Chapter 734 - 733: I Was Defeated by a Mosquito? I’ll Give You Everything I’ve Got

Tang Jiesheng froze.

He stared intently.

And saw that the one blocking the Soul-Collecting Butterfly was none other than Gu Yuexi’s White-striped Aedes Mosquito!

’Are you serious?’

’You’re just a tiny mosquito, smaller than the blade of my axe.’

’And you’re actually trying to block a full-power strike from a Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer Cultivator?’

’Are you insane?!’

’No, that’s not right.’

’Mosquitoes don’t even have brains!’

A cruel smile appeared on Tang Jiesheng’s face.

"Hmph!"

"You tiny mosquito, you’ve come to die too!"

"I’ll grant you your wish!"

Tang Jiesheng roared.

He channeled the Divine Power of the Celestial Demon Axe, strengthening it even further.

With a single swing, he intended to chop the mosquito, along with the Soul-Collecting Butterfly behind it, into ash!

The massive axe, crackling with even more intense lightning, slammed down hard on Chu Sheng’s mosquito leg.

However...

CLANG! A piercing metallic screech rang out.

Tang Jiesheng felt his arm go numb.

The flesh between his thumb and forefinger split open, and blood streamed down his hand.

He almost lost his grip on the Celestial Demon Axe!

Then,

A massive recoil force shot up the handle of the axe and slammed into his chest.

Tang Jiesheng completely lost control of his body.

STUMBLE, STUMBLE, STUMBLE. He staggered back a dozen steps!

He only managed to regain his footing when his back hit a large tree.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face a mask of utter horror.

He snapped his head up, staring at the tiny mosquito in the air.

The White-striped Aedes Mosquito he had dismissed as weak, as an ant.

It was actually...

Completely unharmed!!!

Not only that,

The White-striped Aedes Mosquito even lifted the foreleg that had just collided with the Celestial Demon Axe.

It held it in front of its proboscis and blew on it gently a few times.

As if blowing away some non-existent dust.

Its compound eyes were filled with nothing but naked contempt and disdain!

It was as if what it had just blocked wasn’t the full-power strike of a Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer expert, but merely a gentle breeze.

Tang Jiesheng had lived for tens of thousands of years and fought countless opponents.

But never had he imagined...

...that one day he would be so openly humiliated by a tiny White-striped Aedes Mosquito!

Only now...

...did he belatedly realize a shocking fact.

This inconspicuous White-striped Aedes Mosquito, which he had never even bothered to look at properly...

...was actually...

...at the Divinity Transformation Realm of Cultivation!!!

’How could an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito possibly reach the Divinity Transformation Realm through Cultivation?’

’This is completely absurd!’

In an instant, Tang Jiesheng’s entire worldview was shattered.

After kicking Tang Jiesheng back, Chu Sheng didn’t pursue.

It observed the situation on the battlefield.

It saw that Tang Jiesheng was channeling his Thunder Domain at full power to defend against Divine Soul Attacks. The Soul-Collecting Butterflies’ Enchanting Soul Technique couldn’t completely break through his Divine Soul’s Defense.

It could only serve as a minor interference.

Simply put,

They could whittle him down, but a one-shot kill was unlikely.

’It seems the power of the [Enchanting Soul] Skill isn’t a simple case of one plus one equals two.’

Chu Sheng quietly analyzed the Soul-Collecting Butterfly’s Skills in its mind.

’Ten of them stacked together still couldn’t instantly kill a Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer expert.’

’This means that the more Soul-Collecting Butterflies are casting the Skill, the more the damage from each individual one is diluted. The returns are diminishing.’

That made sense, come to think of it.

If the Skill’s power could stack perfectly without limit,

then with enough Soul-Collecting Butterflies,

the [Enchanting Soul] Technique could even harm experts in the Immortal Realm.

That was clearly impossible.

But then again,

as long as there were enough of them, killing enemies above their Realm wasn’t out of the question.

At the very least, they could still serve as a significant distraction.

At the same time, Tang Jiesheng was slowly recovering from his immense shock.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Chu Sheng in the air, his eyes sinister.

"A Divinity Transformation Realm Beast Pet."

