Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 964 - 254: Panic Spreading? Is Someone Helping the Imperial City Division Stall for Time?_3
"Commander," a Cao Division Chief of the Imperial City Division, who was previously exhausted from trying to block the insect attack and was now striving to recover his strength, couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in shock as he addressed the Second Rank Junior Commandant, "Could it be... that Gu insect from the Blood Gu Sect was actually all show and no substance? Could that Gu insect really just be... a superficial display?!"
"It’s probably not that the Gu insect was all show and no substance, but that Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu was outrageously strong! Have you forgotten what Qiu Long Temple’s Fan Wu did before in our Shangwu Dynasty’s Linhai County and Lingchen County?" The Imperial City Division’s Second Rank Junior Commandant also swallowed hard before responding to his subordinate’s question.
"Moreover... whether that Gu insect was superficial or not, why don’t we just ask this old fellow behind us?" The Imperial City Division’s Second Rank Junior Commandant turned his gaze towards the cart, where the elder from the Blood Gu Sect was. He could clearly see that the elder’s expression was one of utter stupor. Such a dumbfounded expression couldn’t be feigned.
The man seemed to have witnessed something he could hardly accept, giving off the feel of his faith collapsing. Seeing his reaction, the Imperial City Division’s Second Rank Junior Commandant felt extremely delighted! Wasn’t this old thing very arrogant just a moment ago? Now why has he wilted? The surge of satisfaction in his heart made him burst out laughing.
"Gosh... this reminds me of when Brother Fan Wu fought against the Molten River Evil God. Wasn’t it just like this? He completely hung his opponent out to dry! The Molten River Evil God had no power to fight back, and now it looks like the Gu insect is the same, helpless against him."
The speaker was naturally Yan Dalong. He felt... the scene before his eyes was all too familiar; wasn’t this the same as when Brother Fan Wu dealt with the Molten River Evil God? Sometimes, he couldn’t tell... who was the real terror, the demons and devils or the Evil God?
Was it the Molten River Evil God or the massive Gu insect? But the problem was that both of them were utterly dominated by Brother Fan Wu, squashed by him on the ground. Under such circumstances, could they truly instill fear in anyone? It seemed, in fact, that the truly fearsome one might well be Brother Fan Wu.
This wasn’t Yan Dalong slandering Fan Wu, but rather his genuine personal feeling. Especially when he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Fan Wu, he truly felt a hint of fear. That fear was an instinctual sensation rooted deep within the heart.
Even if his conscious mind clearly told him—Brother Fan Wu is one of us, there’s absolutely no need to fear him. Evidently, conscious thought couldn’t control the instinctual fear, which was incredibly hard to suppress.
"There’s nothing to worry about after all; there’s not even a need to be concerned about being affected by the collateral damage of Daoist Priest Fan’s and the foe’s powers." Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Jiuqing was not surprised at all, for this was well within her expectations.
If Daoist Priest Fan hadn’t been able to toss around such a massive Gu insect, now that would have been abnormal! After all, aside from its size, this massive Gu insect didn’t seem to be more terrifying than the prior encounters with far more horrifying beings.
For instance... the Tiger Immortal Officer she had met before, or the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable. Even though those two might not be as massive as this Gu insect, in terms of aura, could the Gu insect measure up to either one?
Although the intensity of aura didn’t necessarily equate to one’s strength, in most cases, the one with the stronger presence is generally the more formidable. At least, that’s what Yun Jiuqing believed.
Xing Fengzi reacted similarly to Yun Jiuqing. After all, both of them had followed Fan Wu for the longest time. Perhaps in this world, aside from Fan Wu himself, no one understood his true strength better than these two did.
"This... was this done by that person who just tossed the Gu insect into the sky?" A cultivator from the Shangwu Dynasty was so shocked that cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, "That person just now, are you sure he isn’t a Heavenly God descending to earth? That must be the work of a Heavenly God, right?"
Having tossed the foe into the sky, this was nothing like the combat between cultivators he had imagined. If this wasn’t the move of a Heavenly God, what else could it be?
After all, in his ingrained concept... cultivators generally fight on the ground, right? He really hadn’t seen any cultivator who could fly!
It couldn’t be that the other party had some special technique for flight, could it? But then, how much mana would such a technique require? However, for such a powerful being, would he even worry about consuming mana?
This scene, witnessed not only by this group up close but also by people in the distance, took everyone by surprise.
The Upper First Commandant of Ying Tian City’s Imperial City Division, riding hard in this direction, drew a slow, deep breath.
If before, doubting that someone was fighting a massive Gu insect was just speculation...
