Chen Yu was stunned, only to see Yang Fei's right hand suddenly withdraw a leather bag.

The mouth of the bag opened wide and was flung towards Chen Yu's face.

The bag was made from tanned human skin, with a tattoo of a menacing skull on it.

Inside the bag, there was a buzzing sound, and a wisp of black fog directly enveloped Chen Yu's head.

Upon closer inspection, the black fog was actually made up of billions of tiny insects.

The insects were so small that they were invisible to the naked eye, yet they exuded a violent and bloody aura that made one's heart tremble with fear.

Sorcery King's Gu Insects!

The Sorcery King was already dead, and these Gu Insects had lost their control.

They were fed with human flesh and blood, and now, without anyone to feed them after the Sorcery King's death, they were starving mad.

Chen Yu was stunned again.

Meanwhile, Yang Fei had already fled at the fastest speed, as if avoiding some malevolent demon star.

Suddenly, Chen Yu felt a pain on his head akin to being sliced by a thousand knives.

The pain seemed as if thousands of steel needles were stabbing his head, or as if boiling oil was poured on his head.

The uncontrollable pain made Chen Yu hold his head, scream in agony, and roll on the ground.

Chen Yu's jointed antennae left a large splash of blood on Yang Fei.

His chest and abdomen were wounded with two bloody holes.

However, Yang Fei seemed to feel no pain, rolling swiftly twice.

At the same time, he issued the order: "Changfeng Squad, gather around me."

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

When they saw Chen Yu, they were all scared out of their wits.

Chen Yu's face and head seemed to be covered with a layer of black liquid.

And this black liquid was slowly flowing down from his head.

Wherever the black liquid flowed, Chen Yu's blood and flesh disappeared without a trace, leaving only bare white bones.

Chen Yu's skull had no trace of blood or tendons.

Even the hard bones had dense honeycomb-like marks.

In fact, Chen Yu only screamed twice before he couldn't make any sound at all.

He just struggled crazily, his seven jointed antennae flailing wildly, causing the surrounding trees to break and the leaves to scatter.

Finally, everyone saw the black stuff flowing on Chen Yu's body and recoiled in terror.

The black substance was clearly formed by billions of Gu Insects, so numerous and dense that at a glance, it looked like flowing water.

The other eight monsters also saw the gruesome state of their leader, Chen Yu.

A hint of fear showed in their dull and indifferent eyes.

Yang Fei didn't idle for a moment.

As everyone gathered around him, he had already taken off his outer clothes and lit them with a lighter.

He shouted the order: "Immediately ignite all the weeds and shrubs to the east, Gu Insects fear fire."

The usually calm and composed Yang Fei was now extremely tense.

Everyone, hearing Yang Fei's words, woke from their stupor and began to act.

Cui Xiang brought a large barrel of gasoline, originally intended for cooking during field life.

Cui Xiang poured the gasoline liberally across the ground, soaking the shrubs and big trees, spanning about fifty or sixty meters left and right.

At this time, the Gu Insects had already eaten all the flesh and blood on Chen Yu's body.

Chen Yu remained in his struggling, grotesque posture, but his flesh was gone completely.

Boom!

Yang Fei threw the burning clothes onto the gasoline-soaked shrubs.

Flames instantly surged skyward, producing billowing black smoke and forming a wall of fire.

The several monsters turned pale with fear and fled towards the forest's edge.

However, the starving Gu Insects had already taken flight and chased after them.

These Gu Insects were terrifyingly fast.

In just an instant, three or four monsters fell to the ground, screaming miserably.

The dense Gu Insects swarmed over them in seconds.

A large number of them accelerated towards the fleeing monsters, forming black wisps resembling streams of clouds blown by a swift wind.

Everyone backed beyond the fire wall.

Yang Fei didn't ease up, igniting the surrounding shrubs as well.

Through the fire wall, they saw the enormous monsters thrashing wildly.

Their long tentacles flailed, looking extremely frightening.

And further away, the sound of monsters wailing in agony could still be heard.

It was evident that the fleeing monsters hadn't escaped the Gu Insects' pursuit, and their screams were exceedingly horrifying.

Everyone gazed at the terrifying scene, trembling in fear.

Even Yang Fei hadn't expected these Gu Insects to be so formidable.

The Sword Emperor held his longsword, watching with trepidation.

He had always considered himself invincible, but today he witnessed Yang Fei's methods and finally conceded.

In this world, the most formidable force isn't martial arts skills but human nature.

Yang Fei's Martial Arts Realm, though impressive, wasn't much to the Sword Emperor.

However, the heart and intelligence Yang Fei displayed, his ability to respond and strategize, left the Sword Emperor convinced.

As the fire grew larger, Yang Fei ordered everyone to quickly retreat east.

On the way, Yang Fei, Fan Yi, Long Xia, and the Three Swords set fires everywhere.

When everyone retreated from the forest, the entire woodland had become a sea of fire.

The night wind carried the flames westwards with a roaring sound.

The nine monstrous creatures targeted by the Gu Insects could not possibly survive.

This large fire was enough to kill most of the Gu Insects, and the few remaining ones wouldn't pose much threat.

In this night battle, the Changfeng Squad had won.

However, even though they won, they paid a heavy price.

Yang Fei, Mad Blade, and Fan Yi were all seriously injured, and the Changfeng Squad lost two members.

Three female soldiers brought by Spider Girl were killed by the monsters.

Each member of the Changfeng Squad was dearly cherished by Yang Fei, Mad Blade, and others.

Though battlefield sacrifices were inevitable, Yang Fei felt an immense sorrow.

Old Man Gong had entrusted the group of children he raised to Yang Fei.

But in less than a year, two of them had perished.

Yang Fei didn't know how he would explain this to Old Man Gong upon his return.

Long Xia looked silently at the sea of fire.

This sea of fire not only buried the nine monsters and the Gu Insects but also his two dear brothers.

All Changfeng Squad members stood silently in front of the sea of fire.

Everyone had a look of grief on their faces, and some began to cry softly.

Spider Girl and her female soldiers knelt on the ground, gathering three handfuls of soil.

Yang Fei watched them in bewilderment, Spider Girl's eyes rimmed with red.

"Our sisters from Blood-cloth Tower are all pitiful souls, many were rescued from slavery and freed by the Tower Master."

"Even in death, our sisters don't know where their souls will rest."

She sighed deeply.

"That's why we have a special cemetery at headquarters to bury our fallen sisters."

She carefully placed the three packages of soil into her tactical backpack, giving a sorrowful smile.

"We couldn't retrieve the ashes of the three sisters; we'll use these dirt packages as a substitute."

Yang Fei felt deep guilt in his heart.

"Sorry, it's due to my actions that these three sisters were implicated."

Spider Girl cast a sideways glance at him.

"Sister Xuanya fell in love with you. As her subordinates, what can we do?"

She spoke, mockingly glancing at a certain part of Yang Fei.

"To us women, men are all the same."

"The only difference is the size of their equipment. Do you have an extraordinary talent and a big equipment?"
