"Gu worms!?
Elder, are you sure you're not mistaken? These are gu worms!?
How is that possible?
My attack just now was far stronger than that of an ordinary Saint expert. How could such a powerful attack not kill a single worm? You're telling me that these are gu worms?!
Are you kidding me?! "Luo Xiu frowned deeply and asked incredulously.
Situ Lingyun's answer was simply inconceivable. Luo Xiu was flabbergasted by such a large number of gu worms!
If so many of them were really Gu worms, with his powerful Saint-level attack, even if there were countless worms sharing the power of his attack, it was absolutely impossible for them to receive his punch without any damage. Even the insect cloud did not produce a single ripple. How could this not shock Luo Xiu?
"That's right, don't be so surprised!
These are indeed gu worms, but they're a little special. Alas, how should I explain this to you? We might have a problem with our cognition. If these gu worms were the ones attacking the spirit stone mine, then Elder Yuan Shuo and the others abandoning the mine was undoubtedly the best choice. But what puzzles me is why they didn't ask for help from the sect. Or are they in the same situation as us? If that's the case, then this matter is incomparably tricky. No wonder the Heavenly Yin Church chose to retreat so easily. So that's why! "Situ Lingyun said helplessly with a grave expression.
While blasting away the Gu worms that were charging towards them, he also explained to Luo Xiu. As the two of them attacked mercilessly, the two of them also realized the seriousness of the problem. These worms were able to absorb their attacks, and as the number of attacks absorbed increased, the aura of the worms also became stronger. This discovery made Luo Xiu feel fear.
If this was really the reason, then it was undoubtedly something he didn't want to see. From the scene in front of him, Luo Xiu could feel how terrifying the invisible pressure these worms brought to him was. And that wasn't all. After a period of fierce attacks, Luo Xiu had realized something was wrong. When attacking these worms, if he focused his attacks on a few of them, then his attacks would still be effective. But if he used a large-scale attack, then the strength of his attacks wouldn't be enough to directly kill these black worms.
After realizing this, Luo Xiu decisively abandoned his previous physical attacks and directly used the Law of Lightning to summon thunderbolts that filled the sky. He did not hope to cause a large number of deaths or injuries to these Gu worms. With his tyrannical strength, he directly blasted them in all directions. At this moment, he did not care about hiding his own strength. Compared to the dangers that he might encounter, he had already thought of a solution for some of the subsequent troubles.
Sure enough, as Luo Xiu unscrupulously released thunderbolts all over the sky, the formidable power of thunder wrapped in endless terrifying destructive power directly bombarded them, causing a large area of damage. It was smooth and terrifying. The violent power of thunder was crazily released, causing Luo Xiu's complexion to become somewhat pale.
There was no other way. There were just too many worms, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. If he hadn't been proficient in the law of thunder and had the strength of a Sage, he would have already died here. Even so, he didn't feel good now, not only because of the pressure brought by these worms, but also because of the hardness of some of the gu worms in the sky.
Under the thunderbolts, countless worms were killed on the spot, but the black cloud of worms in the sky didn't show any signs of decreasing. An even denser cloud of worms came rushing over like a dark cloud covering the sky.
This scene made Luo Xiu a little dumbfounded. He didn't know how to describe the speechlessness in his heart. For him, at this moment, Luo Xiu felt the exhaustion of his body and couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't recommend exposing his true cultivation, looking at Situ Lingyun beside him, who had the same ugly expression as him, he knew that if he continued to let these worms attack, they would become more passive and the situation would become worse.
"Elder Situ, we can't go on like this!
There are too many of these gu worms, so much so that it's a little difficult to resist. The strength in my body has been greatly consumed. Even with the replenishment of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, it can't make up for the huge consumption. There's no time to extract the spiritual qi from the spirit stones. If this drags on, I'm bound to be besieged and killed by these worms!
Although these worms don't delay our fighting strength, with so many Golden Immortal level gu worms attacking us at the same time, it has a great impact on my strength! "
Luo Xiu was also very helpless at this moment. Even if he attacked with all his strength, he still felt a little numb in the face of the overwhelming tide of worms.
He really didn't expect that the physical strength of these gu worms would be so terrible. Moreover, these worms had the strength of a Golden Immortal. With such a large number and such a large group, it was more frightening than any race that Luo Xiu had ever seen.
Even if Luo Xiu could still hold on at the moment, it was only because he could mobilize the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to maintain his powerful attack. However, as these gu worms continued to devour the spiritual qi of heaven and earth in the surrounding air, Luo Xiu believed that even if his Divine Soul was strong enough to mobilize the endless power of heaven and earth, sooner or later, he would not be able to hold on. At that time, he would really be besieged by these worms and die of exhaustion.
No matter how confident Luo Xiu was before, when he was really besieged by so many worms, he still underestimated the practitioners in this world. If it was before, Luo Xiu might have been complacent because he had concealed his cultivation of a Sage. However, the appearance of these worms almost crushed all his fantasies in an instant.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Luo Xiu had an inexplicable bad feeling. If the master of these worms was really prepared to fight to the death with him here, then he simply did not dare to imagine how powerful the master behind these Gu worms was.
Luo Xiu did not believe that a Sage-to-be could come up with such a huge amount of resources. Just refining these worms into his own Gu worms required a lot of Spiritual Energy, not to mention such a huge number of them. Since Luo Xiu started fighting with these worms, he had killed more than 10,000 of them. However, even after so many of them were killed, the swarm of worms in the sky did not become thinner at all. This undoubtedly made Luo Xiu feel great pressure.
"What should we do now?
