CHAPTER 265
CHAPTER 265 Uncontrollable Rage
Lu Ming was no gourmet, nor was he particularly fussy about his food. But he held one firm conviction—filth was not meant to be consumed.
And insect eggs? They were the epitome of filth.
The memory of the egg—wriggling, slimy, oozing like molten lava when crushed—flashed through his mind, the stench overwhelming his senses. He shuddered, remembering the thing shattering against his teeth.
Trembling, Lu Ming stuck out his tongue, brushing it against his teeth.
"It smells..."
"It smells..."
"IT SMELLS!!"
The shattered dung beetle egg had left its foul trace, lingering in his mouth, and with it came an uncontainable fury.
His vision blurred red. A massive killing intent erupted from his core, washing over the entire city.
At that moment, Hao Huang turned.
Even the zombie beasts outside the city shifted their attention, as if they could hear the thunderous roar building within Lu Ming.
"I’ll tear you to pieces!!"
Lu Ming had lost all control. It was as if someone had forced an earthworm down his throat.
—If you're not careful, you might even bite off the earthworm’s head and swallow it down with a bit of gruel...
But then, there was a problem. How would you react in that moment?
Lu Ming, by nature, was a rather peaceful individual. He didn't enjoy fighting and preferred tranquility.
However, that didn't mean he didn't have a temper. In fact, he was just exceptionally good at controlling it.
There’s a saying—When an honest man gets angry, you won’t even have time to kneel.
The overwhelming humiliation shattered Lu Ming’s rationality in an instant. He was furious. He was manic. It was as if a blazing fire had ignited deep within him, burning with a heat that allowed for no pardon. There would be no forgiveness. At this moment, Lu Ming wasn’t thinking about the consequences.
Only death could satisfy the fury searing through his heart!
The Queen of Blade’s eyes widened in shock. A series of cracks echoed from her neck bones as Lu Ming’s left hand gripped her tightly, immobilizing her head.
At the same time, his right hand, seemingly ordinary, reached slowly toward her mouth.
"You enjoy feeding worms to others?"
"You like breaking people’s teeth?"
"I’ll let you experience it for yourself!"
The force was undeniable. It dawned on the Queen of Blade, in that terrifying instant, that the man before her was no ordinary human—he was a monster.
A sudden buzzing crackled through the air. A sharp blade aura tore through space, slashing toward Lu Ming’s neck with lethal precision.
Yet, the Queen of Blade’s attack proved utterly useless.
Her hand trembled slightly, a thin line of blood trickling from her right index finger. Her nails—the very source of her title, Blade—had shattered on impact. These ten nails, her most formidable weapon, were powerless against Lu Ming. Her blade couldn't even penetrate his Body Protective technique, shattering instead under the recoil.
If one plan fails, try another.
Drawing upon a massive amount of origin power, the Queen of Blade conjured origin power bullets, launching them at Lu Ming in a desperate barrage. At the same time, she tried to extract the origin power from within his body, hoping to sap his strength.
These were the innate abilities of an Origin Realm expert—the art of origin control.
But even now, despite not having fully activated his Origin State, Lu Ming’s origin power remained unreachable. The Queen of Blade’s efforts were futile. Her flashy origin power bullets didn’t even scratch him.
While she struggled in vain, Lu Ming’s hand had already clamped down on her mouth.
“Break it! Break it, break it, break it, break it!”
He crushed and twisted, the force of his grip turning the Queen of Blade’s mouth into a mangled mess. Blood and teeth splattered across the ground.
Fueled by his rage, Lu Ming turned his sights to the dung beetle general, who had just returned to the battlefield.
With a simple pinch, Lu Ming tore off the dung beetle's head.
In his crazed state, he didn’t care that these insects were filthy. Again and again, he crushed the head, turning it into a squelching ball of bloody meat. Without hesitation, he ruthlessly stuffed it into the Queen of Blade's mouth.
As he forced it in, Lu Ming’s bloodshot eyes bore into hers, his voice hoarse with rage.
“Eat. Don’t you love eating insects?”
“Then eat!”
Crack—
Crack—
Lu Ming's entire hand pushed deeper, past the Queen of Blade’s throat. He twisted with more force, shoving his arm further until he reached her stomach.
The Queen of Blade's once beautiful face had been utterly ruined. Her jaw was shattered, teeth and bones splintering grotesquely through her torn flesh. Lu Ming’s arm speared into her body like a pole, stretching her insides to their limit.
“Eat, eat! There's plenty more where that came from!”
He withdrew his hand, then picked up the headless body of the dung beetle general. Without a moment's pause, Lu Ming stuffed the half-human-sized carcass into her ruined mouth.
The humanoid Queen of Blade couldn’t possibly swallow something of that size. But that didn’t matter to Lu Ming.
Her mouth wasn’t big enough?
Her throat wasn’t big enough?
Then he’d make it fit.
With one hand gripping the dung beetle general and the other seizing the Queen of Blade, Lu Ming pressed them together, forcibly matching their mouths.
Pfft!
Pfft!
He squeezed with crazed intensity.
Bones cracked.
Juice splattered.
He didn’t stop until both of his hands clasped together, crushing them into one. Whatever had once been the Queen of Blade or the dung beetle general had now been reduced to a shapeless meat patty in his grasp.
Lu Ming unclasped his hands, and the mangled mess dropped to the ground.
He stared coldly at the formless mass, his voice numb.
"Are the bugs delicious?"
The battle in the residence had been swift and brutally one-sided. Lu Ming’s roar had already alerted the entire city, and he could feel several Origin Realm perceptions sweeping toward him. But he no longer cared.
As he stared at the meat patty, his gaze flickered, a hint of surprise cutting through his cold expression.
“Not dead?”
Smack!
The meat patty exploded, and a transparent golden cicada the size of a palm shot out, shimmering in a flash of golden light as it flew off into the distance.
Insect Clan secret technique: [Origin Realm Origin power Skill—Golden Cicada Shedding Shell!]
Before the Golden Cicada could escape far, Lu Ming had already materialized out of thin air in front of it, moving faster than the insect itself.
He reached out, ready to snatch the Golden Cicada, but just as his fingers were about to close around it, the creature exploded into a burst of golden light.
It wasn’t self-destruction.
It was a peculiar escape technique, nearly impossible to predict or prevent.
Lu Ming slowly retracted his hand.
“I see...” he muttered, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
He closed his eyes, and unlike other Origin Realm experts, a far deeper and more subtle perception radiated from his body. Every blade of grass, every tree, every living creature within the city—man or beast—every breath, and even the faintest stir of the wind fell under his awareness.
This heightened perception was unique to Lu Ming, derived from his extraordinary body. He could listen... and smell.
“Monster,” a faint voice, accompanied by the distinct scent of the Queen of Blade, drifted into his ears and nose.
Lu Ming’s eyes snapped open, and he turned sharply to his right.
“Found you.”
His voice was calm, but the blood-red hue in his eyes only deepened, thickening like a sea of blood. The humiliation burned within him, driving him to the brink of madness. He would not stop until he had faced the Queen of Blade one last time—this time to the death.
“Today, even your god can’t save you.”
His voice dropped to a whisper.
“I said it.”
