World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1679 - 5: Exterminating the Insect Swarm (Part 2)

With the speed enhancement from the Wind Tamer’s Dark Spirit Circuit, Ziwei immediately launched a sprint, her figure as swift as lightning, almost reaching the insect swarm in an instant.

Dark Speed!

Her speed was fast, but unfortunately, Dark Speed before reaching high-level couldn’t be used in combat. Blocked by the insect swarm, she had to stop.

"Boom!"

At this time, the plasma bugs’ attacks also reached the spaceship.

To resist the external attacks of dark spiritual power, Li Xiang and the other crew members had no choice but to activate the holographic projection for defensive operations.

Fortunately, the spaceship’s shield was also activated by the Dark Spirit Power Engine, barely holding on for a while in front of those all-penetrating yellow Light Balls.

"Ziwei! Ziwei has rushed out!"

At this time, the crew also saw the scene ahead, with that purple-haired figure already reaching the forefront of the Insect Race army, facing the endless insect sea with only a blade.

Yadun and others, who were also paying attention to the battle dynamics, were sweating in their palms.

They had never seen so many Desert Worms before. Though they had fought them on planetary surfaces, the number was never comparable to the current situation.

Yadun had never imagined what it looked like when a whole star system was densely packed with Desert Worms. Now he finally saw the terrifying numbers of the real Insect Race army, feeling a chill running through his limbs.

"A swarm of this level is only a Level 5 insect swarm... not even the highest level..."

He murmured to himself, full of shock.

If a Level 5 insect swarm is like this, and knowing from Ziwei that the highest known is Level 8, he found it hard to imagine what that would be like.

Clenching his fist tightly, Yadun’s gaze grew determined.

"No matter what level you are, one day, I will lead my Phantom Spirit Clan’s companions to drive you monsters out of our star system!"

He vowed silently in his heart.

Outside, when facing Ziwei’s assault, the swarm had already reacted, countless insects swarming towards her, attempting to shred her.

Zhang Xiaoman noticed besides the giant Poison King Guard, dozens of familiar figures were pacing behind the insect swarm.

"Those are... Black Scale Armor Guards?"

He recognized the identity of those insects, which were the guardian forces of the Insect Race leader, the Black Scale Armor Guards.

Zhang Xiaoman instantly realized, fearing that there was more than just a Poison King Guard, and that the Insect King of this community was likely also present.

"The Insect King is there too, no wonder these insects are so frenzied."

Generally, supreme insects like the Insect Queen or Insect King wouldn’t personally appear on the frontlines, but if this was where the Fog Heart was, it would be a different story.

Zhang Xiaoman realized they were likely very close to the Fog Heart, especially with the Insect King appearing, proving the Fog Heart polluting this star system was nearby.

Thinking of the capabilities of the Fog Heart, he frowned slightly, then activated the Spirit-controlling True Technique to replenish his energy, subsequently deploying a Dark Spiritual Shield that enveloped the whole spaceship.

This shield was established inside the ship’s own shield, not for defending against ordinary dark spiritual attacks, but to resist the spiritual shock of the Fog Heart.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t forget that besides the ability to create mist, the Fog Heart also possessed a minor spiritual shock ability.

Though from past encounters with lower-level Fog Hearts, this spiritual shock wasn’t strong, no one knew what extent this super-sized Fog Heart could reach. While he feared no form of spiritual attack, there were still many crew members inside the ship, so it was better to play it safe.

As Zhang Xiaoman finished augmenting the shield, the battle on Ziwei’s side started.

The Starlight Battle Blade in her hand gently swept, creating streaks of starlight path ahead, each extending over several kilometers, piercing into the insect swarm like Sword Qi, resulting in a bloody massacre.

The hard shells of the Desert Worms were shredded like paper under the starlight, instantly crushed, causing the surrounding space to warp as if affected by the starlight and threatening to shatter at any moment.

Li Xiang and others, having seen Ziwei in action before, were somewhat mentally prepared for this terrifying scene.

But for Yadun and his Phantom Spirit People, it was different. This high-end individual combat power was the first of its kind they saw in their lives. Although aware of the unique nature of the woman following the Star Lord, witnessing her lethal power firsthand was astonishing.

However, before they could celebrate, the insect swarm quickly filled the gaps cleared by Ziwei.

The sheer number of Desert Worms was overwhelming. Although Ziwei’s clearing speed was impressive, it was almost impossible to single-handedly wipe them out.

Moreover, a Level 5 swarm didn’t just consist of low-level fodder species; the high-level Insect Race, led by the Insect King, launched a counterattack, making it difficult for even Ziwei to advance further.

"This won’t do. I need to finish the battle quickly, or it will be hard to handle once the Poison King Guard attacks again..."

Ziwei pondered secretly, facing the endless Insect Race forces charging towards her.

A Level 5 swarm wasn’t something just anyone could handle easily, boasting Middle Control Level strength, and the swarm’s number advantage made it challenging for a regular Middle Control Level powerhouse to defeat them.

Ziwei was at the Peak of Middle Control Level, just a step away from the Upper Control Level.

Additionally, she had been the captain of the Shadow Sentinels and had imprinted four Star Patterns, boasting strength and foundations far exceeding comparable Dark Spirits.

Yet, even so, she felt significant pressure at this moment, knowing the Poison King Guard’s insidious presence. Without Zhang Xiaoman earlier, she might have already been forced to retreat with severe injuries.

"No way! I can’t let that guy have the last laugh!"

Her eyes suddenly filled with a surge of purple light, the rich light revealing a purple flower pattern at her brow.

"Perfect timing, let me try that new move I’ve learned..."

She noticed the presence of the Black Scale Armor Guards and understood that beyond the Poison King Guard, the Insect King’s top leadership was likely among them.

Four-star Pattern state activate!

Terrifying energy burst forth from Ziwei’s body, spreading in all directions, shredding the low-level Insect Race intending to charge at her into pieces.

"What is this incredible power!!"

It was Yadun’s first time witnessing the radiance of the Star Pattern, feeling as if the whole world was simply that dazzling purple symbol.

Previously, when Zhang Xiaoman used the Star Pattern due to its quick activation and deactivation, no one noticed, but now Ziwei directly activated the Four-star Pattern state, allowing everyone to see it clearly.

Outside, Ziwei wielded the power of the Time Corridor, releasing the previously stored Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber. Her figure transformed into a purple stream of light, crossing the insect sea ahead at an unbelievable speed. When she reappeared, she was several kilometers away in the cosmic void.

In that moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent, with every eye fixed on the purple blade light, making it impossible to see anything else.

In the next second, the blade light vanished, and all the insect swarms that were obstructing Ziwei were reduced to ashes, wiped out entirely without leaving a trace.
