The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 - Mutiny

Everyone turned toward the voice, seeing a petite, delicate figure emerge from the shadows.

The Third Elder paused for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

"Haha! Fifth Elder, is this the person you recommended? She doesn't even bear the Sheng surname!" he mocked.

The Great Elder's expression remained calm as he spoke, "I remember your name, Lie Xin. You do not bear the Sheng surname, so you are not one of our Holy Ant Tribe," he continued, his tone filled with disdain. "Those who are not of our kin must have different hearts. Seize her and throw her into the tribe's dungeon!"

As the Great Elder gave the order, a few insect masters rushed forward to subdue Lie Xin.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lie Xin suddenly swung her fist with explosive force. Her petite fist struck with overwhelming power, and in an instant, the insect masters who had tried to seize her were sent flying to the ground. They writhed in pain, clearly unable to continue fighting.

The leader of the group, the Golden Insect Master, Zhu Qi, felt his pupils contract in shock. These insect masters, although not Golden Insect Masters, were seasoned Silver Insect Masters, yet they had been effortlessly knocked out by Lie Xin.

The Great Elder and Third Elder exchanged glances, both surprised.

"This Lie Xin... seems to have some real strength."

"Seize her!" the Great Elder barked.

"I'll handle it personally," Zhu Qi sneered as he stepped forward.

Zhu Qi was a mid-level Golden Insect Master from the Mad Spider Tribe. He had been sent by the tribe's leader to assist the Great Elder and Third Elder in their power struggle. Even without calling on his yao insect, he was confident in his ability to subdue this petite woman with ease.

"Come here!" Zhu Qi roared as his large, rough hands lunged toward her.

Lie Xin's lips curled into a faint smile, and instead of retreating, she advanced, delivering another crushing blow with her fist.

Zhu Qi let out a derisive laugh. "You're seeking death!"

In the next instant, their fists collided with an explosive crash.

Crack!

Zhu Qi's arm twisted unnaturally at the impact, his bones clearly shattered as the force of Lie Xin's strike drove through him. Lie Xin then swiftly twisted his arm further, contorting it in a painful direction, causing Zhu Qi to scream out in agony.

Unable to withstand the pain, Zhu Qi's body instinctively bent downward to alleviate the intense pressure on his arm.

This left his head exposed to Lie Xin's next strike.

"Die!" Lie Xin's eyes gleamed with a cold, lethal light as she raised her elbow high, preparing to strike at the back of Zhu Qi's head.

If the blow landed, it would surely kill him.

Zhu Qi's pupils dilated in panic, and the instinct for survival took over. He immediately summoned his demon insect—the Earth Tough Spider.

The spider, the size of a young calf, emerged from the ground with a terrifying presence. Its body was a dirty yellow, covered in thick bristles, and its sheer size was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine.

The Earth Tough Spider, one of the most popular demon insects of the Mad Spider Tribe, was known for its immense strength and durable exoskeleton—perfect for withstanding enemy attacks.

Seeing the spider, Lie Xin smiled faintly and immediately sprang backward, leaping several feet away to create distance.

"Spiders!"

The crowd gasped in shock.

In the Holy Ant Tribe, insect masters traditionally contracted with ants, but only their mortal enemies, the Mad Spider Tribe, were known to form pacts with spiders!

"This person is an insect master from the Mad Spider Tribe!" a few insect masters whispered in disbelief.

Sheng Wei slammed his hand onto the armrest, his face contorted with fury. "Great Elder, is this your person? You've colluded with the Mad Spider Tribe—you're staging a rebellion!"

The animosity between the Holy Ant Tribe and the Mad Spider Tribe had existed for generations. In fact, opposing the Mad Spider Tribe was considered a political standard in the Holy Ant Tribe.

For the Great Elder and the Third Elder to seek the Mad Spider Tribe's help to seize power, they had been careful to ensure that none of the Mad Spider Tribe's insect masters openly summoned their demon insects. But now, with Lie Xin's unexpected interference, their plans had been exposed.

With Zhu Qi revealing his affiliation with the Mad Spider Tribe, the rebellion of the Great Elder and Third Elder had been confirmed.

In an instant, Lie Xin's giant ants collided with Zhu Qi's demon spiders.

Even though it was two against three, the Flame Armored Ant and Explosion Ant completely suppressed Zhu Qi's three spiders. The Flame Armored Ant, with its enormous size and thick exoskeleton, blocked the spiders' attacks, while the Explosion Ant remained in the rear, firing explosive bursts of fiery projectiles.

Zhu Qi was stunned.

Three against two, and still getting crushed?

He couldn't believe it. Was this going to turn into a full-on team fight?

In that moment, realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. Lie Xin's rank was clearly not low-tier Golden Insect Master—she was certainly a high-tier Golden Insect Master, stronger than him. Otherwise, there was no way her two demon insects would be able to overpower his three.

This woman was terrifying. How much power was she hiding?

Grinding his teeth, Zhu Qi snarled, "Everyone, come at her! Attack together!"

As his command rang out, two more low-tier Golden Insect Masters rushed forward, summoning their demon insects to join the fray.

The Flame Armored Ant and Explosion Ant were powerful, but facing so many demon insects at once, even they began to show signs of strain.

Just then, the sound of shouting and killing echoed from outside.

In the blink of an eye, the insect masters Zhu Qi had stationed outside were slaughtered, and a fresh group of insect masters stormed into the tribe's main hall.

"Fire Ant Tribe insect masters, here to rescue the Holy Ant Tribe!" came the loud roar from the newcomers.

At the forefront were two figures—Lie Xin's older brother, Lie Tang, and her second brother, Lie Song. They had been waiting for the signal.

The special insect whistle that Lie Xin had blown earlier was the signal. The moment they heard it, they rushed in without hesitation, ready to turn the tide of the battle!

Upon seeing the Fire Ant Tribe insect masters appear, the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and Zhu Qi's faces instantly turned pale.

How could this be?!
