Almost instantly, the tide of battle was turned.
The swarms of insects on the street were almost completely wiped out by Li Su upon his arrival.
He slowly exhaled and used the Vajra Realm as a foothold to step onto it.
Flying is an ability of the Divine Power Realm. Although the Dao Arts Realm can remain airborne for a certain period of time, they cannot completely break free from the constraints of the earth.
I thought I had returned to a ghost town, but I never expected it to be an insect swarm attack.
But what the hell are these insects? They are completely different from the insectoid races I remember. Although they have very special organs, their overall structure is undoubtedly very similar to some kind of creature from my previous life that could make most women scream.
Yes, it's a cockroach, also known as a 'little strong'!
However, Li Su's eyes flickered slightly. He slowly turned his head and glanced at a place not far from him, about a kilometer away.
Something there... it keeps transmitting some kind of fluctuation.
His eyes flickered, then he turned his head to look in the direction of Country Garden. His parents lived there. Well, although they were affected, they were relatively safe; nothing bad had happened to them.
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally found someone on World Island, and when he heard the news, he was almost overjoyed.
He doesn't know how crazy he would go if something happened to his parents.
Looking down, she saw, "Senior sister, you're alright. Xiao Meng, yes, she's alright too."
good!
However, it's only partially destroyed.
The streets and neighborhoods I used to know so well have mostly collapsed.
Because of the power of Yin, Li Su could also detect the spirits of the dead. At this moment, a large number of resentful spirits were floating above the entire city.
Many of them looked somewhat familiar.
Some neighbors, some people I'd seen before—they're all dead.
Listening to the sounds around her, which sounded like knives scraping glass, Li Su's brain twitched uncontrollably, and the veins around her eyes bulged.
He wasn't angry.
After all, most of the people who died were strangers.
He'd explode if someone he cared about got hurt, but he wasn't as affected by strangers. He'd only get a little emotional when a lot of people died.
However, this is, after all, his hometown, with all the familiar sights and sounds, and most importantly, his parents are still alive here.
Looking at the shattered bodies of countless souls, how would I feel if this happened to my parents? How would I feel if it happened to my relatives and friends?
Looking down at the swarm of insects that was beginning to emerge again, Li Su's eyes began to redden.
He suddenly understood.
Insect Calamity are not only the enemy of humans, but also our own enemy; they are something that must be eradicated completely.
It's not simply their aggressive attitude towards people, but rather their overall situation.
These ants have no soul.
Indeed, countless souls have perished here, yet not a single cockroach's soul remains.
The group below is less a race and more a product of some kind of supernatural power, mass-produced because its true form harbors immense hatred for humans, which is why it attacks them so frantically, seeking to exterminate them.
Li Su is neither a saint nor a good person.
When friends come, we serve them fine wine; when enemies come, we must annihilate them completely, dig deep, skin them alive, refine their flesh and blood, and burn them to ashes.
Once she realized it was an enemy—an enemy that threatened her, her parents, and her relatives and friends— Li Su's mental state collapsed.
His eyes grew increasingly red, and his murderous intent intensified with age.
Standing tens of meters in the air, an incomparably domineering will began to manifest, and an extremely violent emotion was exploding.
A chill, an inexplicable chill, swept through Z City in an instant, affecting countless people.
Fang Jun couldn't help but start acting up, as if the shadows deep within his heart had been activated, and his will was on the verge of collapse.
Xue Dong had goosebumps all over his body at that moment; General Zhang's words from that day still lingered in his mind.
Ying Zhan was about suppressing one's cultivation level; Li Su was about absolute brutality.
" Xue Dong?"
A sound came through; it was from the headset.
"Exist!"
"This is Wu Mo. Immediately contact Li Su and have him search Z City for any swarm commanders lurking there. If they are, try to force them out. Killing them might be difficult, but we absolutely cannot allow them to continue acting erratically, understand?"
