Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 662: CLASH
Alex and Mingyue were lazing around, sitting on top of an abandoned skyscraper, when the mountain in front of them suddenly exploded into pieces.
Crystal and black dirt sprayed into the sky like shrapnel.
The shockwave rolled across the ruined city, shaking broken windows and sending dust off the rooftops.
A huge beast crawled out from the hole.
It looked like a centipede, its body plated with black crystal. Countless insects spilled from behind it.
Even from this distance, Alex and Mingyue could see a familiar figure in front of it.
Governor Rannor body was half-formed, half-liquid, sliding across the ground as he fought while retreating.
Behind him, the Soul Insect Queen's upper body rose like a human silhouette riding the centipede, her eyes burning with rage.
"What's the governor doing?" Mingyue asked, confused by how things had progressed.
Based on what they knew, he should be waiting for the representative.
With the deal between him and the Soul Insect Queen, they should be preparing to activate the formation.
"Maybe some conflict with the Soul Insect Queen," Alex said.
"Should we intervene?"
"Let's watch for now," Alex replied. "If we jump in too early, we might end up helping the wrong side."
Mingyue narrowed her eyes.
"If Rannor wins won't the plan change?"
"Who knows... what matter is the soul insect as sacrifice, she pobably have dozen princess with billion insect army split all across the system, she won't die that easily."
Mingyue didn't like waiting like this, but she stayed quiet.
In front of them, the fight continued.
***
Rannor shot across the cracked ground as a wave of insects chased him.
His slime body split into thin strands, slipping between broken rock, then pulled back together when he reached open ground.
Behind him, the Soul Insect Queen roared.
Her centipede legs stabbed forward, tearing through stone like spears.
BAM! BAM!
Each strike opened a crater, and more insects poured out of the holes.
Rannor's doesn't talk, He raised one hand, and his slime thickened into a long blade.
"Black Blade!"
He slashed backward.
SWOSSH!!!
The blade cut through the front line of insects and split a centipede leg at the joint.
Black fluid sprayed out, and the Queen's body jerked in anger.
"Courting death!" she screamed.
Her voice carried soul pressure, crashing into Rannor's back like a hammer.
Rannor's slime body trembled, his form almost collapsing, but he forced his qi to churn and kept moving.
He angled his retreat, pulling her away from the hole she came from.
Bit by bit bringing her to the formation so he could active it.
The Soul Insect Queen realized it too.
She screeched, and the swarm spread outward, cutting off paths, forcing Rannor into narrower streets between collapsed buildings.
Rannor's mouth curled.
"Trying to trap me?"
His body flattened and poured into the street like a wave.
"Slime Art: Flowing Mud!"
The wave slammed into the buildings on both sides and climbed up the walls.
In the next moment, Rannor reformed above, dropping down from the second floor like he had been there all along.
His palm slammed into the ground.
BAM!!!
A shockwave exploded, turning the swarm below into pulp and blasting the remaining insects into the air.
Rannor didn't waste the opening.
He rushed straight at the Queen's lower body, aiming for another bloated segments near the end.
The Soul Insect Queen's eyes widened.
She twisted her centipede body and guarded the tail, but Rannor's slime arm stretched mid-strike, turning into a spear that stabbed into the side of a swollen segment.
"Sever the Nest!"
CRACK!!!
The segment burst again, black fluid spraying across the street. Half-formed insects spilled out and died before they could crawl.
The Soul Insect Queen's face twisted so hard it looked like it would split.
"You!"
Her hand lifted, and her soul pressure condensed this time she try another move.
"Soul Cage!"
The pressure slammed into Rannor's chest.
Rannor's slime body shuddered as if it was being pinned to an invisible wall.
His form warped, the human outline trembling under the force. But he still break free.
The Soul Insect Queen's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I already suspected this, but now this confirm it. Who's your new master Rannor!?"
Even slime have soul, only those created to be a machine to server don't have one.
Rannor forced a grin.
"If you want to know, active the formation, that's my master wish."
He let his body collapse into slime again, reducing the surface area under pressure.
He shot forward in a low stream and cut under the Queen's guard.
His body reformed behind her upper torso, and his hand turned into a whip blade.
SWOSSH!!!
The whip tore across her back, ripping armor and flesh. Black blood splattered onto the ruined street, sizzling where it landed.
The Soul Insect Queen screamed and slammed her centipede body down.
BOOM!!!
The ground exploded upward, forcing Rannor to split apart to avoid being crushed.
He scattered into dozens of slime fragments, but the Queen's swarm rushed in, trying to trap each piece.
Rannor's fragments moved like living blades, cutting through insects as they merged again.
His body reformed.
He raised his palm.
"Slime Art: Thousand Layer Skin!"
The armor folded over him, and he charged straight through the swarm, crushing insects into paste as he ran.
The Soul Insect Queen roared.
"You think you can use me! I reject to play with your plan!"
Rannor didn't answer.
He exploded his qi again and shot forward, leaving a trail of black slime behind him like a scar across the ruined city.
Behind him, the Insect swarm surged after him.
As for the Soul Insect Queen she decided to not make a move.
She turned back planning to return to her nest.
Rannor realized this. He turned back, dodging the insect swarm appearing in front of the Soul Insect Queen.
"You sure you're going to do this? If you don't cooperate, then I'll activate it by myself. Don't underestimate me, Soul Insect Queen."
"Then do it. I'll make sure to block the formation from activating.
Tell me, Rannor, why should I do what your master wishes for?"
