Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Thunder and Lightning Joint Attack! The Insect Swarm’s Trump Card

WHOOSH—

Ten Thunder Rocs dive-bombed at extreme speeds. Under the Insect Nest’s precise control, the lightning they simultaneously spewed did not strike the Flesh Golem directly. Instead, the bolts converged at a single point several meters above it, merging into an even more massive bolt of lightning. This kind of attack was normally impossible, but under the Insect Nest’s staggering computing power, the Insect Swarm made the impossible possible. It divided its focus ten ways, achieving a perfect fusion.

BOOM!

Amidst the deafening roar, the lightning—carrying the combined attacks of ten Thunder Rocs—instantly enveloped the Flesh Golem, which was covered entirely in eyeballs. Snakes of lightning danced wildly, piercing through the eerie blood mist on its surface and blasting charred holes into its massive fleshly body. Nearly half the eyeballs on its body burst in the flashing lightning with a series of POPPING sounds. Thick, murky pus and blood oozed out, only to be evaporated by the lightning’s intense heat, emitting an incredibly pungent stench. The Flesh Golem let out an agonizing roar as its enormous body crashed to its knees.

Yet, even this strike failed to kill it. Granulation tissue continued to grow within its charred body. Struggling, it grabbed a severed limb from the ground and stuffed it into its mouth. Then, its pair of massive arms flailed wildly on the ground, trying to devour more flesh and blood to fuel its recovery.

But how could the Insect Swarm give it a chance to recover?

Almost simultaneously with the Thunder Rocs’ attack, several Mountain-Splitting Tigers nimbly darted through the battlefield. Their massive paws, wreathed in an earthy-yellow glow, slammed heavily into the ground!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thick, sharp rock spikes suddenly thrust up from beneath the Flesh Golem’s feet. The monster, already felled by the lightning, was pierced clean through, skewered like a kebab. Having been severely wounded by the lightning and now impaled, even with its staggering Life Force, the Flesh Golem entered a near-death state.

But the onslaught still did not stop.

Two giant apes—standing a full twenty feet tall, covered entirely in carapace, with pairs of Fists flashing with a metallic luster like Warhammers—charged out with a roar. Like piledrivers, they frantically smashed the dying Flesh Golem’s head. No matter how strong the Flesh Golem’s defenses were, its brains burst out under such an attack. Its life aura gradually weakened, leaving only its massive body still twitching.

On the other side, over twenty Poison Burst Insects bounded forward, launching a unified charge alongside several cockroaches.

The moment they drew near.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The twenty Poison Burst Insects instantly self-destructed. The thick, highly toxic corrosive liquid completely dissolved the blood-red mist on the surface of another Flesh Golem. Under that terrifying corrosiveness, the bones of the Flesh Golem’s mutated body were exposed. Its gaping maws snapped open and shut hideously, inadvertently swallowing a large amount of the corrosive fluid into its stomach. A SIZZLING corrosive sound echoed from its abdomen as it was eaten away from the inside.

Following closely behind, the cockroaches roared and lunged forward, frantically slashing with their Reaper’s Scythe claws, engaging the Flesh Golem in a brutally tragic close-quarters melee. A single cockroach was indeed no match for it. But the Insect Swarm never fought alone!

When one cockroach’s Reaper’s Scythe bladed arm slashed at a leg joint, it was forcefully dismantled, the dark red twisted bones emitting a CREAKING sound.

A Blazing Flame Tiger Demon spewed scorching Flames from its mouth. Under the astonishing heat, the smell of roasting, rotten meat wafted through the air.

Meanwhile, the final Flesh Golem was focus-fired by all the Black Thorn Eagles. Tens of thousands of Child Gu whistled through the air, covering it like a black cloud. While the Blood Demon Golem flailed at its own body, a Profound Flood Dragon’s lithe body slithered up and coiled tightly around it. Its scale-covered form constricted the golem relentlessly, the immense crushing force causing the monster’s bones to groan under the strain. The Flood Dragon’s full fifty-four-foot body completely enveloped it.

At the same time, it opened its massive jaws and injected highly concentrated, corrosive venom directly into the Flesh Golem’s body like a water arrow.

HISS—!

Like a red-hot iron plunged into ice water, a violent reaction echoed from within the Flesh Golem’s wounds. Huge chunks of flesh and blood, along with the skeletal structure inside, rapidly melted away! Under the targeted strikes orchestrated by the Insect Nest mobilizing its high-end forces, the three Flesh Golems were instantly put in grave peril. The tide of the battlefield took a sharp turn.

"ROAR—!!!"

At the rear of the battlefield, watching its highly anticipated trump cards disintegrate under the Insect Swarm’s highly efficient coordination, the Mountain Demon King let out a lung-tearing roar.

It couldn’t wait any longer! The tribe had already reached the brink of extinction.

"Roar! Take the younglings and leave through the secret passage. You are the wisest in our tribe. The Mountain Demon Tribe cannot be completely annihilated!" The Mountain Demon King roared at the old Mountain Demon, its eyes brimming with tyranny and madness.

