CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 148: SWITCHING IDENTITIES—LET THE DEMON TAKE OVER (20K UPDATE 1/5)

Fang Qingyu shielded Jiang Wei and handed over the Lin team to the rear Sharp Blade Squad, then exchanged a glance with Wei Banmeng.

The three of them followed closely behind.

They leapt into the dark passage without hesitation!

The passage sloped downward, exceedingly steep and slippery, covered with viscous secretions and shattered biological tissue.

The pulsating energy vessels around were thicker and denser, with purplish-red light illuminating the passage like a fleshy corridor leading to Hell.

The low heartbeats were ahead, carried with feeble weakness after being wounded and... a more primitive fury.

Pursuit!

Everyone’s nerves were stretched to the extreme!

The mother nest is heavily wounded and fleeing; this is the best time to end it completely!

We must not let it catch its breath!

Fang Qingyu maintained the Celestial Stars Field around him, Bone Melting Qi Blood surged, his senses heightened to the limit, wary of any possible ambush.

Wei Banmeng, like a leopard in the shadows, followed closely behind Chen Wenshan, her dual blades shimmering with deadly cold glints.

Jiang Wei clenched her small hand, an invisible heat wave brewing in her palm.

The passage seemed endless, only extending further downward.

The overpowering sweet and bloody scent in the air was almost suffocating, and the energy fluctuations were increasingly chaotic.

After roughly two minutes of pursuit, the front suddenly broadened, appearing to enter a more enormous chamber.

As the heartbeats were almost within reach...

A mutation suddenly occurred!

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Several dazzling, stark white energy beams shot out without warning from both sides of the passage’s fleshy walls!

The beams’ speed was extremely fast, carrying intense corrosive and paralyzing energy fluctuations!

"Watch out!"

Wei Banmeng was the first to alert.

Her figure twisted bizarrely, crossing her blades to block, narrowly deflecting two beams aimed at her, dark purple knife light clashing with the stark white beams, sparking blinding sparks.

Fang Qingyu’s pupils contracted, the Celestial Stars Field instantly triggered!

Buzz!

The beams directed at him and Jiang Wei veered and slowed noticeably upon entering the field’s range! Although not completely blocked, the force was greatly mitigated!

Fang Qingyu delivered a Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash across.

The "Tribulation Ashes" knife light carried with it magma starfire, blasting the weakened beams into the air!

Jiang Wei waved her small hand, an invisible barrier of heat evaporating the stray energy remnants.

However, the attack did not cease!

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Accompanied by mechanical clicks and heavy footsteps.

Over a dozen figures emerged from the shadows of the large chamber ahead, like phantoms silently walking out, blocking the inevitable path to pursue the insect mother!

They wore uniformly twisted spiral eyeball insignia black combat suits, their aura cold and formidable.

The gaze of the Divine Management Bureau.

Immediately drawn to the terrifying parts on their bodies.

The leading figure was especially large and robust, wearing a mask of stark white bone covering half his face, with cold red points flickering in the eye slits.

One arm had transformed completely, the entire forearm fused with a sword shimmering with bluish energy light, the saw teeth slowly rotating, emitting a deep hum.

Dozens of modified martial artists stood behind, with varying degrees of transformation, their gazes dull or filled with murderous intent.

"This road is blocked."

The masked man’s icy, emotionless voice issued through the mask, like metal grinding.

As he finished, the roar of the massive Chainsaw Sword abruptly heightened, like the roar of a hungry beast.

Directly targeting Chen Wenshan’s group.

The icy declaration froze the heated pursuit atmosphere like a cold wave.

"Creation Technology Company?"

Chen Wenshan’s voice echoed like thunder across cold iron, icy and piercing, filled with immense anger at being obstructed and a hint of gravity.

His gaze locked onto the masked leader.

The unique aura mixed with bloodstains, cold metal, and powerful Life Ghost materials on the masked man’s body, along with the signature twisted spiral eyeball insignia, all confirmed the intelligence’s authenticity.

What weighed heavier on Old Chen’s heart was the aura emitted from the masked man...

It was almost akin to his own.

"Hmph."

