Chapter 721 720: Who Says a Mosquito Can't Use a Sword—Slaying the Girl in the Green Dress

The girl in the green skirt was completely stunned by the kick.

She leaned against a broken wall.

She clutched her chest, coughing nonstop.

Her mind was a complete blank.

'No,'

'What was that just now?'

'A mosquito?'

'Are mosquitoes supposed to be this big?'

'Since when can a mosquito send a Void Refining Sixth Layer expert flying with a single kick?!'

'This is too ridiculous!'

It wasn't until she heard the conversation between Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi.

That the green-skirted girl suddenly snapped back to her senses.

'I remember now!'

'When they first captured Gu Yuexi on Blue Star...'

'...there was indeed an inconspicuous black mosquito following her around.'

'That mosquito... seemed to be Gu Yuexi's Beast Pet.'

'Later, Gu Yuexi voluntarily terminated the Beast Taming Contract with the mosquito.'

'It seemed... it was to protect the mosquito?'

'Anyway, none of them could understand it at the time.'

'As the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi...'

'...her future was limitless.'

'Why would she, for the sake of an utterly ordinary mosquito...'

'...willingly terminate her Beast Taming Contract?'

'Doing that meant wasting a precious contract slot for nothing!'

Later.

They were single-mindedly focused on forcing Gu Yuexi to reveal Immortal Venerable Shi Xi's legacy.

All their attention was on Gu Yuexi.

'Who would even remember a mosquito?!'

'Was that mosquito at the Body Refining Ninth Layer, or the Spirit Awakening Realm?'

'In any case, that mosquito was as weak as a... well, a mosquito.'

'It could be crushed with a single pinch.'

'Who would have cared?!'

'But...'

'Only a year has passed!'

'Without a Master to provide resources...'

'...he actually advanced directly to the Divinity Transformation Realm!!!'

'He even crossed the endless starry sky to reach the Spirit Realm!'

'And found the Celestial Derivation Sect!!!'

'And not only that...'

'With just one kick...'

'...he sent her, a Divine Realm Cultivator at the Void Refining Sixth Layer, flying!'

'He even injured her internal organs!'

'This is just insane!!!'

'Even the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi...'

'...doesn't have a Cultivation Speed this fast!'

"You're... that mosquito from the Blue Star Witch Race?"

The green-skirted girl wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She asked in disbelief.

And the answer she received...

...was another kick!

Chu Sheng couldn't be bothered to waste words on the green-skirted girl.

With someone who wanted to kill Gu Yuexi...

...there was nothing to say.

He'd just kill her and be done with it!

His figure flashed.

He instantly appeared before the green-skirted girl.

He extended a hardened foreleg.

And once again kicked viciously at the green-skirted girl's head.

This time, the green-skirted girl was prepared.

She didn't dare to be the least bit careless.

She pushed the Divine Power within her body to its absolute limit.

She activated the Ancient Bronze Shield Magical Treasure in front of her to its maximum potential.

The surface of the ancient shield instantly pulsed with a thick, earthy-yellow light.

"CLANG!!!"

A piercing screech of metal on metal rang out.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The Ancient Bronze Shield trembled violently.

A faint crack instantly appeared on the shield's surface.

Seeing this crack appear,

the green-skirted girl's eyes widened in disbelief.

Her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

'This is a Divine Level Lower-Grade Magical Treasure!'

'Even an expert at the same Void Refinement Realm...'

'...wouldn't be able to leave the slightest mark on it!'

'Let alone a mosquito at the Divinity Transformation Realm!'

'What in the world is this mosquito's body made of?'

'Is it even harder than a Divine Artifact?'

The green-skirted girl completely discarded any trace of contempt.

Her face took on an incredibly grave expression.

She no longer dared to engage Chu Sheng in close-quarters combat.

She retreated backward rapidly.

At the same time, her hands flew through a series of Sealing Techniques.

She whispered softly.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Blooming!"

Before her voice had even faded,

vividly beautiful red flowers...

...materialized out of thin air.

These flowers were over a meter in diameter.

Their petals were as sharp as blades.

They emanated a faint, deadly poison.

In the blink of an eye,

they had bloomed across the entire sky.

They completely sealed off all of Chu Sheng's routes for attack or retreat.

The dense mass of flowers,

like a surging tide,

rushed toward Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng merely gave them a passing glance.

Not a single ripple of emotion showed in his eyes.

With a single thought,

he summoned the [Silent Extinction Flame Feather].

