Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 239: Chapter 155: Manhunt (Second Update)

“Look up in the sky.”

“That centipede is the Corpse Hand Man Slaughter’s signature poisonous insect.”

“Bring it down.”

As soon as the Righteous Cultivators heard the news, Flying Swords, talismans, Taoist Skills, and other attacks all bombarded it.

The enormous body of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, with its scale armor as invulnerable as a fortress, resisted all attacks, which fell upon it like fireworks on steel, sparking not even a ripple.

However, taking hits without fighting back was not the style of the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

In response to those tiny ants tickling it, the Thousand-Handed Centipede slightly lowered its head, its bony faceplate split open, and hundreds of Purple Light Rays suddenly burst forth.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, the high-temperature beam twisted the air and struck the Righteous Disciples attacking from the ground.

Many disciples, with insufficient cultivation, didn’t even have the time to scream before being directly melted by the extreme heat. Hot winds swept across the ground, creating hundreds of holes on the surface as rocks and soil turned into bubbling, boiling lava.

Countless disciples died instantly from that strike; those lucky enough to survive, with higher cultivation, were also pale and terrified as they watched the sky, their numerous attacks nearly all extinguished in a blink.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede continued to fly higher, getting farther and farther from the ground, escaping the reach of most disciples’ attacks.

The ordinary Yunling Realm disciples lacked the ability to fly, making them almost no threat to the Thousand-Handed Centipede in these circumstances.

But things were not so smooth. While these ordinary disciples couldn’t fly, there were always some exceptions.

The reckless actions on Su Jie’s part merely enraged the numerous Righteous Disciples.

Two figures rapidly ascended from the ground, chasing after the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

One of them rode a Flying Spiritual Beast, a massive lion with a mane like a blazing flame, standing ten feet tall.

The other person used Sword Control, dragging streaks of Sword Light and leaving a trail of sonic booms as he relentlessly pursued.

“Fire Lion Ren Yunchang.”

“Ming Wang Sword Wang Chong”

Xiao Fengyuan recognized the two approaching figures, noting that neither was a simple character.

Indeed, anyone who could master flight in the Yunling Realm was not ordinary.

Su Jie lowered his head, looking at the two pursuing him, and snapped his fingers with his right hand, “Heavenly Thunder.”

Thunder boomed!

The void’s Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder fiercely struck down. Wang Chong skillfully dodged with his Flying Sword, but Ren Yunchang, who rode the giant lion, chose to withstand it but clearly underestimated the power of the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder.

The giant lion under him howled miserably from the electricity; his own hair stood on end like porcupine quills, his skin charred and cracked, bleeding profusely.

Just as he became stiff, the Thousand-Handed Centipede suddenly decelerated, turned around, and its gaping jaw opened wide.

Under the shocked gazes of countless Righteous Disciples below, the Thousand-Handed Centipede directly swallowed both the giant lion and Ren Yunchang in one bite.

Ah!

You could hear something struggling inside the stomach of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, and screams emanated from it.

But within just a few seconds, everything returned to silence. The so-called Fire Lion Ren Yunchang, in the face of the Mid Grade Five Refinement Thousand-Handed Centipede, was merely a bite-sized matter.

“Brother Ren, Corpse Hand Man Slaughter, I want you to pay with your life.”

Wang Chong roared in grief and fury, his eyes splitting from rage as he slashed down a Spiritual Energy Giant Sword ten meters long, directly at Su Jie.

The thousand-hand centipede flicked its tail, shattering the Spiritual Energy Giant Sword outright.

“Go join your brother now,” he said.

With a cold laugh, Su Jie watched as the thousand-hand centipede opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black mist that instantly enveloped Wang Chong.

It was the Death Decline Curse Cloud, and the unsuspecting Wang Chong had no time to dodge. Under the terrifying curse, his skin instantly lost moisture and became as rough and aged as tree bark, sprouting dense age spots and shrinking into a dried, skeletal corpse as his life force dissipated like a siphon.

“Ah… you demon… demon!!!”

Wang Chong’s pupils gradually dilated, and after his final words, his vital breath ceased, leaving him like a piece of withered wood. His flesh, bones, and organs all decayed, scattered into the heavens by the fierce wind, vanishing into the high sky.

This battle had lasted only briefly, and the two experts whom the Righteous Disciples had pinned their hopes on died at the hands of the thousand-hand centipede, leaving the ground disciples gaping in disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity.

“Hey, Su Jie, you better fly fast; there’s a big one coming after us,” someone called out.

Su Jie had barely had a chance to rejoice when he suddenly heard Ning Xinyue’s anxious voice.

Turning his head, Su Jie saw a rage-filled elderly man flying unaided toward them in the distance, the mark of the Secret Realm Elders who required no external tools for flight.

“Really, even an Elder has come out,” Su Jie thought with a jolt and promptly urged the thousand-hand centipede to speed up.

“It’s Elder Xu, Elder Xu has come,” said someone.@@novelbin@@

“Elder Xu, this person killed Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Ren. You must avenge them!”

“We cannot let these few demons escape,” another added.

The morale of the Righteous Disciples on the ground surged as they saw him as a savior.

“Evil demon, stop fleeing,” bellowed Elder Xu, deploying his Taoist Skill simultaneously.

Above the clouds, clouds transformed into massive palms, stacking and striking down towards the thousand-hand centipede.

Where the giant palms passed, divine brilliance was overwhelming like tidal waves, the air vacuumed away by their force, possessing astonishing power.

“Blood Cang Spear!”

Xiao Fengyuan pulled out a black long spear, and from around him, blood-patterned flying knives emerged, slashing towards the giant cloud palms. They only managed to hinder them slightly, barely holding on before being smashed apart by the overwhelming force of the successive cloud palms crashing down on the thousand-hand centipede.

The body of the thousand-hand centipede twisted upward, its massive form breaking through the giant cloud palms. Numerous pale corpse hands tore apart the giant palms smashing from every direction. Amid the fierce collisions, some pale corpse hands broke off and fell from the sky, while more cloud palms were completely annihilated in the air.

“Hmm, this poisonous insect,” Elder Xu remarked, visibly shocked as he watched the thousand-hand centipede, the creature’s combat prowess far exceeding his expectations.

This was no ordinary poisonous insect; its strength made him feel a slight threat.

The next moment, the thousand-hand centipede suddenly turned back, spewing another mouthful of Death Decline Curse Cloud at Elder Xu while also firing several Purple Light Rays.

“How dare you!”

Elder Xu was furious, unable to believe that a mere creature from the Yunling Realm dared to be so bold.

His magic robe lit up with thousands of golden glimmers as layer upon layer of Purple Light Rays were blocked, bursting and sending a rain of fire scattering beneath the ruptured sky, the robe itself showing some signs of damage.

When the Death Decline Curse Cloud reached him, the sinister and terrifying curse began to erode Elder Xu’s limbs and body. His complexion changed instantly as his body uncontrollably began to age, his robust Spiritual Power struggling greatly against it.

In just a few seconds, Elder Xu aged by twenty years, his hair and beard turned completely white, and the wrinkles on his skin were so deep they could trap mosquitoes.

By the time Elder Xu recovered slightly, managing to suppress the curse and regain some vitality, there was no sign of the thousand-hand centipede in the sky; it had long escaped from view.
