Chapter 1094: Chapter 1066: Maneuvering Tactics

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"Are you trying to kill me, Li?!"

Li Chen calmly withdrew his blade, looked at Fan Bayin, and sneered, "If I’d been a bit slower, you’d really be done for!"

At this moment, Li Chen and Fan Bayin were standing over twenty meters away from the Gu King.

Fan Bayin’s previously flashy cloak now lay in a stinking heap of rags thrown aside, with two or three wounds visible on his body, all appearing to be blade cuts.

This was the result of Li Chen’s quick action, directly slicing away the part of Fan Bayin’s body that had touched the green liquid.

If not, even Li Chen dared not imagine if Fan Bayin’s body would end up like that discarded cloak.

What was amusing was that while Fan Bayin was fleeing earlier, some of that green liquid got onto his hair as well. Li Chen’s swift blade took off a large chunk of his hair.

The only thing Fan Bayin could boast about in terms of appearance, his hairstyle, became avant-garde.

"What are you doing?! Look at what you’ve done to my hair!" Fan Bayin shouted angrily.

Li Chen was a bit curious, "You care more about your hairstyle than your wounds right now?"

"What do you know? You can lose your head or bleed, but your hairstyle must remain intact!"

Li Chen felt he couldn’t understand the mindset of a middle-aged shut-in who cultivated to the Earth Level, so he turned his head away, refusing to speak to this guy.

Li Chen knew this would happen because he had a similar experience himself.

Previously, when he infiltrated Miao Zheng’s stronghold, he attempted to strike the Gu King, and at that time, he indeed injured the Gu King, but the concentrated acid almost caused him serious trouble.

The black trench coat he was wearing was corroded extensively, and the liquid even penetrated the coat, splashing onto the back of his hand. If he hadn’t quickly used True Qi to peel off that layer of skin, he might have lost the entire hand.

Miao Zheng watched the two, his face turning sullen at this moment.

To him, the Gu King was an invincible existence, a legendary creature akin to a god.

But today, he didn’t expect the Gu King to be injured the first time it came down the mountain. To him, this was utterly intolerable.

"Kill them!!" Miao Zheng roared maniacally.

"Hururu——" The Gu King let out a long, strange sound, and in the next moment, Li Chen and Fan Bayin saw the Gu King charging towards them again.

The two exchanged a glance, both being Earth-level experts, and without saying anything else, at least their combat intelligence was at the same level, almost instantly seeing the same idea in each other’s eyes.

"This guy is incredibly strong, but not very fast! We can take it on!"

As the Gu King was about to reach them, the two simultaneously darted to either side.

"???" The Gu King crashed through several sturdy trees in a row, then abruptly halted, seemingly hesitating over which one it should chase first.

"Kill the King of the Netherworld first!" Miao Zheng shouted.

The Gu King twisted its body to look at Miao Zheng, as if even more puzzled.

"The one on the right!" Miao Zheng shouted until his throat felt a bit itchy.

Upon receiving the message, the Gu King immediately chased after Li Chen.

However, it hadn’t gone far when it felt a sharp pain in its back.

It quickly turned its head to see that the person who had stabbed it once had a smug look and stabbed it again before quickly running away.

"Hulu!!" The Gu King roared angrily and turned to chase after Fan Bayin.

"Sss——"

A blood-red blade light appeared, and the Gu King let out another cry of pain.

A new wound opened on its back, and this time, the wound was even more terrifying, cutting open nearly a meter-long piece of skin, revealing the milky white flesh inside and the green acidic blood.

"Damn monster!" After the strike, Li Chen quickly retreated. Although his body could be considered monster-level, he wasn’t keen on testing whether his blood was stronger than the green blood.

That last slash, Li Chen didn’t hold back.

Even copper walls and iron walls forged from alloy would be cut in two by this blow from Li Chen.

Even so, it only left a meter-long wound on this creature. This showed just how incredibly strong the Gu King’s body defense was.

"Keep wearing it down; I don’t believe this monster is truly undying!" Li Chen and Fan Bayin regrouped, watching the Gu King roar in pain.

"Its speed isn’t fast, so we can chip away at it like this. Otherwise, neither its frontal strike nor the green blood splattering can we withstand," Li Chen said.

Fan Bayin nodded, "I won’t risk playing with death again; let’s slowly wear this thing down. But this big guy will certainly unleash an ultimate move before it dies. Don’t get caught off guard. You haven’t given me the antidote yet, and I don’t want to die alongside you."

"Don’t worry." Li Chen smiled and nodded, "Even if you die, I won’t."

Fan Bayin nodded, watching the Gu King charge at them like mad, and the two split up again, starting to skirmish.

An Cheng, at an unknown point, had already joined An Xiu and Zhang Jing, who had hidden away.

"Great, at this pace, we can win!" Zhang Jing said, clenching her fist.

"Go, Brother Li Chen!" An Xiu said softly.

However, at this moment, An Cheng sighed.

"Uncle An, what’s wrong?" Zhang Jing turned her head in puzzlement, looking at An Cheng, unsure why he suddenly sighed.

"I suddenly remembered a legend." An Cheng’s face seemed troubled, "If this creature is indeed one of the legendary Gu insects, things won’t be so simple."

"A legendary Gu insect?" An Xiu asked curiously, "Dad, what’s that?"

"It’s a type of... terrifying creature that can evolve autonomously according to the environment and adapt to almost any environment!" An Cheng said through gritted teeth.

"Good! Li Chen, give it another slash; I feel this big guy can’t hold on much longer!" Fan Bayin stabbed the Gu King again with an arrow and then quickly ran off, shouting out loud.

Li Chen nodded, preparing to seize this chance to strike the Gu King again, but noticed that the Gu King, which should have turned to chase after Fan Bayin, had stopped in its tracks.

A sudden sense of danger alerted Li Chen, and without hesitation, he quickly retreated tens of meters.

Fan Bayin was puzzled, seeing Li Chen suddenly back off, and was about to approach when he heard Li Chen shout loudly.

"Don’t come, run quickly!"

Fan Bayin was pondering Li Chen’s words when he suddenly heard a sharp wind-breaking sound coming from ahead.
