Chapter 340: 340: Earth King Worm, the Last Group Arrives
It exuded the aura of an experienced Middle Rank Demon General, comparable to the Sixth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, even Han Er’s aura was suppressed and unable to contend with it.
“Roar!”
The Earth King Worm let out a deafening roar, a foul stench rolling out of its mouth, sweeping across the area.
“How stinky!”
Jia Yulan, Mo Ying, and Yan Ruyu hurriedly gathered together, wielding a Spiritual Aura Shield to isolate the smell.
The six Great Demons also retreated, their eyes filled with fear.
Dong Qiang quickly retreated as well, wearing a mask, no one at the scene could recognize that he was actually an Inner Sect Disciple of the Liuyun Sect.
Han Er, wearing a cloak, had an unsightly look on his face beneath the mask.
Mo Ying glanced at Dong Qiang and Han Er, not expecting that there were two Element Gathering Realm Cultivators hidden underground. No wonder she had been feeling uneasy, and now she saw there was indeed a problem!
“Do you see that Cloak Man, have you noticed that his aura is very similar to that of Sister Ziling?”
Mo Ying asked through telepathy.
“Similar?” Jia Yulan was stunned.
“Could it be that the Cloak Man is a relative of Sister Ziling?” Yan Ruyu widened her almond eyes in shock.
Mo Ying rolled her eyes, “I’m talking about the Cultivation Technique!”
Jia Yulan, who had fought a great battle with Han San, had a focused look, “I understand, the other party is of the Divine Race, cultivating the “Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique”, no wonder his Divine Sense Power is so strong.”
“Right, that’s what I think as well,” Mo Ying nodded.
“A person of the Divine Race!” Jia Yulan’s eyes sharpened, feeling that this matter was getting more and more serious.
“Of all strategies, retreat is supreme. I’m out of here!”
From a distance, Dong Qiang suddenly let out a loud shout, slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and in an instant, his body was wrapped in a blood light, moving hundreds of meters in a blink, swiftly escaping.
“That speed!”
The crowd was shocked.
Even the Earth King Worm was dumbfounded.
Although it was also an experienced Middle Rank Demon General, it was shocked by Dong Qiang’s speed, feeling that even at its full speed it was not half as fast as the opponent.
Tens of miles away.
Dong Qiang fell to the ground, as exhausted as a dog, constantly sticking out his tongue and gasping for breath.
“Ancestor, your Blood Escape Technique is indeed powerful. Although I can’t beat those people, escaping poses no problem, haha!”
Dong Qiang, who had survived a catastrophe, quickly took Healing Pills and then continued to flee, fearing he would be caught up with.
Shuiyang City Ruins.
All forces were still in a state of confusion.
“Who exactly is that person, with a cultivation level of only the Second Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, yet he can run so fast?”
Han Er’s heart raced.
What made him even angrier was that the other party had reached the Shuiyang City Ruins earlier than himself and had also been hiding underground.
Had it not been for the disruption of the Earth King Worm, he wouldn’t have even known that such a cunning opponent was hiding nearby.
“Roar!”
At this moment, the Earth King Worm, having regained its senses, finally became furious.
It couldn’t believe that someone had escaped right before its eyes, and its huge body suddenly swung around, a Demon General failing to dodge in time and exploding, then being devoured by it.
“Run for your life!”
The remaining Demon Generals turned and ran.
But the Earth King Worm bent into an arch and then “boom,” it shot out, covering several miles in an instant, swallowing a one-horned deer-like Demon General and digesting it on the spot.
“Gurgle!”
The Gold-Skinned Buck-Toothed Pig frantically dug through the earth, turning into a golden lightning-like shadow amidst a cloud of dust, the second one to escape the Shuiyang City Ruins.
“Let’s go too!”
Mo Ying flew on her sword, taking Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan up into the sky, and just then, the Earth King Worm targeted them!
Whoosh!
Its body bent into an arch again, propelled by a powerful force, and it bit at the three disciples.
“Well done!”
Seeing this scene, Han Er felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He loved watching the scene of his enemies being devoured by Demonic Beasts.
“Get lost!”
