Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2804: Chapter 21: Wang Family Saintess Dominates the Sacred Domain (Part 2)

As cold sweat broke out all over him, the arrogance and fury in his heart were also ignited, like a wild beast driven into a corner with no way to escape: ”You little brat, you’ve gone too far. This Immortal Monarch will fight you to the death!!”

He had tried to run only because he knew he was no match for the Tianyang Saint Emperor, not because he was afraid of some mere Transcendent Void Realm female cultivator!

So what if she was Bug Saint’s junior martial sister? Today, he just had to teach this ignorant girl who didn’t know how high the sky was a lesson!!!

In an instant.

The aura around Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch surged madly, bursting out with a powerful, sinister presence. As his blood and qi roiled, his whole body swelled and puffed up, his face flushing bright red.

He swiftly sacrificed a Spirit Insect Pouch, then opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto it.

The Spirit Insect Pouch immediately began to churn and bulge; one blood-drenched evil poisonous insect after another scrambled to squeeze out of it. Their bodies lengthened as they met the wind, and in the blink of an eye each turned into a gigantic poisonous insect beast.

These giant poisonous insect beasts came in many forms: common spiders, centipedes, scorpions, snakes, toads, as well as two strange evil bugs shrouded in black mist, only their ghastly mouthparts exposed. Altogether, there were seven of them.

Presumably, this was the origin of the title ”Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch.”

Each of these giant poisonous insect beasts radiated monstrous ferocity; clearly, they had at least reached the Level Twelve tier.

Some spewed poisonous mists, some exuded bone-chilling Evil Qi, others bared rows of razor-sharp fangs and swung claws gleaming with icy light as they lunged to encircle and attack Wang Luo Jing.

The most imposing of them all was a gigantic toad.

Its entire body glowed with dazzling Jin Guang, emanating endless cold; its aura was sharp and perilous, having reached Peak Level Twelve, only a hair’s breadth away from Level Thirteen, the equivalent of the human True Immortal Realm.

The instant it landed, the two cheeks of that giant toad swelled rapidly, ballooning into two enormous air sacs in the blink of an eye.

The next moment.

”Gwaaa!!”

A deafening croak exploded forth.

A terrifying energy wave blasted out, shattering and freezing even the surrounding space as it turned into a powerful Shock Wave that surged toward Wang Luo Jing.

[Moon-Swallowing Golden Toad]?!!

Many among the onlooking crowd recognized this poisonous creature. Their faces changed drastically as they cried out in shock, and at the same time, their bodies unconsciously retreated again and again.

This was a notoriously vicious poisonous lifeform that had caused no small number of disasters in many parts of the Sacred Domain.

At the same time, the Moon-Swallowing Golden Toad was also one of the [Top Ten Vicious Poisonous Species Within the Jurisdiction] officially listed by the Dongxia Divine Dynasty, as a warning to all—if one ever encountered this poisonous creature, one must not act tough, but should flee early to preserve one’s life.

And aside from the Moon-Swallowing Golden Toad, the other six vicious poisonous insects of Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch were all famed and formidable aberrant species as well—only, their reputation and power did not quite measure up to the Moon-Swallowing Golden Toad.

”This Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch does have some skills.” The Tianyang Saint Emperor frowned inwardly, unsure whether that little girl Wang Luo Jing, whose aura seemed to be only at the sixth layer of the Transcendent Void Realm, could withstand it.

If she really ran into danger later, then for the sake of her having come to help expose the fraud, and for the sake of her being Bug Saint’s junior martial sister, he would have to step in and save her.

But while the onlookers were in a flustered uproar, the very target of the attack, Wang Luo Jing, remained calm and composed. Her pair of deep, dark eyes were still utterly tranquil, as though nothing before her was worth stirring her emotions in the slightest.

She flipped her jade-like hand, and a Spirit Insect Pouch also appeared in her grasp.

This Spirit Insect Pouch looked much smaller than Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch’s. Its surface, which seemed to be made of beast hide, was densely inscribed with dark-golden Runes, radiating a mighty sacred pressure; in terms of sheer oppressive aura, it far surpassed the one Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch used.

”That is... a Sacred Artifact–grade Spirit Insect Pouch?”

The Tianyang Saint Emperor narrowed his eyes, secretly shocked.

Spirit Insect Pouches were not common treasures to begin with. After all, only the rare Insect Masters had any use for them. The market was limited, so Artifact Refiners seldom went out of their way to forge such items.

The Immortal Artifact–grade Spirit Insect Pouch that Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch had was already exceedingly valuable.

As for a Sacred Artifact–grade Spirit Insect Pouch, the Tianyang Saint Emperor had lived for more than half his life and had never seen one. He would never have thought that today he would see one on a young little girl.

How many Spirit Stone would a Sacred Artifact–grade Spirit Insect Pouch cost?

The Tianyang Saint Emperor was secretly shocked to the core. This was probably even more expensive than the national-protecting Sacred Artifact [Tianyang Saint Emperor Bell] passed down through generations of their Tianyang Imperial Household, by a fair bit, no less.

One had to know that the estimated price of the Tianyang Saint Emperor Bell was around thirty pieces of Chaos Spirit Stone.

For a moment, the Tianyang Saint Emperor felt a touch of sour envy in his heart.

What on earth is the background of this girl—no, this little Immortal—anyway?

All of these twists and turns in the Tianyang Saint Emperor’s mind were unknown to Wang Luo Jing. After taking out the Spirit Insect Pouch, she did not use Essence Blood to activate it like Seven-Bug Immortal Monarch had. Instead, she joined forces with the Ghost Eye Giant Butterfly, using God Sense to drive it.

In an instant, one ferocious and terrifying vicious insect after another beat its wings and flew out from the Spirit Insect Pouch—one, two, three... a full twelve of them.

Their bodies also lengthened as they met the wind, becoming enormous in the blink of an eye, and each one radiated overwhelming ferocity, their strength all having reached the Level Twelve tier.

The moment they landed, they spread their membranous wings and pounced savagely toward the opposing vicious insects.

Unlike the varied species on the other side, the vicious insects in Wang Luo Jing’s Spirit Insect Pouch were all of a single kind. Beneath the carapace on their backs sprouted thin membranous wings; their twin claws were like two sharp sickles, their mouthparts hideous, their speed extreme—as if they had been born purely for killing.
