build up power because during the time Su Xiao entered the spatial penetration state, although he wouldn't be injured, he also couldn't interrupt it.
Su Xiao immediately exited the spatial penetration state. The longer he hid, the longer the enemy's move would build up power.
Boom~
As if something had swept away the surrounding air, the Deformed Blade: Hatred in the Supreme Insect's hand fell. The next instant, all sound disappeared, and an impact spread to the surroundings, using the ground as a carrier without destroying it.
The surroundings became a vast expanse of white. Hunting Tide, who was recovering from her injuries, saw a flash of white before her eyes. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in the depression of the tree wall, her whole body feeling as if it had been crushed by a stone mill, the pain causing her to experience a brief moment of dizziness.
Within the white light, the crystal layer on Su Xiao's body peeled off and shattered rapidly. When everything calmed down, his bare upper body was covered in bloodstains, and blood dripped down his chin.
Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, the Supreme Insect arched its body. Clearly, it was not having a good time after using this move, but its state was better than Su Xiao's.
Bang, bang!
The Supreme Insect raided, the Deformed Blade: Hatred in its hand slashing at Su Xiao consecutively. All of the Supreme Insect's abilities were not flashy, but their power was impeccable, and its moves were extremely fast. A glare of the eyes was a big move, a point of the finger was a big move. This was also a thoroughly practical type; all the flashy stuff that lacked power was garbage.
Blocking two heavy slashes with his blade, blood spurted from the wounds on Su Xiao's body, and his internal organs were in turmoil. Although he still had a trump card, he couldn't use it. If he used those abilities now, there was a 90% chance the Supreme Insect wouldn't die and would recover most of its injuries after 20 seconds. By then, it would be Su Xiao who died. He needed an opportunity now.
Blood energy gathered in Su Xiao's hand, forming a blood-colored long spear, which he held in his left hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Su Xiao swung the long spear in his left hand horizontally, cooperating with the Checking Zhan Long Shan in his right hand, suppressing with high-speed slashes. For a time, the Supreme Insect was caught off guard.
If this continued, Su Xiao would be in a situation of certain death; the enemy's recovery ability was too abnormal.
Su Xiao risked angering the "Dead People" and began to manifest 【Death Silence Extinction】. Of course, he was rational. Although he manifested 【Death Silence Extinction】, he didn't activate Death Silence Arrival. Activating Death Silence Arrival when the number of enemies was insufficient would definitely anger the Dead People.
Just manifesting 【Death Silence Extinction】 also had risks. Su Xiao was willing to take this risk to continue suppressing the Supreme Insect.
He had already seen that the opponent's self-healing ability was not completely unsolvable. After that ability was used too frequently, a short "reduction period" would appear. The "reduction period" was the opportunity to kill the Supreme Insect, but to make the Supreme Insect enter the self-healing "reduction period," there must be sufficiently sharp, or even crazy, suppression.
Su Xiao let go of the blood-colored long spear in his hand, and Death Silence Extinction appeared in his left hand. This was a special firearm, initially loaded with 5 Extinction Bullets inside. It belonged to a melee firearm and had powerful destructive power.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Su Xiao fired five shots in a row. Two of them were dodged by the Supreme Insect, and the remaining three slammed into the Supreme Insect's chest, blasting out three bowl-sized holes.
Su Xiao let go of the Death Silence Extinction in his hand, and Death Silence Extinction disappeared into the air. While rushing forward, his left hand reached out and grabbed the blood-colored long spear.
Clang! Clang...
Sparks and blade light were constant. After Su Xiao switched from single-wielding to temporary dual-wielding, the attack frequency was so high that the Supreme Insect was somewhat speechless in its heart. Its strength was clearly stronger than Su Xiao's, and its speed was faster, but it was currently being suppressed and beaten.
"War Soul: Vertical!"
Su Xiao lowered his body, the blood spear in his hand sweeping horizontally, a streak of blood flame sweeping past. This was a move that the Iron Feather King had used. As a technique-type, in Su Xiao's view, this move was not complicated, just like how the Iron Feather King had slashed out Green Ghost during the battle.
