After the vicious cannon fodder pampered the imperial marshal, he became popular

Chapter 183 Killing the Insect King
Energy waves in the universe are constantly spreading outward.

A pair of deep blue eyes slowly opened, filled with intense hostility.

The body of the Sipuncula begins to stretch out, its broad and sharp wings unfold, and its long, sharp fangs are fully exposed to the air when it opens its mouth.

With a sharp scream.

Countless eyes snapped open, as if summoned by some kind of call. In an instant, countless star insects rose from the ground and swarmed out of their nests!

Looking at it, it was densely packed. Wen Shishu still couldn't accept the creatures called Sipunculus, especially such a dense swarm of them.

She frowned deeply, her expression grave: "Many mutated star worms."

This is the main base of the Star Worms. This time, there are several times more mutated Star Worms than those they encountered not long ago, and their level is also higher than the previous ones.

In the center of these star worms, an especially enormous worm flapped its wings and slowly rose.

A pair of pupils were fixed on the front. Even though they were far apart, many people felt as if they were being watched, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone's faces were solemn, and they were on high alert!
The next second, the insect king in the middle slightly opened its mouth and let out a low growl, without even seeming to use its full strength.

It seemed as if they were completely unafraid of the army in front of them.

Waves of sound spread out instantly from it, and all the star worms received the king's command and surged toward the warship's location.

Fu Ciyan looked at the swarming star insects, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Overestimating yourselves."

"All units, attack!"

"Yes!"

A single word, yet it is powerful and resounding, shaking mountains and rivers!
As they launched their attack, Wen Shishu instantly unleashed his mental power, holding nothing back.

It was at this moment that everyone realized for the first time the terrifying mental power of the 3S healing system.

They all felt the powerful healing force, and under the catalysis of this force, the power of their spiritual sea was released like never before.

The warships continuously weaved through the star worms, and wherever they went, the swarms of worms were instantly torn open, and countless worm bodies fell to the ground.

The star worms on the outer perimeter are of lower level, while the closer to the center, the more high-level star worms there are, and the speed of their attack gradually slows down.

Although the star worms were stupid, they knew that the toxins in their attacks had been neutralized. Coupled with the soldiers' unstoppable fighting power, they wanted to escape out of their survival instinct.

The next second, another roar rose up, and the star insects that were trying to escape stopped. As if they had received a command from their king, they gathered together and headed in one direction.

That's right, it's the warship where Wen Shishu is located.

But how could Fu Ciyan not have made prior preparations?

"Shi Shu." A voice rang in Wen Shi Shu's ear: "Are you ready?"

Wen Shishu nodded, her gaze firm: "Alright."

"Okay." The words fell as soon as they were spoken.

"Fifth Army warships, disperse!"

Upon receiving the order, the warships blocking Wen Shishu's position dispersed.

Wen Shishu's eyes hardened, and he said at the same time, "Retreat!"

In an instant, an opening appeared in front of them, and the warship where Wen Shishu was located quickly retreated.

The attacking star worms were completely surrounded.

This was a plan they had discussed long ago: to lure the enemy deep into their territory and then encircle and annihilate them!

Even if the star worms didn't come for Wen Shishu, they would find a way to get them into the encirclement.

A smile appeared in Wen Shishu's eyes, and as she parted her lips slightly, her powerful singing voice, accompanied by the soldiers' passionate battle, spread throughout the galaxy.

"Are you ready, brothers in arms? When this day truly comes..."

The stirring and powerful singing was enveloped by immense spiritual energy, spreading throughout every corner of the battlefield.

Every character is deeply etched into everyone's heart, expressing their innermost feelings.

They fought against the star worms for so long, all for this moment.

Defeat the Starflies, defend the Empire, and achieve great deeds!

His blood was boiling, and as the song echoed, Fu Ciyan led his soldiers into battle, sweeping all before them.

The mental constraints and strangulation continued in this way.

Without a doubt, these star worms, having lost their toxin advantage, have no resistance whatsoever.

Suddenly, a dramatic change occurred.