Commander Xue Dong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
By the way, the Zerg commander, they received this order on the first day, but unfortunately they were powerless to do it. They never Ying Zhan against the absolute strength of Zhang Shengying.
"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there!"
Xue Dong raised his head, feeling the chilling killing intent. A look of serious doubt appeared on his face. That person had already entered Tyrant mode. Could he even hear him? Would he cut him down as well?
At that moment, Li Su made her move!
He flashed and instantly appeared on the building his gaze had previously swept across.
With its emotions running high, the demonic seed was fully stimulated, directly capturing all fluctuations within a radius of several miles.
"Are you commanding an army, you idiot?"
Li Su's expression was cold. He revealed his Heart Blade, reached out and grabbed it. Instantly, the Daoist aura within the blade intensified, and Black Light White Thunder appeared.
He stabbed the building without hesitation.
Clang!
With a sharp screech, a fifteen-meter-wide blade of energy exploded out, piercing through the building with a single strike from Li Su, creating a crack approximately thirty meters wide and five meters high.
Chirp~!
A chilling sound rang out as a small, entirely black cockroach was cleaved out of the building by a terrifying blade of energy.
In an instant, all the drones in Z City carrying video recordings turned around and locked onto the black cockroach.
Found it!!!
Ying Zhan and the others' eyes lit up, and the Ministry of Military, administrative, and Ministry of Police personnel also showed excited expressions.
It really is in Z City...
The highest-ranking administrative official immediately shouted, "Send someone to inform that student to stall that black insect at all costs, and also have people prepare to go to Z City to kill this damned insect swarm commander."
Before the words were even finished, Li Su's figure flashed and appeared directly on the black cockroach that was letting out a shrill scream.
Heart Blade!
He raised his hand and slashed with his sword, striking the opponent's body directly.
Clang!
A sound like steel clashing rang out, but the black cockroach only suffered a slight scratch on its body and failed to cut through its opponent's body.
Li Su's eyes remained unchanged. She stepped on the black cockroach, and a few specks of golden light emanated from it, pulling its body in place. Then...
Knife! Knife! Knife!
The scene that sent chills down Fang Jun's spine played out again: Li Su cleaved the black cockroach into the ground from nearly a hundred meters in the air, one slash at a time.
Sizzle!
Fresh blood spurted out, completely different from what Fang Jun had done, cleaving through the opponent's armor.
"Not good!"
Many people were taken aback when they saw what the drone sent back.
Although the black insect is the commander of the insect swarm, it doesn't mean it's weak. In fact, the weak have no right to survive in the insect swarm. The fact that it can command so many insects undoubtedly shows that it is the strongest individual.
Clearly, for insect swarms, being injured will undoubtedly intensify their ferocity.
As expected, the black cockroach went berserk. The moment its body was torn apart, its limbs Twist in the opposite direction, with Daoist energy flowing over them, transforming into sharp blades capable of cutting through anything, and it slashed wildly at Li Su.
Each strike was almost equivalent to a full-force attack from a first-level Daoist master, amounting to thousands of strikes in an instant, aiming to reduce Li Su to ashes.
"Oops!"
Many people were alarmed; Li Su was too close, and the human's physique was clearly not as strong as the insect's.
Now, at close range, with so many attacks, there's no way to dodge or block them.
Someone grew impatient and couldn't help but shout, "What's wrong with this student? Why did he provoke that insect like that? Is he looking for death?"
Many people didn't say anything, but their faces showed the same expression as his.
Only the students of the Military University, especially some of the first and second-year students, showed expressions of nostalgia on their faces at this moment.
Clang!
With a loud bang, golden light appeared on Li Su's body. The black insect's leg was shaken off before it could even tremble and was slammed hard onto the ground.
As everyone knows, the Tyrant's defense is absolutely impenetrable at the same level, a fact that second-year Military University students are well aware of!
