Zeluge, What Are You Doing, Zeluge?

Hearing Zeluge take the initiative to speak to her, Fein was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Yes, it's probably because the civilization around here has already been wiped out by us."

When Female-Like Individual unleash their abilities, it's almost instinctive. At this stage of incubation, Fein doesn't need to do much. So, after maintaining the incubation of the larvae, Fein simply started chatting with Zeluge.

"Fein, throughout my long life, I've gradually Consciousness something."

Zeluge looked at Fein with deep affection and said to her, "Loneliness makes people strong, but even we Shepherds cannot bear loneliness forever. Fein, I'm so happy to have met you."

"Zeluge..."

Seemingly Consciousness what the other person was about to say, Fein turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.

What exactly are you trying to say to me?

What I wanted to say was...

Zeluge's voice suddenly stopped.

Fein waited a few seconds, and seeing that Zeluge had not spoken yet, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

It quickly turned its head, only to be met with a horrifying sight.

Zeluge's spiked body stood before him, but its head was gone, and dissipated energy flowed continuously from the wound on its neck.

But Fein had no idea who had done this, and it felt a chill run down its spine.

"It's wonderful that Toynbee died here first."

A voice suddenly rang out from Zeluge's direction.

"I don't need to kill it myself... Fein, you go too."

Fein's eyes darted around quickly, and finally, behind Zeluge, she spotted a figure that was incredibly small to her.

The tiny white figure held a Divine Sword smaller than a hair in its hand and was slowly wiping the blade on its other arm.

He looked at Fein. Although judging from his size, Fein could kill him with a breath, Fein sensed an aura of authority emanating from him.

And then there's the murderous aura.

Without saying much, Bai Qiuran directly raised his Divine Sword and unleashed a move. "Green Mountains, Snowy Pines, and Daylight Break Open; Surging Sword River Descends from Heaven."

A Heavenly River of Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, as if another Void River had appeared in the Void. Then, this Heavenly River of Sword Qi energy transformed into countless sharp Sword Qi, which flew towards Fein's direction.

Fein wanted to dodge, but as Female-Like Individual, its combat experience was almost the worst in the tribe. During the Hunting Ritual, the other tribesmen were also protecting it. Therefore, even if it wanted to avoid it, it was paralyzed with fear and could not move for a moment.

However, at that moment, Zeluge's headless corpse suddenly moved. It grabbed Fein, pressed Fein down, and used its back to shield Fein.

At the same time, the spikes on its body rapidly changed, connecting together to form a hard suit of armor.

"Zeluge!"

Beneath Zeluge's headless corpse, Fein heard the sound of countless Sword Qi piercing its armor. Weakly, she cried out, "Zeluge, what are you doing, Zeluge?"

It tried to push it, but Zeluge was, after all, Shepherds of the martial arts faction, and it couldn't budge it.

Countless sharp Sword Qi pierced through its armor, riddling its flesh with holes. Suddenly, Zeluge sprang up, and its shattered armor transformed back into spikes, scattering in all directions.

The Sword Qi finally stopped, Zeluge slid helplessly off Fein's body, lying face down in the Void with a strange pose of pointing one finger forward—he was truly dead this time.

"Ze--Lu--Ge--"

Tears welled in Fein's eyes. She stood up and looked around with furious eyes, searching for the murderer.

"The Tribal King is right; you really should take better care of yourself."

Bai Qiuran's spontaneous birth caused Fein to look in his direction.

"When Zeluge risked his life to block my sword for you, you should have just turned and run."

As he spoke, Bai Qiuran flicked his wrist, and a sword flower bloomed. When Fein saw Bai Qiuran's figure, a dazzling Sword Light also appeared.

Sword Extremity Amid Vast Mist and Waves, I recognize my hometown as the dawn birds fly by.

The Sword Qi surged forth like smoke and dust, tearing Fein's skin to shreds. Then, a fiery white bird appeared, crying out in the Void. With its Wings folded, it pierced through Fein's chest at incredible speed, creating a large hole in her chest.

"As someone responsible for the propagation of the race, you don't seem to have that much combat experience and Consciousness."

Bai Qiuran severed its head with a single sword strike, capturing its Souls along with Souls of Zeluge.

"You have immense strength, but you can't use it. You're just a target. I'm incredibly lucky to have caught you here."

He collected the Souls of the two Shepherds and then came before Toynbee and Shule, carefully examining the two flowers blooming on them.

The Souls of Toynbee and Shule have vanished; the Light Filaments, this "Essence" power, have also decomposed their souls, forming the Souls of the newborn Shepherds gestating within those two flower buds.

Bai Qiuran a moment, then drew his sword and cut off the two flowers, carefully taking out the Souls inside and putting them away. Then he casually crushed the two flowers made of Essence.

"That means we're four fewer Shepherds."

He whispered, "Eight left..."

He touched his sleeve. During the battle, he had Tang Ruowei take Wisdom Immortal into the space he had opened in his sleeve. Bai Qiuran about to take out his silly disciple, but suddenly stopped.

He stood there for two seconds, then suddenly drew his sword, turned around, and unleashed a massive Sword Qi behind him.

"Get out here!"

The Sword Qi formed a white crescent moon, directly splitting a piece of world debris in front of Bai Qiuran in two. Behind the world debris, two sharp beams suddenly appeared in the empty Void, crossing to meet the Sword Qi.

With a loud bang, a massive shockwave appeared, and the Sword Qi energy exploded, engulfing a nearby Void in the turbulent flow of Sword Qi. In that Void, a giant Mantis Person emerged from its transparent state and stumbled back two steps.

The blades connected to its two forelimbs were cleaved open by the Sword Qi, creating a huge gap. Upon seeing this, the Mantis Person Shepherds did not hesitate. It unfurled a pair of huge insect wings from its back and turned to run away.

"Stop right there!"

Bai Qiuran abandoned the idea of taking out Tang Ruowei and Wisdom Immortal at this moment. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and chased after the Mantis Person.
