Gu Insects That Came and Went Like Ghosts

All five could sense that Yan Feng still possessed residual lightning power, and that Extreme Yin was clearly a demon cultivator.

As is well known, demon cultivators cannot control the power of heavenly lightning. In other words, the method by which Extreme Yin killed Yan Feng was not Extreme Yin's own power, but rather the use of an external object.

Extreme Yin was able to defeat Yan Feng with lightning, presumably by using some special Law Treasure.

These special Law Treasure are mostly limited and cannot be used an unlimited number of times; otherwise, Extreme Yin wouldn't have been chased and forced to flee.

Therefore, if the five of them were to attack Extreme Yin without regard for the cost, they would have a great chance of killing him, but someone would certainly die as a result.

They had initially thought that hunting Extreme Yin would be an easy task, but now they might face death, which made them somewhat fearful and hesitant.

"Extreme Yin must die. If he lives and brings the news of our Yan Family's betrayal back to the Corpse Demon Sect, then there will be no chance of any member of the Yan Family surviving."

After a brief silence, one of them spoke.

The other four people also woke up with a start.

Yes, Extreme Yin must die. If he doesn't, the entire Yan Family will perish.

"Collect Yan Feng's body. Let's continue the pursuit of Extreme Yin. Extreme Yin killed Yan Feng, so the price he paid won't be small either. He shouldn't have gone far."

"Good..."

A man in gray squatted down and reached out to touch Yan Feng's body, preparing to put it into his Storage Bag.

Sudden!

Several small gray insects flew up from Yan Feng's corpse and pounced directly at his face.

The two were too close, and the insect was moving extremely fast, like lightning.

The man in gray was completely unprepared. He had no idea that danger lurked on Yan Feng's corpse. Before he could react, the insects pounced on his face.

Then these tiny insects burrowed into his brain through his nasal cavity.

Startled, the man in gray instinctively sprang to his feet, shouting, "Oh no, an ambush!"

Things happened so fast that the other four hadn't even figured out what was going on before they asked questions.

"Fifth brother, what's wrong?"

"Something has burrowed into my brain," the gray-clad man replied, his expression filled with terror.

He could sense five small insects crawling along the openings in his brain toward his brain, but he didn't know what to do.

How can we expel these worms from his body without damaging his brain?

"What exactly is it?" one person asked with concern.

"Insect."

"Insects?" one person said anxiously, "Since they're just insects, can't we use spiritual power to force them out?"

"Can't be forced out."

The man in gray shook his head, clearly having already tried.

These insects were quite powerful. He channeled all his spiritual energy to pressure them, but he could only slow them down. He couldn't completely imprison them, let alone force them out of his body.

"Ah..."

The man in gray suddenly clutched his head with both hands, collapsed to the ground, and screamed in agony, his cries heart-wrenching.

Hearing the gray-clad man's pitiful cries, the other four felt a chill run down their spines.

Just as someone was about to step forward to check on the man in gray, another person said in a terrified voice.

"Could it be Gu Worm?!"

Upon hearing this, those who wanted to help immediately retreated, and all four of them took two steps back.

"Gu Worm!"

The four stared in disbelief at the gray-robed man groaning on the ground, unable to believe what they were hearing. How could an outer disciple of the Corpse Demon Sect Qi Refining Third Layer possibly cultivate Gu Worm?

Could he be a disciple of some powerful being?

Just when the four were unsure of what to do,

One person suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in the vulnerable area at the base of their thigh, as if someone had pierced the ventral part of their testicle with a steel nail.

He instinctively wanted to slap it, but then he hesitated, thinking about how fragile the two eggs were.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Shenque acupoint, as if Gu Worm had crawled into his abdomen through his navel.

Three others suffered the same fate as him; all three were attacked in their vulnerable spots by the elusive Gu Worm.

In an instant, cries of agony filled the air.

Although the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu is small in size, its cultivation level is genuinely at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

They had already burrowed into the cultivator's body, and under their full force, the physical body of Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivator was simply unable to withstand them.

The Black-Bellied Beetle Gu attacks any part of the body, leaving it a bloody mess; even the hardest human bones shatter with a single blow.

A moment later, the wailing stopped.

All five of them fell silent.

At this moment, Song Wen slowly emerged from the dense forest.

It turned out that he hadn't gone far at all; he had been hiding in the dense forest, using his mental power to observe the five people's movements and control the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu to attack them.

His mental strength was much stronger than the five people's, and the range he covered was also much farther. Therefore, he was able to monitor the five people in the dense forest without them noticing him.

After discovering the five people, he planned to ambush them using the Gu Worm.

He hid the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu in Yan Feng's corpse and the surrounding soil, using the remaining lightning power to conceal the Gu Worm's aura. Furthermore, the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu Beetle Gu was adept at concealing its presence, which is why the five people were Black-Bellied Beetle Gu unaware of its existence and were successfully ambushed.

After Song Wen used the Blood Escape Technique, his speed was much faster than the five people, which ensured his invincibility. This was his greatest confidence in daring to ambush the five people.

As he approached the five people, the more than twenty Black-Bellied Beetle Gu were still wriggling inside their bodies, feeding.

At this point, the Essence Blood, bone marrow, brain marrow, internal organs, and other organs rich in Spiritual Qi within the five corpses were almost depleted.

It's unclear how the tiny body of the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu managed to swallow these things.

Song Wen shook his head helplessly. He had originally planned to absorb the Essence Blood of these five people, but now it seemed that their corpses were no longer worth Essence Blood.

However, since the five people had just died and their souls had not yet left their bodies, they were excellent materials for cultivating the <Soul-Banishing Technique> and enhancing their spiritual power, so they could not be wasted.

After spending several dozen breaths, Song Wen devoured the souls of the five people, along with the Essence Blood and soul from Yan Feng's corpse, and then put the six corpses into his Storage Bag.

Song Wen turned and fled towards the location of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Before long, a large river blocked Song Wen's path.

The river is extremely wide, stretching for several miles. As far as the eye can see, it seems to have no end, with only the surging, yellow water visible.

Upon seeing this great river, Song Wen knew he was on the right track; this was the river he would have to cross to return to his sect.

Seeing this great river means he has already covered more than half the journey.

He looked up at the sky; the sun had already set, and it was getting dark. The surrounding trees were faintly visible and could no longer be seen clearly.

Song Wen took out a Flying Talisman, activated it, and rose into the air, floating towards the opposite bank of the river.

When he flew to the center of the river, he threw six corpses into it, and they were quickly swept away by the waves and disappeared without a trace.

Before the Flying Talisman expired, Song Wen found a crevice in the cliff and hid inside.

He did not intend to travel at night, firstly because his vision would be impaired at night, and secondly because traveling through this unfamiliar dense forest might pose unknown risks.

Furthermore, after his repeated escapes, his spiritual energy was nearly depleted, and he needed to meditate and regulate his breathing.