"King, you must take them away. I am already old and won’t live much longer," the old Mountain Demon said in a low voice.

However, before it could finish speaking.

BOOM!

A monstrous blood mist suddenly erupted from the Mountain Demon King’s burly body, and then it violently ignited into Flames! A literal combustion! Crimson Blood Flames soared into the sky, completely engulfing its muscular frame, making it look like a Flame giant walking out of hell! Its aura climbed frantically at a terrifying speed, breaking through its original limits and reaching a palpitating level.

The price was the rapid draining of its own life.

Its fur charred and fell off in the Blood Flames, and its skin became shriveled and cracked. Yet, the madness and will for Destruction in its eyes reached their absolute peak!

It was the one who had researched the Blood Demon Sect Secret Technique the most profoundly! To break through its bottleneck, it had considered many methods but still failed to advance. The Secret Technique delivered by the Blood Demon Sect had become its final straw. Even knowing it contained lethal poison, its inner greed still drove it to make the choice.

It was like this, and so were many Old Demons and Demon Fiends targeted by the Blood Demon Sect.

"Die!!"

The Mountain Demon King kicked off the ground fiercely, turning the rocks beneath its feet to dust! Its figure transformed into a bloody flash of lightning, lunging directly toward the rear of the Insect Swarm’s formation, where the cockroaches and Mountain-Splitting Tigers were continuously spitting acid and unleashing ground spikes! It intended to tear apart the Insect Swarm’s front line with absolute strength.

It knew very well that the three Flesh Golems were not completely dead. Those things possessed extremely tenacious lives. Unless their corpses were entirely dismembered, they could regain their combat prowess by feeding on flesh and blood, even if their heads were shattered. These things were unnatural.

Under its frenzied combustion, the Mountain Demon King’s speed was simply too fast! Its strength was too overwhelming!

BANG!

A Mountain-Splitting Tiger blocking the way was sent flying by a direct collision, its massive body shattering into pieces in mid-air!

RIP!

Another cockroach was grabbed by its claws burning with Blood Flames and forcibly torn in half. Acid splashed onto the Blood Flames, but it only elicited a SIZZLING sound, completely failing to harm its main body!

It carved into the Insect Swarm like a red-hot dagger. Wherever it passed, Insect Race units were either killed or injured. In a short span of time, it had actually carved out a bloody path!

"The desperate struggle of a cornered beast!" In the sky, Qin Yu’s eyes remained icy.

Although the Mountain Demon King’s counterattack was ferocious, in his eyes, it was nothing more than the thrashing of a trapped animal. Without him needing to take control, the Insect Nest executed the optimal countermeasure.

Speed? No matter how fast it was, how could it outpace a Thunderbolt!

In the sky, the ten Thunder Rocs spread their wings and soared before going into a breakneck dive. The Thunder Strike Combo Technique erupted once again. The Thunderbolt, illuminating heaven and earth, struck the violently charging Mountain Demon King’s body with unrivaled momentum and perfect precision.

BOOM!

The Qi Blood blazing on the Mountain Demon King’s body shattered with a bang, leaving its entire frame charred black. The Thunder and Lightning Joint Attack not only broke through its protective Qi Blood, heavily injuring it, but also left its body stiff and paralyzed.

BANG! BANG BANG BANG!

A series of self-destructs echoed around the Mountain Demon King. The purple-black corrosive fluid of the Poison Burst Insects mutually eroded and canceled out the burning Blood Flames. Three prepared cockroaches roared in unison and pounced simultaneously.

Amidst the sounds of collision, the Mountain Demon King forced itself to swing its Fist. Like a landslide, it slammed heavily into one of the cockroaches, sending the creature flying. However, another cockroach seized the opportunity to pin it to the ground.

The cockroach’s Reaper’s Scythe bladed arm slashed down.

A massive gash was torn open across the Mountain Demon King’s abdomen, causing its squeezed internal organs to gush out. Its eyes instantly bulged and turned bloodshot as it burned with even hotter Flames in a bid to resist. But in the next moment, the surrounding Insect Swarm lunged in for the kill. In the blink of an eye, they piled atop the fallen Mountain Demon King layer upon layer, completely smothering the Blood Flames burning on its body.

"The King... is dead..." Fleeing into the cavern, the old Mountain Demon watched the bloody figure fall in mere moments. It let out a cry of despair before charging deep into the belly of the mountain without looking back.

The old Mountain Demon witnessed the Mountain Demon King’s fall. The other surviving Mountain Demons saw it too. With their King dead, their will to resist completely shattered. Emitting terrified shrieks, they abandoned all thought of battle and scattered in a panic.

"The outcome is decided!" Looking down at the rapidly advancing Insect Swarm, Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"The power of the Thunder Rocs’ Thunder Strike Combo Technique is astounding. It’s incredibly effective against such powerful individual units. I can incubate more Thunder Rocs!" he thought. "This combo technique can become another trump card for the Insect Swarm!"
