Chapter 1735: Forcing a Clash with the Insect King!

As they drew closer to the center of the earth fire, the corrosion from various poisons naturally grew more intense.

Yu Jing's breathing had already become irregular, and her speed naturally slowed, leaving her and Ye Yuan lagging behind.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan took Yu Jing's hand and channeled a surge of chaotic divine essence into her.

Feeling her hand being held, Yu Jing was startled and instinctively tried to pull it away.

But soon, she felt a thick divine essence enveloping her entire body, greatly reducing her pressure.

Yu Jing looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, realizing that he, at the third level of the Divine Lord realm, was still completely unfazed!

Now, he even had spare divine essence to help her.

How did this guy manage that?

Feeling the powerful divine essence around her, far more condensed than her own, she thought to herself that it was no wonder Ye Yuan had been able to kill the Fire Centipede.

This man was no simpleton!

"Thank you, Ye Yuan!" Yu Jing said sincerely.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Jing, you've already said thank you many times!"

Yu Jing blushed and said, "I... besides saying thank you, I don't know what else to say."

Ye Yuan smiled and was about to speak when suddenly the ground shook violently ahead.

Boom!

A huge white insect burst out from underground, lunging at Ye Yuan with its jaws.

The four people running ahead were startled by this sudden turn of events.

Duan Peng's expression changed as he said, "Damn, it's the Insect King! It seems to be at the peak of the mid fourth stage. Those two are in danger!"

The Insect King had appeared at just the right spot, cutting off the six of them and trapping Ye Yuan and Yu Jing.

Seeing this, Luo Yong's face showed an unnatural hint of joy.

Although Ye Yuan had just saved him, he still wished Ye Yuan dead!

Yu Jing's face turned pale as paper, and she cried out, "Ye Yuan, be careful!"

This change was too sudden, catching them off guard.

There was no time to dodge.

Yu Jing wanted to push Ye Yuan away and face the giant insect herself, but she found she couldn't budge him.

Just then, Ye Yuan's left hand shot out like a claw, and a dragon's roar echoed fiercely.

Divine Dragon Steps on the Sky!

Boom!

A loud crash rang out, and both Ye Yuan and the giant insect retreated several steps.

Yu Jing was astonished, never expecting Ye Yuan's strength to be so great.

The Insect King's aura was clearly much stronger than hers, already at the peak of the mid fourth stage.

Yet Ye Yuan, caught off guard, had managed to match it!

Duan Peng and the others were also surprised, never expecting Ye Yuan to come out unscathed.

"So Ye Yuan is actually a body cultivator, and his strength is already at the mid fourth turn!" Duan Peng said in shock.

Luo Yong had thought Ye Yuan was doomed, but now seeing his strength, he sneered, "Boss Duan, I told you this kid was unreliable! He's hiding his strength, playing the pig to eat the tiger. I think he's up to no good, but you all still believe his words."

Duan Peng looked into the distance, his expression uncertain, momentarily unable to make a decision.

In their line of work, no one truly trusted anyone.

In the Tianyao Mountain Range, the most terrifying thing was not the beasts, but human hearts!

Regarding the conflict between Luo Yong and Ye Yuan, he had actually been sitting on the sidelines, watching the tigers fight.

As long as it didn't affect his journey, their quarrels were harmless.

But now he realized that Ye Yuan was hiding too much.

What Duan Peng least expected was that Ye Yuan's strength was so great.

Just now, when the Insect King suddenly emerged, even he might not have come out unscathed, but Ye Yuan had done it!

From the looks of it, Ye Yuan's strength was now on par with his own.

Meanwhile, on that side, because of this delay, Ye Yuan and Yu Jing were quickly surrounded by the Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Beetles.

Yu Jing shouted, "Brother Duan, come help us quickly!"

Luo Yong looked at Yu Jing with a face full of venom, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Duan, you need to think clearly! Keeping this kid by your side—fortune or misfortune is unknown!"

Seeing that they made no move, Yu Jing anxiously said, "Ye Yuan, you can definitely get out on your own. Don't worry about me!"

Ye Yuan's face suddenly darkened. "Shut up! We'll go out together! Hold on to me tight and don't let go!"

Startled by Ye Yuan's roar, Yu Jing immediately dared not speak, gripping Ye Yuan's hand tightly without daring to relax.

Ye Yuan's figure moved swiftly, charging straight toward the beetle king.

Divine Dragon Stomps the Sky!

Ye Yuan struck out with another move, clashing with the beetle king!

Both man and beetle retreated several steps!

If it were just Ye Yuan alone, he naturally wouldn't fear this beetle king.

If not for finding the antidote, Ye Yuan could have killed the beetle king with one sword strike.

But now, he needed these Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Beetles to lead him to the antidote.

Once the beetle king was killed, these Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Beetles would surely scatter in all directions, making it impossible to find the antidote.

As for the spatial law, he had used it the moment he first encountered the beetle king, but it was countered by the opponent!

This beetle king seemed very sensitive to spatial fluctuations.

Thus, Ye Yuan chose to fight head-on!

After this retreat, Ye Yuan endured the backlash force and, without any pause, charged again.

Another Divine Dragon Stomps the Sky!

Boom!

The powerful shockwaves scattered in all directions, directly flinging those Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Beetles that tried to approach far away, unable to get close.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth time!

This beetle king was truly formidable. An ordinary Divine Lord at the Sixth Heaven would have been crushed into meat paste by Ye Yuan's relentless Divine Dragon Stomps the Sky.

But this beetle king only retreated a few steps each time before meeting Ye Yuan's charge again.

Blue patterns flickered on Ye Yuan's body, his flesh bursting with an incredibly powerful endurance as he launched charge after charge.

In the distance, Duan Peng, Luo Yong, and the others were dumbfounded.

Each loud boom brought them an intensely powerful impact.

Such momentum was enough to completely crush them!

"So strong! Is this guy's body forged from meteorite?"

"This is killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own! No matter how strong the flesh, one can't sustain using martial skills like this!"

Luo Yong sneered, "Heh, he still wants to play the hero saving the damsel! I think he's about to reach his limit too, right?"

Duan Peng's expression was uncertain; he was still纠结 about whether to make a move.

Ye Yuan was like a madman, charging again and again, fighting the beetle king.

Suddenly, Duan Peng gritted his teeth and charged toward the beetle king.

But at that moment, Ye Yuan launched his thirteenth charge!

"Boom!"

The beetle king was directly sent flying by the dragon claw!

This time, it couldn't stabilize its body.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan was overjoyed and, grabbing Yu Jing, rushed forward.

"Go!" Ye Yuan shouted at the charging Duan Peng and flew past him.

Duan Peng stared in shock at this scene, speechless.

This guy had charged thirteen times in a row, unleashing such powerful martial skills, and now he was still full of vigor!

But he didn't dare to linger either, immediately turning to flee.

After the beetle king landed, it quickly got up and let out a long cry to the sky.

Those Fire Cloud Ice Crystal Beetles, summoned by it, pounced on Ye Yuan and the others again.
