304: The Destruction of Swallowtail Valley

While Qin Shilei dodged the attacks of the locust-like Illusion Sound Butterflies, he searched for the Golden Realm Illusion Sound Butterflies among them.

"It's you."

His gaze suddenly Lock-Oned onto a small, thin Golden Realm Illusion Sound Butterfly in the upper right corner.

Teleport!

His figure suddenly appeared behind that Illusion Sound Butterfly.

Lightning Chain Slash!

A cold light flashed, and after letting out a miserable shriek, the Illusion Sound Butterfly fell into Divine Power Stiffening, plummeting vertically towards the ground.

Qin Shilei controlled the phantom to chase after it, flying down, his energy longsword continuously slashing at it.

Before the latter could even hit the ground, it had already died.

After killing this Illusion Sound Butterfly, he teleported again, appearing behind another Golden Realm Illusion Sound Butterfly.

Following the same method, in less than three seconds, he killed it in mid-air.

Soon, the surrounding Illusion Sound Butterflies all discovered the phantom's powerful sneak attack ability.

As a result, all the Golden Illusion Sound Butterflies gathered together to counter the phantom's sneak attacks.

"Since you've gathered, then try my area attack."

The phantom teleported above the group of Illusion Sound Butterflies, forming a hand seal to cast Devouring Thunder, unleashing it upon the beasts below.

"Overhead."

These Illusion Sound Butterflies simultaneously raised various protective shields and launched various attacks at the phantom.

Although the Devouring Thunder's attack power was not weak, it could not instantly kill Golden Beasts.

The phantom could withstand the damage from a single Illusion Sound Butterfly, but with over twenty Illusion Sound Butterflies attacking together, the phantom could not hold out.

Helpless, Qin Shilei had no choice but to control the phantom to Thunder Escape again.

Once his figure was revealed, it would immediately draw endless attacks.

The situation seemed to have been reversed; not only was Qin Shilei unable to kill any more Golden Realm Illusion Sound Butterflies, but he was also bombarded by countless ordinary Illusion Sound Butterflies led by them.

"Damn it, you wouldn't really think I have no way to deal with you, would you?"

Qin Shilei hardened his heart, once again controlling the phantom to teleport next to the nearest Golden Illusion Sound Butterfly.

"Go to hell!"

He launched a furious assault on it.

Under the effect of Divine Power Stiffening, that Illusion Sound Butterfly couldn't react at all and was quickly cut into pieces.

However, the phantom, completely exposed to the many Illusion Sound Butterflies, turned into foam and vanished into thin air under their focused attack.

"I'll be back!"

Qin Shilei left this mischievous remark, and this part of his consciousness returned to his main body.

In Phoenix Butterfly Valley, those Illusion Sound Butterflies all showed expressions of relief upon seeing that the hateful invader had finally been killed.

The remaining twenty-three Golden Realm Illusion Sound Butterflies were all gathered in the palace inside the ancient tree.

They were discussing the aftermath of the attack on Phoenix Butterfly Valley, and as they talked, the conversation shifted to the Frost Insect Emperor.

"Do you think something might have happened to the Frost Insect Emperor?"

"The Insect Emperor is an invincible existence; it's impossible for anything to happen to it."

"The Insect Emperor disappeared while tracking that phantom; now that phantom has reappeared, I'm afraid..."

"Impossible, we were all able to kill that phantom; it could never harm Lord Insect Emperor."

"I have a feeling that guy isn't dead yet; he'll be back."

"Silence, no more spreading such nonsense."

Just as its words fell, panicked shouts suddenly came from outside.

These Illusion Sound Butterflies immediately rushed out of the ancient tree and discovered that the phantom, which they had supposedly killed, was now holding a sword and mercilessly slaughtering the lower-tier Illusion Sound Butterflies.

"You hateful fellow, let's go!"

One of the elders roared and charged forward.

"Good timing!"

Qin Shilei was just wondering how to find these Golden Beasts; this was exactly what he wanted.

