Golden Silk Mask

Wu Hen also realized that this Insect-Eyed Half-Human was truly formidable. Even while suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea, she was still able to undergo Sacred Fungus Transformation so quickly, and the form she took was exceptionally powerful—it had reached the level of being truly stunning!

"Run this way!" Wu Hen gave Wang Rui, who was running around like a headless fly, a hard yank.

After rushing out of the medicine warehouse, Wu Hen, Yu Yu, and Wang Rui immediately turned into the alleyway outside the warehouse walls.

The alley was not long. Yang Qin, having transformed into the Golden Fungus Centipede Woman, touched her dozen or so golden feet to the ground and lunged toward Wu Hen, who was carrying the large crate, with terrifying speed.

The three of them reached the end of the alley and immediately ducked to the side.

At the same time, a group of Order Maintenance Personnel holding rifles quickly sealed off the entire alley, forming two rows—one kneeling and one standing—with their automatic rifles raised!

"Fire!" the female officer commanded.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!!"

Bullets poured down in a dense barrage. No matter how fast Yang Qin was in her Golden Fungus Centipede Woman form, there was no way she could dodge such terrifying, full-scale firepower!

"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!!"

The golden fungus shell was exceptionally hard; the bullets struck it as if hitting steel.

Yang Qin, the Golden Fungus Centipede Woman, was forced back repeatedly by the rain of bullets, and the rows of golden soft feet she had sprouted were shredded by the gunfire.

However, her body remained intact, and her face, protected by the golden mask, was completely undamaged.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~~~~"

Yang Qin felt furious, for she had been played by Wu Hen once again.

In other words, Wu Hen had never trusted her from the very beginning; he had even set a trap like this, waiting for her to walk right into it.

She twisted her slender body, and from her shredded wounds, large amounts of golden soft mycelium secreted out, once again forming rows of centipede legs...

But unlike before, where they were all just crawling legs, this time the front rows of limbs she formed carried sharp golden blades, while the rear limbs were even stronger and more agile!

"Boom!"

Golden Pupil Yang Qin leaped into the air like a golden leech!

"Keep firing!!"

The order was given again. The Order Maintenance troops raised their muzzles one after another, unleashing a new round of gunfire at the leaping Golden Pupil Yang Qin!

But firing like this made recoil control even harder, not to mention that their accuracy plummeted.

Yang Qin no longer worried about being pushed back by the firepower. Although her body was covered in bullet marks, she had already dived into the middle of the armed unit!

With a downward slash of her front claws, a middle-aged Order Maintenance officer had his skull pierced instantly. His entire body was skewered by Yang Qin before being violently thrown against the nearby wall!

Opening her mouth, she spat out her tongue. A massive amount of golden stamen-filaments, resembling horsehair worms, tightly coiled around the two Order Maintenance Personnel, snapping their necks in a mere second!

The Fungus Tentacle Willow Blade swept across, slicing three Order Maintenance Personnel who hadn't managed to run far enough into two halves. The cuts were incredibly clean...

"Scatter! Engage in dispersed combat!"

The female Order Maintenance Personnel shouted loudly.

Soon, the entire squad scattered throughout the area. Some ran to the rooftops, some hid behind walls, and others fired their weapons while retreating.

Bullets were still capable of shredding the soft limbs of Yang Qin. After all, the entire campus's Order Maintenance force was concentrated here, representing the most powerful firepower available.

However, the secretion and transformation speed of a golden-level Insect-Eyed Half-Human was simply too fast. Just as they managed to shred all of her limbs, she would shake her body, and the severed limbs would regenerate. Furthermore, her vital areas seemed to be covered in golden steel plates; the bullets simply could not penetrate them!

Golden Pupil Yang Qin glanced around. If she were to kill all these Order Maintenance Personnel, Wu Hen would have already escaped far away.

She didn't want to waste any more time on this trash.

Thus, she ignored the bullets and headed straight in the direction Wu Hen had fled.

