Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen stood on the top of a big tree, performing water invisibility techniques and looking at the huge swarm of insects. He roughly estimated that the number was no less than 500,000, while Blackrock City had only 20,000 soldiers. The gap was too big, and they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long under the repeated attacks.

But Zhang Chen had no other choice but to pray that Sima Feng would be safe and escape in time even after the swarm of insects broke into the city. At the same time, he asked Xiaobai to dig a passage in the forest that led to a place several hundred meters away, so that he would have a way to retreat in case he was chased by the swarm of insects.

Three days passed quickly. Zhang Chen tried to get as close to Black Rock City as possible to observe and found that the resistance of Black Rock City was getting weaker and weaker. The swarm even attacked the city wall several times.

By the evening of the fourth day, the cooperation between the flying insect beasts and the ground insect beasts became more mature, making it very difficult for Black Rock City to resist, and the soldiers had to start close combat with the insect swarm.

At this moment, several Foundation Establishment cultivators, led by Lu Chuan, actually retreated on their swords, taking many cultivators with them. This caused chaos among the soldiers in the city, and their morale was severely damaged. Under the fierce attack of the insect swarm, they immediately collapsed, their defenses were breached, and they broke into the city directly.

After seeing Lu Chuan and others escape, the remaining monks also used their magical powers to run for their lives, no longer caring about resisting the insect attacks.

Sima Feng looked at the shattered defense and knew that the situation was hopeless. After cursing Lu Chuan and others for a few words, he could only start preparing to break out towards the weak points of the insect swarm.

The city was in chaos, with soldiers fleeing everywhere, but the insect swarm seemed to value the monks more. Lu Chuan and others fled on their swords, which instead attracted a large number of flying insects and beasts to chase them.

The same was true in the city, where the monks were given special care. Sima Feng discovered that when he and a fellow disciple fled separately, the swarm would only chase the other person and abandon him.

Sima Feng thought it was a coincidence once, but after it happened several times, Sima Feng understood that these insect swarms cared more about cultivators with spiritual energy.

Sima Feng smiled bitterly upon seeing this, he really wanted to possess spiritual energy and embark on the path of cultivating immortals, but he didn't expect that this time the swarm of insects would not pay attention to him because he had no spiritual energy. He didn't know whether he should be fortunate or unfortunate.

So he put on a soldier's clothes and ran out of the city with many soldiers. With his excellent skills and maces in hand, he hit several insects and beasts with one blow, breaking their bones and tendons. They could not stop him for a while, and Sima Feng soon rushed to the edge of the forest and was about to break out of the encirclement.

Zhang Chen saw all this from a tree in the distance and looked excited. Although he was far away, there was no doubt that the figure was Sima Feng.

So he led Xiaobai and ran towards Sima Feng, ready to meet him.

Sima Feng's bravery also attracted the attention of a queen insect. Immediately, countless swarms of insects surrounded Sima Feng, and hundreds of flying insect beasts also took off and flew towards Sima Feng.

Sima Feng's face looked a little ugly at this time. He saw that the forest was less than a hundred meters ahead. Normally, it would only take a few breaths to cross it, but now it seemed like a natural chasm that was difficult to cross.

Looking at the insects and beasts that were constantly surrounding him from behind, Sima Feng clenched the mace in his hand, took a deep breath, shouted "Ah", and rushed towards the swarm of insects in front, waving the mace left and right, killing or injuring the insects and beasts that were hit. This allowed Sima Feng to rush forward another fifty meters.

Sima Feng was breathing heavily as he kept swinging the mace, which consumed a lot of his strength. Now his hands were numb, his arms were blood red, and they were aching slightly. It was obvious that he could not hold on any longer, but the insect beasts kept attacking, and Sima Feng did not dare to stop, otherwise he would be immediately overwhelmed by the insect swarm.

Soon there was a buzzing sound in the air. Sima Feng looked up and saw hundreds of flying insects and beasts flying towards him, with a look of madness on his face.

"Come on, let grandpa kill as many as you want."

Sima Feng panted heavily and stuck his mace on the ground. The swarm of insects on the ground did not attack at this time. The flying insects in the air immediately swooped down, their wings passing through the air, making a humming sound.

Zhang Chen had already arrived at the forest opposite Sima Feng. He used the water-hiding technique and continued to move towards Sima Feng. Xiaobai stayed behind and hid, ready to respond at any time.

At this time, Sima Feng looked at the swooping insect beasts, shouted, swung the mace with both hands, turned around a few times, and swung it with force. The mace hit the diving flying insect beasts hard. The leading few saw the fast-coming maces and could not dodge in time. They were hit immediately, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant. The flying insect beasts in the back rows were stimulated and immediately stopped diving and began to fly upwards.

The few at the back were unable to dodge and collided with the flying insects in front. They all fell from the sky and died. The rest were in a panic and flew high again, ready to dive and attack again.

Sima Feng laughed out loud upon seeing this, and looked at the insects and beasts that were attacking from all around with sharp eyes, not afraid at all. However, his hands that kept shaking slightly also proved that he was weak at the moment.

Looking at the insect beast attacking him, Sima Feng still stood proudly. There was no fear in his eyes, but there was a hint of regret.

"Dad, Mom, Sister, I'm coming down to accompany you."

Sima Feng closed his eyes. At this moment, he wanted to recall his family again.

"Come on, brother."

A loud shout exploded in Sima Feng's ears, bringing his thoughts back.

At the same time, he saw a sword beam slashing out in front of him, and instantly a dozen insect beasts closest to him began to bleed all over and fell to the ground.

Zhang Chen's figure immediately appeared, and he swung out several sword beams, instantly clearing out the insects and beasts within five meters around Sima Feng.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I knew you were okay."

Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen who appeared with a look of surprise on his face.

"Now is not the time to talk, let's leave first."

Zhang Chen knew that this was not the time to talk, so a fireball and ice cone appeared in his hand, and they collided directly. A thick fog appeared and quickly enveloped the two of them.

"Hold me now."

Zhang Chen said something to Sima Feng, and after Sima Feng hugged him, he immediately used his skills to rush forward. Before the insect swarm could react, he dodged left and right and soon arrived at the forest.

The swarm of insects came to their senses at this moment, and immediately turned around and chased after the two people. The insect queen also discovered the abnormality here, and more insects joined the pursuit. Another group of flying insect beasts flew up and rushed over.

Zhang Chen didn't dare to continue using his skills. The spiritual energy consumed by Sima Feng doubled. So he took Sima Feng with him and ran towards the passage that Xiaobai had dug before, which came in handy at this moment.

Just as the swarm of insects chased into the forest, they saw a white shadow attacking. With one swipe of its tail, it killed dozens of insect beasts. Then Xiaobai rushed directly into the swarm of insects, charging around and causing chaos.

Xiaobai did not go deep into the insect swarm. He quickly turned around and chased Zhang Chen. He also crashed into dozens of large trees on the way, blocking the insect swarm's pursuit.
