"Sword Saint Ye!"

At this moment, Li Xiangyun, who was at her wit's end, truly felt as if she had heard a heavenly sound.

Whish whish~

Dozens of silken threads whipped through the air like long whips. One-quarter of them aimed at Ye Qingzhou to stop his advance, while the remaining three-quarters transformed into sharp spears, stabbing towards Li Xiangyun, intending to put her in the dead land.

The fierce gang wind roared forth, and Li Xiangyun had no time to react before a dazzling golden sunlight illuminated the sky.

Ye Qingzhou wielded a technologically advanced great sword, an integral combat component of the Kaiyang Martial Poem Armor— the Celestial Yang Sword!

This sword is a fusion of artifact refining and technology, able to unleash a power far beyond its own material strength. In terms of destructive force, it even surpasses many divine weapons.

Scz~

The Celestial Yang Sword emitted a high temperature of tens of millions of degrees, and the brilliant sword light descended like a great sun from the sky. The silken threads bursting forth instantly dissolved and vaporized like spring snow.

With just one move, Ye Qingzhou dismantled the opponent's offensive and shielded Li Xiangyun. He then asked, "What's the situation now?"

He had just been shopping with Xu Yuebing and Xu Yunxi, and while they were only halfway through their afternoon tea, they received a distress signal and had to come to assist.

"The situation is bad. Lin Dao and Wang Ming are respectively entangled by Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant from India, unable to free themselves."

Li Xiangyun finished speaking and then looked grimly at the demolished border city beneath her feet: "This time, at least three thousand people have been killed or injured. The army is evacuating civilians. We must stop this monster in front of us from expanding its nest any further."

While the two were conversing, an unexpected mutation occurred.

Splut~ splut~

Under the giant cocoon, from the ruins of the buildings, many human-sized cocoons were hidden. Now, the monsters incubating in these cocoons began to break out.

From the cocoons that first shattered emerged a gray humanoid arthropod. They were over two and a half meters tall, with the compound eyes and scaly wings of a moth. Each flap released a large amount of toxic dust.

Furthermore, their six limbs grew sharp bone spikes like swords, akin to soldiers wielding weapons, with physical strength comparable to professional martial artists.

The key issue is the sheer number, dense and numbering in the thousands.

Gray Moth Sharp Troops!

A battle legion mass-produced using genetic evolution technology by the Kun Race's Emperor Realm Powerhouse, the Insect Mother, possessing hive consciousness capable of swarm warfare, fearless and turning into a nightmare for their enemies on the battlefield.

In the cocoons that shattered next, pure white humanoid arthropods were incubated. They stood over four meters tall, with six limbs even thicker and stronger than the Gray Moth Sharp Troops. Their bodies were covered in a layer of bony armor, greatly enhancing their defense, and their life strength even reaching master level!

But they were few in number, only forty-nine.

White Moth Armor Warriors!

Finally, seven golden cocoons, much larger than ordinary ones, exploded with a loud bang. The viscous juices dripping down immediately showed terrifying corrosiveness, sizzling and corroding the surface.

Powerful life pulsations emitted sound like drums, and this vibration gradually resonated with the earth vein, causing Earth Evil Qi to surge.

Massive creatures with a wingspan of ten meters suddenly appeared before Ye Qingzhou and Li Xiangyun, emitting grandmaster peak aura, with bodies shimmering in gold as if coated with a layer of gold.

Golden Moth Flying Generals!

They not only possessed incredibly agile and quick speeds but also had enhanced defense to the extreme.

"Three Feet Golden Body, Vajra Indestructible!"

Li Xiangyun felt enormous pressure. The defensive capability of the Three Feet Golden Body was akin to a hard turtle shell. Even a Seven Realms Martial Saint finding it challenging to break it would have to exert considerable effort.

Clearly, the enemy intends to use a delaying tactic to create a favorable situation for their incubation.

Ye Qingzhou activated the Celestial Eye and immediately discerned that these insect soldiers and generals were all local residents of Yongping City, transformed into a new life form through special genetic modification.

"The hostages have all been converted, and there is no possible rescue."

Boom~ boom boom~

The giant cocoon suspended in the air emitted heartbeats like drumbeats, while the insect swarm quickly responded, producing dense, high-frequency sonic waves, similar to scraping steel knives against glass, piercing the ear.

"You're too noisy."

Ye Qingzhou raised his sword in front, gathering energy briefly before suddenly swinging forward.

Celestial Tier Martial Technique carried by the Kaiyang Martial Poem Armor, Celestial Spirit Fierce Sun Slash!

The Celestial Yang Sword summoned gang flame, and the sword wind it slashed was like a miniature solar wind, with high-energy rays sweeping through thousands of enemy soldiers, reducing the insect swarm pressing ahead by one-tenth in just one hit.

However, heedless of their lives, the insect soldiers, under the leadership of the seven Golden Moth Flying Generals, split into seven groups, launching attacks from all directions, forming an encirclement tactic against Ye Qingzhou and Li Xiangyun.

"Hmm? They actually know how to use military tactics?"

Ye Qingzhou activated the Celestial Eye, then performed deductions using Xiangshu Thinking, quickly uncovering the secret of the insect army before him: "Hive consciousness, swarm warfare—there is indeed a semblance of the Military Family's strategy of gathering forces. It seems like the Yellow Emperor's True Words Nine-Character Seal was likely derived from Kun Race's divine techniques."

For Ye Qingzhou, well-versed in "Nine Dragons Emperor Map" and "Qimen Dunjia", the opponent's tactics were not unfamiliar, and in fact, he was quite well-versed in it.

"I can handle military tactics too."
