Chapter 747: Queen Sundew (I)

    Queen Sundew was having a pleasant day. She had gorged on humans non-stop throughout the morning. Her appetite which was usually insatiable was quite satisfied from the high-level cultivators her armies had managed to capture. And with the application of the aphrodisiac powder, one of her specialties, each person’s vitality had been forcibly stimulated to its peak, providing her with excellent nutrition.

    Her recovery was going well. Just a few more weeks and she would be back at full strength. She was close. After so many months of arduous recovery, she was close.

    She had been heavily wounded in her spiritual sea from overexertion during the siege of Beast God City. That was the closest she had come to death in five hundred years. Her body suffered damage that would have killed any other Spirit King twice over.

    Those vile human Spirit Kings... she would pay them back tenfold. Especially that Huang Wuji; she wanted to tear him into pieces.

    Thinking about it made her angry. And this sudden anger made her hungry again.

    She picked up a human snack. The poor bastard was still dazed, his face flushed red from lust. He was naked from head to toe. She noted with some amusement that his large member was still very erect and glistening with the evidence of his deeds during the morning.

    She licked her mandibles and was about to take a big bite when she noticed something was wrong.

    “Who is it?”

    Two spiritual auras had suddenly flared up like bonfires in the night. Immediately after, her guards started dying one by one with frightening speed until they were all dead.

    She threw away the meal and rose up, furious, “Intruders!”

    Her spiritual aura exploded out, vibrant green energy flowed and into the tree trunk all around her. The ancient tree shook in response. The message was sent. All of her armies would converge here. These two arrogant things would not make it out alive.

    The wings on her back buzzed and she rushed towards the entrance of her lair. She was not afraid. She had sensed the attackers as one Spirit King and Spirit Lord. She was not familiar with the Spirit King’s aura. But against such a force, she was far from afraid.

    Sha!

    Her previous thought was immediately dispelled by a massive surge of spiritual energy. It was coming straight at her. A thin, white beam of destruction that made her fear death even more than Huang Wujis’s attacks.

    Queen Sundew sensed the sudden change and turned to face her new enemy. The shock was evident, even on her insectoid face. Never could she have imagined another Spirit King appearing and such a fearsome one at that.

    “Die, human!” She screeched and made sweeping motions with her front limbs.

    The small spikes that covered her claw-like limbs shot out in a volley. But they were far from normal. Each spike was filled with the energy of a Spirit King. They were each like arrows shot from a powerful bow.

    Chen Wentian extended a palm toward the incoming spikes. But instead of flames, a large contraption that looked like a fat turtle shell appeared and easily blocked everything.

    It was Tortoise Can Fly!

    If his disciples had been watching, they would have been astonished. Tortoise Can Fly wasn’t just useful as an ugly flying carriage. It could also be used as a shield if one was strong enough. Chen Wentian couldn’t before but he could now in his current state... just barely. It was still inconceivable that something this heavy could fly.

    With the tortoise shell raised in front, he continued his charge without slowing down one bit. Queen Sundew was taken by surprise, having turned around and slowed to counterattack.

    The two of them collided in midair with stupendous force. Half of her limbs were crushed as well as her carapace. The mere sound of the impact sent shockwaves that shook the ancient tree and its surroundings. The following surge of spiritual energy crushed the countless insects all around that had been drawn by their queen’s call.
