Chapter 941: The Masked Assassin Reappears (Two Chapters Combined Into One)

"It turns out that he is the one who brought the army here, not the mayor of Dongwu City." Lin Li recognized Liu Yuancheng at a glance.

It has been a long time since I fought with Liu Yuancheng before, but I didn't expect to meet him again here.

With Liu Yuancheng's strength, Lin Li felt that he could easily get rid of the Insect King.

"Gudong."

There was a sound of swallowing saliva beside him, and Lin Li turned his head to look.

He saw Xiao Pingtian's expression was tense, and a lot of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Weren't you fine just now? Why did you become so nervous all of a sudden?" Lin Li asked.

"They are going to fight, and we are so close, we will be affected." Xiao Pingtian said in a trembling voice.

"Uh..." Lin Li heard these words and thought about it. It was true.

"Bang."

A terrible collision sound suddenly came from outside, and Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian looked into the distance through the hole in the wall.

Under the gaze of the two people, Liu Yuancheng and the Insect King started an extremely fierce confrontation in the square.

Dark purple scales appeared on the human-like arm of the Insect King. Liu Yuancheng's spiritual weapon long sword chopped on these dark purple scales, splashing tiny sparks.

"The scales of the Insect King are so hard." Xiao Pingtian widened his eyes, full of shock.

Lin Li, who was standing by, raised his hand and touched his chin, and was amazed.

"It's amazing that it can grow scales. If you can get such hard scales and make them into armor, even if it's not a spiritual weapon, the defense is amazing."

The shocked expression on Xiao Pingtian's face disappeared, and he looked at Lin Li speechlessly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"At this time, you actually want to get the scales of the Insect King. Your idea is really wild."

"Not bad!"

"..."

"The strength of this Insect King is still getting stronger."

"Does it have the strength of the first stage of the third stage?!!!"

"Maybe! If the Insect King really has the strength of the first stage of the third stage, it should be revealed soon." Lin Li judged.

"This... If the Insect King really has the strength of the third stage, wouldn't the commander be in danger?" Xiao Pingtian said nervously.

Originally, he thought that Liu Yuancheng would take action, and the brain-eating worms in this town would not be able to cause any big waves, and then everyone could leave here safely.

But now the Insect King is getting stronger and stronger, and the development of things has deviated greatly, which makes people worried.

"He is very strong. Even if the Insect King has the strength of the third stage and can suppress him, it is not a big problem for him to leave here safely if he can't beat him."

Lin Li carefully analyzed the experience of fighting with Liu Yuancheng before, but his conclusion did not change Xiao Pingtian's depressed mood at all.

"The commander can leave safely, but we don't have that kind of strength. What should we do then?"

"This... Why don't you leave here first." Lin Li said.

"What about you? Don't you leave together?" Xiao Pingtian asked back.

"I want to stay a little longer to see who will win."

"You are really brave."

"Normally, hurry up and leave!" Lin Li said.

"You really won't leave with me?" Xiao Pingtian thought about it and confirmed again.

"Go quickly! If you are late, you may not have such a good opportunity." Lin Li urged.

"Then take care of yourself." Xiao Pingtian clasped his hands together and walked quickly to the door of the house.

The door opened, he looked outside first, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked out of the room.

It was too conspicuous to jump onto the roof now, so Xiao Pingtian chose to leave along the alley.

Lin Li heard the footsteps outside gradually fading away, and muttered with a smile.

"It will be much more convenient for me to do something next if he leaves now."

…………

"Puff."

The head of a dead resident was destroyed by the spiritual weapon sword, and the ugly brain-eating worm immediately drilled out of his mouth.

"Roar..."

"Be careful."

The brain-eating worm abandoned its host and pounced on the soldier in front of it. Seeing this, the archer in the distance shouted a warning and shot the arrow in his hand.

"Swish."

"Ding."

When the brain-eating worm was about to touch the soldier, the arrow hit the brain-eating worm and flew it far away and nailed it to the wall.

"Thank you." The soldier who escaped the disaster turned his head and looked at the archer in the distance.

"You're welcome. Be careful next time." The archer waved his hand and continued to support other companions.

The brain-eating worms that were originally being killed and retreating began to resist in an organized manner.

"Bang."

