Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Live Up to the Ancestors (Third Update)
This strike turned Ah Fei’s complexion deathly pale, but it managed to blast open a path, at least.
He staggered and tottered as he ran outside.
Seeing his disciple had already rushed out, Lu Xia’s heart finally settled down.
By this time, the two Gu insects had also joined the fray.
Lu Xia summoned up his energy and stretched the phantom image of the Three-Legged Golden Toad to its limits.
He knew that with his own strength alone, there was absolutely no way to defeat these two transformed Gu insects.
Now, the only thing he could rely on was the fear these two insects had of his life-bound Golden Toad.
But just at that moment,
from the darkness came a buzzing sound, followed by an extremely unpleasant voice.
“It’s a disgrace that the Insect Tribe, having inherited its power for thousands of years, cannot even deal with a junior!”
Upon hearing this, both the Giant Scorpion and the spider showed signs of embarrassment.
At the same time, an immense poison bee charged out with lightning speed and headed straight for Lu Xia.
Lu Xia was startled and tried to dodge, but the Giant Scorpion blocked his way with a sinister laugh.
Just that moment’s delay allowed the poison bee to get close, and then a streak of black light swept by.
Lu Xia’s body shook all over, and the phantom image of the Three-Legged Golden Toad behind him wavered, almost collapsing.
Then a very ominous black color appeared on Lu Xia’s face.
At this moment, all the Gu insects felt a great sense of relief.
The Matriarch Spider even let out a triumphant laugh, “Little guy, you’ve been hit by the poison dart of the poison bee. Even a Golden Immortal would tremble in fear, you’re done for!”
Indeed.
The blackness spread across Lu Xia’s body at an incredibly fast rate.
In an instant, he was enveloped in the ominous black color, and his life-bound Three-Legged Golden Toad struggled in agony behind him.
At this moment, Lu Xia could feel intense pain at the cellular level.
The pain was so intense that he felt as if he would collapse completely at any moment.
But Lu Xia laughed.
Within his smile, a hint of determination flashed through his eyes.
Seeing the expression on Lu Xia’s face, the Matriarch Spider’s body shuddered, as it recalled some deeply engraved memories.
In the past, it was just an insignificant little spider and had once followed the vast Insect Tribe army to wage war in this world.
In the beginning, everything was going smoothly, with no humans able to withstand the charge of their army.
But soon, they encountered a group of formidable opponents.
These humans could also manipulate a type of strange insect and all possessed great power; even the most powerful among them could battle the queen without being defeated.
Late, the Matriarch Spider learned that these people were called Gu Masters.
The most powerful individual was known as the Gu Master!
The previously unstoppable onslaught of the Insect Tribe was halted.
Although there were not many Gu Masters, they stood like indestructible rocks, withstanding wave after wave of the Insect Tribe’s assaults.
After three days of fierce fighting, the ground was covered with a thick layer of insect corpses.
And the Gu Masters had suffered heavy casualties, with only a few remaining.
The queen, in a rage she could not suppress, personally led the team for one final death charge.
The Matriarch Spider was also part of that overwhelming Insect Tribe army at the time.
But it had noticed very strange expressions on the faces of the Gu Masters who were surrounded.
There was no fear, no despair.
What was there was a kind of resignation, a decisive determination!
The Giant Scorpion died.
Two swift blows eliminated two powerful members of the Insect Tribe.
The Mother Spider felt a chilling terror, wanting to run, but the path was already blocked by Lu Xia.
Shivering, just as Lu Xia suddenly grunted and his overwhelming aura began to plummet, the once intense golden flame also started to thin out.
The Mother Spider was momentarily stunned, then burst into an elated laugh.
“I truly can’t understand you humans, committing such foolish acts! But in the end, isn’t it all the same? Hahaha!”
With that, the Mother Spider charged at him.
But just as she closed in, Lu Xia suddenly raised his head, his once dim and lifeless eyes now shining brilliantly.
The Mother Spider’s heart shook violently. She wanted to run, but it was already too late.
Lu Xia embraced the Mother Spider in one move, and the waning golden flame flared one last time, engulfing the Mother Spider.
The Mother Spider let out a pained scream, frantically struggling, trying to break free from Lu Xia.
But the seemingly frail Lu Xia held on with hands like steel clamps, never letting go.
The fiery pain scorched the Mother Spider to the core, and in extreme rage, it plunged its metallic, cold claws directly into Lu Xia’s back.
Thump!
Blood splattered.
Lu Xia trembled slightly, but his face still bore a resolute look.
The Mother Spider, terrified out of its wits, almost howling, said, “Why, why don’t you damned humans know fear? Aren’t you the ones most afraid of death?”
Yet, the corners of Lu Xia’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
Enraged by Lu Xia’s expression, the Mother Spider’s claws frenziedly pierced deeper into his flesh, with bones visibly exposed in the gaping wounds.
But even so, Lu Xia did not let go.
A moment later, the Mother Spider let out a cry of despair and the golden flame burned it into oblivion.
