Battle Against the White Bone Worms

As soon as Song Wen opened his mouth, a chilling scene unfolded.

A large number of tiny gray insects, their wings fluttering, flew out of Song Wen's mouth, so densely packed that it sent chills down one's spine.

The appearance of more than sixty Black-Bellied Beetle Gu instantly reduced the pressure on Song Wen, and the White Bone Worm around him began to decrease rapidly.

Although the White Bone Worm is not very large, it is much larger than the Beetle Gu.

With its small size, the Beetle Gu has a significant advantage against opponents like the White Bone Worm, which relies solely on Law Technique.

The Beetle Gu are small and agile, making them difficult for the White Bone Worm to hit.

The Beetle Gu also lacks Law Technique abilities, but their small bodies make it easy for them to find the weak points in the abdomen of the White Bone Worm and launch an attack.

To avoid excessive mental energy depletion, Song Wen gave the attack order to the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu and then ignored them.

He began to focus on dealing with the powerful White Bone Worm. The Black-Bellied Beetle Gu was still a bit weak, making it difficult to kill those White Bone Worm at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

A cloud of blood mist rose from Song Wen's body.

Blood-Burning Secret Art Blood Sacrifice Technique!

This was the first time he had used the Blood Sacrifice Technique against an enemy.

His aura surged instantly, and he quickly broke through the Qi Refining Middle Stage, reaching the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Moreover, there was a faint indication that he was about to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

The Bone-Slicing Knife, trailing a crimson mist, slashed at a White Bone Worm at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

"Thump!"

The White Bone Worm flew back, a crack appearing on its hard, white bone shell. Powerful force penetrated through the crack, seeping into the White Bone Worm's body and shredding its internal organs.

A huge nick appeared on the Bone-Slicing Knife, which pained Song Wen.

This Bone-Slicing Knife had been with him for over two years, and he found it quite handy to use when dissecting corpses. He never expected it to break here today.

Song Wen put the Bone-Slicing Knife into his Storage Bag, intending to go back and see if he could find a way to repair it.

At this moment, he discovered that the Corpse Puppet was no longer viable. Its body was torn and tattered by the bites of the White Bone Ghost, and it looked as if it might fall apart at any moment. He had no choice but to put the Corpse Puppet into his Corpse-Nurturing Bag.

The sudden burst of Blood Qi emanating from Song Wen attracted all the nearby White Bone Worm.

Relying on the powerful cultivation unleashed by the Blood Sacrifice Technique, the formidable physical body cultivated through the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art and the Myriad Poisons Primordial Body, he used his sharp fingernails as weapons to engage in close-quarters combat with the White Bone Worm.

In about half an hour, Song Wen had cleared away most of the White Bone Worm in the surrounding area.

The White Bone Worm that were still surrounding him were no longer able to restrict his movements, and he could take the opportunity to escape.

During the battle, he also discovered a peculiar phenomenon: after killing the White Bone Worm, the Black-Bellied Beetle Gu would burrow into the White Bone Worm's body and devour a transparent crystal the size of a grain of rice inside.

Seeing that the Beetle Gu was actively eating the crystals, Song Wen guessed that this should be something that would help the Beetle Gu evolve. He also took the opportunity to collect a lot of White Bone Worm corpses for future use in cultivating Beetle Gu.

Song Wen had no idea what the transparent crystal was, but he was certain it was not a demon core from Demon Beast.

It is absolutely impossible for Beetle Gu with only Qi Refining Qi Refinement to condense an inner core that only a third-tier Demon Beast can possess.

After a fierce battle, not a single Black-Bellied Armor Gu escaped unscathed; more than a dozen had perished in the bites of the White Bone Worm Black-Bellied Armor Gu.

Sudden!

Two White Bone Worm at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer leaped high into the air and lunged at Song Wen.

Song Wen formed his palms into claws, channeling all his strength to grab at the two White Bone Worm.

The two White Bone Worm had five holes torn in their bodies and died on the spot.

Song Wen's hands trembled slightly, his fingers ached terribly, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly by the immense force of the two White Bone Worm.

Just then, another Qi Refining Sixth Layer White Bone Worm jumped out and crashed into Song Wen's chest.

Unable to retract his hands to defend himself, Song Wen could only activate the Ghost Head Shield to block the White Bone Worm.

Although the Ghost Head Shield blocked the attack of the White Bone Worm, Song Wen, who was already retreating, was sent flying by the immense force transmitted from the Ghost Head Shield.

The collision with the White Bone Worm did not injure Song Wen; instead, it gave him the opportunity to jump out of the White Bone Worm's encirclement.

Immediately, the Blood Qi emanating from his body intensified.

Blood-Burning Secret Art, <Blood Escape Technique>!

If other disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect knew that someone had not only cultivated the Blood Sacrifice Technique and the Blood Escape Technique simultaneously, but also used them at the same time, they would definitely call him a 'fool' or a 'madman'.

That's really reckless! How much Essence Blood do you have to burn? You'll probably die from Qi and Blood after just a dozen breaths.

Song Wen himself felt that his Qi and Blood were somewhat depleted. He used the Blood Sacrifice Technique to fight with all his might, and the speed at which his Essence Blood were consumed far exceeded his expectations.

He took out a jade bottle from his Storage Bag and poured the contents directly into his mouth.

The jade bottle contained the Essence Blood he had stolen from the Corpse Dissection Cave. He had prepared ten bottles of Essence Blood for himself for this trip.

After consuming three bottles of Essence Blood in succession, his body was once again full of Essence Blood.

Song Wen had the Beetle Gu fully block the White Bone Worm, while he found an opening and used the <Blood Escape Technique> to pass directly through the swarm of worms attacking him. At the same time, he summoned the Beetle Gu back.

Beyond the swarm of insects, only scattered White Bone Worm remained ahead.

At this moment, Song Wen was still using the Blood Sacrifice Technique. With his cultivation level approaching the peak of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he was also using the Blood Escape Technique, which was more than twice as fast as when he used the Blood Escape Technique alone.

To maximize his speed, he also put a Swift Movement Talisman on his body.

Using his swift Movement Method, Song Wen dodged the attacks of these scattered Beetle Gu and did not engage in prolonged combat with them.

Soon, he saw Xuan Ye ahead, as well as Zi Yi and Lao Chun at the very front. The two in Zi Yi were almost at the fork in the cave.

Whether it was Xuan Ye, Zi Yi, or Lao Chun, they were all surrounded by a number of White Bone Worm.

Song Wen pressed himself against the cave wall, going all out. To the astonishment of Xuan Ye and Zi Yi, he charged straight through at a terrifying speed almost comparable to that of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Occasionally, scattered White Bone Worm would attack Song Wen, but he ignored them, enduring the attacks with his powerful physique and close-fitting Purple Qilin Armor.

Seeing Song Wen rush out of the side path and head towards the direction of the Sky Cicada Wood, Zi Yi panicked. If one person escaped, there would be one less person to share the pressure brought by the White Bone Worm, and there would be even more White Bone Worm attacking them.

We must escape as soon as possible, at least before Xuan Ye.

Zi Yi exerted all her control over the Corpse Puppet, trying to unleash its maximum power.

However, with her cultivation level, controlling Corpse Puppet at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer was consuming spiritual energy too quickly, and the spiritual energy in her body was already less than 30%.

"Senior sister, why don't you escape alone? I'll stay here and hold off the White Bone Worm," Lao Chun suddenly said.

The Zi Yi shook her head and said resolutely, "No, we came together, so we'll leave together!"

Feeling the care from his senior, Lao Chun was energized and suddenly became highly motivated.

"Okay, senior sister, let's rush out together."
