Chapter 221: Chapter 219: Gu! Sacred Worm!

"Let’s go!"

Liang Hui stepped out of the war chariot and came up beside Hoo Bai, his palm gently caressing its skeletal frame.

Roar!

With a low growl, Hoo Bai leaped into the air, its body rapidly shrinking in mid-flight.

By the time it landed on Liang Hui’s shoulder, it was only the size of a fist.

The young man waved his hand, and the war chariot beside him disappeared.

Turn around!

With the Immortal War Spear on his back and the Red Cloud Dao Sword at his waist, the altar nestled in his arms, he strode towards the millions of miles of mountains.

This time, he was determined to subdue the Barbarian Tribe, to bring the lands that had been separated from the Fourteen States since ancient times to heel!

As he left Manzhou and entered the endless mountain ranges,

the roars of wild beasts all around, the sky-blocking poisonous miasma, and the numerous small barbarian tribes like hairs on an ox, constantly passed by his side.

Yet none of these detoured the young man, not even slowing his pace by a fraction.

In just a few days’ time, Liang Hui had already ventured deep into the southern barbarian lands for millions of miles.

Suddenly, Liang Hui who was rushing forward abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He tilted his head slightly, looking towards a towering mountain range nearby.

He felt a fierce and barbaric aura emanating from beneath the mountains; this aura was not weak.

Before he could think any further, the mountains started to tremble slightly, then began to shake violently.

Huge amounts of debris rolled down from the mountains, kicking up a thundering din and clouds of dust.

Roar!

A deep roar sounded, and a black tortoiseshell emerged from the ground, pushing the mountain higher and higher.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain had risen a kilometer, and a black tortoise occupied the land for dozens of miles around.

The towering peak that used to reach into the clouds now looked like a stack of building blocks perched atop the tortoise shell.

The tortoise’s head emerged from its shell, spiky and ferocious-looking, terrifying, with a pair of beastly red eyes.

The Mystic Tortoise raised its head, staring at the slender figure standing against the Vault of Heaven.

"An Exotic Beast?"

"However, why do I feel something’s not quite right?"

Liang Hui rested his palm on the hilt of the sword, feeling the warmth coming through his palm.

He didn’t pay too much attention to the Mystic Tortoise; it was merely not weak.

With a thought,

Hoo Bai, lying on his shoulder, leaped down.

It stood in the sky and roared.

Crack! Crack!

To everyone’s astonishment, the space began to crack densely from the roar.

At the same time, Hoo Bai’s figure rapidly expanded.

In an instant, one could no longer clearly see its skeletal body; one could only see four white pillars reaching into the clouds, and a tiger’s head that appeared intermittently within the clouds.

The pale white, tinged with gold, Soul Fire burned fiercely in the eye sockets of the White Bone Tiger Demon.

Roar!

A claw pressed down, obscuring the Vault of Heaven, darkening the sky for dozens of miles around at that moment.

The Mystic Tortoise’s shell, too, at this time showed layers of blood-red light, which faintly revealed broken characters.

’Isn’t it a wild Exotic Beast?’

Liang Hui murmured to himself, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword as he regarded the Mystic Tortoise with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the tiger claw collided with the blood-red light.

Boom! Rumble!

With a deafening blast, it created roiling shockwaves, scattering shards of space in all directions.

After that, every energy particle in the point of impact was completely annihilated.

The blood-red light on the tortoise shell was marked with a massive claw imprint, but ultimately it was not breached.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With one claw strike after another, the tiger’s roar and the tortoise’s hiss echoed through the mountains and rivers.

Chunks of space shattered, and the two giant beasts quickly entered the void to battle it out.

A hundred miles away, two short figures watched the scene before them with disbelief.

"Ah Jiao sister, what on earth is that white bone tiger, to actually be able to fight against the Sacred Worm to this extent?"

"How should I know? Let’s go inform the Cave Master. For now, we should keep our tribespeople away from this area," the petite girl dressed in assorted animal skins said, her eyes not even glancing at the battling giants in the void.

