Out of the 50 odd people from Linhai College, only 20 of them were able to safely return to the stone.
Out of those professors and teachers, there were people like Xi Yan who were eager to escape. However, there were also those who fought bitterly at the back to protect the students.
Those who were able to safely return to the snow pattern stone were only 4 grade 6 experts along with some students. Only a few of them reached grade 4 xiantian or out of body realm.
They were all risking their lives to strengthen the basic spiritual formations that Zong Shou had set up. Luckily, they were all from the same sect and what they learned was similar. There was no conflict between the beast crystals and the spirit runes and talismans that were placed separately.
Zong Shou took a look at these people and didn't dare to be interested. Following which he frowned. Out of this group of people, he didn't see Gong Xinran's brother.
He looked out into the distance, only to see a black and red ant wave swarming over. Each one of them was half a person tall and the size of a water vat, looking really vicious. Black flames were burning on their bodies, and their carapaces were translucent and sparkling like scarlet crystals.
However, in front of the ant wave, there were a few people who were trying their best to escape. One of them was Gong Xinran's brother.
Zong Shou's expression relaxed as he signaled towards Zong Yuan. The latter rose up into the air, his body like lightning. In just a moment, he was in front of the ant wave.
Many spear shadows were like a storm as they charged forwards. Using the power of the lightning to stimulate and push, there were actually numerous purple spear shadows with electric currents. Tens of thousands of them drowned out the ant wave.
Sōmorime's eyes instantly lit up.
This move was known as maniac lightning thousand blades, it was the best move to show the maniac lightning spear sense. That day, he had used it on Xiong Kui in front of Zong Yuan.
At this moment, Zong Yuan had already learned it. Although his control wasn't as good as his, he could only achieve 20% accuracy. However, the overbearingness of this spear was above his in the past!
Along with that spear shadow, a fierce and intense energy current surged in all directions!
Instantly, dozens of Demonic Fire Crystal Ants were completely torn into pieces by the ferocious spear aura!
The surrounding crystal ants were also shaken by the wind, their bodies losing their balance and they were on the verge of falling.
Just as the ant tide paused for a moment. Zong Yuan turned around and grabbed Gong Xinran's brother, not daring to delay at all. With a leap, he returned to the giant rock.
The rest of the people also seized this opportunity and continued to run madly. By the time the ant tide recovered, there were already several people who were lucky enough to escape to the giant rock. One of them was Zhong Lishuang.
Only one person's speed was slightly slower, and he was practically devoured by the ant tide in front of everyone. In the blink of an eye, other than some blood splattering on the ground, he disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't just the people from the Overgrown Forest Academy who were speechless and shocked. Zong Yuan also felt a chill in his heart. Looking at the number of ants, there were more than 3,000 of them.
With just a rough count, there were over ten thousand Demon Fire Crystal Ants. The soldier ants that were 2 grades higher hadn't even appeared.
Just now, if he reacted a little slower or fought a little longer, he might not have been able to return safely.
Xi Yan's eyes were dark and cold. When he saw Zong Yuan return safely, for some reason, disappointment flashed in his eyes. Taking in a deep breath, he cupped his fists at Zong Shou, "Thank you your highness for reminding us and laying out the spiritual formation such that we have a place to hide! This time your subordinate acted to save the lives of my few disciples, I am really grateful! "
Zong Shou glanced at him and was too lazy to bother about him. Even the people from Linhai Academy had looks of disdain on their faces.
Those students with normal backgrounds were okay, but people like Zhong Lishuang who had family power to rely on all looked coldly at Xi Yan. Some people even wanted to skin this person alive.
Xi Yan felt slightly awkward, coughing lightly and not saying anything more. He acted like he was paying attention to the spiritual formation and the situation of the Demon Fire Crystal Ants, looking below.
Those Crystal Ants instantly surrounded the 2 giant stone pillars such that not even a drop of water could pass through.
On the side of Linhai Academy, what they laid out was a lightning formation. As long as these Crystal Ants got close. Then, there would be tens of lightning slashing down. Along with the tens of spirit masters on the platform activating spiritual talismans at the same time, they instantly killed 60 odd Demon Fire Crystal Ants. It caused the Ant Wave to back off slightly.
The area that Zong Shou occupied was a cold element spiritual formation.
Xi Yan's sharp senses noticed that most of the Demon Fire Crystal Ants weren't willing to get close. Only then did he remember that Crystal Ants loved heat and feared cold. Naturally, they were afraid of that area and wouldn't easily get close.
Occasionally, there would be tens of Demon Fire Crystal Ants that flapped their wings and jumped hundreds of feet high, trying to jump onto the top of the giant stone.
Only to see a few sword glows appear, instantly smashing the flying Crystal Ants into pieces. They disappeared once more, merging into the void.
