Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 229 The Locust Demon Prince!

"Hahaha!" The Locust Demon Prince laughed loudly, his laughter full of sarcasm: "A mere old Taoist priest at the third realm dares to presume to comment on my plans?"

Before he finished speaking, the golden locust on the left side of his chest suddenly flapped its wings and let out a sharp cry.

The sound wasn't loud, but it pierced straight to the soul. Several of the weaker prodigies turned pale and swayed.

"Watch out!" Yan Liyuan shouted in a low voice, and with a wave of his ruler, a golden light screen unfolded in front of everyone, blocking the sound waves.

Master Mu's expression remained unchanged, but he tightened his grip on his cane.

"Everyone!!!" Zhu Ge's voice came from below, not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears: "This Locust Demon Prince has the combat power of three Great Beings: himself, and the two locusts on his chest."

"But he is only a Great One after all! There are more than a dozen Third Realm geniuses here. If they join forces, they may not be unable to fight him."

Zhu Ge knew these geniuses were arrogant and proud, and he didn't want the Locust Demon Prince to escape.

If it were an ordinary enemy, it wouldn't be a big deal if they escaped.

However, after listening to what Master Mu said, this Locust Demon Prince was no ordinary strongman.

Such cunning enemies are the most terrifying.

"You make it sound so easy!" Su Feibai scoffed. "Can one 'great man' be the same as another? He's royalty!"

"So what if they're royalty?" Guan Julang rolled his eyes. "Aren't we all geniuses here? If we can't beat them, can't we at least run away? Besides, it's not like we're being asked to fight head-on. Doesn't Zhu Ge have an array?"

All eyes turned to Zhu Ge below.

Zhu Ge stood at the mouth of the valley, his Purgatory Star Staff resting on the ground, his robes fluttering in the wind.

His face was somewhat pale, but his eyes remained sharp.

"The Fungal God Annihilation Array can be used once more," Zhu Ge shouted.

once?

Who believes?

Everyone knew perfectly well that Zhu Ge was talking nonsense at this moment.

It could be once, it could be three times, or it could be countless times.

They all knew this, let alone the Locust Demon Prince.

However, what is false can be made real, and what is real can be made false.

As soon as Zhu Ge speaks, as long as the great formation is not used, the Locust Demon Prince will be somewhat wary and will not get too close to the Six Paths Valley.

At this moment, Yan Liyuan stepped forward, the golden light on his ruler shining brightly: "Gentlemen, what are you waiting for?"

"What are you waiting for? Attack!" Guan Julang was the first to rush out.

With a wave of her hand, countless water needles appeared out of thin air, pouring down on the Locust Demon Prince like a torrential rain.

Su Feibai followed closely behind, his jade longsword unleashing a blade of light tens of feet long, tearing the air apart wherever it passed.

Other prodigies also made their moves.

A scholar wielded his brush, and golden characters appeared in the air, transforming into chains that coiled around the Locust Demon Prince.

The wooden Taoist slammed his cane down, and a dark green vine burst forth from the ground, coiling like a giant python around the Locust Demon Prince's legs.

More than a dozen geniuses of the third realm attacked at the same time, creating a tremendous spectacle.

The Locust Demon Prince merely sneered.

The locust on the left side of his chest flapped its wings, and a golden light curtain unfolded in front of him.

Water needles, blades, golden chains, dark green vines—all the attacks crashed into the light barrier, vanishing without a trace, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.

"Is that all you've got?" The Locust Demon Prince extended his right hand and flicked his index finger.

A golden light flew from his fingertips, heading straight for Guan Julang.

Guan Julang's expression changed, and she retreated hastily. But the golden light was incredibly fast, and it was about to strike her between the eyebrows.

"clang!"

A ruler flew through the air, blocking the golden light. Yan Liyuan withdrew the ruler, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood flowed freely.

"Be careful, his power far surpasses that of an ordinary Great Master," Yan Liyuan said in a deep voice.

At the same time, the Locust Demon Prince clasped his hands together, and the two locusts on his chest flapped their wings, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

The swarm of insects behind them surged out like a tide, covering the sky and rushing towards the group of geniuses.

"A mere trick." The wooden Taoist snorted coldly and slammed his cane on the ground.

A dark green light shield rose from the ground, enveloping everyone within it.

The Gu worms crashed into the light shield and fell down, but there were too many of them. The light shield was soon covered with Gu worms and cracks began to appear.

"It won't last long," Mu Daoren frowned.

"That's enough," Zhu Ge's voice rang out again.

Everyone looked down and saw Zhu Ge sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the valley, his hands forming a hand seal.

Behind him, in the six valleys, countless white mycelia surged from the ground, like giant pythons, swirling towards the swarm of insects in the air.

Wherever the mycelium passes, the worms are entangled and crushed.

The Great Array for the Annihilation of the Fungal God has been activated once again!

This time, Zhu Ge didn't use it to trap the enemy, but to clear the field.

White mycelium danced in the sky, like a blooming white lotus or a giant spider web.

Each mycelium precisely wraps around a Gu worm, then shreds it.

The corpses of the Gu worms fell like rain, covering the ground in a thick layer.

After killing a swarm of Gu worms, the Fungus God's Annihilation Array ceased its operations.

Zhu Ge's face was pale. He took a deep breath and then sat cross-legged. His martial arts heart pounded violently, showing signs of extreme exhaustion.

It's all used up in one go!

Upon seeing this, all the prodigies launched their attacks, focusing all their efforts on the Locust Demon Prince.

The Locust Demon Prince looked disdainful but ignored Zhu Ge, instead waving his hand to block the attacks from the crowd and sneering as he reached out to grab Yan Liyuan.

Yan Liyuan tossed out an inkstone, in which a trace of ink remained.

Top spiritual level!

"Snap!"

However, in just a moment, the Locust Demon Prince shattered the inkstone with a single claw.

The strongest person present was Yan Liyuan, so it was obvious that the Locust Demon Prince wanted to kill Yan Liyuan first.

Just then, Zhu Ge opened her eyes, and a mycelium shot up, blocking Yan Liyuan and the Locust Demon Prince.

"Pfft."

The mycelium broke, and Yan Liyuan took the opportunity to escape.

"This is the last time!" Zhu Ge screamed, blood spilling from his mouth, looking quite badly injured.

The Locust Demon Prince glanced down at the distance with an expressionless face, then looked away and turned to his next target.

However, just as he was about to kill his next target, a mycelium blocked his way again.

At the same time, all the prodigies turned their gazes to Zhu Ge, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Six Valleys, with strange expressions.

"I can't take it anymore! I'm completely drained!"

Zhu Ge let out a scream, fell backward, and looked as if he was about to die from his injuries and fall into a coma.

But this time, I can't fool anyone else.

Too cunning! Su Feibai withdrew his gaze, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

"So cunning! I love it!" Guan Julang licked his lips.

"The rites and music have collapsed, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!" Yan Liyuan said with a smile.

The assembled prodigies understood each other without saying a word, while the Locust Demon Prince's expression darkened.

"You scoundrel, how dare you play me?" The Locust Demon Prince sneered, and the spiritual energy in the sky suddenly began to surge.

"Since that's the case, then let's bury you all here!"
