<h4>Chapter 1683: The Formidable Nine Snake</h4>
After the Divine Magic Winged Bug had integrated with the remaining ten mutated bugs, its abilities were boosted significantly.
Due to the vibrations from the giant bells that the Bug’s wings had transformed into, Silver seemed as if he had fallen into a bog. He could barely move forward and was practically a target now.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug seized the opportunity without hesitation. It charged at Silver again after transforming its remaining wings into all manner of weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, and halberds.
This round, the attacks were clearly much more powerful than before. Almost all of the Dao Weapons that the wings had transformed into left deep wounds on Silver’s body.
Silver could do nothing except to protect his vital body parts and attempt to retreat out of the area that was under the giant bells’ control.
However, the wounds on his body were increasing significantly almost every second.
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand…
Very soon, there was an obvious decline in how swiftly his wounds recovered.
Silver, who had almost entirely subdued the Divine Magic Winged Bug earlier, was now the one being subduedpletely. He did not have the strength to fight back at all.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug was aware that it would be very difficult to kill Silver, but it was trying its best to drain the Odyl within his body.
Nine Snake, who had been observing the battle all along from not too far away, hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to take a hand.
He hesitated because he knew that Silver had yet to use his trump card. Nine Snake was deliberating on whether Silver might still have a chance to turn the tables. However, after a moment of consideration, he decided to attack anyway. This was because he felt that under such circumstances, it meant little if Silver used his trump card and won the battle. It would be better for him to save his strength to fight Lin Huangter.
After all, their biggest enemy was not the Bug Tribe in front of them, but Lin Huang, who was somewhere watching secretly.
A shadow suddenly sprang out from behind Nine Snake. It turned into a dark ray of light that wound around Silver’s body, then swiftly pulled him back.
Nine Snake could not help frowning slightly when he sensed the massive resistance that came from the giant bells.
He had originally brought the entire team of Raiders here to forcefully subdue the Bug Tribe and disy the Raiders’ might in front of Lin Huang.
He had never expected that matters would escte to this point.
Scarlet Fox and Silver had been defeated one after the other. He had no option but to take the initiative to rescue them.
He had intended to punish the Bug Tribe as a warning to his enemy, but his n had backfired, and he was now beingughed at.
After pulling Silver back to the Raiders’ camp with his snake tail, Nine Snake turned a cold-eyed gaze toward the Divine Magic Winged Bug, whose aura strength was now not that much weaker than his own.
Naturally, he was confident that he could defeat his opponent. However, if he were going to fight, then he had to win the battle decisively and in style.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug did not take the initiative to attack him. The Bug Queen in the core had a fearful expression on its face. Naturally, it knew that this leader with the vertical pupils was the most powerful of the nine intruders.
The Bug Queen had known this after watching Nine Snake save his teammate earlier. Although it had fortified itself to this extent at present, the dozens of massive bells still did not seem to decrease Nine Snake’s speed by much.
“To be honest, even I find it quite admirable that all of you have managed to get to this level.” Nine Snake took a step forward. The aura around his whole body began to skyrocket. “But let’s end this nonsense now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant shadow suddenly appeared above his head.
It was a giant snake monster.
ck scales covered its entire body, which was wreathed in ck mist. A pair of solid gold snake eyes with vertical pupils stared fixedly at the Divine Magic Winged Bug.
An instantter, the ck snake tailshed out like a long whip that also resembled a full moon scimitar, attacking the Divine Magic Winged Bug.
The arc-shaped ck ray was extremely fast, reaching the Divine Magic Winged Bug almost at once.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug waspletely unable to dodge the attack. It could only try its best to transform its wings into massive shields to block the front of its body.
Almost at the same time that all theseyers of shields consolidated, the arc-shaped ck ray collided with them.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug felt a burst of immense power the second the collision happened. Its entire body was sent flying back,pletely out of control. It then crashed hard into the hive.
