Chapter 5232: Chasing After
prehistoric era, those ancient monsters who had already passed down countless generations were older than humans. The earliest humans did not practice cultivation or have any techniques, but the intel...Even with these methods, it was still impossible to stop Su Qing's sharpness. However, delaying Su Qing for a little while wasn't a problem either.
As several bone chains pierced through the surrounding area, Su Qing's breakthrough momentum was abruptly halted. She had to retreat and dodge the joint encirclement of the bone chains.

"It's too late to avoid it now." Yan Gu let out a hoarse laugh. The other party had used too much energy trying to break through just now. Although they almost got killed by Su Qing, once they made it past, for Yan Gu, it was like a bright light after walking through darkness.
Seven bone chains had already sealed Su Qing in a relatively small area. To leave now also depended on whether he agreed.
With a flurry of movements, the two sides clashed. Four bone chains had now connected to the four golden immortal-grade Smoke Ancient Corpse Snakes entwined around Su Qing. Yan Gu's heart was calm. After this long struggle, having consumed an enormous amount of energy, his grand plan was finally nearing completion.
A flash of ferocity appeared in Su Qing's eyes, as if cornered and ready to fight to the death. Several drops of Xuan Yao Ghost Liquid once again shot out from her fingertips, about to transform into a sword shadow to strike at the bone chain. Taking advantage of the instability of the connection between the bone chain and the Golden Immortal-level Yan Gu Shi She on her body, she would attempt a single strike to break through the obstruction.
A thought jolted through Yan Gu's mind. It seemed the other party had this plan all along! He had already consumed a lot of energy sealing Su Qing's compass phantom, and if the bone chain was severed again now, it would be too late to stop her.
Yāngu originally intended to bridge the chain of bones to the opponent, and then using the immense corpse qi accumulated in Gǔfēng over tens of thousands of years to completely suppress Sū Qīng. However, Sū Qīng's strength and desperate efforts exceeded expectations.
The opponent dares to make a desperate attack. Although he is currently facing some trouble, he has the upper hand. How could he not seize this opportunity and go all out
Yan Gu gritted his teeth, the compass in his hand spun rapidly, and he directly aimed it at Su Qing. This strike was extremely powerful, almost comparable to the formidable power of Su Qing's previous sword.
Although the defense of Yan Gu's compass is still inferior to Su Qing's attack using a few drops of Xuan Yao Ghost Liquid, its defensive power is more outstanding than its offensive power.

Moreover, there were several bone peaks forming a barrier. His subordinates joined forces to block the attack. Yangu felt he had blocked the opponent's strike and severely wounded them. As long as he could seriously injure the opponent, the rest would be easy.
The power of the sword forged from drops of Profound Shadow Ghost Liquid had increased beyond its previous level. Under Su Qing's control, it shot towards Yan Gu at high speed. At this moment, Su Qing seemed to have gambled everything on this one strike, her success or failure hanging in the balance. The overwhelming sword intent caused even Yan Gu, who had previously felt confident of victory, to hesitate for a moment.
>
A series of deafening explosions echoed through the air. The bone spikes and sword shadows of the compass school interweaved in a deadly dance, forcing Yangu to retreat despite his best efforts. In an instant, they had clashed hundreds of times. As Yangu's heart pounded with fear, suddenly the sword shadows faltered, their power momentarily extinguished.
Seeing this, Yan Gu was overjoyed. The powerful corpse qi transmitted through the bone chain had a significant pulling effect on Su Qing. Furthermore, as they clashed with each other evenly, she eventually revealed a few weaknesses. Seizing the opportunity, Yan Gu acted decisively, commanding his bone thorns to strike. In a flash of light, it pierced straight into Su Qing's chest.
Suddenly, Su Qing's breathing stopped, her pores shrinking. Her eyes burned with intense unwillingness as her body went limp and fell backward.
Yan Gu burst into laughter. From the moment he met Su Qing, to now, he had been planning and struggling for so long. Finally, his wish was fulfilled. As long as he got the body of the Ghost-Eating Ant Queen, it didn't matter if he lived or died.
After refining this ghostly body, there would be few threats to his existence within the Six Corpse Mountains. As for those old acquaintances who had some grievances with him, he would just wait and visit each of them one by one to settle the score.
Something's not right. The smile on Yan Gu's face froze quickly, and then he looked around warily.
Pffff! Su Qing's fallen body transformed into a middle-aged woman with the head of an ant and the body of a human. A mouthful of black blood spurted from her mouth.
“You’re not the Queen Ant!” Yan Gu was terrified, before he could react, the Xuan Yao ghost liquid behind him, which should have dissipated long ago, suddenly gathered together again, forming a giant sword.
Yangu felt a huge crisis, but just because he thought he had the upper hand, he relaxed a little. Su Qing's counterattack was completed in this instant.
Pfft, the giant sword pierced through him, followed by a soul-piercing scream. Yangu was split in two by this sword, his body turned into two halves of corpses. Even his primordial spirit tried to flee, but it was enveloped by a light Su Qing extended.
At this time, the middle-aged woman's body stiffened. Su Qing retreated from her body, her face also pale for a moment. This ant puppet was also a Golden Immortal level powerhouse among the Void Devouring Ghost Ants.
>
Su Qing chose those with suitable aptitudes from the ant colony and cultivated them into death soldiers. She bestowed upon them a special cultivation method. At critical moments, they could die for her.
The Ant Puppet is an extremely special existence among the Void-Devouring Ants. Its life is intertwined with the ant nest; if the nest is destroyed, the Ant Puppet will find it difficult to survive. Even though Su Qing's body is now independent of the nest, her life is still connected to it.
Once Su Qing lost, the several ant puppets she had trained were also difficult to survive. Because of this, Su Qing's face was pale, and her face could not hide her sadness. "A Li!"
“Your Majesty, do not despair. We, your subordinates, were born to be your guards. Without you, we and our sisters would find it impossible to live. This is the destiny of our Ant Clan.” The middle-aged woman was already extremely weak.
“Allie can no longer serve the Queen Ant, Your Majesty. Please take care…”
Su Qing let out a long sigh. She kept her distance from most of the Void-Swallowing Ghost Ants, because once she got too close to them, feelings would inevitably arise. Su Qing wasn't a tree or a plant; even if she was careful to keep her distance, during the process of personally training the Ant Puppets, the more times she interacted with them, the harder it became for her to remain completely emotionless.
>
Having composed herself, Su Qing saw the panic in the eyes of the low-rank Yan Gu corpse snakes as they scattered and felt a chill.
With a flick of his sleeve, a torrent of devouring void flames surged out, swallowing thousands upon thousands of smoke-bone corpse snakes in an instant.