"Watch out!" Wen Shishu exclaimed in alarm!
She mobilized all her mental energy and directed it in one direction.

A powerful attack suddenly arrived. The Insect King, which had been far away, instantly appeared in front of the group and launched an attack.

Fu Ciyan's gaze sharpened instantly: "It can actually tear through the void."

He underestimated the Insect King's abilities; he never expected it to be able to tear through space, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to cross such a long distance in an instant.

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard, giving Starflesh a chance to catch its breath.

This insect king is clearly very powerful; the people here are no match for it.

This was the first thought that popped into Fu Ciyan's mind.

“Yue Feng,” Fu Ciyan said.

“Here!” Yue Feng appeared in front of Fu Ciyan.

"You will be in command of the upcoming battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Feng almost immediately understood what Fu Ciyan meant: he wanted Yue Feng to deal with the Insect King himself.

His face was solemn: "Marshal..."

Under Fu Ciyan's gaze, he swallowed the words he was about to say, because he knew that the marshal's decision was the best course of action at present.

Clearly, this insect king is of a higher level than them, roughly estimated to be 3s+.

If he were a marshal at the height of his power, he would naturally not be afraid.

However, the toxins in the Marshal's mental sea were not completely cleared.

But given the situation, these words had to be kept to oneself, otherwise they would inevitably affect morale.

“I’ll go with you.” Wen Shishu’s voice came through the communicator in Fu Ciyan’s ear.

"No way!" Fu Ciyan's first reaction was to refuse.

He is the marshal of the empire, the commander of the entire army. Fighting the Star Worms is his responsibility and his duty, but not Wen Shishu's.

He could not put Wen Shishu in such a dangerous situation.

Those around him were unaware of his conversation with Wen Shishu and were somewhat puzzled.

Wen Shishu took a breath and calmly said, "My warship is positioned behind you and will not enter the war zone."

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something she had carefully considered.

She is a healer and has long been in contact with Fu Ciyan's spiritual world.

She was acutely aware that the toxins in Fu Ciyan's mind had not been completely cleared. If he were to go alone like this, the consequences would be unimaginable if the toxins in his mind got out of control.

Furthermore, one thing is clear: if Fu Ciyan is safe and sound, then they will be safe and sound as well.

If something were to happen to Fu Ciyan, given the Insect King's combat power, could she possibly escape unscathed?

The answer is obvious.

So, she absolutely had to go!
“Fu Ciyan, you have your principles, and I naturally have mine. As the empire’s chief healer, I have an obligation to maintain the stability of each and every one of your mental seas.”

“Moreover,” Wen Shishu said, softening her voice, “we are partners, we are one. If you worry about me, I will naturally worry about you.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Ciyan paused, his fingers clenching tightly at his sides.

After a long while, the hands released their grip: "Okay," Fu Ciyan said.

At the moment the decision was made, Fu Ciyan swiftly issued the order, and the army's formation changed rapidly and orderly under his command.

Wen Shishu's warship carved a path through the star worms and stood steadily behind Fu Ciyan's warship.

Fu Ciyan glanced back, as if he could see her face through the warship.

A slight smile played on her lips: "Take care of yourself."

Knowing he couldn't see, Wen Shishu still nodded: "Yes, you too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Ciyan's warship sped towards the Insect King, unleashing a terrifying burst of spiritual power.

Wave after wave of energy collided rapidly, and soon the two sides were no longer at the center of the war, but were approaching the planet where the Star Worm was located.

"boom!"

The massive energy wave created a huge crater on the planet's surface.

When Wen Shishu saw the warship where Fu Ciyan was located being smashed down, his heart tightened suddenly.

"Fu Ciyan!"

"I'm fine," a voice said. This insect king was of a high level, but it wasn't without the power to fight.

Fu Ciyan looked at the enormous thing in front of him, his eyes darkening: "You think you can conquer the empire? You're overestimating yourself."

The Insect King seemed to understand his words, and instantly became enraged, rising from the ground!

The two, one human and one insect, moved so fast that they were invisible, leaving only bursts of white light from the energy waves.

Star worms continued to attack Wen Shishu from behind. Since Wen Shishu dared to follow, he must have been prepared.

