roar!
A short but aggressive howl filled the mountains and fields. As the howl rang out, a monster the size of half a small mountain slowly emerged from the dense shadows of the forest.
Its enormous body resembled a moving hill, with an overall deep emerald green color, looking like a frozen emerald lake.
"This Azure Wild Insect truly lives up to its reputation as an extremely troublesome existence in the late stage of the Soul Contract Realm."
Above the monster, Qin Luo stared intently at the Azure Wild Insect below, secretly marveling at its power.
"That attack just now, with just a flick of its head, contained enough power to send me flying. And that was just a casual attack. If it were to unleash its full power, this entire mountain forest would probably be razed to the ground."
He shook his slightly numb arm, a tingling sensation spreading from it. With a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he sighed softly.
"It seems that my physical strength is still a bit too much to handle. This is indeed my weakest link right now."
He had deeply realized the importance of the physical body during his brief confrontation with the Azure Wild Insect. With each collision, the immense recoil force spread through his arms throughout his body, causing his blood and qi to surge.
Although the powerful recoil force had been weakened by about 90% after being buffered by spiritual energy, it still took a toll on him.
With this in mind, Qin Luo stopped directly confronting the Azure Wild Insect as before.
His hands quickly formed hand seals, and streams of spiritual energy gathered in his palms, continuously condensing into a sharp and refined spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy condensed into sharp beams in the air, emitting whistling sounds as it hurtled towards the enormous body of the Azure Wild Worm.
When the spiritual energy struck the body of the Azure Wild Insect, it produced a dull sound, like thunder.
However, the green shell of the Green Wild Insect only trembled slightly and did not suffer any real damage.
Its massive body swept across the forest, leaving a trail of broken trees and shattered leaves in its wake.
However, this speed was not considered fast in Qin Luo's eyes. Stars appeared around him, and in an instant, he transformed into a blurry purple light and shadow, drawing an arc in the air and easily dodging the counterattack of the Azure Wild Insect.
At the same time, he continued to gather spiritual energy in his hands, launching wave after wave of attacks towards the Green Wild Insect.
On a hillside not far away, Murong Liyue watched this scene with some surprise.
After these two days of cooperation, she was already shocked that Qin Luo, with his Spirit Vortex Realm strength, could hold off a mid-stage Soul Contract Realm demon beast, considering the vast difference in their strength.
But she never expected that he could even hold off a late-stage Soul Contract Realm demon beast for a moment. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief, and the intense emotional fluctuations even caused the spirit array set up in the surrounding void to become somewhat unstable.
Upon sensing the state of the spirit array, Murong Liyue quickly calmed her mind, and silvery-white spiritual energy surged forth from her hand. In the next moment, under Murong Liyue's control, this silvery-white spiritual energy rapidly changed shape, condensing into spirit seals in front of her.
Upon closer inspection, the number reached approximately a dozen. This speed was vastly different from Qin Luo's slow, one-by-one condensation; it was more than twice as fast.
After the spirit seals were formed, Murong Liyue lightly tapped her fingers, and the spirit seals surged into the void. Each time a spirit seal was merged into the void, a dark blue light would flash in the sky.
As the spiritual seals continued to flow in, these lights slowly spread outwards, gradually intertwining to form a huge, complex pattern, radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.
In just a moment, a spirit array several tens of feet in size gradually took shape, and the surrounding space was shrouded in a transparent membrane, faintly exuding a kind of oppressive power.
Meanwhile, the Azure Wild Insect that was entangled with Qin Luo seemed to sense the approaching danger. It immediately stopped attacking Qin Luo, turned its huge head towards the hillside where Murong Liyue was, let out a low roar, and then charged directly towards the hillside.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's heart stirred. He knew that Murong Liyue was at the most critical moment and could not be interrupted.
Emerald flames instantly rose in his hand, and he rushed forward without hesitation, his figure transforming into an emerald-colored light and shadow. With a whistling sound, his Flame Rhythm Palm slammed down hard on the head of the Azure Wild Insect.
The Azure Wild Insect made no attempt to dodge; lacking any intelligence to begin with, it charged straight at him. In an instant, the Flame Rhyme Palm and the Azure Wild Insect's head collided violently.
"boom!"
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, echoed through the forest.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy rapidly spread outwards, uprooting the surrounding trees and sending them flying into the distance.
Qin Luo felt a tremendous force of recoil coming from his palm, while his spiritual energy surged rapidly within him, offsetting most of the recoil.
But the moment he felt the backlash, Qin Luo's eyes flickered, and then he completely dispelled the spiritual energy that was resisting him.
A sharp pain shot through his arms, and the force of the recoil sent him flying several hundred feet away. He managed to regain his footing, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Murong Liyue on the hillside finally took action. Light flashed across the hillside as beams of spiritual energy intertwined, forming a massive and complex array.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy enveloped the Azure Wild Insect, causing the space around it to distort slightly.
"Activate the Beast-Trapping Spirit Array!"
As that delicate shout rang out.
The array high in the sky suddenly erupted with intense light, which transformed into countless chains of spiritual energy that shot towards the Azure Wild Worm. These chains of spiritual energy were extremely fast, instantly wrapping around the Azure Wild Worm's massive body.
At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge frantically towards the spirit array. The Illusionary Beast Trapping Spirit Array began to operate initially, and some blurry beast silhouettes gradually emerged within the array.
After the beast's shadow appeared, it quickly pounced on the Green Wild Insect that was bound by chains and began to fight it.
After the enormous body of the Azure Wild Worm was restricted by the Illusionary Beast Trapping Spirit Array, it twisted its body angrily, making the chains on its body rattle loudly.
The enormous mandibles continued to tear at the approaching beast shadows, but each time it tore one apart with all its might, a new beast shadow would quickly condense within the formation, endlessly and inexhaustibly. These newly appearing beast shadows immediately swarmed towards the Azure Wild Worm, continuing their fearless attacks.
