Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2271: Chapter 265: Duke Shouzhe’s Banquet! Congratulations from All Sides

The wings of the Gu bugs connected with each other, resembling a moving dark cloud that completely blocked out the sunlight in the sky!

Bzzzzz!

As the countless Gu bugs trembled their wings, the sound waves grew louder, and a strong sense of oppression, like a raging wind and tsunami, swept over.

For a moment, even the exclamations around the arena disappeared.

Yet, in the midst of the insect swarm, a bizarrely dressed, barefoot woman was gracefully coming on an exquisite giant butterfly, calmly playing a jade flute.

The flute music was melodious.

The long wind in the sky lifted her jet-black hair, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate features.

Her appearance was gentle and serene, yet deep within her brows, there was an inexplicable stubbornness.

Amidst the tens of thousands of the Insect Tribe Army, she seemed like an aloof dominator, proud and indifferent, with an otherworldly charm.

This woman, needless to say, was naturally Wang Luo Jing, the fifth child of the “Luo” generation and famous along with Wang Luoqiu.

The exquisite giant butterfly beneath her feet was naturally her Lifelong Spirit Insect, the “Heaven Silkworm Gu,” which she inherited from the previous Saintess, Dai, when she became the Sacred Gu Clan’s Saintess.

Over the years, with the drive of Wang Luo Jing’s own bloodline and various resource investments, the Heaven Silkworm Gu had successfully transformed into a higher level “Emperor Butterfly.”

Now, it embodied the true form of the “Sacred Gu” of the Sacred Gu Clan.

With its mental control assistance, Wang Luo Jing’s ability to control Gu bugs had made great strides in both quantity and quality; she alone could form an army, and her combat power was incomparable to the past.

As Wang Luo Jing gracefully arrived, the jade flute’s sound gradually shifted from melodious to rapid, entering a higher frequency almost imperceptible to the human ear.

Under the command of the flute music, countless insect swarms vibrated their wings and surged towards Shentu Jingming.

“Oh my God~” Shentu Jingming’s face turned white with fright, tears streaming down, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have chosen Wang Luo Jing, Luo Qiu Empress, please come back~~”

Sadly, with the mess he created, it was too late for regrets now.

This battle was extremely fierce for Shentu Jingming. Although he struggled to fight back and relied on the powerful Red Lotus Karma Fire to destroy more than half of the Gu insect army, he was also bitten all over by the bugs, looking miserable.

If Wang Shouzhe had not sent a remote message to Luo Jing to stop, it might have directly triggered an international conflict.

The spectators were also silent, their faces slightly pale, filled with awe and fear towards the “Insect Emperor” Wang Luo Jing who was wreaking havoc on stage.

As for Wang Luoqiu, who appeared earlier, the crowd secretly gave her a nickname, “Empress of War.”

It can only be said that these two indeed lived up to their ranks, tied for third on the Purple Abode Leaderboard, with combat power truly overwhelming.

In the end, Shentu Jingming was carried away.

However, despite looking so miserable, he was not fundamentally hurt, and after relying on the quality Dan medicine and healing methods of the Demon Dynasty Imperial Family, he was lively again in half a day.

He resumed other competitions.

This time, he once again examined the leaderboard. Currently ranked fifth was a person named “Wang Shouye.”

He had heard of Wang Shouye and had met him a few times. He was a gentle and refined young gentleman, with a good temper and easy to talk to.

The most important thing was, he was an Alchemist.

Generally speaking, Alchemists’ combat power was just so-so, having been cooped up in the Alchemy Room all day, having no substantial combat experience.

Moreover, in terms of playing with fire, how many families in this world can compare to the Red Lotus Karma Fire?

Unexpectedly, the Alchemist Wang Shouye, who supposedly had “just so-so” combat power, threw out a Blue Flame Gourd right at the start.

The blazing blue flame danced across the sky, its power astonishing.

But that’s not all.

Wang Shouye also mastered a Peculiar Fire known as “Nine Netherworld Flames,” its power no less than his Red Lotus Karma Fire.

For a while, Shentu Jingming was once again trapped in a bitter battle.

Wang Shouye’s Blue Flame Gourd was quite formidable, not only spewing out a blue flame with terrible destructive power but also capable of devouring and absorbing the Red Lotus Karma Fire, constantly enhancing the blue flame’s potency, directly targeting Shentu Jingming.

And with the Blue Flame Gourd and Nine Netherworld Flames working in tandem, it brought forth endless variations, full of wonders.

In terms of flames, Wang Shouye had indeed played a masterful game.

In fact, this is also a point that many people tend to overlook. If it weren’t for Wang Shouye’s formidable control over flames, precise and profound research into fire laws, how could he attempt to refine the 7th Rank Sacred Pill while still in the Purple Abode Realm?

Fortunately, the talents of both were comparable; Shentu Jingming was already at Peak Purple Abode, suppressing Wang Shouye in cultivation base, and the resources of the Demon Dynasty Imperial Family were deep and profound, with a wide array of means.

This exchange ended as a tie, fought evenly and inseparably.

Two hours later, they were still in a deadlock. After a brief discussion, they decided to end on an equal footing, both tying for fifth place.

“Brother Jingming, I admire you.”

Wang Shouye put away the Peculiar Fire and Blue Flame Gourd, cupping his fists towards Shentu Jingming.

He was also somewhat relieved in his heart. If it weren’t for his remarkable Blue Flame Gourd and Peculiar Fire, he might have been suppressed by Shentu Jingming in this match.

“Brother Shouye, you’re extraordinary~~”
