The speed of the Worm King is not faster than theirs. As long as they are not obstructed and time is not wasted, they don't have to worry about being hunted down by the Worm King. After all, the other party cannot catch up with them at all.
Yang Qi's expression condensed, and he said in a deep voice, "The intelligence of the worm king is obviously much stronger than other worms. Since he chooses to chase us all the way, I am worried that there will be other worms blocking the way ahead."
It's no wonder that Yang Qi would have such an idea. A creature with high intelligence like the Worm King would not do useless work. Moreover, the Worm King can mobilize swarms of worms over long distances. Although they have temporarily distanced themselves from the Worm King, they still cannot take it lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Xuxing is right. Although we don't have to worry about the threat of the Worm King for the time being, there is no guarantee that he will not mobilize other worm swarms to intercept us ahead." Emperor Jiuyan said solemnly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Yaoyue and Emperor Tianyu on the side could not help but nod their heads slightly. After all, this was the Worm King, not an ordinary worm, and should not be underestimated.
Immediately, Yang Qi and the other three sped up. If they wanted to completely escape danger, the best way was to quickly distance themselves from the Worm King.
As Yang Qi and the other two increased their speed, the distance between them and the Worm King grew larger and larger. However, even so, the Worm King still had no intention of giving up. After noticing this, Yang Qi and the other three became more and more unhappy. In this case, the Worm King did not choose to give up. This was not good news for them.
After all, the Worm King would never do such useless work without some support!
As if to confirm the speculation of Yang Qi and others, just a moment later, dozens of powerful auras appeared within the perception range of Yang Qi and the other three.
"Worm swarm!"
Sensing the swarm of worms ahead, Yang Qi and his three companions' faces darkened. As expected, the Worm King had used some unknown means to attract other worms to intercept Yang Qi and his companions.
"With two worms at the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor, the strength of this worm group is obviously much stronger than other worm groups." Emperor Jiuyan said solemnly.
If it was just one worm at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, it would not be difficult for them to break through the opponent's defense line with their strength. But now, there were two worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor in front of them. With their strength, it would be much more difficult to quickly break through the blockade.
"No wonder the Worm King is chasing us so relentlessly. He has actually mobilized two worms at the second peak of the Martial Emperor level to intercept us." Emperor Tianyu sighed slightly.
At this moment, they also understood why the Worm King kept chasing them, because the other party did have a chance to capture them.
"What should we do now?" Emperor Yaoyue looked at Emperor Jiuyan who was in the lead and asked.
Even with her strength and means, it would be difficult for her to be a match for a worm at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. And it would not be easy for Emperor Jiuyan to quickly break through the obstruction of two worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor alone.
Hearing what Emperor Yaoyue said, Emperor Jiuyan's expression froze. He thought for a moment, then said, "For now, we can only try our best to break through. I will try my best to break through the blockade of the two Martial Emperor Peak Second Level Worms."
Although the worm swarm blocking the area ahead was not weak in overall strength, it was still not as threatening as the Worm King at the third level of the peak Martial Emperor. Therefore, facing the Worm King's pursuit, they could only break out from the direction of the relatively weaker worm swarm.
“Fellow Daoist Jiuyan, are you sure you can break through the blockade of two peak Martial Emperor second-level worms?” Yang Qi looked at Emperor Jiuyan and said.
"No."
Emperor Jiuyan shook his head slightly, and then continued, "If I am given enough time, I can kill two worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, let alone break through their blockade, but..."
They don't have enough time now, as the Worm King behind them is chasing them. In this situation, they must break through the obstruction of the worm group in front of them in a short time. However, Emperor Jiuyan is not very confident that he can do this in a short time.
After all, they were two worms at the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor. Although their overall strength was not as good as that of the practitioners at the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor, and their weaknesses were also very obvious, their vitality was extremely strong.
If the two worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor level chose to fight for their lives, Emperor Jiuyan would have no confidence at all that he could quickly escape from the two worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor level.
Hearing the words of Emperor Jiuyan, Yang Qi was not surprised at all. After all, it was not easy to quickly get rid of the opponent's entanglement when the strength difference was not big. Yang Qi and the other two were able to do this because their strength and means were far beyond the ordinary worms at the peak level of the martial emperor, and they could easily break through the opponent's blockade.
But Emperor Jiuyan couldn't do that, because the worms at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor had been improved in all aspects, and their weaknesses were obviously weakened. Even if he was a practitioner at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, his strength was not enough to easily kill worms of this level.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Jiuyan, I have a way to break through the blockade of the second-level worm at the peak of the Martial Emperor. Leave the other worm to me."
"Um?"
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the faces of the Jiuyan Emperor and the other two changed slightly. They obviously didn't expect that Yang Qi could break through the second level of the worm blockade of the peak martial emperor. You know, even Emperor Tianyu or Emperor Yaoyue didn't have any confidence in doing this, otherwise they wouldn't have set their sights on Emperor Jiuyan.
Emperor Yaoyue looked at Yang Qi and asked solemnly, "Xu Xing, are you really sure you can do this?"
Everyone knows very well that Yang Qi's talent and potential are so strong that even in this world, he can be valued by the Martial Saint. The future achievements of such a practitioner are limitless, and it is not impossible for him to hope to reach the Martial Saint realm.
It can be said that although the strength and means of the three Yaoyue Emperors are all above Yang Qi, they have already regarded Yang Qi as a peer. They also don't want Yang Qi to show off his strength and encounter any accidents here, which will not only be a huge loss for the Taixu Saint Lord lineage, but also for the human race.
It was precisely because of this that, even though Yang Qi had taken the initiative to take on another worm at the second level of the peak Martial Emperor, Emperor Yaoyue was still somewhat worried and asked him to confirm the matter again.
"I'm sure." Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then continued, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough, and I won't take risks with my life."
Seeing that Yang Qi looked confident, Emperor Yaoyue and the other two did not try to persuade him. Yang Qi had seen the strength of a second-level worm at the peak of the Martial Emperor. At this moment, Yang Qi had repeatedly confirmed that he had this ability, so their doubts were naturally reduced a lot.
