Ruling Martial World by Infinite Insect Swarms

Chapter 146: Chapter 141: Arrow of Wind and Thunder, Demon Fiends Attack the City

”Power of Dominator!” Qin Yu’s low shout rang out through the Insect Swarm’s Mind Network. Surging, vigorous power flooded into his body through the connection. Under the visual coverage of dozens of different Insect Race units in the sky, the Insect Nest instantly processed countless streams of data, calculating all of Li Xuehai’s possible escape routes.

WHOOSH!

A Gamma-level Upper Grade Wind and Thunder Arrow shot forth explosively. The Secret Patterns on the arrow activated, swirling with Wind and Thunder Power. Fueled by the eruption of the Power of Dominator, which provided a boost comparable to the strength of a Late Stage Qi Sea powerhouse, the arrow blasted out at an astonishing speed.

How powerful was a Qi Sea Powerhouse? Even while locked in a life-and-death struggle with Situ Ming, Li Xuehai’s expanding Divine Sense constantly monitored his surroundings. Trying to kill him with a sneak attack was simply impossible. He instantly spotted the lightning tearing toward him at extreme speed.

He also saw Qin Yu holding a longbow in the sky. Sneering, Li Xuehai forced Situ Ming back with a fierce saber strike, then delivered a backhanded slash, sending a sharp saber gleam directly at the incoming arrow. He mused that he was not Zhang Pojun, who had just stepped into the Qi Sea Realm. For a mere Qi and Blood Martial Artist to dare challenge a veteran Middle Stage Qi Sea Martial Artist like him was simply biting off more than he could chew!

However, in the next instant, Li Xuehai’s expression changed.

When his full-powered, razor-sharp saber gleam collided with the arrow, it did not shatter the projectile as he had expected. Instead, the saber gleam itself instantly fractured. Emitting a sharp, explosive screech, the Wind and Thunder Arrow crushed the saber gleam, tearing through the air as it shot toward him at terrifying speed.

Horrified, Li Xuehai tried to launch another attack. But it was too late! He could only hurriedly hold his saber horizontally across his chest and desperately gather Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to protect his body.

BOOM!

Li Xuehai felt an irresistible force smash into the long saber in his hands. The violent Wind and Thunder Power instantly sent him flying backward, a sweet taste rising in his throat before he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The impact was so overwhelming that the long saber was knocked right out of his grip.

His entire body was paralyzed by the lightning. Then, the Wind and Thunder Arrow shattered inch by inch, blasting through his body like a shotgun blast.

”This is impossible!” Li Xuehai stared in disbelief. He was a dignified Middle Stage Qi Sea Martial Artist. How could he be killed so easily by a single arrow?

Equally shocked was Qin Wenyuan, who was guarding Qin Yu. After receiving their Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu, the other members of the Qin family had quickly scattered to hunt down the Blood Demon Sect remnants. However, Qin Wenyuan had stayed by Qin Yu’s side. Qin Yu was the future of the Qin family!

He had watched with his own eyes as Qin Yu drew his bow. That was a Middle Stage Qi Sea Martial Artist! Even Qin Wenyuan himself wouldn’t have found it easy to kill him, yet Qin Yu had done it with just one arrow. It was simply unbelievable!

More than a dozen bloody holes now dotted Li Xuehai’s body. Only the tenacious life force of the Qi Sea Realm kept him from dying on the spot. He still wanted to struggle and fight back. Trembling, he fished out a blood-red Elixir and prepared to swallow it, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Situ Ming recognized it as a Blood Demon Pill. How could he miss such an opportunity? He instantly lunged forward in a frenzy. The long spear in his hand let out a dragon’s roar, and a burst of golden light erupted from the tip as it pierced straight through Li Xuehai’s skull. He didn’t give the man a single chance.

Having harvested Li Xuehai’s head, Situ Ming looked up at the sky in shock. He didn’t even spare Li Xuehai another glance; his eyes were glued to Qin Yu, who instantly drew his bow and fired another arrow.

Another Wind and Thunder Arrow blasted out.

Wind and thunder howled. It directly pierced the head of a young-looking girl in the Qi Sea Realm, who was slaughtering people in the crowd with a long tongue extending from a mouth split open like a chrysanthemum.

BANG!

Her brains exploded. She couldn’t be any more dead.

Situ Ming felt a chill rise in his mind. He wondered, ”How could a Qi Sea Martial Artist like the Jade-faced Rakshasa just die like that? Is the strength of this Qin family genius actually this terrifying?”

