All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 171 The Divine Power of the Gu Insects! Mystic Light Annihilates the Enemy! (Two-in-One Chapter)

bass!
Suddenly, a ball of fiery red true essence rose around Xiao Kang, and an astonishing heat burst forth from his body, quickly dispelling the chill that had been eroding his muscles.

"This kind of environment allows me to unleash the true power of the Blazing Sun Technique without any worries!"

After all, he was a Grand Martial Master who had undergone three blood transfusions. After a brief moment of astonishment, Xiao Kang quickly regained his composure.

When he cultivates the Blazing Sun Technique and uses it to its fullest extent, the power of the fire poison will generate extreme heat, causing burning pain to any martial artist who touches it. If the fire poison invades the body, it will feel as if the internal organs are being burned.

However, when he uses the Blazing Sun Technique at full power, the Blazing Sun True Essence will also raise his body temperature, which can easily burn his meridians.

Excessive use of the Blazing Sun True Essence could even lead to self-immolation.

Xiao Kang dared not attempt the fourth blood exchange because he feared that fully activating the Blazing Sun True Essence to break through might damage his meridians, leading to failure and death by self-immolation.

However, he was currently in a snowy and icy environment, and the white humanoid creature opposite him could release terrifying cold air, which allowed him to unleash the full power of the Blazing Sun Technique.

Perhaps after this battle, he will find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Whoosh whoosh!
The white humanoid creature released dozens more ice spikes, enveloping Xiao Kang.

boom!
"Come on!" Xiao Kang shouted, advancing instead of retreating. His violent true essence of the blazing sun rose up, causing the air around him to distort slightly due to the high temperature. From a distance, his body looked like a fiery red vortex.

Bang!
The oncoming ice spikes were repeatedly shattered by Xiao Kang's furious barrage of punches.

Seeing the white humanoid creature fighting and retreating, preventing him from getting close, Xiao Kang's eyes narrowed. He realized that the white humanoid creature's weakness was its fear of close combat, so he immediately burst into speed and flew after it.

puff--!
The white humanoid creature flapped its wings frequently, releasing a large amount of cold air.

However, faced with Xiao Kang's raging blood and true essence, this cold air was quickly evaporated, turning into a large amount of water vapor that rose up.

Whoosh!
The white humanoid creature flew straight out of the valley and headed towards the summit of Black Wind Mountain.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Xiao Kang gave chase.

When he reached the mountaintop, he saw a handsome young man in a blue robe standing under a tree, while a white humanoid creature slowly descended and landed on his shoulder.

"Zhou Qing?!" Xiao Kang's expression changed slightly. "So this is something you created? Could it be a Gu worm?"

"Lord Xiao has a good eye." Zhou Qing frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the person to be Xiao Kang, not Mu Renjie.

"So it seems Lord Xiao is determined to collude with Mu Renjie?!"

Xiao Kang said in a deep voice, "The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is bustling, all for gain. You can't be unaware of this, can you? To be honest, I don't want to kill you, but this matter concerns whether I can break through to the next realm, so I have no choice. If you surrender, I can let you die a little easier."

"Who will die is hard to say!" Zhou Qing suddenly laughed, and the Ice Fiend Gu on his shoulder was put into his Yuanqiao.

"How dare you!" Xiao Kang's face darkened when he saw Zhou Qing, who was usually meek and obedient in front of him, acting so arrogantly. Without saying a word, he rapidly compressed his true essence in both palms, releasing a crimson beam of true essence that slammed straight into Zhou Qing's face.

boom!
Zhou Qing's body was pierced by the pillar of true energy, and the tree and boulder behind him also exploded under the impact. The terrifying high temperature ignited the tree trunks and burned the boulder red-hot.

However, Zhou Qing's figure slowly disappeared; it turned out that what had been hit was just his afterimage.

Swish!
At this moment, Zhou Qing suddenly appeared behind Xiao Kang, and her jade-like hand silently reached towards Xiao Kang's back.

Xiao Kang turned around abruptly and saw that Zhou Qing's appearance had changed drastically. His skin was stained with an eerie white color, becoming crystal clear, and his hair and eyebrows had turned dark blue. A pair of wings as thin as cicada wings had grown from his back, and he descended from the sky.

"This is..." Xiao Kang's pupils constricted. Gu worms that can possess people are generally the most troublesome type.

He didn't have time to think further and immediately threw a punch.

Bang!
Fist and palm collided, a muffled thud resounded in the air, and a tremendous force struck, causing the ground beneath Xiao Kang's feet to crack inch by inch, his legs sinking deep into the snow.

An extremely cold force surged from Zhou Qing's palm into Xiao Kang's true essence.

"Not good!" Xiao Kang's expression changed drastically, and his extremely hot Blazing Sun True Essence showed signs of being frozen.

In the ensuing clash, Xiao Kang was horrified to discover that he was at a disadvantage in both strength and the power of his true essence.