The attack dented arge crater at least three meters in diameter on the hive. Even the entire Ten Thousand Bug Maze shook slightly, emitting a dull rumble.
Deep in the hive, even Lin Huang clearly sensed the tremor.
“Truly worthy of a being who’s almost an ultimate-rank Lord.” Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis traversed the void, allowing him to clearly see that practically all the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s wings that had reverted to their original form had faint cracks on them.
He could also distinctly sense that the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s aura had slumped significantly.
However, what he could not see was that the bodies of many True God fighters in the bug formation had instantly ruptured from the impact of the earlier attack. A small number of Bug Tribe Heavenly Gods also died at the same time.
Nine Snake could be considered to have held almost nothing back in this attack. The strength of the assault had obviously exceeded what the bug formation could sustain in terms of force.
This impact, which was over the limits of what the bug formation could sustain, automatically spread through the inner sections of the formation, killing many Bug Tribe fighters.
However, Nine Snake did not seem to be fully satisfied with the result of this attack.
He could not help frowning slightly when he saw that the bug formation had not been destroyed by the assault and that the Divine Magic Winged Bug’s aura had only decreased slightly.
“I’d like to see how many more hits you can take!”
Nine Snake attacked again as soon as he finished speaking.
The giant python shadow over his head locked onto the Divine Magic Winged Bug as its target, and the inky-ck snake tailshed through the air again.
This time, the Divine Magic Winged Bug did not dare dy its response to the attack. It pped all one hundred and eight pairs of wings suddenly and swiftly moved.
It had witnessed how powerful Nine Snake was and did not dare meet the attack head-on.
However, right at that moment, the ck snake tail abruptly split into countless snake heads, hurtling like a giant toward the Divine Magic Winged Bug to try and epass it.
The Divine Magic Winged Bug speeded up to its limits to try and escape. However, the snake heads frenziedly divided over and over again until, atst, they enveloped the Bug’s body entirely.
Its one hundred and eight pairs of wings turned into sharp des, slicing at the snake heads that had divided multiple times. Sparks flew as the des sliced down, leaving no trace behind at all.
Currently, the Divine Magic Winged Bug had been reduced to a bird in a cage.
However, the cage kept on getting smaller. The snake heads continued shrinking; in the end, everything was swallowed up entirely.
Right at that moment, the Ten Thousand Bug Maze suddenly began to shake.
Lin Huang thought the Bug Tribe had more tricks up its sleeve and wanted to mount a rescue. However, he soon sensed a wave of immense dimensional power.
“They’re trying to escape?!” Lin Huang was stunned for a moment but realized why an instantter.
This move seemed ruthless, but it was actually a wise one.
They were no match for their opponent; the entire hive would fall into enemy hands if the battle dragged on. Naturally, the best choice was to sacrifice a proverbial pawn to save the queen.
Before the Divine Winged Magic Bug waspletely annihted, they would seize the opportunity to escape!
The hive immediately tore open a space rift and headed straight for the deep reaches of the heavens. Clearly, they had made escape preparations much earlier.
However, fleeing was not going to be as easy as it seemed.
Before Nine Snake stepped in to fight, he hadmunicated with Scarlet Fox and Silver through voice transmission, telling them to watch the hive. He wanted to prevent it from escaping.
He had crossed paths with the Bug Tribe in the universe numerous times and had seen them ying simr tricks many times over.
Since Scarlet Fox and Silver had lost their battles, naturally, they did not dare neglect Nine Snake’s order. On the surface, it looked as if they were fully concentrating on watching the battle. In reality, they had never stopped covertly observing the hive with Divine Telekinesis.
As soon as the hive made the slightest move, both of them noticed and intercepted it immediately.
As the two upper-rank Lords joined forces, the space rift that the hive had torn open was instantly obliterated.
Half the hive that had initially made it through the rift into space was sent rebounding right back. The escape n was considered a total failure!