Wu Hen had already reached the main sports field.

In the buildings, a large number of students and teachers were pressed against the windows. They didn't know what was happening, only that the gunfire was intense and something terrifying must have appeared.

But then, a golden centipede-woman crawled across the football field in full view of everyone, climbing onto the podium. Rows of boys and girls were so terrified they began to foam at the mouth...

What on earth is that!!

Have aliens finally occupied Earth??

How could there be such an ugly and terrifying half-human, half-insect creature...

Moreover, the students from Wu Hen's class recognized that golden, sinister face at a glance. Isn't that Yang Qin???

On the field, Wu Hen was still sprinting. His speed had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person, yet he still couldn't shake off Yang Qin and her dozen-plus legs!

For the past two and a half years, Yang Qin, as his classmate, had been meticulously pursuing Wu Hen. Who would have thought that even in this apocalyptic era, this scene would still be playing out across the entire school...

It was just that the style had become a bit deranged. Wu Hen was still the same handsome and dashing Wu Hen, but Yang Qin was no longer that Yang Qin!

"Wu Hen! Die, die, die!!"

"I will carefully select every part of your body and eat them over a hundred days!"

As a half-human, she naturally carried a portion of the original owner's resentment!

Yang Qin was not only furious that Wu Hen had ruined her plans, but also enraged that he had known her identity from the start, yet had ignored her completely back in the Evil City.

After that, she even treated herself like a maid, taking on all the dirty and exhausting work.

Now that she was no longer who she used to be, even if she hadn't conquered this human territory, she was determined to hack Wu Hen into pieces today!!

Finally, Wu Hen stopped running.

This massive playground was indeed spacious enough.

Feeling the gaze of a thousand eyes from the surrounding buildings, Wu Hen's brain suddenly short-circuited for some reason.

No man could refuse the urge to show off under the spotlight of the entire school.

Therefore, Wu Hen displayed an unprecedented sense of calm and composure as he faced the half-human leader who had brought terror to the entire school.

"I originally wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person..." Wu Hen began with his signature line.

Most of the students still remembered this sentence; it was the classic quote Wu Hen used when he dropped out of school.

"But for the safety of my fellow students, I, Wu Hen, can no longer hide my true self..."

"That's right, I am humanity's last Order Keeper."

"From now on, please address me as—Lord Wu Hen!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Wu Hen raised his left hand, which was surging with endless divine power. On the tough skin of his left arm, a Black Miracle Death Sword suddenly emerged. The light radiating from the death sword surpassed the sun in the sky, brilliant to the extreme!

If the heavens did not give birth to me, the great Wu Hen, the path of showing off would be as long as an eternal night!

"Sword!"

Wu Hen spat out this word with domineering aura. At the same time, gale winds howled above the sky, and restless thunder crackled, threatening to shatter the firmament!

The next word was already on the tip of his tongue.

But suddenly, the Black Miracle Death Sword on his left hand vanished at an incredible speed, causing the extremely turbulent aura in the surroundings to fade away in an instant!

The sword... it ran away? It just left?

What are you doing, foster father??

I've already built up this momentum to the heavens, and you pull this stunt on me???

"The truly powerful beings in the Desolate Dust hide behind the scenes..."

Suddenly, this parting advice from his aunt surfaced in Wu Hen's mind!

Could it be...

There's an even greater expert??

The Holy Father must not manifest at this moment!

Understood!

I was indeed being too sensitive.

Yang Qin hadn't even touched a hair on my head, yet I was already prepared to open the Heavenly Gate. That certainly didn't follow the proper process, nor would it provide any real improvement to my combat experience.

"Then, Qilin Arm, Qilin Spike, Qilin Shield..."

Wu Hen withdrew his overly powerful left hand and slowly raised his right arm instead.

This power was already in perfect sync with his will; it wouldn't fail him halfway through.

