All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 137 This is the battle of Gu Masters!

Mu Yuan walked along the foothills towards the summit of Black Wind Mountain.

bass!
Halfway there, a strangely shaped scimitar, resembling a crescent moon, suddenly flew out from Mu Yuan's arms.

Under the bright moonlight, a scarlet blade of light shot into the sky.

"Wow!"

The tiger-eagle in mid-air was startled by the sudden flash of the blade and quickly turned around to dodge the tricky attack.

Whoosh!
The curved blade missed its target and spun rapidly in mid-air, tracing a semi-circle before returning to Mu Yuan's hand.

"Damn hairy beast!"

Mu Yuan watched the tiger-eagle soar higher and higher, and curled his lip. Every time he went to Black Wind Mountain, he would encounter this white-headed eagle.

At first, he thought it was a hunting falcon kept by some martial artist, but later he found that even though he was being followed by the bald eagle, no other martial artists came.

More than a year has passed, and Mu Yuan still regards the white-headed eagle as a strange species from Black Wind Mountain and considers it an enemy, so he will test it every time.

Seeing the white-headed eagle soar into the clouds, Mu Yuan sheathed his Heavenly Centipede Blade and headed towards the mountaintop.

What he didn't know was that after the tiger eagle flew into the clouds, it circled around Black Wind Mountain at high speed.

By the time Mu Yuan appeared on the mountaintop, Tiger Eagle had already scouted the area.

Mu Yuan, upon discovering traces left by numerous poisonous insects on the mountaintop, deduced that Lin Tianzheng might have recently appeared in Black Wind Mountain, or even just recently.

Throughout the year, Mu Yuan would randomly select some free time each month to suddenly arrive at Black Wind Mountain.

On one hand, he was monitoring Wei Mingcheng's movements at Baiyun Martial Arts School.

During that year, he tried to contact Wan Jiang, but the man was unyielding and had no intention of cooperating with him to seize Wei Mingcheng's divine weapon.

On one occasion, he almost fell into a trap and was ambushed by Wei Mingcheng on his way.

After that, Mu Yuan's main target was Lin Tianzheng, who might be hiding in Black Wind Mountain.

Now, Lin Tianzheng is wanted by the imperial court and hunted down by the Witch God Cult. Although the Southern Frontier is vast, there is nowhere for him to hide.

The only most likely place to hide is Black Wind Mountain.

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place.

In the depths of other nearby mountain ranges, there are powerful protectors of the Witch God Cult, but Black Wind Mountain is the only one without them.

On the one hand, there was a shortage of manpower, and on the other hand, it was a 'flaw' deliberately left by Mu Yuan and Mu Renjie.

Lin Tianzheng possesses the Corpse Worm Gu King, which has a great need for blood and poisonous insects. Every full moon night, the Corpse Worm Gu King must be released to absorb the power of the moonlight.

The only place nearby that can provide shelter and meets both of these requirements is Black Wind Mountain.

For the past six months, Mu Yuan has been thinking about capturing Lin Tianzheng alive and avenging his previous humiliation.

"Damn it!"

Mu Yuan circled around Black Wind Mountain, but still found nothing.

When he arrived at the peach grove where the valley was located, he suddenly discovered a pink butterfly the size of a washbasin perched on a huge peach tree at the entrance of the valley.

"Um?!"

Sensing the unique aura emanating from the pink butterfly in front of him, Mu Yuan's gaze sharpened.

"Gu worm!"

Mu Yuan's face lit up with joy. The presence of Gu worms here meant that Lin Tianzheng was most likely hiding in the mountains.

hum!
Sensing Mu Yuan's excitement, the Heavenly Centipede Blade in his hand trembled violently, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

Swish! !

Mu Yuan slashed repeatedly with his Heavenly Centipede Blade, and two crescent-shaped scarlet blade lights, each over a foot long, shot out one after the other.

boom--!
The trunk of the giant peach tree at the entrance of the valley was struck in the same spot by two sword beams, one after the other. Even the peach tree, as hard as iron, could not withstand such powerful sword beams and finally broke in half and collapsed with a crash.

