Chapter 1367
The situation became chaotic. Many cultivators were besieged by the swarm of insects and Rock Snakes. Angry roars and screams could be heard everywhere.
Gu Chen sensed the danger ahead of time and hid in the dark, so he didn't get into much trouble.
Looking at the fleeing Kui Niu and the old Black Tortoise in the distance, Gu Chen gave up the idea of chasing the leader beast.
Firstly, it would be too conspicuous if he went after it alone and would be easily discovered by the old Black Tortoise.
Secondly, the swarm of insects and snakes appeared abruptly. They seemed to be coming for the Kui Niu. If it was as he guessed, there would be other unknown risks if he went after them.
Therefore, Gu Chen gave up on the leader beast and glanced at Peng Fu, who was deep in the swarm of insects.
At this time, Peng Fu was heavily surrounded and was trying his best to eliminate the swarm of insects. Large numbers of silver beetles kept falling.
Gu Chen examined his surroundings. While no one was paying attention to him, he casually performed a Taoist technique.
Divine Path, Lost Sea of Fog!
The white fog suddenly passed through the sky and completely blocked the area within a radius of thousands of miles.
For a moment, the divine sense and the naked eye lost their effectiveness. The whole situation became even more chaotic!
"Why did the fog suddenly appear? Are there other demonic beasts?"
"This fog is strange. Everyone, be careful!"
All the big shots were trembling with fear. The swarm of insects and Rock Snakes were already very difficult to deal with. Suddenly, the visibility dropped to the lowest. It was like when it rains, it pours!
Curses could be heard in the sea of fog, sometimes accompanied by the screams of cultivators dying. Gu Chen was wrapped in fog and completely hidden. He slowly approached Peng Fu.
In the Lost Sea of Fog that he created, he could come and go freely without worrying about being targeted by the swarm of insects. As for the big shots, they couldn't even take care of themselves. No one would think that the Qi Clan's ancestor had disappeared.
"It's endless. How many insects are there?"
Peng Fu's aura was surging like the mountains and the sea. He had just destroyed a wave of insects, and another wave came. He was on the edge of extreme anxiety.
He was worried about the old Black Tortoise chasing the leader beast alone. He tried to break out of the encirclement several times, but he was held up.
Seeing the strange white fog around him, he became even more vigilant. In this kind of visibility, it was very easy to be attacked!
Gu Chen stood a few thousand feet away from Peng Fu, watching the battle between him and the swarm of insects unhurriedly.
As the Sky Shadow of Xing County, Peng Fu was indeed powerful. Every time he waved his hand, dust billowed around him. Each speck of dust danced like blades, and every time the dust exploded, a large number of beetles would fall.
This was the Law of Dust, and it was a part of the essence of the earth. In Peng Fu's hands, it had already become a dao of its own, and his dao techniques were used to perfection.
Gu Chen saw that Peng Fu was handling the situation with ease, and that he was vigilant of his surroundings. He knew that Peng Fu was on guard because of the fog.
If he did not have such vigilance, he would not have become the Heavenly Shadow of Xing County.
Gu Chen observed patiently, waiting for the right time.
The silver beetles had an outstanding talent for being immune to dao techniques. After Peng Fu defeated them, they quickly stood up again.
Coupled with the realization that the enemy in front of them was powerful, the swarm of beetles continued to call for companions, and the number of beetles here gradually reached 655,555.
When this number reached this number, Peng Fu gradually became anxious. If this continued, the situation of ants biting an elephant to death would definitely happen!
He gritted his teeth, suddenly took out a talisman from his storage ring, and threw it out!
The talisman ignited in the wind, quickly turning into a raging fire that burned the swarm of beetles in one direction!
The power of this fire was shocking, and Gu Chen recognized that it was made by the Ministry of Works of Xing County.
Whoosh!
With great difficulty, there was a gap, and Peng Fu immediately tried to break out!
Gu Chen, who was in the dark, shook his head when he saw this. He extended a finger and lightly pointed in the direction that Peng Fu had escaped.
Weng —
The space in that area suddenly seemed to solidify. Peng Fu was shocked to find that his speed had dropped, and he was being squeezed by the surrounding space!
"What's going on?"
He was both shocked and angry. In that instant, the swarm of beetles had surrounded him again, and he was surrounded again!
Gu Chen continued to watch the show. This guy was the Sky Shadow of Xing County, in charge of intelligence and assassination. He must have many trump cards on him.
Next, Peng Fu repeatedly tried to break out of the encirclement, but he failed again and again because of Gu Chen's interference.
Peng Fu became more and more anxious. Under the attack of the swarm of beetles, his hair was disheveled, and he could not hold on any longer.
Although he had killed tens of thousands of beetles, his strength was also greatly depleted!
Just then, a familiar voice came from afar.
"Fellow Daoist Peng, the Old Man is here to help you!"
Seeing the Qi Clan's ancestor charging in aggressively, Peng Fu's eyes lit up.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, thank you!"
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the Qi Clan's ancestor.
The Qi Clan's ancestor worked hard, and the two of them quickly gathered together, ready to kill their way out.
Pfft.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Peng Fu held a short sword in his hand and stabbed it into the Qi Clan's ancestor's heart!
"Fellow Daoist Peng, why?" The Qi Clan's ancestor looked at him in disbelief.
"Don't play dumb with me. You're not from the Qi Clan. You were the one behind all this, weren't you?"
Peng Fu's expression was ferocious. He was not stupid. Just now, he had tried to break out of the encirclement several times, and he had already guessed that someone was targeting him.
From the moment the fog appeared, he had been waiting for the other party to make a move. So when he saw the Qi Clan's ancestor, he understood everything.
"I can use you to attract the attention of these beetles!"
He forcefully twisted the short sword in the Qi Clan's ancestor's heart, then lifted up his corpse and was about to throw it towards the swarm of beetles!
Boom —
The Qi Clan's ancestor's corpse suddenly exploded, and a terrifying flame instantly engulfed Peng Fu and the beetles around him!
"No —"
He screamed in pain. With great difficulty, he escaped the explosion, but his entire body was already drenched in blood!
He was terrified, and like a headless fly, he stumbled around, trying to escape. But suddenly, a black hole appeared behind him, swallowing him in an instant!
Plop.
The heavily injured Peng Fu miserably fell to the ground, and found that he was surrounded by a muddy depression.
The commotion in the Wind Eroded Forest was still earth-shattering, and the chaos was still ongoing. Peng Fu was clearly not far away.
He looked up and saw the Qi Clan's ancestor looking at him with a smile, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"You're not from the Qi Clan!" Peng Fu said fiercely. He was panicking inside.
"Of course I'm not. Didn't you just kill him?" Gu Chen replied with a smile.
"That was on purpose?" Peng Fu came to his senses, and his face was full of resentment.
He thought that he had seen through the Qi Clan's ancestor's fake identity, and took the opportunity to kill him.
Who would have thought that the mastermind behind the scenes had deliberately let him see through his disguise? That was actually just a clone, so that he would lower his guard, and then use the explosion to injure him!
In the terrifying explosion just now, he was too heavily injured, and there was no room for resistance. That was why the mastermind had calmly appeared!
