The Patrol Team members raised their heads in surprise one after another.

In the curtain of rain, that blond-haired youth standing on the edge of the rooftop had a slender figure, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

"Who is this kid?"

"He must be crazy to show his head at a time like this!"

"No matter who he is, catch him together!"

Tang Qi was equally shocked.

His heart beat violently, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ever-changing Star Lord!

It really was him!

To ensure their work could proceed smoothly, the intelligence personnel of Great Xia Nation had always maintained single-line contacts and strictly prohibited cross-contacts.

This was an ironclad rule.

He had originally thought that tonight was already a dead end.

He didn't expect that this mysterious Ever-changing Star Lord would suddenly appear to rescue them.

But why?

Why would he know that his side was in danger?

And rush over so timely.

Tang Qi's mind was in complete chaos.

Even if he came, what could he change?

That was Hasegawa Yama, a legendary figure in the Takamagahara Patrol Team, a true S-Rank Expert.

Minister Wei Liao had never revealed the strength of this Ever-changing Star Lord.

Does he really have the confidence to rescue the two of them from this kind of lineup?

In the alley, the banter on the face of the middle-aged man leading the team turned into a sneer.

"Very good."

"You lured out an accomplice so quickly."

He raised his hand and pointed casually at Zhou Huai on the rooftop.

"Catch him for me too!"

Several Patrol Team members grinned hideously and were about to make a move.

But Zhou Huai, standing on the rooftop, smiled.

He extended a finger and gently shook it.

The next second.

A harsh buzzing sound sounded without warning from the shadows in all directions.

The sound was not loud, but it was so sharp that it seemed capable of piercing the eardrums.

"What is that sound?"

The crowd looked around in doubt and suspicion.

Then, they saw it.

One, two, ten...

Less than a hundred bizarre beetles with pitch-black bodies and carapaces emitting a metallic cold light flew out from the darkness.

They hovered in mid-air, their scarlet compound eyes lighting up in the rainy night like a hundred ghost fires.

"Insects?"

The middle-aged man frowned, then let out a disdainful scoff.

"An Insect Master?"

"Insignificant tricks."

Before his voice fell.

The nearly one hundred Soldier Beetles moved.

Instead of swarming up, they turned into nearly a hundred streaks of black lightning, diving down from different angles at a terrifying speed!

Their target was precisely those Patrol Team members scattered in the alley!

"Boom——!!!"

The first Soldier Beetle crashed into the shield of a heavy shield warrior.

There was no flying flesh and blood.

Only an explosion.

An ultimate, destructive explosion!

A scorching white ball of light instantly swallowed that warrior, and a violent shockwave swept outward.

That huge shield forged from special alloy was torn apart like a piece of paper in the explosion.

The heavy shield warrior didn't even have time to scream before his entire body was blown flying.

This was only the beginning.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom——!!!"

Continuous explosions, like the densest thunder, exploded wildly in the narrow alley!

The whole world seemed to be left with only dazzling white light and deafening roars!

The formation of the entire Patrol Team was instantly blown to pieces.

Screams and wails were completely drowned out by the explosions.

The hard ground was blasted into deep pits, and rainwater mixed with blood and minced meat splashed everywhere.

The buildings on both sides of the alley let out painful groans under this series of bombings.

The walls collapsed, and glass windows shattered and fell like hail.

Finally, in another round of salvo bombing, the load-bearing structures of the two buildings completely collapsed.

The huge building structures tilted and collapsed with overwhelming momentum!

The alley that was originally completely sealed off instantly turned into a ruin.

Rainwater washed over the broken walls and ruins, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder and blood.

In just a single round of exchange, his carefully trained Patrol Team had suffered losses of seven or eight out of ten.

The survivors were all injured, and their eyes were filled with the fear of surviving a disaster.

Amidst the ruins, the middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat struggled to get up, looking at everything before him in disbelief, his face showing obvious panic.

"How could this be? How could this happen?"

The change in an instant was as if he were dreaming.

Looking at the youth on the rooftop again, he was still unscathed.

What on earth is this guy's background?

Is he a secret weapon that Great Xia Nation has always hidden?

The middle-aged man instinctively looked toward Hasegawa Yama; that was his only hope.

Hasegawa Yama raised his head, his gaze locked tightly onto that blond-haired youth at the top of the tall building.

In his half-closed eyes, there was not a trace of fear at this moment; instead, a morbid excitement was burning.

"Interesting."

Hasegawa Yama murmured in a low voice, his mouth splitting into a crazy arc.

He suddenly reached out, grabbed the hilt of the Katana stabbed into Tang Qi's shoulder, and pulled it out hard.

"Puchi!"

Fresh blood gushed out again.

Tang Qi let out a muffled groan, his body turning soft, and he almost fell to his knees, but he was firmly supported by Maeda Hanami beside him.

Hasegawa Yama didn't look at him again.

His figure flickered, and the whole person turned into a hurricane hard to distinguish with the naked eye, carrying rainwater and gravel, rapidly approaching the location of the tall building where Insect Emperor Caesar was.

On the rooftop, Zhou Huai looked at the storm rushing over rapidly, a playful smile still hanging on his face.

He didn't even move.

It was merely a thought.

Buzz——

Nearly a thousand Soldier Beetles surged out from the shadows behind him, like a black dark cloud of death, diving down to meet that hurricane.

Hasegawa Yama's figure moved at high speed in the air, leaving a series of blurred afterimages.

He dared not take it head-on.

Even with his S-Rank Expert strength, he dared not withstand the power of this kind of suicidal explosion.

His figure was wrapped by the violent wind, constantly dodging and shifting in the air, his movements as elegant as dancing on the tip of a knife.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The balls of light from the explosions blasted continuously beside him, and the violent shockwave tore ripples visible to the naked eye out of the air.

But he was like an untamable wind, always able to avoid the core area by a hair's breadth just before the explosion occurred.

In just a few seconds, a thousand Soldier Beetles all turned into fireworks.

Hasegawa Yama's figure reappeared in mid-air. Except for a few cuts on his clothes caused by the air wave, he was completely unharmed.

Zhou Huai clapped his hands with considerable appreciation.

"Not bad."

"You were able to dodge a thousand Soldier Beetles."

He looked at the man below whose eyes were becoming increasingly fanatical and asked with a smile.

"What about ten thousand?"

Before his voice fell.

Buzz——Buzz——Buzz——!!!

A black torrent rushed into the sky from all directions.

Ten thousand Soldier Beetles blocked out the entire sky.

Forming a dark cloud even deeper than the night, completely swallowing the last light of this area.

Everyone who survived in the alley, including Tang Qi and Maeda Hanami, raised their heads in horror.

What was that?

That was a sight capable of driving anyone with trypophobia mad on the spot.

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

"What... What kind of joke is this?"
