Abyss Summoner-Chapter 335 - 327: Narrow Escape from Death

The piercing sound of gunfire intertwined with the neighing.

The insects launched a total assault.

Everything happened too quickly. With the descent of the Silver Peak’s Insect Emperor, the warriors guarding the walls faced bloodthirsty slaughter.

The Ghost-faced Mosquito King ruthlessly harvested its spoils, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of heads were affixed to its body.

Raging flames erupted!

Silhouettes of the insects emerged from the darkness, easily hunting one target after another, and in no time, the defending warriors were at a disadvantage.

Xu Hongzhuang’s expression was complex.

Watching the chaotic slaughter in front of her, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but then her resolve hardened.

Disorder began below the city walls.

The sudden counterattack of the insects made some warriors feel desperate. They dropped their weapons and, like a group of fleeing hamsters, ran towards the camp.

Fear was breeding.

However, even if these warriors abandoned resistance, they still couldn’t escape the insects’ attacks. In fact, turning their backs to the enemy only hastened their demise!

"I must fight!"

Xu Hongzhuang took a deep breath, slowly opening her palm, clenching so tightly her knuckles turned white.

Xu Zhe stood beside her, his face slightly angry, and said in a heavy voice, "You are the commander here. If anything happens to you, the entire city will truly fall!"

"You can’t go!"

Xu Hongzhuang shook her head, looking at the rampaging insects: "If we don’t fight, it’ll be too late!"

"Why are you so foolish!" Xu Zhe’s voice trembled slightly, clearly, the person she served was the opposite of herself in temperament.

"I have to fight!"

Xu Hongzhuang stood at the edge of the city wall, one step away from falling down, but her expression remained determined: "I can’t hide atop the walls!"

"How can I watch as my subordinates are slaughtered, yet face it calmly myself?"

"Whoosh!"

One step forward.

Xu Hongzhuang seemed to fall off a cliff, descending rapidly to the ground.

Such a height couldn’t harm her.

Countless people’s courage was shaken; warriors, adventurers, healers, in the face of this desperation, no one cared for the city’s safety, it was instinct, they just wanted to escape the disaster as quickly as possible. Only Xu Hongzhuang forsook safety and charged resolutely onto the battlefield.

She was the avenger.

Now was the time to fight.

She vowed to kill these monsters that brought her grief.

A glimmer of brilliance emerged.

The longsword in her hand turned milky white, like it was emitting the power of light, rendering her so tall and resplendent.

The battle began.

The situation around became eerie.

The insects encountered resistance; a Silver Peak opposition, one that the insects could not stop even if they wanted to.

However!

Xu Hongzhuang was ultimately alone!

By now, the surrounding insects had surged in. Sensing the power emanating from Xu Hongzhuang, they encircled her, and as their numbers gathered, one Titan Stone Scorpion could no longer control its bloodlust, screeching as it charged at Xu Hongzhuang.

Clang!

At the moment of impact, Xu Hongzhuang instantly swung her blade.

A fine crack appeared on its forehead, and suddenly, the crack widened, then its head split like a watermelon, bursting apart, gray-white brain matter splattering everywhere, and even the two grotesque halves of its insect head hung crookedly on its neck, appearing pitifully gruesome...

Dead!

Blood spread.

The Silver Tier insect didn’t even last a round before dying under her blade.

A Phantom Dragon Mite silhouette appeared!

It seemed to want to challenge this formidable human, stepping forward little by little; this was a show of psychological intimidation.

But.

Xu Hongzhuang clearly disliked such slow-paced combat.

Lifting her right hand, she swung forward!

A silver-white light emerged, like a laser, and as the Sword Qi adhered to the insect’s body, it exploded instantly, its corpse scattering on the ground.

"Hisssss..."

The insects finally felt a degree of fear. They howled to the sky, as if rallying each other, making even the insects from afar heed the call, changing their offensive direction and converging toward Xu Hongzhuang.

The corpses on the ground increased.

Half an hour passed.

Xu Hongzhuang was struggling.

Even though she was at Silver Peak, in the face of such carnage, her strength had significantly waned, and now she was nearly exhausted.

Over a hundred insects were killed or wounded, giving the warriors some confidence. The Iron Demon Army, willing to die rather than retreat a step, continued fighting not far away.

They believed Xu Hongzhuang would bring them the miracle they hoped for.

But this time, perhaps they miscalculated...