"Woman, is this your trump card?"

Tang Jiesheng snorted coldly, still putting on a brave face.

"But unfortunately for you, my Cultivation is at the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer."

"Dealing with a mere Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer mosquito is still a simple matter."

"I was just being careless earlier."

"Once I kill this mosquito of yours,"

"I will make sure you enjoy yourself thoroughly!"

Tang Jiesheng let out a lecherous laugh, his greedy eyes raking over Gu Yuexi’s body.

In response to Tang Jiesheng’s humiliation and taunts, Gu Yuexi simply watched him calmly, her face devoid of expression.

However, in her eyes,

there was only an icy killing intent, no different from how one would look at a dead man.

Chu Sheng had no patience for people who spouted nonsense.

It looked coldly at Tang Jiesheng, its voice completely devoid of warmth.

"Since you’re in such a hurry to die,"

"Lord Mosquito will send you on your way!"

Before its voice had even faded,

Chu Sheng’s figure flashed, using Instant Teleportation to appear right in front of Tang Jiesheng.

It moved so fast Tang Jiesheng had no time to react.

It raised its hardened leg and kicked viciously at Tang Jiesheng’s chest.

Its body was covered by the [Silent Annihilation Battle Armor], which it had activated directly to Tenth Gear.

With a full-power kick, it had once sent the green-skirted girl from the Celestial Derivation Sect, a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, flying.

And Tang Jiesheng was only at the Divinity Transformation Eighth Layer, a full Grand Realm lower than that girl.

Even though Tang Jiesheng reacted with extreme speed, raising the Celestial Demon Axe to block his chest at the last possible moment, and making ample defensive preparations, it was completely useless.

BOOM!!!

This time, their collision erupted with a thunderous roar.

A shockwave radiated madly in all directions.

The surrounding trees were snapped in half, and dust filled the air.

Immediately after, Tang Jiesheng felt an irresistible, immense force wash over him.

It was as if a hundred thousand great mountains were crushing down on him all at once.

His arms fractured instantly, and the Celestial Demon Axe was sent flying from his grasp.

The immense power was completely overwhelming.

He couldn’t resist it at all; like a cannonball, he was sent flying backward.

BAM! BAM! BAM...

His body smashed through over a hundred towering trees on its way.

He finally came to a stop, deeply embedded in the face of a mountain.

Tang Jiesheng struggled to free himself from the rock wall, collapsing to the ground and spitting out another large mouthful of blood.

Blood continuously trickled from the corners of his mouth.

More than half the bones in his body were broken.

A section of his chest was caved in.

He was a miserable sight to behold.

Even his Divine Soul had been nearly shattered by that kick.

His Sea of Consciousness was in chaos, buzzing loudly.

’Holy hell, it’s that strong...’

Tang Jiesheng was dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined...

...that he would one day be defeated at the hands of a White-striped Aedes Mosquito.

Not only that, but he had been kicked half to death, unable to withstand even a single one of its attacks.

If word of this got out,

who would believe it?!

But the truth was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe.

That kick from Chu Sheng...

...had made Tang Jiesheng fully realize...

...that this Female Cultivator’s Beast Pet...

...was strong beyond measure!!!

It was not something he could contend with at all!!!

At this moment, Huang Mao and Rat, under the continuous Soul Devourer attack from the ten Soul-Collecting Butterflies, had their Divine Souls almost completely drained.

Their auras were faint, and they were barely clinging to life.

Tang Jiesheng looked at his two dying brothers, his eyes flickering.

Suddenly,

he let out a tragic, heroic roar.

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

His body became wreathed in the violent Law of Thunder, the lightning several times more powerful than before.

Despite his turbulent Sea of Consciousness and grievous injuries, he burned a portion of his Divine Soul Origin, and his aura instantly skyrocketed.

It looked as if he was preparing to take Chu Sheng down with him.

He put on a posture of mutual destruction, seemingly for the sake of his brothers.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng was about to deliver another kick and send him to meet his maker.

However,

The next second,

Tang Jiesheng, who was enveloped within his Thunder Divine Domain,

suddenly...

turned and ran?!!
