Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Didn’t you see my clock? Why are you attacking his neck!

Two figures dashed across the land.

Suddenly, they halted in their tracks.

Liang Hui gazed at the city ahead, spreading a hundred miles wide, his palm resting on the Treasure-Seeking Rat, soothing its somewhat agitated movements.

"Six hundred years ago, this was the city where the Tianyuan Sword Sect selected its disciples. I never thought it would come to be so desolate,"

With a soft sigh, Su Yao looked at the silent and dilapidated city, her expression complex.

The lifespan of spiritual veins and Primordial Spirits was but three hundred years; six hundred years was long enough to drive the mightiest in the world to despair.

Without transcendence, one would ultimately be but a speck of dust, soil within the heaven and earth.

Caught in these thoughts, her gaze involuntarily shifted to the tall figure beside her.

"Let’s go take a look inside. The city has been scavenged several times after the five secret realm openings, but it’s too vast to be thoroughly explored."

Liang Hui nodded, his hand on the hilt of his sword, striding forward.

Quick to follow, Su Yao walked briskly alongside him.

As they entered the city, a scene of extreme desolation unfurled before them.

The ruined streets were overgrown with weeds, houses collapsed into piles of rubble.

Exchanging glances, they walked on slowly.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the empty streets.

Under the guidance of the Treasure-Seeking Rat, they searched one wrecked shop after another, an empty house here and there.

The two gradually began to find some treasures.

Most of these treasures were odd stones hidden by their former owners, among other things like cultivation techniques.

However, these techniques were all very rudimentary Martial Sword Techniques; there wasn’t even a Taoist Scripture among them.

Suddenly, the Treasure-Seeking Rat seemed to sense something.

It pointed in a direction and started squeaking energetically.

The reason for the white rat’s reaction was clear to both of them.

They walked briskly in the direction the Treasure-Seeking Rat indicated.

Soon, a relatively intact pavilion appeared before them.

Myriad Treasure Pavilion, although the three characters on the signboard were blurred, Liang Hui could still make them out.

Seeing the pavilion ahead, the white rat on the young man’s shoulder grew even more excited, waving its paws frenetically.

The items within the pavilion seemed to be extremely precious.

Liang Hui’s lips curled up, watching the white rat waving its paws on his shoulder.

At his side, Su Yao’s eyes curved, a hint of a smile crossing her face.

"Your beast-taming skills seem to be lacking."

"I came into it halfway, so it’s not surprising it was deciphered. However, the enemy doesn’t seem very smart."

With a thought, his Inner Strength began to surge at his shoulder, crushing the white rat into a splatter of blood.

At the same time, the Crimson Jade Bell appeared in his hand without warning.

"Let’s see which wretch crawled out of which drain."

The bell trembled gently.

Dang!

From the center of the Crimson Jade Bell, circles of red ripples began to spread outward.

Wherever the ripples passed, houses melted, the ground blackened and charred.

The pavilion in front of the two was almost instantly reduced to a ball of flames.

Hisss! Hisss! Hisss!....

Amidst the dense and shrill sound of insects, the whole pavilion exploded in an instant.

Clouds of various colors flew out from the pavilion, shrouding the sky and plunging the earth into darkness.

The red flames were quickly being extinguished, consumed at a rapid pace.

Although a large number of insects died, they were inconsequential compared to the swarm that blanketed the sky.

Watching the scene unfold, Su Yao frowned deeply.

She quietly transmitted her voice to the young man, "With a swarm of this scale, it’s very likely to be from the ’Thousand Layers Poison Worm Scripture,’ one of the seventy-two evil Dao legacies."

"Before the Lifebound Level, it’s sufficient to slay the cultivator himself.

"However, once one steps into the Lifebound Level, you need to cut down both the enemy and their lifebound poison insects."

"And our current foe must have reached the True Realization Realm, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a sizable swarm."

Liang Hui nodded lightly, looking at the endless horde of insects.

Even he couldn’t pinpoint the lifebound insect and the cultivator themselves amidst such numbers.

But then, he didn’t need to.

The mana within the body continuously flowed into the Crimson Jade Bell.

At this moment, the surrounding temperature began to climb steadily.

The brilliance of the Crimson Jade Bell grew increasingly dazzling, as if a great sun was held in the palm of the youth.

Ding! Ding!!....

The crisp sound of the bell seemed endless, ringing out frantically.

The ground melted, houses became lava and merged back into the earth.

Swarming insects burned in the sky, falling in clusters and turning to dust mid-air.

Looking up, the surroundings had become an ocean composed of magma.

Only the ground where Liang Hui and Su Yao stood remained intact.

"Kid, you’re asking for death!"

The hoarse voice was like the sound of thousands of insects chirring.

Several beams of golden light, moving against the crimson ripples, shot towards the youth through the scorching high temperature.

They were three palm-sized golden beetles.

Each one had fierce mandibles, and on their golden carapaces were mysterious patterns, both mysterious and dangerous.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In the dull impact, the three golden shadows flew backward.

An ancient mirror floated above the youth’s head, layers of golden halos falling down, causing the golden beetles to retreat without success.

Simultaneously, Liang Hui reached forward with his palm.

A massive Fire Palm fell from the sky, pressing the three golden beetles into the magma.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The three golden marks floated silently on the surface of the magma, motionless.

With a single thought, layers of Fire Birds filled the sky, shooting like a rain of fire towards the remaining swarm of insects.

"Youngster, to kill me, this is still not enough."

"Water!"

Sounding like a tidal wave, a layer upon layer of sky-blue insects surged out from the swarm.

Confronting the Fire Birds, they then exploded thunderously, with sky-blue streams of water crashing down like the sea.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Water merged with fire, creating countless steam that covered and concealed everything.

The light and heat radiated by the Crimson Jade Bell dispersed the steam.

Suddenly, a dark shadow emerged behind Su Yao, a blade with a dark edge piercing through the girl’s heart in an instant.

Blood gushed forth.

At this moment, a smile appeared on the faces of both Liang Hui and Su Yao.

Hooked!

The youth holding the jade bell slammed it mightily towards the shadow behind Su Yao.

At the same time, a girl in a blue robe appeared behind the shadow, her delicate palm slightly bent, with bright yellow Inner Strength attached to it.

Instantly piercing the air, it pressed against the shadow’s neck.

Boom! Zap!

In the sharp wails, the upper half of the shadow was directly flattened.

The head and abdomen disappeared without a trace, and even the remaining legs were burned by the flames.

Suddenly, a streak of green burst out of the flames, rushing towards the heavens.

The hand enveloped in flames gripped that flash of green.

It was a cicada covered in green, its small eyes filled with unwillingness. It had only made one mistake, yet it had come to such an end.

"I am willing to give up the ’Thousand Layers Poison Worm Scripture’...."

Pop!

The hand squeezed, and the green cicada exploded instantly, then burned to ashes.

"Merely a minor trick, my pair of fists is enough to be invincible in the world."

At that moment, Su Yao, bleeding from her chest next to the youth, began to dim and became more and more ethereal until she disappeared without a trace.

"A Taoist of the True Realization level, I didn’t expect them to fall so easily into our hands."

Su Yao, holding the Holy Medicine applied to her hand, glanced at Liang Hui with a hint of reproach.

That bell strike almost crushed her palm.

The youth’s face wore a hint of helplessness, why did you attack the neck?

With my strike, how could the enemy’s head possibly remain?