In less than a minute, the many Illusion Sound Butterflies shattered the phantom again.

However, they showed no joy.

Not only had two of their companions died as a result, but it was also due to the phantom's renewed attack.

"Do you think he'll come again?"

"The phantom just now was purely composed of energy; his main body is probably unharmed, so he will definitely come again."

Upon hearing this, the remaining twenty-one Golden Illusion Sound Butterflies all turned pale, falling into endless fear.

"What should we do?"

"Should we send out all the insects to find and kill his main body?"

"That's one way, but if even the Insect Emperor couldn't kill him, it might not be easy for us either."

"Now we can only find his main body first; then we'll have a chance to kill him completely."

"While searching for his main body, we must also hide well and never reappear, lest we be killed again by his life-for-life tactic."

"Yes, let's disperse now and hide ourselves."

However, what they didn't expect was that their every move was now under Qin Shilei's gaze.

After learning that there was no second Platinum Realm Illusion Sound Butterfly in Phoenix Butterfly Valley, Qin Shilei once again used the Concealment Array to become invisible and returned to Phoenix Butterfly Valley.

He did this to note down the locations of the Golden Realm Beasts within it, so he wouldn't have to search for them again every time he sent the phantom over.

Although he couldn't understand the words of those Illusion Sound Butterflies, he secretly memorized their locations.

Half an hour later.

As soon as the phantom appeared, it rushed directly towards the treehouse not far to the right.

Ten seconds later, the phantom flashed out of the treehouse, and at the same time, a sharp alarm sounded in Phoenix Butterfly Valley.

Numerous ordinary Illusion Sound Butterflies once again flew into the air, surrounding the phantom.

However, the phantom was extremely fast; even without teleporting, it could easily evade these weak Illusion Sound Butterflies.

In less than a minute, it killed another Golden Beast.

"At all costs, focus fire!"

An elder of Phoenix Butterfly Valley, hidden in the shadows, shouted to its subordinates.

Its command was quickly relayed to every Illusion Sound Butterfly.

Instantly, countless attacks furiously bombarded the area where the phantom appeared.

Countless giant trees were reduced to dust, and the ground was blown into deep craters.

Under the dense attacks of innumerable Illusion Sound Butterflies, even the incredibly defensive Vajra might not be able to withstand it.

But all of this was trivial in front of the phantom, which possessed Teleport and Thunder Escape.

With a thought, his figure appeared at the other end of Phoenix Butterfly Valley.

Before those Illusion Sound Butterflies could approach again, he had already killed another Golden Beast.

Following the same method, in less than ten minutes, five more Golden Beasts were slain by his sword.

The Illusion Sound Butterflies hidden in the shadows were completely panicked.

They couldn't understand why the phantom could always accurately find their hiding places.

They couldn't win in a fight, and they couldn't hide.

There was only one option left: flee!

First, a Golden Three-star Illusion Sound Butterfly quietly flew out of its hiding place, blended in with the many ordinary Illusion Sound Butterflies, and then quietly flew towards the outside of Phoenix Butterfly Valley.

However, this scene was just seen by Qin Shilei in mid-air.

Thunder Escape!

Qin Shilei instantly caught up with this Illusion Sound Butterfly and killed it with a few strikes of his sword.

Then, more and more Golden Illusion Sound Butterflies flew out of their hiding places, beginning a desperate escape.

To save their lives, they even ordered the ordinary Illusion Sound Butterflies to scatter and flee as well.

Qin Shilei and the phantom chased them in different directions for a while, but ultimately, due to the sheer number of Illusion Sound Butterflies, it became difficult to find the Golden Beasts mixed among them, so they had to give up.

In this battle, a total of nineteen Golden Illusion Sound Butterflies were killed, plus the three killed before coming to Phoenix Butterfly Valley, making a total of twenty-two.

Only seven managed to escape Phoenix Butterfly Valley.

These Illusion Sound Butterflies that escaped Phoenix Butterfly Valley probably wouldn't dare to appear in the vicinity again for a long time.
