Chapter 1239: Exterminating Poisonous Insects

Xiao Zheng’s lips curled slightly upward, and after looking at Alin Zhen Suo for a few seconds, he also said, "Then let’s cut the crap and see the real deal under our hands."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng assumed an attacking stance, while highly concentrating his spiritual power, closely monitoring everything around him.

Should Alin Zhen Suo be secretly manipulating some insects, Xiao Zheng must ensure he discovers them at the first moment and avoid being caught off guard.

Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words and seeing his actions, Alin Zhen Suo burst into laughter.

After a moment’s thought, for safety’s sake, Alin Zhen Suo decided to detach a small jar from around his neck.

Close combat had always been the weakness of the Gu Master’s profession, so when confronted with Xiao Zheng’s terrifyingly strong power, he decided to use his most proficient skills to deal with Xiao Zheng.

Seeing the other party remove a small jar from his neck, Xiao Zheng heightened his vigilance even further.

And in the next second, he watched the guy opposite him smash the jar hard onto the stone ground.

With a bang, the stone directly split the jar in half, releasing a plume of black smoke.

The smoke spread from the jar, swiftly drifting toward Xiao Zheng as if blown by the wind, resembling a black mist.

Xiao Zheng knew that this black mist consisted of tiny insects, crowded together and flying over, appearing just like a black fog.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, watching these insects float toward him, and hurriedly channeled the power of the Golden Bone within him, beginning to fortify his body, enveloping himself with this power.

Indeed, the power of the Golden Bone was exceedingly strong, making Xiao Zheng feel somewhat reassured as his body embraced these energies.

This power was not just a protective barrier; because it belonged to Xiao Zheng, he could sense any fluctuations when it was eroded or attacked.

With this protective barrier in place, no insect could enter Xiao Zheng’s body unbeknownst to him.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, steeling himself, and struck toward the black mist.

Though the black mist was composed of insects, they were under Alin Zhen Suo’s control. Upon seeing Xiao Zheng’s action, he willed the insects to disperse immediately, causing the mist to vanish as if disappearing in midair.

However, in Xiao Zheng’s view, the insects still existed, just separated.

The tiny insects nearly invisible to the naked eye floated densely in the surrounding space.

Though invisible, Xiao Zheng knew they swarmed and enveloped him completely.

Xiao Zheng waited quietly, refraining from any attacking stance. With so many insects floating around, recklessly attacking would only deplete his strength in vain, offering no advantage.

Alin Zhen Suo stood at a short distance, watching Xiao Zheng ensconced among the insects, not reacting or attacking, and sneered inwardly.

Initially thinking this guy was quite formidable, he now realized it was merely due to his immense strength.

"Seems you’ve never encountered our profession and haven’t experienced its terrifying aspects; now I’ll show you," Alin Zhen Suo laughed loudly, lightly clenched one hand toward Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng instantly felt the insects floating around rush densely toward his body.

He suddenly raised a fist, aiming at the direction where he felt most insects, and swung a punch.

This punch proved remarkably effective, as Xiao Zheng felt the insects beneath his fist instantly crushed into powder, killed outright.

But with the remaining insects already drawing close, Xiao Zheng hurriedly swung his fists again, unleashing them rapidly, seven or eight punches in all, further decimating swathes of insects.

Nonetheless, it wasn’t enough for Xiao Zheng; too many insects swarmed all around, densely filling the surrounding space.

The range of Xiao Zheng’s attacks was still too small, leaving numerous insects unscathed, clinging tightly to his body.

It was as if he stood there with insects suddenly placed upon him, not felt yet but enough to make one’s skin crawl.

Xiao Zheng’s hairs stood on end; he felt tiny waves on his shield from the myriad insects, unsettling him internally.

Disliking this prickly sensation, Xiao Zheng struck himself once more, brushing his body.

Alin Zhen Suo saw Xiao Zheng’s ludicrous actions from afar, laughingly taunting, "Don’t waste your effort; the horror of our profession lies in its omnipresent attacks,

Even if your power is stronger, you can’t kill all the insects. As long as some infiltrate your body, I can..."

Before finishing, Alin Zhen Suo suddenly froze, staring incredulously at Xiao Zheng, eyes widened.

He could feel that the insects he released had all severed contact, not a single one remained.

Seeing Xiao Zheng approaching, Alin Zhen Suo finally snapped back, exclaiming, "How did you do that?"

Xiao Zheng smiled silently without replying, maintaining his pace as he walked forward.

Alin Zhen Suo’s brow furrowed slightly, and he removed three jars from around his neck, differing in size—the largest as big as a fist, the smallest no larger than a thumb joint.

He slammed all three jars to the ground, releasing plumes of differing colored smoke that surged swiftly toward Xiao Zheng.

Alin Zhen Suo’s face bore a confident smile as he raised his head to look at Xiao Zheng, declaring, "If you can survive this time, I’ll spare your life!"

Alin Zhen Suo’s cocky words nearly made Xiao Zheng burst into laughter.
