I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 122 Centipede Demon

The black-robed figure rolled up the torn skin of Liu Xiang a few times and stuffed it into his robes. Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and began to gnaw at Liu Xiang's flesh and bones. After a series of crunching sounds, he actually ate Liu Xiang piece by piece!
Liu Xiang was a martial artist. Although he wasn't particularly burly, he was still a man. After being completely devoured by the black-robed figure, the figure's belly didn't swell up much. It was unclear where the flesh and blood he had swallowed had gone.

"Hiccup~"

The man in black robes finished eating Liu Xiang's corpse, let out a burp, and then suddenly his gaze sharpened as he looked into the distance.

At the edge of his vision, he saw a few scattered lights approaching. He could sense a large number of people and a rich, abundant blood energy, indicating that a large group of human warriors were heading in this direction.

"Deep, sex, division?"

A glint of demonic light flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. He uttered a word in a strange and deep voice, and seeing the firelight approaching from afar, he made no attempt to make contact with it. His entire body transformed into a blur and quickly retreated.

……

The figure in black robes fled into the distance.

After traversing hundreds of streets and alleys, we quietly entered a low-rise house.

The house was very dilapidated, and from the outside it looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time. But inside the house, a terrifying scene was presented. A huge centipede, about five feet long, was lying on a bed, moving its densely packed long legs.

Beneath it, even more horrifying, were countless tiny centipedes writhing and twisting. Though called 'tiny' centipedes, they were actually much larger than ordinary centipedes, each as thick as an infant's arm, and their twisting was extremely frightening.

And just then.

A figure in black robes pushed open the door and walked in, showing no surprise at the scene inside, before gently closing the door behind him.

It came to the bedside, its abdomen twitched a few times, and then it suddenly vomited a pile of blood and flesh.

Wow.

The giant centipede wriggling on the bed no longer controlled the numerous smaller centipedes beneath it. The smaller centipedes scrambled off the bed and pounced on the bits of bone and flesh vomited by the man in black robes, beginning to devour them frantically.

"yours."

The man in black robes reached into his robes, pulled out Liu Xiang's human skin, and tossed it toward the giant centipede on the bed.

The centipede on the bed, with its hundreds of long legs wriggling a few times, actually spoke in human language, saying, "These human warriors' skins are too fragile. They are completely damaged after only ten or fifteen days of use... If only we could get a human warrior's skin that has been used three times to coagulate blood, those skins are tough and won't break even after three or five years."

"trouble."

The man in black robes spoke briefly, saying, "It's not advisable to cause trouble within the city..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Just now, I encountered the Deep Execution Division. They're investigating. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, the giant centipede on the bed stood up and fiddled with Liu Xiang's human skin in its arms. At the same time, it spoke in human language, saying, "I told you to learn to speak properly, but you never listened. Now that you've infiltrated the human city, you're only learning to speak. After all this time, you're still only a half-baked speaker. If you speak outside, the humans will probably notice you."

"However, we have been quite active recently, so it's normal for the Censorate to be investigating us. Like the Demon Slayer Bureau, the Censorate is one of the most troublesome forces for the human race. We need to be more cautious for the next period of time and try not to go out."

As the giant centipede spoke, it repaired Liu Xiang's human skin.

But that's it.

A cold, indifferent voice suddenly came from under the door.

"Shenxiao!"

boom!
The door suddenly shattered, and a beam of lightning shot in from the broken doorway. This surging lightning did not strike the black-robed figure or the giant centipede on the bed, but instead struck the small centipedes on the ground, each as thick as a baby's arm.

"Eaaah!!"

A dozen or so small centipedes, gathered together and feeding on flesh and blood, were struck by lightning before they could dodge. They immediately let out a shrill and piercing scream, and then their shells burst open, killing them instantly.

"Do not!!!"

Upon seeing this, the giant centipede on the bed spoke in human language and let out a roar filled with shock and anger.

The figure in black robes rushed out the door immediately. He saw Wu Ming walking towards him not far away, and his eyes revealed madness and violence.

"You dare... to lay a hand on my child... die... die..."

boom!
The black-robed figure suddenly charged towards Wu Ming, his skin and robes bursting and tearing apart to reveal a nearly five-foot-long, jet-black centipede that lunged at Wu Ming, trying to rip him to pieces.

However, Wu Ming's expression remained unchanged. He reached out and grasped the Xuan Tie Spear from behind his back, and with a sudden thrust, he sent the giant centipede flying. The centipede crashed into the wall of the house, shattering the mud and stone structure.

With just one strike, the centipede demon, which had reached the third stage of transformation, was forced to cough up blood.

"Ah, ah..."

The giant centipede hissed angrily and wriggled out of the hole in the house, lunging at Wu Ming again, trying to fight him to the death.

