My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1433 - 1353: Chance Encounter

"Quick, it seems there’s some commotion up ahead."

Just as the Insect King appeared, Feng Wuxiu and the others also heard the commotion from this direction.

They thought it was the people from the Yin Ghost Sect fighting against the murderers of the Yin Ghost Sect, without any hesitation, they wanted to take advantage and rushed towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Feng Wuxiu and others saw the giant Insect King, as well as the dense swarm of shadow bugs that made their skin crawl.

"What are those things?"

A disciple quietly asked, but couldn’t help feeling nauseated.

Feng Wuxiu didn’t know what these things were, and neither did Dugu Yue.

The people of the Yin Ghost Sect were either bitten to death or eaten, leaving not a single living person.

However, before Feng Wuxiu and the rest could figure out what was going on, a shadow bug seemed to have noticed them.

The shadow bug let out a piercing scream, twisted its body, and sprang towards Feng Wuxiu and his group.

A disciple saw the shadow bug coming, and without much thought, directly slashed down with his sword, cutting the shadow bug in two.

This action seemed to stir up a hornet’s nest.

As the shadow bug twisted on the ground, countless shadow bugs surged towards them.

A slightly larger shadow bug extended its tongue from afar, directly wrapped it around the neck of the disciple who made a move, and with a pull, snapped his neck before he got far.

Seeing a companion die so swiftly, Feng Wuxiu and the others dared not delay.

But they didn’t notice that the shadow bug they slashed apart wasn’t dead.

"What are you waiting for, make a move!" Dugu Yue shouted, both his swords striking out like two dragons emerging from the sea, as if carrying a dragon’s roar.

"Roar roar!"

After two slight sounds, the two swords had already slashed towards the shadow bugs.

These twin dragon swords were clearly no ordinary weapons, slicing through the shadow bugs like hot knives through butter, cutting several of them in half in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Dugu Yue’s speed increased, almost every shadow bug he encountered was split in two.

Seeing Dugu Yue exhibit his skills, a disciple couldn’t help but cheer: "Great, the Second Master is truly as formidable as his reputation!"

Feng Wuxiu also glanced at Dugu Yue with some envy.

As the chief disciple of the younger generation in Wan Jian Villa, he was no doubt a genius, but he hadn’t trained long enough.

Although Feng Wuxiu was outstanding among the disciples, compared to Dugu Yue, there was still a large gap.

However, Feng Wuxiu wasn’t idle either.

Seeing Dugu Yue had already killed many shadow bugs, he began to employ the One-Armed Sword Technique to slay the shadows bugs as well.

For a time, the halves of shadow bugs flew around, as if the battle had been easily controlled by this group from Wan Jian Villa.

But soon, they finally realized the problem.

The shadow bugs cut in half were not dead, each one twisted its body and came back to life.

"Senior Brother, Second Master, stop, stop!" A disciple cried out loudly in panic: "Look, these bugs can’t be killed!"

Dugu Yue and Feng Wuxiu simultaneously retreated several steps, putting the disciples of Wan Jian Villa behind them, facing the shadow bugs.

It was a startling sight, causing both Dugu Yue and Feng Wuxiu to break out in a cold sweat.

These bugs, the more they killed, the more there seemed to be.

"Master Uncle, what do we do?" Feng Wuxiu swallowed and glanced at Dugu Yue with difficulty.

Dugu Yue had never encountered such a thing before either: "What are these things, why can’t they be killed and instead multiply?"

No one could answer Dugu Yue, the only response was a deeper, more piercing scream.

Looking up, they finally saw the massive Insect King.

After swallowing Ye Guichen, the Insect King seemed unsatisfied, as if admonishing the smaller shadow bugs for daring to steal its food.

With this roar, the shadow bugs that had surrounded Dugu Yue and the others all retreated to the sides in fear, hanging their heads low, as if extremely afraid of the Insect King.

The Insect King then crawled towards Dugu Yue and the others in an ostentatious manner.

It completely disregarded Dugu Yue and the others, viewing them merely as tasty food.

From a distance of over ten meters, the Insect King extended its tongue, easily wrapping up two disciples of Wan Jian Villa and swallowing them whole.

The speed was so fast, even Ye Guichen couldn’t react, let alone Dugu Yue and Feng Wuxiu.

Accompanied by two screams, quickly drowned out in the Insect King’s belly, the atmosphere around became even more oppressive.

A disciple was so terrified by the Insect King’s might, he wet himself on the spot.

The stench spread, but he dared not move.

Dugu Yue also swallowed, feeling his throat dry, and whispered to Feng Wuxiu: "This monster is harder to deal with than imagined, it’s likely above the Golden Core Realm. Killing it today is impossible. So, I’ll try to distract it while you all escape, understand?"

Seeing the Insect King’s size and speed, Dugu Yue lost the desire to continue fighting it.

Dugu Yue had only one thought: If they could escape today, that would be a miracle.

Though he didn’t know why such a monster was here, clearly now wasn’t the time to be concerned.

Feng Wuxiu, too, furrowed his brow and gently nodded.

The Insect King, however, did not rush to attack, stopping seven meters away from Dugu Yue and the others, raising its head, its eyes narrowing slightly, and its antennae wriggling.
