Chapter 179

A supply chain of dead bodies came in from all sorts of directions.

Although the incredibly large number of these bugs caused the disciples to frown, they still readied their weapons.

A majority of the beasts were Low Rank 1, and weak Low Rank 1s anyway.

''Disciples ready to attack! We have requested reinforcements from the sect, but we will wipe out as many as possible before they arrive.''

Suddenly twelve figures appeared in the air. Each exuding incredible aura. Even the powerful warrior who wiped out tens of thousands of insects in one swipe was standing at the end of the line.

With a strong middle-aged man in the lead.

''Attack!'' The lead elder shouted.

His hand rose into the air, and energy began to pour in. Slowly a giant meteorite forms in his palm and is blasted down towards the beast like an apocalypse.

With a deafening crash a large pit of beasts were wiped out immediately!

However it was quickly filled in. But the attack wasn't over. The other elders all launched their attacks.

And soon the elite Disciples charged in. This time they really didn't spare anything.

Every attack possible was sent out. And a bloody battle began.

Thousands of insects were killed every second, but they were seemingly unending. Slowly under the constant swarm the weaker disciples were being overwhelmed.

Some managed to retreat, others were engulfed by the swarm. But the Rank two warriors were still hunting them down.

Serpentine Samuel grabbed a High Rank 1 insect by the throat and pierced its neck with his sharp teeth. A ferocious smile formed on his face as blood dripped down his neck.

The black sword swung out slicing dozens of monsters into pieces as the claw grabbed a jumping cricket by the heart, popping it immediately.

Just then a clicking noise came to Serpentine Samuels ears. He turned his head to see the strongest insects they have come across appear.

There were one hundred Low Rank 2 Insects! They looked a lot like slugs, but had sharp black spines spread across their backs.

Slowly you could see charges of electricity crackle across it as they crawled towards the nearest disciples.

A confident Low Rank 2 Disiciple took this chance to attack, but before he could reach them three slugs released a charge of electricity paralysing him immediately!

The rest of the disciples saw such a scene and backed away from the creatures immediately.

''Luckily the elders are here…'' Serpentine Samuel wiped blood out of his eyes as he continued his massacre.

As expected, a second later a beautiful young woman appeared in front of the hundred creatures.

Her fair palm stretched out as dozens of thin needles were threaded between her fingers.

In an instant, faster than Serpentine Samuel could track, the needles appeared in the heads of all 100 beasts. And a second later, they were all dead.

''Middle Rank 3 is so powerful!'' Samuel never expected it. 100 Low Rank 2's in an instant? Even if they are mere slugs!

''Dam Dam Dam! Why is just a sect so powerful?'' Lanston watched his precious beasts be wiped out in seconds and popped a bug's head in anger.

''Kill them all!'' Rage fueled Lanstons stupidity. Rather than running, he lost the chance.

Suddenly the sect disciples outside of the portal saw a flood of creatures come towards them. The disciples that were previously struggling to maintain their situation where overcome quickly

The number of Warriors fell from 2,900 to 2,500 quickly and continued dropping. The elders also realised the seriousness of this situation.

And they began to activate their Artifacts quickly. The beautiful elder appeared in the air. A small metal flower appeared in her hands.

When she infused spiritual energy into it, instantly it grew quickly reaching dozens of feet tall. A small powder flowed out, and sprinkled on the body of the swarm below.

Whenever a creature was touched, it's body would quickly wither and die. The bodies would shrivel pitifully before grinding to a halt.

All the other elders quickly pulled out Artifacts as well. And for a while there were constant streams of energy spreading between groups. But no matter how strong the leaders are, they couldn't kill all the millions of creatures.

The disciples died quickly, their bodies being devoured under the sharp teeth of the swarm.

When the number dropped to 300, they realised they were really in trouble. The only warriors left were all the Rank 2 Elites that were brought this time.

Even strong warriors like Serpentine Samuel were struggling to survive at this time. He was already standing on a mountain of corpses, his sword indiscriminately slicing the bodies of the swarm.

''Ahhh!'' But then a horrific cry appeared. All the warriors looked and saw the weakest of the elders actually being devoured!

Below him were easily a million bodies, but he had been overwhelmed in the end.

''An elder died?'' Serpentine Samuell was immediately horrified. Just the number of beasts alone caused him to despair, and now one of their powerful elders have fallen.

Serpentine Samuel realised that he would die here if he continued. Cautiously without anyone realising he began edging towards the edge of the battlefield.

And as screams continued to echo throughout the battlefield, he broke through the boundary! With a powerful slash hundreds of insects blocking his way were killed.

And Serpentine Samuel didn't waste any time, he ran. He ran for his life. There were no just in time rescue squads coming to help them. Three elders were already dead! The rest are likely to run soon or die!

So he took the lead. He ran without reserve. The remainder of his energy was used quickly as he fled.

The slow beasts behind couldn't keep up. Their bodies turned to attack the obedient disciples who continued to fight.

Serpentine Samuel continued to run until he reached a large river.
