Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

When Li Guanqi saw the overwhelming swarm of insects, he finally understood what had happened to all the white bones he had seen before…

These insects had extremely sharp mouthparts, and their entire bodies were covered in what looked like a layer of armor.

Li Guanqi turned and ran without hesitation.

But the speed of these insects far exceeded his imagination!!!

The insects slightly vibrated their wings, and a buzzing sound, as faint as that of flies or mosquitoes, arose.

One by one, the insects transformed into black lines, swarming towards Li Guanqi!!!

Their speed was even a sliver faster than Li Guanqi's movement technique!!

Li Guanqi cursed inwardly, turned, and swung his sword!

The power of Sword墟 was activated, and under the ability of the illusory phase, the movement trajectories of these insects slowed down slightly in his eyes.

He raised his hand and unleashed hundreds of slashes!

Each strike contained extremely powerful immortal essence.

But…

Clang clang clang clang!! Clang clang!!!

A burst of sparks appeared before his eyes, and the black and white insects were actually knocked away one by one.

However, Li Guanqi's sword did not cause any substantial damage to them!!

At most, it would only slightly cut open their carapaces, or leave some white marks.

"So tough??"

Li Guanqi was shocked. The speed and force of his sword strikes, coupled with the immortal essence, were such that even a Rank 2 magic weapon would not be able to withstand them.

Moreover, Li Guanqi also discovered that these insects were actually trying to gnaw at the blade of Red Lotus!!!

Fortunately, Red Lotus had been nurtured by him for so many years, and its sturdiness was even greater.

However, bursts of sparks still erupted on the blade, making him tremble with fear.

The swarm of insects enveloped Li Guanqi like a black cloud.

Li Guanqi erected a Yuan energy barrier, but found that the power of the barrier was unable to withstand these insects at all.

In an instant, the insects gnawed holes all over his Yuan energy barrier.

Li Guanqi took out Blood Woe, and with both hands wielding the sword, he barely managed to defend himself!!

However, at this moment, the man from before appeared hundreds of feet away.

When he saw Li Guanqi, his eyes flickered, and he finally hesitated for a moment before speaking via voice transmission.

"Cut their wings!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guanqi's eyes lit up, and he swung his sword with both hands, the sword tips pointing directly at the base of the insects' wings on their backs.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Swinging the sword like a curtain, the sword light was dazzling, and one insect after another fell from the air, landing beside Li Guanqi.

After a few breaths, Li Guanqi finally cut down all the insects.

But at this time, the immortal essence in his body had actually been consumed by a full 30%!!

Li Guanqi stood in mid-air, panting heavily, his face pale.

He lowered his head and looked at the insects beneath his feet, a chill running down his spine.

The dense mass of insects piled up and wriggled beneath his feet, and a faint hissing sound came from their mouths as they climbed!!

Li Guanqi raised his hand and released immortal essence, capturing an insect in his hand, and discovered that its back was white, similar to bone.

There were several mysterious engravings on it, which were innate.

But even when trapped, the insect still used its sharp mouthparts to bite at the lightning.

One must know that the power of Li Guanqi's current immortal essence was no less than that of heavenly tribulation lightning.

This insect actually managed to bite a gap in the lightning cage.

Furthermore, as the insect devoured his immortal essence, the wings on its back slowly recovered.

Li Guanqi slowly exerted force with his right hand, but found that the insect's body was extremely hard!

Even with a full-strength grip, he only managed to make the insect wail, and a few cracks appeared in its carapace.

"What terrifying insects…"

"Carapaces as strong as mysterious iron, extremely fast flight speed, and they can also devour immortal essence!"

When he turned his head to look for the man in green robes from before, he found that the other party was long gone.

"Well, I owe him a favor."

At this time, Peng Luo also popped out, and Li Guanqi handed the insect to it for a look.

But who knew that this scene would scare Peng Luo so much that it almost fell off his shoulder.

"Ah!!!"

"Ancient remnant species, Xuanjia Bone-Eating Insect!!"

"This… how could this thing still exist!!"

Li Guanqi frowned. It was the first time he had seen fear in Peng Luo's eyes.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Peng Luo lowered its head and looked at the dense mass of insects beneath its feet. After a long while, it finally recovered.

While Li Guanqi was heading towards the direction where the green-robed man had disappeared, Peng Luo began to explain.

"Xuanjia Bone-Eating Insect is a bloodline remnant species of the ancient divine pet, Abyssal Bonefire Insect!"

"But the Abyssal Bonefire Insect is said to have completely disappeared millions of years ago."

"The Xuanjia Bone-Eating Insect has been passed down."

"In the memory inheritance of our clan, the biggest reason why the Abyssal Bonefire Insect is hailed as a divine insect is the special ability possessed by the bone-patterned jade plate on its back!"

Hearing this, Li Guanqi recalled the white bones on the back of the insect before, and asked in a low voice.

"What special ability?"

Peng Luo's face was unprecedentedly solemn.

"According to legend… the bone-patterned jade plate of the Abyssal Bonefire Insect has the heaven-defying ability to enter the river of time!"

"Furthermore, after the Abyssal Bonefire Insect matures, it can devour space and travel freely between realms!"

Li Guanqi couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he listened to Peng Luo's words.

"Good heavens… travel between realms, enter the river of time??"

Just as Peng Luo was about to say something, Li Guanqi suddenly stopped, grabbed Peng Luo's mouth!

In the distance within sight, there should be a dark hole thousands of feet away.

At this time, several groups of cultivators had already gathered around the hole.

The overwhelming swarm of insects was a dark mass, covering an area of nearly a thousand feet.

Li Guanqi's throat was dry, and the number of insects in front of him was at least a million!!!

From his position, it looked like a large surging black cloud covering the sky and earth!!

Miserable cries rose and fell, and corpses fell from the sky.

Before they even landed, they disappeared without a trace, without leaving even a bit of bone fragments or minced meat.

And the green-robed man who had reminded Li Guanqi earlier was now being frantically besieged by more than a dozen black-robed men!!

Those people didn't know what means they had used.

A milky white halo was condensed around them, like a spider web, and every Xuanjia Bone-Eating Insect that approached would be entangled by the halo.

Although the insects were still gnawing at the milky white silk threads, the halo continued to emerge.

Li Guanqi's face showed a look of contemplation, and then he approached silently.

"Ahhh!! Save me!! Save…"

"Damn it!! What the hell is this thing!! Pull me a…"

"Run!! These insects will devour immortal essence."

Miserable cries and shouts were incessant.

The air was filled with blood mist floating in the air, and the strong smell of blood was nauseating.

Liu Xiong swung his twin blades, kicked the green-robed man away, his eyes as sharp as knives, and said in a cold voice.

"Han Sijin, today… is your death day!"

"I advise you to hand over the Void Sky Stone as soon as possible, and I can send you to see your wife and daughters sooner."

Li Guanqi frowned and murmured.

"Liu Xiong killed his wife and daughters?"

"Void Sky Stone… Could it be the stone he was holding earlier?"