"Pfft!"

Erqing was furious. It flapped its wings and flew into the sky. As its wings flapped, pink smoke spread out.

Mu Yuan sneered, not taking the smoke seriously, but he wasn't arrogant enough to directly enter the smoke's range.

Swish swish!
Mu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Centipede Blade, and three scarlet blade lights flew into the pink smoke in a '品' shape, then exploded.

The miasma that had originally spread towards Mu Yuan was thus dispersed in other directions.

"Puff puff!" Erqing was not giving up. It flew to the top of Mu Yuan's head, and with its wings flapping rapidly, peach blossom miasma kept emerging.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Mu Yuan was quite disdainful. He swung the Heavenly Centipede Blade continuously, and countless tiny blade energies shot out. Compared to the original crescent-shaped blade light that was more than a foot long, these tiny blade energies were only three inches long, but their number was dozens of times greater.

The fine, fragmented blade energy rose into the sky like an impenetrable net, shattering the spreading peach blossom miasma.

"puff!"

Upon seeing this, Erqing immediately flew upwards, spitting out silk threads that lashed out like whips in mid-air, shattering the sword energy in front of him.

However, the once incredibly strong silk threads proved extremely fragile when faced with the fine, fragmented blade energy.

It only managed to shatter the first few blade energies; when faced with subsequent blade energies, the threads broke inch by inch.

"Little tricks!"

Seeing Erqing fleeing in disarray, Mu Yuan once again swung the Heavenly Centipede Blade, preparing to press his advantage.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Mu Yuan heard a buzzing sound in his ears, a sound that was clearly not the sound of the sword energy he emitted with the Heavenly Centipede Blade.

"what?!"

Mu Yuan looked around and suddenly realized that, without him noticing, countless pale golden beetles the size of a thumb had appeared around him. These beetles shimmered with a metallic luster in the moonlight, and their sharp mouthparts and pincers gleamed with a cold light.

"This is."

Mu Yuan's eyes widened; at first glance, there seemed to be over a thousand of these pale golden beetles.

Just being stared at by these pale golden beetles sent chills down his spine and a cold feeling rose in his heart.

However, these pale golden beetles didn't give him much time to think. "Hiss—!!"

After the two fist-sized golden beetles hissed, hundreds and thousands of beetles swarmed forward and attacked Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he swung the Heavenly Centipede Blade in his hand, releasing a large amount of blade energy.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Sounds like clashing swords rang out continuously.

"Damn it!" Mu Yuan's face instantly darkened. He saw that these pale golden beetles were actually able to withstand the sword energy he released with their carapaces.

Although a considerable number of the pale gold beetles had their defenses breached by the sword energy, their vitality was truly astonishing.

Many pale golden beetles had their carapaces cut in half by the blade's energy, and green blood flowed out, yet they remained unharmed and continued to launch attacks.

Some pale golden beetles with their wings severed even crawled rapidly on the ground, attacking him.

Given the beetles' formidable defensive capabilities, Mu Yuan dared not imagine what the consequences would be if these beetles were allowed to get close.

"Lin Tianzheng! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me!"

While wielding the Heavenly Centipede Blade to drive away the Golden Silkworm Gu worms, Mu Yuan shouted sharply, trying to find Lin Tianzheng, who was controlling the Golden Silkworm Gu worms from behind.

"Since you don't dare to show up, then I won't keep you company!"

Seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu worms attacking him fearlessly, Mu Yuan understood Lin Tianzheng's purpose: to use the Gu worms to deplete his true energy.

Clearly, Lin Tianzheng had been seriously injured and had not yet recovered, so he dared not show himself directly.

Buzz! !
The Heavenly Centipede Blade in Mu Yuan's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the Heavenly Centipede Blade into the sky, and the Heavenly Centipede Blade instantly transformed into a scarlet full moon, circling around him.

Each rotation of the Heavenly Centipede Blade releases a scarlet blade aura.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The sword energy swept around him, and wherever it passed, the golden silkworm worms fell like raindrops, all of them being cut in half by the sword energy and killed on the spot.