Wen Shishu needed to do her best to create a barrier to eliminate the toxins of the star worms. At the same time, her mental energy was also visibly depleting.

Her current level is very high, and crystals can no longer meet her needs. The crystals she has prepared in her palm are constantly being depleted.

Almost instantly, the energy inside was completely absorbed the moment it reached her hand.

"Miss Wen, we're running out of crystals," Chu Yi said worriedly.

Wen Shishu's level is high, so ordinary crystals are useless to her. Only these top-grade crystals are available, but even the reserves of these crystals are very rare in the empire. This time, almost all of them were taken by Wen Shishu.

Wen Shishu glanced at the crystal, then looked up at the star worms outside.

An idea flashed through her mind: "Chu Yi, lock onto a Star Bug of S rank or higher."

Chu Yi was puzzled, but he did as she said.

The people on their warship who were assigned to Wen Shishu all possessed considerable mental strength, and they were confident they could subdue the star worms, which posed no threat of poison.

Soon, a star worm was locked on.

"Miss Wen, it's done." What do you need to do?
Before he could even ask the question, Wen Shishu spread his spiritual power toward the star worm.

Immediately afterwards, the star worm seemed to sense something terrifying and began to struggle frantically, but it could not break free from its restraints.

Chu Yi stared in disbelief as he watched the energy continuously surging towards Wen Shishu!
Wen Shishu smiled slightly: "As expected."

That's right, she absorbed the energy from the Star Worm Core.

She had absorbed it before, back when Fu Ciyan gave it to her, but it was dug out from the corpse of a star worm, while this time she absorbed it directly.

Wen Shishu absorbed energy extremely quickly. Soon, the star worm's core shattered completely, and its body shriveled up at a visible speed, silently losing its life.

Wen Shishu's eyes lit up. She had only wanted to absorb the energy of the insect core, but she didn't expect that the star insect would die directly after its energy was absorbed. It was a pleasant surprise.

"Come again!"

And so, one high-level star insect after another was imprisoned, and energy continued to flow towards Wen Shishu.

While absorbing the energy, Wen Shishu also maintained her mental barrier.

Everything was going well, until suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

The Insect King's wings were covered in countless bloody scratches, and its body was bleeding profusely, making it look extremely wretched.

Its pupils even began to turn bloodshot, the blue color long gone. It never expected to be beaten like this by a human, and was thoroughly enraged.

The enormous mouth opened, revealing terrifying fangs inside, and a mental attack accompanied by sound waves surged towards Fu Ciyan.

Fu Ciyan suddenly jerked, the veins on both sides of his neck bulging, and his teeth clenched tightly.

At this moment, his mental sea was violently trembling. The toxins that had not been completely eliminated were completely out of control, raging in his mental sea and even causing him to go through a period of disorder.

"Fu Ciyan!" Wen Shishu was shocked by this scene and exclaimed.

Fu Ciyan wanted to tell Wen Shishu not to worry, but he couldn't spare any energy right now. He couldn't care less about the chaos in his mental sea and had to focus all his energy on dealing with the insect king in front of him, who had been completely enraged.

"Fu Ciyan, stop! If this continues, your mental sea will be ruined!" Wen Shishu's anxious voice kept coming into Fu Ciyan's ears through the communicator.

"Fu Ciyan, stop!" Wen Shishu said again and again, reinforcing Fu Ciyan's mental barrier with his own power over and over again.

"How could this be! How could this be!" Wen Shishu shook her head frantically. "Why can't my barrier block its toxins!"

"Why not!" As if she didn't believe in evil, Wen Shishu added countless layers, but it still had no effect.

Chu Yi understood: "It's about rank."

This insect king is of a higher level than Wen Shishu. Although the highest level is 3s, there are different levels within 3s.

This is why, despite also being a 3S, Wen Shishu was unable to completely eliminate Fu Ciyan's toxins.

Although Wen Shishu is also 3S, her level is obviously lower than that of the Insect King.

The energy around Fu Ciyan's place was infinitely concentrated, exceeding the usual limits.