Mo Ying quickly turned around, drew the middle-grade Spirit Sword from her back, and at the same time, invoked the “Water Radiance Technique”. The powers of water and fire around her instantly fused, amplifying the spell she was about to cast.
“Primordial Unity Qi!”
Mo Ying unleashed this move without hesitation.
Even though it was only at the Minor Achievement stage, as five types of Spiritual Energy merged, a gray breath burst forth from the tip of her sword, its speed drastically increased under the enhancement of Swift Sword Intent.
The entire process seemed slow but was completed in the blink of an eye.
Rip!
The Earth King Worm had no time to dodge and was cleaved across the mouth by the gray Sword Qi, its flesh and dozens of teeth shattered; its form also bent, brushing past Mo Ying and the others.
Boom!
The Earth King Worm crashed into a mountain, causing the ground to tremble violently, and a large number of boulders fell, burying it.
“Is it dead?” Jia Yulan marveled at Mo Ying’s terrifying strength, then asked in a deep voice.
“I’m no match for a seasoned Demon General like that.” Mo Ying shook her head repeatedly, continuing to escape with Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu.
In the Cultivation Tower Combat Zone, she indeed had slain middle-rank Crystal Spirits, but they were merely at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
The Earth King Worm, however, was comparable to a six-layer powerhouse of the Element Gathering Realm, almost a terrifying entity of the seven-layer level.
Even with Mo Ying’s full-force strike, she could only injure the opponent.
“If only my ‘Primordial Unity Qi’ had reached Perfection, I would have been able to cleave the Earth King Worm in twain,” Mo Ying whispered to herself.
But if she really brought ‘Primordial Unity Qi’ to Perfection, the speed of merging the five types of Spiritual Energy would slow down, losing the ability to cast instantly.
Even then, she would be no match for the Earth King Worm.
“How is this woman so strong?”
From afar in the high sky, Han Er witnessed Mo Ying’s strength and grew wary, feeling that even if he took action himself, he might not be able to annihilate her.
Whoosh!
He also fled, running while keeping a diary.
“Today, the weather is clear, but my mood is overcast with continuous rain, for I have been scared away by an Earth King Worm!”
“What’s more infuriating is that the female disciples from the Misty Sect are almost catching up with me, which is really depressing!”
“I need to go to Goulan and find a few Oirans to calm my nerves!”
After finishing the diary, Han Er’s speed surged and he disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
The six armies of demonic beasts were also fleeing.
Crack!
The Earth King Worm broke through the ruins that were pressing down on it and roared as it charged at Mo Ying’s trio, trying to devour them to relieve its hatred.
“Wretched beast, cease your arrogance!”
A dignified female voice came from afar, carrying with it the momentum of the Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm. Amplified by the fully mastered “Water Radiance Technique”, it gave the impression of not being weaker than the Six-Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
“Heavenly Moon Strike!”
Gong Qingqiu arrived with Lan Die.
With a flick of her finger, she cast this fully mastered Third Grade Spell. A radiant full moon appeared in the sky, and numerous meteorites thunderously struck the ground.
Some of them hit the Earth King Worm, forcing it to retreat violently.
Most meteorites covered and struck the surrounding area, killing many of the demonic beast armies that had not yet fled.
“It’s Elder Gong.”
“Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm? Has she recovered her former peak cultivation level?”
“That’s wonderful!”
Mo Ying and the two women sighed in relief.
With Gong Qingqiu present, they no longer had to fear the Earth King Worm and could even organize a counter-attack.
“Roar!”
The Earth King Worm glared at Gong Qingqiu with blood flowing from its mouth, looking extremely ferocious. Its form radiated intense blood energy as it instantly lunged for another attack.
“Mystique Catalogue!”
Gong Qingqiu’s hands formed seals, and a landscape painting appeared behind her. Numerous vines extended from it, entangling the incoming Earth King Worm and pulling most of its body into the world within the painting.
“Primordial Unity Qi!”
Gong Qingqiu took the opportunity to form seals with her hands. Five differently colored breaths appeared around her, quickly merging into a gray airstream.
Rip!
As the Mystique Catalogue shattered, the Earth King Worm broke free, but at that moment, a gray sword light containing a terrifying aura fell from the sky, slicing it vertically into two halves.
The Earth King Worm, dead!