In a short time, more than two hundred golden silkworm worms died under the sword energy.

"He's truly remarkable!" Zhou Qing, hidden in the shadows, sighed inwardly upon seeing that Mu Yuan had such a hidden trump card.

The power of the centipede blade exceeded his expectations that day.

It rightfully belongs to him!
"hiss--!!!"

At this moment, the two mutated golden silkworm worms, under Zhou Qing's control, changed their tactics.

The golden silkworm worms that had been fearlessly attacking Mu Yuan all retreated.

Since Mu Yuan's Heavenly Centipede Blade could only release blade energy within a radius of one zhang around him, the blade energy could no longer harm the Golden Silkworm Gu worm as it retreated.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Yuan's heart sank.

At this point, he had already decided to back out.

Mu Yuan controlled the Heavenly Centipede Blade to protect himself and ran towards the outer perimeter without hesitation.

Seeing Mu Yuan climb out of the peach blossom forest and enter the man-made tunnel, the golden silkworm worms swarmed after him.

A moment later, Mu Yuan rushed out of the artificial tunnel, and was greeted by a pink miasma with a sweet smell.

Although the miasma was dispersed by the sword energy, and Mu Yuan immediately focused his mind and held his breath, some of the pink miasma still landed on him and eventually seeped into his body.

Mu Yuan ran down the mountain without hesitation.

"Um?!"

However, before he had run far, the Heavenly Centipede Blade, which was protecting him and releasing its blade energy, suddenly trembled, and its scarlet blade light dimmed considerably.

Mu Yuan discovered that the high-speed circulating true energy within his body was becoming sluggish and stagnant, which affected the power of the Heavenly Centipede Blade.

"How...how could this happen?!"

Mu Yuan examined his dantian and discovered that a strange pale pink color was mixed in with the scarlet true qi in his body. As the true qi circulated, this pale pink color not only tainted the true qi in his dantian, but also tainted the meridians through which the true qi passed.

"A filthy poison?!"

Mu Yuan's expression changed drastically. As the commander of the Heavenly Centipede Blade, he was most familiar with the filth and poison.

Ma Wenchun was severely injured by his Heavenly Centipede Blade, and his blood and qi were contaminated by the Heavenly Centipede Poison hidden inside, which is why he was bedridden and died in depression.

However, the Heavenly Centipede's poison can only pollute the blood and qi, but the pink miasma he inhaled could even pollute his true qi.

Although the speed and intensity of the contamination were not yet sufficient, he was currently surrounded by a large number of Gu worms. If the battle continued, the degree of contamination of his true energy would rapidly increase, which was a consequence he could not afford.

"what!!"

Mu Yuan roared in anger.

However, the Golden Silkworm Gu worms gave him no chance to breathe. Under the command of two mutated Golden Silkworm Gu worms, hundreds of Golden Silkworm Gu worms swarmed down on Mu Yuan.

"Ah!!" Mu Yuan felt extremely frustrated.

He hadn't even seen Lin Tianzheng before he was at a disadvantage.

"Lin! Tian! Zheng! I will tear you to pieces!!" Mu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth.

He reached into his robes and took out a long, cylindrical object that resembled a tinderbox.

Whoosh!
Mu Yuan pulled the fuse, and a signal flare shot into the sky from the dense, lush forest.

However, just as the signal flare reached the treetop twenty meters high and was about to soar into the sky, a giant black beetle appeared in the moonlight, opened its mandibles, and swallowed the signal flare whole.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, the black beetle shuddered violently, and a loud booming sound came from its body. It crashed heavily to the ground from the sky, instantly creating a crater with a diameter of more than three meters.

"what?!"

Mu Yuan was greatly alarmed.

"The Corpse Worm King?!"

He recognized the giant beetle in front of him at a glance as the Corpse Worm Gu King.

If the Corpse Worm Gu King had just appeared, he would not have been afraid at all. But now, he had consumed a lot of his true energy due to the Golden Silkworm Gu Worm and had also been poisoned by the filth. His true energy circulation was sluggish and stagnant. If he were to get into a war of attrition, he might be in danger of losing his life.