With a whoosh, the blood flame engulfed the Supreme Insect. Su Xiao made a throwing posture, throwing the Blood Spear with all his might. After the Blood Spear pierced through consecutive sonic booms, it stabbed into the Supreme Insect's chest and then exploded with a boom.
Within the blood energy, the Supreme Insect grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its health suddenly recovered from 65.9% to 72.3%, and then recovered to 77.5%. If Su Xiao didn't go up and hammer it again, its health would be fully recovered.
"Hoo, hoo~"
Su Xiao breathed out blood energy. His stamina was not infinite; he could only gamble once.
Su Xiao's aura became sharp. At the same time, the Supreme Insect's gaze began to become solemn, not only because of the change in Su Xiao's aura, but also because Kingsley's consciousness was attempting to seize control of the body. This made the Supreme Insect feel incredible. From the moment it was born until now, it was the first time it had seen such a human.
The Supreme Insect knew it couldn't drag it out any longer; it had to kill Su Xiao as soon as possible, otherwise, a big problem would arise. It wasn't just about the victory of this battle, but also about whether it could return to a perfect body.
Now its enemy was not only that strong enemy holding a blade, but also another person inside its body. The resilience of this person's will was not even in the same concept as the likes of Emperor Taiyatu or Athos Bacon.
"Roar!!"
The Supreme Insect roared, the Abyss Power inside its body exhausted. Nematodes appeared in the surroundings, at least tens of thousands of them.
After these nematodes appeared, they split at a speed that doubled every 0.2 seconds. In an instant, the surroundings turned into a sea of nematodes, making one's scalp tingle, a chill rushing from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. This was the Insect Domain.
The Supreme Insect lifted one hand and gradually clenched its fist.
Zing!
A crisp sound of slashing. Pale blue slashes appeared. It wasn't just the Supreme Insect that had domain-type abilities; Su Xiao's Blade Domain was activated.
Countless slash marks were distributed around Su Xiao. As he rushed forward, the nematodes along the way were all shredded. Seeing this, the Supreme Insect held the Deformed Blade: Hatred and met Su Xiao.
The Supreme Insect had certainly seen enemies with domains, but it had its own advantages; its Insect Domain lasted long enough.
The Blade Domain moved forward with Su Xiao's raid, and the next second it engulfed the Supreme Insect. Slash marks swept across the Supreme Insect's body, blood and flesh splattering, but the Supreme Insect didn't care at all.
Just then, a crystal battle scythe was constructed in Su Xiao's hand. He swung the crystal battle scythe, and the scythe shattered before hitting the Supreme Insect, turning into a slash chain that engulfed the Supreme Insect.
"Hu... man!!"
The Supreme Insect roared, its whole body as if it had been cut into thousands of pieces. With its Abyss Power exhausted, it took Su Xiao's Green Shadow King. This was the Supreme Insect; if it were any other enemy, they would have died on the spot.
In the roar, a green line appeared in the center of the Supreme Insect's torso. And opposite the Supreme Insect, Su Xiao, who was about to swing his blade to kill, immediately changed his strategy, just slashing across the Supreme Insect's chest with an ordinary blade. After taking the Green Shadow King for 0.3 seconds, this enemy's health suddenly recovered to 37.8%, exceeding the execution line.
This was thanks to the Moon Wolf. Last time, failing to kill the Moon Wolf made Su Xiao take precautions in this regard; otherwise, he would have activated the Magic Blade just now, and the result would have been failing to kill it with one slash.
The Supreme Insect jumped backward consecutively. It knew that as long as it created distance now, it would be the final winner. I don't know how many strong people have died on this point.
In the distance, Hunting Tide climbed up from the ground. She took out a long, strip-shaped metal box from her bosom. After opening it, it was a syringe. This was "Aurora," a super-effective stimulant in alchemy. After injection, not only would one not fear pain, but one would also feel excited because of the pain, and attention would be more concentrated.
Hunting Tide stabbed this syringe called "Aurora" into her neck and injected it. Her pupils turned amber. Because of the damage this drug caused to the capillaries, light blue "patterns" appeared on her neck.
Hunting Tide was ready, but unfortunately, it was of no use. Without Su Xiao holding the front, the hit rate of her arrows was not high, and the Supreme Insect's speed was there.
