My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 2394: Chapter 499:

Sword Lord Hua Yu suddenly felt waves of fiery pain coming through. She could defend against the soldier bugs in front of her, but the ones behind were difficult to fend off.

Though she couldn’t see, she could feel that the soldier bug behind her had barbed claws. These sharp claws, once lodged into her skin and pulled away, could easily tear away large chunks from her back.

Suddenly, in front of her, the voice of Immortal Lord Du Gu came over.

“Don’t worry about me; these little bugs can’t do much to me.”

As his voice faded, the claws of two flying bugs had already landed on him.

But compared to her, those claws only grazed Immortal Lord Du Gu’s skin and clearly didn’t penetrate deep.

Obviously, Immortal Lord Du Gu’s physical body was much tougher than hers!

Linghu Gudu seemed to know what Sword Lord Hua Yu was watching. Full of pride, he said, “You see, these soldier bugs can’t really harm me. Take care of yourself, don’t worry about me!”

Linghu Gudu spoke while feeling his injuries. At the same time, he looked with doubt at the Four Heavens Sword Monarch ahead.

These soldier bugs couldn’t immediately injure him severely, but they could still harm him. If attacked repeatedly, the wounds would accumulate and eventually heavily injure him.

Of course, that would require being attacked by these soldier bugs tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times.

However, the Four Heavens Sword Monarch, when attacked by the soldier bugs, only had a single red mark appear, and his skin wasn’t even broken. This was excessive!

He had cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, which made his physical body strong, but what about the Four Heavens Sword Monarch?

How could his physical body be so strong? Among the disciples of Four Treasures Peak, even the most advanced cultivation of Eight Nine Mysterious Art by Senior Brother Xiang Ziyu probably couldn’t achieve this; only the master could.

Master…

Linghu Gudu’s expression suddenly became extremely strange.

Suddenly, he realized a problem: apart from Master, no one in this world within the True Immortal Realm would have such a bodily strength.

Also, this person uses a sword, and his master uses a sword too.

This person is adept with poison, and his master is also adept with poison.

Could this person be his master in disguise? Probably not, right?

But based on just this, he couldn’t confirm if this person was indeed his master.

These soldier bugs were too numerous; in a short while, everyone was injured, including Immortal Lord Yun Huo, Immortal Lord Fu Liu, and Flourishing Flower Immortal Monarch at the rear, who were now also wounded.

Their bodies were weaker, and if wholly struck, their arms would immediately be completely cut open, exposing bare bones.

Cao Zhen stood at the front, observing the injured few, his brows furrowed tightly. This couldn’t continue.

Although Immortal Lord Yun Huo’s mouth was almost a match for Little Beiyan, she was nonetheless a human and a very enthusiastic human, so he couldn’t just let her and the other two humans die.

Now, there was only one way to ensure their survival.

“All of you step back, move away from me; engage in combat while retreating, and I will attract these alien creatures. Soon, when you’ve retreated far enough, take the opportunity to leave the battlefield.”

As Cao Zhen spoke, dense poisonous energy surged from within him. Just relying on killing was too slow; by spreading the poison externally, he could kill these soldier bugs faster.

“We’re escaping?” Sword Lord Hua Yu responded, swinging her sword to stab at the nearest soldier bugs, loudly saying, “Four Skies Fellow, this way you’re too dangerous. There are surely more soldier bugs coming from afar. If we leave, how can you face so many soldier bugs alone?”

“Haven’t you noticed? These soldier bugs can’t break my defense; what’s the point if more come? Enough dawdling. You here are truly affecting me. With you here, I worry about poisoning you, unable to release my full power of poison, and distracted by needing to help you.

Just hurry up and leave, then I can lighten up a bit.”

As soon as he said this, Sword Lord Hua Yu found herself momentarily unable to respond, while Immortal Lord Zi Yi and Immortal Lord Yan Chui quickly began their retreat.

Vast Universe Immortal Monarch hesitated a moment, and then started retreating as well, his speed faster than the others.

His junior sister’s side had already become dangerous.

Sword Lord Hua Yu watched everyone retreat, remembered the Four Heavens Sword Monarch’s earlier words, and started retreating as well. He truly hadn’t expected that one day, as someone honing swordsmanship, under rules forbidding the use of immortal energy, he would astonishingly become a burden!

As everyone retreated, they pressed their backs together, forming a circle to jointly resist these soldier bugs, finally starting to feel less pressure.

As they fought, they gradually retreated towards the back.

Initially, many soldier bugs still surrounded them from behind, but as Cao Zhen accelerated in killing soldier bugs, these bugs began to congregate towards him.

Meanwhile, as everyone kept retreating, the soldier bugs continuing to besiege them decreased more and more.

“We’re about there.” Immortal Lord Zi Yi glanced at the dozen soldier bugs following beside them and suddenly spoke. “Let’s finish off these soldier bugs and quickly leave.”
