Chapter 110: An Extremely Cruel Method
Following Lian Yun to face the Evil Spirit Ant, Zhou Tong showed no signs of dissatisfaction. He carefully sensed the situation and said, "The one hiding behind seems to have a connection with the two ants."
Zhou Tong frowned slightly as he looked at Lian Yun.
Initially, he felt a bit pleased that Lian Yun had sought him out. It indicated that Lian Yun was not the type to stubbornly endure but understood the need for flexibility, which was a sign of stronger survival skills.
However, even ordinary ants were difficult to defeat, let alone two that shared a bond; it was akin to doubling their combat power.
Perhaps these two connected ants wouldn't equal four ordinary Ant Demons, but they certainly wouldn't be as easy to handle as just two.
Zhou Tong hoped Lian Yun would reconsider. Yet, looking at the dark long sword clamped between the Ant Demon's pincers, he found it hard to voice his concerns.
But Lian Yun declared, "Twin Blossoms!"
"There’s still about an hour before they mature!" Zhou Tong's expression grew serious; this was one of the reasons he wished Lian Yun would abandon the idea.
In his view, even if Lian Yun could defeat the two Ant Demons, it would likely take over an hour. By then, the Twin Blossoms would have matured and could very well be devoured by the two ants. Continuing the fight seemed pointless.
Nevertheless, Lian Yun unhesitatingly sent Zhou Tong outside the cave before quickly returning.
Facing the threat again, Lian Yun utilized the Sword Control Technique to exert control over Wu Tai, causing it to tremble slightly. He then increased the intensity while making it sway up and down and side to side.
At first, Wu Tai remained completely still, but as time passed, it began to show slight oscillations.
The Evil Spirit Ant took a step forward but quickly retreated half a step. It seemed merely to intimidate Lian Yun but was actually warning him not to act recklessly.
However, with Wu Tai in its grasp, Lian Yun was unwilling to back down.
Not only did he not retreat even a fraction, but he also intensified his control over Wu Tai.
In the end, Wu Tai was shaken off the massive fangs of the Ant Demon by Lian Yun.
However, Lian Yun did not immediately retract Wu Tai; instead, he allowed Wu Tai to sink and then aimed directly at the Ant Demon's neck.
With the Sword Control Technique, in almost an instant, Wu Tai pierced the Ant Demon's neck.
Yet, perhaps due to Wu Tai not being sharpened, as soon as the Ant Demon raised its head, the tip of the Wutai Sword had not yet embedded itself into its neck when another Ant Demon's massive fang swung in, directly knocking Wu Tai away.
At this point, Lian Yun retracted Wu Tai and immediately closed in on the Ant Demon that had been in front.
The attack just now had infused Sword Intent into this Ant Demon, causing it to experience some dizziness. At this moment, Lian Yun dashed beneath it—not to attack, but to use its body to evade the attack from another Ant Demon. He circled around to its back and swiftly shot out six Glow Sticks before retreating rapidly.
In just a second, the positions between Lian Yun and the two Ant Demons returned to their original state. To anyone with relatively slower reflexes, it might seem as if neither Lian Yun nor the two Ant Demons had moved at all.
However, the cave behind the two Ant Demons was illuminated.
Noticing that the rear Ant Demon had shown signs of retreating, Lian Yun immediately took half a step forward. Seeing it no longer retreating, he also halted his advance.
After all, Lian Yun did not possess Zhou Tong's abilities; at this moment, he simply wanted to restrain the two Ant Demons and prevent them from destroying the six Glow Sticks.
With both Ant Demons remaining still, Lian Yun also stood motionless. However, with the assistance of Nine Ghost Slaves, his body quietly broke through to the first-class realm, cleverly concealed by the Box formed from Yin-Yang Stage transformations.
From the very beginning, Lian Yun never intended to snatch the Twin Flowers and run away; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Zhou Tong for four more Nutrient Extractors.
Although among Evil Spirits, the Ant Demon is considered a powerful type, it is not the strongest. There are other species even more formidable than ants. For instance, the syringe-like objects used to create Nutrient Solutions are terrifying mouthparts of a particularly fearsome Evil Spirit.
Aside from some types of Evil Spirits, there are also many powerful mutated varieties. Even though they are unique and singular beings, their strength is absolutely undeniable.
If even two Ant Demons cannot be defeated, then Lian Yun feels that entering Fengdu would be tantamount to seeking death.
Thus, from the very beginning, he planned to kill the two Evil Spirit Ants as a prerequisite for stepping into Fengdu.
However, the two ants seemed uninterested in Lian Yun, remaining in a standoff with him, as if waiting for the twin flowers to bloom.
Ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes, then thirty minutes; they showed no signs of movement, as if frozen in place.
Gradually, Lian Yun's eyes grew colder as he focused on the concept of Birds Burning Their Nests, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.
Only then did the two ants seem to sense the threat, slightly lowering their bodies and becoming fully alert.
Whoosh~~~
The Sword Control Technique activated again. This time, Wu Tai shot directly between the two ants' pairs of legs.
In this way, even if Lian Yun's attack missed, one ant would have to dodge while the other attacked; otherwise, if both ants attacked simultaneously, they would inevitably collide.
However, as one ant moved, Wu Tai passed through and reached behind the two ants. With a swift 180-degree turn, he aimed for one ant's abdomen.
With a clang, one ant instantly turned around to attack Wu Tai. However, Lian Yun unleashed five Nutrient Extractors like arrows shooting forth.
Two of the attacks were directed at the ant facing him, while the other three targeted the ant with its back turned.
Faced with Lian Yun's ant, it used its massive fangs to block two of the Nutrient Extractors meant for itself but still allowed one Nutrient Extractor to pierce into the abdomen of the other ant.
What would it feel like to have your flesh forcibly extracted?
The Evil Spirit Ant did not make a sound, but the one being drained of its flesh instantly went into a frenzy. It slammed its body against the ground repeatedly, managing to dislodge the extractor from its abdomen. Then, with its massive jaws snapping open and closed and six legs trembling violently, it charged toward Lian Yun in an instant.
For normal ants, even if their abdomen is removed, as long as their head and thorax remain intact, they can still survive for a couple of hours.
This was why Lian Yun contemplated such a cruel method to extract energy from the Evil Spirit Ant's abdomen and even its head.
Naturally, Lian Yun was prepared for the rampage of the Evil Spirit Ant.
However, instead of retreating, Lian Yun advanced.
Previously, the two Evil Spirit Ants had been overly cautious and in sync with each other, making it difficult for Lian Yun to engage them in close combat.
But now, with one ant going berserk, their previous strategy was undoubtedly disrupted. Before the other ant could charge in, Lian Yun closed in on the rampaging ant.
With all his strength, he swung his sword at its neck, simultaneously unleashing Vibrational Force. Even if this Evil Spirit Ant did not die, it would surely be gravely injured.
