Fang Qinyu looked at Fang Qingshan stubbornly. “Father, I can’t leave you alone. If you don’t leave, I won’t leave.”
Faced with such a stubborn woman, Fang Qingshan had no choice but to leave.
At this moment, Gu Xi was standing not far away, watching the small group of Winged Golden Black Bugs that had sneaked in. The bugs sensed his gaze, and they reacted as if they had seen a natural enemy. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared without a trace, and he actually saw a hint of panic.
He looked thoughtfully at the sky above him.
Just as everyone was concerned about Fang Qingshan’s consolation, no one noticed that the swarm of bugs that had surrounded the area above their heads had actually stopped for a moment.
However, in the next second, the swarm suddenly grew more and more numerous.
The swarm of bugs seemed to have been stimulated by something, and the sound of them gnawing and flapping their wings could be heard incessantly, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
“Why did these insects suddenly get so agitated?!”
They had clearly not launched an attack, but now even the defensive mechanism of the formation was ineffective. The weakest part of the formation was finally broken through.
Crack–
The crowd heard the sound of something breaking. Fang Qingshan’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
“Run!”
Before they could react, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the formation, and then quickly spread out like a spider web.
However, in an instant, the Mountain Defense Formation completely collapsed. There was no resistance, and everyone was exposed to the swarm of insects.
Above their heads were countless densely packed Winged Golden Black Bugs. They could even feel the cold wind from their flapping wings. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and goosebumps appeared on their skin.
Fang Qingshan made a prompt decision. “I’ll cover your retreat. You guys hurry up and leave!”
Originally, the Mountain Defense Formation could still hold on for a while, giving them some time. No one had expected this group of Winged Golden Black Bugs to suddenly go crazy and destroy the Mountain Defense Formation in a short while.
Fang Qinyu was pulled back by the other big brothers and sisters, but even so, she could not catch up to the speed of the Winged Golden Black Bugs.
Fang Qingshan’s eyes were bright, and he was ready to sacrifice himself.
Countless spiritual power burst out from his body, turning into blazing flames. The tongues of flames shot up to the sky, carrying a majestic pressure, like a God born from the flames.
Even so, facing the overwhelming tide of insects, he still looked small. He was like a candle in the wind, in danger of being extinguished at any time.
“No!”
Seeing Fang Qingshan go up to him, Fang Qinyu burst out with a heart-wrenching cry, “Stay away!”
At this critical moment, Fang Qingshan did not expect another person to come to his side.
“Tower Master Fang, maybe I be of assistance.”
After seeing clearly who it was, Fang Qingshan was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off, “You?”
It was actually Gu Xi. He did not know why he came to join in the fun at this time.
No matter what his intentions were, the anger in Fang Qingshan’s heart had dissipated a lot after he had lured Fang Qinyu to steal the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew.
“So what if you’re here? Even I don’t have the confidence, let alone the fact that you’ve lost all your cultivation base. You’re just sending yourself to your death.”
Gu Xi’s expression was indifferent. “If that’s the case, you’ll die anyway. Why don’t you let me try?”
Fang Qingshan was instantly rendered speechless by his words. Looking at Gu Xi’s calm and composed appearance, it was as if there weren’t a swarm of insects in front of him, but just a few small insects.
Fang Qingshan admired Gu Xi’s magnanimity. If Gu Xi had not done those things, he might have been allowed to recuperate in Moyu Tower.
The black clouds pressed down on Moyu Tower, formed by tens of thousands of Winged Golden Black Bugs. The Insect Tide came menacingly, almost enveloping Gu Xi.
Just as Fang Qingshan was about to attack, he felt a force of retreat, pushing him back.
Strangely enough, the swarm of bugs surrounded Gu Xi, but they did not run in any other direction, nor did they attack anyone.
In just a moment, the swarm of bugs had wrapped Gu Xi tightly. From afar, it looked like a huge black cocoon.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
“What’s going on?”
One had to know that all living creatures were treated equally by the Winged Golden Black Bugs. There had never been a situation where the bugs only circled around a single target.
“Could it be that this kid’s flesh is exceptionally sweet?”
“With so many Winged Golden Black Bug, I’m afraid he doesn’t even have any bones left.”
No one knew what was happening within the black cocoon.
Everyone took advantage of this opportunity to quietly leave. Fang Qingshan, on the other hand, had a complicated expression on his face. Gu Xi must have pushed him just now. He was prepared to give it his all and did not even plan to leave alive. However, he did not expect Gu Xi to do such a thing.
Fang Qinyu was stunned on the spot, but she quickly reacted. “Big Brother Gu!”
If Fang Qingshan had not pulled her back in time, she would have rushed over by now. “Qinyu, stop messing around.”
“But Big Brother Gu is still inside. Father, we can’t just leave him to die.”
Fang Qinyu’s tears were streaming down her face, and Fang Qingshan’s expression was unprecedentedly grim.
“Even if you go over now, I’m afraid that it’s too late for him. Don’t tell me you want all of us to suffer along with him? You don’t want his sacrifice to be in vain, do you?”
Fang Qinyu’s face was pale, but she did not say anything in the end.
Just as everyone was about to escape, the swarm of insects dispersed like Moses parting the sea, revealing the figure inside.
Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Fang Qinyu was so happy that she cried, “Big Brother Gu!”
Gu Xi was actually unharmed. Although the Winged Golden Black Bugs were circling around him, none of them approached him.
However, what happened next was something that everyone would never forget for the rest of their lives.
A Winged Golden Black Bug flew out from the swarm of bugs and stopped in front of Gu Xi.
Everyone could not help but gasp. “This Winged Golden Black Bug is a little too big.”
