The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2643 - 2618: Yellow Smoke Bees and Corpse-eating Ants!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
A cold smile curled on the Lion King's lips as he said, "What? Does that mean if Gujin Tower of your Ancient Clan lacks something, no one else is allowed to have it either?"
Gutian Xuan let out a faint chuckle, replying calmly, "That's correct. Gujin Tower previously lacked the 'War God Formula', but I'm confident it won't be long until it appears there!"
With those words, Gutian Xuan lunged straight at the Lion King.
At the same moment, Zhang Xifeng shifted his focus to the Wolf King, who still hadn't acted!
"Looks like I'm your opponent," Zhang Xifeng remarked with a grin.
Face devoid of emotion, the Wolf King tilted his head up toward Zhang Xifeng. A quick wrist flick brought forth a razor-sharp sword, radiating intense and savage sword intent.
"A King-level Spiritual Artifact..." Shock flickered across Zhang Xifeng's features upon beholding the treasure sword gripped by the Wolf King, truly a King-level Spiritual Artifact!
Silent as ever, the Wolf King stepped ahead, unleashing a devastating sword slash that ripped across the skies at Zhang Xifeng.
Zhang Xifeng urgently surged his energy to counter!
"Die!"
The Wolf King let out a icy snort, his sword qi ruthless and lethal.
That one slash alone twisted Zhang Xifeng's face in alarm; he pulled back hastily, crying out, "Netherworld Sword Skill! Who are you... how do you know the Netherworld Sword Skill!"
Tightly holding the keen sword, the Wolf King stared coldly at Zhang Xifeng, demonic flames surging wildly over his form, the sword aura shadowy like a edge forged in the Nine Nether!
The Wolf King ignored Zhang Xifeng's queries, pressing forward with unending barrages from the sharp sword against him.
Beneath the overwhelming force of the Netherworld Sword Skill, Zhang Xifeng fell back repeatedly, powerless to resist!
Still, Zhang Xifeng wasn't some average cultivator; though not hailing from one of East Continent Academy's four ancient families, he had once been a supreme Tianjiao across the East Continent.
Having identified the Netherworld Sword Skill, he swiftly adapted his stance, starting to fend off the Wolf King's brutal sword assaults!
The 'Netherworld Sword Skill'—this sword art had once ignited massive turmoil across the East Continent, since a sword cultivator employing it had butchered innumerable warriors on the God-Demon Sea.
That clash flooded the God-Demon Sea with corpses of fighters, turning its waters blood-red, and it took fully three years before clarity returned.
Thus, the 'Netherworld Sword Skill' seared itself permanently into the recollections of East Continent Academy's senior warriors!
Others stood no chance against the ferocious duel between Great Perfection of the Wending Realm powerhouses.
Not to mention Death Reversal Realm cultivators—even typical Cauldron Questioning Realm warriors venturing close would get harmed by their colossal strength.
The monumental clash thundered onward, its reach expansive.
Three hours passed.
Inside the city, over half of the Demon Sect's Tiangang thirty-six stars had met their end.
Snake King and Tiger King lay gravely wounded.
Beyond the city, Lion King and Wolf King had pierced four layers of light barriers earlier, yet Gutian Xuan and Zhang Xifeng barred their way, leaving no opening to shatter the formation!
From the ridges of the mountain range away from the fray, Ancestor Ding spoke to the white-haired woman, "Sect Leader, the chaos in Heavenly Destiny Pass grows dire—more than half the Tiangang thirty-six stars have already fallen!"
"East Continent Academy possesses such formidable reserves; doubtless over a dozen Great Perfection of the Wending Realm warriors lurk there!"
Even now, Ancestor Ding regretted choosing to breach from the Jianghai Region's southern front.
The white-haired woman gave a light laugh, "Merely a dozen? Nothing more?"
At Ancestor Ding's report, the white-haired woman sneered scornfully.
Astonishment flooded Ancestor Ding's visage; such a force of over a dozen Great Perfection of the Wending Realm elites could overrun the entire East Continent, yet it paled to insignificance before the white-haired woman!
Ancestor Ding cautioned, "Sect Leader, should this persist, we won't merely fail to crack Heavenly Destiny Pass's grand array—the Tiger King, Snake King, and Demon Sect's Tiangang thirty-six stars will all fall inside it!"