Clearly, he had prepared for the worst.

The Insect King's attacks rained down on the barrier, and a metallic taste rose in Fu Ciyan's throat.

"Fu Ciyan!"

"marshal!"

Countless warships rushed towards Fu Ciyan, relentlessly slamming their attacks onto the Insect King.

Wen Shishu's brain had stopped functioning; she had only one thought in her mind: to block the toxins, she had to block the toxins.

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded in the space.

The gentle, healing spiritual energy spread out in an overwhelming manner, instantly immobilizing the star worms that were just attacking, preventing them from escaping no matter how much they struggled.

Countless streams of spiritual energy surged from the star worm's crystal core, heading towards Wen Shishu.

All the star worms were howling in pain, begging for warmth to release them. They panicked; they were utterly terrified by the fear of death.

Fu Ciyan sensed the fluctuations in the massive energy layer in the air and thought to himself, "Shi Shu, stop it quickly! Your body can't handle that much energy!"

Wen Shishu could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world. She only knew that her mental sea was frantically absorbing energy, and her body felt like it was about to explode. Her mental sea was in excruciating pain.

But she continued to reinforce the barrier, and not only that, a large portion of her mental energy was directed towards Fu Ciyan.

The restless energy in Fu Ciyan's mind and the mental strength of Wen Shishu were locked in a constant tug-of-war, neither willing to yield to the other.

"Ah!" Large beads of sweat rolled down Wen Shishu's forehead. With a heart-wrenching cry, his vigorous spiritual power surged forth.

Wen Shishu's mental power completely overwhelmed that force, sweeping through Fu Ciyan's entire mental sea.

Fu Ciyan's mental sea of ​​agitation was completely quelled, the core area that had never been entered before was completely penetrated, and the residual toxins within were completely enveloped, absorbed, and vanished!

Even the toxins of all the mutated star worms in the space completely dissipated at this moment.

The cores of countless star worms were completely absorbed, and their remains fell to the ground.

Fu Ciyan looked at the scene before him with great anxiety in his eyes. He continued his attack without stopping, rushing towards the Insect King recklessly.

"Shi Shu!" As a surge of mental energy struck the Insect King, Fu Ciyan couldn't control his emotions and shouted into the communicator, but received no response: "Wen Shi Shu!"

"Wen Shishu! Answer me!"

Even though he called out countless times, all he heard from the other end of the communicator was silence.

Fu Ciyan's movements became even faster. Without the poison of the star worms, Fu Ciyan fought with complete abandon, unleashing his mental energy recklessly.

The Insect King couldn't understand why this human had suddenly become so strong. Under the intense attacks, it was almost powerless to fight back and was forced to retreat step by step.

"Marshal!" The following teams rushed over quickly after dealing with the Star Bugs.

The Insect King was completely surrounded. Seeing that things were not going well, it immediately tried to escape out of its survival instinct.

No matter where it was, the layers of energy made it impossible for it to escape.

With each collision, the number of wounds on his body continued to increase.

"Energy layer, retract!"

After Fu Ciyan gave the order, the encirclement began to tighten continuously.

The Insect King let out a series of mournful howls.

The moment it was enveloped by spiritual power, it felt a fear from the depths of its soul.

His pupils contracted violently, and a fierce roar erupted from his mouth.

Within its pupils, a terrifying spiritual force cleaved down from the void!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, it could no longer withstand the attack, and its tall body was cut in half in the blink of an eye.

It didn't even have time to wail.

Fu Ciyan's attack landed again, and its body was completely disintegrated!

Only one worm core remained amidst a pile of blood and flesh.

The air was completely silent!
"The Insect King is dead?"

I made countless preparations for this moment, but when it actually arrived, it still felt unreal.

It took a few seconds before he seemed to fully realize: "The Insect King is dead!"

"we won!"

Without the Insect King, the remaining Star Insects were no threat at all, scattering around like headless flies.

"Kill them all!" A light, airy voice announced their fate.

Fu Ciyan felt no joy at this victory, only worry. After giving his orders, he quickly headed towards the warship where Wen Shishu was.
