Everyone's a Mole / Kevin's Layers upon Layers of Schemes

The Space Tunnel, which was just one step away from opening, was suddenly opened, completely exposing the three important cities where the temples were located—New York, London, and Hong Kong— to the Shanhai Beasts.

At the critical moment, Kevin and Fu Hua made a decisive move, splitting into two groups, each guarding an open Space Tunnel, in order to delay until the Heavenly Palace descended.

Moreover, as long as the three passages are blocked, cutting off their escape route to the human world, the Four Great Sword Masters of the Sword Dancing Ground will be trapped like turtles in a jar, and it will only be a matter of time before they are dealt with.

The problem is that there are three gaps, and Kevin and Fu Hua will inevitably be stretched thin.

They could manage to keep up in the early stages, but as more and more mid- to high-level experimental subjects surrounded them, the pressure on the two of them increased significantly.

"Laugh!"

Gonggong, the first high-level experimental subject to escape, flicked his tongue, and a stream of black water shot towards the mountaintop. Kevin's Flame Greatsword spun around, shattering and evaporating the black water.

However, as the pervasive mist dissipated, the vegetation along the way withered instantly, and several Mythical Beasts that were shrouded in it were torn apart, turning into pools of pus and blood in just a few breaths.

Clearly, this substance possessed terrifying toxicity and corrosiveness. Caught off guard, the Judgment Angel inhaled a considerable amount, causing him to stagger. After several exchanges, he gradually began to feel powerless.

After a few moves, Gonggong, who was tens of meters tall, was forced back by the hundred-foot sword light. At the same time, Kevin's face turned red and white, and he vomited red and black blood.

Fu Hua's eyes flashed with intense emotions, but faced with the seemingly endless Shanhai Beasts in front of the two passages, as well as the Three-legged Golden Crow and the fire Zhu Rong surrounding them, he could only struggle to cope and was unable to offer any assistance.

Just then, two sharp sword lights parted the clouds and headed straight for Kevin was in dire straits!

P. S.: I'll post two chapters now, and the remaining two chapters are expected around 3 PM.

Chapter 785 (Bonus Chapter) - Section 821

Taixu Sword Form - Transformation into Sword Rain Swallow!

As a flash of blood appeared, Fu Hua's pupils were filled with blood, and a kind of Affliction that had been sealed deep in her memory surged into her mind.

The Immortal Vermillion Bird's face turned cold. Her fingers moved in a series of hand seals, and the two sword wheels merged into one. With a clear cry, they transformed into the shape of a swallow with their energy, flapping their wings and striking forward.

At this moment, the two figures that appeared in mid-air sensed the approaching sword light and felt a chill run through their bodies, so they immediately retreated.

However, the two sword wheels, with unparalleled agility, swept upwards diagonally, like maggots clinging to bones.

Two figures, one from the underworld and the other from the righteous path, one drawing a bow and the other wielding a crescent-shaped blade, supported each other as they extended their arms to strike forward.

Instantly, a dark red arrow of light condensed and shot out at a tricky angle, the blood-red blade light slashing out in an arc, appearing sinister and vicious.

However, the moment the two attacks made contact with the beautiful pale blue swift in mid-air, the condensed and restrained sword intent exploded, and thousands of water droplet-shaped sword energies scattered in all directions.

With a dull thud as the fabric tore, their sleeves were ripped, revealing their arms holding weapons.

Due to the brief exchange just now, the tiger's mouth of both of them was lacerated, many meridians in their hands were necrotic, their skin turned a horrifying bluish-purple color, and the bone-chilling coldness grew stronger with each wave.

We clearly killed this monster, so why is she still alive, and even stronger than before!

The sisters Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanru, who were the first to lose their temper and make a move, glared fiercely at Fu Hua in the distance.

Seeing the "Swift," which had been temporarily repelled, spread its wings and flew back again, Jiang Wanxi, the older sister, immediately made a decision.

"Run separately!"

The two sisters were of one mind, and they used their skillful strength to push each other's waists, allowing them to quickly retreat out of the swift's attack range.

Unexpectedly, as the hand seals in Immortal Vermillion Bird's hands changed, the swift shrank in size and split into two, chasing after each other in different directions.

Damn it! You really think we're afraid of you?!

Seeing the swift arrive in an instant, with no way to avoid it, Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanru, the sisters, immediately suppressed their fear and hardened their hearts.

Arrows and sword flashes intertwined and danced, transforming into the shapes of dragons and snakes, each pouncing and biting at the swifts behind them.

However, in just one exchange, the swift, which appeared to be a generation smaller, deftly pulled back its body and nimbly avoided the dragon and snake's entanglement and bite.

Immediately, the swift's pair of sword-like claws tore the spiraling worm to shreds in a few swift movements, making the outcome clear.

At this moment, Fu Hua, who arrived riding on a sword beam, glanced at Kevin, who had been stabbed in the back with a wound three inches deep, and her gaze was complex and tinged with reproach.

