Chapter 523 - 370: Old Acquaintances of Spirit Sword Mountain (Double - )
On this plaza, the most powerful group is undeniably those swordsmen in flowing white clothes, with their ethereal dispositions.
"Wuji Junior Brother, Yaoguang Junior Sister, we will go to other locations for rescue, while you stay here." said one of the remarkably handsome swordsmen, turning back to give instructions.
If Song Changming were present, he would certainly recognize the two he was speaking to at a glance.
It was none other than the master of the Sword Cliff, Nan Wuji, and the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion, Su Yaoguang!
Old acquaintances from the Other Shore of the Abyss who had come to the Ancient Abyss Country!
"Alright." Su Yaoguang replied.
Nan Wuji nodded as well.
After all these years, Su Yaoguang’s charm remained unchanged, she was still as bright and enchanting like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace.
Nan Wuji, on the other hand, remained as calm as water, showing little emotion, with a formidable Sword Qi emanating from his body.
After giving instructions, they left the two of them behind, while the other seven or eight swordsmen in white flew off to slay more demons and rescue citizens from peril.
Not long after those swordsmen in white left, a group of the Demon Race, attracted by the scent of humans, arrived at the grand plaza.
Originally leaning against the plaza’s stone pillar with his sword, Nan Wuji opened his eyes.
His dark gaze seemed to emit a sudden burst of sharp Sword Qi.
Before the group of wolf demons rushing through the streets could get close, Nan Wuji had already drawn his sword, instantly unleashing several powerful Sword Qi down the street, wiping out the wolf demons in an instant!
"Truly impressive, worthy of being disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain! Such mastery of the Sword Dao is truly extraordinary!"
"Indeed, fierce and overpowering. If I am not mistaken, there was a Wolf Commander among the wolves just now, yet it could not withstand this man’s sword! Amazing..."
"In my opinion, his strength is no weaker than the military Commander. With him here, we can be at ease!"
"..."
On the plaza, many martial artists marveled at this amazing strike from Nan Wuji.
Nan Wuji paid no mind to others’ words, instead furrowed his brows, focusing on the blood-soaked street, keeping his sword drawn.
Beside him, Su Yaoguang also seemed to sense something, concentrating on the street.
In the next moment, from the main avenue, a massive insect over ten meters long suddenly emerged from underground.
The insect had a centipede-like body and a beetle-like head.
Upon its appearance, it began a rampage, destroying all the houses along the street and causing numerous casualties among the citizens.
"Wretched beast, prepare to die!"
With their blood boiling, a martial artist on the plaza shouted, drew his sword, and charged, intending to slay the rampaging insect.
The insect seemed easy to deal with, like a massively magnified mutant centipede, and it didn’t even seem to possess the intelligence typical of the Demon Race, acting solely on instinct.
However, when the martial artist’s blades struck the insect’s body, they failed to create any cracks, instead, the martial artists were swallowed whole by the insect.
In the end, out of the six martial artists who attacked, only one escaped back in panic.
"This Insect Demon has high Tao Practice, it’s beyond a mere Demon General Level, let’s join forces!" Su Yaoguang pursed her lips and said seriously, inviting Nan Wuji to team up.
She realized she couldn’t defeat the Insect Demon alone.
She even suspected that even if she and Nan Wuji teamed up, along with the other martial arts experts present, they might not be able to withstand the giant insect!
But given the current situation, they could only try for now.
At the very least, they had to hold on until those senior brothers returned.
"Alright." Nan Wuji nodded, acknowledging the strength of the Insect Demon, realizing it wasn’t something he could defeat alone, and there was no need to be reckless.
With the Insect Demon approaching the plaza, the two of them immediately brandished their swords and charged.
After many years of deep cultivation in the Ancient Abyss Country, they had both successfully entered the Innate Realm, and their mastery of the Sword Dao had made a giant leap, surpassing even their Qi Refining Cultivation.
One displayed a supreme aura of invincibility, while the other had a unique Sword Dao of Ice Heart reflecting the moon, freezing the world in frost.
"It hurts! It hurts!" The Insect Demon, struck by the two, was in unbearable pain, its shell cracking, insect juice bursting out, emitting strange mournful howls.
Suddenly, the Insect Demon burrowed underground again; just as Nan Wuji was about to pursue, countless insects broke out from beneath the plaza’s cobblestone pavement.
Dense and numerous.
These insects were identical to the Insect Demon in appearance, varying only in size.
Upon emerging, they spat sticky fluid at Nan Wuji, Su Yaoguang, and other martial artists rushing over.
The corrosive sticky fluid was extremely potent; several martial artists failed to dodge, and upon contact, they were instantly dissolved into a mess of blood and flesh!
The ground was also eroded into an uneven pit, making it dangerous to approach.
Su Yaoguang looked with distaste at the dense insects; as her longsword danced, in an instant, she froze half the plaza, encasing the insects in ice.
Bang!
The Insect Demon suddenly reappeared, emerging from the ground without warning, swallowing another martial artist whole.
Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang simultaneously unleashed Sword Qi, but could only wound the Insect Demon’s body, not deliver a fatal blow.
The insect’s shell was incredibly hard, even their powerful Sword Qi barely broke through the defenses, achieving only superficial damage.
Even if the military Commander were here, facing this Insect Demon, they wouldn’t do any better.
"It hurts, it hurts!" The Insect Demon winced in pain, burrowing underground again.
"Hmph, insects will always be insects, never making it to the stage!" A Banshee with fur on her body appeared from afar, disdainfully mocking the insect’s clumsy burrowing.
"Trouble." Su Yaoguang noticed the arriving Banshee, a strong sense of crisis mounting in her heart.
