As a ruthless and ambitious man, how could he easily trust others? Even now, he still can't figure out when he fell for their trick.
The buzzing sound rang out with a chuckle: "You think we tampered with the pills? Foolish humans, how could your pitiful intelligence possibly predict our arrangements? In reality, we placed the items inside the magical artifacts we gave you. You coveted their powerful functions and naturally couldn't bear to leave them unused. As long as you carry them with you, we'll have the opportunity to turn the tables on you."
"Of course, if you hadn't suffered such a crushing defeat this time, with your hand being cut off, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for me to enter your body."
As he spoke, Lu Sanyuan's muscles began to throb and move, as if something was remodeling and reorganizing within his body.
His face became swollen, with layers of black and white stripes appearing on it, gradually making him look less human.
He turned to look at Zu'an one last time: "Senior sister, my master was killed by your master back then, and his position as sect leader was also taken away. I have always been determined to take revenge, but I never thought that in the end I would be the one to benefit this thing. Kill me quickly, I am in so much pain... I am suffering, ahhh!"
With a heart-wrenching scream, black bone spurs sprouted from his arms and thighs, and his back split open, revealing two pairs of shell-like armor. Beneath the armor, the muscles twisted and turned, followed by the emergence of several pairs of fleshy buds.
The granulation tissue expanded at a visible speed, forming wings as thin as cicada wings.
At this point, his head was no longer recognizable as his original face; instead, it was the head of a monster with a pair of huge mouthparts on either side.
It gleamed coldly, like two scythes of death.
"What kind of monster is this?!" Even though the members of the Demonic Cult had fought many battles and even hunted some ferocious beasts, they had never seen this thing before.
The visual impact of seeing the usually imposing vice leader transformed into a giant insect or something similar is truly explosive.
"It really is those demons!" Zu An's expression was icy. In fact, he had already guessed it. Who else but those demons from another world would have this ability?
Unfortunately, despite the imperial court's best efforts, it was unable to prevent the spread of the evil cult.
Chi Fuzi, who was closest to Lu Sanyuan, finally came to his senses and instinctively wanted to run away, but unfortunately, spatial teleportation had been banned here, and his own movement skills were not his forte.
He had barely taken a step when the giant demonic insect caught up with him. Its scythe-like mandible clamped down, and Chi Fuzi screamed as he was severed in two at the waist.
The Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Venerable hurriedly retreated. Although Chi Fuzi was powerful in terms of rune arrays and relatively weak in terms of physical body, he was still a Venerable and his physical body wouldn't be too weak. However, he was cut in two in an instant by the opponent...
At this moment, Akaburi was still conscious in his upper body and instinctively crawled away, his face full of terror: "Save me...save..."
The next second, the giant worm's chest cavity suddenly opened, and the ribs inside turned into two rows of hard teeth, swallowing Chi Fuzi's body whole in one gulp.
Everyone: "..."
Isn't its mouth supposed to be on its head? Why is there another mouth on its chest?
But no one cared about that anymore; they ran desperately outside, trying to get as far away from the monster as possible.
At this moment, the demonic insect vibrated its wings, emitting a series of ear-piercing buzzing sounds.
Many soldiers on the outermost circle suddenly clutched their heads in pain, and then bone spikes began to sprout from their shoulders and limbs, causing them to rapidly transform into insects.
They didn't have Lu Sanyuan's strong resistance. Almost in the blink of an eye, they turned into demonic insects, looking almost exactly like the previous one, the only difference being that they were much smaller.
The followers who were running out bumped into them, and when they opened their mouths, streams of acid sprayed out.
Ah~
A series of shrill screams rang out as those at the front were caught off guard and sprayed, then began to dissolve, eventually turning into pools of green slime.
Then the insects began to attack indiscriminately, and soon many more believers lost their lives.
In fact, most of those present were elites of the Demonic Sect. If they had faced the enemy head-on, they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.
Having just witnessed the terrifying scene of Lu Sanyuan transforming into a demonic insect, and the instant death of the Ghostly Venerable, and now seeing these soldiers also transformed into those insects, their courage was robbed, and how could they possibly organize any decent resistance?
Although there were some determined individuals like Li Feiqing and Fatty Hu calling on their comrades to fight the enemy together, their side was already a disorganized mess and was simply unable to resist those demonic insects with a unified will.
Just then, a silvery moonlight enveloped the earth, and a beautiful crescent moon seemed to appear in everyone's eyes.
The next second, the demonic insects stopped moving, and then their upper bodies slowly slid down from their bodies, splitting into two halves with perfectly smooth cuts.
In an instant, all the smaller demonic insects, except for the largest one, were killed!
"Long live the leader of the Yun sect!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly. Even those who had previously belonged to Lu Sanyuan's defection camp were now genuinely roaring loudly.
Zu An coldly surveyed the crowd: "Hua Fei Hua, Shen Tao Gong, you two should lead the other elders to organize the disciples of your respective sects, and prevent a repeat of the disorganized situation we just witnessed."
"Yes!" The two bowed instinctively, then paused, wondering why she spoke so naturally. However, it was fortunate that she wasn't pursuing the matter further.
At this moment, the giant insect stared intently at Zu'an: "Human, you are strong, but no matter how strong you are, you can't possibly be stronger than that person in the capital. You are destined to become my nourishment today."
