God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me

Hisss!

The poisonous smoke only gathered within a three-zhang radius of the temple, and upon seeing Ji Ningxuan and the others retreating, the Netherworld Blood Worms did not continue to pursue them, but instead continued to surround the temple!

As the poisonous smoke gradually dissipated and settled on the ground, it corroded the surface into a pitch blackness.

Even the carcasses of the Netherworld Blood Worms that had fallen to the ground earlier were corroded and fell apart!

This poisonous smoke was so vicious that it didn't even spare its own kind?

"Miss, shall we retreat? We can't handle the situation here anymore. We should notify the Buddhist Sect and the Town Martial Hall to deal with this," the Guard Captain beside Ji Ningxuan almost cried out, "The Head of the Town Martial Hall is already on his way, and he will surely have a way!"

As Ji Ningxuan's Guard Captain, Gao Fei's primary mission was to ensure Ji Ningxuan's safety.

Now that these Netherworld Blood Worms had only spat out a stream of poisonous smoke and even two Martial Emperor Level powerhouses were unable to withstand it, how could their Martial Venerable level bodyguards cope?

"Don't worry! I won't act recklessly. If we really can't hold them off, I will retreat!" At this moment, Ji Ningxuan no longer had her previous determination – she too had realized that these Netherworld Blood Worms were very strange.

However, as the daughter of the Prime Minister Manor and benefactor of Great Xia's salary, having come here, if she did nothing at all, that wouldn't align with Ji Ningxuan's style!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Ji Ningxuan chastised loudly, reached into her clothes, and took out several Rune Talismans, hurling them at the Netherworld Blood Worms, "Arise!"

Whoosh!

As the Rune Talismans were thrown, they instantly swelled against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they emitted strands of golden patterns and light that surged around, spreading a primitive aura from those Talismans.

Cackle!

As the patterns and light of the Talismans surged and spread, the Netherworld Blood Worms seemed to dread these Talismans, scattering away to a good distance.

Within a one-zhang radius of the Talismans, no Netherworld Blood Worm dared to approach.

And the remnants of the poisonous smoke in the air, under the envelopment of the Talismans' aura, actually vanished instantly – the air seemed to have been purified in a moment!

Seeing such a scene, Ji Ningxuan let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile!

It seemed that her master was right, the world had started to fall into chaos. If she hadn't practiced hard and mastered these life-saving techniques, she feared she would really be in trouble today.

"The Jade Pool Sacred Land's techniques, the Sage Master taught even the last-resort skills to the miss!"

"Empress mighty!"

Surrounded by her bodyguards, seeing Ji Ningxuan had methods to deal with the Netherworld Blood Worms, they all showed delighted faces.

"Together, strike now!"

Ji Ningxuan gave a shout and, taking advantage of the power of the Talismans to drive away the blood worms, leapt into the air again, brandishing her battle sabers, and smashed forward!

Boom! Boom!

This time, the two Martial Emperor level bodyguards beside Ji Ningxuan, along with several dozen other bodyguards, all made their moves.

Powerful Martial Arts Qi stirred up a fierce storm on this barren land!

The air was torn by the powerful Qi Force, emitting a mournful sound, and in an instant, the world lost its color, and the air seemed to become oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.

Over the temple, the Netherworld Blood Worms that had not yet dispersed also sensed danger.

Whiz! Whiz!

In an instant, all the Netherworld Blood Worms transformed, merging into a titanic battle saber comprised of countless worms, which met head-on with Ji Ningxuan and her companions' attack.

Boom!

Bang bang!

The powerful Martial Arts Qi clashed with the thousands of Netherworld Blood Worms.

Although the Netherworld Blood Worms were clad in hard armor capable of withstanding attacks from Grandmasters, they were no match for the barrage from a large number of Martial Lords and two Eighth Rank Martial Emperors on Ji Ningxuan's side. The frenzied Martial Arts Qi instantly tore apart the thousands of worms, grinding them into dust.

A wind blew through the mountains, carrying in the air a foul odor mixed with the scent of blood and decay, causing disgust.

Dust billowed, and when it finally settled, a huge pit lay where the temple once stood. The swarming Netherworld Blood Worms that were previously all around had vanished without a trace... except for a few still writhing and struggling on the ground, no other presence of the worms could be sensed.

Were they all annihilated just like that?

Although Ji Ningxuan knew her guard team was mighty, the ease with which they had slaughtered all the Blood Worms still somewhat exceeded her expectations!

"You few, go check the surroundings to see if any have been missed!" Ji Ningxuan frowned and barked at the bodyguards beside her, then carefully approached the temple.

Aren't Netherworld Blood Worms supposed to move in swarms? Even though I've destroyed many, there can't be just this many in a single colony, right?

Ye Fan quietly stood not far off, watching Ji Ningxuan employ her tactics, and his lips involuntarily quirked up.

A disciple of the Jade Pool Sacred Land, or even the Empress?

No wonder she had such formidable strength and backing!

At this moment, Ye Fan also understood what Ji Ningxuan meant by her previous words, uninterested in him? Heh, the Emperor's soon-to-be bride next month, even if she wanted to be interested in him, it wouldn't be possible!

Yet a somewhat wicked idea crossed Ye Fan's mind!

The royal family allowed Prince Jin to strike against the Ye Family, nearly wiping them out, and now the Emperor's wife-to-be had come before him. Shouldn't he collect some "interest"?

Even if he didn't do something, at least he could give the Emperor a good prick, make him squirm a bit?

The Netherworld Blood Worms had suddenly vanished without a trace, and Ye Fan was puzzled as well.

Even with the strength of an Eighth Rank Martial Emperor and using his senses, he indeed couldn't detect any more of the worms' presence... but that was inconsistent with what Pang Hai had told him!

Triggering his Devil's Pupil, Ye Fan quickly scanned beneath the temple and was immediately taken aback, "Quick, retreat! Be careful..."

With the Devil's Pupil, Ye Fan could see through the dust below the temple, and what lay there.

At that moment, Ye Fan saw clearly that underneath the collapsed temple, while the surface appeared calm, there were actually tens of thousands of densely packed Netherworld Blood Worms... gathering together, forming a nest-like structure in the center where something significant seemed to be happening.

The entire area beneath the temple was hollow, with no sand or stones, everything was composed of Netherworld Blood Worms!

Feeling that something important was happening, Ye Fan tried to investigate further, but suddenly encountered a mysterious force that blocked him! Even with his Devil's Pupil, he could not penetrate to see the details below!

Huh?

These Netherworld Blood Worms were too strange. They could act collectively, change form to deal with Ji Ningxuan and others, and even block his investigation—there was definitely trouble!

However, while he was speaking, he already noticed the Blood Worms below the temple ruins beginning to move... slipping through the soil below, they moved rapidly in thirteen directions, launching a subterranean attack and swiftly encircling Ji Ningxuan and the others.

"Quick, come back, they're coming from underground! Hurry!"

Ye Fan urgently alerted Ji Ningxuan and the others, but Ji Ningxuan, hearing Ye Fan's voice, merely furrowed her brow, "Why haven't you left yet? You, an ordinary person, how could you know they are coming from underground? Could you possibly see them?"