These aren't ordinary ghost flames. They contain countless phantoms of Void-Devouring Ant soldiers. These are creatures who, in battle for their colony, were gravely wounded and couldn't recover, yet remained utterly loyal to their kin. They voluntarily allowed the flames of their anthill to burn them after death.
After merging with the Void Devouring Inferno, these shadow ants' strength did not diminish from their former selves.
After that, Su Qing took the compass from Yin Gu and refined it. After refining the compass, the nearby bone peaks and blood river naturally came under her control. A hint of joy flashed across Su Qing's face. After refining the compass, Su Qing's perception of this region greatly increased.
“This compass is actually a half-step Xuan Tian level ghost weapon. Although it’s not known for its attack power, it's extremely impressive compared to powerful beings at the level of Da Luo Jinxian.”
On the defensive, it was truly impenetrable. If not for this guy's low cultivation level just now, preventing him from fully unleashing the artifact's true power, this battle might have been quite precarious indeed.
Su Qing was also terrified at this time. Although she still had a huge swarm of Void Devouring Ants as a backup, in the situation just now, even if she released the ant swarm, apart from making Yan Gu more vigilant and using the compass for defense, Su Qing would have almost no chance of winning against him in such a hasty manner.
This victory was possible because Yangu himself had the desire to win and did not want to let other powerful Corpse Ghosts from Liushishan have an easy victory.
Su Qing feigned weakness, creating an opportunity for victory. When the enemy, believing themselves to have achieved great success, relaxed their guard, she seized the moment and turned the tide of battle.

Now that the Shun Yin Luo Pan is in Su Qing's hands, with her cultivation level, its effect is naturally much greater.