Soon, his entire arm took on a noble Silver Frost hue. Elegant yet sharp cold spikes extended from his palm, and his entire body was shielded by a faint, crystalline translucent layer. With just a single thought from Wu Hen, it would transform into a solid Silver Radiance Shield Helmet!

"Hmph, Yang Qin, I knew long ago that you were no pushover."

"I want you to help me cultivate!"

Wu Yingting had said that the process of battling and fighting against Desolate Dust creatures would earn the favor of spiritual perception.

If one wants to become stronger, such hand-to-hand combat is essential!

"Kill!"

With a roar, Wu Hen charged head-on toward the golden, half-human Yang Qin.

In a peaceful era, this display of courage would surely have sent all the female students and teachers into a frenzy of screams.

On the playground, two figures—one silver, one gold—clashed.

The silver figure was extremely agile, dodging perfectly through the numerous fungal blades, finding the opponent's weak points from time to time to deliver precise and swift strikes!

The golden armor on her torso, which bullets could not penetrate, was easily pierced by Wu Hen's Qilin Spike, which even released massive amounts of silver lightning to kill off a portion of the fungal tissue inside her body.

The golden body was evil and demonic. Despite having the slender torso of a woman, it was covered in various fangs, willow-blades, limbs, and scorpion pincers, as if she were a female corpse demon crawled out of an ancient divine tomb.

She possessed a bewitching, noble golden face, yet it was pieced together with strange, deformed, and hideous parts. For a moment, it was impossible to tell which side was her true face!

The golden fungi within her grew and changed at an incredibly fast speed. When fighting Wu Hen at close range, she felt like an immortal, viscous fluid; no matter how powerful the destructive force that entered her body, it only caused her to deform briefly, unable to truly kill her!

"Boom!!!!"

Dirt and stones flew across the playground as Wu Hen was sent flying by a heavy swipe from Yang Qin's forelimbs.

Fortunately, the Silver Radiance Mysterious Silk transformed into a shield in time, blocking his chest. Otherwise, Wu Hen would have been sliced in two.

Wu Hen rolled backward and quickly stood up.

Standing over a dozen meters away, Wu Hen watched Yang Qin, who looked like a golden celestial demon, and began to think calmly.

I can't find the location of its Pupil Worm. I've basically tried every part of its body. Wu Hen thought to himself.

Whether it was the white Insect-Eyed Half-Human, the silver Insect-Eyed Half-Human, or the golden Insect-Eyed Half-Human, they all had to have a core location.

For the white ones, it was fixed in the eye socket.

For the silver ones, it existed within an organ or tissue in the body, wriggling whenever they exerted great power.

So, what about the golden one?

After several exchanges, Wu Hen hadn't noticed anything unusual about Yang Qin's body.

As for Yang Qin's tongue, which resembled golden wire, Wu Hen had already tested it; even cutting it off entirely had no effect on her.

So, where exactly was it?

This wouldn't work. If he kept fighting like this, it would be impossible to kill Yang Qin.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!!!!!!"

Bullets suddenly rained down from all directions, all of them striking the half-human Yang Qin.

"Fire! Keep firing!" The female Order Maintenance Personnel stood on high ground, shouting orders to her subordinates.

At this moment, the Order Maintenance Personnel were scattered around the playground. Some were mounted on guns, some were crouching, and others were standing firm. A dense hail of bullets flew into the playground, shredding all of Yang Qin's dozen or so soft legs!

Some of the bullets landed on Yang Qin's torso.

Unlike before, when they had hit like steel plates, these bullets were actually embedding themselves into her flesh.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a bullet struck Yang Qin's face, hitting the noble Golden Silk Mask!

It still sounded like it had hit hard steel, and Yang Qin's face remained uninjured, but she turned her cold gaze toward the Order Maintenance Personnel who had hit her in the face...

The Golden Silk Mask??

Is there a possibility that the mask itself is the fully formed Pupil Worm???

Or perhaps it can no longer be called a Pupil Worm; it should be a Golden Face Worm!!
