Chapter 835: Nutritional Supplement

"What? A centipede has appeared?"

Guan Ling was puzzled.

How could a centipede just show up out of nowhere?

"What's the background of this centipede?"

Guan Ling asked again.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, we don't know, but we do know that this centipede made a grand entrance, walking with an especially arrogant stride. It's clearly not to be trifled with, so I hurried here to report!"

"Take me to see it immediately."

Guan Ling's gaze shifted.

Given the current situation, the sudden appearance of a centipede outside the mountain gate certainly didn't seem simple.

Almost instantly, it grabbed everyone's attention.

Led by Guan Ling, numerous elders rushed to the eye of the mountain-protecting formation.

Since they dared not step outside the mountain gate, they could only closely observe the outside through a certain taboo left at the formation's eye.

At this moment, a scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

A centipede, draped in a black robe, its body held high and leaning backward, its antennae erect, and its eyes brazenly scanning its surroundings.

Among its countless legs, the lower ones stood upright and walked steadily, while the upper ones were crossed like human arms, exuding utmost arrogance.

The sudden appearance of this centipede naturally put the Wind and Cloud Sect on alert. Almost everyone's eyes were on it, and the cannons on several dark spiritual airships were aimed directly at the centipede.

Yet, the centipede completely ignored all this, slowly moving its legs as it made its way towards the main gate of the Cloud Calamity Sect.

Its unhurried demeanor showed that it didn't take anything seriously.

"Hey, stop right there."

Finally, from the deck of one of the Wind and Cloud Sect's airships, Elder Zhou Song's voice rang out, warning, "The Wind and Cloud Sect is handling business here. All unrelated individuals, leave immediately."

The centipede glanced at him sideways, paying no heed.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Zhou Song was also a ruthless man.

He naturally realized that the appearance of a centipede at this time was no mere coincidence.

This demeanor likely meant it intended to meddle in the affairs between the two sects. Since it ignored the warning, he had no choice but to strike first.

"No one dares to act recklessly under the Wind and Cloud Sect's airships. Teach it a lesson."

Elder Zhou directly issued the order.

Almost as soon as he gave the command, a thick energy blast shot out from a cannon on one of the airships, heading toward the centipede with terrifying force.

"Boom!"

Without any delay, the attack landed on the centipede.

But what Zhou Song didn't expect was that the attack only sparked a couple of times when it hit the centipede's hard shell, leaving not even a scratch.

"What?"

Both inside and outside the formation, the people of the Cloud Calamity Sect and the Wind and Cloud Sect simultaneously voiced their disbelief.

A blast of that magnitude, equivalent to a full-force strike from the ninth-level calamity realm, couldn't even break the centipede's defense?

"Keep attacking!"

Zhou Song was a decisive person. Having fired one shot, there was no reason to stop, especially after realizing the centipede was no pushover. They couldn't let the centipede counterattack.

As soon as his words fell, several airships adjusted their positions, and countless dark cannons aimed at the centipede.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the first heavy cannon shot rang out, a second, third, and then countless more followed.

The attacks, overwhelming in their intensity, surged toward the centipede.

In an instant, the heavens and earth seemed to shift, and the sky darkened.

The surrounding air was compressed into a vacuum.

This scene sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the Cloud Calamity Sect.

If such an attack were to land on them, they would be utterly annihilated.

Moreover, judging by the intensity of the attack, they had severely overestimated their mountain-protecting formation.

If attacks of this level were directed at their mountain gate, their formation would last at most half a month.

After that, it would shatter like an eggshell.

In the blink of an eye, the attacks reached the centipede.

Despite the centipede's earlier display of strength, everyone believed it was doomed this time.

But once again, the outcome defied their expectations.

The centipede somehow conjured a soul-like entity and placed it in front of itself.

"Yah yah yah, Little Spirit, although it's weak, energy is still energy. Even a mosquito's leg is meat, so absorb it quickly."

The centipede shouted loudly.

"Haha, thanks, Brother Wind. A mosquito's leg is still meat, and I, Little Spirit, will gladly take it. It's still a small nutritional supplement, after all."

The soul-like entity responded with excitement.

Thus, amidst the two's bravado, the attacks from the airships proved utterly useless. Upon hitting the soul entity, they were instantly absorbed, not even a bubble was raised...

Zhou Song and his companions stared wide-eyed, their legs nearly giving out.

What… what kind of technique was this?

Their proud attacks had turned into… someone else's nutritional supplement?