Li Su's eyes were blood red, surrounded by purple flames. The Vajra Realm was activated, and three thousand golden sands fell, instantly pressing down on the black cockroach. At the same time, the Demon Seed was activated, and a ripple appeared within a fifty-meter radius. Within the ripple was a mountain, not a rock, but a mountain.
boom!
With a deafening roar, a massive crater fifty meters in diameter was created, and the reinforced concrete ground collapsed like mud.
Heavy! Heavy! Heavy!
Incredibly heavy.
Even the black cockroach, possessing the strength of the Dao Arts Realm and immense power, felt an overwhelming pressure at this moment, and almost no part of its body could move.
Then, Li Su stretched out her hand, her fingertips touching the black cockroach, and unleashed her sword intent.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One sound after another, like someone being pinned to the guillotine and hacked down with a knife, the explosive sounds and shocking scenes made everyone in the command center bite their lower lip, their expressions as if they were watching a god.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
With each cut, the wound grew larger and the blood flowed more and more. The ferocious cockroach found itself unable to move at all. It cried out, calling for help.
Instantly, countless insects surged towards Li Su in a frenzy.
Um?
Li Su blinked, paused slightly, and looked at the endless army charging towards him. A smile appeared on his face—a very cruel smile.
" The Vajra Ring!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from between his brows, causing a sudden tremor.
Ouch!
A tremendous dragon roar exploded forth.
As we all know, while Dragon Roar was quite ineffective against the Thousand-Year Tree Demon, it was a different story when it came to living beings.
As the highest form of life, it naturally suppresses everything, especially reptiles like cockroaches.
In an instant, the swarm of insects that had rushed in like a tsunami froze, their lives taken away by the dragon's roar, and they collapsed to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.
Almost several thousand!
Li Su's eyes flashed, and flames erupted from her body, transforming into flying birds. The birds displayed Daoist principles, and with the infusion of Dharma energy, they instantly transformed into a large flock of thumb-sized Firebird that flew out, igniting anything they touched and instantly killing anyone who lit them.
Almost several thousand!
Taking a deep breath, Li Su's eyes flashed, and she instantly unleashed twenty slashes in the widest direction, where the insects were most numerous. The slashes swept across Liaokong area, almost hollowing out the street itself and shearing off three layers of the ground.
It's almost ten thousand!
With a slight thought, the demonic seed was activated once more, causing ripples to spread outwards. This time, it contained the Daoist energy of vibration, transforming into shockwaves that instantly shattered the swarm of insects that had been crashing down like ocean waves.
Thousands more!
Undoubtedly, its destructive power was enormous. Perhaps it couldn't compare to the pinnacle of Ying Zhan, or even to Zhang Shengying's silent chill, but the effect was absolutely explosive.
Of course, being able to Ying Zhan without fear and challenge Zhang Shengying means that the word "fear" doesn't exist in the insect's dictionary.
The swarm of insects gathered again, advancing relentlessly towards Li Su without the slightest hesitation.
Thus, one cycle of Vajra, one cycle of Heart Blade, one cycle of Demon Seed, and one cycle of Firebird.
Round after round, round after round.
As everyone knows, Li Su grows stronger the angrier he gets. When he beat Fang Jun, he never seemed to True Qi. Now, Dao Arts Realm...
In less than ten minutes, the insects' attack came to an abrupt halt. Of course, it wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that the thing Li Su was stepping on stopped making noise.
Li Su lowered her head, a violent look in her eyes, and raised her hand to slap him.
"Keep shouting!"
It was a truly bizarre scene, leaving almost everyone in stunned silence. Had the tyrannical ruler encountered an even more tyrannical one?
The black cockroach was furious; it had never been treated like this since it became intelligent.
It opened its mouth and emitted an extremely shrill sound, so loud that it cracked the surrounding walls and traveled far.
Of course, Li Su felt nothing and showed no reaction.
The sound barely stirred a tiny ripple in his Vajra Body Protection, barely noticeable to the naked eye.
Li Su looked at the other person, golden light appearing in his blood-red eyes. That was the Dao Exposition being activated, analyzing, and observing.