However, at that moment, Wu Ming's gaze passed over him and turned towards the house behind him. *Bang!*

The house exploded, and the female centipede that had been lying face down on the bed rushed out. However, it did not rush towards Wu Ming. Instead, it transformed into a black shadow and quickly fled into the distance.

Clearly, after a brief exchange, it realized that Wu Ming's strength was astonishing and impossible to deal with. It immediately abandoned its hatred for its child's death and even abandoned the other centipede that was fighting Wu Ming to the death, attempting to escape.

"Want to go?"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.

He vaguely sensed that something had changed, and when he turned around, Liu Xiang had already been killed by the centipede demon. He did not rush to show himself, but observed the centipede demon's actions and then followed it all the way. As a result, he found a whole nest of centipede demons in a dilapidated house at the end of this remote alley.

Two centipede demons infiltrated the city, preying on martial artists and even spawning a litter of smaller demons, allowing them to continue lurking in the shadows. This is outrageous!

"Thunder!"

Wu Ming raised his spear and unleashed the sixth move of the Thunderclap Spear Technique to meet the desperate centipede demon. With just one strike, he shattered its tough, steel-like shell and pierced its body through!

However, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily. Moreover, this was only a penetrating wound, which was not fatal to the centipede demon at the third transformation. It wriggled its hundreds of limbs and slashed wildly at Wu Ming, each long leg like a sharp blade.

However, Wu Ming simply shook and jerked the spear, sending it flying.

Afterwards.

He leaped into the air, chasing after the fleeing centipede demon in the distance. At this moment, they were more than twenty feet apart. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he used the "Lin" spell to calm his mind, releasing his soul power from afar.

The female centipede demon, who was desperately trying to escape, was struck as if by lightning. Her body, which was moving forward rapidly, suddenly stopped, her whole body twisted into a ball, and she let out a painful scream.

at this time,

Wu Ming quickly approached and thrust his spear forward.

"hiss!"

The centipede demon hissed. As a three-transformation great demon, it was not without its tricks. Facing Wu Ming, it suddenly opened its huge mouth and spewed out a thick purple poisonous mist, enveloping Wu Ming.

Wherever this purple poisonous fog went, the air hissed, and the area it affected, including the pebbles on the ground, melted rapidly as if they were ice cubes falling into a pot of oil.

"Divine Firmament Thunder Technique".

Wu Ming was not afraid of the approaching purple poisonous mist. With a thought, lightning roared in an instant.

boom!
The lightning exploded, directly dispersing the purple poisonous mist.

Wu Ming's figure blurred as he passed through, his Xuan Tie spear piercing through the centipede demon's head and pinning it firmly to the ground.

This time, the centipede demon was severely injured. Its body twisted and struggled wildly, and several sharp thorns emerged from its tail, stabbing fiercely at Wu Ming, trying to take him down with it. However, Wu Ming's senses were keen, and as if he had anticipated this, he used his palm to pull back and avoid the thorns' attack.

The two-headed, three-transformation demon was already no match for him for several rounds, and that was without him using the "Soldier's Secret" technique and controlling his flying sword.

Swish!
In the distance, the male centipede demon that had been severely injured earlier attacked again in a frenzy.

Wu Ming remained calm, gripping the black iron spear. He thrust it through the air, and after a few brief moves, he struck again, piercing the man's body once more and leaving another bloody hole in his torso.

Immediately afterwards, his spear drew an arc, and under the guidance of his soul, he released the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. A wisp of lightning condensed on the tip of the spear, subtly coordinating with the Thunderclap Spear Technique, and with one thrust, he pierced through the female centipede demon once again.

Crackling! !
The force of the lightning pierced through him, causing it to erupt directly inside his body, with blinding bolts of lightning roaming freely.

The female centipede demon let out a shrill scream, her body convulsing continuously, and a burnt smell emanated from her body. Her head had already been pierced, and with this blow from Wu Ming, she finally could not hold on any longer, and her life force began to gradually dissipate.

Upon seeing this, the male centipede demon opened its massive mouth and suddenly spat out a cloud of purple venom at Wu Ming.

Swish.

Wu Ming remained calm and dodged the attack, simultaneously gripping his spear and hurling it through the air.

The eighty-pound black iron spear, once thrown, possessed terrifying power. The male centipede demon tried to dodge, but it was too late. The spear thrown by Wu Ming pierced through its body and pinned it to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, while still in mid-air, Wu Ming made hand seals in front of him, gathered his soul thoughts, and activated the thunder talisman once again.

"Divine Firmament True Thunder!"

boom!
Lightning condensed and fell, striking the end of the black iron spear directly. It then pierced through the centipede demon's body along the spear, crackling and popping as the power of the lightning raged and roamed within its body.

The male centipede demon had already been severely injured, and now it was suffering this fatal blow. It struggled and writhed frantically on the ground, but eventually its wriggling strength waned, and it gradually stiffened and stopped moving.