With such a dense number of Gu worms and such a fearless momentum, it's unrealistic for me to rush out with my limited strength. But what surprises me is your strength. You're obviously a Sage, and when did you cultivate the Thunder Magic Sense? Such a powerful Thunder Magic Sense! What else are you hiding from us? In this case, no matter what we did before, you can't die here now. So you should escape first. Old Man will help you stall these things! "
What Luo Xiu did not expect was that Situ Lingyun's focus was completely different from what he had shown before.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was speechless. This old guy was at the point of life and death, yet he still cared about the fact that he had concealed his cultivation. This made Luo Xiu angry and helpless at the same time. He was well aware that under such circumstances, if he did not explain himself, Situ Lingyun might really disregard everything and let him leave first. In that case, it would be inconsistent with Luo Xiu's plan. Now that Luo Xiu had exposed his cultivation as a Sage, he did not mind revealing his true identity. Of course, if he could establish a foothold in the Heaven and Earth Sect as a Mysterious Underworld expert, that would be what he wanted most.
"Elder, why do you still care about this at such a critical moment? I didn't mean to conceal my cultivation. It's just that Sect Master Jadesang didn't want me to expose it. If I had known that Sect Master Jadesang and the others would have an accident while refining the scarlet sail, I would not have let them persist in refining this Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Alas!
When I went to that small world with Elder Yuan Shu, I mentioned to Sect Master that I was about to make a breakthrough in my cultivation. But I was also very surprised. In that small world, my cultivation directly surpassed the Sage-to-be Realm and reached the Sage Realm. Moreover, due to the special cultivation method and the Rules of Heaven and Earth in that small world, the Great Dao of Origin that I condensed was not as powerful as that of the Sage in the Untainted World, but it possessed the attacking means of a Sage. That's why I was able to help Lin Qing become a Sage-to-be. But in order to avoid any problems, I carefully concealed it. But the situation here doesn't allow me to conceal my strength anymore, so I exposed it. But I had no choice. If I had known it would be like this, I would never have let you take the risk! "
Luo Xiu couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart. But in the face of Situ Lingyun's question, he had to give a suitable explanation.
He had no choice. Under such circumstances, if he really ignored it and let Situ Lingyun's imagination run wild, God knew what this Elder would think. Although it might not be a big deal for Luo Xiu now, it was hard to say what kind of uncertain factors it would bring to him when he returned to the Sect.
Luo Xiu sighed and explained before Situ Lingyun could say anything, "Alright, Elder, let's not discuss this for now. Our top priority right now is to find a way out. As for what you said about opening a path for me, there's no need for that. I have a way to bring you out with me, Elder, but I'm worried that once we get out, we might face even more uncertain and unknown dangers. Once that happens, anything that happens could bring us a calamity. We have to be on guard against this kind of situation!" Luo Xiu sighed and explained before Situ Lingyun could say anything.
As for why he said this, the reason was very simple. The person behind them was able to control so many Gu worms to besiege them. Moreover, this kind of fearless appearance was enough to explain many problems. Therefore, at this moment, Luo Xiu also felt his scalp tingling. There were simply too many Gu worms, so many that he already felt powerless to the extent that he couldn't kill them all. It was simply impossible to imagine how powerful the master behind these Gu worms was.
While explaining, Luo Xiu's hands did not stop moving. He used the powerful Law of Thunder incisively and incisively. The endless yuan qi of heaven and earth was forcibly mobilized by Luo Xiu. Like a violent torrent, the violent attack sprinkled on the boundless black cloud in front of him. The moment the black cloud of insects collided with the golden lightning, the counterforce it brought to Luo Xiu made him feel extremely uncomfortable. If not for his strong physical strength, Luo Xiu would simply be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in the face of these insects. Even so, the amount of yuan qi of heaven and earth he could mobilize now was much less than before.
If not for the fact that this place was a spiritual stone vein and the yuan qi of heaven and earth here was far more than ordinary places, Luo Xiu could hold on for so long. After all, if an expert at the Sage Realm wanted to extract the yuan qi of heaven and earth, the amount of yuan qi of heaven and earth he could extract was simply unimaginable.
However, such a huge amount of yuan qi of heaven and earth could not hold on for too long in the face of Luo Xiu's crazy extraction speed. At this moment, Luo Xiu had to mobilize a large amount of Soul Strength to frantically extend outwards and extract the yuan qi of heaven and earth from a farther place. Now, the speed at which he extracted the yuan qi of heaven and earth was much, much faster than the speed at which the yuan qi of heaven and earth was replenished.
Under such circumstances, Luo Xiu's thunderbolt attacks were no longer as powerful as before when the yuan qi of heaven and earth was insufficient. At this moment, although Luo Xiu could still use the Law of Thunder to attack, the damage it could cause was much less than before.
After realizing this, Luo Xiu instantly changed his attack method under Situ Lingyun's astonished gaze. He immediately launched the Innumerable Swords Technique. The thunderbolts filling the sky instantly transformed into countless light swords that shot madly towards the swarm of insects like flying swords. Although they were not very fast, the attack power of each thunderbolt was much stronger than the previous thunderbolt attacks.
Coupled with Luo Xiu's powerful sword intent, every attack of Luo Xiu's was extremely lethal. However, there was one thing that Luo Xiu could not bear — the consumption of the Innumerable Swords Technique was even more terrifying than the Law of Thunder. Moreover, because he had to use the same method to deal with these insects in front of him, one could imagine how much consumption it would consume.
Although these poisonous insects were not strong individually, the Law of Thunder alone could block the siege of all the insects. However, the Innumerable Swords Technique could not do this. This was the real reason why Luo Xiu had chosen to use the Law of Thunder at the first moment. It was only by combining the two that he could completely solve the current crisis.
