Chapter 353 Delay

The sight of countless corpse-killing worms swarming in the arena caused a solemn expression to appear on the faces of Ye Ru and the others.

"If you can help Brother Ye stall for three more minutes, perhaps we still have a glimmer of hope. Can you do that?"

Ye Ling looked at the corpse-killing worms that had completely surrounded her and said solemnly.

"Let's try."

The remaining two nodded, but a look of panic appeared on their faces.

Although some of these people were from aristocratic families, they had never seen such a large scene before, let alone thousands upon thousands of corpse-killing worms.

They had never seen anything like this before. Li Xunfeng, on the other hand, was a little better off, holding the golden token tightly in his hand, ready to use it as soon as he had the chance.

Ye Ru naturally saw the gold medal, but didn't say anything; perhaps it was a protective measure used by the Li family.

"OK, wait for me."

Seeing that everyone was working together, Ye Ru nodded, took out the Three Perfections Writing Brush, spread out the Xuan paper, and prepared to start writing.

"Write poetry? Are you scholars only capable of writing poetry? Or do you think that the poems you wrote as a mere child can annihilate us young men?"

He knew that this scholar possessed a talent that allowed him to transform poetry into fighting power, but he didn't believe that a mere student could possess much talent.

Moreover, he has been here for hundreds of years, and his insect body has long since become incorruptible. Even the most powerful poems would probably be helpless against him, at most causing him some minor injuries.

"Attack!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen insect let out a sharp shriek, and tangible sound waves began to spread outwards, as if she were giving an order.

After the sound waves reached the bodies of these tens of thousands of corpse-killing worms, their green eyes suddenly lit up, and they angrily charged towards Ye Ling and the others.

"Shadows of overlapping mountains!"

Seeing this, Ye Ling took a deep breath, and the light from the folding fan in her hand became much stronger, then transformed into a phantom image of a towering mountain.

As soon as the phantom of the mountain appeared, it spread out and formed a virtual mountain range that protected everyone.

The moment the protective barrier was formed, the corpse-killing worms charged fiercely at them, and a chilling sound echoed throughout the area.

The Corpse-Killing Insect Queen had her hands behind her back, tentacles braced against the ground, and her body floating in mid-air. She wore a cold smile, wanting to see how long her prey could last.

He knew that even a scholar would have to think twice before facing so many corpse-killing worms.

Countless corpse-killing worms raged relentlessly, crashing one after another into the illusory mountain, causing Ye Ling and the others to look extremely grim.

The other party was looking at them as if they were prey, but if they continued to attack like this, everyone present would probably be devoured by these ghostly things.

"Change formation!"

The Queen Insect's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, with a slight tap of her finger, the corpse-killing insects began to gather in an orderly fashion, and finally, like a sharp cone, they began to strike the illusory mountain from all directions.

"Breaking through the surface with a single point? How can this queen be so clever? Hurry up and eliminate them all, otherwise my Chongshan Shadow won't even last two minutes."

Ye Ling turned her head and shouted loudly at Li Xunfeng and the others.

"Yes, I know."

Li Xunfeng nodded, and a chess piece appeared in his hand, while the golden token was tightly held in his other hand.

"This chess piece is made of meteorite iron and has extremely strong magnetic storm power. I spent tens of thousands of taels to buy it, and I'm going to throw it out today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xunfeng poured his talent into the meteorite iron chess piece and then hurled it fiercely. In an instant, the meteorite iron chess piece suddenly grew larger and then, like an iron disc, it blasted towards the countless army of corpse-killing insects in front of him.

The meteorite chess piece traversed the void with a whistling sound, like a giant mountain, directly smashing the corpse-killing worms in front of Li Xunfeng into dust. They died instantly without even letting out a scream.

At this moment, a subtle ripple began to spread outwards. Although the ripple was small, it felt extremely destructive to the Queen Insect.

"What is this? It can actually make me feel a dangerous aura, something I can't sense from those scholars and literati."

Upon sensing this subtle fluctuation of talent once again, even with the strength of the Insect Queen, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and her expression became a little more serious.

"This kid is a bit strange. Judging from his appearance, this poem might really be able to hurt me. I'd better act quickly, lest things change if I delay."

Seeing Ye Ru focused on writing poetry, the Insect Queen guessed what he wanted to do. Although she didn't know how strong Ye Ru's poem was, judging from the previous fluctuations, she would definitely not allow Ye Ru to finish writing it.

"Stop resisting and just become my meal."

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and the queen insect slowly clenched her hand, causing the surrounding energy to become extremely chaotic.

As the queen insect made a move, the corpse-killing insects gradually began to gather together, seemingly transforming into a giant hammer.

The giant hammer was raised high and then smashed directly onto the illusory mountain.

With this hammer blow, the illusory mountain began to shake violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

This scene made everyone's expressions turn quite grim. Ye Ling looked at Ye Ru, who was surrounded by the four people, and felt a little panicked.

"Are you going to come out obediently on your own, or do I have to do it myself?"

Seeing the grim expressions on everyone's faces, the Queen Insect stretched out her palm again and spoke to Ye Ling and the others from afar.

"If you're going to come, then come. Stop with all the nonsense."

Although Li Xunfeng's face showed panic, he still said firmly that they knew they were doomed to die no matter what, so they might as well die gracefully.

"Fine, then don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, the corpse-killing worm's expression darkened slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in its eyes, and then it clenched its fist again.

As the Corpse-Killing Worms were grasped by his hand, they transformed into a giant hammer once more and then slammed down.

Click!

"It's over!"

Upon hearing this faint sound, Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, and a thought popped into her head.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, the illusory mountain shattered violently, and the corpse-killing worms rapidly magnified in everyone's pupils like a tidal wave!

Just as everyone's hearts were beginning to settle, a ball of flame appeared in Ye Ru's palm. The destructive power within it caused the Queen Insect's expression to change drastically.
