Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 464: Chapter 462: Encirclement and Assault

“Try to capture him alive,” the old diviner said calmly. “I have never seen such a wonderful method of concealment.

If it weren’t for the calculation of cause and effect, even if he stood right in front of me, I might not be able to find him.”

“This boy must have a big secret on him.”

“Since you say so, diviner, let’s cripple his cultivation, break his limbs, and just leave him with a breath,” the man in the black robe laughed.

’Truly, a diviner…’ Lou Yi concentrated his mind, a falcon continuously circling in his brain, using the Attribute Panel to detect the monsters approaching around him.

By collecting the basic information of these monsters, he would decide the direction of his breakthrough.

’I’ll just have to force a breakthrough… It’s this!’

Lou Yi shot forward like an arrow in one direction!

There, a large river of blood-colored insects floated in the air, buzzing with a ’buzz buzz buzz,’ red toxic smoke billowing, filled with an evil and terrifying aura!

[Name: ?Insect Demon?]

[Age: 921/?]

[Realm: High-tier Demon General]

[Talent: None]

[Demonic Art: Swarming Insects]

[Attribute: Yin Element]

Seeing Lou Yi rushing towards him, the Insect Demon was obviously taken as a soft target, and became furious.

“Damn it, I’ll eat your flesh and gnaw your bones!”

The insect river instantly transformed into a giant human face, forming an angry expression.

Upon closer inspection, each insect was a red and black independent entity.

Dozens of legs extended from each side of their bodies, each ending with a rhomboid sharp point, glimmering with a ghostly light.

They had no eyes, only a mouthpart occupying half of their head—eight curved, ebony, sharp blade heads.

The eight blade heads clashed with a ’ka ka’ sound, colliding to create blinding sparks, sending chills down the spine.

Lou Yi chose the Insect Demon after looking at the introduction of its demonic art.

Swarming Insects:… Each insect’s attack can pose a certain threat to Mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts…

The ability to threaten Mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts, while his own defense was close to a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, gave him a good chance to break through.

Of course, this did not mean the Insect Demon’s strength was weak.

Because the number of insects was extremely large, the so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change, it could exhaust opponents of the same level to death.

But with Lou Yi’s speed and defense advantages, the Insect Demon was the most likely direction for a breakthrough.

Lou Yi slightly controlled his speed, did not reach his limit, but rather displayed three times the speed of sound.

Upon nearing the Insect Demon.

“Petrification.”

“Glaze Armor.”

“Body into Sword!”

Without any intention to hide his trump cards, it was a moment requiring every second to count; he unhesitatingly used his strongest moves.

An astonishing rainbow light instantly tore through the sky, with dazzling momentum, crashing fiercely towards the ocean of insects!

’Boom!’

The insect sea was immediately smashed into a sharp pit, almost leaving only a shallow layer, which Lou Yi was about to forcibly break through in an instant.

“Bite him to death for me!” the Insect Demon roared.

A large number of black and red insects, each extended sharp mouthparts and dense, numerous legs towards the rainbow light.

’Ding ding ding ding!’

The sharp mouthparts and legs had fierce friction with the surface of Lou Yi’s Armor, enveloping him in rich white sparks, practically turning him into a red and white fireman.

Inside the red and white flames, the Armor bore one clear mark after another.

And it was continually penetrating, quickly breaking through to the underlying skin.

The insects became increasingly frantic, attempting to drill into Lou Yi’s body, as if they could see him being dismembered, devoured, and gnawed to a tragic end.

’Ding ding ding ding!’

Unbeknownst to them, Lou Yi’s skin beneath the Armor was even harder by a few degrees.

Forcing the insects’ heavily worn teeth and legs to endure a second round of fierce collision.

’Ka ka ka ka!’

Countless insect teeth and legs fractured, the powerful impact tugged at their bodies, causing them to burst one by one, showering down like red raindrops from the sky!

“Armor-Piercing!”

Seeing his speed halved, Lou Yi utilized his advanced skill.

An invisible sharp wave spread towards the insects at the final obstacle.

Causing them to stagger like they were drunk, dispersing, unable to form an effective encirclement any longer.

’Boom!’

The rainbow light finally broke through the insect sea, rushing into the distance, about to completely escape the dangerous encirclement.

