Zhang Ronghua’s expression changed and he pointed to the ground. “There’s something down there!”

Ji Xueyan was also very decisive. “Let’s go!”

He rushed out of the hall.

He rode the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse and rushed out.

It was too late.

The ferocious purple-yellow bug was the size of an adult’s fist. They had two wings on their backs and huge teeth. They occupied a third of their bodies and were sharp and flickered with a ghostly light. They carried terrifying poison and a layer of demonic light circulated on their bodies as they rushed out from the ground.

They were so dense that there was no end to them.

With the dilapidated temple as the center, it was everywhere.

“Yellow Spring Ancient Bug!”

“You know him?”

“Yes.” Ji Xueyan’s expression was solemn, a rare change in expression.

“This insect’s defense is shocking and it has extraordinary strength. It can fly and enter the ground without fear of fire and water. Moreover, its poison is shocking. Once bitten, the Yellow Spring Poison will enter your bones and be difficult to treat! A single Yellow Spring Ancient Bug is not terrifying. Once it forms a group, even gods and demons will have to retreat.”

Not only were these Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs living in groups, but from the commotion, there were probably more than ten thousand of them.

“How does the person behind it control it?”

“The world is so big. There are all kinds of strange things.”

Although she was a woman, she was very decisive. She looked at Yue Ya. “His target is me. We’ll attract his attention later. Find an opportunity to break out and ask the capital for help!”

“No way!”

Yue Ya and Zheng Fugui spoke at the same time. One was worried about her Miss’s safety, and the other was worried about his cousin.

This time, it was Zhang Ronghua and Ji Xueyan’s turn.

“That’s an order!”

Before the two of them could refuse, the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug attacked from all directions.

Zhang Ronghua said, “Let’s go out first! This place is too small to dodge them.”

He took out the Golden Dragon Sword and led the way.

Sword aura swept across and cut down the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug that shot over.

A strange scene happened. Ji Xueyan said that they were indestructible and had a shocking defense. As his sword aura passed, these Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs were cut in half one after another. As soon as their corpses fell to the ground, the surrounding Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs swarmed up and devoured their dead companions.

“Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique?”

Before he could think too much, more and more Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs rushed up. The sword light danced impenetrable, forcefully carving a bloody path.

Ji Xueyan was shocked. Looking at his back, she was shocked. How did he do it? He killed the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug as easily as killing a dog. Looking at the Golden Dragon Sword in his hand, this was the Crown Prince’s sword. It could be seen how much he valued him.

He reined in his thoughts.

She took out a sword that was golden in color. The sword aura was rich and emitted a golden light. It was her spiritual treasure, the Golden Light Sword.

Following behind him, she was in charge of the safety of both sides.

They left the dilapidated temple.

“Go!”

Yue Ya still wanted to persuade her, but seeing the determination in her Miss’s eyes, she gritted her teeth and rushed out. Although Zheng Fugui did not want to leave, his cousin had given the order to follow.

The person in the dark did not stop him. His target was Ji Xueyan. He just had to keep her here.

He controlled the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug to attack them.

After a while.

The ground was filled with the corpses of the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs. After killing so many, their numbers did not decrease. There were still many of them. This could not go on.

Zhang Ronghua said, “Can you do it alone?”

“Yes,” Ji Xueyan understood what he meant. He wanted to deal with the person controlling the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs.

“Be careful!”

With that, Zhang Ronghua rushed out of the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse.

He activated his cultivation at the third level of the Celestial Realm. Coupled with the Golden Dragon Sword, he entered the sea of insects without slowing down. Wherever he passed, the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs blocking his way were killed one after another.

A powerful soul power enveloped the dilapidated temple, searching for the person hiding in the dark.

A thousand feet away, on a big tree, a black-robed man was carrying a basketball-sized Yellow Spring Ancient Bug. It was the queen and could control the entire army of Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs through it.

Looking at the dilapidated temple, he narrowed his eyes smugly and laughed lecherously.

Number one beauty in the world? She’s mine after tonight.

He thought of the portrait of Ning Xue he had seen two days ago. She was as beautiful as a fairy and otherworldly. She was too beautiful. At that time, he had been attracted. There was only one thought in his mind. He had to get her at all costs!

He stroked the insect queen. “It’s all thanks to you this time. After I succeed, I’ll definitely find more food for you.”

A ferocious glint flashed in the depths of the insect queen’s eyes, but after being hit by the slave seal, even someone as strong as it could not resist.

However, it was the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug after all. It was fierce and powerful. As long as he died, it could use its bloodline to break through the slave seal and regain its freedom.

Sensing that someone from the race had rushed out with terrifying cultivation, its clansmen could not even stop him. He seemed to be looking for it. It had a plan and controlled the race without leaving a trace, attracting Zhang Ronghua over.

Under the cover of the rain and thick fog, the black-robed man did not notice the insect queen’s small actions. He continued to smile proudly.

Zhang Ronghua’s eyes lit up. In his powerful soul power perception, he found the enemy hidden in the tree. “So it’s here.”

Righteousness Qi!

Ten thousand golden lights rushed out of his body. Divine justice, extreme yang, and unyielding spirit sent all the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs that rushed up flying. They rushed towards him with a loud tearing sound.

The black-robed man’s expression changed drastically in disbelief. “That’s impossible!”

He was only at the tenth level of the Grandmaster Realm. A year ago, he happened to discover the severely injured insect queen and subdued it with a slave seal while it was weak. Otherwise, with his ability, even a hundred of them would not be enough to feed the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug Race.

Sensing the supreme pressure coming from Zhang Ronghua, it was actually a Celestial Realm expert! His legs went weak from fear and he hurriedly shouted, “Stop him!”

“Die!”

The sword aura tore through the air and slashed domineeringly, cutting him in half. The insect queen landed and quickly turned underground. It let out a series of strange cries and ordered the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs to leave. The most important thing now was to deal with the slave seal in its mind.

Seeing the Yellow Spring Ancient Bugs retreat, Zhang Ronghua quickly returned. When he rushed to Ji Xueyan, he happened to see her exhausting the last bit of her internal energy. Her Righteousness Qi could not withstand it and dissipated. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Swoosh!

With a golden flash, Zhang Ronghua hugged her when she was about to fall to the ground. “Are you okay?”

What a pointless question!

Ji Xueyan’s dress was already dyed red with blood. There was an insect mark on her lower abdomen. It seemed that she had been bitten by the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug and the Yellow Spring Poison had invaded her body.

“I—I’m f—”

Before she could finish, she fainted.

Looking around, the rain poured. The fog was very thick and was not suitable for traveling. Even if he wanted to find a place to heal her, it was too late. If he delayed any longer, when the Yellow Spring Poison fused into her bone marrow, he would really be helpless.

Zhang Ronghua rushed into the dilapidated temple.

He carried her into the tent and took out a Night Pearl. With the light emitted by the bead, he expelled the darkness.

Looking at her wound, Zhang Ronghua hesitated.
