Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 48 Top Five
A pitch-black silk thread appeared in the distant sky. Its speed was so fast that the naked eye could not detect it. Tianlu, who was hesitating whether he should turn his head and escape, only saw a ray of light passing by, and then the sound filled the sky. The sound of explosion sounded.

At this moment, even the air was split into two halves, leaving only the terrifying sword energy rippling, causing the sky to be unable to heal for a long time.

When Tian Chong swung this sword, Tian Ling and the group who were running away felt a piercing cold approaching from behind, and he almost suspected that Tian Chong's sword was aimed at I want to kill them myself!

Fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen, because the target of Tian Chong's sword was not them, but the Spirit King who had already been disabled...

"not good!"

In an instant, Tian Ling understood the true purpose of this sword.

"This guy's goal from the very beginning is the spirit core of the Spirit King!"

After thinking about it, Tian Ling gritted his silver teeth, especially when he thought that Tian Chong had deliberately exposed the strength of the six-eyed knife mantis to paralyze him before, so he wished to tear up the bastard to feed his own heaven. Ling devil spider.

But it was too late to be angry at this time, and behind them was the dragon and centipede spirit king in a state of rage, and now that they were defeated soldiers with little spiritual power left, they had no choice but to escape.

Tian Ling raised his head to look at the sword energy, and he had already started praying in his heart that the spirit king could block the opponent's blow.

It's a pity that at this time, the black light formed by the condensed sword energy had already slashed on the hard body of the Spirit King, and then passed through.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, the distant mountain peaks behind the Lingwang were separated, and the breaks were as smooth as a mirror...

Rumble!
Like those mountain peaks, Lingwang's huge body suddenly split open and flattened into two halves, and then fell to the sides, smashing out two huge twin lakes on the ground.

Unlike those spirit soldiers and spirit generals, the body of the spirit king who was split in half by the sword energy did not dissipate directly, but condensed a dazzling bright light spot in its center,

The huge body of the Spirit King, which was completely condensed by spiritual power, quickly converged towards the light spot under a mysterious force, and finally even the celestial insects couldn't look directly at the light.

Soon, the light disappeared, and a huge colorful spiritual core appeared on the spot...

Seeing this scene, Tian Ling's eyes turned red with envy, his throat rolled, and he gritted his teeth suddenly...then suddenly flew away and disappeared into the sky.

"Quite decisive!" Tian Chong watched this scene with narrowed eyes, and sighed inwardly.

But when he turned his head and saw the slug who was dazed there, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Run! Are you waiting to die there?"

Before his words fell, Tian Chong's body had already arrived in front of the spirit core of the spirit king, and then he put it into his spirit card without hesitation.

After the test just now, Tian Chong knew very well how strong the berserk Dragon Centipede King was behind him. The sword just now consumed [-]% of the spiritual power in his body. There is no way to continue to use the sword.

After being roared by the celestial worm, the celestial slug also reacted, and then joined the fleeing team.

The Dragon Centipede Spirit King did not chase after him, but stopped quickly, and then quickly disappeared into the ground... because at this time, there were three powerful auras in the direction where Tian Chong and others were escaping. fast approaching...

This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but after the crisis was lifted, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the spirit core of the Spirit King just now.

It's a pity, at some point, Tian Chong had already sneaked away with Tian Bu, otherwise, if all the teams gathered, the spirit core in his hand would be in danger!
"Cunning boy, you run really fast!" Tian Ling said bitterly.

"Brother Ling, what shall we do next?" A boy with a pale face couldn't help asking.

This time their team was exhausted, and many spare sky-level spirit insects were also exhausted in successive battles. It can be said that the loss was serious.

"Let's go, we must also avoid those three teams, otherwise I will really suffer this time..."

In their current state, if someone else seizes the opportunity, then I believe that the other party will never let go of this easily available spiritual core.

Although everyone was unwilling, but they were stronger than others, so they could only choose to avoid it.

It's just that these people inevitably put this account on Tian Chong's head.

At this time, only Tian Ling could remain calm. Although he wished to kill that day worm in his heart at this time, he was still deeply afraid of him.

After all, a person who has been quiet before the battle, and has never even heard of it, has such a strong strength and scheming, it may be said that this time the opponent is the biggest dark horse in this knockout round!
……

……

After avoiding everyone's eyes, Tian Chong and Tian Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the latter came over with an excited face, and said with a smile, "Hehe, I didn't expect that after playing for a long time that day, I almost ran out of cards in my hand, but in the end, the spirit core of the spirit king took advantage of you!"

"Aren't you afraid to wait for that guy to find you desperately afterward?"

Tian Chong glanced at the woman, and said calmly: "He gave up on his own initiative first, so what's wrong with me getting it now?"

"Tch! Tell Tian Ling about this, and see if he can listen!"

"I don't need him to listen to it..." Tian Chong turned his head slightly and looked forward. "Okay, it's over, and it's time for you and me to part ways."

"Ah? Are you actually going to abandon me?"

Hearing the words, Tianlu immediately put on a pitiful expression like a little beast about to be abandoned.

"Aren't we good partners? Look at this time we teamed up and let you even get the spirit core of the Spirit King. You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

"I don't see any partner, all I see is a burden..." Tian Chong said bluntly with a serious face.

But it's not true that this slug is useless. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have had the chance to find this gathering point, and naturally he wouldn't be able to get the Spirit King's core...

"Bring your spirit card..."

After thinking about it, Tian Chong finally said.

"What are you doing?" The slug, who was regarded as a burden, looked angry, but after hearing what the worm said, he still took out his spirit card with doubts.

Anyway, the spirit core in her spirit card is not even comparable to the opponent's fraction, so she is not at all afraid that Tian Chong will play with her spirit core.