Afterwards, Immortal Vermillion Bird looked ahead with disdain, watching the Miao sisters who were being forced towards the center by the sword wheels. Her lips moved, and her voice was somewhat tinged with vicissitudes and coldness.

"The Sword Qi Manifestation, but the essence is lost; five hundred years have passed, and I still haven't mastered it..."

"Shut up! You are no longer our master, what right do you have to point fingers at us!"

Jiang Wanru, whose hair was half black and half white, had an angry expression, a distorted face, and was even somewhat hysterical.

Fu Hua sighed softly, and while manipulating the sword formation to seal the three spatial gaps, she slowly stepped forward, her expression revealing little joy or sorrow.

That indifferent gaze, as if looking at a stranger, stirred a strange sense of resentment within Jiang Wanru, who had been somewhat uneasy.

It was clearly the seven of us who betrayed her, so why is she so calm? How can she be so calm!

However, before Jiang Wanru could voice her inner questions, Jiang Wan, who was holding a crescent-shaped scimitar, had a resolute look in her eyes.

Immediately, the Third Sword Master, dressed in Miao attire, raised his curved blade and slashed down from mid-air, a dazzling silver light and a blinding crimson flashing simultaneously.

Several scarlet spots appeared on one side of Jiang Wanru's cheek, causing the Fourth Sword Master, who was enraged, to stand there dumbfounded.

Kevin, who was in charge of providing support, was shocked to find that Jiang Wanxi's knife had actually struck his left wrist, severing it cleanly at the wrist, with blood spurting everywhere.

What is this? Self-harm? Begging for mercy?

Several strange thoughts flashed through Kevin's mind, but this inexplicable eeriness could not be reconciled with the options that emerged.

At this moment, Kevin noticed that the blood at Jiang Wanxi's wound was extremely pale.

The vital energy she was losing, along with the severed hand that was floating in mid-air, were terrifyingly gathering in front of her chest to form strange symbols.

Jiang Wanxi held the knife to her chest with one hand, her lips moving as she murmured in Miao language. Her pale face held a solemn and resolute expression.

At the same time, within the blood sphere suspended in mid-air, hundreds of tiny, egg-shaped particles devoured the blood energy at a visible speed.

In an instant, they rapidly grew larger, transforming from crystal clear to an eerie blackish-gold color, as if living creatures were swimming inside.

Immediately afterwards, a teeth-grinding squeaking sound came, and a group of small creatures, whose main body resembled golden silkworms and had three pairs of transparent wings on their sides, flapped their wings and slowly rose into the air.

Those eerie little eyes were fixed on Kevin and Fu Hua, who keenly sensed that they seemed to have been treated as "food".

"Six-winged Golden Silkworm Gu! You actually raised such a thing inside your own body. Do you know the price you'll pay?"

Fu Hua's voice was low, and his gaze was somewhat solemn.

"Being eaten away by this thing until it's just an empty shell? You think I'm afraid? Compared to the Affliction we've endured, what is this?"

Jiang Wanxi smiled bitterly, flicked her fingers to manipulate the six-winged golden silkworms surrounding her, and looked at her former master with a playful expression.

"Curse magic? Descendants of the Sanmiao?"

"You worship Chi You, the Chi You, the God of War?"

Kevin took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept back and forth between Fu Hua and Jiang Wanxi. He seemed to have thought of something, and his voice was low and somber.

"I remember in 1446, Fu Hua wiped out the Remnants of Jiuyou Netherworld Clan who attempted to resurrect the ancient evil beast Chi You at the Ancient Tomb of the War God? You..."

Jiang Wanxi twirled the curved blade between her fingers, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"That's right, we are the descendants of the Remnants of Jiuyou. Back then, my father and mother escaped from the pile of corpses in the ancient tomb and went to Wangshan in the Central Plains to serve Yan Shilu..."

"However, our master is intolerant of any wrongdoing. While purging the evil sects in the Central Plains, he also wiped out Yan Shilu, and burned the entire mountain to the ground."

"My parents escaped once, but they couldn't escape a second time..."

"But unfortunately, we remnants were not destined to die. We hid in the cellar and survived by sheer luck. We were even taken in by this benevolent and wicked Immortal Vermillion Bird Kite."

"Oh, right, Cheng Lingshuang, who hid with us back then, was probably only two years old. Her father had too many enemies, so she took her mother's surname. Otherwise, Fifth Junior Sister should have been surnamed Yan..."

I said, "You really know how to pick your apprentices. The Old Three, Old Four, and Old Five brothers all have a blood feud with you. It's no wonder they've turned against you."

Kevin, upon learning the secret, was both amused and exasperated.

"It seems you're quite interested in the inside stories about my master. Tell me one more thing."

Jiang Wanxi reached out and pinched the golden silkworm shells on her fingertips, feeling that they were still relatively soft. As she tore off a strip of cloth to tie the wound, she gave Kevin a strange, cold laugh.

"My Second Senior Sister, Su Mei, was a girl brought from the Wala by our master in the second year of the Great Ming Dynasty era. Although she had a Han Chinese name, she didn't look like a person from the Central Plains."