At the same time, its own demonic seed is also activated, using the fluctuations in the air to capture, frantically capturing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, an incredibly violent tremor rang out, the earth was ripped open, and three enormous insects crawled out from within.
It was incredibly ferocious, its aura terrifying, and its body flowed with Daoist energy.
It's a top-tier fighter!!!
It can also be described as Dao Arts Realm, and unlike commanders, these insects are the assault force within the swarm, true battlefield killers, with incredibly tough bodies, immense strength, and unimaginable speed.
Many people's expressions changed upon seeing it.
There are even fierce-looking insects down there?
Without a doubt, there are only three and a half people on this battlefield who can easily fight against them.
Ying Zhan, Zhang Shengying, Wu Mo, Zhang Zhuzhu, and Zhu Yutong —the first three can be killed instantly, and the latter two can be killed together.
The fierce-class insects launched an attack. They were incredibly fast, traveling at approximately 180 kilometers per second, and pounced towards Li Su.
Li Su was surprised. These three were no weaker than the one he was suppressing, and they could be ordered around?
He raised his head, without backing down, and glared at the other person with a fierce look.
He raised his hand, his Diamond Body Protection Divine Skill surrounding him, Vajra Realm Sand gathered on his fist. Facing the three charging beasts, he directly unleashed three punches into the air.
Three loud thuds!
The three fierce-class insects that charged forward collided directly with Li Su's power. Unlike ordinary insect soldiers, they were not killed immediately, but instead, for the first time, they managed to fight against Li Su.
They are very strong, much stronger than ordinary Daoist arts at the first level. Their bodies constantly emit Daoist energy, and enormous power overflows from them.
Beneath Li Su, the commander struggled, trying to join forces with the three elite warriors to kill Li Su.
Li Su's gaze narrowed slightly. Although the Diamond Body Protection Divine Skill of the Vajra Realm was several times stronger, its defensive power was obviously weak and its offensive power was insufficient.
There was no other way. When he came out of the World Fragment, all his supernatural powers were shattered, and he immediately rushed to the battlefield without having time to recover. So, fighting a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand mobs was no big deal, but fighting those of the same realm who were extremely powerful would be a bit troublesome.
Not only that, they've been fighting for almost half an hour now, and you have to understand, Li Su was very hungry.
He hasn't eaten anything since he came out. Putting aside his abilities, even supernatural powers are a huge drain on energy.
If he hadn't had the experience of being at the Bodhisattva level and understood how to use leverage to achieve great results, his internal energy would probably have been completely depleted long ago.
This is a bit annoying.
Li Su was very irritable. As he grew increasingly hungry, his eyes became redder and redder, and then began to gleam with a hint of green.
I'm almost losing my temper and want to just open the Buddha Land.
Yes, it can use other supernatural powers, although it cannot display their original power. It can also be used in the Buddha Land.
This made Li Su somewhat wary, mainly because the Buddha Land had now been suppressed into Li Su's meridians and merged with the power of the Arhat True Qi.
Once activated, his body will crack open—no, it will crack open with lines, those are his meridians, inside which lies a nearly destroyed Buddha Land.
Because the space is too small, the Buddha Land cannot swallow it whole; it needs to be broken into pieces, which will result in a horrifying scene.
Unfortunately, many drones were flying around him, and countless cameras were pointed at him, which made things very difficult.
After thinking for a moment, Li Su made a decision.
The forces that pull the four together move downwards.
Instantly, the balance of power between the four directions shifted to one side, and the hard ground, which could withstand the impact of a Dao Arts Realm, cracked immediately.
Li Su, the commander of the insect swarm, and three elite-class insects burrowed underground.
At that moment, the drone, oblivious to the situation, quickly followed and went underground, intending to continue filming.
Li Su's face darkened; she felt these drones were a real nuisance, just like Li Youyou from the Military University —they left no privacy whatsoever.
