After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 938 Hunting the Hell Worm, the Power of the Five Samadhi True Fire!

It was already July 26th, and a waning moon hung in the sky, casting a faint, hazy light.

The mountains are dark, and after autumn arrives, the insects become even more frantic, chirping desperately as they seize the last moments to find mates.

Whether it was sensing the aura of the hellish insects or not, the insects in the forest immediately fell silent wherever the two passed, with only the occasional cry of an unknown crow or sparrow in the distance, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Gao Kanlin.

Chen Yang stopped on a flat piece of land.

"what happened?"

Ke Shaohua asked in confusion.

Before Chen Yang could answer, a rustling sound came from behind, and an old man with a pointed head emerged from the nearby woods and blocked Ke Shaohua's path.

"Om..."

Immediately, the eight-winged centipede also appeared, coiling itself on a large tree nearby, watching Ke Shaohua, who was surrounded in the middle, warily.

Before returning, Chen Yang had already contacted the eight-winged centipede and instructed it to prepare with Du Fengchun.

"What does it mean?"

Ke Shaohua clearly realized that the situation was not good, but he did not panic at all. He just looked at Chen Yang calmly.

"How long will you continue to pretend?"

With no one around, Chen Yang had no more scruples and looked at the person in front of him with icy eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua's eyes narrowed slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Chen Yang calmly looked at Ke Shaohua and slowly said, "The Hell Worm is an ancient and strange worm from the Western Regions. It was first discovered in the ancient glaciers of Kunlun. It is called [Dimaibanigansen], which means evil from hell, hence the name Hell Worm. This worm can parasitize the human body, seize a person's consciousness, and turn the person into a puppet..."

"What? A hellworm?"

Before Ke Shaohua could react, Du Fengchun, who was behind him, exclaimed in surprise.

He had only received a notification from Chen Yang, who told him and the Eight-Winged Centipede to come here and wait, but hadn't explained why. Upon hearing the name of the Hell Worm, he couldn't help but change his expression and exclaim in surprise.

Having lived in Kunlun for many years, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of the fearsome reputation of this ferocious insect. He had some understanding of just how terrifying this insect was.

Legend has it that the greatest ability of this insect is to possess a host. It can devour the consciousness and memories of the host, turning the host into a puppet that exists in the form of the host.

Judging from Chen Yang's words, the tall young man carrying a greatsword in front of him was being parasitized by the Hell Worm.
How can this be?

The Hell Worm was extinct for over a hundred years, so how did it appear here?

Ignoring Du Fengchun's astonishment, Ke Shaohua calmly looked at Chen Yang and asked, "What do you want? To kill me?"

"Come out of his body."

Chen Yang's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable threat. The fact that the other party could say such a thing clearly indicated that he had acknowledged his identity.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaohua gently shook his head, as if he had heard a very funny joke. "I came here to find you with no ill intentions. I have only one purpose: give me the Fire Cloud Pearl, and I will leave immediately..."

"Fire Cloud Pearl?"

Chen Yang was taken aback. He had come to find him for the Fire Cloud Pearl?

The Fiery Cloud Pearl inside Huang Can's body?
Chen Yang frowned.

The bead was implanted in Huang Can's body by Xie Xiaofeng.

Some time ago, Xie Xiaofeng wanted to recruit Huang Can into the Northern Emperor Sect, but Huang Can refused. Xie Xiaofeng saw that the Fire Silkworm in Huang Can's body was showing signs of a breakthrough and was afraid that Huang Can would be injured by the Fire Silkworm and waste his talent. So he secretly gave the Fire Cloud Pearl to Huang Can.

So, the purpose of this hell worm was actually for this bead?

The Fire Cloud Pearl is a treasure of the Northern Emperor Sect. It is said to contain a large amount of fire-attribute energy. Could it be that this pearl has some special use against the Hell Worm?

Ke Shaohua said, "You don't need to put on such a show to scare me. Although this body is weak now and I haven't entered the Dao True Realm, it's not difficult for me to unleash the strength of the Dao True Realm with my cultivation. With just a few of you, you can't handle me. Hand over the Fire Cloud Pearl, and we'll all be better off..."

"Noisy!"

