This black insect is called the Black Poison Gu. Its name might seem ordinary, but in reality, it is an insect that is even more terrifying and dangerous than the Vajra Gu!

This Black Poison Gu is refined by extracting extremely poisonous Yin Qi from underground.

Initially, the refined product is a grayish-white poisonous insect as thick as a finger, resembling both a worm and mist, constantly emitting a foul Yin aura, with a stench that makes one nauseous. Just a single wisp can poison hundreds of people.

After refining for hundreds of years, the finger-thick poisonous insect becomes as thick as chopsticks, and its color shifts from grayish-white to pitch black, with the smell disappearing entirely.

Further refining over hundreds of years allows the poisonous insect to truly gain a trace of spirituality, shrinking to the thickness of a hair, becoming a real living creature.

At this stage, the Black Poison Gu is exceedingly poisonous, enough to instantly kill even a Golden Core Great Cultivator upon contact.

Moreover, it flies at incredible speed and is adept at breaking through Protective True Qi and body-protecting spells, often killing people without them knowing how they died.

No matter how adept Gu Yuan's swordsmanship is, a mere brush from this Black Poison Gu would be enough to leave him without a burial place.

As for the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, although formidable and of a higher grade than the Black Poison Gu, it is too late to rescue him now.

Crackle...

The Black Poison Gu landed on the Protective Sword Qi Barrier of Gu Yuan's body, and the incredibly sturdy barrier was easily penetrated by the Black Poison Gu, corroding out a tiny hole.

It must be noted that this Sword Qi Barrier possesses tremendous defensive power, not easily breached even by the Magical Artifacts wielded by cultivators of the same level, yet it was effortlessly penetrated by this Black Poison Gu, highlighting the creature's formidable nature.

Immediately, the Black Poison Gu intended to bore into Gu Yuan's body.

Gu Yuan knew well that once it bored inside, with the terrifying nature of this insect, no matter how powerful his cultivation and divine techniques, he would be doomed!

But just at that moment, a silver light flashed from Gu Yuan, intercepting the Black Poison Gu in its tracks.

"What?!"

Lv Kun just then noticed his Black Poison Gu being clutched by a half-foot-long, silver-glowing centipede, which crunched and chewed the Black Poison Gu between its pincers.

Just like eating hot sticks.

Lv Kun was dumbfounded, his eyes fixed steadily on the bizarre, pure-silver centipede on Gu Yuan's body, exclaiming:

"Silver-backed Centipede?"

"You actually have this kind of exotic insect?! How is this possible!"

As a true disciple of the Gu God Sect, he was no stranger to various Gu insects.

This Silver-backed Centipede on Gu Yuan, though a notch below the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, an offspring of an ancient exotic insect, is still a rare exotic insect, stronger than other nurtured Vajra Gu and Black Poison Gu.

Lv Kun never expected that having a Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly might be tolerable, but raising a Silver-backed Centipede was something he found astonishing and envying.

Though being a true disciple of the Gu God Sect and having a grandfather who was a Yang Spirit powerhouse, Lv Kun naturally lacked none of the formidable Gu insects.

Whether it's the Vajra Gu, the Black Poison Gu, or the Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquito, any one of them could dominate peers of the same rank!

His wealth and techniques were also among the top in his sect's other true disciples.

Yet, compared to Gu Yuan's Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver-backed Centipede, his fell short by a grade.

Being a true disciple of the Gu God Sect, yet having Gu insects inferior to Gu Yuan's, was simply an unparalleled farce!

However, Lv Kun had no time for lamentation.

Because the Silver Sword Lotus formed by Gu Yuan's Silver Flood Dragon Sword was already above his head.

Within the Silver Sword Lotus, a thin and chilling Sword Qi emerged, effortlessly slicing through Lv Kun's Protective True Qi and Protective Magical Artifact, splitting him in two.

"What, Lv Kun... is dead?!"

Seeing this scene, many were stunned on the spot.

Lv Kun's body was split in half, his internal organs visible, with blood splattered all over the ground.

The corpse gradually lost warmth, turning cold.

No one doubted that Lv Kun was dead.

Yet many found it unbelievable.

Yes, Gu Yuan indeed had exceptional swordsmanship and raised two extraordinarily powerful spiritual insects, but Lv Kun, being a true disciple of the Gu God Sect, was killed just like that by Gu Yuan, which left the onlookers surprised and shocked!

But one thing was certain!

From now on, the name Gu Yuan will be widely spread, fame soaring across the land by stepping over Lv Kun's name!

Surely, Gu Yuan would also become a thorn in the eye of the Gu God Sect, who, despite being a disciple of Medicine King Mountain, would unlikely find mercy from them.

Particularly, the Heavenly Insect Ancestor, whose beloved grandson was killed, though he, a Yang Spirit powerhouse, might not personally take action, the entire Gu God Sect, eager to please the Ancestor, would have many willing to take on Gu Yuan!

Many looked at Gu Yuan with a semblance of pity in their eyes.

This young fellow is indeed formidable, but unfortunately, he got himself into a huge trouble, and unless Medicine King Mountain's great figures back him, escape seems impossible!

What puzzled many was that Gu Yuan remained tense, still staring at Lv Kun's corpse, with hints of spiritual light in his eyes as if using some Dharma Eye Divine Techniques.

Gu Yuan certainly wasn't doing this out of boredom; upon activating the Spirit Eye Technique, he clearly saw a cluster of spiritual light flickering deep within Lv Kun's corpse.

The blurry spiritual light was distinctly a strangely shaped beetle, somewhat ethereal, stretching within.

"What's going on, is this guy still alive?"

Gu Yuan's gaze turned steely cold.

He didn't ponder over what was happening; without hesitation, he pointed with his hand, releasing a sharp Sword Qi.

Just as it was about to shatter the corpse, a faint halo appeared on the surface of Lv Kun's body.

This halo appeared thin, but when Gu Yuan's Sword Qi slashed at it, it felt as though striking a tough yet slippery substance, sapping its power.

The Sword Qi slid off and was deflected, striking into the ground, leaving a deep hole!

Soon after, the body beneath the halo began to mend, scattered organs returned to place, and the spilled blood flowed back into the body.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As the wound began to heal, Gu Yuan heard Lv Kun's heartbeat starting, weak at first, then growing louder over time.

Clang!

Gu Yuan was obviously not going to just watch, controlling the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, transforming into a Sword Light, slashing at Lv Kun.

He delivered this strike with all his might.

Wherever the Sword Light passed, a distinct mark was drawn in the void, followed by faint ripples, containing destructive Power.

Yet, as this strike came down, the outcome was no different from before.

The Sword Light struck the faint halo, only sliding off, its Power being somewhat dissipated.

It was then withdrawn smoothly by Gu Yuan, forming a long silver Sword Light like a spiritual snake, swirling around him.

As for the faint halo around Lv Kun, it remained unscathed.

Seeming like a thin layer, still harboring a terrifying Power!