Previously, in order to attract Yáng Gǔ's attention and have her fall for a trap, Su Qīng even allowed the Ant Puppet to take the fatal blow for her. She did not immediately separate from the Ant Puppet completely. As a result, she also sustained no small amount of injury herself.
>
Adding to her previous injuries, Su Qing is now suffering from further wounds. However, for Su Qing, the difference isn't significant, after all, without her injuries worsening, she wouldn't be able to withstand the four pursuers of the Tuso King, nor could she rival the many Great Luo Jinxian-level ghosts within Liushibi Mountain.
Now that we have the Shun Yin Compass, it has largely inherited these Bone Peaks, Blood River, and Corpse Clouds, almost controlling this region.
Due to his worsening injuries, even with the Sun Yin Luo Pan in hand, he couldn't kill a few of the pursuers. However, it was very helpful for Su Qing to protect herself.
Su Qing directly unleashed the Void-Devouring Ghost Ant swarm to protect herself, and then began to fully refine the Shun Yin Luo Pan, striving to utilize its power as much as possible before the powerful enemy arrived. However, things rarely go as planned. Su Qing had partially refined the Shun Yin Luo Pan when a toad shadow swayed and appeared at the edge of the bone peak in the southwest.
Su Qing frowned slightly. Now she could use part of the power of the Shun Yin Luo Pan. She was fairly confident in her ability to protect herself, but looking at the current situation, it seemed more serious than she had imagined.
If it were just the Tiao Shi Wang and a few pursuers, that would be fine, but at this time Su Qing had keenly sensed that there was a trace of other extraordinary aura mixed in this Tuo Ling. It was a powerful being from the Yan Gu Shi She, and that trace of corpse dao law power had already made her heart palpitate.
The spectral corpse snake of the Nascent Soul Ghostly Body Realm! Su Qing's complexion changed, she was in danger. Facing the several Corpse King Dragons, she didn't have absolute certainty. Let alone now that a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Ghostly Body Realm had appeared.
In this situation, she had almost no power to resist. Even now, wanting to escape, she didn't know which direction to flee in.
She was a whole realm above her, and as a native of this land, Su Qing couldn't sense her location at all.
The Corpse King of the Crocodiles must have been seriously injured and cornered. He's using this crocodile spirit technique to find her, likely because he has a spatial artifact and needs her body as the queen of the void-eating ants to cast a spell and escape this ghostly realm. Even with such injuries, he dares to scheme against her! What a foolish dream!
“The ant colony, I finally found the queen of the Void Eater Ants.” Quazhu covered his chest wound and winced in pain. His face, which had been clouded with worry, finally lit up with a few glimmers of joy.
“Queen Ant, come out and meet me. Since we’ve been able to track you here, you must know that there's no escaping our grasp. Why not just show yourself and have a good, hard fight” The King of the Crocodiles relaxed slightly, but worry still lingered in his eyes.
But there was no reply, except for the dense swarm of ants. All around them were rivers of blood crisscrossing each other, and towering bone peaks. Within the piles of bones that formed the bone peaks, smokebone corpse snakes once lurked, but now they had been replaced by Void-Devouring Ghost Ants and Rift-Opening Ghost Ants.
“Since the other party is right here, let’s work together to force her out.” Qu Yan said impatiently.
“We barely escaped with our lives before. Each of us used every means at our disposal, consuming several important treasures in the process. But that only prolonged our agony for a while longer. Unless we force the Void Eater Queen out soon, we're all doomed.”
"Alright, time is of the essence, let's get started." Han Yue nodded. They had struggled hard to escape their pursuers, and every moment they wasted risked increasing the danger.
"The other party is hidden in this area and their whereabouts are temporarily unknown. I will take care of this blood river, while you, Dryu, break the corpse cloud. The Kuai brothers, break the Bone Peak. Work together, make sure not to give the other party a chance to organize." The Taishi King pondered for a moment before making arrangements for the others directly.
If these guys were usually this obedient, it would be strange. But right now, with the enemy at the door and their lives on the line, no one is bothering to nitpick about this.
“Alright, I’ll go first.” Before the other person could finish speaking, Han Yue had already made his move. His figure flickered, and a sea of golden and silver Corpse Fire formed a cloud that soared into the void. The dark clouds in the void crackled and hissed as they were consumed by the burning golden and silver Corpse Fire.
With a wave of his hand, the King of Crocodiles caused green light to flicker. A long-necked pot with a crocodile pattern flew out from within. The long-necked pot transformed into a giant crocodile. Its mouth opened wide, and a massive amount of blood from the river was sucked into its belly.
Kuai Yan and Kuai Zhu, the two brothers, were not idle either. They each brandished a pair of black axes, hacking and chopping at the edge. The bone peaks, towering thousands of feet high, exploded under the axe blows, sending countless fragments of bone flying.
Su Qing's heart sank. She hadn't expected these four guys to go all out from the start.
Although these fellows each had varying degrees of injuries, within the Liushibi Mountain's chaotic battleground, they engaged in continuous skirmishes and duels. Through these battles, they all gained a certain level of experience and harvested no small amount of luck. Their strengths have all seen a degree of improvement.

At this moment, their combined attack was truly more powerful than anticipated. As for Su Qing's refinement of the Shun Yin Luo Pan, it wasn't as successful as expected. Under such intense attacks, she was naturally extremely passive for a time.
If the opponent concentrated their attack on a single point, Su Qing could still use the Shun Yin Luo Pan to redirect the incoming attacks. At this time, every location was under heavy assault. With her level of control over the Shun Yin Luo Pan, she could easily handle all of them simultaneously without neglecting any one area.
However, Su Qing also made a decision soon. Since it was impossible to have both ends meet, her original idea of using this place to stall with the other party naturally wouldn't work.
In this situation, there was a need for sacrifice. Su Qing spread her left palm, and the Shun Yin Luopan spun rapidly above it.
As the fingers tapped, several attacked bone peaks trembled and split into seven. Dozens of bone peaks formed an array resembling a compass. A large amount of unburned corpse cloud had their blood absorbed into the compacted form of the bone peaks.
