Flying Sword atop, Xiong Kang raced across the sky like a meteor.
At this speed, Lu Zixun was thinking that next time, he should attach a couple of LED lights to the blade of Xiong Kang’s Flying Sword.
That way, as it dashed across the sky, it would shine brightly, and people might even make wishes upon it.
In less than three minutes, they arrived over Lin Ye Pier.
There, they could hear rustling sounds coming from Lin Ye Pier, which should have been quiet.
The sound was so loud that Lu Zixun, high in the sky, could hear it.
Xiong Kang frowned as he looked down at the darkness of Lin Ye Pier, "The Insect Clan is all out; what the hell are the surveillance personnel doing!"
But now wasn’t the time to pursue the surveillance personnel’s responsibility. Xiong Kang took a deep breath and looked toward the pier.
The bulky tunneling insects were slowly moving forward.
A closer look revealed a strange-looking insect beneath the body of the tunneling insect, lifting it with its pincers and laboring to move forward.
The rustling sound was coming from these insects as they moved.
Lu Zixun had never seen such a member of the Insect Clan before; he looked up at Xiong Kang in confusion, only to find him looking back with the same bemused expression.
He lifted a claw to his face,
Welp, neither of us recognizes them.
"I think I can kill this tunneling insect."
Standing on his Longsword and observing for a while, Lu Zixun suddenly announced with certainty.
"Ding—Surprise value from Xiong Kang +10000."
Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun with an incredulous face, raising an eyebrow, "Are you sure? How confident are you?"
"Completely confident."
Lu Zixun said flatly and then changed the subject, "Of course, this full confidence is under the premise that there are no other hindrances."
Defending the tunneling insect were certainly not just the high-level insects around; there must be many Queen-level Insect Race members hiding nearby.
As for why Lu Zixun was so confident, it was because he had just activated Heavenly Eye and took a glance at the tunneling insect.
"Ding—The creature in front of the host is called a tunneling insect. Its unique body structure makes it an indispensable transportation tool for the Insect Clan."
"Trains can only run on the ground, planes can only fly in the sky, and tunneling insects can only move underground; for this reason, tunneling insects, which live deep underground, are particularly fearful of extreme cold and water."
"Warm reminder, tunneling insects have a very strong escape ability. The host should ensure a one-strike kill before acting, otherwise the host will face an Insect Tide brought back by the tunneling insect."
A one-strike kill was definitely achievable.
For an insect that barely reached the C level, if Lu Zixun couldn’t kill it, that would be embarrassingly shameful.
Xiong Kang watched Lu Zixun’s expression, which didn’t seem like a lie.
Xiong Kang pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Okay, tell me what to do, and if it really doesn’t work out, we just run."
Taking out a Mini Tracker and having put on his nano armor, Xiong Kang was ready for battle.
While Lu Zixun took out the Invisibility Cloak, which had already proven its worth, from the System Backpack.
He then tapped the chip, and the nano armor covered him.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
There was a built-in communicator in the nano armor, and Lu Zixun was now checking the microphone.
"Yes, what’s the plan?"
Xiong Kang responded and inquired.
Activating Magnetic Field Control, Lu Zixun slowly descended toward the ground.
At the same time, he whispered, "Around the tunneling insect, there must be Queen-level bugs. Just attract the attention of those Queen-level insects, block the Spiritual Energy Fluctuations for me, and I’ll take care of the tunneling insect."
Slowly landing on the ground and using his rapid movement, he started weaving through the Insect Clan.
Without alerting the Insect Clan, Lu Zixun made his way near the heart of the tunneling insect.
As soon as the words were out, Xiong Kang stopped concealing his Spiritual Energy Fluctuations.
Seven Flying Swords, transformed into a fan of swords, hovered behind Xiong Kang.
With an unstoppable momentum, Xiong Kang stepped onto the Mother-Child Long Sword and lunged toward the tunneling insect.
Looking at the tunneling insect, which seemed completely unfazed, Lu Zixun’s eyes gradually became profound.
He was sure there was a Queen-level Insect Race escorting this tunneling insect.
Sure enough, the moment Xiong Kang’s Sword One struck, a large net constructed of blood threads intercepted all the Flying Swords, and Ye Xun’s figure appeared atop the Lin Ye Pier’s streetlight.
Looking up at Xiong Kang, Ye Xun shook his head in disdain and said, "Brute."
"Ten Directions, Falling Slash."
As his gaze settled on Ye Xun, Xiong Kang slowly uttered four words.
The Flying Swords, controlled by the blood net, began to emit countless sharp Sword Qi.
Violently breaking through the blood net, they ferociously slashed at Ye Xun’s position from the air.
A massive Cross Slash appeared in the sky, bearing a vicious killing intent, and swung down toward Ye Xun.
The ominous aura of death emanating from the Cross Slash caused Ye Xun’s pupils to contract.
His eyes turned to a certain shadow, "Aren’t you going to make a move?"
With a cold snort, Mingfei stepped out from the shadows.
Thousands of the Insect Clan on the ground burst apart, their blood converging into a dragon of blood that appeared in front of Mingfei.
She raised her delicate hand to point at the Cross Slash, and the blood dragon opened its mouth to the sky in a silent roar, colliding with the Cross Slash.
The sound, like thunderclaps, echoed endlessly around Lin Ye Pier.
The head of the blood dragon was sheared off by the Cross Slash, which then disappeared without a trace.
The headless blood dragon fell powerlessly to the ground, its blood spraying in all directions.
With a somewhat pale face, Mingfei stood side by side with Ye Xun, seriously saying, "This man cannot be spared, Gai Yue!"
As soon as she spoke, Xiong Kang felt a cold murderous intent behind him, and his pupils contracted as he fiercely stepped down on the Mother-Child Longsword.
The sub-sword instantly flew upward, striking fiercely at the sneak-attacking Gai Yue.
Facing the sub-sword’s ferocious attack, Gai Yue’s body made an astonishing arc in the air to dodge.
Avoiding the attack of the sub-sword, he thrust the Blood Piercing spear into Xiong Kang’s body.
Xiong Kang, with a Blood Piercing spear through his chest, revealed a look of relief in his eyes; had he not reacted swiftly, the Blood Piercing would have gone through his heart, not just his chest.
Glancing at the tunneling insect, Xiong Kang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Zixun hadn’t made his move yet; certainly, something unexpected had occurred, and he needed to keep stalling for time.
The reason Lu Zixun hadn’t moved was that these members of the Insect Clan had ignored the tunneling insect completely while confronting Xiong Kang.
It is well-known that in addition to Xiong Kang and Wang Duli, Lingchuan City’s sto had another, Lu Zixun.
Even now, as Lu Zixun was in a weakened state, there was still Wang Duli.
His eyes continuously swept around the tunneling insect, and Lu Zixun had an intuition.
Another Queen-level Insect Race was stubbornly protecting the tunneling insect.
Looking up at the sky, at Xiong Kang struggling against three Queen-level insects, and the tunneling insect about to enter the mountainside.
Lu Zixun, desperate, suddenly had an idea.
