Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Crazy? Leaving 1 Mosquito to Deal with a Rank 1 Peak Martial Artist?

Liu Ming’s hoarse, murderous voice echoed across the deserted lakeside.

However, it was as if Gu Yuexi hadn’t heard a thing. She couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a glance.

In her eyes, this so-called “Yellow Sparrow,” no matter how many trump cards he had hidden or how deep he concealed himself, was nothing more than a slightly more boisterous ant. That was all.

What truly caught her attention was the pure, divine energy fluctuation slowly seeping from the lakebed.

The aura of a Spiritual Crystal!

This aura was incredibly alluring. If it spread, it would surely attract other powerful Demon Beasts in the Secret Realm—or even other exam candidates.

’I must get my hands on it quickly. Delays breed complications!’

Gu Yuexi made her decision in an instant. She turned, her gaze landing on Chu Sheng perched on her shoulder, and spoke in a flat, conversational tone.

“I’m going to get something. I’m leaving this to you. You can handle it, right?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity.

Liu Ming: “???”

Brother Zhang and the others: “???”

Her words made everyone’s brain freeze for a second.

’What the hell?’

’Leave it to this mosquito?’

’Are you even listening to what you’re saying?!’

“BZZZ! (Alright! Don’t worry, Boss! Consider it handled!)”

Chu Sheng readily agreed.

’Division of labor, right? A little thing like this is so easy, anyone with hands could… no, anyone with a mouth could do it!’

’A Martial Artist at the Peak of First-Grade?’

’With my current strength, dealing with him will be a piece of cake, right?’

Hearing Chu Sheng’s reply, Gu Yuexi nodded in satisfaction. Without another moment’s hesitation, she turned and strode toward the center of the now-dry lakebed.

Her pace was unhurried, her gait composed, as if she were merely strolling through her own garden. She paid no mind to the Peak of First-Grade Martial Artist and the collapsed Array Masters behind her.

She trusted this mosquito.

After spending the past few days with the mosquito, she could clearly sense that its aura had also reached the absolute limit of the Peak of First-Grade, just a single step away from a breakthrough.

Coupled with its endless array of bizarre abilities, it was more than enough to deal with a Martial Artist who had just shown his hand and revealed all his trump cards.

“???”

Back at the lakeside, Liu Ming and the Array Masters sprawled on the ground could only stare, utterly dumbfounded by Gu Yuexi’s actions.

Everyone’s brain seemed to crash, their faces etched with utter disbelief.

’What does this mean?’

’What in the world is going on?!’

’She really just… left?’

’Leaving her First-Grade Early Stage mosquito… to deal with them???’

’There’s a Martial Artist at the Peak of First-Grade here, and eight Array Masters who still have trump cards up their sleeves, even if their Mental Power is depleted!’

’What on earth is she thinking??’

Liu Ming stared blankly at Gu Yuexi’s retreating back, then turned to the menacing Molten Fire Blood Mosquito hovering in mid-air.

His face, taut with caution and tension, slowly twisted until, finally, he actually burst out laughing from sheer exasperation.

’A lunatic!’

’This woman… just like the rumors at school said, she’s a complete and utter lunatic!’

’And here I was, being so careful, spending all that time analyzing the situation, afraid she had some hidden trump card.’

’Turns out I was just overthinking things.’

’The woman is just plain crazy!’

Liu Ming let out a long sigh of relief, the panic and tension in his heart instantly vanishing.

He looked at the Molten Fire Blood Mosquito hovering not far away, a trace of pity in his eyes.

’What a pity.’

’Such high Spiritual Wisdom, such a unique form… This is definitely an unprecedented Alien Species, one for the history books!’

’Too bad it chose the wrong master.’

Meanwhile, the emotions of the Array Masters sprawled on the ground were on a veritable roller coaster.

A moment ago, Gu Yuexi’s sudden appearance had given them a brief glimmer of hope for survival.

They had assumed this “School Beauty” was also a deeply cunning person, the hunter waiting behind the Yellow Sparrow!

’But what happened?!’

’What fucking good is leaving behind a First-Grade Early Stage mosquito?!’