The feeling of stuffiness in Su Xiao's chest receded a little, and his combat power naturally recovered. He checked the Supreme Insect's current health, which had already recovered to 52.8%.
Just as Su Xiao held the Sun's Wrath: Apollo, preparing to force the enemy to praise the sun, a human arm suddenly poked out from the Supreme Insect's neck.
"Bai Ye... this is... the last... Boundary Thunder."
An intermittent voice came. With a boom, the sky was filled with golden lightning, and the human arm poking out from the Supreme Insect's neck gripped with all its might.
"Reptile... your death date... has arrived."
Crack!
A shocking super-giant golden lightning gathered. Seeing this, the corner of Su Xiao's eye twitched imperceptibly, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
As for why Kingsley knew Su Xiao could use Boundary Thunder, it was a simple truth: if Su Xiao couldn't use Boundary Thunder, would he go to such great lengths to get the Lightning-Attracting Secret Method and let the protagonist team nourish the Blood of Fate? Kingsley knew these things, so of course, he thought Su Xiao could use Boundary Thunder.
Su Xiao jumped up with all his might, meeting the golden lightning striking down from the sky. The Supreme Insect saw this scene, a trace of confusion in its eyes. Even so, it still prepared to create distance.
The golden lightning struck down. Su Xiao raised the long blade in his hand, and the energy in his body constructed a unique circuit, successfully connecting the lightning.
Golden arcs surged on the long blade in Su Xiao's hand, and his falling speed accelerated suddenly. Before landing, he swung the long blade in his hand.
"Heaven's Wrath: Thunder Fall!"
Zzzzt.
A large area of golden lightning spread out. This golden lightning was too strong; even though the Supreme Insect was creating distance, it was still affected.
The Supreme Insect trembled from the electricity. And diagonally opposite, Hunting Tide had already nocked an arrow. The arrow in her hand turned completely water-blue, filled with the Power of Source.
Bang!
The slender arrow pierced through the Supreme Insect's skull in the next instant, and the Supreme Insect's skull tilted backward.
"Even the Moon Wolf couldn't... defeat me! Just by you guys..."
Puchi.
Slash!
A slash carrying black-blue smoke swept past. Everything around seemed to turn into a black-and-white ink painting, only the blood spurting from the Supreme Insect's neck and Su Xiao's eyes, which were emitting blue light, had color.
Checking Zhan Long Shan slowly returned to its sheath. With a click, the Supreme Insect in front of Su Xiao knelt to the ground with a thud, its body rapidly turning into fly ash. The Supreme Insect was not killed; what was killed was the body of this form. This body had an independent soul, while the Supreme Insect's main body had Kingsley's isolation and was not killed by this blade. After all, the Supreme Insect was symbiotic with Kingsley. More importantly, the Magic Blade kills whatever it slashes, not according to what Su Xiao thinks in his heart.
As the external body turned into fly ash, Kingsley's figure appeared. His clothes were tattered, his figure was skin and bones, and many bones in his body seemed to have dissolved.
However, Kingsley still maintained his back-combed hairstyle; a typical case of "one can die, but the hairstyle cannot be messy."
Kingsley's eyes opened, his gaze very calm.
"Bai Ye, it's right in my head. Don't hesitate, its second form is coming. I'm going to... lose control."
"Ah."
Su Xiao's right index and middle fingers joined together, stabbing into Kingsley's glabella with a puchi, stabbing into Kingsley's skull. Su Xiao's fingers clamped onto a wriggling object and pulled hard.
A nearly 10-centimeter-long golden nematode was clamped between Su Xiao's fingers. This was the Supreme Insect's main body, and it was desperately biting the crystal layer on Su Xiao's index finger.
Seeing this scene, Kingsley, whose glabella was bleeding, smiled, smiling exceptionally happily. He said, "Die, you stinking bug."
Su Xiao threw the Supreme Insect between his fingers onto the stone slab on the ground, stepped forward with his left foot, and stepped on it with a slap. He even ground it left and right with the sole of his forefoot to ensure the Supreme Insect was crushed into minced meat.
The Supreme Insect, crushed and killed.
