Chapter 60

Everyone was taken aback by Bai Chen's reckless action.

Bai Chen actually showed such intimacy with a monster, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.

This monster could turn Bai Chen into a meat paste with just one slap.

“Brother Bai…”

“Be careful…” Gongsun Chenxing couldn’t help but shout.

However, strangely enough, the giant zombie did not attack Bai Chen. After exchanging a glance, they both smiled.

“Heroes are always misunderstood.”

This scene felt out of place; in everyone’s eyes, the giant zombie should have been completely irrational.

But it could coexist peacefully with Bai Chen, and there seemed to be a mutual admiration in their eyes.

The giant zombie picked up the giant spear on the ground and looked at the giant insect, which was baring its fangs and claws.

The giant insect let out a long howl, its body resembling a large truck, and charged at the giant zombie.

The giant zombie lunged forward with the spear, and with a loud bang, the spear pierced less than half an inch into the giant insect’s head.

At the same moment, the giant zombie was instantly thrown back by the impact.

The giant insect, in pain, let out a howl and became even more frenzied, lunging at the crowd.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Mei Jiangxue’s gaze sharpened, and she was already prepared to act.

Her posture was like a condensed flower, and the two swords finally emerged in an instant.

With one step, she brought forth a scene of flourishing beauty.

It was as if she was strolling up a low staircase, gradually elevating her posture.

Her footwork was exquisite and also gave a sense of visual pleasure.

Even the Medicine Venerable and the Poison Venerable couldn’t help but praise, “Marvelous, the Flower Step of the Mei Sect Master is truly unparalleled.”

Although the giant insect was incredibly fast and immensely powerful,

Mei Jiangxue did not confront it head-on. Her posture was light as she glided past the insect’s side, swinging her swords.

Two sword strikes, carrying the aura of the Flower Sword, landed on the insect’s abdomen, leaving two sword marks that penetrated halfway through its armor.

The giant insect immediately retracted its body, most of it retreating back into the cave, leaving only its massive head outside.

Mei Jiangxue’s light posture touched the ground again, her face not looking good, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“My sword aura couldn’t even tear through this beast’s armor.”

“This insect king is clad in insect gold and will soon ascend to become a dragon. It won’t be easy to deal with.”

The Poison Venerable, who had extensive knowledge of insects, immediately saw through the insect king’s true nature.

However, his face showed an unprecedented gravity. Suddenly, the Medicine Venerable’s previously dull eyes flashed with a sharp light. His white robes fluttered like a celestial being, and his figure transformed into a whirlwind, striking the giant insect’s head with a palm.

The giant insect also burst forth, its massive mouth lunging at the approaching Medicine Venerable.

However, the Medicine Venerable’s speed was ultimately faster, reaching the insect first and striking the spear embedded in its head.

With a “pu” sound, half of the spear pierced into the insect’s head, but the insect did not stop, colliding fiercely with the Medicine Venerable.

The Medicine Venerable’s protective true qi was instantly broken, and he was thrown back.

Fortunately, the giant insect did not take advantage of the situation, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The Poison Venerable quickly helped the Medicine Venerable up, whose face was extremely pale, and even after taking healing medicine, his condition did not improve.

“Old bones, can’t even handle this beast.”

Actually, everyone could see that the giant insect’s strength lay in its impenetrable armor, combined with its immense power, making it a formidable opponent even for experts.

However, with half of the spear piercing its head, the giant insect became even more frenzied, wildly thrashing around.

Fortunately, the Longhu Sect and Qixiu Sect disciples had already retreated a hundred feet away, so they were not affected.

However, Gongsun Chenxing did not retreat. No one knew what had possessed her, but she actually raised her sword to face the giant insect.

“Chenxing, come back!” Mei Jiangxue called out in alarm when she saw Gongsun Chenxing charge forward.

At that moment, the giant insect turned and opened its massive mouth, lunging at Gongsun Chenxing.

Although Gongsun Chenxing’s posture was not slow, her competitive spirit did not allow her to back down. She aimed for the insect’s eyes.

However, the insect was not foolish and immediately closed its eyes, with its thick armor covering them.

Gongsun Chenxing’s sword tip only produced a shower of sparks as it slid over the armor, and the insect’s mouth was already close.

Gongsun Chenxing realized the danger too late. The insect’s breath was so foul that it made her dizzy, and her posture became unsteady.

Mei Jiangxue was at a loss, and even if she wanted to help, Gongsun Chenxing was doomed.

Suddenly, a fire dragon descended from the sky!

Fire Brand Robe!

The first move of the Dragon Transformation Technique! Awakening!

The first move of the Seven Injuries Fist! Fist Shaking Wuyi!

The massive impact pressed the giant insect’s head to the ground.

This was Bai Chen’s first time using the Dragon Transformation Technique, and his entire body was surging with a violent force.

Pure physical strength, not the kind of power generated by internal energy.

It felt as if every cell in his body was burning wildly, and in fact, Bai Chen’s body was indeed burning.

