My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 500 - 501: The Six Insect Emperors in Terror!

Gu Xing was the one who had just shown up.

He scanned the chaotic battlefield quickly, and spotting the wounded Fei Yue made his expression grow a bit somber.

Next, his attention turned to the seven Insect Emperors, who had paused their actions in confusion due to his sudden arrival.

Right away, his stare fixed on the most distinctive among those seven Insect Emperors.

The reason? It possessed just one massive claw!

That creature was the very same one that had previously driven him to escape into the Angel Realm.

And here they were, facing off once more...

Now was the moment to even the odds!

Moments later, from the Void passage behind Gu Xing, several figures radiating intense auras emerged step by step.

At the forefront stood Liu Li, brimming with full strength.

She was the one who had unleashed that earlier sword attack.

Following Liu Li came Qing Shuang, Tushan Yueli, Vera... along with the rest of the Guardian Beasts.

Right then, none of the Guardian Beasts worried about the threats looming before them; instead, their gazes locked onto Fei Yue.

Observing the utterly dazed young girl, Gu Xing spoke in a measured tone:

"What's wrong? You don't know who we are anymore?"

Gu Xing's words weren't forceful, and they even held a touch of playful mockery.

Yet for Fei Yue, hearing them shattered her emotional barriers in an instant.

The resolve she'd mustered, the terror from her hopeless plight, the overwhelming joy at spotting rescuers...

All those tangled, powerful feelings erupted like a flood from a broken levee, sweeping away every mask she wore.

"M-Master... S-Sister..."

Fei Yue gazed at the well-known face right in front of her, then at the worried expressions of those behind him, including Liu

"Waaa—!!"

She could no longer contain herself, bursting into tears just like a mistreated child finally reuniting with a protector.

Ignoring all sense of dignity, she wailed from the depths of her heart.

Her tears streamed down like shattered beads, blending with the blood and grime smeared across her cheeks.

She completely overlooked the perils around her and, in a blur, lunged straight into Gu Xing's arms.

"Waa... I... I'm terrified... so terrified... I figured I'd never meet you all again... I thought those hideous bugs would devour me... Waa..."

Her sobs echoed with deep-seated dread.

Where had the fierce resolve gone, the one prepared to fight to the death with the Insect Emperor?

The impact from Fei Yue jolted Gu Xing a little, but he swiftly wrapped one arm around her in a solid hold.

With his free hand, he softly stroked her back:

"Everything's fine now, it's all good, we're all here... you're safe..."

At the same time, Qing Shuang approached with misty eyes, her face set in a serious scowl as she lightly knocked on Fei Yue's forehead.

"You silly girl! Who gave you permission to wander off alone like that?!"

"And now you've gotten yourself all filthy! Why bawl like this, making yourself look even messier?!"

Despite the scolding tone in her words, Qing Shuang's touch remained exceptionally tender.

She summoned a cluster of refreshing mist and delicately cleaned the bloodstains and filth from Fei Yue's face.

The chilly mist eased the puffiness around Fei Yue's eyes, and her weeping slowly eased off.

Still, she gripped Gu Xing's clothing tightly, refusing to release it.

Noticing Fei Yue settling down, Gu Xing felt a wave of relief wash over him.

He never imagined that Fei Yue had already claimed the Divine Position of the Insect Realm and earned its recognition.

With that in mind, their following objective grew straightforward.

Gradually, his eyes moved toward the seven Insect Emperors.

He had zero interest in relying on this repulsive species.

Even without the Insect Race's aid, victory over the Demon Race remained within reach.

"Were you the ones trying to hurt my Guardian Beast earlier?"

His voice stayed even, stripped of any feeling.

Yet this simple query, paired with the menacing Guardian Beasts at his back,

weighed down on the seven Insect Emperors with an unmatched intensity.

"Insolent!"

"Barging into the Insect Realm and still spouting threats! You'll all serve as fodder for our kind's advancement!"

"Fodder?"

Gu Xing cocked his head a fraction, seemingly mulling over the term.

A chilly laugh escaped him shortly after.

"Buzz—!!!"

A streak of sword gleam burst forth from beside Gu Xing.

Liu Li sprang into action!

The wild, swirling space at the Insect Realm's border fell eerily still for a brief instant.

The instant after.

"Pop!"

A noise as soft as a bubble popping.

A tiny puncture formed without a sound on the forehead of the biggest Insect Emperor.

The ferocity in its multifaceted eyes halted abruptly.

Following that, its enormous form crumbled like an eroded statue, breaking apart bit by bit into the finest particles, scattering away into the turbulent emptiness.

With a single blow,

the Insect Emperor perished!

Such was the might of Liu Li, empowered to her peak by him.

For the other six Insect Emperors, the light in their compound eyes hardened in shock, swiftly morphing into sheer horror and... dread!

What in the world had just occurred?!

This defied everything they knew.

Not even facing the Demon God had instilled such utter powerlessness.

It felt as though they existed on entirely different planes!

Gu Xing, however, dismissed these bugs entirely, treating his deed as mere trivia.

He glanced down tenderly at Fei Yue cradled in his arms, her feelings now steady though she still clung like a frightened cub to his coat, and asked softly:

"Fei Yue, do you want to handle the rest yourself? We're all here, so you can go at your own pace."

His goal was obvious: offering Fei Yue a way to unleash her pent-up fury.

But at those words, Fei Yue shook her head firmly.

She pressed her face further into Gu Xing's chest, her voice coming out stuffy with a sniffle:

"No... with Master around, with Sister here, I don't feel like doing it on my own."

She raised her teary violet eyes to meet Gu Xing's, then darted a quick look at Qing Shuang nearby.

Out there by herself, she embodied the mighty deity of the Insect Realm.

Yet beside her master and sister, she yearned simply to be Fei Yue...

Free to drop her guards, turning back into the young girl who could act spoiled, show weakness, and bask in protection.

Grasping her intent, Gu Xing nodded in understanding.

He never pushed his Guardian Beasts to stay tough and self-reliant every moment.

Leaning on one another, embracing both fragility and power—that's the true essence of their bond.

"Alright."

With that, he lifted his gaze once more, settling it on the six Insect Emperors trapped in hesitation.

Any lingering softness vanished from his eyes, replaced by pure composure and a deep, icy dominance.

"You talked about fodder earlier."

Gu Xing stated it flatly, like declaring something inevitable.

"The Insect Race's existence and growth rely on constant consumption! The weak fall to the strong—that's your eternal rule."

The six Insect Emperors, baffled, pulled back warily, their multifaceted eyes swirling with uncertainty over this fearsome human's plans.

"So..."

"I'll grant you an opportunity!"

"Survive one clash with Liu Li, and I'll spare you!"
