Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 364: Time to End the Farce
In the arena.
The situation reversed in an instant.
After evolving, the Three-Headed Eight-Tailed Great Serpent became overwhelmingly arrogant.
Its massive body now seemed to be filled with endless power. Its three heads were held high, and its six eyes burned with the flames of vengeance, firmly locked onto the small black dot in the sky.
“HISS—!!!”
Three hisses overlapped, forming a visible sonic shockwave that instantly shattered the two surrounding Flaming Feather Blades!
A mere roar had shattered Chu Sheng’s Soul-Bursting Flame Feather!
Immediately after.
BOOM!
The ground cracked apart.
The Orochi’s enormous body erupted with a terrifying Speed that completely defied its size.
Like a moving mountain, it charged with world-destroying momentum. Its three heads, like three cannonballs fired from their barrels, hurtled toward Chu Sheng from the left, center, and right!
It sealed off all avenues of retreat!
This attack held no fancy moves; it was a pure, overwhelming crush of absolute power and Speed!
“BZZZT!”
Chu Sheng didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced.
The Qi Blood in his body burned wildly, and the patterns on his Silent Annihilation Battle Armor instantly glowed to their brightest.
’You want to go head-to-head? Fine, bring it on! Let’s see just what the limit of my Fifth Gear is now!’
BANG—!!!
A deafening crash echoed as if two meteorites had collided in mid-air.
A massive shockwave instantly swept across the arena. Even the spectators outside the protective shield felt the ground tremble.
In the dust, to everyone’s horror, they discovered that the tiny figure had actually…
Held his ground!
It was the exact same scene as before, but this time, he faced three serpent heads.
With his six legs, Chu Sheng held back all three of the massive serpent heads.
The image was visually stunning.
It was like an ant forcibly lifting a mountain!
“BZZZ! (I told you, even if you had six heads, Lord Mosquito would still pin you down!)”
Chu Sheng gritted his teeth. The muscles on his six legs tensed to their absolute limit, even making sounds like a bowstring snapping.
Of course, this time, Chu Sheng wasn’t completely motionless.
Although he blocked the attack, the immense impact forced his entire body to slide backward.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Fifty meters!
He plowed a long vacuum trail through the air but never let go, keeping a death grip on the three heads that wanted to devour him.
However, at this critical moment in the stalemate…
A flicker of extremely human-like mockery and cunning suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Orochi’s newly grown third head, the one in the center.
It turned out the charge had been a feint all along!
It had deliberately used the same move to close the distance, ensuring the nimble insect could not escape!
The next second, the middle serpent head suddenly snapped its mouth open!
There was no build-up, no warning.
WHOOSH—!!!
A jet of flame, black as ink and vaporous like a fog, erupted from its mouth!
The third head could actually breathe fire!!!
At such a close range!
Chu Sheng had no time to react at all! He was hit instantly!
“SZZZ SZZZ SZZZ—”
This black flame didn’t have the searing heat of a normal fire. Instead, it exuded a bone-chilling cold.
The most terrifying part was its extreme adhesiveness and toxicity!
The moment it touched him, Chu Sheng felt as if he had fallen into superglue. His once-agile body instantly became incredibly stiff.
It was poison!
A potent venom capable of paralyzing nerves and blocking the flow of Qi Blood and Mental Power!
“BZZT?! (’I can’t move?’)”
Chu Sheng was shocked. He tried to summon his Nether Flame to resist, only to find the Energy in his body felt frozen, its circulation slowed to an infuriating crawl.
And just like that, under the gazes of hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes across the world, the mosquito that had been so valiant just a moment ago was now like an insect trapped in amber, completely ensnared within that bizarre black flame.
“HAHAHAHA!”
The Orochi let out a triumphant hiss, intensifying the jet of flames.
It was going to refine this damned insect, bit by bit, and make it die in agony!
On the big screen, the camera zoomed in quickly.
Everyone clearly saw a despairing scene.
Under the corrosive touch of the black flames, the body beneath Chu Sheng’s Battle Armor actually began to… melt!
First, his wings.
His cicada-thin wings rapidly curled and blackened in the dark fire.
Then came his carapace.
His glossy black shell, like wax meeting a hot iron, began to soften and drip away, bit by bit…
“No… don’t…”
In the Great Xia rest area.