Click
In just a few breaths, a layer of white frost formed on Xiao Kang's hair and between his eyebrows, and his entire face turned bluish-purple.

Just moments ago, when he was fighting the Ice Fiend Gu, he was able to hold his own, but now that the Ice Fiend Gu has merged into Zhou Qing's body, he has been completely outmatched.

Judging from Zhou Qing's composed demeanor, he clearly hadn't used his full strength yet.

"A second-tier ice-attribute Gu worm! And one that provides all-around enhancement in combat! It's at least a mid-grade second-tier Gu worm!" Xiao Kang was shocked.

He originally thought that the Ice Fiend Gu was not good at close combat, but now that the Ice Fiend Gu had merged into Zhou Qing's body, it had such a terrifying power boost. Even the second-level Gu Master of the Five Streams Barbarian Clan would never have such a bizarre Gu worm with such comprehensive abilities.

As a Grand Martial Master who had undergone three blood transfusions, his every move exuded strength exceeding 100,000 jin, yet Zhou Qing, a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, easily suppressed him.

After just one glance, Xiao Kang already felt the urge to retreat.

boom!
Xiao Kang unleashed his full power of blood and true essence, attempting to repel Zhou Qing. However, an even more powerful force, accompanied by extremely cold icy energy, erupted, and Xiao Kang was directly slammed into the snow by Zhou Qing's palm, creating a large crater in the ground.

"Pfft!" Suffering such a heavy blow, the thin veil of blood and qi on Xiao Kang's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Strangely, there were some tiny ice particles in the blood and qi he spat out.

"Run!" Xiao Kang felt a freezing pain in his internal organs. Even if he held his breath, the icy cold air would still penetrate his skin and enter his body. The protective qi and blood veil and the blazing sun true essence were completely ineffective. At this moment, Xiao Kang had no intention of continuing to fight.

He had expected fire to counter wood, but Zhou Qing unexpectedly countered fire with ice.

His extremely pure and potent blazing sun true essence was surprisingly powerless against this strange ice-evil worm.

Xiao Kang flashed down from the mountaintop in a series of movements.

Swish!
Zhou Qing, like a white ghost, suddenly blocked Xiao Kang's path.

Flight is clearly the faster option.

In particular, Xiao Kang himself was not good at movement techniques.

boom!
"Zhou Qing! Don't push your luck!" Xiao Kang roared angrily, though his voice was fierce, after being forced back by Zhou Qing's palm strike.

"If you surrender, I can let you die a little easier," Zhou Qing said calmly.

"I am a military officer of the Demon Suppression Division! How dare you kill me?!" Xiao Kang roared in fury.

Zhou Qing ignored him and flew into the sky. With the flapping of his wings, he created tangible wisps of cold air around him.

Snowflakes falling from the sky freeze quickly under the influence of the cold air, gathering into sharp ice flowers.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qing's body began to swirl in mid-air, and the tangible icy chill also began to rotate at high speed.

boom!
Finally, it transformed into a tornado over ten meters tall, its icy blue light illuminating the night, carrying terrifying chill and ice crystals as it descended from the sky! "You forced me to do this!"

Xiao Kang took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a fiery red pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it. His skin turned bright red at a visible speed, and the chill in his body was instantly dispelled.

bass!
A surge of violent true energy erupted from Xiao Kang's body. The thin veil of qi and blood on his body, which had been dimmed, quickly solidified. His qi and blood were boiling intensely, constantly gushing out from his skin and pores, and finally turning into blood-red smoke that shot into the sky, showing signs of gathering into a cloud of smoke.

Under the threat of death, Xiao Kang took a pill to stimulate his potential, and stepped into the realm of Qi and Blood Smoke.

"Ah!" The violent true energy not only dispelled the cold, but also made Xiao Kang feel a terrifying heat throughout his body. He felt as if he was about to be ignited. His meridians and internal organs were damaged by this power, and he had no chance of breaking through again.

At this moment, Xiao Kang's eyes were bloodshot and blazing with fury. Only by devouring Zhou Qing alive could he vent his hatred.

A tornado formed from the icy chill descended from the sky, but Xiao Kang suddenly burst into flames. His clothes were engulfed in flames, and he was enveloped in fire and blazing sun true essence, transforming into a giant fireball that shot into the sky and punched into the eye of the tornado.

boom--!
A dazzling red light flashed continuously within the tornado, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the tornado exploded.

boom!
A human-shaped ice sculpture crashed heavily into the snow. Xiao Kang's body turned black, and he suffered severe burns all over his body. He was frozen by the icy coldness and completely lost the ability to resist.

Whoosh!
Zhou Qing descended from the sky and landed beside the ice sculpture. His snow-white skin faded and returned to its flesh color, and his body emitted bursts of heat.

The Ice Demon Gu reappeared on his shoulder.

