171: Chapter 171 The Five Zerg Overlords, the Queen Takes Them Down!

Seeing two human God Generals descending from the sky and suddenly charging out to block her path,

the Swarm Queen gently raised her hand: "Swarm, drown them!"

Densely packed bugs from all directions immediately began to surround Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan immediately pulled his longbow to full draw, and countless arrows condensed from spiritual energy flew out!

With a burst of rapid-fire Explosive Arrows, hundreds of arrows flew out within seconds.

A series of crackling explosions rang out as the rain of Explosive Arrows detonated within the swarm; the thousands of bugs blocking the way were directly blown into countless fragments.

Legs, wings, and shells of various bugs flew everywhere, and green juice covered the entire ground.

As Gongsun Zan's rain of a hundred arrows cleared a path, Guan Yu, holding the green dragon crescent blade, took the lead and charged forward.

Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan moved one after the other.

On horseback, Guan Yu turned his face slightly, his gaze sweeping over his shoulder.

"General Gongsun, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

"General Guan, it is a pleasure!"

The two had no need for extra words; both were battle-hardened veterans who understood each other with just a glance.

Seeing the swarm blocking the path ahead, Guan Yu held his blade as green energy condensed around him, and he unleashed several strikes of Green Dragon Battle Qi.

Accompanied by what sounded like dragon roars, several streaks of green energy swept through the swarm.

The hard shells of the Army Ants cracked, bursting with green pulp.

Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan rode their warhorses, their hooves trampling over thousands of bug corpses.

The ground was uneven and treacherous, covered entirely in the mangled remains and slime of the bugs.

However, the number of bugs in the swarm seemed infinite; more and more gathered around them, trying to use their bodies to block Guan Yu and his companion.

Guan Yu slashed continuously, but the more bugs he killed, the more appeared.

He said with a solemn expression, "General Gongsun, these little bugs likely intend to exhaust our physical strength."

"General Guan is right. We must not get bogged down in battle! We should take the enemy general's head from amidst the ten thousand soldiers!"

As he spoke, Gongsun Zan spotted the Swarm Queen, who was surrounded like a moon by stars.

"General Guan!"

Gongsun Zan simply gave Guan Yu a look, and after speaking, he began to draw his bow and condense spiritual power.

Guan Yu immediately understood Gongsun Zan's intention; he brandished the green dragon crescent blade to clear the surrounding enemies for Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan concentrated his entire body's strength onto his longbow, and an arrow flashing with white light appeared.

Compared to those flashy, large-scale explosions, concentrating all energy into a single arrow was different.

The astonishing lethality produced by this energy compression looked simple and unadorned, but it harbored hidden killing intent.

The arrow was released!

The surrounding air was visibly torn apart.

The white-light arrow flew toward the Swarm Queen at supersonic speed.

Countless bugs along the way leaped up, attempting to use their bodies to block this single arrow.

However, this Void-Piercing Spiritual Arrow passed through the bodies of countless bugs like a needle, heading straight forward, unstoppable by any bug.

Just as the Swarm Queen was about to be pierced through by the arrow,

Clang!

A Hercules Beetle suddenly charged out from the swarm, using its horn to firmly block the Void-Piercing Arrow.

The friction between the horn and the Void-Piercing Arrow caused sparks to constantly fly outward.

The hard shell on the Hercules Beetle's long horn began to shatter, and cracks appeared.

Crack!

The horn on the Hercules Beetle's head shattered, but it had also successfully parried the Void-Piercing Arrow, preventing the Swarm Queen from being killed.

Although its horn was broken, the Hercules Beetle was seen biting into a nearby Army Ant.

It devoured the Army Ant's corpse in large gulps; after swallowing the flesh, the Hercules Beetle's broken horn began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gongsun Zan hadn't expected that the arrow he shot with all his might would be parried by a giant Hercules Beetle.

The size of this giant Hercules Beetle was equivalent to a two-story house.

Its eyes were blood-red, and it stared fixedly at Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan.

And above this monster's head, a line of text appeared.

[Golden Horned Bug King]

[Race: Zerg]

[Status: Zerg God General]

[Combat Power: Mid-stage Peak Realm]

But soon, Guan Yu discovered there was more than one.

From the nearby burrows, a second one, a third one... emerged.

[Silver Horned Bug King]

[Ripper Mantis]

[Colossal Tiger Beetle King]

[Serrated Reaper]

Five!

A total of five King Bugs at the Zerg God General level!

Guan Yu raised his head, looking at the swarm before him with a face full of disdain.

Gongsun Zan's brow furrowed.

"General Guan, I'm afraid this will be a tough fight!"

"General Gongsun, what kind of situation have you and I not seen in our lives? What is there to fear from a mere five King Bugs!"

Guan Yu's voice carried a sense of calm and indifference that was reassuring to hear.

"In any case, this is Guan's first battle; how can I fail to live up to my Lord's expectations of us?"

"General Guan is absolutely right!"

Gongsun Zan's expression became resolute.

He had experienced all sorts of battles in the past; although he had been summoned here to face the alien Zerg,

how could these ugly monsters scare them?

"General Guan, I will harass them while you look for an opportunity to hunt them down."

"No matter, General Gongsun, go ahead and hunt the Queen; I, Guan, will cut off the heads of these five King Bugs by myself."

How overbearing!

Guan Yu's words were filled with self-confidence.

Since they had finished discussing, no more words were needed.

The White Horse General, Gongsun Zan, immediately began to move in a guerrilla fashion, riding his white horse to bypass the five King Bugs.

Only Guan Yu was left in place.

Guan Yu confidently dismounted and returned his beloved horse to his storage space.

He gently stroked his long beard and planted the green dragon crescent blade on the ground.

"Come!"

The five King Bugs that had emerged saw Gongsun Zan riding his horse to flank them; among them, the Ripper Mantis immediately chased after Gongsun Zan.

Seeing this, Guan Yu showed his displeasure: "Insects, don't you dare leave!"

He slashed with his blade, and the dragon roar rose again.

The blade's edge swept out Battle Qi, directly blocking the Ripper Mantis's path.

The five King Bugs were clearly very dissatisfied; they let out a howl!

These bugs wouldn't talk to you about one-on-one duels.

The five King Bugs and countless small bugs immediately swarmed toward Guan Yu alone.

They didn't know anything about duels between generals.

They simply brought their subordinates and ganged up on him together.

Seeing the densely packed bugs and the five King Bugs of varying sizes, Guan Yu gave a cold snort.

He dodged the mantis blades while slaying the small bugs that lunged at him, all while having to avoid the charges of the Golden and Silver Horned King Bugs.

One man, facing the combined assault of five King Bugs and the swarm!

Meanwhile, Gongsun Zan, who had ridden away on his white horse, glanced back at Guan Yu.

"A true hero indeed! General Guan, I will certainly take that Swarm Queen's head."

On one side, Guan Yu was taking on five King Bugs by himself.

On the other side, Gongsun Zan spurred his horse to full speed, constantly firing Explosive Arrows as he wove through the swarm.

Looking at the ever-closer Swarm Queen,

Gongsun Zan shouted, "Die!"

He fired an arrow, which directly pierced through the Swarm Queen's heart!

[Global Announcement: A general of Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan has shot and killed the Swarm Queen!]

It's done!?

Gongsun Zan looked at the Swarm Queen lying before him with a face full of terror.

But the next announcement caused everyone to lose their composure.

[The Swarm Queen was attacked; a second Swarm Queen has been born!]
