Seeing Honda trying to escape, the Holy Armor Centipede King immediately let out a tremor, dragging its body like a super-large road roller, rumbling and crushing the ground, carving out huge ravines three meters deep, chasing after Honda in a frantic pursuit.
In less than twenty seconds, both the Fallen Angel and the Holy Armor Centipede King disappeared from the survivors' sight. Except for those with enhanced vision, ordinary ability users couldn't see the massive figure of the Holy Armor Centipede King. Additionally, what slightly reassured the survivors was that the Fallen Angel, whose strength was unknown, also followed, seemingly to assist Honda.
Above the scarred earthquake site, everything was eerily quiet, as if the air had solidified, leaving only the survivors' breathing and heartbeats.
"It… it just left?"
"Valkyrie-sama led that centipede away… Is she really not in danger?"
"That's crazy, she's practically fearless!"
"All we can do is pray… hoping Valkyrie-sama is safe and sound."
"So we're safe now, right? We're safe, we must be safe, aren't we? Valkyrie-sama won't disappoint us. She will definitely succeed in keeping the centipede away from us. And Fallen Angel-sama also went to help."
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in gasps, sighs, praises, and prayers, looking at each other and discussing the common topic.
On the other side, Honda flew quickly. Behind her was a centipede several hundred meters long, but the further she got from the crowd, the more excited Honda became, and the immortal spiritual power in her body began to surge.
"Uh! Li Jiayu actually followed, that's a bit troublesome. But I still need to put on a good show!" Honda sensed behind her and discovered a familiar figure.
Honda flexibly dodged the Holy Armor Centipede King's attacks while luring it to a suitable location.
Finally, Honda stopped. This made the Holy Armor Centipede King very happy and excited; this little minion who had kept its treasure out of reach had finally stopped. "Watch me devour you whole!"
This made Li Jiayu, who was following behind the Holy Armor Centipede King, feel a tightness in his heart, indicating that Sister Honda had been caught by the Holy Armor Centipede King.
"Hmph! You'll be in despair later." Looking at the Holy Armor Centipede King's tyrannical eyes, Honda threw the shikon jewel into her mount space. Anyway, such a small thing, she could just say she accidentally lost it during the fight. Kikyo wouldn't say anything!
"Unsheathe!" Honda's small mouth opened, and a blue light shot out from her mouth. It was Tianya, which Honda had not yet completely refined. While guiding the Holy Armor Centipede King, Honda had suppressed its legendary aura, then shrunk Tianya and hid it in her mouth!
"Awoo~~~" Looking at the flying blue light, the Holy Armor Centipede King's eyes flashed with disdain. It didn't believe this little guy, only at the peak of the third stage, could injure it. In other words, it was careless.
"Pfft~~" The sharp Tianya pierced a hole in the arrogant centipede, making it roar in pain. But more than the pain, what bothered it more was that it had actually been injured by a third-stage minion. Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.
Its truck-sized head crashed towards Honda, but Honda nimbly dodged it.
"Forget it, dragging this out for too long isn't good!" Opening her Heavenly Eye, Honda noticed the shock on Li Jiayu's (clone) emotionless face. He hadn't expected Honda to be able to contend with the Holy Armor Centipede King; this completely exceeded his expectations.
Not wanting to expose more, Honda raised Tianya.
"Nine Heavens Profound Karma, transform into Divine Thunder. Majestic Heavenly Might, guided by the sword!"
Accompanied by the ancient incantation, Tianya, like snow, transformed into a giant sword that could cleave the heavens. Endless heavenly might and lightning encircled the giant sword. Beneath the Tianya Sword, at the moment when the endless blue light fully bloomed, a faint golden hue subtly appeared within Honda's figure, carrying a sense of solemnity, yet also a touch of eeriness.
"Awoo~~ Awoo" The Holy Armor Centipede King finally felt something was wrong. It roared uneasily, but it was so suppressed by this heavenly might that it couldn't lift its head. It panicked, it wanted to escape. But it was firmly locked by that immense power, it wanted to beg for mercy. But who would listen to its roars!
"Slash!" Honda compressed the power of thunder, attaching it to Tianya. As the energy saturated, Honda swung Tianya, slashing at the Holy Armor Centipede King's massive body. The colossal giant sword instantly descended upon the Holy Armor Centipede King's despairing eyes.
Li Jiayu instantly closed his eyes, because the light was simply too strong. If he kept looking, he would go blind. That light, which seemed to cleave the world, in his opinion, had already decided the outcome.
"Phew~~" Honda, while Li Jiayu had his eyes closed, put the Holy Armor Centipede King's body into the Purple Gold Gourd. As for the explanation, Honda intentionally burned her hands, making them look incredibly miserable, creating the illusion that 'she had used all her strength to blast the Holy Armor Centipede King into smithereens, and was severely injured because she used a move beyond her power.' Moreover, this kilometer-long giant gully would definitely make Li Jiayu believe Honda's words!
"Are you alright, Sister Honda!" Li Jiayu's eyes adjusted, and he flew in front of Honda. Looking at Honda's 'miserable' appearance, he wanted to move but didn't dare.
"That's right! I'm the Pope of Light!" At this moment, Li Jiayu finally remembered his inheritance and began to use his immature holy light to cast a healing spell. This was the first time he was grateful for his inheritance.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! Let's go quickly! I'm a bit tired. Such a big commotion from the battle will attract other bugs, let's go quickly." Honda refused Li Jiayu's offer to support her, and then! She flew unsteadily, which gave Li Jiayu a huge headache. After a difficult half an hour, they finally saw the crowd.
It took ten minutes to finally find the people from Xijiang University. Then, Honda spat out a mouthful of old blood onto the ground and collapsed into Xiao Wanqing's arms, feigning unconsciousness, which almost made Xiao Wanqing cry. She immediately hugged Honda and ran into the house, quickly treating and bandaging Honda.
She didn't want the smelly man Li Jiayu to touch her, even if! Being held in the arms of a married woman was much better than being in a man's arms.
With Honda's return, the morale of the entire survivor team soared. The military even sent people to deliver some tonics as a gesture, and! Honda's military rank was also raised by two levels.
These things had nothing to do with Honda, who was feigning unconsciousness and eventually truly fell asleep.
