Ruling Martial World by Infinite Insect Swarms

Chapter 145: Chapter 140: Breakthrough Battle! 10,000 Li Sound Transmission Gu

Above the Bishui River, massive waves rolled and a raging tide surged.

Amidst the crashing waves, a dense, overwhelming swarm of various aquatic Demon Fiends either shot out from the Bishui River or manipulated the currents to bombard the Nine Heavens Sealing Demon Formation blocking the center of the river. Above the water, nine Flying Ships continuously spewed attacks of flames, wind blades, and more. The elite Martial Artists of the Demon Suppression Bureau within the Grand Array struck out relentlessly, bolstered by the formation’s power.

Yet, their efforts seemed like a drop in the bucket. Even the Demon Suppression Bureau’s great general, Zhang Han, appeared powerless amidst the surging Demon Tide.

There were simply too many! At first, the Bishui River Dragon King had only brought twenty to thirty thousand elite Demon Fiends to attack. However, when the great battle erupted, under the pressure of his dragon might, all the Demon Fiends in the entire Bishui River began to converge. Even ordinary fish and shrimp joined the Demon Tide, making the assault even more frenzied.

Led by the Bishui River Dragon King, the entire array nearly shattered in an instant. Fortunately, Chen Jianqiu’s timely support intercepted the Bishui River Dragon King. In the sky, the attacks from the Heaven-Burning Fire Crows drew a significant amount of enemy fire, allowing the Nine Heavens Mad Demon Formation to barely hold on.

But barely holding on was all it was doing.

The Heaven-Burning Fire Crows’ offensive power was not weak, but their damage against the Demon Fiends in the Bishui River was minimized due to the water’s presence. The vast majority of the underwater Demon Fiends possessed a Water Control Ability. They could manipulate the currents to shield themselves. The Underwater Demons at the riverbed cared even less about the surface attacks, directly striking at the foundation of the Nine Heavens Mad Demon Formation.

On both sides of the river, large hordes of Demon Fiends had already bypassed the Grand Array and were lunging straight toward Bishui City behind it. Once a massive number of Underwater Demons entered the city, Bishui City’s fate would be a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, the situation inside Bishui City was equally chaotic. Although the Blood Sea Array had been broken, the members of the Blood Demon Sect inside had not been completely wiped out. The battle was still ongoing. From the three Blood Demon Sect lairs, mist continuously spewed forth. The surviving experts of the Blood Demon Sect fled frantically, causing a blood mist to permeate the air, which drove large numbers of civilians into a mindless frenzy.

”The three Elders should strike now! Let’s eliminate the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect within the city first,” Qin Yu said in a deep voice as he looked at Elders Qin Wenyuan, Qin Zhengyuan, and Qin Mohe. Since they had already intervened, they might as well see it through to the end and protect Bishui City.

Whether logically or emotionally, this was the best course of action for the Qin Family. If the city were breached and washed in blood by the Underwater Demons, their prior sharing of intelligence with the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Insect Swarm’s intervention would lose all meaning. But as long as they successfully saved Bishui City, the Demon Suppression Bureau would owe the Qin Family a massive favor. And the Demon Suppression Bureau would have to offer sufficient benefits in return. Otherwise, who would ever lend a hand in the future?

During this great battle, hundreds of factions in Yunlong County, large and small, were watching. The Primordial Mansion Realm mighty figure in the Treasure Pavilion, Wan Yongchang, was watching as well!

Qin Yu understood this logic clearly, and the three Qin Family Elders understood it just as well.

”Understood! Good boy, to think that the hidden strength in your hands is so astonishing! This isn’t just a mere few hundred War Beasts!” Qin Wenyuan cast a complex look at Qin Yu.

He originally thought they had simply discovered a genius youth. Now, looking at it, how was this merely a genius? This was practically a pillar holding up the heavens! No wonder Qin Yu was unwilling to leave, and no wonder he had the confidence to seize the Five Poison Sect inheritance. It turned out the hidden power in his grasp was this terrifying!

In his heart, he felt incredibly fortunate that he had treated Qin Yu with true sincerity, nurturing him as a family heir rather than treating him as a mere junior to be dragged away by force. Thinking of this, Qin Wenyuan wanted to laugh out loud. The Qin Family’s rise was imminent! After today’s battle, who would still dare to say that the Qin Family was in decline?

”Striking is no problem, but do you plan to give up on that Five Poison Sect inheritance?” Qin Mohe looked at Qin Yu, then at the figures disappearing into the distance, and couldn’t help but ask.

Almost the very instant the Blood Sea Array shattered, the Su Family elder who had successfully bid on the Five Poison Sect inheritance immediately shot toward the outside of the city. He landed on a Five-Colored Demon Spider and escaped directly underground.

