Chapter 286: Chapter 0286: Lifebound Gu Worm

The combat between two individuals, whose fighting strength is comparable to the Middle-stage Innate, is certainly no joke.

You could see that wherever the two fought, the ground would roll and rise, and whether it be trees or boulders around, all without exception would be shattered by the remnants of their battle and scattered everywhere.

The man in black clothing on the tree sped up his dance moves even more, even slashing his own wrist again, dancing while splattering black blood.

A strong, pungent smell permeated through the air, causing Chu Ge to frown upon smelling it, feeling an inner turbulence and an urge to kill.

However, as soon as he circulated his cultivation technique, the feeling disappeared instantly, leaving behind only the pungent smell.

On the other hand, the man in black he was fighting was different, his eyes turned blood-red, filled with an unbelievable murderous intent, and even starting to strike recklessly.

Normally avoidable attacks he would not dodge, instead he adopted a tactic of trading injury for injury with Chu Ge, resulting in him being covered in wounds in less than a minute.

Yet, as his injuries worsened, the man in black showed no signs of weakness. Instead, his presence grew stronger and more frantic!

"Hmph, equivalent to an assistant, huh?"

Chu Ge glanced at the distant dancing man in black, sneered coldly, and immediately forsook the man in front of him, charging directly towards the dancer.

The fighting man in black roared and closely followed behind Chu Ge.

Upon seeing Chu Ge charging at him, the dancer was startled but chose not to flee. Instead, he waved his sleeve and threw a mass of black objects.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

These were a swarm of black beetles, which upon being thrown, flapped their wings and rushed towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge paid no heed, still charging straight at the dancing man in black. However, as the beetles approached, he circulated his True Qi and threw a punch.

The change happened at this moment!

He originally thought the beetles would be smashed by his punch, as it was empowered with his True Qi. Even a Martial Artist in the Postnatal Realm wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

However, to Chu Ge’s surprise, he felt a sharp pain in his fist, and as for the beetles, they only got pushed back a bit but appeared completely unharmed.

"Ha ha ha ha, my Black Armored Gu Worms, did you think they were so easy to kill?"

On the tree branch, the dancing man in black saw Chu Ge like this and couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter. "These little treasures, I’ve cultivated them with countless efforts. Each one is comparable to a Martial Artist in the Postnatal Perfection. Moreover, their shells are incredibly tough, making them impervious even to attacks from the Innate Realm unless they are hit many times!"

Chu Ge furrowed his brows, then in the dim moonlight, he glanced at his right fist.

There was a small wound on his fist, seemingly inflicted by those beetles just a moment ago, and now the wound had already begun to turn black, with black blood flowing out from it.

Upon witnessing this scene, the dancing black-clothed man burst into laughter once more, he even stopped dancing, pointed at Chu Ge’s fist, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, each of these little treasures of mine carries an extremely intense Gu Poison. Even if one is at the Innate Realm, once infected with Gu Poison, unless I provide the antidote, the only path left is death!"

At this point, the black-clothed man looked at Chu Ge, and said triumphantly, "Now, kneel down, submit to me, and I can give you the antidote to detoxify you. You’d better make a decision quickly, otherwise, after three minutes, even I will be powerless!"

"Is that so?"

Feeling his fist completely numb, Chu Ge suddenly sneered coldly, circulated the True Qi within his body, and sent it surging towards the meridians of his fist.

This was his confidence; even Jian Chunqiu had said that the Cultivation Technique within the Jade Pendant probably had a significant origin; even with his level of Divine Communication, he couldn’t discern the depths of the technique.

Indeed, as the True Qi flowed, the sensation in his fist slowly began to return, and at the same time, a stream of black liquid started to flow out from the wound.

After the black liquid had flowed out, what followed was the deep red of fresh blood.

"How... how is this possible?" Seeing the fresh blood, the dancing black-clothed man’s eyes widened, his face showing an incredulous expression.

The Gu Poison from the beetles, which he had concocted after mixing countless kinds of poisons, was the strongest Gu Poison selected. Even a strong person in the Innate Realm, if they did not take the antidote within three minutes, would suffer total bodily decay and die.

Yet this young man in front of him, who was not even truly Innate, could resist the effects of the poison?

What on earth kind of monster was this? The dancing black-clothed man, at this moment, was roaring this question in his heart.

Fortunately, at that moment, another frenzied black-clothed man rushed forward, not saying anything, and howling as he rushed towards Chu Ge.

And the dancing black-clothed man again started that strange dance, and once more waved his hand, releasing all the Gu Worms on his body, directing them to charge towards Chu Ge.

Originally believing that this was merely a simple mission, to kill a youngster who hadn’t even reached the Innate Realm, and it turned out to be an overkill to deploy both of them.

Not until this moment did he realize, this young man was no simple opponent.

Honestly, if he had to choose, he would rather fight against a real Innate Grandmaster!

"Die!"

Suddenly, Chu Ge grabbed a Black Armored Gu Worm, congregated True Qi in his palm, and then exerted force.

"Puchi—" A dull sound was heard, as the beetle was directly crushed in his palm, the black fluid splattering everywhere.

"Puh—" The dancing black-clothed man in the tree paused his dancing, and a large mouthful of black blood was expelled from his mouth.

The Black Witch Sect bred two types of Gu Worms, one was ordinary Gu Worms, which were simple to maintain and wouldn’t affect much even if they died, thus less powerful.

As for the Lifebound Gu, it was fed with the keeper’s essence blood, normally nurtured with essence blood, very obedient due to the psychic connection to the keeper, and immensely powerful. However, should a Lifebound Gu die, the keeper would also suffer backlash, severely endangering their life!

And these black beetles, undoubtedly, were the Lifebound Gu Worms raised by the dancing black-clothed man. Now that Chu Ge had directly crushed one, he too suffered some backlash.