’Phew!’

Just at this moment, a gigantic hand grasped fiercely at Lou Yi!

The size of the hand was comparable to a small mountain, silver-gray all over, covered with complex patterns.

Under the palm wind, white clouds billowed, creating a mighty momentum.

It was the Hill Giant striking in hatred!

At this moment, the acceleration effect of the Body into Sword had been exhausted, and Lou Yi returned to normal running speed.

The Hill Giant had been waiting nearby, launching a long-planned attack.

Lou Yi wanted to flee, seemingly having to use the Body into Sword martial art once more.

But only two opportunities remained for the martial art, each precious beyond measure.

Lou Yi’s face was as still as water, his figure suddenly accelerated, reaching 3.5 times, slightly exceeding the range of the giant palm’s direct attack but not too far away.

The giant palm could only change the direction of its attack to hit him.

“Die!”

The Hill Giant had engaged with Lou Yi several times before.

Unexpectedly, in just over ten days, the opponent’s speed had increased by twenty percent.

Under the misjudgment, the giant hand could only turn a strike into a swipe, once again hitting Lou Yi’s body!

But the direction was already opposite to the original.

’Bang!’

Borrowing the strength from this, Lou Yi accelerated like a cannonball, shooting towards the distance.

“Not good!”

Only then did the Hill Giant realize Lou Yi’s intention.

The opponent had originally intended to escape the encirclement, and yet foolishly received an assist.

“You damn thief! I’ll tear you apart!”

It roared angrily at the sky, shards of rock cascading down like a mudslide.

Lou Yi seemed really about to break through the siege this time.

Among the demon clans, nearly the strongest in breath, the Three-headed Lion Demon, had reached its speed limit, like a fiery red lightning, pushing into the zone two to three hundred feet away from Lou Yi.

Its two large and one small heads opened their bloodthirsty mouths.

One spewed forth a ghastly white flame, almost making space sway with its scorching heat.

Another unleashed a mass of black Yin Wind, occasionally revealing skulls and ghostly hands, filled with ultimate evil and malice.

One sprayed yellowish sand, extremely hard, each grain emitting a metallic texture; any ordinary person entering would be riddled with wounds.

With the flames, Yin Wind, and sand, three large-scale vicious attacks instantly hit where Lou Yi stood, completely engulfing his body!

“This damn Red Hero is finally going to die!” yelled the Hill Giant and Water Demon behind, each laughing wildly.

And from afar, several figures of Human Race cultivators appeared, drawn by the commotion, all aghast upon seeing the situation.

“Not good, Red Hero is in danger!”

“We must save him!”

“Afraid it’s too late…”

In the scene, the Three-headed Lion Demon’s eyes flickered with extreme coldness.

“Such weak humans, you’ve been fighting them this long without victory, letting those wolves watch and laugh.”

Other demon generals listened, each showing discontent, yet knowing the truth in the Lion Demon’s words.

“Tomorrow we will break Huai City, slaughter the town for three days, and let the Human Race know our power!” the Three-headed Lion Demon issued a chilling command.

But then, it suddenly turned its head, eyes filled with disbelief.

Other demon generals also turned in the same direction.

The flames there parted from two sides, Yin Wind seemed to halt, and in the sand, a dazzling red figure sped forward, hardly affected!

’Whoosh!’

The red light dashed straight out of the Three-headed Lion Demon’s attack range, without a scratch, continuing its rush far away.

At this moment, another extreme green light beam, filled with a sense of destruction, hit the red figure’s chest, leaving a visible blood hole!

“Good!”

Before the demon clan could cheer, they saw the blood hole on the red figure rapidly recover at a visible pace.

“Body Transformation!”

The red light accelerated again, becoming a rainbow light, completely fleeing the Demon Clan’s encirclement.

All the Demon Clan were furious.

But the carefully planned encirclement had failed, how could they catch this slippery Red Hero again?

“Can it be predicted?”

The black-robed man asked the fortune teller beside him.

The fortune teller’s face looked unpleasant: “This child carries something that affects causality, hard to predict as the distance grows, but roughly the direction…”

“Not good! The sense grows weaker.” The fortune teller constantly moved his fingers, “This child has become cautious, I must prepare more thoroughly!”
