Chen Feng’s figure descended from the sky, and the blazing sub-divine artifact slashed through with a red gleam towards the body of the Ghost-faced Spider. Everything happened too suddenly.
The newly emerged Ghost-faced Spider, once considered a boss-level being, shattered like porcelain at the mere touch of the sub-divine artifact!
Without even a sound, the Ghost-faced Spider’s body split in two. More horrifyingly, as it was cut, the body began to burn.
Boom!
A wave of heat surged, and in just one second, the powerful Insect Emperor died in front of everyone.
It was over.
With zero deaths and injuries, this seemingly terrifying insect swarm met its end.
...............
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Responding to Xing Yong’s call, several hundred rebels gathered around. Among them were bloodthirsty thugs, some who had even killed with their own hands.
Special times call for special measures.
In times of peace, murderers are feared, but in this apocalypse, unlike the timid and honest folk, Xing Yong naturally favored those who lived on the edge. Yet, no matter how fearsome these people were before, now they seemed utterly shocked.
Thanks to the Hawk eye’s abilities, everyone witnessed the battle. According to their plan, they would have shown up halfway through the insects’ fight with the target to seize the ship. But who could have imagined the terrifying insect tide was subdued without even a splash?
Several exchanged glances. Despite their previous ferocity, they were genuinely terrified now. Even Xing Yong, the mastermind of this plot, trembled slightly. The terrifying weapons, the cunning cooperation, and... that terrifying man at the end.
From start to finish, with just one sword swing, the terrifying Insect Emperor was split in two. The opponent’s strength was beyond Xing Yong’s comprehension.
Who was this person, where did they come from, and what was their goal? None of that mattered anymore. What mattered was realizing his own foolishness.
A mantis trying to stop a chariot.
To think he aimed to seize that person’s ship seemed utterly laughable and reckless now!
Under everyone’s dread, this farce ended quietly.
Xing Yong took a deep breath, suppressing his inner fear. He patted the Hawk eye’s shoulder, trying to end this meaningless surveillance.
The plan was evidently dead on arrival,
but just then, he noticed the Hawk eye’s unusual state. This subordinate, who could share sight with animals, was now shivering uncontrollably as if standing naked in the winter streets.
A foreboding feeling crept over him. Following the Hawk eye’s gaze, he saw the formidable figure who had just slain the Insect Emperor staring straight ahead. Xing Yong finally understood why the Hawk eye was so unsettled. Even he felt his heart sink under such a scrutinizing gaze.
On the other side.
Chen Feng looked up at the treetop, at the owl that hadn’t moved an inch even after hearing the cannon blasts, and said just one thing:
"Did you enjoy the view?"
At the same time, ripples formed in Chen Feng’s right eye. Four mottled dots began to spin, like black holes devouring everything, instantly reflecting in the bird’s eyes.
"Ah!"
The Hawk eye cried out in pain as the scene before him vanished, and his eyes seemed to suffer some damage, bleeding two rivers of crimson.
Xing Yong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but the next words from the Hawk eye caused his gesture to freeze halfway.
"We must go... he... he’s discovered us!"