Luo Qingyu covered her mouth, tears instantly bursting from her eyes.
She wanted to rush out, to save the mosquito even if it meant her own death, but Shen Yixuan held her back firmly.
“Don’t go! If you go out now, it’s a violation! Great Xia will be disqualified immediately! His sacrifice will have been for nothing!”
Shen Yixuan roared, his eyes red, but his hands were trembling violently too.
Sacrifice?
’Is he really going to be sacrificed?’
Online, Great Xia’s major livestreams fell into a dead silence, followed by an overwhelming flood of grief-stricken comments.
“It’s over… It’s all over…”
“Lord Mosquito, hang in there!”
“This black fire is too venomous! Dammit, Sakura Country is totally cheating! This Orochi shouldn’t even count as part of the contestant’s combat power!”
“Exactly! Isn’t this just like bringing in an outside expert?!”
This was especially true for the forums and livestreams of Hong Kong Island University.
The students who had once witnessed the birth of the “Mosquito God” and regarded Chu Sheng as an idol were now utterly devastated, as if they’d lost their own parents.
“Lord Divine Mosquito!”
“I don’t believe it! The Divine Mosquito is invincible! He’s a future Emperor Realm Divine Beast! How could he die at the hands of some overgrown worm!”
“Waaaaah…”
A sense of despair spread like a plague.
…
“HAHAHAHA! Die! Just die already!”
In the Sakura Country rest area.
The team leader, the Voldemort Witch, had now gone completely insane.
She watched the “melting” mosquito on the screen, laughing so hard she was bent over, with tears streaming from her eyes.
“Do you see that? This is the consequence of angering the Great Sakura Empire!”
“So what if we lose? So what if all our people are dead?”
“As long as we can kill your Great Xia’s genius, kill this monstrous Contracted Beast, it’s a win for us! Hahaha!”
“Dragging you down to hell with us, this is our Samurai Dao!”
Lost in the crazed pleasure of her revenge, she was completely unaware that a man wearing a black face mask and an inconspicuous staff uniform was silently weaving through the crowd, slowly approaching her from behind.
The man’s head was lowered, the brim of his cap pulled down low. He seemed to be clutching something in his hand, his cold gaze fixed on the artery in the female leader’s neck.
…
In the arena.
On the big screen.
The ball of black flame was still burning fiercely.
Chu Sheng’s figure was no longer visible. All that could be seen were puddles of black liquid constantly dripping from the air, making a “CHH-CHH” corrosive sound as they hit the ground.
Was that his melted carapace? Or his flesh and blood?
No one knew.
But everyone believed that the mosquito was already dead.
Not even bones remained.
The contestants from Great Xia lowered their heads, unable to watch any longer.
Even Xiao Tian, who had always believed that “Lord Mosquito is invincible,” was now ashen-faced, muttering to himself with a dazed look in his eyes:
“Impossible… How could Lord Mosquito die…”
Just as the entire audience was steeped in grief, and everyone thought the outcome was decided…
Someone suddenly noticed that something was amiss.
“Wait… look at Gu Yuexi!”
A sharp-eyed spectator suddenly posted in the bullet comments.
This reminder snapped many people out of their sorrow, and they subconsciously looked toward the girl in white who had been standing in place in the arena, as if forgotten.
According to common sense, Beast Tamers and their Contracted Beasts have a soul connection.
Even if it’s not their primary life-bound Contracted Beast, the death of even a secondary Contracted Beast would inevitably cause the Beast Tamer to suffer a huge spiritual backlash.
But now…
Gu Yuexi was acting as if nothing was wrong?
That person wasn’t the only one who noticed.
In the arena, the camera immediately focused on Gu Yuexi. The battle had been so spectacular that everyone had forgotten about Gu Yuexi, the actual contestant.
She was still standing there quietly. Her white clothes rustled in the fierce wind, but her face showed no sign of pain, not even a hint of paleness!
On the screen, a faint smile touched the corners of Gu Yuexi’s lips.
She spoke:
“You damn mosquito, stop pretending.”
“It’s time for this farce to end.”
The farce she spoke of didn’t just refer to this battle.
But the entire… Global Martial Dao Tournament!