A soldier captain was fighting with a resident who was three meters tall. Their fists were constantly hitting each other, and the ground under their feet quickly cracked due to the huge force.

"Captain, retreat quickly."

A shout came from behind. After hearing the shout, the soldier captain did not think much and retreated quickly.

A golden ball of light drew a parabola in the air and hit the mutant resident who had no time to dodge.

"Boom."

The golden ball of light exploded, and the mutant resident was instantly blown to pieces.

"Huh..." The captain of the soldiers was panting after a battle. He looked in the direction where the golden ball of light came from, raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.

"Well done."

"Hehe." The soldier who controlled the psychic cannon to attack the mutant resident was full of smiles.

"Roar..."

A terrible roar came from the smoke and dust, which made the soldiers present quiet instantly.

"Huh..."

A gust of wind blew, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the mutant resident whose body was torn into pieces did not completely lose the ability to move.

At this moment, the mutant resident whose upper body was still intact supported himself with his hands on the ground, opened his mouth and let out terrible roars.

The brain-eating worm parasitic in the brain of this resident has the cultivation of the middle stage of the second stage. Although the host's body has suffered serious damage, its current state is not something that ordinary soldiers can deal with.

"Damn, this mid-stage second-stage brain-eating worm is really hard to deal with." The captain of the soldiers spat on the ground, and then signaled his companions who were firing cannons in the distance to fire another shot at the opponent.

"Aim at it quickly."

"Boom."

The psychic cannon was activated again, and the golden light ball flew towards the immobile mid-stage second-stage brain-eating worm at a very fast speed.

Because it was prepared this time, the mid-stage second-stage brain-eating worm used both hands to support the ground and actually bounced up to avoid the dangerous attack.

However, at this time, a figure came right above the mid-stage second-stage brain-eating worm.

"I knew you would hide."

"Take my sword."

The captain of the soldiers waved his arm, and the spiritual weapon sword with a light golden light emerged from top to bottom, splitting the head of the brain-eating worm into two.

This sword not only broke the head, but also killed the brain-eating worm living in it.

"Roar..."

The brain-eating worm whose body was cut off wailed continuously, and with the sunlight shining on it, it soon turned into a pool of mud.

After killing such a tough enemy, the soldiers around cheered.

"There are still brain-eating worms in other places, don't be too happy too soon." The captain of the soldiers reminded.

Then, he would lead his companions to other places to eliminate the brain-eating worms.

At this moment, a figure ran out of the alley.

The captain of the soldiers saw this figure and stopped immediately. The archer raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed.

"I'm not a brain-eating worm." Xiao Pingtian said quickly before the soldiers took action.

"Eh?" The soldiers showed doubts on their faces.

They attacked this town and killed all the way, but they didn't meet a living resident.

Now suddenly seeing a living person, it's hard to believe.

"Put down your weapons." The captain of the soldiers said cautiously.

Xiao Pingtian immediately did as he said and put the weapon in his hand on the ground.

Then the captain of the soldiers personally stepped forward to check and confirmed that it was a living person. He gestured to his companions, and everyone immediately lifted the alert.

"I thought all the residents of this town were killed, but I didn't expect there was a survivor like you."

Xiao Pingtian picked up the weapon on the ground, and then explained that he was not a resident of this town, but was just unlucky and was trapped here when passing by.

After listening to Xiao Pingtian's explanation, the captain of the soldiers knew that some people were still trapped in this town, so he decided to escort these survivors away.

Xiao Pingtian was very grateful, and hurriedly thanked him, and then took these soldiers to the place where Lan Yuxia and her group were hiding.

…………

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Two figures stood in the air and kept fighting in the sky.

Every time the fists and feet collided, the terrible air waves generated spread around, causing a strong wind within a certain range.

"You didn't expect me to have the strength of the first stage of the third stage!" The insect king laughed.

Liu Yuancheng thought he could easily defeat the insect king, but now that the other party has the strength of the first stage of the third stage, he can no longer deal with it with a relaxed mentality.

"Human, you look so ugly." The Insect King raised his hand to block Liu Yuancheng's attack and said in a mocking tone.

"This is the first time I've encountered a strange beast like you who can talk nonsense." Liu Yuancheng counterattacked.

The smile on the Insect King's face was restrained, and then he said in a negotiating tone.

