Chapter 1090: Chapter 1062: Could You Breathe Fire, Please?
In the sky above the mountain stronghold, a brilliant red light flashed.
For no particular reason, the mont this red light appeared, everyone’s gaze was fixated on it.
It wasn’t because the red light was so dazzling that people couldn’t help but look at it…
But because no matter how you tried to avoid it, wherever your gaze reached, there was that red light.
It seed to shroud the sky, occupying the place where the star should have been.
The next mont, Fan Bayin discovered that around him, countless Gu insects began to wither.
Indeed, wither.
Like flowers wilting, drying up, dying.
A large number of Gu insect corpses fell to the ground, densely packed, looking incredibly terrifying.
Witnessing this scene, hope flashed in the eyes of all the people in the mountain stronghold.
They knew, this ti, they were truly saved.
The red light swept through, directly cutting an entire layer off the seemingly endless sea of insects!
Imdiately, a figure flickered through the overwhelming sea of insect corpses.
The next mont, this figure appeared before them.
“Li Chen!”
“It’s Brother Li Chen! He’s back to save us!”
“We’re saved!”
Many in the mountain stronghold showed expressions of surprise and joy.
To them, Li Chen once saved them, and in their hearts, he existed like a savior.
They believed that Li Chen, who saved them once, could definitely save them a second ti!
“Let’s go.” Li Chen looked at Fan Bayin and An Cheng beside him and spoke. His voice was calm yet powerful, filling the people of the stronghold with confidence.
Although the sea of insects hadn’t been completely cleared yet, they believed it was only a matter of ti. With Li Chen around, there was sure to be no problem!
Speaking of which, Li Chen led the two back to the front of the sea of insects.
Then, Li Chen began exterminating the insects…
“What are you… doing?” An Cheng asked sowhat puzzled, watching Li Chen wield the Red Moon, continuously slashing at waves of Gu insects charging over. An Cheng was sowhat confused.
“What do you an, what am I doing? Killing insects! Or do you want to wait to be bitten to death by these things?” Li Chen replied with a dark expression.
“Well…” At this point, Fan Bayin couldn’t help but speak: “Wasn’t that flashy move just now able to kill a large area in one shot? Why don’t you use it a few more tis and get it clean? Why bother with this…”
“Nonsense!” Li Chen’s forehead veins popped: “You know that move is flashy, huh? But did you know that the move directly depleted a third of my True Qi? In three uses, I’d be completely drained, but look at these insects, you think I can kill them all in just a dozen moves?”
Fan Bayin: “…”
An Cheng: “…”
So you were showing off earlier, huh! Both simultaneously showed disdainful looks.
What a waste of joy!
The two disinterestedly resud their insect extermination plan.
The recovery abilities of an Earth-level expert are pretty good. With Li Chen’s help, it’s not so strenuous to fend off the sea of insects. However, as for this seemingly endless sea of insects, no one knows when it can be completely cleared.
“Hey, what attribute martial artist are you?” Fan Bayin asked Li Chen while clearing away Gu insects.
“Well… actually, I’m not really sure.” Speaking of this, Li Chen felt a bit troubled.
Initially, when he broke through to the Earth level, he was in an unconscious state, which resulted in him breaking through but never knowing his attribute. He didn’t dare to recklessly add attribute attacks to his True Qi, or else his combat power could increase significantly.
Hearing Li Chen’s response, Fan Bayin was completely speechless, sighing before he said: “If there was a fire attribute martial artist here, it’d be convenient. Burn these disgusting things with one big fla, and they’d be dead clean in no ti.”
“Oh?” Li Chen looked at Fan Bayin with so surprise: “Then what’s your attribute?”
“Can’t you tell?” Fan Bayin continuously twirled his black rope, wave after wave shredding the approaching Gu insects.
“Is this… a wind attribute?”
Hearing Li Chen’s answer, Fan Bayin’s face turned black: “No!”
“Is it water? I see you waving that rope so gracefully.”
Fan Bayin’s face grew even darker: “Still no!”
“Could it be… that rare dark attribute? Your black rope…”
“Are you blind!” Fan Bayin finally couldn’t help but roar: “It’s tal attribute! tal! Can you really not tell?”
Li Chen looked at the black rope fluttering elegantly, his eye twitching: “Can’t really see it.”
“I…” Fan Bayin’s shoulders slumped: “Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk to you. But seriously, just these insects, even if we kill for days, we might not finish. You don’t have any ideas?”
“Ideas…” Li Chen suddenly smiled slightly: “Actually, I had them just a mont ago.”
“You have an idea?” An Cheng asked, quickly leaning in.
“That’s right. But it doesn’t concern you.” Li Chen waved his hand at An Cheng dismissively, signaling him to step aside.
“Alright then…” An Cheng shook his head, and then as if rembering sothing, suddenly asked Li Chen: “By the way, have you found Xiuxiu?”
