The Tek Awakened behind him had already charged over, drawing an alloy saber and slashing down. Its edge tore through the air, aimed straight at his head.
The move was vicious, clearly intended to kill him in one blow.
"Fuck!"
The minor leader cursed inwardly and hurriedly dodged backward.
The blade nearly grazed across his forehead. It was an extremely close call.
The Black Scorpion members were all violent by nature and hardly pushovers. They were immediately enraged.
"Die!"
The minor leader threw a right hook that landed squarely on the Tek Awakened's head. A crack rang out as the skull caved in, and the entire body was sent flying. He was clearly beyond saving.
Seeing that the fighting had begun, the other Black Scorpion members stopped caring about anything else. They drew their weapons and joined the battle.
"They came here looking for trouble on purpose! Hack them to death!"
The two sides clashed. The Black Scorpion members attacked brutally and without mercy, knocking down Tek Awakened one after another.
However, Elemental Type energy surged from the rear. The Awakened held firearms whose Crystal Cores flickered as they were activated.
Energy cannons of every color shot out like raindrops, beginning a relentless bombardment.
The Black Scorpion members were instantly engulfed. Some were blown to pieces before they could even scream.
The scene descended into chaos in an instant. The battle spiraled completely out of control. Shouts, roars, and the explosions of energy mingled together as the fighting turned exceptionally brutal.
Meanwhile, Lin Dong stood some distance away, quietly watching.
The sight before him reminded him of his time at the orphanage. There had been many black ant nests in the woods behind the building.
Lin Dong would often catch red ants and place them atop the black ant nests.
