Chapter 289: Kill the giant insect

As the giant insect’s body color deepened, the temperature inside it also grew higher.

The rising temperature meant that the giant insect, bound by the icebound projectile, would regain its freedom.

This was completely different from what Liang Yu had envisioned; he had always used alternating ice and fire to put his enemies in dire straits.

This alternation of high and low temperatures could even damage the Titan Python’s scales, so why was there no effect on the giant insect?

Fortunately, this was just one of his commonly used attack modes; it wasn’t as if he had no means of attack if this method failed.

So, Liang Yu pulled out a spirit ball, releasing the Snow Demon inside.

After the Snow Demon appeared this time, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly; if one looked closely, they would notice that the movements of those still fighting each other were slower than before.

Even the giant insect seemed to be suppressed by the Snow Demon; the melting ice layer on its body visibly stopped, and the giant insect’s angry roars could be heard from within the ice.

Liang Yu was quite satisfied to see the Snow Demon having an effect, suppressing the opponent just by appearing.

However, he knew this was only temporarily suppressing the giant insect, and if he just watched, the giant insect would still break free.

But he didn’t dare let the Snow Demon unleash Icebound Breath, especially with the Titan Python’s example and Su Lan’s situation in mind.

It was very clear that while the Snow Demon’s Icebound Breath was powerful, its side effects were also immense; as long as one could withstand the erosion of the residual energy, they would certainly gain similar power.

The Zerg were so numerous that even if ninety-nine percent of them died, the remaining one percent would still be a terrifying number.

At this moment, the Snow Demon seemed provoked and let out a roar towards the giant insect, its sound waves rushing towards the giant insect like a physical entity.

Liang Yu’s brows furrowed; he knew something bad had happened.

He immediately took out a sword emitting a faint blue light from his backpack.

The sword’s name was Wangshu Sword.

This sword was entirely crystal blue in appearance, with a clear, autumn-water-like luminescence, and its blade and hilt were seamlessly joined without a guard, subtly emanating a chilling aura.

It was one of the twin swords from the Kunlun Qionghua Sect in the domestic game “Chinese Paladin 4,” originally an ornamental piece made of jade; Liang Yu didn’t know what material it was now.

Most importantly, this was Liang Yu’s first time taking it out, and it was for actual combat, even though the Wangshu Sword had a minor flaw.

The requirement for the wielder was someone whose birth had an extreme abundance of yin and yang, born at an yin hour and yin moment, with water in their fate, and a rare Heavenly Water Contrary fate.

But putting that aside, Liang Yu, holding the Wangshu Sword (though it was his Mechanical Armor holding it), truly felt a bit like a cultivator if he changed his attire; flying in the sky now, that feeling truly came to him.

Liang Yu looked down at the giant insect from the air, and while the giant insect was struggling to break free from the ice, he casually swung his hand, and a blue sword qi slashed towards the giant insect’s head.

Although the giant insect’s head was protected by a hard carapace, this single sword qi only shaved off a portion of its head’s carapace along with some flesh.

Even Liang Yu was startled; he had only casually swung the Wangshu Sword, and a single sword qi had directly cut off nearly half of the giant insect’s head.

He truly suspected that this toy had been modified to match its game settings.

However, for now, it was better to deal with this ’little bug’ in front of him.

The giant insect, with nearly half its head gone, became even more enraged due to the pain, and under its ferocious power, it instantly broke free from the ice layer.

Not only did the giant insect break free from the ice, but its lower body also emerged from underground; however, the giant insect’s target was not Liang Yu, who had cut off its head.

Instead, it fixated on the Snow Demon, who was watching from the side, staring at the Snow Demon with greedy eyes and rapidly crawling towards it.

Seeing this, Liang Yu recalled the Snow Demon, who had been merely ‘making soy sauce,’ into the spirit ball.

At the same time, he flicked his wrist, executing a sword flourish, and several sword qis slashed towards the giant insect.

The giant insect flexibly twisted its massive body, dodging the sword qis.

Liang Yu was secretly astonished; the giant insect’s speed after its entire body emerged from the ground was incredibly fast.

Liang Yu, holding the Wangshu Sword, flashed forward, actively charging towards the giant insect.

Just as he was about to approach the giant insect, a huge shadow suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

He instantly retreated a distance, and a black shadow suddenly fell where he had been, immediately raising a cloud of dust.

Liang Yu quickly dispersed the dust, and as it cleared, several mutated flying insects with one-meter wingspans arrived as reinforcements.

They opened their bloodied mouths and spat out highly corrosive sticky fluid towards Liang Yu’s direction; Liang Yu quickly dodged sideways, and the fluid splashed onto the ground, immediately emitting a pungent, thick smoke.

At the same time, he threw several icebound projectiles at them, freezing their movements.

Liang Yu concentrated, attempting to harness the power of the Wangshu Sword.

At this moment, the Wangshu Sword’s blue light surged, and he performed a charged sword-drawing motion towards the giant insect.

As for the mutated flying insects, controlled by Liang Yu, they struggled with all their might to break free from their restraints and had no time to bother him.

Feeling danger, the giant insect raised its forebody, its entire body began to swell, and its body also flashed with a red light.

Seeing that the giant insect was also charging up an attack, Liang Yu’s Wangshu Sword slashed from his waist, and a massive, sharp blue sword qi surged towards the giant insect.

As the sword qi was unleashed, the giant insect spat out red flames from its mouth, attempting to block the sword qi’s approach.

However, all of this was futile; the giant insect’s flames were directly pierced the moment they contacted the sword qi, completely failing to provide any obstruction.

Seeing the sword qi about to strike its body, the giant insect extended its two sharp front claws, attempting to grab the blue sword qi and stop it.

But this action was still futile; the giant insect’s two claws accurately gripped the blue sword qi.

Yet, the energy within the sword qi passed directly through the middle of its claws without any obstruction.

Following that were the giant insect’s body, the wall behind the giant insect, and the buildings.

Wherever the sword qi passed, everything was cut in half.

Liang Yu looked at the path cut open by the sword qi, a slight sigh of relief escaping him.

It was his first time using it, so he wasn’t sure of its power, but from the results, it was good.

After dealing with the giant insect, it was time for the controlled Survivors and the mutated flying insects still struggling in the ice.

Liang Yu casually unleashed several sword qis, dealing with them, then put away the Wangshu Sword and approached the giant insect’s corpse.

Looking at the giant insect’s body, cut in half, Liang Yu found the locator implanted in the mother worm’s body within its shattered remains.

It made it difficult for him not to suspect that the giant insect he killed was that mother worm.

But this was only Liang Yu’s suspicion; upon closer thought, many inconsistencies would become apparent.

For such a long time, Liang Yu had not seen any other small insects come to support it.
