Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 88 - 80: Vajra Suppresses the Gu Insects, Deathly Buzzing!

"Just in time!"

Seeing the Black Insect Elder with an expression as if he couldn't wait to drink blood and tear his flesh, Su Mu instead felt a calm settle in his heart.

The reason for killing the Insect Child right in front of the Black Insect Elder was precisely to completely enrage the old man before him. This way, the Black Insect Elder wouldn't think of running away or stalling for time, but would instead fight him to the death!

After stepping into this dense forest, Su Mu vaguely sensed something was wrong with his body, even though the time since his last dose of imitation antidote hadn't expired yet.

Today wasn't a rainy day either, but the Gu Poison within his body had flared up early.

Su Mu had no choice but to take another dose of the antidote ahead of time. On his way over, Su Mu had concluded that the Black Insect Elder was a rather cautious person.

If he were to retreat now, he would surely alert the enemy. The Black Insect Elder, knowing about 'Gu Poison', would most likely leave Black Bull Mountain, which was not what Su Mu wanted to see.

"I must take down the Black Insect Elder!"

In addition, the Black Insect Elder seemed to have mastered some advanced technique for hiding his presence, and his body technique was not bad either. Since there was a problem with Su Mu himself, he naturally didn't want to get bogged down, but wanted a swift and decisive battle.

Finally, Su Mu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but when the Black Insect Elder heard his name, a look of both murderous intent and surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, as if he recognized him?

But Su Mu knew very well that if not for this bounty, he wouldn't even know there was such a person as the Black Insect Elder in the world.

"Whether that's true or not, I'll take down the Black Insect Elder and ask him myself!"

Mad Snake Saber Technique!

Sssssss—

The hunched, hair-scattered Black Insect Elder pounced toward Su Mu like a sinister viper, slashing with a pitch-black curved saber radiating a chilling aura.

In a single breath, he slashed a dozen times, the saber light like a dozen venomous snakes biting with speed, cunning and viciousness, each stroke aiming for the lower body and vital points.

Faced with the viper's strike, Su Mu's eyes flickered. After his comprehension advanced from Instant-Insight Level to Hidden-Dragon Level, even a sudden rainstorm fell in his eyes as distinct droplets of water pearls.

The viper-like curved saber in the old man's hand also slowed into a dozen decomposed moves in Su Mu's focused gaze, to the point where even the next blade path could be anticipated.

In an instant, Su Mu identified the flaw within.

So, under the stunned gaze of the Black Insect Elder, Su Mu broke all conventions. His hand grasped the Zen Staff with one arm, drawing power from his waist, infusing the staff with immense power.

The Zen Staff instantly transformed into a Great Spear in his hand. In the next moment, the long spear surged forth like a flood dragon bursting from the sea.

Rainstorm Spear Technique: Hundred Waterfalls Fall!

The nine-ringed Zen Staff spun at high speed, suddenly emitting a chilling metallic vibration. Then the sound of waterfall torrents loomed—the spear thrust straight at the poisonous viper targeting his lower body.

Clang!

The nine-ringed Zen Staff collided hard with the curved saber. The Black Insect Elder was clearly caught off guard; the force of the saber froze, and his expression changed to one of shock and anger.

"Damn you, that's a spear technique!"

Su Mu did not reply, his wrist flicked and he thrust again. The second spear, then the third, came one after another; for a time, the sound of waterfalls roared undiminished across the battlefield.

The Torrential Rain Spear Technique had spears pouring down like a violent storm; once dragged into the rainstorm, it was difficult to escape. Now that his spear technique had advanced to Perfection, and with the boost of Second Bone Forging and even greater power,

This spear technique in Su Mu's hands was far more powerful than when he had faced Zhou Tiande. Wanting a quick decisive battle, Su Mu opened with the strongest killing move of the Rainstorm Spear, and unleashed it continuously.

Clang clang clang!

Their exchanges were blindingly fast, afterimages flashing, as metallic explosions rang throughout the dense forest.

Su Mu pressed step by step. The murderous intent on the Black Insect Elder's face now turned to humiliation and panic. If he hadn't been unable to sense 'Tendon Power' from this Li Feiyu before him, he would never have believed this was merely an Eighth Grade Bone Forging opponent.

The Zen Staff in Su Mu's hand transmitted waves of divine power weighing thousands of catties, shaking the Black Insect Elder's arms numb and sore, forcing him back step by step. If not for Third Bone Forging, it could have meant his arms breaking directly.

The Black Insect Elder also sharply realized that Su Mu was wielding Transforming Force, but what frustrated him most was that he could also recognize that this Li Feiyu's spear technique was unmistakably a South Border Gun Skill!

"You... that's... South Border Gun Skill?!"

To use the South Border Gun Skill against him, a Gu Master from the Southern Border, was pure humiliation—and the opponent wasn't even using a spear!

"Ah, damn it, Li Feiyu, you deserve to die!"

As a Gu Master, the Black Insect Elder was never adept at direct confrontations, let alone when an inch of reach meant an inch of strength—a spear is king of all weapons!

To break a spear with a single saber stroke was far from easy.

At this point, the Black Insect Elder abandoned counterattack, held his curved saber before his chest, and took advantage of a spear thrust to flash away with extreme speed, though that blow had already cost him—he felt the bones of his left arm had cracked.

The Black Insect Elder's heart shuddered. Continuing to take on this 'Innate Divine Power' monster head-on was unwise; he realized he had let hatred get to his head.

Once abruptly clear-headed, he saw through the opponent's ploy. Instantly he drew out a Copper Bell engraved with a dozen types of Gu Insects and shook it.

Ding!

Though it was merely a bell sound, it carried a note of eerie strangeness.

"Jie jie jie, my darlings, come out and tear him apart for me!"

The Black Insect Elder's hunched body suddenly stilled, like a cobra king poised to strike, then spread his arms, and something writhed wildly beneath his sleeves.

The wide sleeves flared.

Buzz!

In no time, hundreds—thousands—of red bees shot forth, each several times larger than a normal honeybee, more ferocious, more monstrous, swarming like a scarlet cloud descending from above.
