"It seems there's some trouble!" Honda said with a cold expression, looking at the seemingly endless array of insects in front of her.
"With the three of us working together, it should be just about enough," Li Jiayu said, standing to Honda's left with a complex expression.
"Don't worry! You two are so powerful, we'll definitely win." Ran Hongxia stroked her green hat… cough cough, Dream Shattering Blade, she said.
Her mood hadn't been very high recently, but when it came to battle, she was still as high-spirited!
As the three conversed, the battle with the insectoids had already begun below.
Li Jiayu summoned the Fallen Angel, Ran Hongxia also raised her Dream Shattering Blade, and Honda took out Tian Ya.
The three nodded silently and began to provide support in three directions, and for a time, the insectoids suffered heavy casualties.
Just as the fierce battle grew more intense—
"Roar—!"
Accompanied by a roar filled with violence and destructive aura, all the inheritors on the battlefield felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, their breath caught, and an inexplicable sense of discomfort flowed through their entire bodies!
The ground instantly shook violently, and amidst the deafening roar, the soil of the central battlefield cracked and split in all directions, extending for a distance of twenty meters!
Li Jiayu's pupils constricted, and all the pores on her body opened wide!
Ran Hongxia also couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, and the Dream Shattering Blade in her hand vibrated, seemingly unable to suppress its desire to feast on delicious insect blood!
"It's here!"
Li Jiayu grabbed Ran Hongxia's hand and swiftly ran towards the center of the cracked area, while also not forgetting to turn her head and shout at Liu Yinsha and Fang Fang, who were conserving their strength:
"What are you still standing there for! Hurry and follow! We need the combined strength of all of us to deal with the Black Demon Bug!"
Liu Yinsha and Fang Fang finally snapped out of their surprise.
These two women didn't say a single superfluous word, directly transforming into black smoke and blood mist, arriving even faster than Li Jiayu and Ran Hongxia!
Honda also rushed quickly, but because she was a bit further away than the two, she was still a little slower!
With a loud bang, the dust from the soil shot out like a geyser with immense impact, swirling and rising, obscuring the sky and sun, vast and boundless!
The Black Demon Bug finally revealed its true form!
It was a pitch-black, shiny shelled insect, with a hideous form, covered everywhere with steel blade-like barbs, each a meter long and extremely sharp.
It had six insect legs on its lower body, and a triangular flat head with a pair of curved horns.
Its entire body was tightly encased in oily black carapace, revealing only a pair of eyes that flickered with a venomous, snake-like glint!
Below its head, octopus-like tentacles extended, each ten meters long and half a meter thick, black and red in color, like intricate black runes carved on red coral, looking quite terrifying.
On its body, there was a pair of atrophied wings, which, although no longer capable of flight, still exuded immense power, appearing black and purple, outlining a strange, elongated arc!
Most strangely, the Black Demon Bug's carapace had many holes, within which lived parasitic worms, like roundworms, winding and twisting, colorful and quite disgusting to behold!
"It's really ugly!" Honda flew into the air, looking at the black bug in front of her that looked like a failed plastic surgery, completely on the same level as a dung beetle.
"Stop complaining! Let's just focus on getting rid of it," Li Jiayu's clone, the Fallen Angel, flew beside Honda and said to her, looking somewhat exasperated at her complaining about the Black Demon Bug.
"Sword God." Ignoring Li Jiayu's complaint, Honda's profound magic flashed in her hand and entered Tian Ya.
Instantly, Tian Ya flew out and rapidly grew in mid-air, stopping its growth at about thirty meters.
"Slash!"
The giant Tian Ya swiftly slashed towards the Black Demon Bug's head, but the demon bug, sensing the danger, nimbly dodged, saving its life.
However, one of its unused wings on that side was cut in half, and the Black Demon Bug roared furiously at Honda in the sky.
"Ugh! Not running at a time like this, how foolish!" Honda nimbly dodged the Black Demon Bug's magic attack range.
She was quite speechless at this stupid bug that couldn't see the situation clearly.
Never mind, she might as well send it to its grave!
"Heaven and Earth without limits, Qiankun borrows the law. The four directions of land, heed my command! Earth God!" To be honest, this was the first time Honda had used this spell.
Normally, Honda only practiced Wind God, Thunder God, Sword God, and Wine God—these powerful incantations.
Today, on a whim, she wanted to try a spell she had never used before!
As spiritual energy was expended, the entire earth began to tremble.
A small mountain peak not far away slowly floated up.
Honda felt it wasn't enough and continued to increase the release of spiritual energy.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone (and bugs), five more mountain peaks rose from the ground and smashed towards the Black Demon Bug.
The Black Demon Bug panicked; it hadn't expected this human to be so strong.
But digging a hole was already too late, so it could only endure the blow.
Thinking this, the Black Demon Bug desperately squeezed its magic power, transforming it into a solid barrier.
"Boom~~~" As the Black Demon Bug established its defense, six mountain peaks crashed down.
The entire ground was smashed into a crater, shaking everyone on the ground, making them unable to stand steadily.
The bugs were also stunned, lying on the ground, not daring to move, completely terrified by the pressure.
"Phew~~~" Honda wiped away non-existent sweat and observed with her Heavenly Eye.
She wasn't dead yet, so Honda used Tianya to chop off the Black Demon Bug's head. That finally finished it! Li Jiayu and Ran Hongxia's group of four watched the entire process, eating their metaphorical popcorn. The early Fourth-Order Honda was stronger than all of them combined.
"Let's clean up!" Honda looked at Li Jiayu, signaling him to clear the battlefield! She was tired and needed to rest.
"Okay, rest well!" Li Jiayu was also very sensible and began leading Ran Hongxia to clean up the aftermath. After all, the leader had been beheaded by Honda, and the remaining small bugs weren't enough to kill Li Jiayu alone!
A complex look flashed in Honda's eyes. They were about to enter Yong City. After this junction ended, Honda would definitely leave this world to seek other opportunities. Although cultivation was fast in this world, the power system was too messy, with all sorts of powers. Honda needed to travel to other worlds to play… cough, cultivate for a while, as a form of rest.
