Chapter 147: Chapter 92: This Sweep of Mine Might Land on Your Graves!

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

After the trees burned away, the path seemed to have shortened considerably.

Zhao Ci weaved and wound his way through the warped space, taking the shortest path toward the puppet legion of the One-Day Flower-Blooming Gu.

He stopped at a distance of about a hundred feet.

His opponents didn’t dare to make a rash move. After all, Zhao Ci’s previous performance had been truly terrifying.

It was Zhao Ci who spoke first. "Steward! Come out and talk!"

Silence from the other side.

Zhao Ci grew impatient. "One-Day Flower-Blooming Gu. A Sub-Insect, right? Get the hell out here and talk!"

"Hm?"

There was a hint of surprise from the other side.

Only then did a person step forward. "Tenth Prince, what sharp eyes you have, to have recognized me. However, your address for me is a little off, because... I’m about to become the new Mother Gu."

Zhao Ci sneered. He made no move to strike the leader to defeat the group. These were all puppets of the One-Day Flower-Blooming Gu, so there was no "leader" to speak of—the real Sub-Insect was holed up somewhere else entirely.

He casually swung the longspear in his hand. "Who put you up to this? Tell me, so I can have a quick death!"

The Sub-Insect smiled faintly. "No need to rush! The Tenth Prince will die by having his brain devoured by ten thousand insects. The process is a long one. I’ll have plenty of time to tell you all about it then!"

"Hah!"

Zhao Ci raised an eyebrow. "I was just being modest, and you actually took me seriously? You really think you can kill me by controlling a bunch of useless gluttons?"

The Sub-Insect just smiled without a word. With a single thought, the remaining fifty-plus people charged forward ferociously.

It was so excited it was practically trembling.

It could sense that the Mother Gu was already dead. Next, Huangfu Song would surely choose one of the current generation of Sub-Insects to be cultivated into a new Mother Gu.

’And if I can just devour Zhao Ci’s memories and achieve such great merit, I’ll be the undisputed choice for the new Mother Gu.’

’I admit, Zhao Ci’s Flesh Soul is strong.’

’But I’ve also seen that he only knows basic spear techniques. And no matter how solid his fundamentals are, he can’t possibly unleash the true essence of the Xiang Family Spear Technique—its famed ability to weave through a battle array at will.’

’Faced with this encirclement, his only path is death!’

The space was warped.

But it had long since taken control of these fifty-plus people and used them to map out every inch of this area.

This time, Zhao Ci’s death was certain!

「In the blink of an eye.」

The battle array of over fifty people had already swallowed Zhao Ci whole.

It was as if it could already see Zhao Ci’s end.

Basic spear techniques could never stand against the combined assault of more than fifty well-coordinated experts.

With just this one charge, there was absolutely no way Zhao Ci could survive.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

Three consecutive bolts of lightning magic crashed down.

It knew that the woman from the Kan Family had made her move.

But it wasn’t the least bit panicked, for it knew that three bolts of lightning couldn’t change a thing.

But in the very next moment, something happened that horrified it.

An immense surge of True Qi erupted. From within the crowd, countless spear shadows burst forth, stirring up the entire formation like a violent gale.

Screams rose and fell, one after another.

In the distance, Kan Luotang’s eyes went wide. She had already fallen into despair, never expecting such a sudden turn of events.

’Tyrant’s Tomb Sweeping!’

’One of the Jing Chu Xiang Clan’s Battle Array Divine Techniques. I heard it was originally called Autumn Wind Sweeps Leaves.’

’But the Xiang Family felt that wasn’t domineering enough. They believed that with one sweep, no one would be left alive—it was as if they were sweeping their enemies’ tombs for them a year in advance.’

’That’s why the move’s name was changed to Tyrant’s Tomb Sweeping.’

’This technique requires immense True Qi, vast Qi Power, and incredibly tough bones and sinews—none can be lacking.’

’Most who can use it are at the Physical Body Realm or above, and their mastery of the Xiang’s Spear Technique has already reached a profound level.’

’Even a prodigy like Xiang Tiange used it once before reaching the Physical Body Realm and was bedridden for half a year afterward.’

’Zhao Ci... how on earth did he do it?’

"Awesome!"

The pain made Zhao Ci’s very soul tremble, but he was still so thrilled he was practically smoking.

’Without the Body Suppressing Talisman, I would’ve probably suffered broken bones and torn tendons long ago.’

’But with the Body Suppressing Talisman, I can unleash any high-level technique I want.’

’And with the boost from the Rising Talisman, this paltry pain doesn’t affect me in the slightest.’

’If anything, killing those three people just now is wildly stimulating the Celestial Demon Pattern on my body.’

’It feels so good I’m practically smoking.’

"Brother Sub-Insect?"

"You still there, Brother Sub-Insect?"

"If you can’t kill me, I’ll dig three feet deep into the ground just to drag you out."

"And when that time comes, you’re going to suffer big time!"

"So!"

"Please, try harder!"

The Sub-Insect: "???"

Kan Luotang: "???"