The flicker of hope that had just ignited in their hearts was instantly extinguished as if by a bucket of ice water.

’It’s over!’

’We’re completely finished this time!’

’We were counting on Gu Yuexi to kill Liu Ming and save our lives, but it turns out she was just here to screw around!!’

“Heh…”

Liu Ming’s bone-chilling gaze locked onto Chu Sheng, and he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a trace of condescending pity:

“You poor little thing…”

“It’s a shame. All that incredible Spiritual Wisdom, only to be contracted to a lunatic.”

“Oh well. I suppose this is just your fate, isn’t it?”

The instant the words left his mouth.

Without any further hesitation, he stomped his foot. The ground cracked beneath the force, and he launched himself toward Chu Sheng like a cannonball!

His Qi Blood Power, at the Peak of First-Grade, erupted without reservation.

A thick layer of earthy yellow light condensed around his fist, letting out a piercing shriek as it tore through the air!

And yet, faced with this thunderous strike…

Chu Sheng, hovering in mid-air, showed no intention of dodging.

He simply gave an unhurried flap of his wings, which glowed with a deep red light.

[Flame Burst Feather Lv3]!

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH—!

A dozen Flaming Feather Blades, imbued with Cyan Flame Power, instantly shot from his wings like a shotgun blast. They flew toward the charging Liu Ming at a speed several times faster than a speeding bullet!

“What the fuck?!?!”

Liu Ming’s pupils shrank violently, and alarm bells screamed in his mind!

’So fast!’

’Such terrifying energy fluctuations!’

He had no time to think. Acting on pure instinct, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, pouring every last bit of his Qi Blood Power into the defensive posture!

The next instant!

The dozen Flaming Feather Blades struck him dead-on!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A rapid series of explosions thundered out!

The scorching flames and violent shockwave instantly engulfed Liu Ming!

“AHHH—!”

A bloodcurdling scream erupted from within the blast.

Liu Ming’s body shot backward more than ten meters, as if he’d been hit head-on by a speeding truck! He slammed violently onto the ground, tumbling several times before skidding to a halt.

His clothes were shredded and his body was scorched black. He was a pathetic sight!!

At that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.

The Array Masters, who had already resigned themselves to death, stared at the scene, dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

’Liu Ming… Liu Ming, who’s at the Peak of First-Grade…’

’…was… one-shot by that mosquito?!’

’No, that’s not right!’

They whipped their heads around, staring fixedly at the Molten Fire Blood Mosquito as it hovered in mid-air, leisurely flapping its wings.

Radiating from its tiny body was an aura even more powerful and suffocating than the one Liu Ming had unleashed moments ago!

That aura…

“P-Peak of First-Grade?!”

Brother Zhang, their leader, cried out in shock, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

’This mosquito… is also at the Peak of First-Grade?!’

’How is that possible?!’

’Three days ago, during the school assessment, wasn’t it just at the First-Grade Early Stage?!’

’Three days!’

’To rocket from the First-Grade Early Stage to the Peak of First-Grade?!’

’This isn’t just rocket-like speed, this is fucking hacking!!’

Meanwhile, Liu Ming, sent flying by a single attack, struggled back to his feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood that carried the stench of something burnt.

He stared at Chu Sheng as if he were seeing a ghost, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

“Impossible… This is absolutely impossible…”

“Weren’t you only at the First-Grade Early Stage three days ago…? You… You were hiding your strength too?!”

Liu Ming’s shock and suspicion reached a fever pitch.

But soon, that utter shock morphed into a tidal wave of rage and humiliation!

’My… my ultimate strength! The power I’d held back for so many years, that I’d finally unleashed after suppressing it for so long!’

’And yet, I was severely wounded in a single blow… by a mosquito?!’

Moreover, he realized something terrifying!

’This mosquito might actually be able to stop me!’

’The Spiritual Crystal… they might actually manage to take it!’

“FUCK!!!”

Liu Ming let out a roar of indignant fury, his eyes turning bloodshot as he completely descended into a frenzy!

“I don’t care what kind of monster you are! Today, you die!!”
