The sword went out, and the person followed, all in an instant.
A wound was torn open on the gigantic creature, silvery liquid gushing out and splashing everywhere as the giant insect struggled.
Countless dead insects caught in the spray didn't even have time to scream before dissolving into dust under the silvery liquid.
Jiang Wen showed no joy or sorrow, his eyes fixed on the giant before him.
To him, this creature, nearly a hundred meters in size, was nothing much.
Even without a proper weapon, only this hastily refined flying sword, killing this thing was as easy as turning his hand.
"斩!" Jiang Wen said coldly, the flying sword striking the giant insect like a beam of light.
The giant insect opened its mouth and shrieked, emitting a terrifying sonic wave.
But before the sonic wave could finish, the flying sword had already pierced through its forelimb.
Like a hot knife through butter, the giant pincers, nearly a hundred meters long, were severed by the flying sword.
They crashed to the ground with a deafening roar, sending dust and dirt flying everywhere.
The giant insect seemed panicked, adjusting its body and spraying countless streams of liquid at the incoming flying sword.
But the flying sword was extremely fast and its target small, so even as the giant insect struggled, it was found and a huge hole was pierced through its head.
Visibly, the giant insect's body seemed to be torn apart by something, silver blood gushing out from wounds that suddenly burst open everywhere.
The giant insect fell from the sky to the ground, writhing in agony like a dying grasshopper, desperately twitching its limbs.
It even tried to move its body and escape, but no matter how much it struggled, the flying sword pierced through its body from all directions.
Only when the giant insect was as tattered as a rag did Jiang Wen recall his flying sword.
The swarm of dead insects seemed frightened by this scene and ceased their attack.
As if hearing some command, they all flew away in another direction.
All the dead insects converged into a black river, covering the sky.
Jiang Wen narrowed his eyes, looking at the dead insects.
Behind the swarm, he faintly saw a slender, golden insect shadow.
"It seems it's finally unwilling to continue wasting its energy. Just as I thought."
Jiang Wen watched the swarm escort the golden insect shadow away, not intending to pursue it.
After all, continuing the pursuit wouldn't be a good thing for him.
He had been protecting the formation for many days, and even the nascent soul in his Qi Sea had withered considerably.
Now, venturing deep into the swarm would only be fraught with danger; he wasn't so reckless.
The reason he woke up and took action at this time was precisely because he had detected an abnormality in the swarm, understanding what these insects were thinking.
Clearly, whatever controlled such a massive swarm must have a leader or a mother.
The silver giant insect dared to charge the formation, which meant it was definitely not the leader of the dead insect swarm.
From his secret observations over the past few days, he had noticed that the swarm's attack rhythm was getting faster and faster.
Obviously, something was making these insects wary, forcing them to accelerate their assault on the base.
It was just a pity that their thinking was flawed; even sending out the silver giant insect, a mid-tier powerhouse, couldn't end the frontal battle.
There were definitely not many of these silver giant insects in the swarm; most of them were protecting the leader.
Sending out a general like this also indicated that the swarm had reached its limit.
Combining all this information, Jiang Wen decided not to remain trapped in the formation.
Instead, he would kill the giant insect and send a threatening signal to the swarm's leader: this was not a place where they could do as they pleased.
With the swarm retreating, the base could be considered completely safe.
After a brief period of silence, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone celebrated this hard-won victory, with people from all the tribes gathering together and singing songs of various melodies.
"It's over."
Even the Tuoba warriors guarding the city were now weakly sitting on the ground, holding hands tightly with their comrades, sharing a smile.
Joy, liveliness, and celebratory songs echoed through the sky.
Jiang Wenji supported her body and stood up, looking towards the base, a smile appearing on her usually stern face.
"That's good,"
she said hoarsely.
Jiang Wenji shook her head, looking Jiang Wen in the eye.
"If you hadn't killed that giant insect, I'm afraid it wouldn't have ended so easily.
You are the savior of everyone."
"No, you're wrong,"
Jiang Wen said with a smile, shaking his head.
"It wasn't me who saved you, but you who saved yourselves.
If you hadn't held on until now, even if I had killed a giant insect, it would have been useless.
The dead insect's attacks would have continued; they wouldn't have stopped."
"It is because of everyone's unity that we were able to survive this crisis.
Moreover, that giant insect wouldn't have died so easily; it was you who transformed into a dragon and killed its clones, greatly weakening the giant insect's strength, which is why I had the chance to kill it."
"If you really want to say who saved this place, then the person who is least likely is me.
I just sat around for a few days and did nothing, didn't I?"
"You…"
Jiang Wenji frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Wen with some confusion.
Just as she was about to say something, she was drawn to the deafening explosion nearby.
In the sky above the base, the priests were weaving beautiful fireworks with lightning and flames.
"Then, our Princess, please speak for your people."
Jiang Wen reached out and took Jiang Wenji's hand, leading her slowly towards the bottom of the city tower.
Everyone in the base crowded over, countless eyes staring at the two of them.
Whether giants or dwarves, blue-skinned aliens or winged Winged people, everyone was in a joyful mood at this moment.
Nearly ten thousand people, like a dark mass by the lake, consciously made way for the two of them.
And Jiang Wenji gradually regained her composure, walking proudly at the front.
She strode towards the giant stone cauldron in the center of the base, and under everyone's gaze, jumped onto the stone cauldron.
Raising the broken iron sword in her hand, Jiang Wenji shouted to the sky: "This is the blessing of the Ancestral God, and also the victory achieved by your unity!
Today we have defeated the evil dead insect swarm, and from now on, no difficulty can stop us!
This place is like a deep abyss, blocking billions of dead insects.
In that case, I will name this place Tianyuan!" That is, Tianyuan City!"
"Tianyuan! Tianyuan!"
"Tianyuan!"
…
The howling sound spread in all directions like an avalanche, and along with the name of Tianyuan, the naming of the base as Tianyuan City was also expected.
The mixed voices grew louder and louder, and as everyone called out in unison, Jiang Wen gradually heard a name clearly.
"Heavenly King!"
"Heavenly King!"
"Heavenly King!"
…
The sound of calling for the Heavenly King grew louder and louder, and finally converged into a uniform shout.
The master of Tianyuan City, the annihilator of the dead insects, the incarnation of the Holy Dragon, Heavenly King Jiang Wenji.
This title will spread throughout the entire Taicang, shocking the world.
And that silver giant insect will also be sent by Jiang Wenji to Licheng, and finally delivered to the Taicang royal capital.
She will become Taicang's newly emerging king, no longer controlled by others.
It was also at this time that a fierce battle began thousands of miles away from Tianyuan City.
