Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 963 - 254: Panic Spreading? Is Someone Helping the Imperial City Division Stall for Time?_2
He definitely didn’t want to die here, he hadn’t yet sought the path to immortality, he hadn’t yet indulged in the splendor of the human world. Even though he knew that many people would die with him, he still didn’t want to die! What Evil Cultivator would wish for death? If they wanted to die, they wouldn’t become Evil Cultivators!
"Mommy... up in the sky, what is that thing?" A naive child, pointing at the giant insect that was plummeting from the sky, asked curiously, "Why is it so huge? Did a cloud fall down from the sky?"
The child’s mother... by now, had already been scared stiff, squatting on the ground, weakened at the knees. Her voice quivered and trembled as she responded, "Silly child, that’s not a cloud falling, that’s... that’s a monster!"
A vegetable vendor had already been so frightened that he abandoned the vegetables on his stall. His face turned deathly pale as he bolted in the direction farther away, screaming, "Run! Run for your lives! The monster is falling down, it’ll crush everyone!"
A cultivator from the Shangwu Dynasty wore an extremely ugly expression but with a touch of confusion, "What exactly is happening? That insect suddenly flew up into the sky, and now it’s falling down again?"
"Oh no... where, where can we run to? It’s over, it’s all over..." The speaker was a corpulent merchant, "My vast wealth, I haven’t even enjoyed it yet, and now it’s gone!"
Panic quickly spread among the crowd, these people were even more terrified than before! Because earlier, they were unsure whether they would be affected.
But now, they not only knew for certain that they would be impacted, they could even be sure... that their lives were beyond saving. Their lives were going to end here!
"My lord, look!" From the distance, an Imperial City Division group, hurrying towards them, someone shouted, "That insect looks like it’s trying to fly down to attack the people below!"
"No..." The commanding officer of the Ying Tian City Imperial City Division frowned and shook his head. He could see far more than the others could, "It... it seems like it was shot down by someone!"
"Shot down... by someone?" The other Imperial City Division officers nearby had looks of astonishment on their faces, "Who could have knocked a giant insect of that size from the sky?"
The commanding officer of the Imperial City Division shook his head, "I don’t know. Maybe, it might have been a deity from the heavens who made a move."
He truly didn’t know; although he could see more, what he saw was limited.
He could barely see that the giant insect was knocked down by someone, but he couldn’t see who that person was.
"We have someone buying us time," instructed the commanding officer, "Speed up and let’s get there! Go!"
Hisss! Someone was buying time for them, the Ying Tian City Imperial City Division? That meant, someone was in battle with that insect!
Goodness! Who could possess such courage?
Could it be... a cultivator from the Imperial Court?
Or perhaps...
A senior from the Daoist Sect?
Or maybe...
A high monk from the Buddhist Sect?
As the people below helplessly watched the giant insect continue to plummet, wearing expressions of utter despair, Fan Wu’s figure in a blink appeared right beneath the giant insect, and just like that, he kicked upward into the sky! His right leg shot out like a spear, tracing a perfect arc as it stabbed upwards towards the falling beast! When his right foot collided with the giant insect’s body...
The incredible force that burst forth shattered a section of the insect’s carapace below it! Under the explosive force, the falling giant insect forcibly stopped its descent and soared upwards once more. This time, it didn’t just fly a thousand meters into the air but shot up over two thousand meters high! Accompanied by its agonized screams, the cries echoed throughout the entire Ying Tian City.
The giant insect, which had put the entire Ying Tian City on high alert, was treated under Fan Wu’s hands as if it were just a... highly resilient punching bag. As Fan Wu followed the creature to an altitude of over two thousand meters, his Demon-slaying Sword was already drawn. With a single slash of the Demon-slaying Sword forward, a blade light burst forth, immediately piercing the giant insect’s body!
Fan Wu’s sword sliced off the entire lower half of the giant insect’s body. The damage and pain inflicted by the Demon-slaying Sword on the giant insect were unprecedented. The piercing and unbearable screams could not only be heard by the people of Ying Tian City. Nearby counties could faintly hear such strange noises, which speaks volumes about just how dreadful its cries were.
Fan Wu casually delivered another sword strike to the part of the giant insect’s body that he had severed. The remaining carcass of the falling insect was torn to pieces by this sword, transformed into a rain of insect fluid that fell from the sky. The drizzle of foul-smelling fluid, when it hit the ground, covered a vast area below as if a torrential rain had just passed, only this rain wasn’t water but the body fluids of the insect!
Due to the immense size of the giant insect’s body, even from over two thousand meters high, the people below with sharp eyesight could still see its lower half being cut off. Such a scene was beyond belief, utterly dumbfounding. Such a powerful insect, so easily toyed with in the palm of someone’s hand?