He recognized the longbow in Qin Yu’s hand. It was the Gamma-level Upper Grade Thunder Chasing Cloud Bow exchanged from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the arrow was a Gamma-level Upper Grade Wind and Thunder Arrow. Its power was extraordinary, and theoretically, it could kill a Qi Sea Realm expert. But which Qi Sea Realm cultivator didn’t have a good weapon of their own? He had watched helplessly as the Wind and Thunder Arrow knocked the long saber right out of Li Xuehai’s hands.

Just what kind of terrifying power was this?

While shocked to the core, Situ Ming didn’t stop moving. He immediately charged into the cavern spewing billowing blood-red smoke. Attacking with all his might, he caused the entrance to collapse, barely sealing off the bloody mist. Without the source, the mutations of the city’s residents could finally be stabilized.

”Thank you to the Qin family for your assistance!”

Only then did a blood-soaked Situ Ming fly above the Qin Residence, clasping his fists in a salute to Qin Yu and Qin Wenyuan. His gaze toward the Qin family had clearly changed. First, they had provided intelligence. Then, at the crucial moment, they had revealed such terrifying combat power. How was this Qin family teetering on the edge of collapse, as outsiders claimed? Even if the Celestial Wind Ancestor was dead, with those terrifying Flying War Beasts in the sky, the Qin family could firmly hold their position as one of the four great families!

This sudden emergence of a Qin family prodigy was utterly terrifying.

Qin Wenyuan remained silent. Thank him? He was still completely bewildered himself.

”You’re too polite. Demonic factions like the Blood Demon Sect deserve to be killed by everyone! General Situ, you should first focus on clearing out the Blood Demon Sect remnants within Bishui City.” Qin Yu glanced at Situ Ming, casually firing another arrow to kill a Qi and Blood Martial Artist of the Blood Demon Sect.

”Alright!” Situ Ming gave Qin Yu a deep look. When hundreds of factions, big and small, had fled Bishui City in pursuit of the Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token, only the Qin family had stepped up!

”For thwarting the Blood Demon Sect’s plot and saving the millions of residents in Bishui City, the Qin family deserves the highest merit! Our Demon Suppression Bureau will definitely provide a highly satisfactory reward!” Situ Ming declared solemnly, watching the Qin family disciples, Rapid Insects, and Thunder Rocs rapidly disperse to cooperate with the Demon Suppression Bureau and Evil Suppression Bureau Army in mopping up the Blood Demon Sect remnants.

”We can talk about that later. Organize your men and prepare to defend the city! The Demon Fiends in the Bishui River are about to attack,” Qin Yu said, shaking his head slightly.

”Understood!” Situ Ming glanced outside the city. A massive horde of aquatic Demon Fiends had bypassed the Nine Heavens Sealing Demon Formation spanning the Bishui River and was already heading toward Bishui City. The closest ones were less than a kilometer away!

The Evil Suppression Bureau Army stationed on the city walls was already firing Crossbow Arrows, but relying solely on them to hold back these Demon Fiends was absolutely impossible. They would struggle to even delay the advance! Without daring to waste another second, Situ Ming let out a roar and swooped down.

”They won’t be able to hold it! The Evil Suppression Bureau Army might be fine against ordinary Demon Fiends, but facing these elites from the Bishui River Dragon Palace, they won’t last long.” Qin Wenyuan watched the vanguard of crab-like Demon Fiends charging forward. Their bodies were thirty meters large, covered in heavy iron armor, and they were even led by a Qi Sea Realm beast. Behind them, large numbers of shrimp and turtle Demon Fiends followed closely.

Some fish and other aquatic Demon Fiends, after bypassing the Nine Heavens Sealing Demon Formation, simply jumped back into the water, manipulating the currents to surge toward Bishui City. That astonishing momentum made even his heart heavy. Holding Bishui City would not be easy. The Qin family disciples would likely suffer extremely heavy casualties.

The Nine Heavens Sealing Demon Formation across the river blocked most of the aquatic Demon Fiends, Chen Jianqiu had pinned down the Bishui River Dragon King, and the Insect Swarm in the sky was raining down bombardments while clashing with the Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers. However, the remaining Demon Army was still massive in number.

”It doesn’t matter,” Qin Yu said calmly, watching the aquatic Demon Fiends surging toward the city.

He naturally knew that the Evil Suppression Bureau Army and the personnel from the Demon Suppression Bureau couldn’t hold the line. The Evil Suppression Bureau Army was a local force primarily meant to maintain order in surrounding cities; they lacked true experts. The Demon Suppression Bureau had many elites, but they were severely understaffed. It was completely normal for them to be outmatched by the full-force elite deployment of the Bishui River Dragon Palace.

”The Insect Swarm under my command is more than just an aerial force!”
