Chapter 151

Yongjie dealt with the surging Gu insects, but Li Miao was not idle.

He raised his hand and unleashed a "Great Nine Heavens Palm," enveloping the humanoid figure covered in Gu insects.

Bang!

The corpses of the Gu insects flew like waves, splashing in mid-air.

But, the Miao King was gone from among them.

Li Miao frowned, flashed forward, and smashed a leg-axe down on the cracked ground.

Bang!!

The ground for several zhang around suddenly sank, actually cracking and collapsing!

Below the Pupa Room, it was empty!

Below, it was actually Gu insects churning like seawater.

It turned out that in the Pupa Room, the pool that held the Gu insects was not a "cage" at all, but a "trough" for feeding Gu insects.

The Miao people transported corpses here to feed the Gu insects, and then took Gu insects from the "trough" to cultivate Pupa Girls. This Pupa Room was simply built above the Gu insect nest. Or rather, below this visible "Pupa Room" was the real "Pupa Room."

Li Miao stepped into the air, his body floating, landing on the ground to the side, and looked at the hole.

Below the hole, Gu insects churned, revealing a snow-white human body; it was the Miao King.

She looked up at Li Miao and Yongjie.

"The two of you, this is where my clan raises Gu insects. For thousands of years, the mother Gu of all the Gu insects in my clan basically came from here."

"I originally didn't want to use these Gu insects, because the Gu insects here are the 'originals,' and all the mother Gu are cultivated from here. After they die, my clan is equivalent to losing the inheritance of this line of Gu insects; for every one that dies, the inheritance of witchcraft and Gu weakens by a point."

"But, the Gu insects here are also the strongest. Being here, I am also the strongest."

"Being here, as long as these Gu insects are not all dead, I can use them to replenish my body and also use the Gu insects to hide my figure. If you want to kill me, you must come down yourselves and then kill these countless Gu insects."

"Come on. Let's see if your internal energy runs out first, or if my Gu insects are first—"

"Too much nonsense."

Before the Miao King finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Miao.

"Little An!"

"Coming! Master!"

An Ziyang poked his head out from the passage.

"Kill insects, bring some useful stuff."

"Alright, catch this!"

An Ziyang raised his hand and reached into his bosom, pulling out a cloth bag. Then he took a bulging strap from the outside of his thigh, removed the sleeve arrows from his wrist, pulled out a few, bundled them together with the things he had taken out before, and threw them toward Li Miao.

"Master! The bag has Tang Men poison, kerosene, and corpse-dissolving water; the arrow shafts have arsenic and crane-top red; the strap has Seven-Star Begonia from overseas, ground into powder after being dried."

"Before you said you were coming to the Miao territory, I thought you would likely run into Gu insects, so I added some insect-repelling mangcao powder to the kerosene; they are all the best, and they make the most smoke when burned!"

"You use these first! If it's not enough, I have other things!"

Li Miao waved his hand.

"Alright, if these don't work, you won't be of any use either; go rest."

"Alright, you get busy, I'll wait here; if you need anything, just say the word!"

An Ziyang pulled his head back into the passage.

Li Miao took the things An Ziyang threw over and looked at the Miao King in the cave.

At this moment, her expression had already sunk.

No matter how outstanding martial arts were, they were just greater strength and faster speed. The nature of internal energy was only abstractly distinguished into yang, cold, scorching, and domineering; the Jianghu of the Great Shu had not yet reached the point of cultivating immortals, and could not sprinkle fire out of thin air. Therefore, the Miao King was not very afraid of martial arts. Anyway, there were plenty of Gu insects, and she could be reborn; she would just let Li Miao kill them, and see who couldn't hold on first.

But, she was afraid of the things An Ziyang threw over.

What Gu insects were afraid of, she was afraid of.

Deliberately dragging the battlefield to this place far from the Twelve Branches' village was also to prevent Li Miao from going back to get kerosene and other things and coming back to trouble her.

Yet she didn't expect that An Ziyang, whom she had looked down upon the most, was the one who posed the greatest threat.

What kind of path did that kid have! How did he hide so many things on his body!?

Li Miao tore open the cloth bag and raised his hand to sprinkle all the powder down.

An Ziyang was careful and even hung a flint on the sleeve arrow.

Li Miao picked up a piece of cloth, dipped it in kerosene, scraped the flint against the waist token at his waist, and lit the cloth strip.

He raised his hand and threw the burning cloth strip into the dust.

The Miao King gritted her teeth and pointed.

Countless Gu insects surged up like a tide, vibrating their wings, meeting the cloth strip, intending to catch it.

!

Bang!

As soon as they took flight, they were scattered by Li Miao's palm from the air.

So the Miao King could only watch helplessly as the cloth strip fell into the dust Li Miao had sprinkled earlier.

Boom!—

The things An Ziyang prepared were indeed good things; as soon as the cloth strip touched the dust, sparks exploded violently.

The flames burned along the smoke trail, and suddenly thick smoke rose, drifting and covering both the Gu insects and the Miao King.

"Ah!!"

The Miao King, who hadn't made a sound even when Li Miao tore her flesh and crushed her heart, let out a shrill scream.

Her body, compared to a human, was already closer to a Gu insect. After Li Miao tore off most of her flesh, she relied even more on the Gu insects in her body to be reborn.

If it were just kerosene or poisonous fog, the Miao King could still hold on.

The most lethal thing was that An Ziyang added Seven-Star Begonia and mangcao powder to it.

Seven-Star Begonia was a poisonous herb from overseas, and Gu insects had no resistance to it at all. Mangcao powder was a herb specifically for repelling insects; one thing conquered another, and it didn't do much harm to humans, but it was exactly the right medicine for the Miao King's half-human, half-Gu body.

Seeing the Miao King's graceful, snow-white, naked body suddenly swell with dense blisters, which then burst one after another, oozing pus.

The wounds that had healed before also split open one after another, and countless insect corpses fell out from them.

She covered her face and wailed continuously, the Gu insects under her feet surging, trying to crawl into her body to repair her flesh.

Li Miao and Yongjie had already jumped down and rushed straight at her.

Both were experts experienced in fighting; how could they let go of this opportunity! Strike while she's down, take her life!

Yongjie landed first, directly flashing behind the Miao King, relying on his "Diamond" to ignore the biting of the Gu insects, raised his fists, and struck violently!

"Heaven-Supporting Fist" fifth move, Earth-Shattering!

The momentum was great, flesh and blood splattered, and his fists directly pierced through the Miao King's chest and abdomen, penetrating from her chest!

Yongjie succeeded in one strike, without the slightest pause, his hands suddenly raised, locking the Miao King's shoulders, locking her.

"Benefactor Li!"

Li Miao also didn't miss this opportunity; his figure blurred, and he appeared in front of the Miao King, raising his hand to grab that beautiful head in his hand.

Looking at the Miao King's suddenly constricted pupils, Li Miao didn't speak.

Bang!

The Miao King's head suddenly exploded in Li Miao's hand!