You have acquired a new Gu worm – the Ice Fiend Gu (Double-Winged Ice Fiend Gu)

[Rank: Mid-grade Tier 2 (Can be evolved and combined)]

[Progress: Mature Stage (35/800)]

[Ice Fiend Gu: Forged from a mutated Ice Silkworm Gu that absorbed the Yuan Soul Golden Liquid and a Supreme Wood Spirit Corpse, it unleashes the Xuanbing power contained within the Ice Soul Xuan Spider bloodline. Extremely fast and agile, it possesses the ability to fly, and its power is greatly amplified in icy environments. Absorbing the shared power of ice, water, and wood further strengthens the ice attribute power within the Ice Fiend Gu.]

【Effects: Icy Soul Light, Icy Body】

【Ice Soul Mystic Light: One of the innate divine abilities of the Ice Soul Mystic Spider bloodline descendants, releasing an extremely yin and cold Ice Soul Mystic Light. Once in contact with the light, the body's moisture will rapidly drain and freeze, and one can only consume blood and true qi to resist the cold. It is effective against fire-attribute Gu worms, cultivation techniques, and divine weapons.】

[Mystic Ice Body: The ice attribute power of the Ice Fiend Gu originates from the Ice Soul Mystic Spider, formed by the combination of water and wood attributes. When you fuse with the Ice Fiend Gu, you can comprehensively strengthen your physical body and true essence, achieving the effects of refining skin and flesh, and strengthening tendons and bones, subtly improving your innate constitution. Cultivating ice, water, and wood attribute techniques and martial arts can achieve effects similar to superior innate constitution.]

"Ice Soul Mystic Light! Mystic Ice Body!"

Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened.

No wonder he felt it was so easy to deal with Xiao Kang; a mid-grade second-tier Ice Fiend Gu is equivalent to a martial artist's Qi and Blood Smoke Realm.

Since it was just created, the power level of the Ice Fiend Gu is roughly equivalent to four blood transfusions.

However, with the powerful bloodline strength brought by the Ice Soul Spider bloodline, the Ice Soul Cold Qi evolved into the Ice Soul Mystic Light, and its actual combat power exceeded that of four blood transfusions.

Especially after the Ice Fiend Gu merged with Zhou Qing, and he used martial arts with the help of the Mysterious Ice Body, Zhou Qing felt that he had been strengthened in all aspects, much stronger than the Wood Spirit Corpse.

Moreover, the Xuanbing Body actually allowed him to obtain effects comparable to super-grade root bones. Although it was only the effect during the fusion, it could still greatly increase his cultivation speed.

Sure enough, once you reach a certain level, refining Gu becomes more cost-effective.

However, the consumption of using the Ice Fiend Gu was much greater than Zhou Qing had anticipated.

In such a short time, his true essence was reduced to less than a third.

If the power of the Ice Fiend Gu is truly unleashed, one must either advance to the second-tier Gu Master level and condense a second Yuan Aperture, or break through the Blood Exchange Realm, expand the Dantian, and obtain more True Essence.

It seems that with the support of the Xuanbing Body's superior innate talent, breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm is actually just around the corner.

"hiss!"

At this moment, a giant centipede, over six feet long, scrambled down the mountain and came to Zhou Qing's side; it was none other than Chi Yan.

Chi Yan raised its upper body and hissed at Zhou Qing.

"You want Xiao Kang's true essence?" Zhou Qing was taken aback, not expecting that Chi Yan would show such a strong desire for the true essence in Xiao Kang's body.

"hiss--!"

"Hasn't your power already transformed into the ultimate Yin? Is there a saying that Yin gives rise to Yang?" Zhou Qing asked thoughtfully.

"Since that's the case, you can have it!"

Zhou Qing placed his hand on the solid ice that had frozen Xiao Kang.

Click, click, click!
The ice shattered rapidly, revealing Xiao Kang's severely burned body.

Zhou Qing searched Xiao Kang's body and found only a leather pouch. However, apart from some silver notes and clothes, there was nothing of particular value inside, indicating that Xiao Kang did not carry any important items with him.

After confirming that there were no other valuables, Zhou Qing allowed Chi Yan to swallow Xiao Kang's body whole.

In a short while, the Crimson Flame's jet-black carapace quickly turned red, and a scorching aura emanated from its body. It coiled up and remained motionless in the snow.

"Is it about to evolve?!"

Zhou Qing was taken aback and put the Crimson Flame into his storage space.

"Pfft!"

Erqing, who was following behind, was very envious.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to help you take it a step further!" Zhou Qing reassured him.

"Wow!"

The tiger eagle that had been circling in the sky fell straight down.

Zhou Qing was often able to spot the enemy immediately thanks to Tiger Eagle.

"No!" Zhou Qing stroked the tiger eagle's feathers and suddenly realized.

Since it was Xiao Kang who attacked him this time, Mu Renjie, who is even stronger, might not be idle. Could it be...?
Zhou Qing flew down the mountain and returned to Baiyun Martial Arts School.

Not only was Wei Hongyu absent, but Wei Mingcheng and Wan Jiang were also not there.

"Where did they go?" Zhou Qing's mind raced, and he left the martial arts school again.
