“Buzzing...”

A massive swarm of biting ants and fire refining insects surged like a black cloud, instantly enveloping Feng Cheng and Hua Sheng, shrouding them within it in an instant.

“What the hell is this?”

Both Feng Cheng and Hua Sheng wore expressions of shock. Although the biting ants and fire refining insects had yet to launch an attack on them, the sheer density of the swarm sent chills down their spines, raising the hairs all over their bodies.

“Destroy it!”

The two yelled in fury, launching frenzied attacks to try and disperse the swarm.

However, a shocking scene occurred. When their attacks landed among the swarm, the countless insects only hesitated slightly before rushing back with even more ferocity, not a single insect was killed.

“How is this possible?”

Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Feng Cheng and Hua Sheng were no ordinary figures; one was the head of the Feng family from the imperial city, and the other was the deputy leader of the prestigious Liuxian Sect in Xuan Prefecture. Their strength was top-tier among the initial stage Martial Venerables, capable of obliterating even a mountain with a single blow.

Yet now, even with their combined efforts, not a single insect among the countless swarm had perished. What kind of blood-sucking insects were these?

It was known that even a Sixth-Order blood beast might not withstand the full power of their strikes unscathed.

The guests around were shocked, while Feng Cheng and Hua Sheng were filled with terror. Crack! After one strike, the swarm remained unharmed, instantly wrapping around the two. They soon discovered, to their horror, that the protective energy surrounding their bodies was being devoured at a rapid pace.

“No!”

Both were filled with immense fear. At that moment, their bloodline powers and various secret techniques were unleashed without concealment, even erupting with a force more terrifying than when facing Qin Chen.

But it was useless. After evolving in the black dead swamp, the biting ants and fire refining insects had become significantly stronger. Besides a few that were slightly harmed by the two's attacks, the rest of the insects swiftly enveloped them.

“Ah!”

A piercing scream erupted within the Feng family mansion. Everyone watched the scene in shock, feeling chills run down their spines, consumed by fear.

What did it feel like to be eaten alive by countless insects? Just the thought of it filled everyone with horror.

“Ancestor, save me!”

Amidst the swarm, Feng Cheng shrieked in agony.

“Boom!”

Feng Yuan, witnessing this scene, changed countenance and rushed towards Feng Cheng.

Too many had already died in the Feng family. If even the head of the family, Feng Cheng, fell here, it would be a catastrophic blow to the Feng family.

“Dare to save someone in front of me?”

Qin Chen sneered. The moment Feng Yuan acted, the peak Sixth-Order spiritual energy in his mind surged forth.

Spiritual Storm!

“Buzz!”

An invisible force of spiritual power transformed into a sharp arrow, piercing into Feng Yuan's mind.

“Not good!”

Feng Yuan was alarmed. Ignoring rescuing Feng Cheng, he roared, and the power of his bloodline erupted, attempting to resist Qin Chen's spiritual attack.

But it was futile.

How terrifying was Qin Chen's spiritual attack? The instant the spiritual storm entered Feng Yuan's mind, it shattered his mental defenses, causing his once fierce eyes to become dull and lifeless.

“What an opportunity!”

Qin Chen, like a phantom, appeared before Feng Yuan in an instant, slashing down with a sword.

“Break for me!”

Feng Yuan, being a seasoned Sixth-Order peak Martial Venerable, had an array of defensive techniques. In the moment Qin Chen's spiritual attack struck, he reacted immediately, deploying a secret technique. He only lost awareness for the briefest of moments before snapping back to reality.

But in expert duels, even the smallest lapse was enough.

“Puff!” With a furious roar, a long wound appeared on Feng Yuan's body, almost a foot long, flesh torn, an astonishing destructive sword intent surged into Feng Yuan's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and he was sent flying in a disheveled state.
