Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Terrifying First-Order Combat Power
The demonized Ant King, after charging recklessly for dozens of meters, seemingly sensed the presence of Song Jian and roared towards the sky. The monstrous creature then blusterously charged towards the forest.
The color in Song Jian’s face drained. At this moment, he was over fifty meters away from the Ant King. Such a distance would usually make one undetectable, yet it seemed to have noticed his presence. Clearly, its mental strength was not inferior to his own.
Creak, creak~
One tree after another was sent flying as they were struck. With only a casual swing of its mandible, as though it were a serrated scythe, rows of huge trees were cut down at their base, leaving behind surfaces as smooth as mirrors.
Facing such a terrifying beast, Song Jian didn’t dare approach; the mere power radiating from it could overwhelmingly crush him.
Song Jian retrieved a potion from his pocket and forcefully threw it at the Ant King.
Suddenly, the humongous figure of the demonic Ant King was shrouded by a gray dust. Its originally shimmering black metallic shell also became cloaked in gray.
“Eyes of Doom!”
On top of a great tree, Song Jian opened the vertical eye in his brow. A dazzling silver beam, like a lightsaber, pierced towards the demonized Ant King.
In an instant, light scattered in all directions. The silver beam striking the Ant King abruptly halted it. The Ant King let out infuriated roars as its six legs continuously dug into the ground, trying to surge forward against the beam. However, its body was as if blocked by a thick barrier, unable to advance even slightly. It dug out several large pits beneath it in the process.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every second, the silver beam caused the Ant King over three hundred points of damage. This damage was not just physical, but also included mental damage. Its originally sturdy shell, weakened by 35% in its defensive degree, couldn’t withstand such a vigorous attack.
Its hard shell began to crack like tofu under the silver lightsaber’s onslaught, revealing the purplish-red flesh within. Large spurts of fresh blood and coarse muscle fiber flew in all directions. It was as if a rain of blood and flesh had fallen in the surrounding forest, where dozens of trees were splattered with blood and flesh, sizzling like they had been doused in sulfuric acid.
Exhaustion appeared on Song Jian’s face as he hurriedly drew a vial of potion for rapidly replenishing Mental Strength from his pocket and drained its contents. He was incapable of producing this kind of potion; every bottle used reduced his inventory. He had been reluctant to use it, but if he didn’t use it now, he might never get another chance.
The Ant King, in tremendous agony, spewed a jet of green thick liquid at Song Jian. The liquid’s intense sour smell reached Song Jian’s nostrils from afar, turning his face instantly pale.
Song Jian swiftly jumped up, and in mid-air he unfolded a pair of steel wings from his back, carrying him off to one side.
The green liquid soaked the entire tree he had been standing on, from top to bottom. In a matter of seconds, the tall tree, standing several meters high, was corroded into a pool of foul-smelling liquid.
Song Jian’s figure swirled in mid-air, tracing an arc, and charged back at the Ant King.
In his hand, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword carved a dark red trajectory in mid-air, savagely hacking into the back of the Ant King. Immediately, a deep scar emerged on its tough shell.
The Ant King, with its bulky body, found it hard to turn around. Song Jian, now with a pair of steel wings, continuously maneuvered to the sides and behind the Ant King to launch his attacks. His Rapid Sword’s attack speed was astounding, leaving the demonized Ant King unable to react. In vain, it kept spinning its body, kicking up clouds of dust, and letting out frustrated howls.
Song Jian didn’t dare linger after launching an attack. He would swiftly move on to the next target location. It didn’t take him long to slice off one of the Ant King’s hind legs.
With the loss of one of its hind legs, the Ant King’s eyes gleamed a sinister red. Lowering its head, like a heavy armored vehicle, it suddenly accelerated. freewebnoveℓ.com
This seemed to be one of its skills, the strength of which lay in the fact that it didn’t require much acceleration time to unleash its maximum power, thereby greatly reducing the limitations imposed by the terrain;
Moreover, the sprint was incredibly fast, even faster than Song Jian activating his Frost Sprint. Plus, given the massive size of the mutated Ant King, once this skill was activated, its power was simply unstoppable.
Song Jian slashed his sword through the air, striking the ground. By the time he looked up, the mutated Ant King had already charged tens of meters away, plowing a giant path through the forest. The broken trees lay haphazardly around him;
“This fellow actually knows how to keep a distance?” Song Jian was surprised. It seemed the monster’s intellect was not much inferior to that of a human.
The distanced mutated Ant King slowly turned its head around, its blood-red eyes fixed on Song Jian. It lowered its head and activated its sprint skill once more;
“Damn it, does your skill not have a cooldown time?” Song Jian’s face turned pale. Before he could react, the mutated Ant King was less than three meters in front of him. Its speed was almost like teleportation.
Instinctively, Song Jian held his long sword across his chest, his body reflexively performing the “Sacred Parry”.
Boom!
Song Jian felt as though he had been hit by a train, his entire skeleton made a frail sound, as if it would break at any moment;
Both his arms were inundated with severe pain as if his bones were shattered to pieces.
Huh~
Song Jian’s body, like a baseball, flew into the air, only to rapidly descend; he hit a large tree with a “pattering” sound, leaving a fresh, vicious streak of blood;
The vitality that had been almost full was instantly reduced by a third. This was still under the assumption that he fully resisted the assault of the mutated Ant King. If Song Jian was directly hit, even if his vitality was full, he would have been instantly killed by the mutated Ant King.
“Spurt~”
A mouthful of blood was spat out. Song Jian’s teeth were streaked with blood, making him appear particularly miserable. He struggled to stand up from the ground, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes as he looked at the mutated Ant King;
“Is this the strength of a first-order BOSS? It’s even more formidable than the lion eagle beast by three points!” Song Jian thought.
As miserable as Song Jian was, the mutated Ant King was even worse off. The previous Sacred Parry had fully rebounded the Ant King’s powerful attack back at it;
The mutated Ant King now had a huge fissure on the shell of its head, one eye already burst open. The entire skull looked like it had been smashed hard. If it weren’t for its strong vitality, it would have been impossible to rise again from such a severe injury if it were a human.
The mutated Ant King was now in a state of dizziness. Seeing this, Song Jian clenched his teeth, activated the Sword Shadow Step again, and pounced towards the mutated Ant King;
“I’ve got to risk it!” The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword began to emit a dazzling golden light. A fierce Sword Qi slashed towards the immobilized mutated Ant King. With a cackling sound, the mutated Ant King let out a piercing scream, a powerful aura suddenly exploded from within it. Within a radius of ten meters, it was as if a giant palm was pressing down from the sky, shattering all the trees into powder. Even the ground sank more than a foot in depth;
