Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Arrival of the Fire Phoenix (Fifth Update)
 

Zhang Chu nodded his head. He knew the commander was telling the truth.

All personal grudges had to step aside in the face of the life and death of tens of millions of civilians in Dianzhou.

But… it was still so hard to swallow!

Just then, countless giant bees suddenly flew out of the Insect Immortal Cave. Like a dark cloud, they headed straight for the crowd.

“Insect attack!” Zhang Chu shouted in alarm, and the many soldiers resting on the ground all leaped up and returned to their battle stations.

“Commander, please leave this place quickly, it’s too dangerous here!” Zhang Chu said as he pushed the commander onto the armored vehicle without further ado.

Worried that wasn’t safe enough, he bit open his middle finger and wrote a Talisman Spell on the door of the armored vehicle.

“Blazing golden light, what ghost dares to obstruct! Command!”

Layers of golden light suddenly covered the entire armored vehicle.

Then Zhang Chu turned to leave.

From inside the car, the commander said, “No matter what, remember to survive!”

Zhang Chu paused, then nodded his head before turning away.

By that time, the swarm of bees had already charged in. Ah Fei summoned his life-bound insect and began to fight against the swarm.

But his life-bound green snake was now only half its original size, so its killing power was significantly reduced.

Right then, Zhang Chu roared, “True soldiers of the Taoist mansion, spirits of monsters vanish!”

White light burst forth from these true soldiers of the Taoist mansion and then transformed into a torrent of righteous white light that slashed down at the swarm of bees.

Boom.

The corpses of the giant bees fell like rain.

This strike wiped out half of the giant bees.

But what was more terrifying was that the swarm seemed to have intelligence.

Despite suffering heavy casualties, some giant bees fearlessly tangled in the front, while others quietly circled to the rear, preparing for a sneak attack.

A few members of the Blood Qilin were caught off guard and were sucked dry by several giant bees.

Several more true soldiers of the Taoist mansion were lost, and the white light grew dimmer.

Zhang Chu was both shocked and furious, ready to rush over and deal with those giant bees.

But alas, a few even larger giant bees tenaciously entangled him.

An elder from the remaining members of Miao Immortal Valley, with a Golden Light Centipede on his head, seeing this, rushed over and detonated himself in a decisive self-explosion.

Boom.

The life-bound insect’s self-detonation wiped out part of the giant bees.

The people of Miao Immortal Valley, along with Zhang Chu, all cried out in shock.

Although they held different identities, they had established a firm comradeship through three days of fighting side by side.

“These damn bastards!” Zhang Chu’s eyes were on the verge of bursting with rage, yet he could not rush over no matter what.

Just then, an armored vehicle radiating golden light suddenly charged forward, knocking several giant bees flying away, and at the same time, several gun barrels extended from the vehicle and opened fire on these giant bees.

Amid the deafening gunshots, the sturdy bodies of the giant bees were turned into a hornet’s nest.

Zhang Chu was stunned.

After the sneaking giant bees at the back were cleaned up, the commander’s voice came through the armored vehicle’s loudspeaker,

“Heh, not bad shooting, eh!”

Tears welled up in Zhang Chu’s eyes.

But just at that moment, as if due to the heavy casualties among the swarm, a giant bee that had been lurking behind the swarm bravely flew forward.

This giant bee was as tall as a two-story building, and its sharp, sword-like proboscis glinted with an ominous cold light.

“It’s the Bee King!” Ah Fei cried out, leaping to intercept the giant bee.

But Ah Fei, who was already at the end of his strength, was no match for the giant bee.

A yellow light seal blasted Ah Fei away, the phantom of the green snake behind him shattered completely, and he fell to the ground, his life and death unknown.

Zhang Chu’s eyes turned blood-red as he pulled out the Laojun Sword, gritted his teeth, and prepared to strike another sword blow.

Although he was only meant to use the sword once a month, he had already used it more than once in the past three days.

If his Taoist foundation was destroyed, so be it.

Otherwise, everyone here would die!

Zhang Chu was about to make a move.

Suddenly.

Behind the giant bee, a dagger radiating a thick aura of killing intent emerged from the void and gently swiped across.

Crack.

The giant bee’s mouthparts and several claws snapped off in response.

The giant bee let out a painful roar, but its momentum soared incessantly.

“Be careful!” Zhang Chu shouted loudly.

Although he didn’t know who was taking action, he was certain they were on his side.

Before his voice had faded.

A giant figure bathed in golden light flew across the sky and then threw a punch.

Boom!

The giant bee was struck as if by a giant dragon, sent flying backward, shattering into pieces in mid-air.

Zhang Chu watched this scene, dumbfounded.

At that moment, the giant figure landed heavily on the ground, creating a large crater upon impact.

Then a huge man stood up, touched his shining bald head, and gave a simple, foolish smile.

Zhou Daniu!

One of the top combatants of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces.

Known as a human-shaped tank.

Zhang Chu naturally recognized him; in fact, he was more familiar with the members of Fire Phoenix than with his own team.

He knew every detail about each person’s characteristics and abilities.

Like the man who just emerged from the void with a dagger in hand, it was the Void Walker, Sun Ling.

And there was the leader Cheng Hao, Zou Yi….

All members of Fire Phoenix had appeared on the scene.

At the same time, a military off-road vehicle roared up, only coming to a steady stop when it reached the scene, then a uniquely beautiful girl alighted from it.

Zhang Chu’s heart stirred.

One of the soul figures of Fire Phoenix.

An Qing!

An Qing first glanced down at the gruesome battlefield, clicking her tongue a few times in lament before stepping forward and extending her hand.

“Hello! We are the Fire Phoenix Special Forces, ordered to come and support!”

Zhang Chu trembled, saluting subconsciously without daring to grasp that slender, jade-like hand.

“Blood Qilin Special Forces Captain, Zhang Chu!”

An Qing gave a slight smile and with imperturbable grace withdrew her hand.

In the ranks of the Fire Phoenix members, Zou Yi whispered to Zhou Daniu, “See that? The kid blushed when he saw our leader, probably has some unsavory thoughts!”

Zhou Daniu gave a foolish smile and said nothing.

Commander Hu also descended from the command vehicle, warmly welcoming the newcomers.

“General An, thank you for coming such a long way to reinforce us!”

An Qing smiled lightly, “Commander Hu, you’re too kind. It’s our duty to serve in the military!”

Her words’ vigorous spirit caused Zhang Chu’s face to turn even redder.

Zou Yi curled his lip, “See, his face is even redder! Damn, this kid is up to no good from the get-go!”

“Does blushing necessarily mean no good thoughts?” Zhou Daniu asked, sounding naive.

“Of course! If his heart was clean, why would he blush at all?” Zou Yi said confidently.

Cheng Hao frowned and turned to glare at Zou Yi, “Cut the chatter!”

Zou Yi stuck out his tongue, not daring to make another sound.

Although the battlefield was grim, to those in Fire Phoenix who were used to big scenes, it was nothing special.

They even chatted and laughed with ease.

But what they didn’t know was that an even more brutal battle awaited them ahead.
