Chapter 498: Killing and Beheading

"hiss--!"

A terrifying roar came from the mouthparts of the "Beheader". It was so fast that even Gu Yeming felt a little dazzled.

Gu Yeming's heart shuddered. He could feel the deadly threat emanating from this world-eating starworm named "Beheading". It seemed that its existence was to hunt down powerful individuals like him.

The "decapitation" attack missed, but without any pause, the six appendages danced quickly and pounced again in a strange and swift posture.

Its movements were so fast that they were almost incapable of being captured by the naked eye, and each movement left only a blurry afterimage. Gu Yeming reacted quickly and used the time deceleration skill.

[Time Slows Down]

[Spiritual attribute determination in progress]

[Judgment successful! The current time slowdown effect lasts for 50 seconds, and the target's overall speed is reduced by %]

Under the effect of time slowing down, the speed of "beheading" has been significantly slowed down, but even so, its attack still carries a strong sense of oppression.

Gu Yeming clenched the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes were dignified, and the movement of his arm turned into an afterimage, followed by black and red sword energy!

Although "Decapitation" was slowed down, it was still brave.

The black and red sword energy whistled towards the "Beheading", but it twisted flexibly and avoided most of the attacks at an angle that defied common sense. Only a sword energy brushed past its shell, leaving a tiny white mark.

Under the effect of time slowing down, it can still maintain this speed and flexibility...?

It seems to be a star-eating worm with extreme attack and speed...

Seeing this, Gu Yeming frowned slightly, and there was a faint flash of lightning wrapped around the brutal sword in his hand.

Suddenly, he flashed and rushed forward. Each of his swords was wrapped in the violent power of blood thunder, leaving dazzling streaks of lightning in the air.

Faced with this fierce attack, "Decapitation" did not dare to take it head-on. Instead, its appendages danced rapidly and crosswise in front of its body, forming a defensive network.

The lightning spikes hit the appendages, causing a series of roars and flashes of lightning. The powerful impact force caused "Beheading" to retreat several meters.

However, "beheading" was not willing to be suppressed.

After it steadied its body, it let out a sharp hiss, and the metallic luster on its body became brighter and brighter. Then, it abandoned some of its defenses and pounced towards Gu Yeming in an almost suicidal charge.

When Gu Yeming saw "Beheading" rushing towards him so frantically, his expression suddenly changed, and the psionic energy around him surged like a boiling tide, instantly building up a psionic shield around his body, protecting him firmly inside.

"Decapitation" slammed into the psionic shield with a dull roar, and ripples appeared on the surface of the shield, as if it would break at any time.

The violent impact caused Gu Yeming to fly backwards rapidly, and the energy and blood in his body became chaotic like a raging sea.

Taking advantage of the moment when the "beheading" attack was blocked, Gu Yeming quickly stabilized his body in the air, and his whole body instantly turned into several afterimages, attacking towards the "beheading" from different directions.

Each afterimage carried sharp sword energy and the power of blood thunder. For a moment, sword shadows flickered and lightning flashed in the void.

"Decapitation" reacted extremely quickly. Its compound eyes flashed with a faint green light, and its six appendages quickly rotated around its body, resisting Gu Yeming's attack.

But Gu Yeming's attacks were continuous like a storm, and "Beheading" gradually couldn't stand it anymore. Scars appeared on his body, and black blood flowed out of the wounds.

Humph.

Gu Yeming snorted in his heart. It seemed that it was only an extreme attack and speed type Starworm after all. Its defense was not as good as the previous Fortress Starworm. It was not even comparable to the weaker Disaster-level Worm King.

Just as Gu Yeming was about to launch a powerful attack——

"Beheading" suddenly let out an unprecedented sharp scream, and its body began to expand rapidly. Weird lines appeared on its originally hard shell, and an even more powerful aura burst out from its body.

Oh no! It's going to fight to the death!

Gu Yeming secretly thought that something was wrong and immediately distanced himself from "Beheading", watching the other party's every move vigilantly.

The world-eating star worms are not any other intelligent race. They each do their own job. If they say they will fight to the death, they will fight to the death. If they say they will commit suicide, they will commit suicide without any hesitation.

The duty of "decapitation" is to kill powerful individuals of the enemy unit. Once it falls into a disadvantage, the lowest level plan will be activated, and he will do everything he can to drag the enemy down with him!

As if confirming his guess, "Beheader" suddenly jumped up, and his speed was even faster than before, rushing towards Gu Yeming!

Its six appendages were like six sharp blades, stabbing straight into Gu Yeming's vitals.

However, at this time——

[Night Strangulation]

Swish-!

Countless dark chains flew out from all directions like spirit snakes, making sharp sounds of breaking through the wind and flashing black light, accurately wrapping around the body of "Beheaded".

As soon as Decapitation was touched by the chains, it began to struggle frantically, waving its six limbs vigorously in an attempt to break free from the restraints.

However, the chains became tighter and tighter, embedding deeply into its hard shell, and black blood continued to flow down the chains.

"Beheading" let out an angry and painful roar, and the sound echoed in the night, sounding particularly shrill.

Its body twisted violently, and the metal shell rubbed against the chain, making a harsh sound.

Although the power of "Decapitation" is strong, its movements are greatly restricted by these chains, and it can no longer move and attack as flexibly as before.

The current scene had already been planned by Gu Yeming.

Individually powerful World-Eating Starworms like "Beheading" are indeed extremely difficult to deal with. Once the opponent fights desperately, even he cannot say that he can kill it easily.

Calamity-grade Devouring Starworms of this level already have a certain level of intelligence, which can be highlighted in combat.

Judging from the opponent's speed, the probability of hitting the opponent with Night Strangler is normally quite low.

But if the opponent chose to fight desperately, it would be like he was crazy, with many loopholes, and Gu Yeming finally seized the opportunity to restrain him.

So next...

At this time, "beheading" is nothing more than a living target for him.

[Brutal Transformation: Gun Form]

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Gu Yeming raised his gun violently and pulled the trigger continuously towards the decapitation target!

boom! ! !

Beams of energy carrying black and red air currents, like small meteors, whizzed towards the "Beheader" bound by chains.

Every time a beam of light hits the body of "Beheaded", it will explode with an indescribable powerful impact force!

Beheaded struggled frantically under the attack, despair and anger flashing in its dark green compound eyes.

The despair of the Star Devourer is not the fear of death, but the failure to fulfill the duties of this branch.

Its body trembled violently in pain, and cracks quickly appeared on its shell under the bombardment of the energy beam, and black blood continued to flow out like a spring.

However, no matter how it struggled, it was of no avail.

As the attack continued, the "Beheaded" struggle became weaker and weaker. Its body was covered with scars, its shell was riddled with holes, and its life force was swaying like a candle in the wind.

"Beheading" let out a faint hissing sound, and the light in its dark green compound eyes completely dimmed.

The powerful impact of the bullet instantly tore its body into pieces, turning it into countless black fragments that flew in the air.

The chain also lost its target at the moment of "beheading"'s demise, and turned into a point of light and dissipated into nothingness.
