Chapter 103: Defense Rune (One more update)
Duan Gujin took all the Thunder Bombs from Seventh Imperial Uncle's hands, focusing intently on the giant flying insect ahead, looking for an opportunity to strike.
A moment later, Duan Gujin threw the Thunder Bomb in his hand towards the giant flying insect.
A loud boom was heard, and Duan Gujin saw the Thunder Bomb blast open a bloody gash on the giant flying insect.
Initially, he thought the Thunder Bomb would wound the giant flying insect, but when he saw the bloody gash healing at a visible rate, he realized the giant flying insect possessed terrifying regenerative abilities.
"It seems I need to use another method!"
Duan Gujin deduced that the giant flying insect must have some abilities unknown to him, which could give it an advantageous position in battle.
Duan Gujin knew that to eliminate the giant flying insect, he must give his all in one swift effort.
Otherwise, the regenerative abilities of the giant flying insect would prove difficult to handle.
Now, his last resort was the Thunder Bomb in his hands.
"How can I maximally unleash the power of these Thunder Bombs?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and after looking around for a while, he thought of a plan.
"I should lure it into the Lost Illusion Array!"
Thus, Duan Gujin secretly communicated with Seventh Imperial Uncle, asking him to make arrangements to lure the giant flying insect into the Lost Illusion Array.
It turned out that after defeating Cao Dingtian's army, Seventh Imperial Uncle had his subordinates set up a new Lost Illusion Array outside the Imperial Mausoleum.
Although the hastily built Lost Illusion Array that his subordinates set up now was far less powerful than the one they originally created.
"Good!"
Seventh Imperial Uncle immediately agreed to Duan Gujin's suggestion.
"Everyone, spread out! Move towards the center of the Lost Illusion Array!"
Seventh Imperial Uncle immediately issued the order, directing his subordinates toward the central position of the Lost Illusion Array.
Soon, Seventh Imperial Uncle and his subordinates entered the center of the Array.
When the giant flying insect realized that only itself and Duan Gujin remained, it immediately came to its senses.
"You're all dead!"
At this moment, Corpse Eating Poison Man was becoming disoriented.
His confusion was related to the potion he consumed earlier.
That potion allowed him to temporarily transform into a giant flying insect, granting him formidable abilities but also impairing his normal cognitive functions.
Thus, when Seventh Imperial Uncle and his subordinates left, he didn't notice.
By the time Seventh Imperial Uncle and his subordinates completely left, it was already too late.
"Roar roar roar!"
The giant flying insect roared loudly, its wings instantly enlarging behind it.
Seeing the transformation of Corpse Eating Poison Man, Duan Gujin's expression drastically changed, he took a sharp breath and then, in a flash, his body disappeared into the Void.
Seeing Duan Gujin disappear, the giant flying insect's Divine Sense Inspection burst forth instantly.
It quickly locked onto Duan Gujin's figure, knowing he had sneaked into a nearby Array.
"You little thing! Do you think just an array like this can stop me?"
The giant flying insect soared into the sky and then heavily landed on the protective shield of the Lost Illusion Array.
With a thunderous boom, the Lost Illusion Array was completely destroyed.
When everyone present saw the Lost Illusion Array completely wrecked by the giant flying insect, they were all dumbfounded.
Before, they had used the Lost Illusion Array to eliminate many of Cao Dingtian's troops, and now not only had they failed to eliminate the giant flying insect, but their Array had been destroyed by the enemy instead, leaving them in shock.
Many of the generals and soldiers present were at a loss, having no idea how to confront the giant flying insect next.
Duan Gujin had not anticipated the capabilities of the giant flying insect either. He had initially thought that the Lost Illusion Array could block it for a while, but he had never expected the Lost Illusion Array to be so fragile that it was instantly destroyed by the opponent.
Upon reflection, he realized it was not strange that the giant flying insect could destroy the Lost Illusion Array.
After all, the power of the now destroyed Lost Illusion Array was only a tenth of the first Lost Illusion Array he had set up here.
If possible, Duan Gujin naturally hoped that the second Lost Illusion Array he and Seventh Imperial Uncle set up could perform unexpectedly, just like the first time.
But he miscalculated, as the second Lost Illusion Array he set up was easily destroyed by the opponent immediately.
Duan Gujin quickly drew in a breath of cold air, realizing he had underestimated the giant flying insect.
He extended his Divine Sense to carefully examine the body of the giant flying insect, aiming to find any weaknesses.
Soon, he indeed noticed some unusual signs on the giant flying insect.
"What is that?"
After a while, Duan Gujin observed a six-pointed star under the feet of the giant flying insect, flickering with white light, within which he could sense a constantly flickering pattern.
"What is that pattern?"
Filled with doubts, Duan Gujin racked his brain, contemplating the meaning of the pattern under the feet of the giant flying insect.
After a while, he suddenly realized.
"I remember now! That pattern is called a Domain Medal!"
Duan Gujin's eyes widened as he compared the pattern he was seeing now with the Domain Medal in his memory.
After a while, he came to a conclusion.
"I understand what's going on now, the reason that giant flying insect was able to destroy the Lost Illusion Array is that the Corpse Eating Poison Man had set up a domain-type Defense Rune on it! Luckily, this Defense Rune is not very strong, it doesn't belong to the indestructible inscriptions!"
Duan Gujin quickly rehearsed in his mind and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
After a while, he became inwardly ecstatic.
"I know how to break this Defense Rune!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his mind swiftly figured out a way to deal with the giant flying insect.
"I didn't realize earlier that it had a Defense Rune because the power of the Defense Rune it released was too weak, allowing me to overlook the secret beneath its feet!"
Seventh Imperial Uncle's eyes flickered with divine light. After pondering for a while, he gestured with a wave of his hand, instructing his men to charge toward the giant flying insect.
He judged that Duan Gujin might not be able to handle the giant flying insect, so his immediate priority was to exchange the lives of his men for Duan Gujin's life.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin quickly shouted loudly, telling Seventh Imperial Uncle's men to retreat.
"Retreat immediately, disperse in all directions, I have a way to deal with him!"
Duan Gujin was worried that the giant flying insect would launch an aggressive attack on Seventh Imperial Uncle's men since Gan Old Rice's Illusion Array had been destroyed.
If it really came to that, Seventh Imperial Uncle's men would suffer heavy casualties and deaths.
