Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Killer Bees (Three more Chapters)
When Monk Ben Yin and the others rushed over, they saw Zhi Ruo and several girls covered in injuries, frantically running towards them.
Above the sky, hundreds of giant bees, as large as buckets, were crazily pursuing them.
Each of the girls, including Zhi Ruo, was holding a Defensive Light Shield, but these shields seemed to have little effect against the bee stingers fired by the giant killer bees in the sky.
Zhi Ruo and the others’ Genetic Evolution Level was only at Primordial Gene Advanced. They hadn’t yet broken through to Enhanced Gene Primary Level. Yet, the killer bees in the sky were at the Enhanced Gene Intermediate, and each bee stinger launched carried tremendous power. A large group of such killer bees could compare to monsters of the Enhanced Gene Advanced.
Luckily, the girls were adept at Qinggong, which allowed them to dodge and weave, avoiding most of the bee stingers. But with the giant killer bees above, even though the girls possessed great martial arts skills, killing them was extremely difficult.
Defensive Light Shields and armor were pierced by the stingers, leaving speckles of blood all over the girls’ bodies.
Fortunately, they all had Detoxification Pills. They sprinted wildly, occasionally stopping to consume a Small Blood Pill and a Detoxification Pill, and occasionally leaping into the air to wildly slash at the killer bees with their swords.
The sharp Sword Qi often succeeded in cutting down the killer bees in mid-air. However, there were simply too many killer bees and since they were airborne, the girls could only fight while fleeing for their lives.
Monk Ben Yin, Zhang Hai, Lan Xin, and others rushed over and seeing the dense swarm of killer bees in the sky, were also shocked. Their martial arts could handle monsters on the ground, but were insufficient against the aerial killer bees; after all, they couldn’t possibly fly like the bees.
"Junior Sister Zhi Ruo, run quickly; we’ll cover for you for a while."
Monk Ben Yin roared angrily, leaped up more than twenty meters, and struck at the flying killer bees in mid-air with his palms.
Bodhi Zen Palm.
Two immense waves of Killing Aura burst forth.
With two muffled thumps, two giant killer bees shook and were blasted backward, vibrating before falling to the ground.
At that moment, Ben Guo’s Tiger Claw reached out to grab the killer bees from the air, producing a buzzing scream. Two killer bees were pierced through their bellies and fell to the ground.
The other monks wielded Longswords and Long spears, immediately creating sweeping Sword Qi which shredded through the sky. The killer bees that were hit by the Sword Qi were mostly either killed or injured.
On the side, Wudang’s Zhang Hai, Shenming Mountain Sect’s Lan Xin, and others wielding Longswords also produced Sword Qi, slashing towards the killer bees in mid-air.
Even from hundreds of meters away, Yang Xiao could feel the intense Killing Aura and was internally shaken by the powerful combat strength of these Cultivation Sects; truly extraordinary.
The killer bees were decimated by Monk Ben Yin and others’ attack, dozens dying or injured. With a buzzing sound, they all flew up to an altitude of forty or fifty meters, making it more difficult for everyone to strike them. Although they could still fight by jumping into the air, they were not as agile.
But after the initial panic, the killer bees regrouped to counter-attack, with a hundred or two killer bees firing their stingers towards the ground.
Everyone swung their weapons to block the incoming stingers while shouting:
"Everyone, run into the orange glow, we can’t hold on anymore."
At this point, Zhi Ruo and a few other Emei Sect girls had begun running towards the Genetic Store.
Just then, a gust of wind whipped up a hundred-meter high column of sand in the sky, changing the color of the heavens and earth.
Monk Ben Yin shouted:
"Not good, the Sand Demon has appeared, run!"
Everyone could no longer afford to fend off the killer bees, unleashing their Qinggong, and flew towards the Genetic Store.
Yang Xiao, riding the Flame Horse, stood inside the orange glow, watching nervously.
The Sand Demon was still several hundred meters away from everyone. Monk Ben Yin and others, using their Qinggong, quickly rushed into the orange glow. Everyone was panting and exclaimed, "That was close."
Just then, a female disciple from the Emei Sect shouted:
"Oh no, we’ve lost sight of our Sister Zhi Ruo."
Everyone was stunned; wasn’t she there just a moment ago? How could she disappear?
Someone suddenly pointed to the ground over a hundred meters away and said:
"Junior Sister Zhi Ruo has fallen to the ground."
It turns out that Senior Sister Zhi Ruo from Emei Sect had been leading her fellow disciples in a desperate escape, bravely fending off multiple attacks from the killer bees, suffering the most severe injuries. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, she had run out of Detoxification Pills.
The stingers of the killer bees are poisonous.
Just now, when the Sand Demon appeared, the scene was chaotic, and everyone was only concerned with escaping. No one noticed that Zhi Ruo, exhausted, had fallen to the ground.
At this moment, the Sand Demon in the distance was approaching step by step, and the sky was filled with a strong oppressive force.
A female disciple from the Emei Sect immediately rushed out but was pulled back by Lan Xin.
"Running out now is suicide. Even if you reach Senior Sister Zhi Ruo, you won’t be able to make it back here. The Sand Demon is already too close."
"But we can’t just abandon Senior Sister Zhi Ruo. She fought to the death to save us many times along the way."
"Senior Sister Zhi Ruo! Please stand up!"
"Senior Sister Zhi Ruo!"
...
Several female disciples from the Emei Sect cried loudly, sobbing and calling out.
Monk Ben Yin and Zhang Hai exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Zhi Ruo was about a hundred meters away from here, and the Sand Demon was less than two hundred meters away from Zhi Ruo. They really had no confidence that they could pull Zhi Ruo back.
They had fought the Sand Demon before; the last encounter resulted in the death of three disciples, and since then, they had never challenged the Sand Demon.
Everyone at the scene felt a wave of sadness. After all, Zhi Ruo was one of the top forces in the Emei Sect, and everyone had known each other for a long time. No one wanted to lose such a friend.
In the post-apocalyptic world, very few people from the martial arts community had survived, and each one was precious.
Amidst the mourning, a red cloud burst out.
Everyone’s first reaction was:
"Who?"
When they looked again, they only saw a blurred figure.
Monk Ben Yin exclaimed:
"It’s Yang Xiao, Master Yang!"
"Wow, this guy is fast!"
Zhang Hai opened his mouth wide, amazed.
Everyone was stunned. There was dead silence at the scene, and their hearts were pounding violently as they stared at Yang Xiao, anxiously anticipating a miracle.
Yang Xiao, riding the Flame Horse, moved swiftly like the wind and lightning, and instantly reached where Zhi Ruo had fallen. Since Yang Xiao’s Flame Horse was three meters tall and Zhi Ruo was lying on the grass, he couldn’t possibly pick her up in one motion.
Yang Xiao dismounted, picked up Zhi Ruo, and then instantly jumped back onto the Flame Horse.
At this moment, thunderous roars came from the sky, and a gigantic hand covering the sky aimed a slap at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao slapped the Flame Horse’s behind,
"Run, brother!"
