Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Another Uncle Master Has Arrived

In a moment of lament, Nezha’s figure wavered mid-air.

He sensed the disturbance in the airflow and turned his head in confusion to look behind him.

He saw six strange birds circling over his head, their powerful wings altering even the direction of the wind.

The birds were bizarre because each had three heads and three pairs of claws.

"Three-headed and six-armed?"

Nezha raised an eyebrow; the birds circled even more frantically.

It turned out that beneath the floor of the Fir Forest lived a creature called the God-slaying Worm. Whenever it stirred, it disturbed the earth, and even a cultivator of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm entering it without mana was doomed to die.

The only responses were either to jump into the air or find a way to fly to the sky.

Accordingly, every time the God-slaying Worm moved, aerial predators would appear to hunt for those who slipped through the net. The people of Heavenly Termination Town called these birds Ghost Birds.

Not only were they strangely shaped, but they also moved through the sky like ghosts, not making even the slightest sound.

Before they could swoop down, Nezha reached behind with one hand and drew out the Qiankun Bow. He didn’t use the Sky-shattering Arrow, but instead took out a few Armor-Piercing Arrows, shooting them upwards. Drawing the bow six times in quick succession, he brought down all the Ghost Birds.

The Ghost Birds moved in tandem with the God-slaying Worm, but when they themselves fell into the massive whirlpool stirred up by the God-slaying Worm, they also became its food.

Riding the wind currents, Nezha slowly descended through the air, his gaze sharp as lightning, searching among the forest for those individuals from Purple Dragon Island.

In such a short time, they couldn’t have gone far.

Moreover, though the God-slaying Worm stirred greatly, its speed was not slow at all.

Nezha spotted them.

Apart from Gu Jianqing, whose whereabouts were unknown, Xiao Qi Perfected with a severed arm and the two female cultivators were leaping between tree tops, with the God-slaying Worm closely pursuing them, swallowing whole trees in its path, roots and all.

As for the two tall figures, they used their leg strength to run on the ground. Despite their size, they moved incredibly fast, covering great distances with each stride, much quicker than Usain Bolt in a sprint.

He drew his bow and set an arrow, but did not aim for Xiao Qi Perfected. Knowing the other’s vigilant state of mind, even without mana, this arrow wouldn’t kill him.

As a buzzing sound resonated, a white torrent appeared in the night sky—that was the path of the arrows, also known as the Arrow Path.

When the torrent appeared, the arrow had already shot through Shi Potian’s leg.

Nezha had chosen his timing well.

Just when Shi Potian was exerting force to step forward, his leg failed him, and he stumbled and fell.

A moment later, the churning ground grabbed him, and a giant serpent-like shadow burst from the ground and devoured him in one bite.

Nezha was surprised by the God-slaying Worm’s speed, yet his movements didn’t pause—he continuously shot two more arrows, both aimed at Shi Jingtian.

Shi Jingtian had already noticed Nezha.

A taciturn and stoic man, undistracted by his brother’s death, he pulled out an iron chain and from a dozen yards away snapped Nezha’s two arrows out of the air.

This skill certainly made Nezha regard him with new respect.

Though the spirit within the Qiankun Bow was dead and the runes on the bow had been damaged, the bow itself was still one of the hardest in the world. From this distance, the arrows would reach their target almost instantly upon release.

Even Nezha himself could never react and counter based on reflex and speed alone.

This only shows, after preparing defenses, the opponent had anticipated the arrow’s trajectory and the exact moment to strike.

"Looking like a simple big guy, yet possessing such quick wits."

In this delay, the God-slaying Worm arrived at Shi Jingtian’s feet!

Shi Jingtian’s eyes flashed as he climbed a big tree beside him like a brown bear. Before reaching the top, the tree fell down, and then he jumped onto another nearby tree.

Yet, while still in mid-air, a huge dark shadow surged upward. With a mouth full of sharp teeth like a meat grinder, it snapped shut and left only a cloud of bursting blood mist in the air.

The dark shadow rose a hundred zhang into the sky, but the body beneath still hadn’t left the ground.

Looking at this huge, terrifying creature, whether it was the escaping people from Purple Dragon Island or Nezha slowly descending in the sky, everyone was shocked.

In the dark of the night, all was silent.

The God-slaying Worm emitted an iron-colored mysterious light. In this Fir Forest, all creatures who saw it, whether cultivators or wild beasts, held their breath and ceased all movements at this moment.

"Our cultivation is suppressed; to fight this creature with just our physical bodies is nearly impossible."

Nezha frowned slightly. It took a long time before the earth returned to calm.

He landed on the ground, no longer in the mood to start a fire, so he proceeded on his way under the moonlight.

Although it was a forbidden area, the trees still grew towards the sun; he walked along the side where the leaves were sparse, and his direction was always correct, always towards the center of the forbidden area.

After walking for two days like this, he encountered another group of people.

He had seen this group before, during the last attack on the black eagles. Back then, there were three injured among them. Now the injured were gone.

Moreover, among this group, he saw Qing Yu from Purple Dragon Island wearing a mask.

It seemed she had separated from Xiao Qi Perfected and others, and later encountered this group of people.

The background of this group was unknown, yet in terms of strength, they were even stronger than the group from West Sea Purple Dragon Island.

There were as many as five Taiyi Golden Immortals, each able to support a sect’s top combat power, not to mention the other seven, all of whom were in the Golden Immortal Realm.

But in this Fir Forest, the stronger you are, it does not mean the journey would go smoothly.

Perhaps due to extremely bad luck, their experiences were even worse than the Purple Dragon Island group’s encounters Nezha had seen.

Before Nezha first encountered them, on their first day entering the Fir Forest, they encountered the God-slaying Worm, a massive swarm of twenty worms. Although they were prepared, cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm nearly all perished.

This group had also seen Nezha.

The leading five Taiyi Golden Immortals could naturally see through Nezha’s realm, but having also witnessed his mid-air battle against the dark shadow, they didn’t dare to take him lightly.

After all, in this place where cultivation was forbidden, they were thousands of years old demons, none of whom wanted to fail to find treasures and end up falling into the hands of a junior.

However, despite having five Taiyi Golden Immortals, it was someone behind these five who first came forward to speak.

Nezha only saw this person’s topknot fluttering in the wind, his broad sleeves with the wind, coarse linen shoes on his feet, a treasure sword hanging on the left of his belt, and a gourd on the right.

The Daoist had two long, fine, black mustaches on his lips, well-groomed looking somewhat comical.

Seeing that Nezha was younger, he didn’t assume a condescending attitude but instead twirled his mustache and said, "I am Shen Gongbao. May I ask where you, Daoist, are from? Would you care to join us?"