Chen Yang interrupted him, took out his Mountain-Driving Whip, and without saying a word, lashed out with it.

"Bah!"

A sudden arc of lightning struck down.

"Humph!"

Ke Shaohua did not dodge, but turned slightly, and the arc of light struck the peach wood sword on his back.

The peach wood sword flashed with light, and arcs of light scattered everywhere, quickly absorbing all the arcs of light.

The peach wood Seven Star Sword was originally a lightning weapon, and it could completely negate most of the damage from the lightning strike of the Mountain Chasing Whip.

A small portion of the thunderous power poured into Ke Shaohua's body, but it was no longer able to harm him.

After all, Ke Shaohua had also practiced thunder magic.

Although this body has been possessed, the Hell Worm has devoured Ke Shaohua's memories; in essence, it's just that the main consciousness has changed.

After possessing the body, the insect naturally became proficient in thunder magic.

"That's it?"

Ke Shaohua looked at Chen Yang calmly, "If that's all you've got, I advise you to give up..."

"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the eight-winged centipede unleashed its sword intent, causing spatial fluctuations within a radius of over thirty meters, transforming into a sword domain. The withered leaves in the forest swirled up, turning into an endless rain of swords that swiftly slashed towards Ke Shaohua.

"Sword Domain?"

Ke Shaohua was slightly surprised, but his aura suddenly burst forth, and the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword appeared in his hand. The energy of lightning punishment surged and he suddenly slashed the sword into the air.

"boom!"

A sword light, accompanied by terrifying lightning, soared into the sky, instantly cleaving through the rain of withered leaves with the force of splitting mountains and seas.

The withered leaves, struck by lightning, burst into flames and rained down.

"what?"

The eight-winged centipede was somewhat surprised. Although its sword domain was only in its initial stage and had not yet solidified, the move it just made was definitely not something that an ordinary early-stage Dao Realm cultivator could easily neutralize.

It knew Ke Shaohua, and it knew very well how powerful he was. The same body, just with a different core, could be so strong.

Ke Shaohua glanced at the eight-winged centipede, "We are both insects, yet you possess such profound strength, and are still willing to be driven by others. You have truly disgraced our insect race..."

"Who's like you?"

The eight-winged centipede scoffed, "Do you think I need your nagging to do what I'm doing? It's none of your business..."

"presumptuous!"

Ke Shaohua's face darkened, and he was about to strike down with his greatsword.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a strong gust of wind swept in.

It paused slightly, its reaction noticeably delayed, and a red rope flew over, like a small snake, quickly wrapping around its body.

In the blink of an eye, Ke Shaohua was bound like a rice dumpling.

It was the red string left behind by Shan Jun Tan Jue.

This rope has a great binding power over these spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, and spiritual insects.

It not only restricts the movement of the physical body, but also locks the primordial spirit. Once bound, it is almost a pipe dream to try to escape with one's own cultivation.

Ke Shaohua paused for a moment, then began to struggle, but to no avail. The more he struggled, the tighter the rope tightened.

It quickly mobilized the lightning energy within its body, and the rope crackled with electric arcs, yet it still bound it tightly.

"Ha, I thought you were all that capable, but all you've got is your mouth. You're good at nothing but talking."

The eight-winged centipede chuckled and then withdrew its sword domain.

"Hmph, treacherous villain."

Ke Shaohua snorted coldly and glared in Chen Yang's direction.

If it were a fair fight, he wouldn't think he would be afraid of these two men and one insect, but Chen Yang had to resort to sneak attacks, which was simply unethical.

"How dare a worm that possesses another's body call me insidious?"

Chen Yang said coldly, then approached it and slapped it in the chest.

"boom!"

Ke Shaohua was immediately sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Chen Yang looked down at it and said, "Now, get out of his body. Don't force me to do it myself!"

As he spoke, he had already used his primordial spirit to search the area, but he was unable to find the hiding place of the so-called hell worm inside Ke Shaohua's body.

"hehe."

Ke Shaohua laughed, "Kid, I'm not coming out. Go ahead and kill me if you dare..."

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

Chen Yang's expression was cold and stern. If he hadn't been reluctant to damage Ke Shaohua's body and hadn't been speaking so politely to it, he would have already attacked it directly.

