Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1052: Chapter 385: Insect Demon Decides the Fate!

Always using Divine Sense to watch Ji Yuan on the field, he naturally saw Xiao Xuan condensing a dirt-colored stone in front of himself with his spiritual mind and mana.

The stone spun rapidly, and dust appeared all around, forcing Yan Zhirou and the others to avoid its sharpness.

Seeing that the timing was ripe.

Xiao Xuan uttered a sharp shout.

“Go!”

With a single word, the stone shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

While leaving a dirt-colored mark in mid-air, it pierced through the brow of the Toxic Corpse King.

The Toxic Corpse King, who could still struggle fleetingly, suddenly froze on the spot.

Seeing this situation, Ji Yuan felt a moment of panic.

This… Did Xiao Xuan strike successfully with one blow?!

Could it be that the brow is the weak point of the Toxic Corpse King?

Ji Yuan subconsciously pondered this as he was already preparing to call out “Thunderbolt…” but at this moment, he noticed the Toxic Corpse King’s mouth move.

Another part of the marsh.

Sensing this strange occurrence, Mo Tusheng couldn’t wait any longer and pulled off the shroud from his body.

Then holding a Talisman between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, he incanted a few words.

His figure immediately transformed into a black smoke and vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was in front of the Toxic Corpse King.

“Mo Tusheng?! I’ve been waiting for you a long time!”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xuan did not panic in the slightest, only snickering with confidence.

Not just him, but also Ma Gui, Yan Zhirou, and the others had already anticipated this.

Now, upon seeing Mo Tusheng arrive, they unleashed their powerful killing blows.

Mo Tusheng, having planned to make a move, couldn’t be unprepared.

Especially since his purpose was just to strike the final blow, not to tangle with these people.

So upon appearing, he raised his hands burning with Yin Corpse Demon Fire and struck the Toxic Corpse King’s head fiercely.

When he acted, Xiao Xuan and the others naturally did as well.

First was Xiao Xuan, who summoned the stone back and used the same method to strike Mo Tusheng’s brow.

Ma Gui gripped the handle with both hands and thrust the Demon Marrow Drill violently toward his feet, immediately making it appear above Mo Tusheng’s head, as if to drill him in half.

Yan Zhirou formed hand seals, a vertical pattern appeared on her brow, and minute blood glimmers fell from her eye corners.

In this moment, an aura of majesty seemed to emanate from her body, and she sharply shouted.

“Shatter!”

Feeling the series of killing blows, Mo Tusheng was scared. Under normal circumstances, even one killing blow would require his full strength to counter.

But now… All he felt was that he had to use his trump card.

Or else, he’d be as good as dead!

But what trump card could withstand so many killing blows simultaneously?

Without hesitation, Mo Tusheng immediately used the only True Treasure left for him by the Soul Hall Master.

At the moment this True Treasure appeared, a seven-layer black tower descended from the sky, shielding Mo Tusheng’s figure.

Xiao Xuan’s stone shattered the first layer, Ma Gui’s Demon Marrow Drill shattered the second layer…

As the black tower crumbled layer by layer, just when Mo Tusheng planned to take the opportunity to kill the Toxic Corpse King, he suddenly caught sight of a streak of lightning at the corner of his eye.

Lightning appeared first in his peripheral vision, and when he reacted, he saw a silhouette.

A figure wearing a Conical Hat, clad in black armor, holding a blazing long spear.

As this person emerged, the spear pierced into the Toxic Corpse King’s chest, the tremendous force lifting the Corpse King into mid-air.

This sudden change left everyone present shocked.

As strong as Xiao Xuan was, he only sensed Mo Tusheng when he first approached.

Any other stronger presence, he did not sense.

But now, who is this black-armored man appearing halfway…? How could his aura still be a mid-stage Core Formation?

Ji Yuan now stood in the void, right hand holding the Fire God Spear, thrusting the Toxic Corpse King into the air, then violently shook the spearhead.

Mana concealed as Blood Qi surged, just with this motion, the delapidated kite-like Corpse King was shattered, bursting apart.

He slightly raised his head, revealing his face hidden beneath the Conical Hat and black-clad armor.

He casually shook off the green corpse fluid from the Fire God Spear, a hoarse laughter resonating in his throat.

“Thank you, everyone!”

With those words, his figure seemed to ascend like the world, caught by a ray of white light leading upward.

But also at this moment, the belated Mo Tusheng reacted and hurriedly urged the remaining black tower to cast a black beam.

The black beam pierced the white light.

Ji Yuan’s figure flickered, struck by the black beam on the shoulder.

The powerful attack shattered the Spirit Devouring Armor on Ji Yuan’s shoulder, yet the remaining energy still left his shoulder bloodied.

But fortunately, they were mere superficial wounds.

With the white light guiding, his figure ascended straight up, quickly disappearing from sight.

Xiao Xuan took a step forward to where Ji Yuan had just vanished, reaching out to retrieve the shattered Spirit Devouring Armor, gently rubbing it in his hand, and injecting mana.

The Spirit Devouring Armor transformed into the black-golden corpse of a bee demon.

Yan Zhirou and Ma Gui rushed up, witnessing this scene.

“Spirit-Devouring Bee…”

“You know it?!” Xiao Xuan instantly turned to Yan Zhirou.

The latter nodded slightly, “Yes, this is the Spirit-Devouring Bee, ranked forty-eighth on the Strange Insects list. If cultivated by ancient cultivator methods, it can evolve into Spirit Devouring Armor, worn by a cultivator to devour surrounding Spiritual Qi without being detected, and also serves as a powerful protective artifact.”

“So, it seems this person cultivates insect cultivation techniques?”

Xiao Xuan slowly turned around, his face dark as he scanned the rapidly fleeing Mo Tusheng.

“When did our Jiyuan Continent give rise to such an… Insect Demon?”