Tian Chong took the spirit card in the girl's hand, and then touched his own spirit card. In an instant, the number on Tian Chong's own spirit card was reduced by a thousand, while Tian Bu's number that had just reached four digits was doubled.

"This Thousand Spirit Accounting is your reward, and we will not owe each other any more from now on!"

After finishing speaking, Tian Chong turned into a sword light and disappeared in place.

Tianlu looked at the spirit card in his hand, and then looked at the direction where the worm disappeared, blinked his eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his delicate mouth, he muttered something to the back of the worm in his heart, and then turned around. The shape also disappeared in place in an instant.

In the following time, after the Heavenly Worm fully recovered, it started its hunting journey again.

It's a pity that he never encountered the huge gathering point of spirit bodies before, which also made his hunting efficiency much lower.

But even so, because of the existence of the spirit core of the spirit king, the number on the spirit card of Tian Chong has reached a terrifying 8000.

Although I don't know how other people are, but judging from the difficulty of obtaining the spiritual core by Tian Chong himself, there should be no more than ten people who can surpass him!
"I just don't know if this value can enter the top five..." Tian Chong was still a little apprehensive.

But even if he wanted to hunt down the spirit soldiers, it was impossible, because the time for the knockout round had come...

In the center of Liuyue Realm, a huge square is located here, and the first thing the contestants who enter the square see is a huge stone tablet that is hundreds of feet high.

The stele is divided into four sides, exuding extremely powerful fluctuations of spiritual power. Starting from the top of the stele, names are displayed one by one.

This is the spiritual tablet that records the ranking of the knockout competition. It is connected to the breath of the spiritual card in the hands of the contestants. The value on the spiritual card of each contestant will be displayed here, and then arranged from large to small.

Because the Floating Moon Realm is not suitable for living beings to exist for a long time, so there are no people in the square at this time, so no one can see the ranking.

It's just that as the game time approached, people gradually began to appear in the square, and then they couldn't wait to find their names on the monument...

Out of 170 people, only [-] can pass the knockout round. Such a super high elimination rate directly makes more than [-]% of the people doomed to be disappointed.

In fact, everyone knows this in their hearts, but if they don't see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one will be reconciled.

However, after realizing that it was impossible for him to pass, everyone's eyes began to fall on those who could be at the top of the list.

Because everyone knows that the top five in the knockout round can directly get the place in the insect world, so they really want to know who these five lucky ones are.

"Hmph, it's still up for grabs. It must be the five supreme beings... Why are there five people who got the quota in advance? It's obvious that the clan has already assigned the five quotas to them by default!"

Many young people are very unconvinced by this.

"Hey, if there is a dark horse in this knockout round, just squeeze one out of the top five, do you think the adults in the clan will feel slapped in the face?"

After a young man finished speaking, he suddenly saw his companion staring up dumbfoundedly, without reacting for a while.

"I said you kid, what do you see..."

Following his companion's gaze, the young man finally knew what the other party was looking at, but the moment he saw it, his voice seemed to be strangled by something, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"750, where did this guy called Tian Chong get such a high score? How many spirit soldiers should he have killed?"

Finally, the young man finally shouted out what was in his heart.

And as he shouted, more people also noticed this scene.

What's even more unbelievable is that this unknown man named Tian Chong, with his terrifying high score, directly occupied the fourth place!
Looking at the three words "physical difficulty" under the other party's name, which represents strength, everyone felt so dazzling...

Among the 170 people participating this time, I am afraid that this is the only one who is physically difficult, right?
"Am I not mistaken? A guy who is only physically difficult has rushed to the top five? Is this spiritual tablet broken?"

Everyone nodded, as if there was only one reason to explain what they saw.

But at this moment, a timid voice suddenly came out: "What if this is true..."

In an instant, the young man who was originally in the corner became the focus of everyone, and the scorching eyes almost scared the speaker to pee.

The opponent's companion was also taken aback, and quickly covered the opponent's chest, and apologized to everyone.

After everyone finally looked away, the companion cursed angrily: "Are you stupid!"

"If this is true, then it proves that our group of guys with low spiritual power and even difficult spirit are trash and idiots! Got it!"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone decided not to argue with the two idiots. At this time, they were all attracted by the ranking on the stele, especially after seeing that the fourth worm had no more points than the fifth, or even a little less...

Because the value after No.5 actually reached [-]... This made everyone confused, and made it more certain that the stele was broken.

Of course, these are just a small episode.

Because these people have all understood the rules of the knockout round, the only possibility for this to happen is that the guy named Tian Chong got a Spirit King Spirit Core through some kind of shit luck!
At this time, on the spiritual tablet, No. 1 ranked No. [-] without any surprise is the centipede who has the title of the first genius of the twelve branches, and his points are also very terrifying, directly exceeding [-]!
This is more than 4 points more than the No.1 celestial worm, but it did not cause the slightest disturbance in everyone's hearts. At most, they just lamented the power of this celestial centipede.

The remaining second and third are the celestial gnat with the giant vein dragonfly and the celestial gnat with the wind feather celestial cicada...

These two are of equal strength and age, and in the entire twelve younger generations, except for Tian Centipede, who is the undisputed strongest, no one is convinced.

Originally, there was another person like this, and that was Tian Xie who had an elder father. Originally, everyone thought that besides the number one, the remaining three, including Tian Xie, would firmly occupy the other three of the top four. , As for the specific quota, it depends on them.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Tianlong would be squeezed directly to fifth place!
In this way, the ranking of this knockout round will be stabilized, and the top five who can directly get places are Tian Centipede, Tian Chi, Tian Du, Tian Worm and Tian Chi.

As for the original No.5 who didn't even have a name, he could only compete with others for the final five places.

Although it is easy to pass the round robin with his supreme level strength, but this face is completely lost...