"You dare? Haha, you've destroyed his body, but I can just find someone else to live in. Your body seems pretty good..."

"court death!"

"Come on, destroy his physical body and drag me out. Youngster, I'm not afraid to tell you, this kid isn't dead yet. If you destroy his physical body now, he'll really be dead."

"what?"

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback.

Ke Shaohua is still alive? He subconsciously pulled up the system panel to check Ke Shaohua's information.

……

Name: Ke Shaohua.

Physical strength: 22250.

Mental power: 24588/26028.

Divine thought: 19364.

……

Sure enough, the system could also detect Ke Shaohua's information.

If Ke Shaohua were dead, the information displayed by the system at this moment would not be that of Ke Shaohua, the owner of this body.

In other words, at least Ke Shaohua's consciousness should still be present in this body.

At this moment, Ke Shaohua spoke up, "It's also my fault for being careless. When I was seizing his body, this peach wood sword protected me and drew upon the power of heavenly punishment, which injured me and prevented me from devouring his consciousness immediately. He managed to hide. However, it doesn't matter. This body is mine now. As long as I don't come out, he won't have the ability to regain control of this body. I'll find him sooner or later and completely devour him..."

When this hellworm said this, it was completely fearless.

Although it failed to devour Ke Shaohua's consciousness, it naturally acquired Ke Shaohua's memories after possessing him.

Therefore, it knows Chen Yang, understands Chen Yang, and knows that Chen Yang would definitely not destroy Ke Shaohua's physical body knowing that Ke Shaohua is still alive.

"He might still be hiding in some corner of my mind, watching you, Chen Yang. Do you dare to make a move?"

Ke Shaohua calmly looked at Chen Yang, as if he were using a corpse to enhance his own prestige.

“Master, don’t listen to its nonsense. This thing is an ancient ferocious insect. If we don’t kill it, there will be endless trouble in the future,” Du Fengchun said from the side.

Just hearing the name of the Hell Worm made him hesitant to approach.

What if this insect suddenly appears and tries to possess me? Given its fearsome reputation, can I withstand it?

He would rather be Chen Yang's slave than be this insect's puppet.

"Hehe, Master?"

Ke Shaohua glanced at Du Fengchun with surprise, then looked at Chen Yang. "The aura of the Life and Death Curse Mark, kid, you're not simple..."

This insect was actually able to sense the aura of the Life and Death Curse Seal from Du Fengchun.
However, this is not important.

"I'll give you one more chance, but don't force me to take action," Chen Yang coldly shouted.

Ke Shaohua chuckled, "How about we make a deal? You give me the Fire Cloud Pearl, let me leave, and I promise to find a new body after leaving this person's body..."

"Stubborn!"

Chen Yang was too lazy to waste any more words with it, so he took out the Medicine King Divine Needle and quickly applied it to Ke Shaohua's body, sealing off his main acupoints.

No matter where the insect is hiding, block its path so it can't run around.

"Ha, what's the point of you doing this?"

Despite feeling his acupoints sealed, Ke Shaohua remained unmoved. He was now fearless, certain that Chen Yang would not harm Ke Shaohua's physical body. As long as it remained inside Ke Shaohua's body, it was equivalent to having an indestructible body.

But its arrogance vanished quickly when Chen Yang took out something.

Chen Yang held a pill in his hand.

……

Item: Premium Camphor Balls

"Description: It can continuously release a unique fragrance and has a great killing effect on snakes, insects and rodents below SS level."

……

Chen Yang had used this pill several times, and now only one pill the size of a marble remained.

This thing is extremely lethal to insects below SS level.

The Hell Worm inside Ke Shaohua's body is already classified as an SS-level entity according to the system.

This mothball may not necessarily kill it, but it will certainly make it uncomfortable.

"what?"

Sure enough, when Chen Yang took out the mothballs, Ke Shaohua's expression changed visibly, as if Chen Yang was holding a lump of poop and approaching him.

"Of course it's a good thing."

Chen Yang held the mothball close to Ke Shaohua's nose.

"take away."

Ke Shaohua turned his head away and dodged, coldly shouting, "You think you can force me out with this? You're dreaming."

"Is it?"

