Chapter 167: Doraemon An Ziyang

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

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

Boom!

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

But the Miao King was gone.

Li Miao frowned, flashed forward, and struck the cracked ground with a leg axe.

Boom!!

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

Below the Pupa Chamber, it was empty!

Below, it was Gu insects churning like the sea.

It turned out that the pool in the Pupa Chamber where Gu insects were stored was not a "cage," but a "feeding trough" for raising Gu insects.

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

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

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

She lifted her face, looking at Li Miao and Yong Jie.

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

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

"But the Gu insects here are also the strongest. 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 flesh, and I can also use the Gu insects to hide my figure. If you want to kill me, you must come down personally and then kill these countless Gu insects."

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

"Too much nonsense."

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

"Little Xiao Anzi!"

"Coming! Master!"

An Ziyang poked his head out from the passage.

"Killing bugs, bring something useful."

"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 shafts, bundled them with the things he had just taken out, and threw them toward Li Miao.

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

"Before you said you were coming to the Miao region, I figured you'd likely run into venomous insects, so I added some star anise powder to the kerosene; they are all the best, and they produce the most smoke when burned!"

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

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 had thrown over and looked at the Miao King in the cave.

At this moment, her expression had already darkened.

No matter how outstanding her Wu Gong was, it was just greater strength and faster speed. The nature of True Energy also only had abstract distinctions like Yang-hard, Yin-cold, scorching, and domineering; the Jianghu of the Great Shuo had not yet reached the level of cultivation, and could not sprinkle fire out of thin air. Therefore, the Miao King was not very afraid of Wu Gong. Anyway, there were plenty of Gu insects, and she could be reborn; she could just let Li Miao kill them, just seeing who couldn't hold on first.

But she was afraid of these things An Ziyang had thrown over.

What Gu insects feared, she feared.

Deliberately dragging the battlefield to this place far from the Twelve Sect Branches' village was also to prevent Li Miao from going back to get kerosene and such, and then coming back to find trouble with her.

Yet she didn't expect that An Ziyang, whom she had least put in her eyes, would be the one with the greatest threat.

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

Li Miao tore open the cloth bag and sprinkled all the powder out.

An Ziyang was careful, even hanging a piece of 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 a finger.

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

!

Boom!

As soon as they took flight, they were shaken away by Li Miao from a distance.

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

Whoosh! ——

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

The flames burned along the smoke trail, and suddenly surging smoke rose, floating and drifting, enveloping 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 more similar to a Gu insect. After Li Miao tore apart 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 mist, the Miao King could still hold on.

The most lethal thing was that An Ziyang had added Seven-Star Begonia and star anise powder.

Seven-Star Begonia was a poisonous herb from overseas, and venomous insects had absolutely no resistance to it. Star anise powder was a medicinal herb specifically for driving away insects; one thing overcomes another, and it didn't do much harm to humans, but to the Miao King's half-human, half-venomous insect body, it was exactly the right match.

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

The previously healed wounds also split open one after another, dropping countless insect corpses.

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

Li Miao and Yong Jie had already jumped down, rushing straight at her.

Both were old hands at fighting; how could they let go of this opportunity! Strike while she's down, take her life!

Yong Jie landed first, flashing directly behind the Miao King, relying on his "Vajra" to ignore the biting of the Gu insects, raising his fists, and striking violently!

"Sky-Propping Fist," fifth style, Stone Breaks and Heaven Startles!

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

Yong Jie succeeded in one strike, without the slightest pause, his hands raised violently, locking onto the Miao King's shoulders, locking her in place.

"Patron Li!"

Li Miao did not let go of this opportunity either; his figure blurred for a moment, 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 contracting pupils, Li Miao did not speak.

Boom!

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