Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 370 : Who Gave You Permission to Act on Your Own...!

Chapter 370 - Who Gave You Permission to Act on Your Own...!

Ning Yechen put on his clothes, walked out of the room, and arrived in the courtyard.

The courtyard was already covered with the corpses of rats and rat-men. Yue Qingyou stood amidst the countless rat corpses, illuminated by the moonlight, her hand clutching a rat-man that was struggling painfully and desperately.

"Demon Lord."

"My deepest apologies for letting these damned insects disturb the rest of you, the Madam, and the child."

"I will now eliminate all the rats, leaving not a single one!"

After seeing Ning Yechen come out, Yue Qingyou, without hesitation, lightly crushed the rat-man in her hand, head and all, and bowed slightly to atone for her offense.

An endless chill was revealed in her beautiful eyes!

To have let damned rats slip into the Demon Lord's and the Madam's room while she was on guard, disturbing their rest! This was a dereliction of her duty as a personal handmaiden!

And for these insects who didn't know life from death to dare disturb the Demon Lord and the Madam, it was an absolutely unforgivable capital crime!

"'No need. This Lord will handle it~'"

Ning Yechen did not let Yue Qingyou take responsibility for cleaning up the rats, but chose to do it himself. Compared to Yue Qingyou making a move, it would be a little faster if he did it himself!

The moment Ning Yechen's voice fell, a buzzing, rustling sound suddenly came from the shadow at his feet!

Countless Spirit-Devouring Bugs poured out from the shadow like a tide, spreading throughout Tongjun City and the Southern Clan Alliance's camp!

Countless rats were instantly submerged by the Spirit-Devouring Bugs, not even a single bone left behind!

When it comes to the speed and ability of devouring, no creature in this world can compare to the Spirit-Devouring Bugs! The swarm of rats, busy gnawing on corpses, never expected that one day it would be their turn to be devoured. And that what devoured them would be a swarm of insects!

Most of the people in the Beast Realm didn't seem to recognize the Spirit-Devouring Bugs. Seeing the countless, dense insects devouring the rats while continuously and rapidly advancing, they were too scared to move.

Fortunately, the target of these Spirit-Devouring Bugs was only the rats. They didn't even give the beast-people a second glance, crawling right past them or over their bodies.

When Ning Yechen released the Spirit-Devouring Bugs, the order he gave them was to devour all the rats. So as long as they were not proactively provoked, these Spirit-Devouring Bugs would not take the initiative to devour others.

The Rat Demon Clan also quickly discovered that the situation was completely wrong. The army of several hundred thousand rats they had sent to the surface was perishing at an extremely fast rate! From the feedback coming from the rats, it seemed some terrifying thing was making them feel fear.

The Rat Demon King, Shu Yi, who was hiding deep underground, was instantly filled with uncontrollable rage upon learning that some unknown insects had appeared on the surface and were devouring his clansmen.

"In the Beast Realm, it has only ever been my Rat Demon Clan that devours others!"

"Mere little insects, watch as my children eat them all!"

After speaking, Shu Yi once again raised the long flute in his hand and blew a melodious tune.

The swarm of rats, which had been scattering in terror underground, heard the flute's sound, instantly stopped, their eyes grew even more crimson and bloodthirsty, their expressions more frenzied, and a beastly aura permeated their bodies!

All the rats turned their heads again, gathered together, and charged towards the surface.

"Go, go~ my children~"

"Eat everything you see clean~!"

Shu Yi, holding the long flute, danced with joy deep underground.

In his cave were also countless female rats, each with a large belly, continuously dropping one rat after another from between their legs. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The moment these rat pups were born, upon hearing Shu Yi's flute and inhaling the beastly aura he emitted, they immediately grew strong at an astonishing speed.

Fur covered their entire bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye, their bodies expanded rapidly, and in a short while, they transformed into fat, fierce rats and charged out of the cave.

He was the bloodline successor of the ancient Moon-Devouring Rat! As long as his seed was planted within their bodies, he could continuously make the female rats of his clan pregnant, and each litter would produce at least nearly a hundred pups!

The newborn pups would grow rapidly upon smelling his beastly aura, knowing nothing, only dominated by endless hunger, and at this time, the rat demons were often at their strongest!

His children could even gnaw everything to nothing!

Shu Yi controlled the countless rats on the surface with his flute, forming a spectacular scene like a waterfall or a tsunami that raged through Tongjun City. Countless rats even piled up to form the shape of Shu Yi, gazing at the people in the city.

"Squeak squeak squeak~ All of you will become food for my lovely children~!"

"It really is the Rat Demon King, Shu Yi!"

"Everyone, attack!"

Hu Shan's group, seeing the swarm of rats form the shape of Shu Yi, immediately cast spells and blasted the massive rat army.

In an instant, huge swathes of rat corpses fell from the sky like raindrops. But the blasted-apart Shu Yi form, in just a moment, was swarmed by countless more rats, which re-condensed and restored its original appearance!

"It's useless~"

"My children are endless~!"

Just as Shu Yi was clamoring with great smugness, countless Spirit-Devouring Bugs were already surging towards his rat swarm!

"So it's these little insects...!"

"Go! My children!"

"Eat all of them!"

Shu Yi waved his large hand and roared hoarsely. The countless rats at his feet immediately formed a tsunami that blotted out the sky and pounced on the Spirit-Devouring Bugs.

Hu Shan's group, seeing this, had no choice but to quickly move aside to avoid the great rat army.

The Spirit-Devouring Bugs, however, did not dodge at all. Instead, they also formed a tsunami that towered to the heavens and crashed head-on into the rat swarm.

In that instant, in mid-air, the countless rats and Spirit-Devouring Bugs were like two ocean waves crashing together. The two sides mixed, continuously biting and gnawing at each other!

But in just a single clash, the previously imposing rat swarm was devoured and covered by the Spirit-Devouring Bugs.

Not even the rats that wanted to escape were spared!

Hu Shan's group was completely stunned as they watched from the side.

Wh-What on earth are these insects? So terrifying…!

From every single insect, he could sense a cultivation that surpassed his own…! And there were hundreds of millions of these insects before them…!

"H-How is this possible!"

"M-My children…!"

Shu Yi was incomparably terrified to see his great rat army devoured in an instant. The next second, countless Spirit-Devouring Bugs climbed onto the beast form he had condensed from his rat army and, in the blink of an eye, devoured it as well!

The Spirit-Devouring Bugs, still not satisfied after eating, all followed the holes and crevices dug by the rats and burrowed underground!

Shu Yi, hiding in his cave deep underground, saw this and turned pale with fright.

He called for the other remaining rats to resist the Spirit-Devouring Bugs, while he seized the time to pack his things and prepare to escape.

In any case, as long as he was alive, the Rat Demon Clan could never be annihilated! In just a few days, he could once again give birth to countless children and return for revenge!

Just as Shu Yi was preparing to leave the cave, a figure slowly walked in…

"Who gave you permission to act on your own...!”
