Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

The enormous, terrifying centipede suddenly turned and sped into the cave at an astonishing speed. Wu Feilong, startled, didn't dare hesitate and flew forward like lightning. At the same time, he continuously pulled out powerful explosive charges from his pocket and hurled them backward with all his might.

A series of deafening booms echoed behind them, shaking the entire cave. Amidst billowing smoke and countless shattered rocks, the cave began to lurch forward, and large chunks of rock rained down on the relentlessly pursuing centipede. However, unexpectedly, the centipede's body was incredibly tough; the rocks, powerful enough to crush ordinary creatures, merely left shallow marks on its carapace.

The centipede roared, easily cleaving through the boulder blocking its path with its sharp claws, and continued to relentlessly pursue Wu Feilong. Wu Feilong desperately tried to escape, but suddenly there was no way forward; instead, he found himself in an enormous cave.

Inside the cave, piles of gold and silver jewels shone brightly, a dazzling array; all sorts of swords and knives were scattered haphazardly on the ground, their number almost countless; but the most eye-catching thing was an ancient and mysterious coffin placed in the very center.

Wu Feilong secretly rejoiced; thankfully, he had casually acquired a few repeating crossbows earlier, which could now come in handy. In a flash, he swiftly retrieved the crossbows, steadily positioned them, and placed a long spear beside him on top of them as if they were arrows. Then, he focused intently on the cave entrance, his finger tightly gripping the trigger.

Just then, the centipede's hideous head slowly emerged from the cave. Without hesitation, Wu Feilong pulled the trigger forcefully. With a sharp whoosh, the spear, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through the air, shooting straight towards the centipede's throat. In an instant, the spear accurately struck its target, deeply piercing the centipede's throat!

The centipede, writhing in pain after being attacked, emitted chilling hissing sounds. Dark green venom slowly seeped from its wound, flowing down its massive body and wisps of white smoke rising as it dripped onto the ground. The spear that had struck it was now corroded by the venom, hissing as if it might snap at any moment.

In the blink of an eye, the second spear shot out like lightning the instant the first one hit the ground, aimed directly at the centipede. However, the cunning creature reacted swiftly, twisting its long body and curling into a ball in the blink of an eye, exposing its back completely. With a loud clang, the spear struck the centipede's hard back, sparks flying, but it could not advance an inch further and finally fell limply to the ground.

At the same time, with a summons from the centipede, countless smaller centipedes surged forth from the surrounding shadows like a tidal wave. They were densely packed, overwhelming the senses, a sight that sent chills down one's spine. Wu Feilong inwardly cursed; he knew these small centipedes were extremely venomous, and even a small bite could have dire consequences, either death or permanent damage. Moreover, the sheer number of these centipedes before him suggested there were likely tens of thousands!

Seeing the critical situation, Wu Feilong glanced around and suddenly noticed a crystal coffin placed not far away. He couldn't care less about anything else at that moment; he dashed towards the coffin with lightning speed. Reaching it, he pushed hard with both hands, opening the heavy coffin lid a crack, then darted inside and quickly slammed the lid back shut. Only after confirming that no centipedes had followed did his heart finally calm down slightly.

The enormous centipede with countless legs struggled to break free of the many restraints imposed upon it! At this moment, its blood-red eyes burned with fierce rage as it stared intently at Wu Feilong not far away, emitting angry hisses as if it wanted to devour him alive.

Suddenly, the centipede unleashed a powerful tail lash, slamming its massive tail into the crystal coffin! The impact sent the coffin spinning rapidly through the air like a cannonball, completing an astonishing 180-degree flip in the blink of an eye!

Wu Feilong, inside the crystal coffin, suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. When the crystal coffin finally crashed heavily to the ground, he was shocked to find a woman lying on top of him! The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath, and it seemed that an intimate encounter was about to take place.

The woman was icy cold, like a block of ancient ice. Her pale, paper-white face appeared sinister and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine. Just then, due to the violent tremor, the woman slightly opened her mouth, and an Ice Soul Pearl emitting a faint, cold light rolled out and fell right into Wu Feilong's mouth.

With the loss of the Ice Soul Pearl, the woman who was lying on Wu Feilong underwent a horrifying transformation—her beautiful body rapidly withered away, turning into a lifeless skeleton in the blink of an eye! This sudden scene truly frightened Wu Feilong, who stared wide-eyed in terror, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat.

The Ice Soul Pearl he had accidentally swallowed began to take effect, and a bone-chilling cold surged from his body. In an instant, Wu Feilong felt as cold as ice all over his body, and even his skin was covered with a thin layer of white frost.

Before Wu Feilong could recover from the shock and chill, the centipede attacked again. It tightly coiled its numerous long legs around the crystal coffin, then flung it far away. Immediately afterward, the centipede pounced on the trembling Wu Feilong with lightning speed, opening its gaping maw—large enough to swallow a small hill—and swallowed him whole…

"Beast! Hurry up and come to my aid!" Jiang Tianba's angry and anxious voice, transmitted through telepathy, reached the centipede's ears from afar. Upon receiving its master's command, the centipede dared not delay in the slightest and quickly rushed out of the cave.

At this moment, Wu Feilong, inside the massive body of the centipede, had transformed into a crystal-clear ice sculpture. Wisps of cold air continuously emanated from this ice sculpture, spreading at a visible speed. Gradually, even the centipede's hard exoskeleton was covered with a thin layer of white frost.