He activated the demonic seed, causing a shockwave that directly destroyed the pursuing drone and blocked its path.
The drone was destroyed, and the ground feed was immediately cut off. Countless people felt a chill, especially a certain mushroom-haired girl who had been moved to the rear to rest after the fierce battle. She was standing in the recording center, feeling somewhat agitated.
The Tyrant fought three formidable generals single-handedly, yet this top news story has disappeared???
Underground! After confirming that no one could see him, Li Su took a breath. His eyes lit up; even in the pitch-black underground, he could see a green light—he was truly starving.
An unprecedented chill suddenly appeared, instantly freezing the limbs of the Commander Bug and the Warrior-class Bug.
A black shadow was fluctuating; that was Li Su's Yin energy. Although Xiaoqian was still unconscious, her instincts remained. A hand reached out from Li Su's shadow and grabbed at the three fierce generals.
The three fierce warriors immediately sensed great terror and struggled fiercely and excitedly.
Unfortunately, they were facing the Yin, a power capable of freezing life from the very essence of existence.
They had no soul to begin with, belonging to the lowest level of life forms. The power of Taiyin was like a nemesis, freezing the minds of the three fierce generals to death with its chill.
Immediately, cracks began to appear on Li Su's skin. The once peaceful and sacred Pure Land Buddha Kingdom now looked incredibly eerie. Countless figures appeared in the Cleft Mouth —five hundred Arhats and three thousand Bhikkhunis. However, because they were all too thin and emaciated from hunger, they seemed like some indescribable creature. Flames shot out from within, shattering the three fierce generals. Then, the flames transformed into hands that grabbed the fragments and returned.
Beneath his feet, the dark shadows trembled, and the black hands formed by the power of Yin pulled the remains of those fierce-class insects into them.
The scene was utterly bizarre, so much so that even the commander insect, who possessed a certain level of intelligence, couldn't help but scream, "What is that thing?"
Finally, there was income. Cheers rang out from the Buddha Land and the Ghost Domain. They sprang into action, beating drums and gongs, and dismembering corpses to extract oil.
With each fluctuation, a large number of extraordinary particles appeared in Li Su's body, and his incredibly hungry body began to devour them.
In about ten seconds, the three powerful insects at the Dao Arts Realm were completely devoured by Li Su's Buddha Land and Ghost Domain. He took a breath, his eyes glowed, and the next moment a Heart Blade composed of Black Light White Thunder appeared. Unlike before, which was mixed with a trace of power, it directly cut off the commander insect's brain with one strike, shattered its body, swallowed it, and then charged out with its head in hand.
Boom!
With a loud bang, amidst the tense and worried gazes of countless people, Li Su returned to the ground.
He carried the commander insect's head, his body unscathed, and the golden light seemed to have grown even brighter.
Immediately, everyone who was about to discuss whether to organize a rescue operation fell silent, especially when they saw the Commander Insect being carried by the other party, which seemed to be telling them that their worries were completely unnecessary.
Wu Mo and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh and curse, "That brat!"
However, this battle is not over yet...
Although the swarm's attack was disrupted as Li Su chopped off the commander insect, leaving only its head, and insects began to emerge in many places, causing the threat level to drop sharply, they still hadn't found the insect nest or the path for the insects to enter the Mortal Realm.
Once everything on the surface is cleared, let's begin the underground exploration.
Ying Zhan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle was not over yet, it had to be said that Li Su's arrival was very timely. At least, there would be no greater casualties, and no city would be completely overrun.
At this moment, Li Su, standing still and holding the Commander Bug, had a gleam in his eyes. He was no longer angry; his violent emotions had subsided, and a sweet smile couldn't help but appear on his face as he stared at the ground, beaming with joy.
As everyone knows, when Li Su was cultivating in the Buddha Land, he didn't consume any of his own resources; he leveled up entirely by fighting monsters. The demons and monsters in A Chinese Ghost Story know this all too well.
