The yellow-and-green Mian Gu Black Forest, at the hottest hour of noon.
Everything had originally been deathly still, but bursts of air-tearing whistles disturbed it, shattering the stifling heat and dullness in the air. Within the forest, amid slightly distorted air, dozens of figures were constantly leaping and charging forward. The two figures at the very front were so fast that they seemed to be flying just above the ground.
A distance of six or seven kilometers required scarcely more than a few breaths for Azure-Eyed Baboons at least at the Apprentice Fourth Order.
"Click, click, click~~~~"
A Vajra Ant acting as a sentry spotted Iron Fist at the head of the group. Its two forelimbs rubbed together rapidly, signaling the clan.
"Roar, seek death!"
Iron Fist's eyes went wide as fists the size of small houses shot forward. Light cyan Origin Power swiftly transformed into a fierce gale that swept over the sentry Vajra Ant in the blink of an eye, twisting violently and instantly reducing it to a puddle of bloody pulp.
Without slowing down, Iron Fist continued charging. Only after passing the bloody mess did he discover that the area ahead had changed completely. Vast stretches of Ancient Wood had been felled by the Vajra Ants and piled haphazardly on the ground, while anthills five or six meters tall were connected by streams of extraordinarily savage-looking marks across the ground...
"Damn it, these Vajra Ants are nothing but lowly destroyers!"
Gale smashed aside two fallen Ancient Woods blocking the way and cursed viciously. Looking into the distance, he saw that the Vajra Ant Clan had transformed dozens of kilometers of surrounding land into a battlefield. Restoring it afterward would be nearly impossible.
"Don't worry about that. Deal with them first!" Iron Fist leaped onto the remains of a fallen tree and spoke in a deep voice. Compared to the Vajra Ant Clan's invasion, a little environmental destruction was nothing worth mentioning.
"Fire Ants, we're here!"
The buzzing of vibrating wings had already sounded and reached his ears.
Just as his words fell, two fiery-red figures slowly rose from between the Ancient Woods at the far end of the countless fallen trees. As the wings behind them flapped, they constantly stirred up fierce winds. Streams of faint crimson ripples spread across their ruby-like bodies. Though they stood only a little over two meters tall, the aura they emitted was not the slightest bit weaker than Iron Fist's or Gale's!
"Roar! I'll take the left, you take the right!"
As soon as the words fell, Iron Fist exerted force, crushing the earth beneath his feet thirty or forty centimeters deep before explosively shooting forward!
Though Gale was reckless, he and Iron Fist had worked together countless times. Thus, the instant Iron Fist dashed out, he followed without the slightest delay, roaring back at the others, "Men, destroy the anthills! Kill the Alien Race!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The elite troops who had rushed after them roared one after another, brandishing Blade Wood as they charged.
Bang!
Iron Fist, Gale, and the two Fire Ants—the leaders of the two clans—finally clashed head-on at This Moment.
A faint cyan glow swirled around Iron Fist's fist. Carrying a howling gale, it smashed toward a Fire Ant like a massive hammer. The piercing sonic boom and savage white shockwave both displayed the power of this strike.
"Click, click—"
The rubbing of their forelimbs also produced sharp explosive sounds. The two Fire Ants, one after the other, rapidly climbed higher.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The slightly slower Gale slammed both fists into the ground, launching his entire body into the air. With the recoil force and the antigravity of the 'mini planet,' his speed was not the slightest bit slower than the two Fire Ants' flapping wings!
The black figure more than ten meters tall leaped up like Mount Tai bearing down from above, crashing straight toward the two Fire Ants.
Gale was as fast as Black Lightning, tearing across the sky.
In the Air, the distance between Gale and the two Fire Ants rapidly closed. Their auras intertwined, as though a storm were brewing in the air.
Seeing this, the larger Fire Ant flashed a trace of viciousness in its eyes. It suddenly beat its wings, sharply turning in the Air to evade Gale's frontal charge. At the same time, a crimson glow suddenly Lit Up at the tip of its abdomen, shooting a blazing stream of fire at Gale.
The magma-hot stream of fire arced through the air, bearing straight for Gale's chest.
Gale reacted with extreme speed, rolling through the air to evade the fatal stream of fire. But he had no wings, and his aerial agility was far inferior to that of the Fire Ants. Therefore, while he had exhausted his momentum and could not dodge, the smaller Fire Ant attacked from another direction.
Crimson ripples spread over the smaller Fire Ant's wings as two scorching wind blades slashed toward Gale.
Caught in a pincer attack with nowhere to dodge, Gale could only roar furiously, suddenly contracting his body before shooting toward the smaller Fire Ant like a cannonball. He intended to use his flesh to block the two wind blades while delivering a fatal blow to the smaller Fire Ant, severely wounding one first.
"Shhk—"
The icy wind blades sliced through Gale's shoulders like hot knives through butter, carving two wounds several meters long and deep enough to expose bone. Blood poured out like a waterfall, and the pain nearly made Gale pass out.
Enduring the pain, Gale swung both arms with sweat covering his face and a savage expression twisting his features. "Roar! Got you!"
The Fire Ant's sharp pointed legs and wing blades cut Gale's two palms until they were drenched in blood, but he showed no intention of letting go. Using every ounce of strength in his body, his palms tightly wrapped around the smaller Fire Ant's body, and the two formed a tumbling ball in the air.
Bang!
The two spun through the air as they plummeted rapidly toward the ground.
"Click, click, click~~~~"
The larger Fire Ant was filled with anxiety. If they were dragged to the ground, their smaller size would become a tremendous disadvantage. It hurriedly beat its wings and charged toward Gale, determined to stop him from dragging its companion On the ground.
"Roar!!"
Gale's sacrifice and miserable state deeply provoked Iron Fist. He suddenly became incomparably berserk, his body swelling another full circle as his two arms, like black granite pillars, swept viciously toward the larger Fire Ant.
He had unleashed the combat technique within his bloodline!
Bang—!
Iron Fist's massive fist collided violently with the larger Fire Ant's shell, producing a deafening impact. Though the larger Fire Ant's shell was hard, the blow still sent it tumbling backward through the air. Its wings trembled violently, and it could barely maintain its balance.
At the same time, the ball formed by Gale and the smaller Fire Ant was already plummeting rapidly toward the ground. At the instant before impact, Gale fiercely kicked off with both feet, forcibly twisting his body and positioning the Fire Ant beneath him, intending to use it as a cushion for landing.
Boom—!
The fall from High Altitude brought terrifying force, slamming Gale and the smaller Fire Ant heavily onto a patch of hard rock. Though the smaller Fire Ant's shell was tough, it still cracked under such a violent impact, and a pained cry came from its mouth.
It struggled to escape, but Gale's arms were like iron pincers, locking it tightly in place.
Though Gale was covered in blood, his hide was thick and his flesh tough. Moreover, the Fire Ant had cushioned the impact, so he was actually in much better condition than expected!
Unable to free his hands, he directly opened his huge bloody maw and viciously bit toward the Fire Ant's head!