However, unlike the red-hot brand of the Fire Brand Robe, Bai Chen was like a flame.

A flame that would not extinguish, burning wildly over his entire body.

Everyone was shocked by Bai Chen’s second attack, a body that completely defied reason.

They searched their memories but could not find any similar technique.

And in their impression, Bai Chen was definitely not this strong.

The wild flames made everyone’s hearts race.

What had happened to him in these two short days?

Mei Jiangxue, the Medicine Venerable, and the Poison Venerable all felt the innate qi emanating from Bai Chen.

The surrounding natural energy was surging towards Bai Chen.

“Has he broken through to the innate realm?”

“How is that possible? It’s only been… a few days?”

Gongsun Chenxing’s gaze was completely focused on the wildly burning figure. In her most terrifying and helpless moments,

that figure brought her a hope and light she had never experienced before, and at that moment, her heart could hold nothing else.

The first move of the Dragon Transformation Technique, Awakening, not only brought Bai Chen strength but also a surge of violent energy.

At that moment, Bai Chen desperately wanted to release this violent energy, with no time to consider others’ opinions.

Another punch, aimed at the giant insect’s head armor.

This time, the insect was truly injured. The entire head armor cracked like a shattered mirror, the cracks spreading in all directions.

The giant insect shook its head to throw off Bai Chen and lunged at him.

Boom—

The two collided, but this time, the scene of Bai Chen being thrown back did not happen as everyone imagined.

Bai Chen’s palms were tightly pressed against the insect’s head, his body leaning to resist the impact.

Everyone held their breath, disbelievingly watching Bai Chen.

Just by looking at the insect’s body, one could tell how powerful it was.

That was a strength beyond human capacity. Even they, top experts in the martial world, would have a hard time dealing with such a monster.

Not to mention the younger generation, who would be wise to run away when faced with such a monster.

Even if they couldn’t escape, using force to resist was the least wise choice.

But Bai Chen chose this seemingly least wise action, to contend with a monster.

Of course, Bai Chen’s usual behavior was often reckless, so this choice wasn’t too surprising.

But the fact that he didn’t lose to the insect in strength was the greatest shock to everyone.

The ground was shattered under Bai Chen’s feet, but he did not take a single step back.

Not only did he not retreat!

Bai Chen’s steps moved forward, forcefully pushing the insect’s body back.

The insect let out continuous cries, showing the immense pressure it was under.

The force of the pressure left everyone speechless.

A human was competing in strength with a monster and winning.

However, at that moment, Bai Chen seemed more like a monster.

Suddenly, the insect’s head twisted, breaking free from Bai Chen’s palms and lunging at him.

Everyone let out a cry of alarm. Bai Chen’s body staggered, and before he could steady himself, the insect had already bitten him.

Gongsun Chenxing’s face turned pale, and the other people present were equally ashen.

The insect, having bitten Bai Chen, began to rapidly retreat into the insect tomb, showing particular urgency.

However, before it could retreat halfway, its movements suddenly paused.

Its tightly closed mouth seemed to be unwillingly forced open.

A burning smell filled the air, and a flame suddenly spewed from the insect’s mouth.

The insect let out a mournful cry, its body retreating even faster, but the flame suddenly turned and lunged back into the insect’s mouth.

Everyone could clearly see the figure in the flame, which was clearly Bai Chen.

Before they could even celebrate, Bai Chen had directly rushed into the insect’s mouth.

Immediately, the insect began to wildly thrash its body.

It felt as if it had been placed on a steamer.

At that moment, no one thought it was a fierce giant insect; instead, they felt it was somewhat pitiful.

Encountering such a monster, swallowing Bai Chen might have been its biggest mistake.

Everyone felt as if they were in a dream. Mei Jiangxue and the Poison Venerable’s strength far exceeded that of a giant insect.

The Medicine Venerable’s strength was slightly weaker, but even if the three of them combined, it would be difficult to deal with such a giant insect.

After all, the insect’s armor was a headache, not something that could be solved with high-level cultivation.

However, Bai Chen’s strange technique surpassed the insect in strength, and his physical resilience also gave the insect a hard time.

But what was truly terrifying was the raging flames on his body. Swallowing him was a suicidal act.

The insect spewed the flames again, and Bai Chen rolled in the air and landed on the ground. However, the insect looked even more disheveled.

At that moment, the insect no longer showed its previous ferocity, its body rapidly retreating, trying to escape back into the insect tomb.

At that moment, the giant zombie finally moved, shouting to Bai Chen, “Don’t let it escape, or the entire Qingzhou City will be in ruins!”

The giant zombie’s figure moved like a black whirlwind, passing through the crowd and charging at the insect.

Bai Chen also responded, and the two simultaneously reached the insect’s sides, their four hands grabbing the edges of the insect’s head armor.

Roar—

The two monsters exerted their strength simultaneously, letting out earth-shattering roars.

In everyone’s astonished and disbelieving gazes, amidst the insect’s weak struggles, the insect’s massive body was completely pulled out of the insect tomb.
