Chapter 54

This is the second update of the day, and there will be a third update in the evening. Please tune in on time:)

——

Just as things seemed to slow down, the ghostly blue flames suddenly lashed out in all directions, engulfing more and more people in the inferno. In no time, the flames had spread uncontrollably, turning into a raging wildfire that could not be contained!

The air, scorched by the intense heat, formed rolling waves of steam, distorting the vision completely. Everything in sight became blurry. The only sounds that could be heard were the piercing screams and agonized cries! The scene was nothing short of a living hell!

The Boundless Karmic Fire! A terrifying flame of destruction that burns with the soul as its fuel, capable of consuming all life in the world. The demonic insects that Xiao Sheng had obtained from the Marquis of Bai Li Kun Luo were the ultimate trump card he had prepared for Li Shimin.

Although Xiao Sheng did not like to resort to such wholesale slaughter, if he did not act, the Black Armored Elite Cavalry would catch up to the members of the Twin Dragons Gang and carry out a massacre. Even experts like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling would be doomed under the army's onslaught. As for the other ordinary gang members, their fate would be even worse.

Since Xiao Sheng had already chosen to stand with the Twin Dragons, and since Li Shimin had ignored his three warnings and continued to press on, Xiao Sheng could no longer afford to be merciful. Releasing the demonic insects to engulf the Black Armored Elite Cavalry in the Boundless Karmic Fire was his last resort.

War has always been this cruel. If not you, then me. Since I do not wish to die, then you must die.

The demonic insects, the embodiment of the Boundless Karmic Fire! Their only instinct was to greedily devour everything until the entire world was consumed! The stronger the soul, the more strongly it attracted them!

Without a doubt, among those present, the one with the strongest soul could only be Xiao Sheng.

Just as things seemed to slow down, the ghostly blue flames, which had already consumed most of the Black Armored Elite Cavalry, suddenly rose into the air with a "boom" and formed a terrifying, distorted ghost face. It then lunged at the young man in white, opening its mouth wide to devour him.

Even though they were released by Xiao Sheng, the demonic insects knew no gratitude and had no concept of friend or foe. To them, everything living was merely food.

The ferocity of the demonic insects was expected, but since Xiao Sheng had the courage to release them, he also had the ability to protect himself from their harm.

Just as things seemed to slow down, the young man in white, standing proudly with his hands behind his back, lifted his head and let out a cold snort at the constantly changing, terrifying ghost face in the sky.

"Overlord Aura Wave—Eruption!"

A powerful mental force, like a mountain collapsing and a sea surging, swept in all directions with the cold snort. Under the impact of this invisible mental storm, the distorted ghost face immediately shattered with a "sigh" and could no longer re-form.

The law of the jungle, where the weak must unconditionally submit to the strong, is an eternal truth of nature. Although the demonic insects were mysterious and bizarre, they could not escape this natural law.

Moreover, the demonic insects were simple-minded, only obeying their instincts. When another existence demonstrated overwhelming power, they immediately lost their ferocity. Without even a thought of resistance, the demonic insects submitted to Xiao Sheng and were willing to obey his commands.

Feeling the波动 of submission from the demonic insects on a mental level, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but smile slightly. Only then did he fully relax, confident that the method he had discovered to tame the demonic insects was indeed feasible.

Recalling the time when he was still in training and was chased by these terrifying demonic insects, with no place to run and no way to hide, he had suffered greatly. Now, thousands of demonic insects had become his servants and slaves, a transformation that truly made him sigh with emotion.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Sheng issued a simple command on a mental level. The countless ghost flames and demonic insects immediately regrouped, forming a fiery torrent that returned to the location of the Black Armored Elite Cavalry. They charged at the remaining soldiers who were futilely trying to save their comrades, as well as the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion led by Li Shimin, in an endless stream!

"The demonic creatures are formidable! Under no circumstances should they touch your body!"

With a loud shout, Li Jing was the first to draw his precious saber, Blood Battle Blade, and rushed to Li Shimin's side. Swinging his saber like the wind, he cut left and right in a continuous chain, forming an impenetrable shield. He forcibly created a safe area in the midst of the endless flames.