"Prior to this, the Great Ming Dynasty suffered the Tumu Crisis, was defeated by the Wala, and experienced the struggle between two emperors, leading to a decline in its national power."

"So, Master probably knows better than I what this noble person from the Wala is for."

Upon hearing this, Kevin glanced at Fu Hua, who remained silent, and rolled his eyes.

Well, it's highly likely that Su Mei kidnapped these hostages to restrain the Wala incursions.

So, of your seven apprentices, at least half were traitors before?! And now they're all of them!

Chapter 786, Kevin 822 (Bonus Chapter)

"Remember next time, nip it in the bud. A pack of ungrateful wolves will bite you sooner or later."

At this moment, Kevin slowly opened his eyes, turned to Fu Hua and whispered in a low voice, his face calm, but his words were filled with the smell of blood.

The Immortal Vermillion Bird's expression was complex, and in the end, she could only let out a soft sigh.

"Hmph! She never cares about human life. The only reason we survived is because God was kind and we knew how to hide."

Jiang Wanxi's face was filled with resentment, and she gave her former master a cold laugh.

Fu Hua glanced at her fourth disciple, whose hair was half-white and whose wrist was wrapped in bandages, and whispered while wiping her sword.

"The Remnants of Jiuyou worships the Honkai Beast, regarding the marks left on humans after being Honkai as sacred symbols, which they venerate and select bloodlines to inherit..."

"Therefore, Wanru is the last Saintess of the Remnants of Jiuyou, which is why your parents were protected at all costs and safely escorted out of the War Lord's Ancient Tomb..."

At this moment, Jiang Wanxi, who had been speaking eloquently, looked surprised and somewhat shocked.

"How could you...?"

"I personally led the extermination of the Remnants of Jiuyou. The moment I saw you, I knew your identities..."

Fu Hua's gaze swept indifferently over the two of them, revealing only a calm acceptance of the world's affairs.

This simple statement left Jiang Wanxi unable to find a point of attack, even if she wanted to refute it.

"Then why don't you kill us! I get it, you wanted to torture us slowly, right!"

With her back to the Miao sisters, Fu Hua focused intently on manipulating the sword formation, defeating a new wave of demonic beasts as she murmured to herself, her gaze unfocused.

"You are just children, you haven't done anything seriously wrong, nor have you committed any great evil..."

Kevin could tell that the Immortal Vermillion Bird before him was showing a rare display of genuine emotion.

However, the Miao sisters, entangled in hatred and grudges, have lost their rational judgment. Jiang Wanxi, in particular, has a cold look in her eyes and has unleashed her malice to the extreme.

"You hypocrite! You slaughtered my clan and killed my parents. This is an irreconcilable hatred!"

"Even without that one attack, there would have been a second and a third! Now that we've met, there's nothing more to say!"

"After such a long delay, the Golden Silkworm Gu has matured. Prepare to die!"

Fu Hua glanced at the Golden Silkworm Gu that had grown a hard shell in mid-air, but did not stop it, allowing her third disciple to do his best.

At this moment, as the chanting began, hundreds of Golden Silkworm Gu became restless, their rapidly vibrating transparent wings emitting bursts of thunderous sounds.

However, these hideous insects continued to hover around the Miao sisters after Jiang Wanxi chanted the incantation, their hunger for food sending chills down their spines.

Jiang Wanxi gritted her teeth, gripped the curved blade in reverse, and severed her left arm at the shoulder before throwing it into the swarm of Golden Silkworm Gu.

In just a few breaths, one of her arms was completely devoured by the golden silkworms.

After being fed two batches of flesh and blood, the ferocious golden silkworm finally gave up its attachment to its host, flapped its wings, and rushed into the Swift Sword Wheel.

In an instant, golden arcs of light pierced through, and the shooting sword beams were torn apart and devoured by these Golden Silkworm Gu.

Moreover, the indestructible golden sword, with its slashing and thrusting, constantly emitted a piercing metallic clang. After several rounds, the swallow's mournful cry shattered, and iron filings flew everywhere.

After the sword light split apart, several broken sword hilts were revealed inside. The rest of the golden ancient swords undoubtedly became food for the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Hmph! My Remnants of Jiuyou's Golden Silkworm Gu devours everything; today I'll annihilate you, body and soul!

"Sword Strike - Thunderclap!"

However, at this moment, Fu Hua's body merged with the sword light, and the newly formed sword wheel showed a bluish-purple color that was connected with the lightning attribute element. As the dazzling arc of light flashed, the six-winged golden silkworms cried out and fell to the ground.

Gathering of Thunder and invincible! It has a natural restraint on evil and yin things. The thunder that Fu Hua summoned through the Tai Xu Sword Formation contains terrifying power of domination.

Seeing the situation turn against her, and the hundreds of Golden Silkworm Gu she had painstakingly cultivated lying on the ground, Jiang Wanxi hardened her heart and plunged her curved blade into her legs and shoulder wells.