“Uh…” Li Chen’s expression froze, just realizing that besides being the village chief of the stronghold, he was also An Xiu’s father. He gathered his thoughts and said: “Xiuxiu is fine, I had her hide outside earlier, so I ca in alone.”
“It’s fine, that’s good.” An Cheng let out a long sigh of relief.
“By the way, what’s your plan exactly? Hurry up and tell us, the spiritual energy outside is too thin, I’m starting to struggle with the consumption.” Fan Bayin said quickly as he saw the topic drifting away again.
“Alright.” Li Chen nodded, “I indeed have an idea, but I’ll need your cooperation.”
“Cooperation?” Fan Bayin looked puzzled.
“Help hold off these insects for a while, I need so ti,” Li Chen said.
“You’re making do the grunt work again?” Fan Bayin said with a bitter face, “I really can’t last much longer…”
“If you can’t hold on, then just wait to die.” Li Chen rolled his eyes and said, “Even if you are a Black Rope Rank strong, and you have so powerful ghosts with you, if you truly can’t make it, I’ll just take two people and charge out myself. Don’t worry, I won’t take you with .”
Fan Bayin gritted his teeth and turned his head, “Damn bugs, I’ll fight you to the end!”
Seeing Fan Bayin finally putting in effort, Li Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He indeed had an idea, and it was after Fan Bayin’s reminder that he thought of it.
A fire attribute Earth-level expert, in plain terms, isn’t that just a strong fire?
Coincidentally, it seems he happens to possess such an item.
Watching Fan Bayin and the others desperately resisting the sea of insects, Li Chen sat down cross-legged.
His True Qi was instantly drawn back into his body, while his spirit simultaneously retracted, delving deep into his own being.
The True Qi carried his consciousness to his Dantian.
Above his Dantian, sothing was still quietly floating as usual, seemingly unchanged for millennia.
Looking at this object, a cold smile appeared on Li Chen’s face, “You’ve been residing in my body for so long, it’s about ti you put in so effort, right?”
“…”
“Hey, move a bit, won’t you? Stop acting like a pig, only coming out for food and lying around when there’s none.”
“…”
“This is my body, okay? Can you be reasonable?”
“…”
Li Chen’s consciousness adhered to his True Qi, unable to express his feelings, but externally, his facial expression was evidently displeased.
“Looks like you’re forcing to play hard, huh?” Li Chen let out a cold laugh, gathering all his True Qi in an instant, unleashing the full power of an Earth-Level Joint Strongman.
Then… it transford into a hand, grabbing that small black bead and desperately pulling it out…
“Co out you! Co out!”
“Will moving kill you?”
“Don’t think I don’t know, you’re definitely sentient, stop playing dead! Hurry and co out!”
“If you don’t co out, I’ll fight to the end here, and if I die, you won’t have a place to stay either!”
Li Chen’s face twisted in determination.
However, after hearing Li Chen’s final words, the Black Pearl seed to finally loosen a bit.
Taking advantage of this slight loosening, Li Chen’s True Qi erupted, crazily dragging the Black Pearl outward.
“Puff!”
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Right now, Li Chen’s blood is an invaluable substance for himself and others.
Yet this ti, he unabashedly spat out a mouthful.
But there was not a trace of concern on Li Chen’s face.
Because, in his hand, at so unknown point, there appeared a round shiny black bead.
Li Chen’s actions startled Fan Bayin, who couldn’t help but look back, seeing Li Chen coughing up blood yet smiling joyfully, Fan Bayin shivered involuntarily.
“He’s still laughing after spitting blood? This guy must have gone mad or sothing!”
Li Chen obviously didn’t care about Fan Bayin’s opinion, pinching the Black Pearl in his hand and bringing it to his eyes.
“Since you’re out, lend a hand, will you? Burn these things away.”
The Black Pearl trembled slightly in Li Chen’s hand, as if in protest.
“I’m just asking you to spit so fire, make no mistake, I’m your master now! Or else, when I get stronger, don’t bla for mistreating you, I won’t give you any good stuff!” Li Chen grinned with a sinister smile.
The Black Pearl stopped trembling and suddenly heated up, scorching Li Chen’s hand slightly, as if conveying a ‘just you wait’ sentint.
Li Chen, feeling the burn, quickly tossed the Black Pearl.
And the Black Pearl unexpectedly escaped Li Chen’s grasp, flying directly up high into the sky over the sea of Gu insects.
Compared to the seemingly endless sea of insects, the Black Pearl appeared so insignificant that most people wouldn’t even notice its presence.
Then…
A monstrous fla suddenly erupted from within the Black Pearl.
The Gu insects vanished into smoke and ashes almost instantly upon contact.
That was no ordinary fla.
That was… Dragon Fla!
