Although Luo Xiu could be invincible with the help of the Law of Thunder, the current situation meant that he couldn't maintain the huge consumption of the Law of Thunder, so he had to choose the Myriad Sword Art. However, in this way, the consumption of soul power would increase, so Luo Xiu had to be very careful with many of his following methods. If he didn't handle it well, it was very likely that he would have a problem. At that time, the chain reaction would cause him to fall into eternal damnation.
Sure enough, as the lightning disappeared, those insects seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and crazily rushed towards him. Even in the face of the Myriad Sword Art's sword qi, which could skewer more than a dozen insects, these insects still crazily rushed towards him as if they didn't care about their lives. This was the most terrifying thing for Luo Xiu.
"Elder Situ, get ready. I'm going to bring you out of this place. We have to take advantage of the fact that I've caught these insects off guard to rush out. Once these insects gather again, what awaits us will definitely be death from exhaustion. Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would have come alone. How could such a situation have occurred? With my strength, I can fight or escape as I wish, but bringing you along will be a bit troublesome. I don't know if those fellows think highly of me or if they have sensed something, but I have a feeling that this is related to the Heavenly Yin Cult's Tian Yin. After all, all of this is a bit too much of a coincidence!" Luo Xiu sighed and helplessly shook his head as he spoke.
Luo Xiu understood that at this moment, the current situation was more troublesome than any other situation he had encountered. Even when he was facing the Insect Race's attack, he wasn't as embarrassed as he was now. Whether it was the Myriad Sword Art or other attacking methods, apart from the Law of Time, which could have some effect on these insects, the lightning released by the Law of Thunder could kill them, but it could also make more of them stronger. In this situation, Luo Xiu really didn't dare to use his own methods to actively help these insects eliminate those who couldn't adapt.
After saying this, Luo Xiu pulled Situ Lingyun up with his left hand. Then, with a thought, the Boundary Compass's power was fully unleashed, and the Law of Time was applied to the maximum at the first moment. He controlled the blood-red sail in his hand with the Myriad Sword Art and instantly launched the most powerful attack, directly tearing a hole in the endless swarm of insects in front of him. Then, he carried Situ Lingyun and instantly rushed into the endless void. Even if there might be more powerful existences waiting for him, he didn't want to face these insects. The damage caused by the endless thunderbolts was really limited, so now Luo Xiu could no longer tear apart the encirclement of these insects as easily as before.
When Adalosu was wholeheartedly preparing to escape, the potential that he could unleash was terrifying even to himself. Facing such an unparalleled attack power, Adalosu had also revealed the strongest side of him as a Saint expert. He was more cautious than ever before. He wanted to prevent his strength from being too weak, which would cause the people behind him to notice something. Moreover, the most important reason was that he had to maintain enough combat power to deal with the enemies behind him.
Even though he was in a very difficult situation now, he hadn't met the real mastermind yet. If he really showed his full strength at this time, the enemies would definitely be prepared. This was actually disadvantageous for Luo Xiu's next plan.
In particular, when he realized that the spiritual stone vein of the Qiankun Sect might be the enemy's ambush site, the impact on him became even more important.
However, he didn't expect that even though he reacted in time, he still couldn't break out of the encirclement of the insects. Compared to the previous situation, although Luo Xiu dragged Situ Lingyun into the passage that he had forcibly blasted open, the fearless insects once again filled up the passage. As a result, Luo Xiu could only rush forward for a short distance before he could no longer move forward. Moreover, Luo Xiu consumed too much energy to control two Acquired Spiritual Treasures at the same time. Especially when he forcibly changed his circulation route, Luo Xiu's face was ghastly pale.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was actually feeling very powerless in his heart. He had the urge to curse. The assassin behind him was really not prepared to fight him head-on. He was prepared to rely on these insects to grind the two of them to death here. Although he didn't know how strong the enemy behind him was, Luo Xiu couldn't catch up to this wretched method even if he tried.
However, even though Luo Xiu was aware of the enemy's intention, there was nothing he could do. He really didn't dare to attack without holding back. If he really rushed out and was attacked by the enemy, that would be a tragedy. Moreover, he and Situ Lingyun couldn't die here. Once something happened to them, the Qiankun Sect would be finished. Luo Xiu's soul fragments hadn't been recovered yet. Who knew if he would have the chance to start over by then?
Looking at the sky that had been blocked again, Luo Xiu sighed. Previously, he was conceited about his cultivation as a Sage and didn't care about the encirclement of these insects. However, in this situation, Luo Xiu really felt helpless. He really couldn't imagine what would happen if he was really dismembered by these insects. At the thought of this, Luo Xiu could no longer remain calm. Even though he knew that he might really be killed by these insects, he had to force himself to stay alert. He looked at Situ Lingyun beside him with a calm expression.
"Phew!
Elder, we're in big trouble. I don't know what the guy behind us is thinking, but it's not hard to see from his wretched actions that he doesn't intend to let us leave alive. Moreover, he won't give us a chance to face the enemy head-on. Do you have any impression of this guy?
After all, you've lived longer than me. Even if I attack with all my strength, the number of insects I can kill is far less than the number of insects they can replenish. Who knows how many more of these insects the guy controlling these insects has! "
Luo Xiu sighed. He manipulated the Delimitation Compass to create a powerful defensive light screen. After that, he took out countless Best Grade Spiritual Stones, crushed them and began to recover his energy.