The [Silent Extinction Flame Feather], now at Full Level,

could simultaneously release over ten thousand sharp, black Flaming Feather Blades.

Each Feather Blade contained the terrifying Power of Annihilation.

"Go!"

Chu Sheng barked.

The tens of thousands of Flaming Feather Blades,

like a storm of pear blossom needles,

shot toward the flowers in the sky all at once.

A dense barrage of "BANG! BANG! BANG!" instantly echoed across the sky!

Green poison and red petals

flew everywhere, filling the air.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Blooming technique, the green-skirted girl's pride and joy,

was completely shattered by Chu Sheng in an instant.

Not a single whole flower remained.

Immediately after,

a light flashed around Chu Sheng's body.

[Silent Annihilation Battle Armor!]

[Tenth Gear!]

[Activate!]

The black Silent Annihilation Battle Armor,

perfectly fit Chu Sheng's mosquito body.

It radiated a cold and powerful aura.

Then,

he extended his foreleg,

making the gesture of gripping a sword.

"Sword, come!"

Seeing this strange posture,

the green-skirted girl was completely baffled, having no idea what trick Chu Sheng was up to.

Only Gu Yuexi instantly understood Chu Sheng's meaning.

Without the slightest hesitation, she used her last ounce of strength.

She forcefully threw the Godslaying Ruins Sword in her hand toward Chu Sheng.

The golden longsword transformed into a streak of light.

And landed precisely in Chu Sheng's grasp.

"A mosquito... can use a sword?!?!"

The green-skirted girl's eyes bulged.

Watching as Chu Sheng firmly gripped the Godslaying Ruins Sword.

Her entire worldview was overturned.

She didn't dare to show the slightest bit of contempt.

She quickly summoned every single Magical Treasure she could use.

She brought them all out in one go.

Shields, Armor, Array plates...

It didn't matter if they were for Attack,

or for support.

Now, they were all being used for Defense!

In front of her,

a thick mountain of Magical Treasures instantly piled up!

It had to be said,

the green-skirted girl was truly being cautious.

Facing an opponent a whole Grand Realm weaker than herself,

she wasn't careless in the slightest.

She had played every trump card she had.

At this moment,

Chu Sheng was already gripping the hilt of the Godslaying Ruins Sword.

He made the same motion Gu Yuexi had made when she drew the sword earlier.

Inch by inch, he pulled the longsword from its Sword Scabbard.

SLAY!

DIVINITY!

RETURN!

RUIN!

SWORD!

The five ancient, golden words,

under the full force of Chu Sheng's power,

bloomed with a dazzling golden light on the body of the sword.

Immediately after,

a stream of Sword Qi, a hundred times more powerful than the one Gu Yuexi had just unleashed,

shot straight into the heavens!

The clouds in the sky were completely torn apart by this Sword Qi.

"SHWIIING~"

The Sword Qi carried a world-destroying might.

With unparalleled power,

it rushed toward the green-skirted girl.

All the Defense Treasures in front of the green-skirted girl,

in the face of this Sword Qi,

were like they were made of paper-mâché.

They disintegrated in an instant.

Shields shattered, Armor melted, Array plates exploded into dust...

A pile of powerful Magical Treasures...

...was now no different from a heap of scrap metal.

They didn't even last for a single second.

"No!!!"

The green-skirted girl only had time to let out a desperate cry.

Before she was sliced cleanly in half by the sharp Sword Qi.

Following in the footsteps of her senior sister.

After killing the green-skirted girl,

Chu Sheng returned the Godslaying Ruins Sword to Gu Yuexi.

Then, he flew over to the green-skirted girl's corpse.

He raised his sharp proboscis.

And plunged it viciously into her head.

[God-devouring Needle!]

[Ding! Absorbed 5 points of Divine Blood. Estimated digestion time: 10 seconds. Estimated Divine Essence gain: 0.5 points.]

[Ding! Absorbed 5 points of Divine Soul.]

[Ding! A large amount of the Law of Life has been detected. Auto-comprehending...]

[Ding! Law of Life Comprehension +700,000.]

[Ding! The Law of Life has evolved into the Life Breathing Emperor Domain!]

Suddenly dropping from units of "hundreds of millions" down to "single digits,"

Chu Sheng took a moment to adjust.

And then he got used to it.

After absorbing the green-skirted girl's Origin,

Chu Sheng didn't linger for a moment.

He immediately flew to Gu Yuexi's side.

Ready to take her and quickly leave the Celestial Derivation Sect.
