Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 444: The Place of Burial

"Let's see if you can slaughter them before I slay you!"

Xiao Yi gave relentless chase, the distance between him and Lin Xu growing ever closer.

Feeling the icy edge of a sword behind him, Lin Xu's body chilled, and he glanced back from the corner of his eye. He saw Xiao Yi, surrounded by Sword Qi, cutting through the God Devouring Ants with such force that their bodies burst apart, exploding into the sky.

Like a black storm, wherever he passed, the strewn bodies of God Devouring Ants lay in his wake.

As he watched the God Devouring Ants, which had devoured every living creature in the Gu Family Fort to grow stronger, being slaughtered in droves by Xiao Yi, Lin Xu's heart bled.

His eyes, now bloodshot, shone red as rubies, and through gritted teeth, he said, "Xiao Yi, you and I are irreconcilable!"

These God Devouring Ants were creatures he had nurtured with great effort and hardship.

He had thought that the God Devouring Ants were an invincible army, capable of sweeping through the Great Qian Dynasty.

But now...

Xiao Yi had appeared unexpectedly along the way.

What was worse, Xiao Yi seemed to be immune to the ants' attacks, something Lin Xu had not anticipated. The God Devouring Ants carried a toxin within them, so that even a Dharma Manifestation Realm expert would lose their combat ability when swarmed and bitten by countless ants.

Xiao Yi seemed to be immune to the toxin of the God Devouring Ants.

His Sword techniques were also extremely sharp, capable of easily penetrating the tough outer shells of the God Devouring Ants.

What was supposed to be an invincible army of God Devouring Ants, seemed virtually ineffective before Xiao Yi, Lin Xu fled desperately for his life, "This man must not be spared, he will become a huge obstacle for my God Devouring Ant army as it sweeps across the Great Qian Dynasty. These ants are just newly hatched and not in their full form. If I can lure Xiao Yi into the den where I have been accumulating my army, I refuse to believe millions of fully-formed God Devouring Ants can't deal with him!"

With that thought,

Lin Xu looked back at Xiao Yi, his eyes filled with madness, "Xiao Yi, if you dare, keep chasing me! If you cannot kill me today, I will make sure to slaughter every living being in the Great Qian Dynasty tomorrow…"

Whoosh!

Lin Xu suddenly increased his speed.

A village suddenly appeared before them.

In the village, smoke rose from the chimneys, the elderly had support and the youth had care; it was a blissful haven resembling the Peach Blossom Spring.

At the entrance of the village, several naive and innocent children were playing, squatting in front of an anthill, watching as the ants moved food in organized groups.

Lin Xu's eyes gleamed as he sneered menacingly, "Watch closely, Xiao Yi, these people will die because of you!"

"You dare!"

Xiao Yi was furious, having guessed Lin Xu's intention.

He was planning to attack the people of this village!

Xiao Yi was filled with a desire to kill as he looked at the playing children and the cheerful villagers.

However...

Lin Xu let out a sinister laugh and violently swung his dragon-headed cane.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The swarms of God Devouring Ants surged out, rushing toward the small village.

The countless ants moved in unison like a black tide, their movement catching the attention of the children at the village entrance, who looked up at the approaching dark wave of ants.

"Wow, so many ants!"

"These ants are so big, are they moving house too?"

The children watched innocently, not frightened but instead, they moved closer to the swarm of God Devouring Ants.

"Get away... get away from them…" Xiao Yi's eyes were split with fury as he tried to move forward but was blocked by the ants; he could only watch in powerlessness as the children drew closer to the swarm, unable to help.

Powerlessness and despair filled his heart.

Xiao Yi could only scream hysterically, to no avail.

One of the children's fingers made contact with the first God Devouring Ant.

The seemingly stupid little creatures instantly turned into bloodthirsty demons, biting the child's finger.

"Ah…"

The small boy with braided pigtails cried out in shock, and though he tried to pull his hand back it was too late – countless ants fell upon them. In just the blink of an eye, the children were devoured until nothing remained of them, not even a bone fragment.

Boom boom boom!

The swarms of God Devouring Ants poured crazily into the village.

At that moment,

Desperate screams echoed throughout the village, "Help..."

"What kind of monsters are these? Don't eat my child, come at me…"

"You beasts, my wife is five months pregnant, let her go…"

"No…"

Heart-wrenching screams continuously emanated from the village.

