An Lin!
Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng both yelled in panic when they saw An Lin being engulfed by the black dragons.
An Lin had just used the Wind Sword and thus left Da Bai’s back. Da Bai immediately charged toward the black dragons after catching sight of his owner falling into dire straits. The teacher in the distance had just unleashed a sword technique and needed time to retract his arm before he unleashed another.
Xu Xiaolan and the others were still a distance away and could not get to him in time. As such, An Lin did not have any other sources of external assistance and had to take the attack of a Soul Formation Stage ant head-on.
This Soul Formation Stage ant had been severely injured but clearly still retained a lot of combat strength. The black dragons under its control sealed away all avenues for An Lin’s escape and pounced at him with fearsome power.
Fck it!
A fierce expression appeared on An Lin’s face, and black smoke exuded from his body as his aura suddenly became extremely powerful!
Origin Energy of the Netherworld!
Second technique, Shadow Tiger!
Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Da Bai, and the huge ant in black armor were all quite close to An Lin. All of them felt as if the sky suddenly darkened and everything became deathly quiet.
Within the absolute darkness and deathly silence, An Lin emerged from the shadows to appear behind the ant in black armor and slashed down silently with the Evil-Slaying Sword!
A black sword projection stretching for over a thousand feet sliced the arm and body of the black ant cleanly in half.
Light reappeared
An Lin’s silent attack had already vanished.
The four black dragons wailed in anguish as they crumbled, and the ant in black armor stared into the distance with bloodshot eyes, an expression of fear frozen on its face as its body began to fall to the ground below, spilling a fountain of blood in its wake.
An Lin’s Origin Energy of the Netherworld slowly dissipated as he experienced an overwhelming sense of feebleness. He too began to plummet toward the ground in exhaustion.
Big Brother An, woof!
Da Bai halted An Lin’s free fall expertly with his own body.
Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that classmate An Lin had such a fearsome mystic technique and sword technique up his sleeve,
Xuanyuan Cheng exclaimed in admiration.
Xu Xiaolan was a lot more indifferent to this. After all, she had already witnessed this combination once in the Abyss of Evil, so she was more concerned about An Lin’s condition at this point in time.
She flew to Da Bai’s side and asked in a concerned voice,
Are you OK?
I’m OK… We have to run, otherwise, the other ants are going to catch up.
An Lin waved his hand feebly and swallowed another Blood Spirit Pill. In perilous times like these, he was definitely not going to hold back with his spirit pills. After all, his life was more important than these pills.
Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng both nodded solemnly and continued to retreat while protecting An Lin.
Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, the mission is now completed and the Wind Spirit Technique will now be upgraded to level two!
In an instant, boundless information, observations, and true intent began to merge with his body.
The second level of the Wind Spirit Technique allowed him to conjure up wings of wind, enabling him to explosively accelerate over a short period of time. It was as badass as it was practical, much better than the rings of wind from level one.
An Lin’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but exult with his arms held aloft.
Hahahaha… I’m a man with wings now!
Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng looked back at An Lin with peculiar expressions but An Lin was always a bit weird anyway, so they didn’t think much of it and soon shifted their gazes away.
The battle between the huge ants and the cultivators was still raging, but the Ant Tribe was slowly falling to a disadvantage.
During this period of time, another huge ant broke through the defensive line and pounced toward Xuanyuan Cheng before it was cut down by the Sword Immortal teacher that was accompanying them.
Sword of The Four Extremes!
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao slashed his sword through the air and four divine swords appeared in mid-air, each of them imbued with the powers of wind, lightning, water, and fire respectively as they descended upon the giant blue ant all at once.
Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Sword Immortal Ming Yuan both used their restrictive formations to trap the powerful blue ant as the divine swords whistled through the air, finally piercing through the body of the blue ant.
The power of the four extreme elements surged violently through its body, seemingly as if it was going to grind away every particle of its existence into oblivion.
You killed mother, just wait for the tribe leader to exact his revenge on you all! You’ll wish you had never been born!!
The blue ant’s enraged cries vanished alongside its body under the power of the divine swords…
One giant ant fell after another as none of them chose to escape. All of them chose to fight until the bitter end, so they all ended up dead.
Gundam One and Gundam Two smashed the head of the black mist ant into pieces, then fried its body to a crisp with dragon flames and only set off to return to their master after scanning the remains to ensure that there were absolutely no signs of life left.
Xuanyuan Cheng learned from a voice transmission that the Ant Tribe had been fully exterminated and decided to reunite with Sword Immortal Ling Xiao with An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, as well as the Sword Immortal teacher that was accompanying them.
This battle was a catastrophic one, with over half the cultivators dead or injured.
The teachers set up an emergency regeneration formation, thereby enabling those who were injured to recover slightly from their injuries.
Among the Soul Formation Stage teachers deployed to participate in this mission, six were injured and one was killed. Among the hundred or so Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, there were over fifty injured and eight who had fallen in battle.
This was the first time that An Lin had experienced comrades falling around him, and he fell into silence. When he saw the bodies of the deceased lined up in a row by the teachers, he felt a sense of profound sadness and uneasiness.
One of the cultivators’ bodies could not be recovered as it had been burnt to ashes by an ant.
While some others had been decapitated to become headless corpses…
The deceased Soul Formation Stage teacher had had his heart smashed into pieces by the blue ant and died instantly at the scene.
An Lin did not understand why they had to pay such a heavy price even after using the nuclear bombs and having the battle under their control the whole time.
If they didn’t have the nuclear bombs, what would the battle be like? An Lin did not dare to think…
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao had also planned for a scenario where the nuclear bomb failed. In that case, they would simply have to kill the Ant Queen at all cost then stage a retreat, but there would definitely be a lot more casualties than what they suffered now.
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao placed the bodies of the deceased cultivators into his storage ring and headed to the epicenter of the nuclear bomb explosion with a few other teachers.
There were still thick plumes of smoke lingering in the air. They were not afraid of the radiation, but they still chose to survey the scene from afar with their divine senses.
Aside from her head, her whole body had been decimated by the extreme temperatures.
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao suddenly remarked.
A surprised expression appeared on all the other teachers’ faces. They were shocked that the head of the Ant Queen could be so durable. Its durability probably exceeded that of all spirit tools in this world.
They used an immortal spell to drag the head of the Ant Queen out from amidst the debris. Although only the charred head of the Ant Queen remained, this was still something the size of a small mountain to all the cultivators.
Everyone who had participated in this mission all looked up at the Ant Queen’s lifeless head and sighed with emotion.
This battle is finally over…
