Those purplish-gold insects were even larger than the other insects. About the size of a finger, they flashed with purple-colored radiance. Their mandibles were as sharp as daggers and they appeared sinister.
However, until now, none of the purplish-gold insects had attacked anyone.
Only the black and silver colored insects were madly attacking the crowd.
The martial artists like Yi Wei and Tian Lang were comparably stronger and despite being attacked by a large number of insects, they were unharmed.
“What treasure is there here?” Su Mo asked Lyu Gang. There did not seem to be anything else in the wide space. aside from the numerous insects and the Ancient Demon’s Brain.
“Su Mo, the medulla of the brain is the treasure!” Lyu Gang’s eyes flashed brightly as he spoke.
“The medulla?” Su Mo was shocked. His eyes were widened in surprise. The Ancient Demon has been dead for umpteen years, but the medulla of the brain is still around?
“What use does the medulla have?” Su Mo asked curiously.
“It is rumoured that the medulla of the brain has a strong spiritual energy, and it is very effective in increasing a martial artist’s mental strength!” Lyu Gang explained. At the same time, he took a look at Su Mo and realised that Su Mo had reached the Rank 2 Martial Honorable Realm.
Su Mo was stunned. An item that had a strong spiritual energy that could increase a martial artist’s mental strength was rare.
Furthermore, these type of treasures could be effective for weaker martial artists but were typically useless for Martial Honorables.
If the medulla of the Ancient Demon could increase his mental strength, it would be greatly beneficial for him.
The increase in mental strength would enable Su Mo to activate a larger number of Fighting Souls, increasing his fighting strength.
With the rise in cultivation rank, Su Mo’s mental strength would also gradually improve. However, this improvement would be very slow.
Su Mo glanced at the massive Ancient Demon’s Brain behind him as he controlled the Natal Spiritual Sword Array and protected the group of True Path Sect disciples along with Lyu Gang.
Since the medulla of the Ancient Demon’s Brain was so miraculous, Su Mo definitely had to obtain some of it.
Shoosh!
Right at that moment, a shadow flew towards the Ancient Demon’s Brain at lightning speed.
This shadow was a young man from the Thundercloud Birds Tribe. His speed was incredibly fast and he immediately neared the Ancient Demon’s Brain.
This man stretched his arm forward quickly towards the Ancient Demon’s Brain.
Suddenly, a purple-gold colored insect swooped towards the young man like a purple-colored arrow.
The speed of the purple-colored insect was incredibly fast and it was hard to keep up with it with one’s eyes.
Tsk!
A tearing sound echoed through the wide space as the purple-colored insect tore its way through the young man’s face. As it directly burrowed a hole through the young man’s face, it entered his skull.
Bam!
The young man’s body fell from the air and hit the floor heavily.
The crowd was instantaneously stunned. The young man from the Thundercloud Birds Tribe was a top martial artist of the Rank 2 Martial Honorable Realm. Without even having the chance to react, the young man was killed instantly. Those purple-colored insects were really terrifying!
Then, the purple-gold colored insect crawled out of the young man’s body and flew back to the Ancient Demon’s Brain.
As the crowd squinted their eyes, they could see clearly that the insect’s stomach had bulged out.
“What a terrifying insect!” Su Mo felt his hair stand. This insect could not only eat a person’s brain, it could also devour the person’s Fighting Soul.
Otherwise, even if the body’s brain was eaten, it would only be a damage to the physical body. The presence of the Fighting Soul would mean that the martial artist was not completely dead.
Buzz buzz buzz~~
Right at that moment, a few dozen purple-gold insects that were on the Ancient Demon’s Brain started to buzz loudly.
Then, the black-colored and silver-colored insects that were attacking the crowd began to retreat. Like a wave of water, all the insects flew back onto the Ancient Demon’s Brain.
A second later, all the insects covered the Ancient Demon’s Brain completely, leaving no gaps to be seen.
The retreating of the insects allowed everyone to heave a sigh of relief. Especially for the weaker martial artists, it was like a weight of their shoulders.
Looking at the Ancient Demon’s Brain, everyone wore serious looks. With so many insects around it, it would be highly dangerous for them to obtain the medulla.
Tian Lang, Yi Wei, Yan Gu and other strong experts also did not act out rashly because they didn’t know how strong those purple gold insects were.
These insects were not typical beasts. With no auras around them, it was hard to identify their cultivation ranks.
No one dared to act first, the young man from the Thundercloud Birds Tribe had taught them all a lesson to not act first.
Su Mo was also not in a hurry to attack. Although he really wanted to obtain the medulla of the Ancient Demon, he did not want to end up a sacrificial lamb.
As he turned his head around, his eyes fell upon Bi Qinghan, and they instantly turned icy cold.
Bi Qinghan had colluded with Li Hentian to kill him in the starry sky previously. Su Mo did not forget this fact.
As if he could feel Su Mo’s gaze on him, Bi Qinghan turned to look at Su Mo. His eyes widened in surprise and he quickly whipped his head around again.
Su Mo coldly laughed before he lifted his feet and strode towards Bi Qinghan.
“Su Mo, what do you want?”
Bi Qinghan’s heart leaped in fear. He secretly took a few steps backward and leaned against Yi Wei.
Everyone else could see the killing intent in Su Mo’s eyes. They were starting to get worried, what was Su Mo intending to do? Did he want to act out against his fellow sect member?
Lyu Gang was similarly shocked and he did not know what Su Mo was intending to do.
“What am I going to do? Do you not know what you did?” Su Mo laughed coldly. Then, a bright ray of light shot out of his palm as the stone sword appeared in his hands.
“Su Mo, are you addicted to killing? Not only did you kill the disciples of the Empty Sky Sect, you also want to kill me!”
Bi Qinghan yelled out as his pupils quivered with worry. He could tell that Su Mo’s cultivation rank had risen, and he would not be a match for Su Mo.
“Enough nonsense, go and die!” The stone sword flashed out brilliantly and Su Mo prepared to attack Bi Qinghan.
“Stop it!”
Right at that moment, a loud but domineering voice echoed through the room. Yi Wei, who was in a red shirt, flashed out and stood in front of Bi Qinghan.
“Su Mo, are you mad? You killed the disciples of the Empty Sky Sect already, but you still want to kill your fellow sect members now?” Yi Wei’s face was red with anger and she glared fiercely at Su Mo.
As the first ranked in the True Path Sect, she naturally wouldn’t let Su Mo kill Bi Qinghan.
Bi Qinghan sighed in relief upon seeing Yi Wei stand up for him. With Yi Wei’s help, Bi Qinghan would become a sage.
After all, even if Su Mo broke through to the next rank, he couldn’t possibly defeat Yi Wei.
Everyone who saw this was confused. There appeared to be an internal conflict between the True Path Sect disciples. They wouldn’t possibly start fighting right?
At the same time, everyone was speechless at Su Mo.
Su Mo had killed two Empty Sky Sect disciples and had Li Hentian hot on his heels to kill him. Yet, Su Mo still had the heart to go against his fellow sect members, he really was seeking his own death!
