Chapter 455: Chapter 447: Fang Lian Aspires to Rise to a Higher Position_1

The mysterious elder let out a chilling laugh, causing listeners to feel their insides churn in discomfort.
“Submit or die!”
The elder didn’t answer directly, instead presenting a supremely tyrannical choice.
It was extremely arrogant.
“What if I choose neither?”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader’s composure was exceptionally high, and he didn’t get angry.
He also didn’t rush to attack his opponent but quietly observed the Mysterious Gu Master instead.
“Then I can only send you to meet the Silkworm Ancestor!”
The Silkworm Ancestor, also known as the Goddess of Silkworms, is the common progenitor revered by all Insect Masters and Gu Masters.
Only especially powerful Insect Masters would place the Silkworm Ancestor in the highest position in their hearts. Hence, it’s rare to hear Insect Masters mention the Silkworm Ancestor, let alone discuss her often.
This is because powerful Insect Masters are extremely scarce.
However, it’s different for Gu Masters. It’s rumored that during their blood covenant ceremony, Gu Masters must cut their fingers and offer blood to the Silkworm Ancestor; this is known as establishing a blood covenant.
Some Gu Masters believe it to be the establishment of a blood pact.
The purpose is to receive the Silkworm Ancestor’s protection and guidance, enabling their Gu techniques to reach great success.
Through this language detail from the mysterious elder, it’s essentially certain that he is undoubtedly a Gu Master. For Gu Masters, the Silkworm Ancestor is extremely sacred. They don’t respect the Three Purities, nor do they revere the Jade Emperor; they only venerate the Silkworm Ancestor.
“Heaven Cleaver!”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader no longer wasted words and directly unleashed his most powerful sword technique.
The longsword in his hand struck, its glow as radiant as the blazing sun upon the earth.
The ferocious, violent sword radiance carried the might of total annihilation, savagely slashing everything before it.
“Hmph, you think the mere Sun Pursuing Sword Technique’s Heaven Cleaver can stand against me? It’s nothing but a fool’s errand.”
The Mysterious Gu Master lightly swung his vine staff, pointing forward.
All kinds of insects began to emerge from the air and the ground—moths, poison wasps, stink bugs, longhorn beetles, scarab beetles, centipedes, spiders… virtually every type of insect appeared.
They swarmed together densely, forming a terrifying insect tide.
When the sword radiance struck towards the mysterious elder, the entire swarm fearlessly met the attack.
Insect after insect was dissolved by the sword radiance, not even leaving a corpse behind.
But the initially overwhelming sword radiance rapidly weakened and soon vanished.
The insect tide was still surging, even seeming somewhat more powerful.
An endless number of insects kept appearing, merging into the tide.
It was unimaginable that the full-powered strike from the Black Tiger Gang Leader didn’t even harm the opponent’s skin.
The Gu Master’s power was too strong.
Merely setting up an Insect Formation allowed him to use a massive number of weak insects to confront an Immortal Master’s all-out strike with ease. Such an unpredictable, heaven-reaching ability made Qin Niu’s eyes turn red with envy.
He knew his own affairs best.
The Life-Nurturing Technique and Medicine King Sutra he cultivated were non-combat oriented techniques.
Before the fight had even begun, he was at a disadvantage compared to enemies of the same level.
If he could learn this powerful Insect Formation and integrate it with his own formidable insect pets to set up a formation, he could instantly add a powerful trump card to his arsenal.
As his cultivation level steadily improved and his experience grew, he gradually realized that there were many factors that truly determined one’s combat prowess.
