My Master Knows It All

”Linghu Gudu.”

The three of them quickly returned, and Sword Lord Hua Yu nodded to everyone and said, ”Daoist Du Gu has no issues. Now, what we need to consider is what to do next. A long time has passed, and the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader has not yet returned.”

”Yes, and we do not know how he is doing now.”

”Those soldier bugs couldn’t harm the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader; he should be alright.”

Cao Zhen realized that in his current situation, dealing with the weak was indeed his forte. Given his current condition, even if he stood still and let these soldier bugs hit him, they couldn’t break through his defense.

It felt as if he were the boss and these soldier bugs were players raiding him.

No, he was even more of a boss than a boss; these bugs couldn’t break his defense and wouldn’t forcefully reduce his health. They truly couldn’t penetrate his defenses!

Given this, since he finally knew there was an Insect Clan queen here, why hesitate? He should directly go after the queen!

There was still a queen inside his Immortal-binding Demon-locking Ding!

Cao Zhen ignored these soldier bugs and instead traced back the direction from which the soldier bugs flew in reverse.

But these soldier bugs were crafty; as he pursued them, he found that the source of the soldier bugs was unknown, and his reverse path was suddenly cut off. He had to stop and continue his search around the area, all the while those soldier bugs madly attacked him.

Although he hadn’t found the exact hiding place of the Insect Clan queen, he could roughly deduce that her position was in this area, making the search process easier. By continuing to look, he would eventually succeed.

As long as the queen continued to send out soldier bugs, he could discover the queen’s hiding place.

Currently, unable to use Spiritual Energy, those queens also couldn’t contact her soldier bugs like before. She was not as aware of what was happening outside, and since her soldier bugs hadn’t returned, she might continue to send out more soldier bugs.

Also, because of the inability to use Spiritual Energy, the queen couldn’t deploy many methods to transport soldier bugs out. The soldier bugs could only fly out from the queen’s lair, and as long as these soldier bugs continuously flew out, he could locate the Insect Clan queen.

Cao Zhen continued to search for the Insect Clan queen’s lair, killing the soldier bugs around him, and finally, after six hours had passed.

”Eh? These soldier bugs are actually flying out from behind the waterfall, Water Curtain Cave? This mountain is probably the first one I’ve seen since entering the Killing Battlefield.”

Cao Zhen leaped, and with his current physical strength, even without using Spiritual Energy, jumping a hundred feet high was not difficult. With his robust physique, he easily passed through the waterfall, entering a cave.

Instantly, a buzzing sound of wings flapping echoed.

One after another, soldier bugs appeared in his field of view.

”This must be the lair of the Insect Clan queen.”

Seeing no one else around, Cao Zhen switched his sword to the Purple Dawn Sword, and as he swung the sword light, one soldier bug after another fell dead.

He advanced forward, pressing on relentlessly.

Soon, his vision was filled with a massive altar, where he discovered that places inhabited by Insect Clan queens were almost always altars.

On top of the altar, there was a heap of various corpses, herbs, and different kinds of resources!

And in the center of the altar was an Insect Clan queen, resembling a caterpillar but over fifty feet long. At that moment, she was glaring with wide eyes, watching vigilantly.

Cao Zhen chuckled.

”The Insect Clan queen is almost immobile, and this queen doesn’t appear to have those tentacles capable of attacking, only a pair of claws that might attack. But how could her clumsy body possibly attack? Currently unable to use Spiritual Energy, isn’t it just a living target?”

Cao Zhen gripped his sharp sword tightly and charged forward, while the Insect Clan queen immediately opened her mouth, letting out a series of screeches.

Immediately, the soldier bugs rapidly descended to protect the queen, while the others crazily attacked.

”No matter how many soldier bugs, it’s useless.”

Because the soldier bugs were so dense and the Purple Dawn Sword was sharp enough, every time Cao Zhen struck down with the sword, seven or eight soldier bugs dropped to the ground.

Before long, more than half of the cave’s soldier bugs were dead, while the queen only continued to screech madly, unable to do anything else.

”Just screaming here?”

Cao Zhen paused for a moment before suddenly realizing that since they couldn’t use Spiritual Energy, this queen couldn’t produce more soldier bugs.

The queen, although equipped with sharp claws, couldn’t move, and therefore couldn’t attack him, so she could only make noise incessantly.

”So, you’re really unlucky to have encountered me. Perhaps you’re the most frustrated Insect Clan queen to die in history.”

After settling all the soldier bugs in this place, Cao Zhen quickly approached the Insect Clan queen with the Purple Dawn Sword, stabbing her.

The Insect Clan queen was truly no different from a living target now. When she wanted to attack, she couldn’t reach the Human Clan, and when she wanted to dodge, she couldn’t move, only able to take the continuous stabs from the other side.