A dragonfly-like monster, unnoticed at some point, fluttered to the center of the insects. Its eyes bore the emotions akin to human thought, and its body, a silvery-white, appeared as a fleeting gleam, making it nearly impossible to truly capture.

Ender Dragonfly.

The last of the five Insect Kings.

"Sasa..."

The sound of flapping wings was heard, as the Ghost-Face Mosquito King appeared on the other side at that moment. These two Silver Peak insects thus surrounded Xu Hongzhuang.

Compared to ordinary insects, these two Insect Kings clearly possessed some remarkable intelligence.

They sensed Xu Hongzhuang’s strength, a prowess that even incited some trepidation in them. Thus, they hid away patiently, awaiting the exhaustion of their opponent’s strength.

And now.

They found their opportunity.

A powerful human!

Eliminate them, and the city ahead will fall without a fight!

Just as Xu Hongzhuang staggered, having slain a few more insects, nearly falling due to exhaustion, the Ghost-Face Mosquito King lunged, its long proboscis stabbing towards her chest.

Swoosh!

An arrow shot through the darkness!

The Ghost-Face Mosquito King tried to evade upon sensing the arrow, but its ankle got hit, and one of its legs was severed clean off!

The Ghost-Face Mosquito King had Silver Peak strength, rendering ordinary weapons ineffective against it. Yet this arrow, of unknown material, heavily injured it in an instant.

The sound of running footsteps followed.

Thereafter, Xu Hongzhuang saw a group of Skeletons oozing cold determination charging forth, led by a bizarre creature the size of an infant. It was the first to plunge into the swarm, extending some tendrils from its mouth to entangle an insect, which soon became a dried corpse.

"This is..."

"Order’s Skeleton Warriors!"

The Undead Species reveal themselves!

Behind the Skeleton Warriors were ranks of resolute warriors wielding weapons, like an iron torrent instantly slicing into the insect army.

Then came the appearances of various professionals, with assassins slipping into shadows, poison-tipped daggers plunging into enemies’ bodies, and Elemental Masters concentrating their energies, preparing to deliver fatal magical blows.

The power of the Dark Department surged forth, with Lu Wei’s eyes shrouded in the aura of death. In despair, he chose the Blood Sacrifice.

He had pleaded to the heavens countless times, willing to dedicate his life to anyone granting him power.

Lu Wei was not a man of words, but he had secretly vowed that any command from his master would be his utmost endeavor!

A crimson-grey hue emerged on the Curse Seal, creeping upward from his feet until his cheeks were enveloped by this pattern.

In mere seconds, he gathered the Devil’s power across his entire being.

His brow bones protruded, his skin turned ashen brown, and most terrifyingly, his pupils lost their white, now entirely black.

Decay.

Lu Wei was akin to the winter that withers all things, exuding an aura of terrifying power.

He extended his ten fingers.

White streaks tore through the sky, with a piercing whistle, shooting toward the insects like meteors chasing the moon.

Ten bone fingers shot out from his palms instantly; this was the Bone Demon’s ability, inherited by Lu Wei after acquiring its bloodline.

"Swish swish swish!"

The insects were entirely unprepared. In a flash, their bodies were pierced through, the bone fingers boasting extraordinary penetrating power. These insects only quivered slightly before their lives ended abruptly.

The attack didn’t stop.

Bone spikes emerged from Lu Wei’s body, and in an instant, he became a Bone Demon, the dense aura of death engulfing him more chilling than an ice cave.

Dance of Slaughter.

At that moment, Lu Wei was like a Grim Reaper of the night, slaughtering all insects blocking his path with bone spikes instantly.

But none of this was key to deciding victory!

What truly determined the outcome were the faintly visible figures amid the crowd.

Chen Feng. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He walked with a light step from the dark corner, standing before the insects.

Behind him, four powerful presences eagerly awaited, but these formidable beings seemed to suppress their strength, aiming to accentuate Chen Feng’s power.

Yet!

Despite suppression, the four figures remained immensely strong!

Especially the little girl in a hooded cloak, who looked at everything ahead without fear but rather licked her lips, like someone seeing grilled meat and ice cream, her eyes filled with hunger for food.

"Eat you..."

"Saruman..."

"Disgusting crawler!"

"May the clansmen protect!"

Their oaths spilled from their mouths. In an instant, these four formidable beings charged into the insect swarm like the world’s most terrifying cataclysm.

At this moment, Chen Feng was in high spirits, his entire face cloaked in a keen aura!

Shedding the lone-wolf identity, the Summoner was his greatest strength!

He was...

An onlooker at the end of days!
