Those who reincarnate must die.

Seeing the sheer force of the insect swarm, the Dugu siblings couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over...

"Impossible..." Dugu Chen's lips turned blue: "We can't possibly stop this swarm of insects. It will engulf this entire city in an instant..."

"Brother, what should we do?" Even the usually fearless Dugu Lan was deathly pale.

"There's no other way..." Dugu Chen turned and grabbed his sister's hand, then ran down the city wall, led over a warhorse, and helped his sister onto its back: "Get out of the city quickly, don't look back, just run towards Star City, hurry!"

"And what about you, bro?"

"I'll stay and fight back, even if it delays us a little longer! You hurry up and leave!" Dugu Chen said through gritted teeth.

"How can that be!" Dugu Lan naturally objected. "Brother, we go together!"

"I can't leave!" Dugu Chen roared. "I started this whole thing. If I leave, won't these soldiers have died in vain?"

"Then I won't leave either!" Dugu Lan said stubbornly.

"Listen to me!" Dugu Chen's eyes were red. "I shouldn't have let you come along in the first place!"

As the two were arguing, shouts suddenly came from the city wall. Turning around, they saw a large number of insects crawling up the wall. The city wall, which was only two or three zhang high, was no match for the frenzied swarm of insects. The two thousand soldiers on the city wall were like mantises trying to stop a chariot; they were instantly defeated and torn apart by the insects. It was clear that a large number of insects were about to flood into the city, slaughtering livestock, trampling houses, and overturning and trampling the grain that had been painstakingly stored. They were heading straight for the brother and sister!

"There's no escape!" Dugu Chen gritted his teeth, his muscles bulged, his skin turned purplish-red, and he swung his crescent-shaped broadsword at the fastest-charging insect, slashing it head-on!

With a snap, the blade swept across the mantis monster's waist, and using the momentum of their charge, it cut the monster in two!

At the same time, her younger sister, Dugu Lan, took out a short bow and fired three arrows in quick succession, each one hitting the head of an insect accurately!

The brother and sister fought their way back. Although the swarm of insects was large, many were dispersed as they slaughtered the soldiers on the city walls and the livestock that were fleeing in all directions. The Dugu siblings, relying on the houses inside the city, maneuvered against the swarm in the alleys, managing to survive and even killing about ten mantis monsters in the process!

However, the siblings' activity quickly attracted the attention of a high-level insect. A purple-gold war insect appeared on the roof, darted up from a distance, and pounced on the two of them!

"Damn it!" Dugu Chen noticed the monster, immediately pushed his sister aside, and raised his broadsword to prepare to fight back!

Just then, a heavy, armor-piercing arrow whistled through the giant insect's shell, piercing it directly and pinning it to the ground with a thud!

This scene allowed the brother and sister to catch them completely red-handed!

This arrow didn't target any vital organs; instead, it struck the Purple-Gold War Insect's toughest breastplate, piercing through it effortlessly! What kind of arrow was this? And what kind of bow could fire such a shot? Even a ballista probably wouldn't have such power!

Just as they were in shock, several arrows suddenly flew by like lightning, hitting several of the chasing mantis monsters. Every time an arrow passed by, no matter where it hit, it would pierce the monster in two with a "thud"!

One of the arrows fell at Dugu Lan's feet. Upon closer inspection, the arrowhead was not an ordinary pointed one, but rather had three curved blades that spun rapidly as they struck the monster. There were obvious signs of breakage, and the intact blades should have been even longer!

These arrows were far less accurate than Dugu Lan's, but in terms of both speed and power, they far surpassed Dugu Lan's! Not to mention the short bow in her hand, even the three-stone bow left in the city could not achieve the same effect!

The brother and sister turned their heads and saw a large man holding a longbow, aiming at them from the rooftop of a two-story building in the distance!

"It's... a hunter!"

Although they had only met once a few days ago, the brother and sister recognized the man at a glance—a man whose silence carried a hint of arrogance! Indeed, to be called a hero of Sunset Fortress, this guy certainly had some skills!

But these few arrows were not enough to stop the surging insect nest. As more and more insects surrounded them, the brother and sister's desperate situation remained unchanged!

Seeing the increasing number of insects, Zhang Lang frowned, put away the bow and arrows on his arm, and leaped down, charging into the swarm of insects!

At the same time, the Dugu siblings keenly noticed that the insects that were originally chasing them suddenly changed their targets and rushed towards the place where Zhang Lang landed!

Clearly, that man had attracted the insects' hatred!

He was alone? In the densest part of the insects? He was surely going to die...

Before the two could even express their feelings, they heard a series of explosions not far away, and at the same time, a large number of insect limbs and broken legs flew into the air, as if there was a meat grinder there, attracting countless insects and grinding them into mincemeat!

"What's going on?" This scene was beyond the comprehension of the brother and sister, and just then, an even greater crisis was about to unfold!

A giant centipede monster rolled over the city wall and crawled directly towards Zhang Lang!

Just as the centipede was only a few dozen meters away from the "meat grinder," a figure suddenly shot out from among the scattered insect corpses and crashed headfirst into the centipede monster's third body segment. With a loud bang, it pierced through the centipede, bringing with it fragments of its carapace and splattered juices!

This is the centipede monster's nerve center, its vital point; destroying it will be fatal!

"Brother... I didn't see wrong, did I..." Dugu Lan's eyes were wide open, and she swallowed hard. "That just now... was it a person... really, single-handedly, killing the giant centipede monster?"

"You saw it too?" Dugu Chen looked at her younger sister beside her. "I thought I was hallucinating."

While the brother and sister were still in shock, the remaining centipedes rolled over the city wall and rushed into the fortified city, including the extra-large centipede monster!

These enormous things even crushed the city walls, sending dust flying with a whoosh!

Then look at Zhang Lang, who actually charged directly at those centipedes, using the same trick again. With his powerful strength, he leaped back and forth between the centipede monsters and the city wall, striking vital points with bangs. One of the blows was so strong that it even cut one of the centipede monsters in half in mid-air!

At this point, only the evolved giant centipede remained in the swarm!

Upon seeing this one, Zhang Lang smiled and exclaimed, "Great! There really are more!"

With that, he dashed up, clenched his fists and stretched them forward, like Superman, and plunged headfirst into the giant centipede monster's mouth, crawling into its body through its mouthparts!

Something entered the giant centipede's body, and it immediately began to writhe. But suddenly, its third segment swelled violently, its carapace shattered, and a large amount of fluid seeped out. Its heavy body crashed to the ground with a thud, crushing many insects to death...
