Chapter 879: Hunting Evil Spirits (Part 2)

Roar—

The Evil Bug let out a triumphant screech, suddenly opening its bloodthirsty mouth to bite down on Wang Chen, attempting to swallow him whole!

However, Wang Chen stepped forward, his figure flickering slightly, and in an instant, he disappeared from sight.

Leisurely Courtyard of Thousands of Miles!

The greatest strength of this spell lies in its ability to break through barriers. The bindings imposed on Wang Chen by the Evil Bug were clearly insufficient to restrain his destructive power.

Thud!

The Evil Bug bit down on a mouthful of dirt and stones.

At the same time, Wang Chen reappeared a hundred steps away, a shining silver flying sword hovering above his head.

Longyuan Sword, go!

The Evil Bug was covered in thick rocky armor, providing it with powerful resistance against lightning techniques.

Fire attacks would likely have an even lesser effect!

To truly counter such an enemy, he would need wood techniques.

However, Wang Chen only possessed a few basic wood techniques suitable for cultivating spirit fields, none of which could be used effectively.

Therefore, he decisively summoned his life treasure flying sword.

Kill!

“Swift!”

Wang Chen pointed with his sword finger, and the Longyuan Sword transformed into a streak of flowing light, instantly crossing over a hundred steps.

Crack!

A deep sword scar immediately appeared on the large head of the Evil Bug.

The defense of the head was no weaker than that of the rocky armored body; in fact, the top of its head was the most solid and sturdy part.

But Wang Chen, using his Golden Core true essence to empower his life treasure flying sword, unleashed the sword’s true destructive power. The invincible sword energy sliced through the tough outer shell, penetrating deep inside.

A foul, greenish liquid gushed out!

Roar—

The Evil Bug howled in pain and instinctively rolled its body.

Yet, the Longyuan Sword clung to it like a maggot, swirling around and unleashing a series of slashes, cuts, and thrusts, with sword energy crisscrossing in the air, accompanied by the sounds of thunder!

Wang Chen was executing the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

The Thunderbolt Sword Technique was not a high-level flying sword technique; it was a swordsmanship that started from the Qi Training level at the Purple Palace, just slightly better than the most basic Sword Control technique.

However, the greatest feature of this sword style was its speed—quick and agile, as fast as lightning. When mastered at the highest level, it could unleash thunderous sword energy, often catching opponents off guard and securing the victory in combat.

Wang Chen had achieved perfect mastery in the Thunderbolt Sword Technique; with his Golden Core cultivation level, he effortlessly maximized the characteristics of this lower-level sword style.

Most importantly, Wang Chen’s powerful divine sense ensured that he could maintain precise control even at such high speeds!

Though the Evil Bug’s defenses were incredibly strong, its massive size affected its reaction time. Facing the relentless assault of the Longyuan Sword, it became unable to defend itself effectively, and its injuries continually increased.

Against such a target with exceptionally high defenses, Wang Chen was both experienced and patient.

He did not seek to eliminate the enemy with a single strike; instead, he focused on skillfully controlling his flying sword, gradually peeling away the target’s defenses layer by layer, much like stripping away the shell of bamboo shoots.

As time passed, the rocky armor covering the Evil Bug’s body began to crack and crumble, exposing the relatively weak shell within to the sharp edge of the Longyuan Sword.

The Evil Bug wanted to fight back, being a third-grade “ferocious” entity, but every time it attempted to attack Wang Chen, it would immediately face a storm of blows!

In just a short time, the Evil Bug accumulated hundreds of wounds from head to tail.

Its rocky armor was indeed thick and sturdy, capable of gathering surrounding dirt to repair itself; otherwise, any other third-grade Evil Beast would likely have been dismembered by now!

Even so, the Evil Bug could not withstand being so passive; it roared and turned to quickly dart back towards the ground hole it had emerged from.

Trying to escape?

Wang Chen would never allow the prey he had in his grasp to get away!

He used Shortening the Earth to instantly appear in front of the hole, pressing his left palm down with great force.

Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

Boom!

The bottomless hole instantly collapsed under the powerful impact of his fist power.

The soft earth immediately turned into hard rock.

Solidify mud into stone!

This was yet another low-level spell that Wang Chen was most familiar with and skilled at.

Bang!

The Evil Bug crashed into the ground, its head violently colliding with the unyielding rock.

Although the rock created by the spell cracked from the impact, the Evil Bug’s hope of escaping back underground was also shattered!

Before it could react, a large net suddenly covered the sky and descended upon it.

Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil!

Wang Chen had not used this treasure to deal with Evil Spirits and spirit beasts for a long time.

Today was the day for it to shine once again!

The Evil Bug could not dodge, becoming completely ensnared in the Exorcising Net, which tightened around its deep sword wounds, reaching its very core.

The dark forces within the Evil Bug were immediately drained and devoured by the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil.

Only then did the Evil Bug realize the gravity of its situation. As it attempted to break free from this merciless restraint, it found itself subjected to even harsher suppression and control.

If the Evil Bug were at its peak state, capturing it with Wang Chen’s Exorcising Net would not have been easy.

But now it resembled a drowning dog, suffering relentless blows while being squeezed for its remaining value!

The more the Evil Bug struggled, the more dark forces the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil absorbed. When it gathered the last of its strength to attempt an escape, it tragically discovered that it had been tied up like a rice dumpling!

Wang Chen held the net ropes in his left hand, continually suppressing the Evil Bug’s rebellion, while his right hand still controlled the flying sword, guarding against any potential Evil Spirits and Spirit Beasts that might appear nearby.

Sure enough, ghostly shadows began to emerge.

But Wang Chen was no ordinary person; he would not be fooled by such small tricks. He immediately sent forth his flying sword to strike down the enemies.

Even while multitasking, Wang Chen managed to handle everything with ease. The newly emerged spirits had barely begun to create chaos before they became items that increased his Virtue points.

Such opportunities to earn were truly rare, so he naturally aimed to make the most of them!

There was no suspense; as the dark forces within the Evil Bug dwindled, the once fearsome creature grew weak and feeble, its struggles becoming increasingly faint, nearing the brink of collapse.

Roar—

Realizing it could not escape, the Evil Bug let out a low growl, its body suddenly curling up while a dark red glow flickered at its body surface.

Its power was coalescing!

Self-detonation?

Wang Chen immediately understood what this creature intended, so without hesitation, he infused the Exorcising Net with all his might, maximizing its power.

The net ropes violently tore through the Evil Bug’s shattered armor, ripping apart its muscles within, the absorption power skyrocketing to unprecedented levels, practically akin to crushing bones and sucking marrow!

The red glow on the Evil Bug’s body surface dimmed instantly, and it never regained its vigor.

Because it had been drained dry!

In less than a hundred breaths, this powerful Evil Bug was reduced to a limp condition, its body shrinking significantly, barely making a sound.

In the next moment, a dazzling sword energy descended from the sky, piercing through the Evil Bug’s head!
