I am an insect

When Ji Ye rushed out, he also faced a joint attack from two men in white hats. The platform was now full of their people, each of whom had the power of an adult worm hidden within them. Without breaking through the encirclement, there was no way to escape.

With a flick of his right hand, a black hook appeared. Just as Ji Ye was about to attack the white-hatted man in front of him, he suddenly saw Lin Ya being kicked and thrown to the ground. Realizing the critical situation, he immediately pushed off with both feet, exerted force horizontally, and flew his entire body horizontally towards the two white-hatted men who wanted to kill Lin Ya.

"You're asking for death." One of the men in the white hat sneered, and with a wave of his right hand, a black object resembling a spider leg flew out of his body and slashed towards Ji Ye, who was charging towards him.

With a soft "hiss," a black hook appeared. Ji Ye raised his hand and hooked it down. The sharp edge of the hook cut off the spider leg that the opponent had sprung out. The hook continued its momentum and slashed downwards. The cone-like hook pierced into the chest cavity of the white-hatted man, even hooking through the mental entity hidden inside.

The sneer on the man in the white hat suddenly froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Each member of these action teams was quite capable. In their eyes, people like Ji Ye and Cheng Gang were just amateurs and lone wolves, how could they possibly stand up to them, a regular army?

At that moment, another man in a white hat, with a lot of barbs growing from his right arm, was about to smash into Lin Ya's head.

With a flick of his left hand, Ji Ye summoned another black hook. The edge of the hook swept across his spiky right arm, spurting out blood. The spiky right arm was severed and flew off.

The man in the white hat let out a scream, clutching his severed arm and staggering back in horror. Ji Ye landed, pushed off with both feet, and stretched out like a monkey in full swing, pulling out the hook in his right hand and hooking it out again.

With a "hiss," the hook pierced the abdomen of the staggering, one-armed man in the white hat, its tip emerging from his back. Ji Ye let out a low growl, exhaled sharply, steadied himself, and, hooking the man in the white hat, flung him sideways.

Two men in white hats and a woman wearing a white hat who rushed forward were hit by the body, groaning and falling backward. The woman in the white hat was even more shocked as she was knocked down by the body.

This scene shocked everyone on the platform. The thin man in sunglasses, who had been leisurely watching the show, gasped in shock, while the short-haired beauty with a relaxed expression widened her eyes and revealed a look of horror.

She knew Ji Ye was very strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill A Yang and the "Mantis" giant dog before, but this strength was only the limit of the initial state, at most slightly stronger than her level. For a formal member of the action team like this, the two of them working together would be no match for Ji Ye.

But what she was seeing now overturned her previous assumptions; she simply couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.

"Impossible—" she finally couldn't help but cry out.

Seeing the two black hooks that appeared in Ji Ye's hand, she suddenly realized what was going on.

Ji Ye has broken through the first stage of adult insects; he is no longer in the "initial state".

After instantly killing two members of the action team, Lin Ya, who had fallen to the ground, rolled over and got up. Still in shock, she was equally horrified by Ji Ye's performance. However, amidst her shock, she also felt joy, because the stronger Ji Ye was, the greater their chances of escaping.

"Run!" Ji Ye shouted. There were too many of them, and the unfathomable Tian Cang could appear at any moment. He dared not linger in the fight. Taking advantage of knocking back the three white-hatted men who had just rushed up, he immediately took a step forward, trying to break out of the platform and escape the encirclement.

***

Tiancang killed the elephant with a single blow and injured Cheng Gang. Seeing that things were not going well, the teacher turned around and ran into the stairwell. Tiancang chased after him, while the clever little eagle also rushed into the stairwell.

Unlike Ji Ye and the others, Xiao Ying trusted his teacher a lot.

He knew that since his teacher had chosen to escape back down the stairs, he must have a plan. He had witnessed his teacher's strength before. Although his teacher was using a different body at that time, the strength he displayed still made Xiao Ying feel that it was unfathomable and that it was definitely not much weaker than Tian Cang.

Since the teacher must have had a reason for choosing to return to the stairs, following the teacher to escape is definitely the right thing to do.

Little Eagle rushed down the stairs at full speed. When he reached the bottom, he saw that the security door to the room below had been opened. The teacher rushed out into the hall through the open security door, while Tian Cang had already caught up with the teacher.

In the hall, he saw at least seven or eight men and women wearing white hats, and it seemed that breaking through the encirclement would be just as difficult.

Tian Cang caught up with his teacher, extended his right hand, and launched an attack.

His eyes began to bulge and swell outwards, transforming into compound eyes resembling those of a fly.

In his double-lens eyes, everything around him seemed to slow down, including the members of the action team. He could see every movement and micro-expression of each person clearly.

These compound eyes are his strongest trump card. Even if both sides are at the same level, he can still crush his opponent when he is in the compound eye state.

As the leader of the "Dacheng District", Tiancang's strength is absolutely terrifying.

He dared not underestimate his teacher. This time, he went all out. He activated his compound eyes, which contained five possible responses his teacher would have. He had calculated all of them and knew how to deal with each of the five responses his teacher might have.

He was confident that he could defeat the teacher in a few rounds.

With a "thud," Tian Cang's right palm struck his teacher squarely on the top of his head.

Completely unexpectedly, the teacher did not respond to any of the five possible responses he had calculated. Instead, the teacher did not react at all, or rather, it was as if the teacher had no time to react before he slapped him on the head.

The power of Tian Cang's palm strike was terrifying. It was at least twice as strong as when he killed the elephant. With one strike, half of the teacher's head collapsed, and the shattered skull fragments pierced through the scalp and protruded. The two eyeballs burst out of their sockets, dragging the severed optic nerves, and shot out like two bullets.

Blood gushed from the teacher's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. Tian Cang could hardly believe his eyes as he watched the teacher collapse limply to the ground.

The teacher was completely powerless to resist and was killed by his own slap.

Seeing the teacher lying on the ground, Tian Cang composed himself and quickly reached out a hand to lift the teacher up again.

The teacher was no longer alive; he had truly been killed by a single blow.

Little Eagle, who was about to rush down the stairs, was so shocked by what he saw that he almost tumbled down the stairs. His face was full of horror. In his eyes, his teacher was so powerful that he was killed by Tian Cang with a single palm strike.

This is impossible!

Tian Cang picked up his teacher's body, a hint of doubt on his face. The fact that he had succeeded so easily and smoothly was too unexpected. Instead, a faint unease rose in his heart.

With his right hand gripping the teacher's neck and his left hand grabbing the teacher's shirt, he tore it open. With a tearing sound, the teacher's shirt was ripped open, revealing strange runes drawn in blood on the exposed skin of his chest and back. These runes had seeped into the teacher's skin, like tattoos that could not be easily wiped off.

Upon seeing these blood-red runes, Tian Cang exclaimed, "Puppet Technique?"