Xiao Yi felt as if a huge stone was lodged in his chest, completely unable to breathe.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Through his blood-red vision...

The entire village was reduced to silence in an instant under the attack of the God Devouring Ants.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yi, this is what happens when you oppose me!"

Lin Xu threw back his head and howled with laughter, pointing his dragon-headed cane ahead, and blue energy gathered towards the cane from the God Devouring Ants that had devoured the villagers. The whole cane was shrouded in blue light, and the head of the dragon on the cane suddenly opened its mouth.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

One after another, God Devouring Ants appeared around Lin Xu.

Five hundred.

One thousand.

Five thousand...

In a moment, more than fifty thousand new-born God Devouring Ants appeared around Lin Xu.

Devouring a single life, they could reproduce ten God Devouring Ants.

In just that instant...

This swarm of God Devouring Ants had devoured more than five thousand innocent souls!

Lin Xu said with immense satisfaction, "Xiao Yi, you can't possibly catch up to me, nor can you possibly eradicate my God Devouring Ant army. Didn't you say that for every person I kill from the Great Qian Dynasty, you would destroy one of my cities? Hahaha, I have already killed more than five thousand people now, what can you do to me?"

"Lin Xu, fuck your ancestors..." Xiao Yi's neck veins bulged violently, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning deathly white.

Lin Xu leaned forward slightly, carelessly cleaning his ear, and said with a grim smile, "If you can, keep chasing me! Hahaha, whether or not you continue to pursue me, as punishment for offending me, my God Devouring Ant army will completely devour everything in their path, showing no mercy..."

"You dare?"

Xiao Yi shuddered all over.

If he let Lin Xu do as he pleased, the citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty across the entire glacier would surely be almost completely wiped out!

"What wouldn't I dare?"

Lin Xu's face twisted viciously, and the centipede-like scars across his face quivered as a gold-colored God Devouring Ant, roughly the size of a watermelon, slowly crawled out from within the dragon-headed cane.

It went straight for the top of Lin Xu's head.

As soon as this God Devouring Ant appeared, all the surrounding ants bowed their heads in deference.

This was the God Devouring Ant Queen!

Lin Xu pointed at the queen, proudly saying, "With it around, my God Devouring Ant legion is invincible. You want to stop me from destroying the Great Qian Dynasty? Open your eyes wide and watch as countless innocent lives will be sacrificed along my path because of you, hahaha..."

As soon as his voice fell.

Lin Xu abruptly slapped the golden God Devouring Ant Queen on his head.

The Ant Queen immediately let out a sharp squeal.

Lin Xu leapt into the air and fled, while Xiao Yi, grinding his teeth in rage, had no choice but to stiffen his resolve and continue the pursuit.

The chase went on.

Lin Xu kept using the God Devouring Ants to block Xiao Yi's pursuit, and as he went through villages on the way, he would immediately unleash his God Devouring Ant legion to devour all life within. Xiao Yi chased for thousands of miles, and along Lin Xu's path of slaughter, fifteen villages had been destroyed...

The number of innocent villagers involved had nearly reached thirty thousand.

Xiao Yi's eyes had long turned blood red with killing intent.

He had slashed his way through over a million God Devouring Ants, and as he watched Lin Xu enter a canyon ahead with his ants, he followed without hesitation.

However...

As soon as he stepped into the canyon, Lin Xu turned around slowly, his face twisted into a menacing smile as he looked towards him, "Xiao Yi, welcome to my stronghold..."

Lin Xu gradually spread his arms wide.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

All around the dark and deep canyon, on the rock walls, and from all directions came the sound of objects cutting through the air. From the dust, within the rock walls, and inside the boulders...

Countless black God Devouring Ants stealthily emerged.

The numbers were countless, amounting to millions!

Hiss!

Xiao Yi gasped in a cold breath, his scalp tingling.

He had only thought of killing Lin Xu to avenge those innocent people, but had been lured by Lin Xu into his lair where he stockpiled his vast God Devouring Ant army. His heart chilled; these were millions of God Devouring Ants!

And they were all mature, fully-formed God Devouring Ants!

Let alone him...

Even a peak master of the Nirvana Realm would have no chance of survival here!

Lin Xu sneered, "Xiao Yi, this is where you meet your end!"
