Chapter 443 - Triumphant Convergence of Forces

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Xiaoyu had lost her ownership of Lu Shu’s clones. It had been tested and proven that Lu Shu’s clones could only be materialized if permitted by Lu Shu himself, through their celestial maps.

In the meantime, Lu Shu was too engrossed in his running and certainly did not notice the flickering on his map.

It felt like her call was not being answered…

Lu Shu must have purposely ignored her call! Lu Xiaoyu thought.

“Irritating!” Lu Xiaoyu kicked a stone into the river, which started boiling again after the hard-fought peace…

Coral, “…”

The Class B leader of the Deities, “…”

“From Coral Johnson’s distress, +666!”

“From…”

…

Lu Shu was so far in front, in the leading position of the grand marathon contest. The number of athletes was constantly on the rise as the existing crowd dashed past a few batches of Practitioners who had just made it out of the tunnels.

At the moment, Li Yixiao had arrived by Lu Shu’s side. He lowered his voice and pleaded, “Please say something nice of me if we run into the old man. I can tell that he likes you and Xiaoyu!”

Lu Shu looked back to see huge throngs of people, which made his head throb in pain. With the increasing number of beetles, who knew when they would reach the end of the marathon? Lu Shu replied meanly, “Shut up. I need some time alone…”

Rejected, Li Yixiao turned to Zhi Wei. “Really! It’s the beetles that attacked me first! I didn’t provoke them!”

Zhi Wei raved, “Rot in hell!”

Li Yixiao bit his gum. “In any case we are considered comrades in the Laos remains…”

“Rot in hell!”

Li Yixiao raised his brows. “I reckon you caused me trouble the previous time too!”

“Rot in hell!”

Distress crawled up from the bottom of Li Yixiao’s heart. Honestly, he did not see it coming, as his initial intention was simply calling together a group of backers like how he did on the surface. Back then, it was such a success! Even the experts did not dare to pick a fight with him! However, never had he expected the bug flood to be so much bloody scarier than the gargoyles. More importantly, earlier the old man had not minded too much anyway as he was only targeting the big organizations while sparing the lives of individual Practitioners.

But now, who could avoid him on this one-way route!

Yet, it was still not his greatest worry, which was the fact that he really could not overpower the old man…

At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly asked in bewilderment, “Can you hear that rustle?”

Li Yixiao did not pay much attention. “Isn’t it all behind us?”

“Rot in hell!”

Lu Shu’s face changed. “Hell! I’m not talking about that! I mean in front!”

It was not so obvious from afar just now, but the sound had grown louder the closer they headed downstream…

Within half a minute, the Deities came into sight as they had fled upstream. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyu had already managed to escape via the soils with Anthony’s help, before the second bug flood appeared. She was not willing to be chased around by bugs… and she had to look for Lu Shu elsewhere!

The bugs were converging with death in the air. The upstream branch was led by Lu Shu, Li Yixiao and Zhi Wei, whereas the downstream by the Deities.

At that instant, Lu Shu was stunned. “!!!”

Li Yixiao, “!!!”

What a triumphant convergence of the beetle forces! They managed to pincer the humans in underground remains…

Coral was in high spirits due to her encounter with Lu Shu. “Thank God you are here too!”

The other Deities almost cursed aloud.

Is this the right time for the both of you to be flirting?!

As a result, they all lost hope. Where could they run to? Just fight, for God’s sake!

The Phoenix Society took the lead to swerve backwards. Emotionless, Howard released more than ten fiery phoenixes from his palms. The birds flapped their gorgeous yet fatal wings towards the bug tide, immediately burning the vanguard beetles into ashes!

However, given their huge number altogether, the vacancy was instantly refilled by those from behind. At that moment, people realized that those insects would disperse into a wisp of black smoke after death, leaving behind a pile of rubble on the ground.

But there was no time to be too particular about that. In times of a real crisis, no one, including the organizations and individual Practitioners, could deny the fact that their only chance of survival depended on unity!

Furthermore, this time, the remains were far more dangerous than any before!

Of course, it would not have necessarily become like this if not for Li Yixiao…

In fact, many big organizations had decided to complain to the Heavenly Network for sending such an anti-human expert into the remains after they made it out!

With no further hesitation, Lu Shu’s divine water flooded out from his Seal of Lands, wrapping himself inside.

As a matter of fact, Class C’s had an edge in resistance against those low-level beetles. With their increased defense due to their armor, Class C’s would be safe from the poison of those bugs unless their armor was compromised.

And Lu Shu’s armor was particularly huge…

Li Yixiao darted into the bug flood, his tiger sign serving as his defensive shell. Every punch from him was able to crush a stretch of bugs. Meanwhile, Lu Shu also advanced with his divine water, upon contact, it would result in the beetles burning or exploding.

Those insects could not survive even a split second due to its high corrosive power!

A few words flashed across Lu Shu’s mind as he ran past Coral, gratitude, remuneration, 500 thousand euros for monthly pocket money…

Lu Shu told her in English, “You are only a Class D. Seek shelter at the back.”

Happiness danced in Coral’s eyes. “Okay.”

The strong and independent woman of the Deities who never accepted any form of help suddenly seemed to have changed her disposition in front of this young man. A strange feeling crawled up the Deities experts’ heart to see the well-protected apple of their eyes throwing herself on a dunghill…

Never mind, at least that fellow took the initiative to protect Coral…

However, no one noticed the malice in the Pledge leader’s narrowing eyes as he saw the golden light surrounding Lu Shu.

He had inquired many times about the whereabouts of his men, as their uniform was easily recognizable.

He had learned that one of them was killed by a young man who had robbed Earl’s divine water. Moreover, their hundreds of pieces of broken weapons were also looted by him, within the witness of many individual Practitioners!

This hatred must be avenged!

Of course, he was only aware that one of the five Class C’s was punched to death by Lu Shu and the location of the rest remained uncertain. Certainly he did not know that they had actually surrendered themselves to Lu Shu again…
