Chapter 564: Chapter 181: The Descent of the Blood Gu Sect’s Gu God! Fan Wu: Now it gets interesting! (10,000-word mega Chapter, please subscribe)_4
If this were to fall on a human...
Wouldn’t it smash the person into a bloody froth?
"Too slow," Fan Wu exclaimed as his opponent was about to attack again, and with a fierce punch, he struck that worm-like body!
Bang!!!
The opponent’s body was directly hollowed out by Fan Wu’s punch, his eyes on that face bulging out, and the whites of his eyes were filled with streaming bloodshot lines.
The plump body, like a ball, flew backward in one direction.
It crashed heavily into a palace in that direction.
Instantly!
The massive, cumbersome body caused that palace to collapse.
"Pfft!" The half-human, half-insect Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face a complete mess and filled with shock as he stared in disbelief: "How did he do that? I’ve consumed a Gu God! Not to mention, this one is a Gu God of a hundred years—far more powerful than those freshly cultivated Gu Gods!!"
But... even with such a Gu God consumed, he was punched and sent flying by someone?
What a joke!
He hurriedly climbed out from the ruins of the palace, and upon closer inspection, he found a gaping wound in his body.
A copious amount of bug juice and mucus oozed out continuously from this wound.
The accompanying intense pain.
Made him want to burst with rage.
He knew that Fan Wu, who was highly regarded by the old Emperor, was incredibly strong, but he hadn’t expected him to be this outrageously powerful; it made his expression extremely grim: "Such an unforeseen variable had never been anticipated, but fortunately... there are eight other people!"
Just as his voice fell, there was movement from somewhere else, carrying over to this place.
The sudden sound drew the attention of the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine; he turned his head to look and to his astonishment, there was another massive and bizarre half-human, half-insect creature!
What’s this?
"The second Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect!" The Thousand Household Leader clenched his fists.
One such formidable Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect hiding in the Imperial Palace was one thing, but now there was a second one?
Yet, the disturbance did not stop.
"What?!"
The Thousand Household Leader was horrified to see a third half-human, half-insect creature appear. It was identical in its vastness and strangeness, and the aura it exuded was formidable.
Following that.
The fourth one appeared.
The fifth one!
The sixth one!
Until...
The ninth!!
Inside the Imperial Palace, all the palace maids, eunuchs, soldiers, guards, ministers... all stared with wide eyes at each monstrous creature. Everyone was as if splashed with cold water.
Their bodies, spirits, and even their souls shivered incessantly.
"How... How come there are so many?" In a corner of the Imperial Palace, a eunuch squatted on the ground.
His face was full of terror.
"Monstrosity! How could there be so many monsters inside the Imperial Palace?"
"Damn it, I know that guy!" A soldier wielding a spear stared intently at a Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect: "This fellow, he’s a Hundred Household of the Qiantian Divine!!"
"What? A Hundred Household of the Qiantian Divine, why has he turned into such a monster? And why so ferocious, he’s not planning to rebel, is he? Is he thinking of honing his craft?"
"Perhaps from the start, he was never a true Hundred Household of the Qiantian Divine, but a bandit who infiltrated the Qiantian Divine within the Imperial City."
"Qiantian Divine... they’ve been infiltrated? Who on earth are they?"
"These strange bugs, they look like the Blood Gu Sect."
"The Blood Gu Sect!!!"
There were knowledgeable people within the Imperial Palace who recognized that these were all Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect. The name of the Blood Gu Sect was illustrious in the Great Zhou Dynasty and even some neighboring dynasties.
Or rather...
It was notoriously infamous.
...
Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect, one after another revealing their identities, were exuding an extremely oppressive aura, each as powerful as a Thousand Households of the Qiantian Divine!
Having consumed a Gu God, they did not remain untransformed like the Elder of the Blood Gu Sect Fan Wu had encountered earlier.
Their bodies had been completely transformed by the Gu Gods they consumed, or rather, they had been assimilated by the Gu Gods.
Becoming this sort of half-human, half-insect aberration that they were now.
"One has been held up," said one of the Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect, frowning slightly. "Should we go help him out?"
"Remember our goal, at the cost of our lives, we must plunge the Imperial Palace into a sea of corpses and rivers of blood," another Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect replied.
His response made it clear.
That they would not lend assistance.
"Kill the Crown Prince first! As long as we take him out, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be without a leader!" With this command, nine enormous and grotesquely-shaped Sect Disciples of the Blood Gu Sect charged towards the palace where the Crown Prince of Great Zhou resided.
Over to Fan Wu.
The Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect who had risen from the ruins fixed his gaze on Fan Wu, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a hint of a smug smile, and spoke to Fan Wu: "You might indeed be very powerful, but it’s no use, in the end, you’re just one person."
"The palace over there only has one Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine guarding it, at most... you can only hold back two of us."
"Do you think your Crown Prince of Great Zhou can handle the remaining seven?"
