Chapter 295: Chapter 293 Eliminating the Gu Worm

Lu Tianxing glanced at the retreating Xue Man, took a deep breath, and without speaking, he reached out and completely uncovered the quilt draped over Xue Man’s mother.

”Whoosh!”

With a thought, Lu Tianxing’s fingers blurred into a shadow, rapidly touching Xue Man’s mother’s body to use True Qi to seal her meridians, preventing the Gu Worms from further injuring her in their frenzy.

This was a special technique of cutting off the meridians by using True Qi to seal off the meridians. It was originally used to control enemies, but now it was employed against the Golden Cicada. If the Golden Cicada dared to rush elsewhere, it would be met with a counterstrike from the True Qi and be extinguished on the spot.

”Now it’s your turn. You’ve grown by absorbing the life force and blood of living beings, but you shall not be spared.”

After doing all of this, Lu Tianxing murmured to himself. Truth be told, he did not hold any special feelings towards rearing Gu; whether it was used for good or evil all came down to one’s intent. However, using the lives of others to rear Gu was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Sitting beside the hospital bed, Lu Tianxing took hold of Xue Man’s mother’s arm, his True Qi flowing into her body once more, forming a large net of True Qi that headed straight for the heart with practiced ease.

The Golden Cicada perched atop Xue Man’s mother’s heart seemed to sense the danger and let out a piercing scream, attempting to burrow into the heart with its sharp teeth and hide inside.

”Still trying to resist? You’re seeking death.”

Lu Tianxing snorted coldly as his True Qi surged like a tide towards the Golden Cicada.

”Squeak squeak!”

The Golden Cicada, as if it knew Lu Tianxing’s prowess, immediately abandoned Xue Man’s mother and burrowed into her esophagus in an attempt to break free.

”Minister Xue, step back,” Lu Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes, a tangible sharp light flashing from them and disappearing.

Xue Man, startled, immediately stepped back. However, the scene before her left her dumbfounded, utterly shattering her previous understanding of the world.

As Lu Tianxing’s voice rang out, Xue Man saw her mother’s mouth suddenly open wide, ejecting a Golden Cicada shining with a golden light all over.

Once the Golden Cicada left Xue Man’s mother’s body, its wings vibrated violently, and it shrieked loudly, seemingly extremely angry.

With a piercing shriek, as if it could rip one’s soul from their body, the Golden Cicada became a bolt of golden lightning that lunged directly towards Lu Tianxing, apparently seeing him as its next host.

”Ignorant creature, daring to trouble me,” Lu Tianxing said with a cold smile, curling his finger and delivering a flick, his True Qi instantly condensing into an extremely fine needle that nailed the Golden Cicada to the wall.

”Squeak squeak!”

The Golden Cicada let out a pitiful cry, twisting madly as it appeared extremely ferocious, seemingly ready to attack once more.

Xue Man, terrified, looked at the Golden Cicada on the wall, her face filled with horror. The concrete wall was marked with shocking traces from the struggles of the insect no larger than a peanut.

”Lu Tianxing, what on earth is that thing?”

Xue Man looked towards Lu Tianxing, struggling to keep herself from screaming. Although she was a Martial Artist, she had never seen such a thing, let alone the extremely rare Gu Worm. If it weren’t for Lu Tianxing’s presence, she would have thought it was just a somewhat peculiar insect, but this scene had completely overturned her understanding.

”The chief culprit that turned your mother into something neither human nor ghost.”

Lu Tianxing did not conceal anything from Xue Man. As a martial artist, there were some things that had to be known; otherwise, one might die without understanding how they perished.

”What did you say, is it that thing?”

A deep hatred emerged on Xue Man’s face. She hadn’t expected that it was this creature that had nearly killed her mother. She immediately wanted to step forward and crush the insect to death.

”Minister Xue, what do you think you’re doing?”

Seeing Xue Man’s action, Lu Tianxing was startled and quickly grabbed her: ”Do you think this insect is that easy to kill? If you dare to approach it, I guarantee you will end up just like your mother. Now back off; leave this insect to me.”

After asking Xue Man to step back, Lu Tianxing reached out to grab the Golden Cicada. Sensing the approach of flesh and blood, the Golden Cicada became increasingly frenzied, letting out shrill cries as it clawed at the concrete wall, scattering debris everywhere.

Lu Tianxing carefully wrapped the Golden Cicada with True Qi and looked at it hovering in the palm of his hand. A hint of regret showed on his face; if he knew the art of Gu refinement, perhaps with this Gu Worm he could locate the Gu Master and eliminate the threat once and for all. Unfortunately, now he could only destroy it and use it as a medicinal primer.

He stirred his True Qi, turning it into fine threads that burrowed into the body of the Golden Cicada, shredding its internals to bits.

Even so, the Golden Cicada did not die. It let out ear-piercing shrieks and scrambled desperately in Lu Tianxing’s palm. After a few minutes, it gradually showed no signs of life.

At the same time, the very moment Lu Tianxing killed the Golden Cicada in Modu, in a dark mountain forest on the outskirts, a sinister man seated cross-legged in a cave suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils, resembling those of a venomous snake, were chilling to behold.

In front of him lay an earthenware jar from which shrill cries emanated; inside, several Golden Cicadas identical to the one Lu Tianxing had killed were fighting and devouring the corpses of their companions in a gruesome spectacle.

”Who is it, who killed my precious Golden Cicada, who wants to be my enemy?”

The sinister man’s voice was hoarse, his eyes full of intense rage.

”No matter who you are, for killing my precious Golden Cicada, you must die. Once I refine the Six-winged Golden Cicada, I will kill you. No, I won’t just kill you; I will devour your flesh and blood to nourish my treasures, hahaha, Six-winged Golden Cicada, Six-winged Golden Cicada, with it, I will be unrivaled, none of the Yanhuang Group will matter to me, I am the strongest, I am invincible.”

The sinister man burst into mad laughter, his gaze fixed obsessively on the Golden Cicadas struggling inside the jar, as if he was looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, unwilling to miss a single moment.

...

Seeing the Golden Cicada was finally and truly dead, Lu Tianxing turned to look at Xue Man beside him: ”Minister Xue, do you have a small box?”

Xue Man did not speak but stared blankly at Lu Tianxing. Being half a martial artist herself, she naturally knew what Lu Tianxing had wrapped around the Golden Cicada just now, True Qi. Xue Man had imagined Lu Tianxing to be strong, but she had never thought that his strength would be so overwhelming that she could only look up to it.

The Golden Cicada had given her a chilling sensation, like an unarmed ordinary person facing a ferocious beast, completely powerless to resist. Yet this ’ferocious beast’ was like a tiny ant in Lu Tianxing’s hands, unable to stir any turmoil.

”Minister Xue, snap out of it.”

Noticing Xue Man’s daze, Lu Tianxing had no choice but to step forward and pat her shoulder.

Xue Man shuddered and came back to her senses, confusedly saying, ”What did you say?”

”I said do you have a small box, empty one, to hold this insect. This insect will be the best tonic for your mother’s recovery.”

Lu Tianxing had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.

Hearing this, Xue Man did not hesitate. She searched her backpack and immediately pulled out a cosmetic case, a top-tier makeup product gifted to her on her birthday. Xue Man glanced at the cosmetic case and, with no regrets, dumped out its contents, handing it over to Lu Tianxing.
