In the woods.
Yu Daohen was still contending with the Left and Right Elders.
But a terrifying aura descended, and all three were startled.
A cold sneer of triumph flashed across the Right Elder's face. "It seems that fellow has unleashed his Natal Soul Gu."
The Left Elder was also slightly surprised.
His old partner truly had some tricks up his sleeve.
They had heard of this Natal Soul Gu from Chen Shanhe.
It could be said to be the Chen family's strongest Gu worm, but the price was the Gu raiser's own soul.
The Right Elder, with a flash of inspiration, had used a small trick to deceive Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe's eyes were blinded by hatred; otherwise, with his strength and knowledge, he would have been able to see through it with a little thought.
Yu Daohen also heard their conversation, his expression becoming grave.
Was this aura released by Chen Shanhe's Gu worm?
To be honest, even he felt a chill from this aura.
Yu Daohen began to worry about Chen Guojun.
Could that old man Chen Guojun handle it?
If he lost, it would be difficult for him to rescue the eight hundred disciples of the Chen family alone.
On the mountaintop.
Chen Guojun looked at the spider summoned by Chen Shanhe, his face filled with helplessness and bitterness.
He already knew that if this Gu formation was destroyed, Chen Shanhe's soul would also vanish.
But at this point, it was too late to do anything else.
He should have killed him directly back then.
He wouldn't have ended up with his soul scattered to the winds.
Once a soul is extinguished, it disappears from this world completely, without even a chance for reincarnation.
Chen Shanhe looked at Chen Guojun, chuckling lightly, with an air of certainty. "Father, we are father and son. Will you do it yourself, or shall I help you?"
Chen Guojun shook his head helplessly and said, "Today, I will teach you one last lesson and show you the true power of the Miao Jiang Chen family's Gu worms!"
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Chen Shanhe sneered disdainfully, waved his hand, and said, "Bite him to death!"
The four Gu worms rapidly grew, eventually reaching over three meters tall, and crawled towards Chen Guojun.
Chen Guojun, on the other hand, was not to be outdone. He also waved his hand and said, "Old fellow, go!"
The black scorpion instantly grew to three meters and crawled forward.
The Gu worms of both sides quickly began to fight.
Chen Shanhe's lips curled upwards; he had already foreseen the outcome of this battle.
It was a four-on-one situation, and the opponent was merely a basic Gu worm.
It was impossible to lose.
Victory would ultimately belong to him!
This was the difference between high-level and low-level Gu worms.
Even nurturing it for fifty years was useless.
In the face of absolute power, time was merely a joke.
But before he could gloat for long, he saw the centipede instantly pierced through by a sting from the black scorpion's tail.
The other three Gu worms attacked the black scorpion, but they were entangled by its remaining two tail stings.
For a time, the battle was fierce and indecisive.
"Impossible!"
Chen Shanhe's face was filled with horror, his head shaking like a rattle. "No, this is absolutely impossible!"
His centipede Gu worm was defeated just like that?
Killed in one round, its body pierced?
He couldn't accept this fact.
Why?
His centipede was a top-tier Gu worm of the Chen family; it couldn't possibly be so easily killed by this black scorpion.
And this black scorpion Gu was just an introductory Gu worm known to everyone in the Chen family. Why could it kill my advanced Gu worm?
Why!
Why could it!!
Chen Shanhe had fallen into madness, clearly having lost control.
The blow was too great, making it difficult for him to accept.
Following this, the Extreme Yin Bone Scorpion was pierced through its body by a tail sting from the black scorpion.
"No, this is definitely not a black scorpion!"
Chen Shanhe was certain that the black scorpion did not possess such terrifying power. He roared at Chen Guojun, "Chen Guojun, what kind of Gu worm is this? Why have I never seen or heard of it!"
Seeing his deranged state, Chen Guojun shook his head in disappointment and said, "This is the most basic introductory Gu worm, the Black Scorpion Gu!"
"No!"
Chen Shanhe refused to believe it, convinced that the old man was lying. He roared and questioned, "You're lying! How can a black scorpion have such combat power?"
Chen Guojun knew he was beyond saving and his expression turned cold. "I told you before, don't underestimate this Black Scorpion Gu. If you nurture it diligently, it's no worse than those advanced Gu worms. But you, you've always ignored my words."
Chen Guojun's words caused Chen Shanhe to recall.
When he was twelve, his father had indeed said that if the Black Scorpion Gu was nurtured with care, it might even grow a second tail.
But at that time, he simply disdained the Black Scorpion Gu and didn't pay it any mind.
By the age of twenty, his father had also told him that the Black Scorpion Gu was no inferior to any advanced Gu worm and advised him to try and get acquainted with it.
But at that time, he was young and full of vigor, focused only on making a name for himself in the martial world.
Such a basic Black Scorpion Gu had no combat power in battles, so he didn't listen.
It wasn't until he was thirty that his father still reminded him to nurture the Black Scorpion Gu.
But by then, he was already infatuated with nurturing advanced Gu worms and couldn't extricate himself.
He had no interest whatsoever in such introductory Gu worms.
But now...
No!
Chen Shanhe suddenly interrupted his memories and returned to reality.
The battle was not over yet, and the victor was still undecided.
Although the Extreme Yin Bone Scorpion and the centipede Gu had been killed, his true trump cards were the Natal Soul Gu and the Bloodthirsty Twin-Headed Snake.
These were the keys to his victory!
He looked towards the center of the battlefield.
The purple spider spat out silk to entangle the black scorpion, while the twin-headed snake seized the opportunity to attack rapidly.
The twin-headed snake locked onto the black scorpion with a suffocating embrace, and then its two heads quickly bit towards its eyes.
Although the black scorpion was entangled and unable to move, its three tails were extremely agile, quickly extending to lock onto the seven-inch point of the twin-headed snake.
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch point, and this twin-headed snake was no exception.
With its seven-inch point locked, the twin-headed snake could not bite the black scorpion's eyes.
For a time, the two behemoths fought fiercely and indecisively.
Seeing this, Chen Shanhe's face was filled with anxiety. He then looked at the expressionless Chen Guojun and commanded his Gu worms, "Go, bite him to death directly!"
The purple spider had the opportunity to jointly attack the black scorpion, but upon receiving its master's command, it could only charge directly at Chen Guojun.
Chen Guojun sighed in disappointment and said, "According to the rules of duels in the Chen family, directly attacking the master without completely killing the opponent's Gu worms is a major taboo. Have you forgotten even this?"
The purple spider had not crawled two steps.
Suddenly, one tail of the black scorpion locked onto the twin-headed snake's seven-inch point, while the other two tails pierced its body and then exerted force.