None of the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion were fools. Seeing Li Jing take action, they also quickly realized what to do. Each of them roared fiercely, drew their weapons, and swung them with all their might. Wei Chi Gong, like a mad tiger, wielded his two-zhang-three-cun-long black iron whip, making it impossible for water to penetrate. Hong Fu, with her duster in hand, exerted her full cultivation to summon a burning phoenix, determined to fight fire with fire. Pang Yu and Chai Shao, one with a roaring fist and the other with a swirling sword, swept in all directions, preventing the ghost flames and demonic insects from getting close.

The demonic insects were a natural anomaly. As long as the inferno did not extinguish, they could never be completely killed. Even if they were cut by swords or sabers, they would not die but instead split into two new demonic insects.

As a result, the more the demonic insects were killed, the more they multiplied, and the pressure on the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion became increasingly heavy. However, they had no choice but to continue fighting. The demonic insects, flying in a swarm, emitted a soul-piercing hum, charging forward in an endless stream, determined to burn the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion to ashes.

The generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion knew that if they continued like this, they would only meet their end. They wanted to break through before their internal energy was exhausted, but the demonic insects swarmed from all directions, blocking all escape routes. They had no choice but to resist with all their might, even though they knew it was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

However, to keep their weapons moving so swiftly was extremely draining of true qi and internal energy. Each move had to be executed with all their might to ensure a continuous flow of power. Even the three great masters of the world, with their extraordinary cultivation, had their limits. Once their internal energy was exhausted, it would be the end for the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion.

In fact, although the ghost flames and demonic insects were formidable, they were not invincible. If their weakness was understood, they could be easily eliminated.

The weakness of the demonic insects was their mental fragility. With a mental force stronger than theirs, they could be easily tamed. They also feared water. Although cutting them with swords and sabers was ineffective, using true qi to perform powerful techniques like the Vajra Zen Lion Roar could also kill them.

Unfortunately, although the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion were not weak in martial arts, their cultivation was at most at the "Five Qi Converging" warrior level. Without reaching the master level, their mental strength was not strong enough to interfere with the physical world. As for using water or techniques like the Lion Roar to eliminate the demonic insects, they could not think of such methods in the heat of the moment.

Amidst the flashing blades and swords, the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion roared continuously, their voices rising and falling. No matter from which direction the demonic insects attacked, they were always repelled. However, the other Black Armored Elite Cavalry did not have the skills of the generals. In a short time, they were all reduced to ashes, along with their horses.

The Black Armored Elite Cavalry was Li Shimin's elite force, on which he had spent countless resources and effort. Normally, losing over a thousand of them would have made his heart bleed. But now, with his own life in danger, he could not afford to care about the Black Armored Elite Cavalry.

At this point, Li Shimin had already regretted thousands of times for not heeding Xiao Sheng's warnings and for ordering the Black Armored Elite Cavalry to charge at Xiao Sheng. But there was no such thing as a regret pill in the world.

Seeing Li Jing, Hong Fu, Wei Chi Gong, Pang Yu, and Chai Shao all drenched in sweat, and the invisible protective shield formed by their weapon movements shrinking by at least two feet, Li Shimin knew that his subordinates were beginning to run out of internal energy.

Continuing like this, there was no doubt that they would all die. Li Shimin clenched his teeth and shouted, "Mr. Xiao, Senior Xiao! I admit defeat. We have no grudges or enmities. There's no need to fight to the death, right? Please take back these demonic insects. We can talk things out."

Wanting to talk things out now? Too late. Xiao Sheng's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. With his hands behind his back, he turned away, clearly not wanting to waste any more words with Li Shimin. At the same time, he issued one mental command after another, urging the demonic insects to attack the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion even more fiercely.

In just the time it took for a meal, the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion one by one ran out of internal energy. Chai Shao, the weakest among them, was the first to falter. His true qi could not keep up, and a gap appeared in his sword technique. The demonic insects immediately found the opening, broke through the defense, and rammed into his nose!

In an instant, "boom," flames erupted. Chai Shao's entire head was enveloped in ghostly blue flames, burning his skin and flesh. His neck was left with only a white skull, but he was still not dead, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.

Witnessing such a horrific scene, the generals of the Heavenly Strategy Mansion were all deeply shaken. Pang Yu, in a moment of distraction, allowed several demonic insects to find an opening and crawl into his nose and mouth. Fierce flames immediately burned from his internal organs. Pang Yu, with smoke coming out of all his orifices, instantly turned into a burning man.