He had no choice but to do this. With his strength as a Sage, he could replenish his energy in an instant. However, because he didn't break through to the Sage Realm in this world, his battle prowess was inevitably affected. This was also because the law of time was one of the three supreme laws of time. Otherwise, if he didn't break through to the Sage Realm in another world, his battle prowess would probably be equivalent to a Quasi-Sage in this world.
"Looking at the strength of these insects, each of them is at the Golden Immortal Realm. It's impossible for a single person to control so many insects in such a large area. It's obvious that the disciples of the Saint Church of the Southern Region are attacking us. However, our Heaven and Earth Sect has never had any enmity with them. Why would they attack us? This isn't normal. Also, it's obvious that these disciples of the Saint Church of the Southern Region were hired by someone to help us.
The three black-robed men we saw before were from the Lunar Sect. Although they didn't have any obvious markings on them, it's common knowledge that the members of the Lunar Sect of the Heavenly Yin Sect travel the world with a black mask on their faces!
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the danger we're in is because the Lunar Sect of the Heavenly Yin Sect bribed the disciples of the Saint Church to kill us! "
Sighing helplessly, Situ Lingyun's expression became incomparably resentful. However, she also felt powerless and didn't speak as confidently as before.
"Alas, if it's just you alone, you won't be restrained by these things at all. But it can't be helped. I've really dragged you down this time. If it's possible, you can just leave by yourself. It's a worthy death for this old man to die here!
However, you must remember that the interests of the Sect must be placed above the overall situation. You must take back the Spirit Stone Mine as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Sect's thousand-year defense will be in vain. I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die! "
Seeing Luo Xiu's frown, Situ Lingyun sighed and said, "Don't worry.
After saying this, Situ Lingyun wanted to rush out of the defensive barrier and bury herself in the sea of insects so that Luo Xiu could have a chance to escape. Seeing this, Luo Xiu didn't dare hesitate and pulled her back. One must know that if something happened to Situ Lingyun at this time, Luo Xiu didn't dare to imagine what the point of returning to the Qiankun Sect would be.
One must know that when he returned with the blood-colored sail for the first time, Xue Yuyang and the others disappeared without a trace because of the acquired spirit treasure he brought back. Now, he came here with Situ Lingyun. Everyone knew about the Spirit Stone Mine, but he was the only one who came back alive.
Who knew if the Qiankun Sect elders would think too much about it.
At this thought, Luo Xiu couldn't just watch Situ Lingyun throw her life away. At this moment, his mind was spinning rapidly, coming up with one solution after another. He felt his scalp go numb. The insects were increasing in number and had already surrounded them. If it wasn't for the special energy shield of the Boundary Compass, he really would have to withstand the lightning bolts all the time to protect himself from the insects.
However, the Boundary Compass's energy shield with all its strength made it unable to perform Spatial Shift. At this moment, Luo Xiu realized that his attack and defense methods were monotonous. However, there was no point in dwelling on this now. Right now, he had to think of a way to get Situ Lingyun out of here alive. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.
"System, do you have any good ideas? In this situation, I've tried everything I can think of and do. None of the methods are very effective against these insects. Do you have any ideas?
If you do, please help me as soon as possible. If this drags on, I can hold on, but the energy I consume is drawn from you! "Luo Xiu asked the system in his mind helplessly.
All these years, because his cultivation had become stronger and stronger, the help that the system could provide him had become smaller and smaller. Luo Xiu had not asked for help from the system for more than ten years, and the system could only helplessly act as a mobile power source, replenishing the energy that he had consumed in battle.
However, as Luo Xiu's cultivation increased, the system could no longer replenish the energy he digested in an instant. One must know that in the past, the system could fully replenish Luo Xiu's battle energy. He didn't need to rely on spirit stones to replenish his consumed energy at all.
"Actually, as early as the moment these insects besieged the Host, the System was monitoring the specific situation in the surroundings. The System discovered something meaningful, which is that these insects seem to be in a special force field and are being secretly controlled by someone. Otherwise, just by controlling these countless insects like fish in water, it is definitely not something that can be done by ordinary means. Don't you feel that this method of controlling insects is a little familiar?"
As expected, the system in his mind did not disappoint Luo Xiu. The words it said made Luo Xiu extremely happy. However, he felt a little speechless at the way it kept him in suspense. What time was this?
"Familiar?!
System, make yourself clear. What do you mean?
Why don't I understand? What are you trying to say? "
Luo Xiu was a little speechless at the system's words, because he didn't understand why the system would say that. For a moment, Luo Xiu didn't know how to respond. "These insects are just insects. There is a powerful mother among them.
"Obviously, these insects are only a part of a swarm. Above them, there should be a powerful queen insect, just like the insects of the Insect Race. There should be a king insect among these insects, so you should understand what I'm saying. As long as you find that powerful leader, it will be very easy to solve your current crisis. The cultivation of the person controlling these insects may not be very strong, otherwise, he would have watched these insects besiege the host. And from the corpses left at the scene, although these insects can kill cultivators, if they want to devour their essence and blood, they have to wait for these cultivators to die!"
Therefore, for the current Host, you don't need to pay attention to the siege of these insects. You just need to deal with these insects. This System will show you the way, then we will find the leader and kill it. Once you lose control, these insects won't be able to pose a threat to the Host! "
Seeing that Luo Xiu could still remain calm in such a situation, the system couldn't help but sigh at Luo Xiu's growth.
