"He's as good as dead!"
A flicker of shock and regret flashed in Qu Wushang's eyes as he cursed himself.
Even a fool could tell by now that this place had been sealed by Xu Chuan using some unknown means. All their teleportation abilities were useless here!
If Xu Chuan didn't die, they would be trapped here forever, unable to escape.
However, being trapped here meant being picked off one by one by Xu Chuan.
At this moment, they were in a dire predicament.
They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't escape.
There seemed to be no other option but to wait for death.
Jiang Ming's expression was also extremely grim.
What was supposed to be a sure victory was spiraling further and further beyond his expectations.
Not only had they gained no advantage, but they had already lost Xue Wuqing, who had reached the Half-Emperor realm.
Now, even their escape routes were cut off.
They could only watch helplessly as Xu Chuan approached them, a saber in one hand and a bow in the other.
As Xu Chuan drew nearer, the killing intent emanating from him grew heavier.
It bore down on everyone except Jiang Ming and Qu Wushang, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Wu Fa and the person from the Myriad Insects Valley were especially struggling, having just been severely injured.
"Why did you have to come looking for death?"
"Isn't living well enough?"
Xu Chuan spoke with a hint of regret.
The long saber in his hand was raised, ready to send them on their final journey.
"We can't go on like this anymore."
"Everyone, go all out and kill him!"
"Only when he dies can we survive!"
Qu Wushang finally snapped out of his shock. He roared hysterically.
He absolutely could not die. He had only transmigrated not long ago and hadn't enjoyed the good life yet!
He still had a chance!
The remaining five of them were all from top sacred lands and possessed life-saving trump cards, just like Xue Wuqing.
As long as they worked together and unleashed their full power, they might be able to deal with Xu Chuan!
They didn't even need to kill Xu Chuan; as long as they could break his confinement of this place, they could escape immediately!
"Qu Shenzi is right, bring out your final trump cards and kill him!"
Jiang Ming also roared at the others.
Instantly, their words took effect, rousing the other three from their state of resigned waiting for death.
"Kill!"
Wu Lingfeng struck first. His face contorted in ferocity as his aura erupted. His upper body swelled at a visible speed, tearing his clothes apart.
At that moment, his aura reached the level of early-stage Half-Emperor!
This was his trump card, a cultivation technique he had stumbled upon called the Spirit Burning Scripture.
As the name suggested, it used one's martial foundation and future as fuel to forcibly elevate them by a major realm.
After using it, one's cultivation would regress, and their martial foundation would crumble.
Wu Lingfeng would never have used this technique unless absolutely necessary.
The price was too high, too unbearable for him!
But times were different now. If he didn't use this move, he would surely die today!
At this moment, the formidable strength ignited a glimmer of hope for survival in his heart.
Wu Fa was not to be outdone. He produced a bead and swallowed it.
Instantly, his injuries completely healed, and he broke through to the Half-Emperor realm!
A terrifying aura emanated from him.
He completely transformed into a shadow, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Chuan!
The person from the Myriad Insects Valley finally removed the black hood from his head, revealing a pale and gaunt face.
More horrifyingly, worms could be seen wriggling visibly within his facial features.
He looked like a mobile insect nest.
"Xu Chuan, you forced me!"
He spat out those words in a hoarse voice, his face grim.
He had been sent to assassinate Xu Chuan but never expected him to be so powerful.
Especially Xu Chuan's terrifying flames, which had a natural restraint on his insects.
This resulted in his usually invincible insects being annihilated by Xu Chuan the moment they were deployed.
He had also suffered a backlash.
At this moment, the various蛊 worms within his body were in turmoil.
It could be said that even if Xu Chuan didn't kill him, he would have died from the backlash of the worms he raised himself.
But he didn't care.
He had only one objective in coming here: to kill Xu Chuan!
"Merge with me!"
He muttered those words with fanaticism in his eyes.
Instantly, the restless insects within his body quieted down.
Then, a chilling sound of gnawing began.
Hearing this sound, Xu Chuan, Qu Wushang, and Jiang Ming all frowned involuntarily.
Under their gaze, the man's entire body was gnawed clean by insects, leaving only a skin.
Yet, he was not dead.
His skin was filled by the insects, and his skull was occupied by a single massive worm.
His strength had also been elevated to the Half-Emperor realm.
"Die... die... die..."
He stuttered the word "die" intermittently.
This was the terror of the Myriad Insects Valley. The蛊 worm martial artists they cultivated were loyal to the Valley, obeying without question.
Even if it meant sacrificing their lives for a mission, they would not hesitate.
When faced with a life-or-death crisis, they could even sacrifice themselves to the蠱 worms in their bodies, exchanging it for absolute power to counterattack their enemies.
"As expected, ruthless and terrifying. No wonder so many forces have united to hunt you!"
Xu Chuan watched the scene coldly, thinking to himself.
The Myriad Insects Valley was not only ruthless but also vengeful!
He had merely killed one of their disciples, and it had drawn so much pursuit.
They seemed determined to kill Xu Chuan at all costs.
There were now three martial artists on the field comparable to Half-Emperor realm experts.
This gave Jiang Ming renewed hope.
He took a deep breath and then roared.
"Let's fight!"
Instantly, countless beastly phantoms appeared behind him.
They then all surged into his body.
Boom!
His cultivation began to soar.
But at the same time, he seemed to be enduring immense pain, his face contorted, and veins bulging all over his body.
After all the beasts had entered him, Jiang Ming also reached the Half-Emperor realm.
Moreover, his aura far surpassed that of the other three.
"Kill!"
With a roar, the four of them unleashed their most powerful attacks, striking at Xu Chuan.
Instantly, the entire space began to shatter under this powerful aura, and terrifying void storms raged.
The violent aura seemed capable of crushing everything.
If this were happening in the outside world, four Half-Emperor realm experts ganging up on one person would make it almost impossible for that person to survive, no matter how strong they were.
But Xu Chuan remained unfazed, watching the onslaught with a calm expression.
Rumble!
The entire space roared.
This was, after all, within the Two Realms Pass. Had it been outside, such powerful energy might have already torn the entire space apart.
They would have fallen directly into the void.
At this moment, Qu Wushang in the sky was also ready.
He transformed into a blinding white light, high above.
"Xu Chuan, I, the divine judge, sentence you to death!"