The masked man only gave an ambiguous cold hum from his nasal cavity, conceding the truth.

The gigantic chainsaw sword "Buzz—!" erupted with a dazzling blue energy glow, its serrated blades spinning rapidly, the deafening screech of torn air cutting straight towards Chen Wenshan.

The cold killing intent, like a tangible cold wave, firmly locked onto Chen Wenshan.

"Get out of the way!!!"

Chen Wenshan’s roar was like thunder, his figure suddenly blurred!

No unnecessary words, just the most direct action!

This Grandmaster from Qingjian shot out like a cannonball, engulfed in the piercing whistle of tearing air, and with an iron fist imbued with cyan glazed gang qi, ferociously aimed at the masked man’s head!

Wherever the fist surged, the thick air was displaced, emitting a piercing sonic boom!

Almost at the moment Chen Wenshan’s voice fell, Fang Qingyu had already crouched down and said to Jiang Wei beside him, "Cover me."

A flash of gold-red light flickered in Jiang Wei’s clear eyes.

Without a hint of hesitation, her small body suddenly stepped forward half a step, hands forming a seal in front of her chest!

"Boom—!!!"

A blaze, far more intense and violent than before, erupted like a volcanic explosion between her palms!

It coalesced into a hot torrent several meters in diameter, carrying a terrifying will to incinerate everything, and viciously smashed towards the location of the Creation Technology modified martial artist!

Hulalala—!!!

The fiery torrent crashed against the ground and fleshy walls, exploding in an instant!

Forming a vast sea of flames, so hot it distorted the view!

The thick biological tissue ignited instantly, emitting a pungent burnt smell, and dark purple mucus vaporized into billowing white smoke!

Dense, scorching white smoke, heavily disrupting energy perception, spread rapidly like a heavy curtain, completely engulfing the core area of the battlefield, especially the direction where Fang Qingyu was located!

Vision was instantly stripped away!

The acrid smell of sulfur and dense smoke filled the nostrils!

"Courting death!"

The cold voice of the masked man rang out in the thick smoke, seemingly enraged by the sudden interference.

He sensed Chen Wenshan’s raging fist aura ripping through the smoke and could only temporarily abandon the lock from behind. The chainsaw sword, carrying a spectral blue light of space-rending force, met the cyan fury without any embellishment!

Clang—!!!!

A deafening, far more terrifying than any previous collision explosion echoed in the center of the smoke!

It was as if two metallic mountains had brutally collided!

The violent energy shockwave burst in a circular pattern, momentarily creating a vacuum zone that pushed away the surrounding thick smoke, revealing two stalemated, terrifying figures at its center!

Cyan gang qi fiercely clashed with the spectral blue energy, the fleshly ground beneath their feet undulating and shattering like waves!

In the midst of this smoke-laden...

The earth-shattering moment of Grandmaster combat!

In the shadows, Fang Qingyu took a deep breath.

He had always been wary of those from Creation Technology Company, those who could connect with the Mother of Insects from the start were unlikely to remain absent even in its dying moments.

And now, there’s no time to waste with these Creation Technology people before us.

Whether their goal is to hunt for something on the Mother of Insects, or to take it back.

Today...

The Abyssal Weaver, must die here!!!

Eternal Night Curtain!!

As the thought surged in his heart.

Centered around Fang Qingyu, within a few meters, the light was suddenly devoured!

This darkness writhed and flowed like a living creature, rapidly enveloping and swallowing Fang Qingyu’s figure.

The shadows underfoot seemed to come alive, creeping up, wrapping around his legs, torso, and arms, eventually covering his entire body.

Fang Qingyu’s silhouette quickly faded and blurred in the darkness.

As if the entire person was "erased" from the physical world.

No energy fluctuation, no spatial ripple, not even a trace of aura leaked out.

One moment, Fang Qingyu was standing there.

The next moment, where he stood was occupied by an absolute dark zone.

Even the ground, scorched by Jiang Wei’s flames, merged seamlessly into this darkness, indistinguishable.

Fang Qingyu vanished.

Completely merged into this "eternal night" woven by his power.

Since martial artists cannot surpass Creation Technology.

Then...

Let the demons take over!!
