Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2339 What Expression?

When a deity who has attained divinity through incense offerings takes action, there are roughly three different scenarios.

If the main body is strong enough, it can directly attack with its main body. The Zerg's ability to separate their bodies and their main body's combat power will not be too bad.

Secondly, they consume the accumulated incense offerings to launch attacks, mostly spell-based attacks, which involve using up their last reserves.

Finally, they burn incense; that's when they really risk their lives!

The cultivators, though caught off guard, had the upper hand, but the cricket was also experienced and fought desperately from the start!

In other words, the tactics everyone designed were correct, but the trio's overall strength was a bit lacking, which is why they were unable to defeat the grasshopper.

However, although the katydid's cultivation level is not as high as the dragonfly's, its combat power is extremely strong. If the two were to fight, the dragonfly might not necessarily win.

In short, cultivation level and combat power are not equivalent.

Qu Jianlei took out the small black shuttle and locked onto the cricket.

The Out-of-Body Grasshopper has extremely strong perception; its combat instincts tell it that a powerful threat is looming over it.

Without hesitation, it flashed once, then flashed again.

Although bound by two restrictions, the Dharma Form can transform between reality and illusion, allowing for evasion that doesn't go too far, just enough to avoid attacks.

Then it looked in the direction where it sensed danger.

There was a little guy there. Although his cultivation level was very low, the thing he was holding could definitely seriously injure or even kill him!
It longed to unleash a dark beam of light at the other party, but its intuition told it that such an attack would not work.

Needless to say, the sheer force of this rhythmic field alone will cause its attacks to lose their accuracy.

Inside the field, it could barely withstand the golden light, but even at such close range, its accuracy was significantly affected.

Trying to hit that weak guy accurately from a distance is extremely difficult.

"Disgusting reptile!" The katydid was furious, but it didn't have a good solution yet and could only deal with the golden light in front of it.

However, it could not completely ignore Qu Jianlei, who was far away. Although Qu Jianlei was not strong, he possessed a powerful weapon.

Qu Jianlei wasn't in a hurry to launch an attack. He held the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle and looked around, as if he was ready to fire at any moment.

But in reality, this is just a psychological tactic, designed to distract the cricket from its body.

The method was a bit underhanded, but Qu Jianlei didn't care. Any tactic that could help his teammates was a good one.

If you really asked him to use the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, he would hesitate—this thing is only suitable for hitting stationary targets.

Moreover, the power of the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle is slightly too great, which will have a certain impact on the star cluster.

Qu Jianlei was certain that the grasshopper opposite him, having emerged from its body, possessed a strong fighting spirit and talent, which is why he took out the shuttle to intimidate it.

If it's the kind of stupid out-of-body experience, even if he reveals it, the other party won't be greatly affected!
However, he didn't feel proud of what he did; instead, he felt a little guilty: his own skills were still too poor!

If his fighting strength is strong enough, would he care about this bluff? He could just go into battle and fight directly; that would be so much more satisfying!
The Out-of-Body Grasshopper was indeed quite attracted to the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle.

Only after half of its wing was cut off did it realize a problem: the little guy had been aiming the whole time but had never attacked!
We've been scammed! A huge, horrible scam!
However, by the time they realized it, it was too late to say anything. On the battlefield, the winner takes all, and no one cares about the wailing of the loser.

Once its wings are injured, it is only one step away from defeat.

Once one reaches the level of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, one no longer cares about the ability to fly, but one's wings are related to advanced techniques such as traversing the sky.

Just like a hand, it can be used to make a living, or it can be used for palm print recognition!
When it wants to switch to iris recognition, the battlefield won't give it time to change!
The situation took an instant turn for the worse; within just two or three minutes, the cricket that had emerged from its shell was killed.

When it fell, the imprisoning array trembled slightly, perhaps as if it were trying to retribution.

In any case, the True Venerable Wenxian has made the corresponding changes, which at least can restrain the impact of self-reporting on the surrounding area.

Minning Zhenzun sighed softly, "Alas, it's still too slow!"

On the other side of the star cluster, the killing formation of True Venerable Wenxian had already killed the Dragonfly Emerging from its Body and was now killing a large number of Zerg who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Be more cautious," Qu Jianlei said dismissively. "Cultivation can be improved slowly. If you're impatient and cause trouble, people will laugh at you."

The five-person team is already working together quite well, so there's no need to cause trouble for others because of being impatient for quick success.

"I was just saying," Minning Zhenzun casually replied, thinking to himself, "Do I need you to remind me?"

But the next moment, he couldn't help but click his tongue, "Tsk, so many Zerg!"

At the same time, the three Star Tapir Grandmasters were dumbfounded. "So fast... this is murder!"

“So cultivators really don’t need the cooperation of the tapir race,” Rajan said somewhat listlessly. “I want to go back.”

"You're still young, don't be so impulsive!" Grandmaster Ratan said calmly. "We need to use sincerity to influence them!"

