Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Hunting the Evil Wraith (Part 2)

“`

Groan~

The Evil Insect let out a triumphant hiss, suddenly opening its gaping maw to bite at Wang Chen, attempting to swallow him whole!

However, Wang Chen suddenly took a step forward, his figure slightly flickered, and he vanished on the spot in an instant.

Wanli Free!

The most powerful aspect of this spell lay in its ability to break through other spells and barriers, the Binding applied by the Evil Insect on Wang Chen clearly wasn’t enough to suppress its might.

Spurt!

The Evil Insect bit into a mouthful of mud and rocks.

At the same time, Wang Chen appeared a hundred steps away, with a shining silver Flying Sword hovering above his head.

Dragon Abyss Sword out!

The Evil Insect’s body was covered in a thick Rock Armor, which gave it a formidable resistance to lightning-based spells.

The effectiveness of a fire attack is probably even worse!

Against such an enemy, only wood-based spells could truly form a restraint.

Yet, among the wood-based spells that Wang Chen had mastered, only a few for farming the Spirit Fields were available, none of which were suitable for combat.

Therefore, he decisively summoned his Life-bound Flying Sword.

Forceful kill!

“Swiftly!”

Wang Chen directed with his sword finger, and the Dragon Abyss Sword immediately turned into a streak of light, covering a distance of over a hundred steps in a flash.

Crack!

A deep sword mark instantly appeared on the Evil Insect’s enormous skull.

The defense of this Evil Insect’s head, covered by the Rock Armor, was not the slightest bit weaker than its body, and the top of its head was even the sturdiest and thickest part.

But Wang Chen, driving his Life-bound Flying Sword with Golden Core True Essence, sparked the true power of this Magical Treasure’s edge, the indestructible Sword Qi cut through the hard skull, penetrating deeply inside.

A stream of ghastly green, stinking fluid spurted out!

Groan~

The Evil Insect roared out in pain, instinctively rolling its body.

However, the Dragon Abyss Sword clung to it like a burrowing maggot, whirling up and down around it, slashing, cutting, shaving, and stabbing in turn, with the sword light crisscrossing and occasional bursts of thunderous roars echoing!

Wang Chen was using the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

The Thunderbolt Sword Technique wasn’t exactly a high-tier Flying Sword art, starting from the Qi Cultivation Stage with the highest at the Purple Mansion, just a bit stronger than the most basic Sword Control Technique.

But the defining characteristic of this Sword Technique was its speed, swift and agile like lightning. At its highest level, it could incite the Thunder Sound Sword Qi, often taking the enemy by surprise and securing a quick victory in a fight.

Wang Chen’s skill in the Thunderbolt Sword Technique had already reached the Great Perfection Level. Exhibiting this lower-tier Sword Technique with his Golden Core cultivation level, he effortlessly brought out the characteristics of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to their utmost.

Most importantly, Wang Chen’s powerful Divine Sense ensured precise control even at super-fast sword speeds!

The Evil Insect’s defenses were exceptionally strong, but its large size also affected its reaction speed. Facing the frenzied attack of the Dragon Abyss Flying Sword, it floundered helplessly, accumulating more and more wounds.

Against such a high-defense target, Wang Chen had plenty of experience and patience.

He did not seek to kill the enemy with a single blow, but focused on maneuvering the Flying Sword, peeling away its defenses layer by layer, just like peeling bamboo shoots.

Over time, the Rock Armor covering the Evil Insect’s body started to crack and crumble, forcing the relatively thinner shell beneath to face the sharp edge of the Dragon Abyss Sword.

The Evil Insect wanted to counterattack—it was, after all, a Third Order “Fiend”—but whenever it tried to attack Wang Chen, it would immediately face a stormlike barrage.

In just the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the Evil Insect’s body was riddled with hundreds of wounds.

It was only because its Rock Armor was incredibly sturdy and could also gather surrounding mud to repair itself that it wasn’t dismembered—if it were any other Third Order Evil Beast, it would have likely been torn to pieces by now!

Even so, the Evil Insect couldn’t stand such a passive situation, and with a howl, it turned around and quickly shot towards the hole it had previously burrowed out of.

Trying to run?

“`

Wang Chen couldn’t possibly just stand by and watch his prey slip away!

With a step, he used “Shrinking Ground into Inches” and instantly teleported in front of the burrow, his left palm slamming heavily downward.

Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

Boom!

The seemingly bottomless burrow collapsed instantly under the powerful palm strike.

And the soft soil turned into hard rock in the blink of an eye.

Solidify Mud to Stone!

This was yet another low-tier spell that Wang Chen was most familiar with and skilled at.

Bang!

The Evil Insect slammed into the ground, its head colliding fiercely with the incredibly hard rock.

Although the rock solidified by the spell cracked from the impact, the Evil Insect’s hope of escaping back underground was shattered!

Before it could react, a large net suddenly covered the sky and swooped down upon it.

Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!

Wang Chen hadn’t used this treasure, designed to deal with demon-worshipping monstrosities, in a very long time.

Today was the day it would shine again!

Caught off guard, the Evil Insect was thoroughly ensnared by the Demon-Slaying Net, its cords cutting deep sword-like grooves into its flesh, reaching the insect’s very core.

The Evil Power inside the Evil Insect was relentlessly absorbed and devoured by the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

Only then did the Evil Insect realize that something terribly wrong was happening; as it tried to break free from these merciless chains, it only attracted more severe suppression and control.

If the Evil Insect had been at its peak strength, even with Wang Chen’s Demon-Slaying Net on hand, capturing it would not have been an easy task.

But now, it was like a dog that had fallen into the water, not only beaten severely but also squeezed dry of its remaining value!

The more fiercely the Evil Insect struggled, the more Evil Power the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net absorbed. When it exerted its last bit of strength, attempting to break free, it sadly found itself wrapped tightly by the net, a veritable dumpling!

With his left hand holding the net’s ropes, Wang Chen continuously suppressed the Evil Insect’s resistance, while his right hand still controlled the Flying Sword, on guard for any possible Evil Wraiths or monsters.

Sure enough, shadows emerged one after another.

But Wang Chen was no ordinary individual; how could he be fooled by such petty tricks? Immediately, he sent his Flying Sword to slay the enemies.

Even while multitasking, Wang Chen handled it with ease. The Ghosts that just emerged did not even start causing trouble before they turned into Human Virtue points on his scoreboard.

Such easy earnings were rare, and naturally, he intended to make the most of it!

Inevitably, as more and more Evil Power leaked from its body, the once fierce Evil Insect became weak and feeble, its struggles growing fainter, nearly reaching the point of exhausted collapse.

Groan~

Realizing its inexorable fate, the Evil Insect let out a low roar and its body suddenly curled up, a dark red glow emanating from its surface.

It was gathering its power!

Self-destruction?

Wang Chen immediately understood what the creature intended to do and without any hesitation, he infused the Demon-Slaying Net with his full power, elevating its “firepower” to the maximum.

The net’s ropes brutally forced their way through the Evil Insect’s cracked shell, tearing apart its flesh and muscles, the devouring force reaching an unprecedented level. It could truly be described as marrow-sucking!

The red glow on the Evil Insect’s body instantly faded, and then it never rallied again.

Because it had been drained dry!

In less than a hundred breaths’ time, this powerful Evil Insect had fallen dead, its body shrunken by half, lifeless.

The next moment, a brilliant sword light descended from the sky, piercing through the Evil Insect’s head!
