351: Chapter 339: Centipede-Faced Man 351: Chapter 339: Centipede-Faced Man Fang Geyu cursed under his breath and took out a few Fiery Fire Talismans, which he threw out. The exploding flames formed a huge circle of fire, protecting himself and Li Jiujiu within it. The centipedes, swarming like a tide of blood, seemed fearless of life and death as they surged forward, crashing into the flames and immediately filling the air with a nauseating stench of scorch. Li Jiujiu, though pale with fright at the sight before her, wasn’t idle either. She pulled out a section of silver metal in the shape of a branch from her sleeve, with three lusciously green leaves at its tip. With one hand steadying Baili An’s body, she flicked off a leaf with the other. The leaf fell to the ground and then she rapidly poked the empty air thrice in what seemed to be a nonsensical pattern. The ground trembled, and mysterious crystals covering the earth burst into dazzling light. With a thunderous boom, the ground erupted with countless ice crystal vines that were flexible and had razor-sharp leaves, tangling the swarming centipedes into disarray. The dual defense of ice and fire managed to keep the centipede tide at bay. Fang Geyu gave Li Jiujiu an unexpectedly appreciative look. Blushing, Li Jiujiu said sheepishly, “I know I haven’t been very useful before and always held you back, but I’m not entirely useless, you know.” Fang Geyu merely smiled without a word and looked up at the sky. Below, Baili An stepped out with several more circles of light, darting across the vast, deep sky. His white figure blinked from place to place, each time covering an incredible distance. Fang Geyu commented, “He’s really smart.” Li Jiujiu, puzzled, asked, “Why do you say that?” Fang Geyu explained, “I didn’t even have time to tell him what it takes to kill the Centipede-faced woman. He figured it out on his own. The Centipede-faced woman, born from beneath the earth and connected to the veins of Ghost Mountain, as long as those veins are unextinguished and the demonic power remains, unless you destroy her completely at her root, even if you crush her upper half to mud, she can continuously regenerate.” Li Jiujiu’s eyes widened in shock, “Is this what Ghost Mountain Second Realm is like? Are all demons this monstrously horrifying?” Fang Geyu laughed lightly, with an air of nonchalance, and said, “Is that horrifying? What’s so frightening about powerful demons known and recorded in books? If their strengths are recorded, so are their weaknesses. No matter how bizarre and diverse their abilities may be, there’s always a strategy to defeat them.” As he spoke, Fang Geyu’s eyes held a hint of secretive depth. He glanced at Li Jiujiu and continued, “In this world, what’s truly fearsome is the unknown dark world.” Li Jiujiu swallowed nervously and asked, “The unknown dark world? Geyu, are you talking about…” “The Ghost Mountain three realms,” Fang Geyu said somberly. “Nobody in the world knows where Ghost Mountain’s Third Realm is. Though the path of River of Oblivion is long and complex, there is a path to follow. But the Third Realm of Ghost Mountain, that is the true taboo of the Mortal World.” Li Jiujiu’s mood suddenly turned somber upon hearing this. With such words, she suddenly felt much closer to that taboo. The crimson centipedes kept coming relentlessly. Meanwhile, in the sky, Baili An finally halted his motion, his antennae straightened by the force of the impact. His gaunt body made a cracking sound, as if something from beneath the earth was prying it open. Baili An’s eyes shone with brilliance as Sword Intent surged with the Emotion Slayer Sword in hand. Su Jing’s Spiritual Power from the Chengling Realm was incredibly useful. Channeling it to his fingertips, his Spiritual Power flowed like a river merging into the sea, sweeping along with the might of mountains and rivers in a relentless torrent. The pitch-black night sky was lit up clearly and brightly by the sword fire. A rapid downpour of fire fell from the sky. That continuous fire rain was tinged with an almost imperceptible Sword Intent, seemingly slicing the heavens and earth into countless Space Fragments. The rapid fire rain hammered on the Centipede-faced woman, her body ridden with holes as if riddled with worm-eaten damage, and flames blazed from the wounds. The Centipede-faced woman let out a heart-wrenching roar of rage. Baili An released the Emotion Slayer Sword from his hand, the blade crackling with electric flames as it sped towards the depths of the earth where the giant jointed bones were hidden. The demon energy of the numerous blood-red centipedes dispersed instantly upon the slightest touch from the Emotion Slayer Sword Intent, clearing the earth completely! The Emotion Slayer Sword possessed an unbelievable force, its power even surpassing what Baili An, its wielder, had imagined, closely rivaling Jin Sheng’s Yuanli and Sister Wen’s Divine Thought. There was no joy in quickly determining the outcome with a single slash. At this moment, Baili An was only filled with relief and fear for having survived. He had been unaware at first, but now, having wielded this sword with his own hands, Baili An awoke as if from a great dream, realizing how incredibly fortunate he had been to have survived under this sword on that day. The Centipede-faced woman also seemed to sense the terror of the sword. Its faceless visage split open with a huge mouth, emitting a shrill scream of fright and agony, like some sort of Summoning. As the Sword Intent drew near, the white, rugged body began to crack terribly. Not waiting for the Emotion Slayer Sword to strike truly, a giant mound of earth rose from the ground, and a massive shadow emerged as demonic power surged into the sky. The Centipede-faced woman’s body contorted in a bizarre manner. Choosing self-destruction amidst life and death, her upper half exploded in a cloud of blood, each giant joint bursting apart. And the other end of the body that emerged from the ground seemed to gain incomparable strength and speed, evading the man-eating Sword Qi of the Emotion Slayer Sword. The terrifying shadow broke through the dust, winding through the earth like a giant bone serpent, speeding towards Fang Geyu and Li Jiujiu! Whether it was the ice crystal vines or the wall of fire, nothing could withstand the colossal shadow – they crumbled as easily as if trampled underfoot. Baili An’s face turned pale as he quickly pointed his sword finger at his brow, splitting a Divine Thought from the soul trapped within the body. The Divine Thought ignored space and entered his true body through the brow. Li Jiujiu’s body, which lay sleeping in her arms, suddenly opened its eyes, forcibly awakening the soulless husk, enduring severe backlash, with two fine lines of blood left in her eyes. In a flash, her true body looked towards the massive shadow hidden by the fire and smoke, her arms stretched out swiftly, pushing Fang Geyu and Li Jiujiu far away. Neither had time to grasp that the Centipede-faced woman had changed its course of attack, nor did they expect Baili An, who had been asleep throughout, to wake up and push them aside at this moment. They both reached out to grab his arm, but caught nothing. In the moment they were thrown back, both felt an emptiness in their hearts, even too quickly to experience any additional emotions. Then they saw, emerging from the darkness, the Centipede-faced woman with a man’s face, her mouth full of sharp teeth, biting down on Baili An’s true body. Her massive momentum was unchecked as she barreled through and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. Li Jiujiu stared blankly at her empty hands, utterly dazed. “What stupid daze are you in! Chase after her, quick!” Fang Geyu’s face was covered with dark clouds, shouting to snap Li Jiujiu out of her stupor. Then, he cast a fierce glare at Baili An in the sky, as if to blame him for his meddling.