Light flared in the white-haired woman's gaze as she grinned, "You're right. Since they remain valuable to me for now, very well—I'll hold off no longer!"
"Leave it to me!"
A soft chuckle escaped the white-haired woman.
Ancestor Ding froze in shock, fervor igniting in his eyes as he beheld the white-haired woman.
Ever since Ancestor Ding started trailing this white-haired woman, her bizarre and unfathomable techniques had left him in endless shock!
Right now, the white-haired woman reached out and stroked the head of the white snake at her side.
The white snake parted its jaws and ejected a storage bag, which dropped straight into the white-haired woman’s grasp.
Ancestor Ding glanced at this storage bag a couple of times; to be precise, it wasn’t an ordinary storage bag, but a beast-controlling bag.
This beast-controlling bag was designed specifically for transporting spirit beasts.
With the beast-controlling bag in hand, a burst of spiritual light flashed from the white-haired woman, releasing the seal on it.
A tiny slit appeared as the beast-controlling bag parted, and palm-sized ants began pouring out from inside.
These ants shimmered with a bronze hue, radiating vivid brilliance and brimming with vitality.
Once they emerged from the beast-controlling bag, they hit the ground and swiftly tunneled into the soil, vanishing from view.
The white-haired woman casually tossed the beast-controlling bag onto the earth, unleashing a massive horde of ants that swarmed toward the battlefield!
Witnessing this endless stream of ants emerging, even Ancestor Ding felt a chill crawl up his scalp!
At the same time, the white-haired woman let out a soft chuckle, "The Yellow Smoke Bees remain too scarce to truly sway the battlefield, so let’s multiply their ranks a little!"
With those words, the white snake expelled yet another beast-controlling bag.
The white-haired woman unsealed the bag, and hordes of yellow wasps burst forth, charging straight into the fray!
Now, the wasp numbers swelled to unimaginable heights, as though a vast yellow smog had blanketed the entire Jianghai Region!
Ancestor Ding inquired curiously, "Sect Leader, can these wasps and ants take down those powerhouses in the Wending Realm?"
The white-haired woman burst into laughter, "Impossible! Though the Yellow Smoke Bees and Corpse-eating Ants lack individual might, their sheer numbers overwhelm. They can effortlessly overwhelm Yin Saint Realm fighters and Death Reversal Realm experts!"
"But expecting them to slay Great Perfection Wending Realm warriors? That’s nothing but a pipe dream!"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Ding spoke gravely, "Then..."
The white-haired woman laughed again, "Relax, I’ve got more tricks up my sleeve!"
"The Yellow Smoke Bees will slaughter every single warrior across this battlefield!"
"The Corpse-eating Ants will consume all traces on this battlefield, from corpses to the magic circle walls of Heavenly Destiny Pass!"
Ancestor Ding gave a slight nod.
The white-haired woman let out a soft sigh, a flicker of cruelty gleaming in her gaze, "That past battle was far too savage, leaving my vast army of poison insects dwindled to just these Yellow Smoke Bees and Corpse-eating Ants!"
"Had my other poison insects survived, forget this puny Heavenly Destiny Pass!"
"The whole Jianghai Region would fall under my control!"
Her words rang out cold and merciless.
Ahead on the battlefield, with Yellow Smoke Bees blotting out the sky and Corpse-eating Ants surging from the depths of the earth, drastic transformations seized the scene!
"What in the world are these wasps?" a voice cried out as a yellow wasp dive-bombed forward.
Its sting delivered venom in an instant.
The warrior unleashed a horrifying shriek, and moments later, hundreds more wasps pumped poison into him, melting him into a puddle of pus before anyone could blink!
In other spots, bronze ants erupted from the dirt one after another, scaling the warriors via their footsteps; stacks of hundreds gnawed away flesh and blood in a flash!
"Aaaahhh..."
"Help!"
"No, no..."
"My hand, the flesh on my hand is gone..."
"My legs got devoured by those ants, Senior Brother save me, Senior Brother save me, I don’t want to die..."
"Help, I don’t want to die..."
"Run fast..."
"Save me..."
Screams, wails, and desperate pleas filled the battlefield nonstop, as nearly every warrior collapsed in total chaos within moments.
All formations shattered completely at that instant.
The East Continent Academy warriors were either dissolved into pus by the wasps’ venom or stripped of flesh by the Corpse-eating Ants...
