Dashing Student

A black-robed man with a Third Level of Golden Core Stage cultivation stood before Chang Qing, feeling immense pressure, especially since her injuries hadn’t healed, and all she had left was a single Black-armored Centipede.

This Gu Insect could exhale thick smoke, but its main feature was its hard shell, which, when raised, could even be used as a blade.

The most common way to use it was to attach the Black-armored Centipede to one’s arm, making it useful for both offense and defense.

At this moment, Chang Qing was doing just that. Although her strength was far inferior, her heart was full of guilt, combined with intense anger, she was entirely fighting with a life-threatening strategy.

The black-robed man opposite constantly retreated, putting distance between himself and Chang Qing, while continually releasing Gu Insects, planning to exhaust Chang Qing to death.

Previously, they had sent out five people, one of whom had cultivation comparable to Chang Qing, but none returned, so this time they dispatched more than a dozen cultivators from the Heavenly Border.

Determined to make Chang Qing permanently silent.

As for Moon Tower Dong Village, why interfere? Exterminating them would be best.

A Flying Shadow Gu rushed towards Chang Qing, resembling a bee. As it neared Chang Qing, it suddenly released dozens of spikes, each as thin as a needle.

But Chang Qing did not dare to be careless at all, hastily raising her right arm. At that moment, the Black-armored Centipede was already clinging to her arm, its black shell glowing with a dark luster.

It was known that the needles shot by the Flying Shadow Gu could easily penetrate mana defenses, pierce into the body, and circulate with the blood, causing extreme pain every moment.

Ding ding ding...

A continuous clashing sound rang out, all the spikes hit the black armor and were deflected.

Chang Qing stepped forward, swinging her right arm horizontally. The Flying Shadow Gu dodged backward, but unexpectedly, the Black-armored Centipede extended its body, slicing the edge of its shell across the Flying Shadow Gu.

A precious Gu Insect was thus cut into two.

But in the eyes of the black-robed man, there was no ripple, he just summoned another Gu Insect.

Such a shameless fighting style almost made Chang Qing spit blood, yet she could only fight with all her strength.

At this moment, Chen Nan’s voice came through.

"White-eyed wolf, catch!"

Damn fool, calling me a white-eyed wolf again! Chang Qing cursed inwardly, but saw a silver light shooting from Chen Nan’s hand.

Although she had grievances against Chen Nan, she also knew Chen Nan wouldn’t harm her, so she reached out and caught the silver light, finding a small snake about a foot long in her hand.

"Gu Insect? Could that fool be a Gu Master too?"

Chang Qing furrowed her brows deeply, not knowing what Chen Nan was planning, "But it’s just a Gu Insect, can it change the situation now?"

She muttered a low complaint, and upon seeing the small snake a second time, she suddenly froze.

Because on this small snake’s forehead was a vertical mark, clearly a third eye.

Three-eyed Gu Worms weren’t uncommon in the Heavenly Border, but this small snake was rare because it had two small horns on its head!

A snake with horns is a flood dragon! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This was actually a small flood dragon?

At this time, the black-robed man at the Third Level of Golden Core saw Chang Qing suddenly lost in thought, his eyes revealing a fierce light.

"Dare to be distracted while fighting me? Courting death!"

He waved his hand, summoning three Gu Insects simultaneously.

The Ice Silk Gu, capable of spewing silk as tough as iron, could be used for binding.

The Swamp Gu could alter the terrain, trapping Chang Qing’s lower body in the mud, unable to extricate.

The deadly move was his Ice Cone Gu, which could pierce a cultivator’s mana instantly, even shatter the Dantian!

Gently blowing a Bone Flute, the three Gu Insects charged towards Chang Qing simultaneously.

Three Gu Insects surged forward, and the black-robed man smiled with triumph, as if he could already see the scene of Chang Qing’s death.

With Chang Qing dead, the remaining people posed no threat.

But in the next instant, his eyes widened suddenly, his mouth falling open with an incredulous expression.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Because the Gu Insects he released all fell to the ground within a three-zhang radius of Chang Qing, no matter how the black-robed man urged them, the Gu Insects wouldn’t move, as if dead.

Chang Qing awoke as if from a dream, seeing the Gu Insects prostrate on the ground, an absurd guess suddenly popped into her mind.

"Is this... is this a King Gu?"

"No, impossible!"

She staggered back a few steps, but seeing those Gu Insects not daring to approach, and knowing Chen Nan claimed he could cure the Immortal Epidemic, she was already seventy percent convinced in her heart.

"Who exactly are you?"

Chang Qing suddenly raised her head, looking through the crowd at Chen Nan with a complicated gaze.

Incredibly powerful, able to cut down Golden Core with Foundation Establishment Cultivation, equally excellent at medical skills and alchemy, and now even bringing out a King Gu, what was there that he couldn’t do?

The sound of the Bone Flute continued, the distant black-robed man’s forehead already sweating, yet he kept trying to urge the Gu Insects.

For a Gu Master, without Gu Insects, most of their strength was gone.

In cultivation, one trained in magic techniques. Though the body alone wasn’t comparable to that of a body cultivator who refined their body.

But the body of a Heavenly Border Gu Master wasn’t even as strong as an ordinary cultivator’s, only somewhat stronger than a normal person’s.

Different cultivators had varied circumstances.

Interrupting the Bone Flute’s noise, Chang Qing was growing impatient.

"Blow, blow, blow, are you summoning spirits? Today I’ll send you, old thing, to see the Gu God!"

Placing the small snake on her shoulder, Chang Qing cursed and then rushed forward.

The black-robed man was in great anxiety, hastily releasing other Gu Insects, but these Gu Insects, seeing Chang Qing, all retreated, choosing death over attacking.

This thoroughly panicked him, dodging in a sorry state, fear overtaking his heart.

He already guessed why his Gu Insects were all ineffective, which only made him more terrified!

...

On the other side, Chen Nan had no need for the King of Ten Thousand Gu to hold the field; the black-robed men charging into the village had utterly enraged him.

Recalling how whenever he left his house, whether in Huotang Village or Moon Tower Dong Village, people would greet him with great respect.

And now, many had tragically died at the hands of the black-robed men.

Rage burned in his heart, killing intent overfilled his eyes.

Chen Nan charged out, his Void Breaking Sword quietly flying out from within him, while the pitch-black Mo Ying Flame scattered forth like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Seeing a black-robed man about to kill a Moon Tower Dong Village clansman, an invisible Wind Blade shot from Chen Nan’s hand, knocking a Gu Insect away.

At this moment, Chen Nan was only at Third Level of Foundation Establishment, so the power of his spells was too weak.

But he quickly followed the Wind Blade, lightning flashing behind him, reaching the black-robed man’s front in an instant, gripping the neck with one hand, piercing the chest with the other.

Crushing the heart, he casually tossed the black-robed man aside, suddenly raising a foot to stomp heavily.

Not far away, a black-robed man wielding a scimitar was about to attack a little girl only a few years old, when the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened, his body sinking into the soil.

The last scene he saw was Chen Nan rushing over, a foot kicking towards his head.

With a crack, his skull shattered!

At that moment, Chen Nan was completely in a state of slaying gods for those who stood in his way and slaying Buddhas for those who stood in his path!
