The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1983: Taking Them by Surprise

The group’s waiting soon received a "response." Following the "Fenghua Xueyue" four commanders of the Shadow Organization were thousands of family cultivators, who ventured deep into the dense forest. No one knew how they managed to arrive, and their movements were undetected by the Zheng family. There must have been some special means involved, though they did not expect that Ye Shikai had already anticipated their path.

"My goodness, so many people, truly a full deployment," Soul Destroyer and others expressed their surprise at the number of opponents, which even exceeded the Zheng family’s allies.

"Perfectly suitable for a complete eradication," Ye Shikai said coldly, sending orders secretly to gather hundreds nearby. These Dark Guards were the elite of the Netherworld Palace, staking everything on this occasion, even pulling guards from the palace headquarters for this decisive battle.

"Attack." At Ye Shikai’s command, the Dark Guards launched a full assault on the family’s cultivator team amidst the dense forest, shadowy and indistinct. The sudden onslaught took many by surprise, leading to significant losses. Many began to flee in panic.

"Who are they?"

Feng Ling and others quickly reacted. Having experienced many battles, they led the cultivators in a counterattack. The Dark Guards, being fewer in number, ceased their pursuit once the opponents regained composure, retreating into the mountains instead. With many people around, staying longer would lead to encirclement.

"Damn, they’re from the Netherworld Palace. Chase them; leave none," Feng Ling ordered, and everyone set off at once. The Dark Guards had mapped the area thoroughly, and once inside the trees, pursuit was futile.

"Commander Feng, they are too fast; we can hardly catch up."

"They are few; let the families encircle them. This group from the Netherworld Palace poses a grave threat and must be eliminated. I will report to the Family Head."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The other side of the forest.

"How is it, have they caught up?" Ye Shikai asked while running.

"Boss, they’ve caught up. The left rear is the Tang family, the right rear is the Gongsun family, and directly behind are the Wang family," Ghost reported forward.

"Looks like Chen Yuxin wants to use these allied families as cannon fodder first," Ye Shikai said with a hint of disdain. He had expected that these families joined mainly due to the Chen family’s martial force, unwillingly compliant. Should the Chen family falter, they might rebel. At the final battle, nearly all cultivators in Huaxia were gathered, numbering over ten thousand combined. Chen Yuxin intended to consume the Zheng family’s strength, ideally leading to mutual destruction for her benefit.

"These three families have long been our enemies; even without orders, they wouldn’t spare us," Nightmare said coldly.

"Good, I’ve also been displeased with these families, plus those women from the Shadow Organization. Let’s start with them," Ye Shikai nodded, suddenly stopping and turning to face the pursuers, who halted and faced them.

"Feng Ling, Xue Ming, it’s been a while, and you, Yueling, what is a major star doing in this desolate place?" Ye Shikai addressed the pursuers mockingly.

"Brother-in-law, return with us."

"Let’s see if you have the skills; we have hundreds of Dark Guards here. Test whether these families can handle them."

"Tang Can, a Family Head surrendering before the Chen family even attacks, people say you’re aristocrats, but to me, you’re just cowards."

"And the Wang family, aiming to expand in Yanjing without resistance, is pure cowardice."

"Indeed, just cowards."

"Haha, cowards, weaklings."

The Dark Guards joined in mockery, and though only hundreds, their laughter echoed clearly in the tranquil woods, openly ridiculing in front of thousands from these families.

"Damn, unleash the Mad Bees!" Tang Can cursed loudly, visibly enraged, as were the others.

"Hmph, attacking in numbers and releasing poisonous insects, truly despicable," Ye Shikai taunted.

"Damn it."

"Feng Ling, what now?" asked Xue Ming from the Shadow Organization.

"The Family Head ordered: leave no one but the brother-in-law."

"Then use the Mad Bees."

"Understood."

Members of the Shadow Organization stepped forward, removing wooden tubes and releasing swarms of Mad Bees, obscuring the moonlight like a vast net.

"Perfect, now is the time," Ye Shikai fired a signal flare.

Whoosh...

"Release the agents."

Suddenly, dozens of iron bottles the size of silencers were tossed into the air...

Bang, bang, bang.

The bottles exploded overhead, dispersing pale yellow powder over the Shadow Organization and three family members.

"What is that?"

"No idea, could it be poison?"

The people, uncertain of the powder’s nature, felt a hint of fear towards the unknown, especially at a critical moment.

"Oh no, those Mad Bees are returning!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

In an instant, the vast swarm "betrayed" and attacked the families, drawn by potent agents, rendering escape impossible. Ye Shikai knew the terror of Mad Bees; a single bite could be fatal, not to mention so many people, with no time to flee.

Screams and groans filled the forest as the Mad Bees plunged into the dense crowd like wolves among sheep. The cultivators stood no chance against the vicious Killing Bees, hundreds bitten, painfully collapsing without antidote; survival was impossible beyond minutes. Masses lay chillingly still amidst the decisive battle, supported by dozens of families and numerous sects, numbering over ten thousand. A frontal clash assured significant casualties, and leniency from Ye Shikai meant misfortune for his own men.

"Damn, how did this happen? Retreat, everyone!" Though unsure of the situation, Feng Ling knew they must leave or face total annihilation.
