Chapter 464: Chapter 464 An Qing Returns (Second Update)
Cheng Hao lit two cigarettes and handed one to Sun Ling.
At that moment, Sun Ling’s upper body was wrapped in bandages, leaning against the seat of an off-road vehicle. He took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and then began to cough violently.
Cheng Hao asked, “How’s it going?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die! Damn it, these demon insects are really fucking tough!” Sun Ling took another fierce puff of his cigarette.
The members of Fire Phoenix were now very silent.
An Qing’s body had been properly placed on a battlefield ambulance.
The wounded had also been transferred to the nearest hospital.
But the people of Fire Phoenix had not left.
They were waiting for the return of their instructor.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
“Captain, do you think the instructor can save An Yan?” Sun Ling exhaled a ring of smoke and suddenly asked.
Cheng Hao was silent for a moment and then nodded emphatically, “Definitely!”
“I also think he definitely can. After all, our instructor is the number one person in the world!” Sun Ling’s eyes reddened as he spoke, he lowered his head and said very sadly, “But I just fear, fear that if An Yan really doesn’t come back, can Fire Phoenix still be called Fire Phoenix?”
Hearing his words, some people’s eyes started to turn red.
Zhou Daniu, furious, suddenly punched the ground and roared with bloodshot eyes, “If anything really happens to An Yan, I swear I’ll tear all those insects to shreds!”
Zhang Chu looked on enviously from the side.
He realized that Fire Phoenix was not only powerful but, more importantly, had incredibly strong cohesion.
Just on that account, his Blood Qilin was far inferior.
And it had already been three days since Xue An entered the Insect Race Secret Realm.
During these three days, Commander Hu, fearing a change in the situation, had mobilized nearly half of Dianzhou’s military to guard the area layer by layer.
Everyone was waiting for the return of Xue An and the others.
An Yan sat inside the battlefield ambulance, gently holding her younger sister An Qing’s hand.
At this moment, An Qing’s breathing was weak, her complexion pale, just like a dead person.
Every time An Yan saw this scene, she wanted to cry.
During these three days, she had reflected on a lot.
Recalling the little things in life she and An Qing had experienced over the years.
Remembering the many events that had happened afterward.
All these things pained An Yan deeply.
The two little girls seemed to understand something as well, both sitting quietly on the side, keeping her company.
At this moment.
The ground suddenly shook.
Someone exclaimed, “Look, something is moving in the mountain!”
Everyone hurriedly looked up.
They saw that from within the Insect Immortal Mountain, which had been severed by Xue An with a single sword stroke, black air was surging.
A moment later, many people walked out from inside.
“Everybody on alert!”
All the soldiers aimed their guns at the group that had emerged, ready at a command to pull their triggers without hesitation and drown these people in a hail of bullets.
The people who had come out saw the multitude of soldiers and their faces reflected complex expressions.
There was the emotion of having lived through two lifetimes, as well as fear and panic.
“Don’t shoot, we are all human beings!” Zu Tianle shouted, holding his hands high.
Hmm?
Everyone was taken aback.
Zhang Chu formed a sword with his fingers, gently tapped his brow, then looked carefully once more before he finally exhaled deeply.
“They really are all human! Don’t shoot!”
But many people were still puzzled.
How could there be so many people?
As Zu Tianle and the others approached, someone searched them carefully and found nothing unusual.
Then Cheng Hao asked, “How did you come out of the insect world?”
Zu Tianle offered a wry smile and pointed to the few dozen people around him, “We are all Earthlings, and we don’t know how it happened, but we were taken to that dreadful place! Thankfully, an Immortal took action, and that’s how we were able to return!”
“Immortal?”
“Yes!” Zu Tianle recounted everything he had seen and heard.
When everyone heard that An Qing was safe and sound and had eliminated the Insect Tribe Queen with Xue An,
the people from Fire Phoenix all heaved a sigh of relief.
“I told you so, our instructor is an Immortal; nothing could possibly happen to her!” Sun Ling excitedly exclaimed.
“The Immortal is actually your instructor?” Zu Tianle found it hard to believe.
Cheng Hao was also in a good mood and nodded, “Yes! How come only you guys came back? Where’s our instructor?”
“The Immortal said he wouldn’t come out until he had wiped out all the Insect Tribe in that dreadful place, and he told us to go first. But I reckon he’ll be out by now!”
As they were talking, the thick black fog suddenly expanded.
And then a massive leg stepped out.
The leg was as thick as the piers of a large bridge.
While everyone was still in shock, the entire form of the flesh giant was revealed.
This giant, towering seventy to eighty meters tall, caused people around to cry out in astonishment.
Some of the more timid soldiers couldn’t even hold on to their guns steadily.
After all, this scene was far too frightening.
Then they saw the giant slowly squat down, then bend over.
It was only then that everyone noticed that sitting on the shoulder of the giant was none other than An Qing.
An Qing jumped down.
She nodded to the crowd with a cheerful smile, “Gentlemen, I’m back!”
Many people looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Because the current An Qing’s movements and actions were no different from those of an ordinary person.
But her body was clearly still lying on the ambulance, so this must be her spirit.
Shouldn’t a spirit be light and almost transparent?
What was going on?
At that moment, a streak of light flashed, and Xue An appeared in the midst of the field.
“Instructor!” Cheng Hao and the others hurriedly bowed their heads in respect.
Xue An nodded slightly.
Then An Yan arrived, and although she was somewhat surprised to see An Qing, she still rushed forward and hugged her, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Silly Qing’er, you almost scared your sister to death!”
An Qing also felt a bit emotional, but she quickly comforted her, “It’s alright sis, haven’t I come back safe and sound? Moreover, my brother-in-law said I gained a blessing in disguise!”
“Gained a blessing in disguise?”
“Yeah! Haven’t you noticed my spirit looks just like a regular person?” An Qing said with a giggling smile.
Not too long ago, in the Insect Race Secret Realm, Xue An trapped the fleeing Insect Tribe Queen and then executed her.
But the Insect Tribe Queen was already tightly bound to the Secret Realm, and even if you killed it, it would revive in that patch of world after a while.
That was the reason behind its brazenness.
However, it hadn’t anticipated that Xue An would let An Qing absorb the soul fragments left by its death.
This move completely cut off the possibility of its rebirth.
At the same time, it granted An Qing enormous benefits.
One of them was the condensation of her soul into something as tangible as flesh.
Now, An Qing even inherited the innate abilities of the Insect Tribe Queen.
If she wished, she could also develop her own insect swarm.
However, An Qing wasn’t interested in this; she had no desire to be accompanied by insects all day.
“What about Qing’er’s body?” An Yan asked.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Even if the soul is as tangible as flesh, it’s no substitute for one’s own body. Naturally, we must let her return to human form!”
When An Qing’s spirit returned to her body,
a moment later, An Qing suddenly sat up, stretched out her hand to look at it, and said somewhat awkwardly, “Brother-in-law, why do I feel so awkward being back in human form?”
