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

Apologize?

Give back the unusual flame he had just gotten his hands on, one that was still warm?

Heh!

’There’s no way I’m spitting out something that I, Lord Mosquito, have already sucked into my belly!’

Chu Sheng was naturally speechless at Zhao Li’s words.

However, he did glean one piece of information from this... The unusual flame must have been something this old man had obtained by chance from somewhere.

’If that’s the case, is there a way to get more from him?’

’Hehe, there is!’

’There definitely is!’

Meanwhile, the faces of Shen Yixuan and Luo Qingyu, who had just been freed, changed drastically.

Apologize?

From the bottom of their hearts, they didn’t think they had done anything wrong.

What was wrong with speaking up for a friend and defending the school’s honor?

But the thought of being locked in a cage just moments ago, pointed at like monkeys, sent a shiver of fear through them. The humiliation was worse than death.

Inside the cage, they could hold on!

But now that they were out, the thought of going back... they couldn’t quite bear it.

But to bow their heads to this group of unreasonable brutes—they couldn’t swallow that indignity.

Just as the two were caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do,

Gu Yuexi spoke.

Her voice was even colder than when she had faced the two Law Barriers earlier.

”Apologize?”

”Shouldn’t you be the ones apologizing?”

”The Xuanyuan Family... Heh, seeing you today, you truly bring shame to that name!”

Her words stunned everyone present.

’It’s over!’

’She’s... directly mocking the name the Xuanyuan Family is most proud of?’

As expected.

Zhao Li, standing opposite them, whose aged face had maintained the air of a lofty master, instantly darkened.

’Fine. What a little girl who doesn’t know her place.’

’In all my years, I have never seen such an arrogant junior.’

”Insolence!”

Zhao Li was furious. Without another word, a terrifying aura erupted from him.

His withered palm shot out, grabbing for Gu Yuexi.

The grab seemed simple, yet it felt as if it had completely locked down the surrounding Space. A colossal hand of Energy, formed from immense Qi Blood, materialized out of thin air, sealing all of Gu Yuexi’s escape routes.

Hmph!

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuexi’s eyes. Instead of retreating, she advanced.

With a flick of her wrist, she sent a Soul-Devouring Nail toward the giant energy hand. A flash of black light later, it silently pierced through the hand and shot straight for the vital point of Zhao Li’s throat behind it.

’Oh?’

A flicker of surprise crossed Zhao Li’s eyes.

’This little black nail can actually ignore my Qi Blood blockade.’

’Interesting.’

But the expression on his face remained one of utter contempt and derision.

’A paltry trick, and you dare show it off before me?’

He didn’t even retract his Attack, merely flicking a finger.

DING!

A soft chime rang out.

The incredibly fast Soul-Devouring Nail, less than three inches from his throat, was forcefully deflected by an invisible power, flying back even faster than it came!

’Not good!’

Gu Yuexi’s heart sank. She tried to dodge but found her body completely locked in place by that giant hand of Energy.

She could only watch helplessly as the black light slammed into her.

Gu Yuexi’s body shuddered violently. She stumbled back several steps, her face instantly turning deathly pale as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Although the Soul-Devouring Nail was her Magical Treasure and wouldn’t truly harm her, the terrifying rebound force attached to it still sent a violent shock through her internal organs.

’Son of a bitch!’

’You old bastard!’

’How dare you touch my Little Empress!’

Seeing Gu Yuexi get injured, Chu Sheng’s small compound eyes instantly turned blood-red.

Without any more hesitation, he activated Instant Teleportation!

BZZZT!

His figure vanished in an instant, and in the next second, he appeared to Zhao Li’s left!

’A sneak attack?’

Zhao Li scoffed inwardly.

’The little beast is pretty good with Space Law, but it’s all meaningless in the face of absolute power!’

”Suppress!”

Without even glancing at Chu Sheng, Zhao Li softly uttered a single word.

With a wave of his sleeve, a small, black, palm-sized stone that looked completely unremarkable flew out and instantly appeared above Chu Sheng’s head.

’Holy shit!’

Chu Sheng cursed in his mind, about to use Instant Teleportation to dodge again.

But he discovered that after the small stone appeared, the surrounding Space had become as heavy and solid as concrete.

His Instant Teleportation had actually failed!

And the small, rice-grain-sized stone was still growing rapidly before his very eyes.

Five centimeters, ten centimeters, fifty centimeters!

Once it grew larger, Chu Sheng could finally see that the small stone was shaped like a mountain.

And the pressure it brought down felt as heavy as a real mountain!

With every inch it grew, Chu Sheng felt the pressure on his body increase exponentially!

It was as if the entire sky was collapsing on him alone!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

His body began to make sounds as if it couldn’t bear the load; his bones felt like they were about to be crushed by the terrifying pressure!

’Damn it, this old geezer’s really got something up his sleeve!’

Chu Sheng steeled his resolve, no longer daring to hold anything back.

He unleashed all of his remaining Mental Power without reservation!

’Boundless Wings, full power!’

The Instant Teleportation of the Boundless Wings consumes Mental Power. The more consumed, the farther the teleportation. Likewise, the more consumed, the stronger the Instant Teleportation Ability!

Finally!

With a full-power Instant Teleportation, Chu Sheng’s body finally broke free from the suppression of the black stone and returned to Gu Yuexi’s side.

He had used almost all his Mental Power just to teleport a few meters!

This was enough to show that the stone’s suppressive force was terrifyingly close to the power of the Emperor Realm!

Phew!

The human and the mosquito stood side-by-side once more.

In just two short exchanges, they had gained no advantage and even ended up looking rather battered.

They both knew in their hearts that today, they had run into a tough opponent.

Although neither of them had reached the King Realm, with their various heaven-defying abilities, they could even fight against an ordinary Low Tier Emperor Realm expert, and perhaps even turn the tables and kill them.

But this old man, Zhao Li, was different.

Not only was he at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, but he was also a long-famous old monster who had been immersed in this realm for decades.

His understanding of Law and his application of power had reached a state of profound simplicity.

So.

What should they do?

Should they continue to fight?

Or should they run?

Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi looked at each other, both seeing the same thought in the other’s eyes.

’Damn it. This time, we’re not running!’

...

Around the Meridian Gate.

The crowd of onlookers who witnessed this scene were all too shocked to speak.

This was especially true for the students of Jing University.

Although it was normal that Gu Yuexi and the Divine Mosquito couldn’t defeat Zhao Li, an expert at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, but before, no matter who they faced,

Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had never been so close to being crushed in just one or two moves!

Even when they were besieged by the seven great Noble Families, they hadn’t looked this pathetic...

’This... Is this the power of a single old servant from the Xuanyuan Family?’