The hundreds of factions, both large and small, scattered to the winds. They either pursued the Su Family members or simply fled. The Grand Elder of the Zhang Family, Zhang Ling, who was at the Peak of Qi Sea, stared grimly at the large flock of Flying War Beasts in the sky before swiftly leading the Zhang Clan Members away.

Offend the Blood Demon Sect? Fight to the death with the Bishui River Dragon Palace? It was better to run first!

Even Wan Yongchang, who had been furious just moments ago, hovered in the air, his thoughts unknown.

”Who said I’m giving up? My Insect Swarm is much more than what’s in front of you!” Qin Yu chuckled.

”You’re still hiding more?” Qin Zhengyuan felt his scalp tingle. Five thousand Qi and Blood Realm War Beasts—this force still wasn’t the entirety of what Qin Yu had?

”Forgive me, three Elders, but I indeed have a bit more hidden away. When I said earlier that I have four at the Qi Sea Realm under my command, I wasn’t lying.” Qin Yu’s lips curled into a smile.

When the Insect Swarm was drilling its arrays, the Red Feather Demon King was at the forefront initially. As for where the fastest Qi Sea Realm units in the Insect Swarm had gone right now, one could easily guess. He would protect Bishui City, and he would also take the Five Poison Sect inheritance! With Insect Swarm reconnaissance units deployed well in advance across a thousand-kilometer radius, no matter which faction obtained the Inheritance Key, they wouldn’t escape his sight!

”Understood!” Qin Wenyuan let out a long breath and shouted loudly, ”All Qin Clan Members, strike immediately and slay all the Blood Demon Sect remnants in the city!”

”Yes!” all the Qin Clan Members answered loudly, looking at Qin Yu with fervent gazes.

They had heard the conversation between Qin Yu and the three Elders. They knew clearly that the Flying War Beasts bombing crazily in the sky and battling the Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers all belonged to the Qin Family. Those clan members who originally harbored some dissatisfaction toward Qin Yu were now completely fired up, any such thoughts completely banished.

”Take these. With them, none of the Insect Swarm units will attack you, and they can coordinate with you in battle,” Qin Yu mentally willed it.

A Thunder Roc swooped down from the sky, carrying a bundle on its back. His Divine Thought swept over it, and the bundle floated into the air.

SWISH—

The contents of the bundle were revealed to everyone. They were a special Insect Race, resembling something called a ”Phone Insect” from an anime in his past life. Their appearance was strikingly similar to snails, about the size of a palm.

”I call them the ’Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu.’ You can communicate with each other through them. They can be used after dripping blood to bind them as their master. If you encounter a crisis, you can quickly call for backup.”

This was an excellent opportunity. It was a chance to roll out the Insect Swarm’s communication network. The Qin Clan Members would be the best showcase window, and this great battle was the perfect promotional opportunity.

”Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu? Good!” Qin Wenyuan’s eyes lit up; hearing the name, he immediately knew what they did.

Every Qin Clan Member took a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu and dripped a drop of blood onto its snail-like shell. The bodies curled up inside the shells then stretched out.

”Just place them on your body. They will attach themselves proactively and won’t fall off even in combat. All Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu have unique signals.

”As long as you call out a name, you can contact each other.”

With that said, Qin Yu quickly leaped onto the back of a Thunder Roc. The Thunder Chasing Cloud Bow appeared in his hand, and twelve Flowing Cloud Flying Sabers hovered by his side, swimming around him like fish.

The Insect Swarm was fighting.

His heart was already thirsting for battle. Fierce winds swirled around him, and fine sparks of lightning crackled with a BZZT. He had a premonition that he would be able to break through during this great battle!

The Insect Swarm’s great battle was not purely to protect Bishui City. It was for a breakthrough!

The frenzied slaughter between the Wind and Thunder Insect Tide and the Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers in the sky made his mastery over the Wind and Thunder Concealment Realm increasingly proficient. And what he wanted was to personally engage in the carnage. To completely pierce through that last remaining bottleneck!

As for exposing the Insect Swarm’s trump cards? It didn’t matter anymore. Once he broke through and the Insect Swarm advanced to Tier Three, there would be no need to worry about these trump cards at all!

WHOOSH—

The Thunder Roc soared into the sky, letting out an excited cry. With his Longbow in hand, Qin Yu scanned the area below.

In the direction of the Song Residence, Situ Ming was locked in battle with the Blood Demon Sect Squad Leader, Li Xuehai. Both of them were covered in blood, evidently having sustained serious injuries. In other areas of the city, the experts of the Demon Suppression Bureau were also doing their utmost to encircle and kill the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.

A Gamma-level Upper Grade Wind and Thunder Arrow was drawn.

The bow was drawn like a full moon, instantly locking onto Li Xuehai.

”Die!”
