Chapter 1263: Wind Chimes on the Anklet
At the same time, in the room that Liu Siya and Shen Qiang had just left, the young man, with the help of others, limped over to the sofa and sat down, wincing in pain. He roared angrily, "Shen Qiang! I won't let him get away with this! I swear I'll kill him. I must kill him. What does he know? He just got lucky and acquired a Divine Gu!"
"What kind of skill is that! If he had any real skills, he'd compete with me in refining Gu! Damnit, my Heavenly Centipede has killed countless people. Can he say the same? Just because he has some cultivation, he dares bully me. Just wait until my leg is healed. If I don't wipe out his whole family, I'll write my name backward!"
Hearing his outburst,
all the Gu Masters around exchanged glances silently, after which one of them spoke up.
"Sect Leader, perhaps we should let this go. That Shen Qiang is wealthy and influential, and his cultivation has already reached the Yang God Realm. He's a true expert. Moreover, for thousands of years, whenever the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu appears, a Gu Master dies. This is something no one can change. If you insist on challenging Shen Qiang in your current rage, it might just bring disaster upon you!"
Hearing this, the young man fumed, "Shen Qiang is nothing! In the past, everyone believed that when the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu appeared, a Gu Master would surely die. That was a limitation of fixed thinking. Now that Shen Qiang can do it, it means we can do it too!"
The eyes of the many Gu Masters lit up, and they all praised him.
"Truly worthy of being a Sect Leader! Brilliant! Even though Shen Qiang won't tell us what medicine he used, there are only so few insecticides released in recent years. If we buy them all and test them one by one, we'll surely find the effective one."
"Exactly, he said before, as long as we use medicine to kill the insects, it's fine!"
Seeing the bright-eyed crowd, the young man smiled proudly, "Hmph, Shen Qiang thinks he's so impressive just because he has a Divine Gu? Thinks he's unbeatable? Now that these Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu are here, we can test them and try each medicine. Once we find the solution to dealing with the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, we can unify the Gu Masters."
"Shen Qiang thinks he's unbeatable with Heshenghe?" The young man imagined excitedly, "When the time comes, I'll lead thousands of Gu Masters into his Heshenghe Mountain Villa, not only wiping out every last one of them, but I'll also make him kneel in tears, begging for mercy!"
"Heh, heh, and then I'll kill him with a single stroke, making him repent in hell!" The young man roared in exhilaration.
Just as he finished speaking,
Plop.
A bug mysteriously dropped from the ceiling onto his body.
Without even looking, he casually grabbed it and squeezed hard, but to his surprise, the bug didn't explode as he expected. Instead, like a rubber, it flattened and then popped back up.
This piqued his curiosity, and when he brought it closer for a look, he was stunned.
Golden eyes, jade flower-like eyebrows, wings fluttering.
"Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu!" he cried out in horror.
And almost simultaneously,
all the Gu Masters in the room were horrified to see that the ceiling was already crawling with these Gu Worms, densely packed.
At this moment, following the young man's scream, at least a thousand Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu swarmed onto the young man's body instantaneously.
"Save me, help me!" The young man yelled desperately with tears and mucus streaming down his face, "Go get Shen Qiang back for me, go now, hurry up!"
He struggled desperately, flailing his arms. The many Gu Masters in the room scattered and vanished in an instant.
Realizing they might have abandoned him, he struggled frantically, flapping his arms as the bugs kept coming. Feeling a gradual numbness spreading, he struggled to his feet and dragged himself toward the room Liu Siya had stayed in earlier.
"Shen Qiang used something; there must be traces left in this room!" he shouted.
But when he pushed open the door, he froze.
He clearly saw a small figure shrouded in a black trench coat standing by the window, a black crow perching on her shoulder, tilting its head to look at him.
"Who are you?" the young man asked in astonishment before yelling, "Help me!"
The room filled with laughter as clear and pleasant as silver bells, "I'd love to help you because my sect has decreed to never harm ordinary people nor kill Gu Masters without malice. So, I came here to see which of you deserves to die."
"I arrived and heard you boast about your Heavenly Centipede killing countless people and heard you planning to gather a thousand Gu Masters to slaughter Heshenghe, proving you're a Gu Master with malicious intentions. Killing you fully complies with the sect's teachings."
"So, die and experience the true agony of being devoured by insects!"
With that, the individual under the black coat extended a hand, long and white like sculpted jade, and playfully snapped her fingers.
Instantly, all the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu went berserk.
They violently attacked, tearing at him, and more Gu Worms bit through his skin, burrowing into his flesh, beginning to devour him.
In almost no time, he collapsed to the floor. The woman with a white chin hidden beneath the cloak's hood saw clearly; blood gushed out where the young man lay covered by the countless Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu.
With the window open, she hummed softly with a voice crisp as a nightingale.
"Dim lights hang in mid-air, in snowy night's came the sound of cicadas. Genius was redeemed by the gods, greed fell into the pool of blood..."
Amidst the soft lullaby-like humming, the petite figure concealed by the trench coat lightly leapt onto the window sill. The difference in temperature from inside to out caused the wind to flutter the coat's hem, revealing her round, long, denim-clad legs beneath.
From the ankle, like a sculpture of white jade, a delicate whimsical anklet with several hanging bells jingled in the wind and snow, chiming pleasantly like little wind chimes accompanying her lullaby.
Like an enchantment, it caused the brain of the young man lying in the pool of blood to freeze and repeatedly follow her singing in his mind.
"Dim lights hang in mid-air, in snowy night's came the sound of cicadas. Genius was redeemed by the gods, greed fell into the pool of blood..."
Meanwhile, back at Heshenghe Mountain Villa, the charming Ye Guyun, with her little tiger teeth, glared angrily at the closed door in front of her, knocking as she angrily protested, "Shen Qiang, you said I could follow you, so why can she stay with you and not me? You better explain this to me!"
At this moment, the door opened a crack, and Shen Qiang, in his pajamas, handed out a packet of spicy chicken feet, smiling, "Be good, don't fuss. Go have a snack."
Ye Guyun, with her cute tiger teeth, lit up her eyes, grabbed the spicy chicken feet excitedly, "Alright, alright, I forgive you."
But moments later,
from the rear of Heshenghe Mountain Villa came her piercing scream.
"Fire, fire, fire! My mouth's on fire, get me some water!"
