BZZZ!
Almost simultaneously, both Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi activated the amplification effect of their Battle Armor.
The human and the beast both activated a two-fold amplification.
The Divine Thought Cage expanded in the blink of an eye, blocking the Spiritual Shock.
But immediately after, a blast of the Power of Heaven and Earth, summoned by Mu Hong and the other elder, came crashing down again.
BOOM!
The Divine Thought Cage shattered in an instant. The human and the mosquito were forced to retreat several hundred meters to barely evade the Attack!
Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi exchanged a look.
âIt seems we definitely canât beat these two with ordinary tactics!â
Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth and said coldly:
"Stupid mosquito, weâre going with the plan!"
Chu Sheng:
"Bzzz bzzz!"
That was right. Since Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had dared to come, they had already anticipated how to deal with the Mu Family Elders.
Suddenly,
the Battle Armor on Chu Sheng began to glow even more intensely than before!
Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, Fifth Gear mode, activated!
However, while Fifth Gear mode consumed far less power than tenth gear mode, the drain was still immense! If Chu Sheng activated Fifth Gear, he could generally only maintain it for about three minutes.
Tenth gear lasted less than three seconds.
Fifth Gear lasted less than three minutes.
âThe duration is too short. What can we do?â
This was where Gu Yuexi, the star support, came in!
When Gu Yuexiâs Life Realm was cast on Chu Sheng, it could drastically reduce the consumption of the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, making him last much longer!
This method was actually Gu Yuexiâs idea, as it was what she usually did when wearing her own Empress Battle Armor.
Furthermore, in addition to the Life Realm, Gu Yuexi could also imbue him with other Realm Powers, further boosting Chu Shengâs combat strength!
On top of that, Chu Shengâs own Realm Comprehension for various Realms had also greatly improved!
Therefore, at this moment,
while Chu Shengâs combat power wasnât as ridiculous as it was in tenth gear, it had already steadily surpassed the five-fold boost of Fifth Gear!
Feeling the powerful, surging energy within him, Chu Sheng let out a contented buzz. Then, his aura shifted, and he charged toward Mu Hong!
SWISH!
Halfway through his charge, Chu Shengâs dark figure suddenly vanished, replaced by a series of massive Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers!
Each of these Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers was condensed from fifty Little Flame Feathers. Boosted by the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, every single one was powerful enough to instantly kill a Peak Sixth-Grade master!
Naturally, they were also enough of a threat to Mu Hong, who was in the Seventh-Grade Realm.
Mu Hong snorted coldly. He thrust out a single hand, gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth, and instantly destroyed the Flaming Feather Blades.
But in the next second, Chu Sheng had already appeared behind him!
Mu Hong reacted extremely quickly. Sensing Chu Shengâs appearance, he didnât even think before blasting a Spiritual Shock over!
Chu Sheng paid it no mind. Instead, he closed his eyes as a shield similar to the Divine Thought Cage appeared around him, blocking the Attack for him.
Immediately after, Chu Shengâs closed eyes snapped open again, now a terrifying crimson!
"Amaterasu!"
The moment he saw Chu Sheng open his eyes, Mu Hong instinctively sensed danger and subconsciously threw his arm up to shield his chest.
Almost instantly, his arm was engulfed in black flames. An excruciating pain shot through his entire body in that moment!
"Dammit, what is this stuff!"
Mu Hong instinctively tried to smother the flames on his arm, only to find they were impossible to extinguish. In just a few moments, his arm was almost charred to a crisp!
"AHHHHHH!"
Mu Hong screamed in agony. Gritting his teeth, he chopped off his own arm with a palm strike. The look he gave Chu Sheng was now filled with even more madness!
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the battlefield, Mu Wei wasnât idle either.
As an Array Master, he quickly discovered the connection between Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng. He snorted coldly and launched an Attack directly at Gu Yuexi!
The two fronts of the battle unfolded simultaneously.
Chu Sheng had already gained the upper hand, but Gu Yuexi, who was no match for a Seventh Grade Middle Stage expert to begin with, was now in danger as she had to simultaneously apply various Realm Auras to Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng noticed this and immediately let out a buzz!
Instantly, the tens of thousands of Insect Beasts that had been swarming the ship changed their target, turning to help Gu Yuexi attack Mu Wei.
