Chapter 117 - 106: Seven-Star Death Injection

Chapter 117: Chapter 106: Seven-Star Death Injection

He had cultivated a total of six such insects, respectively possessing abilities like sonic detection, infrared detection, optical focusing, Life Magnet Field locking, and chemical scent locking.

Previously, he thought Chen Qi could fly and move at high speeds because he was wearing Exoskeleton Armor.

He had never expected to be so wrong. This guy, relying on his physical speed alone, had managed to escape the center of the explosion the very instant it occurred.

How incredible!

...

’Heh, this Trudeau is quite a talent. Especially his final killing move, [Life Withering]. Any normal player would be utterly destroyed by him.’

’Too bad he ran into me!’

Although Trudeau’s combos grew increasingly vicious, the battle unfolding before him truly failed to pique Chen Qi’s interest.

This wasn’t because he was arrogant. The truth was, just as he had said before, the outcome of the battle had already been decided long ago.

Everything Trudeau was doing now was merely a reenactment of the previous round.

The reason Chen Qi was playing along wasn’t out of boredom, but to ensure he could kill Trudeau for good.

Only that would be the true end.

...

’Damn it, that look again.’

’What the hell is this bastard playing at? What’s his ace in the hole?’

Chen Qi’s calm, scrutinizing gaze deeply wounded Trudeau’s pride. ’My moves are this incredible, and you’re not even a little bit shocked?’

’You bastard! How dare you underestimate me? Just die!’

For some reason, whenever he saw the calm, scrutinizing gaze of Red Heart Seven, Trudeau felt immensely insulted.

The feeling was so real, so vivid, it was as if he had been insulted countless times before. The anger in his heart swelled.

Consumed by rage, Trudeau finally cast aside the battle plan he had so carefully prepared.

All he wanted now was to kill Red Heart Seven, right here, right now. As for the cost—a pyrrhic victory where he’d lose 800 to kill 1000—he no longer cared.

"[Life Withering]!"

Blinded by rage, Trudeau unleashed his ultimate killing move.

In the next instant, every insect in the sky went into a frenzy, charging toward Chen Qi.

From a distance, it looked as if the very sky were collapsing, with Chen Qi at the center.

Millions of insects advanced from a kilometer away, slowly closing in on Chen Qi. He had nowhere to run.

The air and the ground were both swarming with a dense mass of insects.

...

’He’s using [Life Withering] this early?’

’Heh heh. You’ve lost your composure, Trudeau. You’re finished!’

Faced with such an overwhelming assault, Chen Qi showed not a shred of fear. Instead, a smile touched his lips.

The moment he was waiting for had finally arrived.

But Chen Qi had to admit, this killing move of Trudeau’s was truly devastating. He had every right to be proud of it.

Had he been facing anyone else, any normal player caught in this attack—even a Level 3—would have no hope of survival.

’Fine. Since the game is about to end, I might as well grant your wish.’

’Consider it my tribute to your move!’

With a wave of Chen Qi’s hand, a million one-millimeter iron beads began to spin at high speed. A terrifying Iron Storm spread out from him, continuously expanding outward.

Wherever the storm passed, countless insects were ground into a pulp.

This time, however, was different. Trudeau had gone all-in, and the number of elite units within the swarm was exceptionally high.

Swarms of Iron Beetles withstood the grinding of the iron beads, forcing their way forward several hundred meters.

If the Iron Storm’s rotational speed hadn’t kept increasing, turning every tiny iron bead into a high-speed saw-tooth, it truly might not have been able to grind down the Iron Beetles Trudeau had so meticulously cultivated.

By Chen Qi’s estimation, the shells of these Iron Beetles had a durability comparable to special-grade steel.

However, they were merely the lowest-ranked among Trudeau’s Eight Great Vajra.

The other seven types of insect swarms Trudeau had cultivated were what he truly relied upon.

Using these seven main swarms as a basis, Trudeau had developed thirteen different killing moves, some of which even Chen Qi found incredibly difficult to deal with.

But the crazed Trudeau couldn’t be bothered with any of that now. He only wanted to kill Red Heart Seven immediately.

[Life Withering]—as the name implied, this move not only meant death for the enemy, but also demanded a price from the user.

Previously, Trudeau would have been reluctant to use this move unless it was an absolute last resort.

But now, he had directly used his Eight Great Vajra as sacrificial offerings to fuel it.

’That should be enough!’

"Damn you, Red Heart Seven! Witness the art of death!"

"[Life Withering]!"

After the insect swarm had been reduced by a third, Trudeau finally activated Life Withering.

SWISH!

An eerie signal rippled through the swarm. In that exact same instant, every insect began to burn away its life force.

In a single instant, the remaining seven hundred thousand-plus insects turned into desiccated husks, which then disintegrated into dust in the raging wind.

The swarm had now completely vanished from the battlefield, leaving only the seven great Insect Kings.

They floated in the sky, like orbs of ball lightning the size of wagon wheels, glowing with an eerie blue light.

This was the result of all the insects sacrificing their life force to them. Their life force became impossibly vast, and their Life Magnet Fields swelled by a factor of ten thousand.

But this power was destined to be fleeting. Even as kings of the swarm, they could not contain such a colossal amount of life Energy.

In fact, if not for the intervention of Trudeau’s Superpower, these seven great Insect Kings would have burst apart the moment the Sacrifice began.

"Seven-Star Death Injection, Insect Emperor Rebirth!"

"Rotate!"

Under Trudeau’s control, the seven massive Life Magnet Fields connected with seven stars in the sky, forming the shape of a dipper.

And the handle of the dipper was pointing directly at Chen Qi.
