Chapter 1834: Chapter 1834: The Ants Scatter, the Sky Clears
Li Feng soared into the sky, his presence like a blazing sun. The surrounding area, which had initially dispersed, drew the ant swarm back towards him instead of heading towards the Personal Guard.
Masses of ants sensed this and turned around. In an instant, the swarm surged towards Li Feng like a raging storm, blotting out the sky.
Looking at these ferocious ant swarms, Li Feng felt no fear. Instead, he saw them as small change flying towards him.
Domineering.
The domineering aura emanating from Li Feng swept across like a wave. This aura had been honed against a legendary overlord at Nine Layers Mountain, even if the overlord was nothing more than a skeleton now.
However, the life level of the Fire Ant was too low, equivalent to an ordinary Spiritual Beast. Confronted by this aura, they were nearly crushed, causing swathes of fire ants to burst mid-air.
The bursting fire ants were like skin-stripped pomegranate seeds; countless droplets of molten lava acid liquid, like ruby-red raindrops, hovered in the air. With a flick of his spiritual power, these droplets flew towards Li Feng, gathering into a giant sphere beside him.
Li Feng reached out to grasp this enormous molten fireball, and in an instant, the massive fire element power contained within it was absorbed into his body. The immense energy he expended was swiftly replenished and strengthened even further.
The ant swarm witnessed this yet knew no fear. Perhaps it was absent in their nature; despite the losses, an even greater swarm continued to advance.
Li Feng unsurprisingly welcomed this arrival.
Wave after wave, he cut them down. The deadly molten lava acid liquid became his supplement.
"How does he do it?"
In the area of Life and Death Valley, Ouyang Qiuhai noticed the anomaly thousands of meters away in the air. Swarms of fire ants rushed towards Li Feng like fiery clouds.
Simultaneously, countless fire ant bodies dropped like raindrops, as if both sides were locked in a great struggle.
Li Feng killed tirelessly, and the ants charged without fear.
The scene left those already overwhelmed by the ant swarms in front of them utterly stunned.
Sikong Yu was undoubtedly the main force against these fire ants. Ouyang Qiuhai had set up barriers for defense, while Sikong Yu wielded a long spear to fend off the attacking ants with the power of several Golden Cores.
Sikong Yu’s spear swept away swathes of ants, and her Vermilion Bird Fire Armor protected her from the acid liquid sprays, allowing her to kill many ants in a short time.
However, compared to Sikong Yu, Lei Ba and the others were far less capable. Despite killing many fire ants, they were still sprayed with acid liquid, rendering them in a sorry state.
Fortunately, the bulk of the ant swarm didn’t target them and could barely hold them off. The sudden redirection of the swarm raised alarm among Sikong Yu and the others, who changed their expressions.
The change in the ant swarm’s direction meant Li Feng had encountered trouble.
But they had no time to think; their retreat was blocked by demon plants, and more ants came flying.
In this desperate situation, many people showed signs of despair.
Fortunately, Li Feng’s reappearance drew the fire ants away once more. Otherwise, Ouyang Qiuhai wouldn’t have the leisure to trouble himself with Li Feng.
The number of fire ants in the Life and Death Valley was unknown, but a rough count was in the billions. Mere swarms numbered in the hundreds of thousands, a quantity even those with a perfect Golden Core would find troublesome.
Too many ants can kill an elephant.
This was why the valley was a place no one dared to enter.
Yet even such numbers were quickly diminishing under Li Feng’s rampant slaughter. The swarms that once blocked out the sun became sparse, with some even starting to scatter. Even though brave, the swarm still had a core.
Those king ants in the swarms had a certain level of spiritual wisdom and were clearly terrified by Li Feng’s boundless massacre. If this continued, they would all be extinguished, even if the valley’s swarm wasn’t all there was of the Fire Ant colony.
It was still a significant tribe, yet after two hundred years of proliferation, most of it was now vanquished.
In mid-air, Li Feng observed the scattering swarm, looking towards the rear. Although the battle continued there, it seemed manageable.
Sikong Yu continuously swept through the ant swarms in front, identifying one king ant among them. With a decisive strike, she took down the king ant.
With the king ant dead, chaos ensued within this ant swarm, unable to cause much harm and was soon wiped out.
Li Feng flew in close, and even from dozens of meters away, Sikong Yu could feel the blazing heat emanating from him. Despite her active bloodline, she felt Li Feng’s temperature. The difference between their Vermilion Bird bloodlines seemed almost too vast.
Sikong Yu even wondered if the Sikong family’s Vermilion Bird bloodline was impure.
"You...!"
Li Feng glanced at the hesitant Sikong Yu. "We’ll talk later." He swooped overhead, bypassing the mountain ridge towards the boundary of Life Valley, where a wall woven of vine tendrils blocked the rear.
Half of the Guard Camp attempted to break through a gap but could do nothing against the demon plant’s tendrils, some even ensnared and drained to their deaths.
Seeing this, Li Feng wasted no words, sweeping with a sword, his sword qi imbued with overwhelming flame power, tearing through the air and crashing into the vine-woven wall.
In an instant, countless thick tendrils were severed and sprayed with blood as the wooden wall in front was cut open.
The tendrils, sensing Li Feng’s approach, shot towards him like a swarm of serpents.
Li Feng snorted coldly, hovering mid-air as his Thunder Flame Golden Core reversed. The tremendous Golden Core Power surged, and around him was like a stone dropped in a lake, waves of fire ripples dispersing towards the approaching tendrils.
The moment tendrils touched these fire waves, they ignited instantly, lasting no more than three seconds before being consumed by flame power, exploding in turn. The sprayed blood became a misty haze.
The tendrils attacking Li Feng disintegrated in an instant, and sensing danger, the vine-woven wall began to disintegrate rapidly, with the demon plant in Life Valley sensing a mortal threat.
It swiftly retreated.
Li Feng wasn’t planning to let this demon plant go, immediately pursuing into Life Valley. The valley was vast, stretching hundreds of square kilometers, but with wings, it was only a matter of moments to scour it.
"I found you."
Li Feng swung the King Sword relentlessly, sword qi piercing the ground to search for the demon plant hiding below. Though it could traverse underground, it was soon exposed under Li Feng’s relentless attacks.
Being large enough to cover the entire valley, it couldn’t be small. As a sword pierced the ground, a gush of blood spouted forth like a spring, a telltale sign to Li Feng.
He promptly swung in all four directions of this sword.
Four streaks of sword qi shot forth, tearing into the earth.