"Although your strength is worse than mine, it is impossible to defeat me. Why don't we stop here today and take your men away."

Liu Yuancheng did not respond, but waved his arms and chopped dozens of knives in an instant.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The Insect King's hands danced quickly, and the scales covering his arms blocked all the attacks.

"If you insist on fighting to the death, I can accompany you."

Faced with the threat of the Insect King, Liu Yuancheng frowned immediately.

With his own strength, it is no problem to retreat unscathed.

Once the Insect King goes crazy and attacks the soldiers regardless of anything, it is almost impossible for him to stop it.

"Have you figured it out?" The Insect King smiled when he saw Liu Yuancheng stop attacking.

"..." Liu Yuancheng remained silent. He was ordered to come to this town to eliminate the brain-eating worms. If the result was like this, he felt that he had no face to go back to see Li Dingtian.

The battle stopped, and the messy battlefield became a little quiet.

The Insect King did not rush Liu Yuancheng to make a decision, but waited for the answer with a smile.

As time passed, the sound produced by the occasional wind became the main theme of this battlefield.

"Swish."

The strange sound suddenly appeared, which surprised Liu Yuancheng and the Insect King.

They turned their heads and saw a huge fireball flying from a distance at a very fast speed.

"Where did the fireball come from?" The Insect King saw that the fireball was targeting him, his face became solemn, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Because the Insect King was very fast, it was difficult for the fireball to catch up.

"Explode."

An indifferent voice sounded, and then the fireball more than ten meters away from the Insect King exploded.

"Boom."

The flames generated by the explosion of the fireball spread instantly, engulfing the insect king who was more than ten meters away.

In the town, the soldiers and brain-eating worms who were fighting fiercely in various places saw this scene and stopped fighting for a few seconds.

"Is Lin Li okay?"

Xiao Pingtian met up with Lan Yuxia and her group. They were now protected by a group of soldiers and quickly retreated outside the town.

Seeing the sudden terrible explosion in the distance, Xiao Pingtian was very worried.

In the messy square, after the terrible explosion subsided, the insect king showed up.

The fireball sneak attack just now was very successful. The insect king had many charred burns on his body, and his original arrogant appearance was no longer there.

"Which bastard sneak attacked me?"

The insect king was furious and started a mental perception search. It soon found the enemy.

"It's you." Liu Yuancheng looked at the figure standing in the air not far away, and the scene of fire immediately emerged in his mind.

"Hello, long time no see." Lin Li, wearing a black bandit hat, stood in the air and greeted Liu Yuancheng with a smile.

Liu Yuancheng saw the masked thug in front of him greeting him, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

From his position, he should take down the other party immediately for what he did in Dongwu City.

But now there is the Insect King present. The alien beast is the mortal enemy of mankind. If you really want to choose a target, you should choose the Insect King.

"Why are you here?" Liu Yuancheng asked.

"Just passing by." Lin Li answered simply.

"Despicable human." The furious Insect King cursed Lin Li.

Lin Li moved his eyes away from Liu Yuancheng and turned to look at the Insect King with multiple burns on his body.

"You guys who parasitize other living things are not qualified to say that others are despicable, right?"

The Insect King narrowed his eyes after hearing what Lin Li said, and then disappeared instantly.

Lin Li raised his legs and kicked fiercely behind him.

"Bang."

The Insect King who appeared behind Lin Li raised his hands to block his chest and was kicked away by Lin Li.

"Compared to the beginning, your speed is much slower." Lin Li kicked the Insect King away and mocked.

After a big battle, the Insect King consumed a lot of spiritual energy and physical strength, and of course his speed decreased.

"This human has the strength of the third stage." The Insect King was shocked and his face became more and more ugly.

Liu Yuancheng was also surprised at this time, "This guy has become stronger than before, how can his strength grow so fast?"

Lin Li turned his head and looked at Liu Yuancheng, "You led the army here to eliminate all the brain-eating worms in this town, and I hate these guys too."

This statement has been made very clear, and Liu Yuancheng is not a fool, so he nodded immediately.

"Not good, these two humans are going to join forces to deal with me..." The Insect King's IQ is not low, and he reacted immediately.

With one against two, it is in great danger in its current state.

Therefore, the most sensible choice at the moment is to flee from here as soon as possible.
