Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Your skill in controlling insects is truly remarkable. Watch me!"

Amazed by the silver beetle of the black-robed man before him, Nangong Yue's expression turned solemn. He immediately took off a spirit beast bag and waved it in front of him.

'Buzz buzz buzz!'

A swarm of black bees flew out and intertwined with the surrounding silver beetles.

"This is a second-tier spirit insect, the 'Poison Stinger Bee'!"

Lin Changsheng was moved.

These second-tier 'poisonous stinging bees' carry toxins and often move in groups of hundreds or thousands, causing headaches even for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Changsheng had dealt with this man in black robes in his early years, so he naturally knew the characteristics of these bright silver insects, and their insidious poisonous attacks were one of their weaknesses.

As expected, after Nangong Yue's second-tier 'Poisonous Stinger Bees' flew out, they all attacked the nearest silver beetles!

In an instant, a large number of silver beetles turned blackish-blue, their wings flapping weakly, and they fell to the ground with a 'whoosh'.

While they wouldn't be able to wipe out the silver worms on the spot, they clearly couldn't continue defending against the enemy for the time being.

"A stinging wasp? It's you!"

The man in black robes was slightly surprised to see the overwhelming swarm of 'poisonous stinging bees' demonic insects, but he was not panicked.

The poison attack can slow down the Silver Bug's recovery speed, but it doesn't completely control it.

To his surprise, he could now see Lin Changsheng's face clearly and recognize his identity.

Back in the Wanfeng Mountains, this young man in white was quite difficult to deal with and left a deep impression on him.

If Liu Zifeng hadn't appeared at the crucial moment, he would have almost suffered at the hands of this person.

Upon their reunion, he sensed that the white-robed man's magical power had improved even further, and he was already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

'Whoosh! '

At this moment, a huge sphere of bright silver insects gathered in front of the black-robed man and bombarded Lin Changsheng and Nangong Yue!

The giant sphere of insects came to the two of them and burst apart with a 'crack,' turning into thousands upon thousands of bright silver insects.

In the blink of an eye, they devoured the 'poisonous stinger bees' released by Nangong Yue.

Then, emitting a buzzing sound, it surrounded the two and continuously gnawed at their protective protective shields.

Nangong Yue's eyes showed pain, and his face was filled with anger.

He immediately produced a fine black metal net, and as he chanted incantations, the net expanded continuously, eventually covering most of the bright silver insects within it.

The area around them suddenly became much quieter.

The black-robed man not far away abandoned the two of them and, with a flicker of his figure, was enveloped by a large number of bright silver insects, intending to fly away!

At the critical moment, Lin Changsheng released the second-tier high-grade puppet 'Qi Mu Xiang', ignoring the bright silver insects around it, and charged straight at the black-robed man!

"Second-tier superior grade!"

A surprised voice came from beneath the black robe.

'boom! ’

The four-legged creature unleashed its full power, halting the black-robed man's escape.

The opponent reacted just as quickly, summoning a large number of bright silver insects to gather in front of him. Their auras connected, forming a silver-white insect shield to buffer the attack.

The man in black robes fell to the ground again, unharmed.

The newly formed insect shield was shattered by a single blow from the Qilin.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you must stop this person and not let him escape!"

Nangong Yue's anxious voice came from behind.

The bright silver insects that were originally covered by the magic artifact's fine net soon tore the net to shreds, turning into wisps of insects that flew out and surrounded Nangong Yue once again.

Clearly, without the checks and balances of the 'poisonous stinger bees' and the magical net, Nangong Yue didn't have any good methods to deal with these bright silver insects for the time being.

Lin Changsheng did not respond, but continued to control the four-legged creature to attack the black-robed man's main body.

After his multiple upgrades and improvements, the Qilin's body is much tougher than that of ordinary late-stage second-tier puppets, and it is completely unafraid of being torn apart by the Bright Silver Insects for a short period of time.

Helpless, the man in black robes could only keep dodging and weaving.

Seeing this, Lin Changsheng produced another light green wood-attribute magic talisman in his hand.

Instantly, long, thorny vines shot out from the ground, like wild snakes dancing wildly, extending madly towards the man in black robes.

Lin Changsheng's cultivation of the 'Evergreen Wood Technique' is inherently a wood-attribute technique, so the wood-attribute talismans he creates have a natural bonus, making them even more powerful.

The spells it unleashed were incredibly powerful, and as a plant, its growth rate far surpassed that of the Silver Insects' tearing speed.

This greatly limited the black-robed man's room to dodge.

In addition, the four-legged creature's relentless and fearless attack caught the black-robed man off guard, leaving him in a very sorry state.

Even if the opponent's insect control technique is extremely sophisticated, its effectiveness is greatly reduced when it encounters a puppet whose entire body is made of iron.

Suddenly, the man in black robes felt a faint sense of crisis!

The countless dormant silver worms inside his body were all awakened, constantly giving him hints.

'Whoosh! '

A subtle demonic power emanated from beneath his feet.

A crimson figure shot out from underground and launched a sneak attack on the man in black robes.

Even if the latter reacted extremely quickly to dodge and activated a large number of bright silver insects for defense.

It was still hit by the Crimson Centipede and lost a section of its lower leg.

'patta'

The black-robed man's lower leg fell to the ground.

Strangely, no blood flowed from the severed limb; instead, it shriveled up at a visible rate.

Before long, only skin and bones remained.

Tiny specks of silver light flew out from it.

"You kid, you've improved so much over the years!"

The man in black robes sounded surprised.

A second-tier high-grade puppet and a second-tier late-stage demonic beast are equivalent to two cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In addition, Lin Changsheng himself had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and his various high-quality talismans seemed inexhaustible.

This would probably be a major headache for most late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Does the man in black robes still know that this person used a 'talisman treasure' to escape from his and Liu Zifeng's attack back then?

Although talismans are one-time use items, who dares to say that this person only has one talisman?

"It's a pity that you haven't made much progress over the years."

Lin Changsheng smiled calmly, a cold glint in his eyes.

As he spoke, another second-tier spell talisman appeared in his hand.

The black-robed man, who had lost a leg, was unable to move easily and was soon attacked by Lin Changsheng, the spirit beast, and the puppet, losing another arm.

"I am a cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect. If you dare to kill me, my sect will not let you get away with it!"

The man in black robes spoke in a panicked tone, as if he wanted to beg for mercy and make peace.

But Lin Changsheng didn't respond at all, launching wave after wave of attacks, giving his opponent no chance to breathe.

The man in black robes was finally bound tightly by the wood-elemental vines, and could only watch helplessly as the 'four-legged creature' blasted a bloody hole in his chest with a loud 'bang'!

The next moment, it was torn into several pieces by the Crimson Centipede that followed.

In an instant, the dormant silver worms inside his body lost control, awakened, devoured his body, and then scattered in all directions.

Without their owner's control, these silvery insects became extremely unruly, flying around wildly.

Before they could fly more than ten feet, thousands of bright silver insects suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, forming a thick layer, lifeless.

"Pity…"

Lin Changsheng stopped what he was doing, looking at the dead silver worms scattered all over the ground, and said regretfully.
