The skies turned dark as the palm crushed the sea of bugs to death.The ones who managed to escape started buzzing around in chaos. However, Luna and the others weren’t weaklings. They worked together, surrounded the remaining bugs, and killed them all.Whoosh—Right then, the wind blade appeared again, heading straight for Alex.This time, Alex grunted and stood still. He secretly summoned the Chaos Tree, surfacing its roots like chains from hell and trapping the blades.On the other hand, one thicker root went into the tunnel.The root drew out a vintage wooden box with a twist and a pull. On the box were the carvings of the moon, the sun, and a single-footed divine bird.This was a sheath, made to hold wind blades especially. It was a mighty treasure.Claudia almost died at the hands of it.“Arghh—”A furious cry came from the tunnel, and then a shadow zoomed out from there. It wore some weird black armor.It was a green-eyed man in his thirties.He glared at Alex, esp
The sanctuary was on the other side of the tunnel, like a hidden paradise.Unlike the dark night outside, sparkling light as bright as a full moon would appear as you entered the tunnel. Even a ray of light the size of a grain was enough to provide clear vision within a dark area for cultivators. Hence, this vast light source was as bright as a sunny day to them.“Careful, this sect is no easy opponent. I feel like something’s up!” Alex reminded.“I don’t care what moon they are; I’ll kill everyone who comes forward!” Claudia looked fierce. She’d been practicing Serenity, which made her look kind of similar to Madam Kill-it-all.The tunnel leading to the inner caves had obviously been widened, and marks were left from the demolishment.Shortly into their walk, they saw the barrier of the sanctuary. On it was an opening, but… it was blocked by a scab, as though an injury on human skin.Luna pointed to the scar-like mark and said, “Past here and onwards is the true sanctuary.”X
Luna, who’d just walked in, let out a cry of surprise.Alex was right behind her, and he quickly passed through.They then saw a massive group of living skeletons crowding against one another. Their eyes glistened with green light as they all looked towards Alex.It was as if they were taken aback as well, surprised at how humans could suddenly appear.“The Undying Clan?!” Alex’s heart jumped. This situation was all too familiar.In the next second, war erupted.As the skeletons came to their senses like sharks that smelt blood. They shrieked and pounced towards them. These skeletons were quite fierce. Most of them even had weapons in their hands too.Boom!Alex sent out an attack with his palm. The divine power was like an endless sea, toppling the opponents and clearing them out of Alex’s way.Luna quickly removed the White Bone Whip from her wrist. She then whipped the air and said, “Why do these skeletons look similar to the ones in Spiritual Valley Dungeon?”Holy energ
“Oh dear god! What is that?”Closest to the bug, Freya couldn’t help but scream. As though she had springs under her feet, she jumped away and landed… in Alex’s arms.Martiny rolled her eyes. “Hey, I’m right here, you know?”Freya immediately blushed. “Mom… Uhm, it’s safer here with Alex,” she sheepishly added.‘Look! This is how my daughter treats me!’Luna looked at her sister, who seemed indifferent. She even laughed about this. “Daddy’s going to be hurt this time.”Undoubtedly, their father would be heartbroken if his two daughters were taken.Alex didn’t know where to place his hands, but he could feel an approaching danger. It was coming from the massive red bug.Whoosh—The colossal bug opened its mouth wide and sent out a white wind blade. In reality, a thick silk thread spurted from its mouth and aimed at Freya. The thread was so fast that it seemed like a wind blade.Alex moved thirty meters away in one step, barely dodging the attack.The thread landed harshly o
“What? A dead end?” Claudia turned to look. Their road wasn’t blocked, but another truck-size bug was coming from there. Around it was countless smaller bugs.“Sh*t, we’re surrounded. What do we do?” Freya asked in a trembling voice.Luna pulled her sister down. “Don’t act dead. Come fight the bugs with us. You’re a descendant of Exorcist Dragons, and you’re scared of bugs? That’s bringing shame to our clan.”Alex said, “Attack them. You guys follow me!”Thump—The Requiem Clock appeared, and waves of holy energy rippled as the clock levitated over Alex. A golden barrier of divine energy then covered everyone.Alex’s left hand held the sheath while his right held a sword gourd. Hundreds of wind blades and light crossed one another, forming a tightly knitted blade web, rotating into the sea of bugs like a blender.“I’ll help!” Luna kept away her whip and took out the Sky-Devil Zither.Tring! Tring!The sound of the zither was deadly, and the sound waves were able to trigger an
Alex’s heart skipped a beat as he saw the two golden bugs.The others, too, knew how bad the situation had turned. The appearance of the two bugs was as if the queen of all bugs had arrived—all the other red bugs started crawling to the ground and shuddered in fear.“Motherf*cker! Why do we have to encounter such things!” Alex complained, his heartbeat quickened. He immediately said, “Principal Lewin, you drive the boat and bring them forward. Go search for my master and the others. I’ll handle things here.”Of course, Luna disagreed with him. “No. If we leave, we leave together. How can we just ditch you here? I can stay back and fight, you know?”“Alex, I’ll stay too,” Freya said.Alex grunted. “What’s the use of you two staying? You’ll only be a burden. Principal Lewin, go, now!”“Alex, don’t act tough. Can you really handle the situation?” Xerxes asked quietly.Alex smiled. “Have you forgotten how I killed the Immortal Emperor while we were in the Underworld? Why would I f
“The Great Icebound Spell…”Pshh!Alex was about to cast the spell. Yet, to his surprise, two red gusts started blowing violently. Like two wind blades, they attacked the bugs fiercely.Alex was stunned. Taking a good look, it was two embroidery needles with a red thread tied to them. It was Claudia’s weapon.He could tell that Claudia’s needles were quite powerful. Right on target, they hit the bugs’ mouths when they were wide open.Then, the two red threads lit up as bright as the sun, burning like fire. This kind of thread was more advanced than the silk thread that she’d used earlier.“Hisss—”The bugs hissed loudly in tremendous pain as they struggled on the ground.Alex didn’t waste time—he cast a Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, the Great Icebound Spell!With the sound of something quickly being built up, the two golden bugs and the red bugs behind them were sealed in ice.He looked towards Claudia, who was standing beside him. “Why are you here?”Claudia looked indiffere
The two human locusts weren’t that strong, and their cultivation had been diminished a little when they crossed the border.Such was the power of the force field.If it were stronger, the consequences would not be as simple as diminished cultivation, but like the giant bird before, it would have its life diminished. The final ending, however, was the same.Alex's Xavion Sword cut out a wheel of light.With a single sword, the two human locusts were decapitated.Poof… Poof… Poof...What had caught Alex off guard was the moment the two human locusts were chopped apart by the Xavion Sword—the blood inside their bodies spurted out like an erupting volcano.The blood, which was fishy and smelly, wasn’t red but green.Once the green blood met the air, green smoke came out.The strange poison was incomparable.Fortunately, the Requiem Clock hanging over Alex’s head had not been taken off. The golden holy energy was like a shadow, and the highly toxic blood hit the golden shield and
