Chapter 565: Killing the Corpse-Eating Rat

The rats fled in all directions. No one dared to stay for long and quickly ran into the secret passage.

Less than half an incense stick's time had passed.

A flute sounded, and the squeaking sound was heard again, and then a black swarm of rats suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

As more and more rats came, the air was filled with a strong stench that made people feel nauseous.

Chu Jiuqing's eyes were red. His good brother wanted to kill him. Was the position really more important than brotherhood?

It seems that there is no family affection in the royal family.

The last bit of reluctance in his heart disappeared at this moment, and he swore silently in his heart,

Chu Jinxuan, you'd better hope to kill me, otherwise when I return to Kyoto, I will definitely not have any mercy on you anymore.

His face was filled with murderous intent. "Kill them all, you little rat! I don't believe I can't kill them all."

Zhuifeng Zhuyue obeyed the order, brandished his sword, and slashed at the Corpse-Eating Rat with sword beams...

As Zhuifeng attacked the carcass-eating rats, he shouted, "Miss Chen, didn't you say that if we shot the leader of the rat pack, the pack would collapse on its own? Why are they running back?"

"Ziyou must have re-elected the Rat King, so these corpse-eating rats attacked us again."

Chen Qingqing's scalp went numb. Ziyou was able to regain control of the corpse-eating rat in such a short time. It was really amazing.

Seeing Chu Jiuqing and his men raising their swords and trying to kill the carcass-eating rats,

Not only are there many edible rat carcasses, but their number is increasing.

She knew that this was not a solution. If they couldn't kill all the carcass-eating rats, they would be exhausted to death.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to know so much. I almost can't bear to kill you now." Zi You said, giggling, her voice full of charm. "I admire you very much. If you just promise not to go to Kyoto to rescue Emperor Chu, and agree to become my disciple and follow me to the Western Regions, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life, okay?"

"You are not worthy. I can deal with a mere corpse-eating rat." Chen Qingqing's voice was cold and she refused without hesitation.

Zi You laughed indifferently, "You silly girl, you're really not willing to accept my toast. I want to see how you can escape from my Corpse-Eating Rat Formation."

Chen Qingqing no longer paid attention to Ziyou and said to Chu Jiuqing, "Xiaoyu, continue to kill the Rat King."

"Yeah." Chu Jiuqing agreed, and his sharp eyes quickly searched among the rats.

Zhuyue was a little anxious, "Your Highness, there are too many rats. I can't tell which one is the Rat King."

"Yeah, the visibility in here is too dark, and we can't find where the Rat King is." Zhuifeng also looked anxious.

Chen Qingqing frowned and quickly looked around at the dense swarm of rats. It was not easy to find the Rat King among them.

But she knew that this was the only way to repel the rats.

"Everyone, please note that the Rat King is large, so the area around it will be relatively open."

Chu Jiuqing nodded, his eyes like lightning searching for the figure of the Rat King among the rats.

Suddenly, he noticed that the rats in front of him were in a commotion, and the rats were moving to the sides.

Chu Jiuqing didn't care about the danger, he exerted force on his feet and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Chen Qingqing followed closely behind, shooting at the surrounding rats as she walked.

The mice felt threatened and rushed towards them, but were killed by Zhuifeng Zhuyue who arrived later.

"The Rat King is there!" Chen Qingqing shouted, pointing at a larger rat in front of her with a tuft of white hair on its head.

This carcass rat was obviously much larger than the other rats, and its scarlet eyes were filled with danger.

Chu Jiuqing shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand swung out several sword flowers, instantly forcing back the surrounding rats, and then rushed towards the Rat King.

The Rat King sensed danger, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he squeaked a few times. The rats around him rushed towards Chu Jiuqing like crazy.

Chen Qingqing raised her crossbow and shot the rats surrounding Chu Jiuqing.

Chu Jiuqing was able to catch his breath, and rushed to the Rat King in one step. He raised the long sword in his hand high, and chopped towards the Rat King's head with lightning speed.

The Rat King reacted very quickly, twisting its body to avoid the fatal blow.

But Chu Jiuqing was as fast as lightning and slashed its back with a sword.

The Rat King screamed in pain, and his whole body began to tremble violently.

The rats suddenly became agitated and retreated.

Everyone thought that since the Rat King was injured, the rats would retreat.

Unexpectedly, after the Rat King screamed a few times, he showed no intention of escaping. Instead, he glared at the few people with his scarlet eyes.

Suddenly, it became crazy and scratched the ground with its claws.

The other mice followed suit and arched their backs.

"Everyone be careful, the rats are about to attack." Chen Qingqing warned loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the rat king let out a sharp squeak, and regardless of the injuries on its body, it bared its sharp teeth and pounced towards Chu Jiuqing.

The rats also surged up like a tide.

Seeing the fierce momentum of the Rat King, Chu Jiuqing jumped out of the circle.

The Rat King missed his target and squeaked a few times, and the rats quickly surrounded everyone.

Everyone waved the torches in their hands, trying to drive away the rats, but the effect was minimal. These rats were no longer afraid of the fire.

After a brief look at each other, they suddenly heard the Rat King squeak, and the rats surrounding them suddenly attacked them.

Everyone was not willing to be careless and fought hard, but these rats were not afraid of death and rushed forward in waves after they were killed.

Unable to advance or retreat, everyone was in trouble for a while.

Chu Jiuqing knew that if he continued to hold on, he would be eaten by rats sooner or later.

"Chasing the wind and the moon, concentrate your strength and follow me to break out in the direction of the Rat King."

"Yes, Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Zhuifeng Zhuyue adjusted his direction and rushed towards the location where the Rat King was with all his strength.

The Rat King was very cunning. After being injured, he hid behind the rat group and could not be approached at all.

The rats' attack became more and more fierce.

Chen Qingqing didn't want to be eaten by rats, so she didn't care about that at the moment. She took out the flamethrower from the space and sprayed flames at the rats.

A tongue of fire flew out, and countless rats were burned into fireballs. Accompanied by shrill screams, the rat group became a mess.

In an instant, the secret passage was filled with the smell of burning rat corpses, choking everyone and causing them to cover their mouths and noses.

Chen Qingqing also felt the heat wave coming, and the scorching flames made her face hurt.

He had only lightly emitted a fraction of the flame and she was almost cooked; if he had emitted all of it, she would have been burnt to a crisp.

She didn't dare to spray flames anymore. While the rats were fleeing in panic, she looked at Chu Jiuqing and said, "Quick, kill the Rat King."

Chu Jiuqing's sharp eyes were fixed on the Rat King.

At this time, the Rat King was also frightened by the flames, but he still maintained order among the rats and kept making squeaking sounds.

Chu Jiuqing tapped the ground with his toes and rushed towards the Rat King like an arrow...