The Mu Family disciples were mostly dead already; there was no need for so many Insect Beasts to hunt them down!
Seeing this, Gu Yuexi once again channeled her Mental Power, applying several Realm buffs to all the Insect Beasts!
At this moment, the great Empress had transformed into the most powerful support imaginable, a single person healing and buffing tens of thousands of beasts!
With the support of tens of thousands of Insect Beasts, Gu Yuexiâs side of the fight quickly turned the tables!
âAs expected of the Beast Taming Empress, so awesome!â
Chu Sheng watched this unfold, marveling inwardly, while simultaneously focusing even more intently on dealing with Mu Hong.
With Gu Yuexiâs support, he could completely ignore Mu Hongâs various Spiritual Shocks and just focus on an all-out offense!
After so long, the human and the beast were once again in perfect coordination.
...
BOOM!
A few minutes later.
Mu Hongâs entire body was a gruesome mess, a blur of mangled flesh and blood.
He stared at Chu Sheng before him, his body swaying. Suddenly, he turned and fled at extreme speed!
âHeâs trying to run?!â
Yes. After several minutes of fighting, Mu Hong had fallen further and further behind. He was on his last legs.
If he kept fighting, he would die.
He didnât want to die!
At this point, he couldnât care less about the Mu Family disciples; his only thought was to survive. Aided by a special Escape Technique Secret Technique, his figure vanished into the vast darkness of the night almost instantly.
However, when faced with Chu Sheng, who possessed both the map-hack-like Nether Vision and an Instant Teleportation Ability...
choosing to run would only lead to an even more miserable end.
Over the vast, dark sea, Mu Hong flew at an incredible speed.
Suddenly, he felt an itch on his neck and subconsciously reached up to scratch it.
âWhereâs my hand?â
Mu Hong tried to raise his arm, only to make the absurd discovery that he couldnât complete the action.
âWait, I chopped one arm off just now, but I should still have the other one, right?â
He looked down, and in that instant, an extreme terror rapidly crystallized in his mind!
He didnât just have no hands; he had no body either.
He turned his head in horror and was shocked to see his own body, left far behind, falling toward the sea.
âI...â
âIs... is my head chopped off?â
This was the last thought Mu Hong had time to form. In the next second, what little consciousness he had left was shattered.
Mu Hong was dead.
His head fell limply, only to be caught by Chu Sheng, who had appeared out of thin air.
Then, he vanished into the night.
...
After Mu Hongâs death.
Mu Wei found it even harder to hold on by himself and was soon killed by Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi as well.
The vast expanse of the sea suddenly fell silent.
Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi deactivated their Battle Armor and landed on the Mu Familyâs ship.
The ship was littered with the gruesome corpses of Mu Family disciples. The Spirit-Devouring Worms had searched every corner, even the water beneath the hull.
Not a single person survived.
The people were all killed.
Next, there was something even more important to do.
All of the Mu Familyâs core resourcesânot a single item could be left behind!
...
...
...
ăHong Kong Island.ă
ăViyar Port.ă
"Gu Yuexi" and "Chu Sheng" desperately dodged Mu Xiongâs attacks, having been forced into a corner.
Gu Yuexiâs body was covered in wounds and soaked in blood.
One of Chu Shengâs wings was also broken.
Behind them stood a group of Mu Family Elders.
And before them stood Mu Xiong, a savage, triumphant grin on his face.
"Heh heh, Gu Yuexi, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"Look at you now. Do you still have any of the grace of the Future Empress?"
"Heh heh, and you, you damn mosquito. An Emperor-level Bloodline? Bah!"
"Youâll still die at the hands of my Mu Family!"
Mu Xiong spoke as he closed in, step by step.
Seeing the wretched state of Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng as they fled in panic just moments ago brought him immense satisfaction.
And now, he had decided to put an end to it all.
"Gu Yuexi, today, I will use your head as a sacrifice for YuanâEr!"
As his voice fell, he struck without hesitation!
BOOM!
His powerful Mental Power mobilized the majestic Power of Heaven and Earth, which came crashing down.
The bodies of the human and the mosquito were torn to shreds on the spot by the immense force.
Gu Yuexi, dead.
Chu Sheng, dead.