But her gaze was fixed on the slender figure holding a sword in the sky.

"It looks like it’s probably someone from Chu Nation, no one in our tribe uses a sword as an art piece," she thought.

"However, under my Spirit Eye, why do I have a sense of familiarity with that person’s appearance?"

The girl silently mused to herself.

At the same time, she pulled in her gaze and, grabbing the boy by her side, prepared to leave.

"It’s a pity, my Gu has not yet been found, and this area is the easiest place to find Gu insects."

The boy’s eyes were filled with regret. Sneaking into the forbidden area without informing the Cave Master, he had hoped to find an exceptional Gu as a magical instrument.

Now, it seemed they could only wait for the next opportunity.

"Wait, Ah Jiao sis, that person, that person is drawing their sword!" Like a low chant, yet also a lament, the boy’s voice was filled with complexities he didn’t even understand.

"Drawing the sword! Just draw..."

As the girl turned around to look, she saw a scene she would never forget in her lifetime.

Above and below, in every desert and wilderness, even across the void, were boundless sword lights.

There was no end in sight, nor could the origin be discerned. All perception was peeling away, leaving only that eternal, unchanging sword light in her heart.

Clang!

The sound of the Taoist Sword being sheathed, and the children’s senses began to return.

Looking again, the shattered space had already returned to its original state.

The enormous Sacred Worm was cleaved in half, its head, carapace, and torso all split, with blood flowing like a waterfall from the severed parts.

A White Bone Tiger Demon howled in the blood-drenched scene.

"Go! Go! Xiao Yi, we must leave immediately."

"We might have encountered that person."

Named Ah Jiao, the girl stumbled as she fled into the distance with the boy.

Standing on the ground, Liang Hui looked indifferently in the direction the two children were escaping.

A moment later, he shifted his gaze to Hoo Bai, who was absorbing the blood.

"Gu, the chosen magical instrument of our Barbarian Tribe?"

"Sacred Worm, Cave Master, interesting!"

He turned around!

He took steps towards the direction the children had left, walking unhurriedly.

At this moment, Hoo Bai, which had been continuously absorbing the blood and bones of the Mystic Tortoise, also quickened its pace.

....

In the southern Barbarian Tribe, amidst a vast expanse of mountains.

One of the thirty-six caves, Azure Sea Cave.

At the entrance of Azure Sea Cave, spatial ripples undulated layer upon layer as two small figures, supporting each other, emerged.

"Xiao Yi, Ah Jiao, why are you in such disarray? Was the acquisition of the Gu unsuccessful?"

A bare-chested Great Han, holding a Wolf Fang Club, emerged from a house built of gravel and stone, his expression concerned.

The girl seemed to have something to say.

But her complexion suddenly changed. Her small mechanism set up on the road had been triggered, and with a trembling voice, she spoke:

"Uncle Wu, quick! Inform the Cave Master, that person has come."

"That person? An enemy? Someone who dares to bully the people of Azure Sea Cave."

The Great Han’s face showed anger, ready to leave the secret realm to investigate.

As for informing the Cave Master, based merely on the words of a child, it was not appropriate to disturb the Cave Master’s cultivation.

Even if this girl was an elder’s adopted daughter.

"Uncle Wu, stop! Hurry and inform the Cave Master."

"That person is, is, is Divine Emperor Your Majesty!"

The girl’s voice trembled as she tried to suppress the fear in her heart.

Bang!

The Great Han dropped the Wolf Fang Club he was holding onto the ground.

His face turned pale as he took out a Bone Whistle from his bosom and crushed it.

He was afraid. Although news in the Barbarian Tribe was somewhat behind, they had certain channels of information in Chu Nation.

The more he knew about that person, the more fear filled his heart.

Though they were a Barbarian Tribe, they too possessed their own concepts of right and wrong, culture, and were never like the blood-drinking barbarians the people of Chu Nation and Zhou Nation proclaimed.

So naturally, they possessed fear and trepidation.