"No amount of sincerity can compare to helping in a war!" Grandmaster Raru declared. "Shall we go now?"

"The periphery, the periphery is the main focus!" Ratan the Great emphasized hastily, "lest if something goes wrong again and we're blamed!"

The next moment, three Star Tapir Grandmasters appeared and viciously attacked the star cluster.

With the two Out-of-Body Zerg killed, the Zerg on the scene were immediately leaderless, and no amount of frantic attacks could save them.

However, the endless swarm of insects gave the five cultivators a bit of a headache.

After a while of fighting, even True Venerable Hanli couldn't help but mutter, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have preferred to let them reveal themselves."

Fortunately, each of the five had their own methods, including group attacks and individual combat strength, steadily eliminating the chaotic swarm of insects.

Just then, they discovered that three Star Tapir Grandmasters had also attacked.

Minning Zhenzun immediately sent out his divine sense, "Don't come any closer, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

He doesn't consider the other party's intentions or current mood; when dealing with this race, one must make things clear.

The three Star Tapirs were somewhat helpless upon hearing this: We came here to help, okay!

They were partners not long ago, and now they've turned on each other so ruthlessly. Life is truly unpredictable.

Only Rajan seemed a little less concerned, and even replied, "We know, we're just helping you clear the perimeter!"

Ratan the Great felt that his words were completely unnecessary, but little did he know that Minning the True Venerable's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing them.

Thank you so much! Please don't keep bothering me. This is... I've never killed any friendly forces in my life!

After the five fought for a while, they saw two passages leading into the interior of the star cluster.

The two Zerg creatures emerged from their bodies far apart, partly due to the fact that the two kings did not meet, but also to guard the two passages.

There is no passageway in the star cluster; you can enter from anywhere. However, these two passageways are relatively stable, making it easier to enter the interior.

Everyone had figured these things out in a month and a half.

However, the five of them had also agreed that they didn't necessarily have to go through the passage; they would simply block the entrance and wipe out a wave of Zerg.

A large number of Zerg, as well as some Zerg nests, live around and inside the passageway.

It's hard to say what kind of arrangements the Zerg might have made in deeper areas.

However, one thing is certain: the further in you go, the more unstable it becomes, and the more spatial rifts there are.

Therefore, blocking the passageway to kill is a very effective method.

As for other Zerg spawning in other parts of the star cluster, they are extremely rare and not worth worrying about.

These Zerg creatures, once they rush out, will generally not participate in the siege; they will simply flee in panic.

However, three Star Tapir Grandmasters were also surrounding them. Although they didn't have any particular fighting style, dealing with these scattered insects was really too easy.

However, even under these circumstances, some minor incidents occurred.

One after another, a group of fierce insectoids appeared at the two passage entrances, led by a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.

These insectoids are exceptionally ferocious, their combat power far exceeding their cultivation level; even when severely wounded, they fight to the death without retreating.

The two Immortal Venerables' domains did indeed imprison them, but if we wanted to kill them nearby, these insectoids would actually report back!

However, the mystery was soon revealed: behind them followed one insect nest after another of varying sizes.

So they're a team protecting the larvae! No wonder they seemed... abnormally fierce.

Han Li and Wen Xian found it very easy to deal with such a team.

On the other side, Jin Ge charged in at close range twice, but was getting a little flustered by the self-reporting. "Lord Qu, you go!"

In fact, he could kill his opponent without personally charging into battle.

This is a deliberate attempt to give Xiao Qu credit, while also reducing our own expenses. Why not?
Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, but directly took out the broken sword and slashed at the insectoids in the field.

The broken sword was originally a divine weapon, not subject to imperial decree, and was inherently not part of the system of becoming a deity through incense offerings.

The Zerg's practice of worshipping incense to become gods is definitely considered evil by Duan Dao, a fact that Qu Jianlei could easily confirm with a simple calculation.

The broken blade suddenly grew to over a thousand kilometers long and slashed at the swarming, frenzied insectoid race with incredible speed.

Many of the Zerg are beetle-like creatures with formidable defenses, but they simply cannot withstand this fierce attack.

Even the insect nest behind him was easily cleaved in two by the broken blade.

"Huh?" Even Han Li Zhenzun, who was far away, couldn't help but mutter to himself upon seeing this scene, "Indeed... everyone has their own expertise!"

He was quite familiar with the destructive power of the broken sword, and the power of this strike exceeded his expectations.

However, after a moment's thought, he understood why the broken sword was so fierce and powerful, which led to his exclamation.

However, the three Star Tapir Grandmasters in the distance were somewhat surprised to see this, thinking, "This little guy really has quite a few trump cards up his sleeve."

The broken blade struck down once, but still not satisfied, it traced an arc and returned to strike again with tremendous force.

"Great!" Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't help but exclaim in approval. "We have another helper now!"

He could also understand why Broken Blade had suddenly become so powerful, which meant that the team now had another strong fighting force to deal with the Zerg!
But as soon as he turned his head, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Qu, what's with that expression?"
