The Martial Uncle watched the giant centipede crawl towards him without any panic.
He merely let out a cold snort and swiftly moved to meet it.
The centipede let out a "zi zi zi" strange cry and, the moment it got close to the Martial Uncle, it violently reared its body up two meters high.
Its hundreds of legs constantly writhed, the joints producing a dense "kaka ka" sound.
Its mouth, as sharp as a great pincer, opened and closed rapidly towards the Martial Uncle, its dense eyes staring intently at him.
It was about to tear into him.
Seeing this, the Martial Uncle's expression darkened as he quickly drew out a talisman.
He slammed the talisman towards the giant centipede.
Following that, he let out a low growl:
"Go forth swiftly, like the law, and shatter!"
The talisman was instantly sent out by the Martial Uncle. The centipede, lunging towards him, was directly pasted by the talisman.
The talisman's light flashed, and with a "weng" sound, it exploded.
The several-meter-long centipede was instantly blown into pieces by the talisman, its flesh and blood scattered everywhere.
Greenish fluids splattered all around.
As this giant centipede was killed by a single talisman, the centipedes in the surrounding forest all began to hiss "zi zi zi."
They became incredibly agitated, crawled around the large trees twice, and then all began to rapidly advance towards us.
Seeing so many giant centipedes crawling closer,
I immediately warned,
"The big centipedes are coming, Old Mo, you take care of Xiao Yao, I'll go help the Martial Uncle!"
"Let the storm rage on more fiercely!"
Old Mo responded with a chuunibyo line, his lightning techniques growing more proficient and ferocious.
The crackling sound of electricity kept the surrounding centipede swarm from getting close.
As for me, I charged towards a giant centipede, my peach wood sword in hand.
The smaller centipedes around me kept jumping onto me.
Although I couldn't achieve the comprehensive protective aura like the Martial Uncle, with my current cultivation, I could still generate ripples of qi.
This sent all the centipedes flying and repelled them.
"Zi chi!"
A centipede rapidly approached, rearing up to bite me.
"You fiend!"
I growled and raised my peach wood sword for a strike.
With a "weng" sound, a surge of qi erupted.
The giant centipede was instantly sliced in two by me.
Its body twitched on the ground, refusing to die.
Meanwhile, the Martial Uncle was already surrounded by seven or eight giant centipedes.
With the Martial Uncle's cultivation, I wasn't worried about him,
But I still wanted to help him, to make things less strenuous for him.
"Fiends, all of you die!"
I shouted again, forming a hand seal:
"Enchant!"
"Swoosh," the peach wood sword flew out. From ten meters away, it directly pierced a giant centipede.
The centipede let out a "zi chi" shriek, its body falling straight to the ground. It wasn't dead and was still moving.
As a result, the Martial Uncle stomped on its head and crushed it.
I flicked my wrist, and the peach wood sword returned to my hand.
Now that my cultivation had improved, the "Enchant" technique was something I could wield with great proficiency.
Within twenty meters, sword control was incredibly easy.
This was a very significant change after my cultivation had increased.
With the peach wood sword retrieved, I once again launched a fierce attack.
Looking at the dense swarm of centipedes, I really wished I could set them all ablaze.
Unfortunately, I still hadn't deciphered the "Divine Fire Talisman" and couldn't master its drawing method.
Otherwise, with a single talisman, I could have burned a large portion of them to death.
My speed was immense, and in an instant, I reached the Martial Uncle's side.
The remaining several large centipedes continuously attacked us.
Their mouths and claws were covered in a greenish-purple fluid, which was poison.
Once touched, if the body was scratched, poisoning would occur.
I leaped up, repelling a large centipede.
Seeing me arrive, the Martial Uncle said to me,
"I didn't expect to encounter such an appetizer before reaching the Bottomless Pit.
With our uncle-nephew collaboration, let's eliminate these fiends."
"Yes, Martial Uncle!"
I immediately replied.
The Martial Uncle smiled calmly and raised his hand, unleashing lightning.
"Crack," a bolt of electricity surged out, and a large centipede charging head-on was instantly turned into pulp by the electricity.
I also flicked out three talismans.
The talismans flew out with "swoosh swoosh swoosh," and I formed a hand seal on my chest.
I softly chanted,
"Go forth swiftly, like the law, and shatter!"
"Bang bang bang," the three talismans exploded.
The potent talismanic energy vibrated around us, causing countless small centipedes to die and several large centipedes to be sent flying.
I raised my sword and began to thrust forward.
A large centipede didn't react in time and was instantly pierced by me.
However, this thing was an insect, with extremely tenacious vitality. Not to mention piercing its body,
Even cutting it in half wouldn't kill it immediately.
Therefore, after piercing a large centipede, I had to follow up with another talisman.
Forming a hand seal and growling "Shatter."
"Boom," another explosion sounded, and I killed another large centipede.
The Martial Uncle, with electricity crackling on his hands, was even fiercer than me, killing a large centipede with just a few palms.
The two of us, working together, had immense combat power.
In a short while, the eight or nine large centipedes all died at the hands of the Martial Uncle and me.
Old Mo, too, was blocking behind us, having killed a large swarm of smaller centipedes.
The insect corpses had piled up to nearly half a meter high.
Just as we killed the last large centipede,
From the depths of the forest, a low "wu wu" growl suddenly sounded.
The sound was not loud but very muffled.
As this sound echoed, the centipede swarm that had been attacking us began to retreat in a tide.
Not only that, but we could clearly see a stronger demonic aura surging from the depths of the forest...