Chen Yang directly poured his true essence into the camphor ball, activating it. A scent was released from the camphor ball, and as if guided, it formed a visible white smoke that rushed straight into Ke Shaohua's nose.

He didn't expect that this mothball could force it out, but at least it should be able to help him find where it was hiding inside Ke Shaohua's body.

"Bastard!"

Sure enough, the smell of camphor balls entered Ke Shaohua's body, and Ke Shaohua's eyes immediately rolled back and his whole body trembled. Obviously, the smell made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but curse.

At that moment, Chen Yang, who had been monitoring Ke Shaohua's condition with his primordial spirit, immediately made a discovery.

A red line of blood was attached to Ke Shaohua's spine, extending from the tailbone all the way into his head.

If it hadn't moved, Chen Yang would never have noticed and would have simply assumed it was a tendon or spinal cord inside Ke Shaohua's body.

That's a really good disguise.

"Got you."

Chen Yang snorted, turned Ke Shaohua over, took out several silver needles, and quickly inserted them.

"Shhhhh!"

Three needles were inserted almost simultaneously, piercing the spine in quick succession.

From beginning to end, it's all nailed down.

"what!"

The red worm was so dizzy from the smell of the camphor balls that it hadn't even had time to regain its senses before its body was pinned down by three silver needles.

What kind of silver needles are these? How could they possibly break through my Dao True Realm skin defenses?

Red Worm immediately panicked and shouted, "Kid, aren't you afraid that I'll perish with him?"

"You can try!"

Chen Yang completely ignored him. If you want to perish together with everyone else, then so be it. Anyway, I won't be the one who dies; you're definitely going to die.

Do you think I can be threatened by a mere insect like you?
At that moment, Chen Yang activated the Five Flame True Fire Technique, reached out and touched the silver needle on his head. The true fire penetrated through the silver needle, reaching directly into the insect's body and burning directly inside.

"what……"

His mental state fluctuated abnormally, and Red Worm let out a scream, "Five Flames True Fire? Kid, stop right now!"

Ke Shaohua's body also showed an extremely painful expression. He struggled desperately, but being bound by the red rope, it was all in vain.

"Huh, this insect is actually afraid of fire?" Du Fengchun was somewhat surprised.

This legendary insect, infamous for its ferocity, is surprisingly subdued by the Five Flames True Fire.

"Nonsense, aren't you afraid of fire?" the eight-winged centipede sneered.

Upon hearing this, Du Fengchun's face twitched.

That makes sense. All flesh and blood are afraid of fire, so it's normal for insects to be afraid of fire too.

But in reality, only Chen Yang knew this.

This insect has a powerful body and is not afraid of ordinary fire or lightning; only true fire and lightning can harm it.

All of this information comes from the illustrations provided by the system.

"Can't get out?"

Chen Yang activated his true fire, burning it inside the red worm's body. This was a delicate task; one wrong move and he might injure Ke Shaohua's physical body.

"Stop it, I'll come out."

The red worm responded quickly, but it had lost its previous arrogance and imposing manner.

Chen Yang stopped what he was doing.

Since the fire was being used inside Ke Shaohua's body, he had to control the amount of fire. However, this amount of fire could only injure the insect and cause it pain, but it was not enough to kill it.

The burning sensation in his body subsided, and Red Worm said, "The silver needles have sealed my body, so I can't move. Please remove the needles first. Also, you have to promise that you won't attack me after I get out..."

"So much nonsense."

Chen Yang didn't bother with any conditions. He used his right sword finger to make a small cut on Ke Shaohua's tailbone.

With a flick of a silver needle into the wound, a blood-red, tendon-like object was pulled out.

With a single thrust of the silver needle, Chen Yang removed the needle from Ke Shaohua's body. He then grabbed the insect's body and pulled it outwards.

"call out!"

Like a cramp, a red light was drawn out from Ke Shaohua's back.

Once the red worm was freed from the red rope's restraint, it immediately swung its body and lunged straight at Chen Yang's face.

Their intention was very clear: they wanted to take the opportunity to possess Chen Yang.

But how could Chen Yang let him succeed?
He grabbed the insect's body with one hand, activated the Five Samadhi True Fire Technique, and flames instantly ignited in his palm, engulfing the red insect's body.