Xi Yan's heart turned cold. He originally thought that the 2 of them would defend a stone alone. Even with an expert like Zong Yuan, it should be tough. At this moment, he totally retracted his thoughts, the dirty thoughts in his heart instantly disappearing without a trace.
He could only worry that with the situation today, even if they escaped, they wouldn't be able to avoid death.
The Demon Fire Crystal Ants probed a few times and left 200 corpses. They temporarily retreated a thousand feet out like they were waiting for something.
However, it caused everyone to feel even more nervous. They all knew that the truly tough time hadn't arrived yet. They all hurriedly continued to prepare spells and talismans.
Zong Shou took out some of his attention and looked at the teen beside him who was trembling, obviously still in fear.
"You are Gong Xinran's Brother? You are called Gong Yue? "
"Your highness knows me?"
Gong Yue came back to his senses, following which his eyes lit up, "My sister often mentioned your highness in her letters. However, during this year, we lost contact with her for a long time. "
Zong Shou nodded his head, casting a spell with his right hand in his sleeves. He didn't make a sound as he laid out an illusionary technique around his body. Following which, he took out the book of martial secrets from his heaven and earth bag and tossed it over.
"Your sister took this from an ancestor of your Gong family and asked me to pass it to you. Inside there are some annotations from your ancestor as well as some secret techniques of your Gong family. It should be of great help to your cultivation. "
Gong Yue received the scripture in astonishment. When he flipped it open, his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
Martial secrets written by 3 saints, all aristocratic families saw it as a secret treasure. Who knew that he would be able to obtain it.
Following which, just as joy rose up, Gong Yue thought about his sister. Just as he was about to ask Zong Shou about her whereabouts, he heard a buzzing sound in his ear.
Only to see hundreds and thousands of Red Crystal Ants flying over from the horizon. This time they were all flying ants with 4 pairs of wings. Although there weren't many of them, they were all grade 5 and above. One of them was the most ferocious, having 6 wings. Its body was slightly smaller but it was like a king, occupying the center of the flying ant swarm. Its compound eyes shone with a merciless glow as it looked down.
The ant swarm below all split up into several paths. Hundreds of demon fire crystal ants that were 2 times larger than normal crystal ants walked out from within.
The people on the stone pillars all held their breaths. Out of the grade 6 experts here, along with the grade 5 peak Zong Yuan whose strength was immeasurable, there were only 5 of them.
After the ant swarm gathered once more, they stopped for a moment. Suddenly, more than a hundred flying ants rushed down towards the highest rock.
Dozens of soldier ants, with a few of their limbs moving forward, pounced towards the giant rock with the speed of a normal person.
With a leap, he spread his wings and soared over two thousand feet into the air before gliding back down.
When the Linhai College people saw that, even those who were grateful before couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Some of them were even secretly gloating over his misfortune.
Zong Shou's lips curled up in a mocking manner. These demon fire crystal ants were strong but they didn't have a brain. Were they bullying them because they had fewer people?
Zong Yuan was prepared, the purple lightning spear instantly disappearing from his hand. Then, an even more tyrannical intent than before suddenly surged out. Only to see a few purple lights jumping around like lightning. Tens of flying ants had their brains pierced and swiftly fell down.
In the end, the dozens of purple lightning bolts all gathered together and formed a spear shadow, instantly piercing through the bodies of the two sixth grade soldier ants!
However, his body seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, panting slightly as he took half a step back.
Luckily, the spiritual formation was activated at this moment. A magnetic force was instantly activated. It caused the tens of soldier ants to become several times heavier. They directly fell from the sky, either smashing into one another or smashing into the stone pillars.
The hardness of the snow pattern stone was already strengthened by Zong Shou's spells. It wasn't damaged at all, instead causing those soldier ants to feel dizzy from smashing into it.
The 36 bamboo leaf cold swords were activated at the same time. Quick as lightning, the 4 grade 6 soldier ants were instantly sliced into pieces!
At this moment, Zong Shou also grabbed the lightning winged sword. Little Gold's body instantly attached onto it, causing this spiritual weapon to strengthen once more. It was close to a grade 7 spiritual weapon!
The lightning winged Yang snake once again turned into a lightning glow, wrapping around his right arm.
First, he took in a light breath, following which he pulled out his sword. Instantly, the sword shadow flashed, bringing with it a sharp whistle as it sliced through the air around the stone pillars, filling up the gaps that Zong Yuan's maniac lightning spear couldn't reach.
So long as the violet sword light passed by, regardless of whether it was the sand that was as fine as a mustard seed or the enormous soldier ants, everything was directly sliced apart!
Moreover, it wouldn't add any more slashes, not wasting any energy. Along with the spiritual formation as well as Zong Yuan's spear, it sealed up all the space.
In just a dozen breaths, 60 odd flying ants were killed by the sword light and spear shadow.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the body of the flying ant king flashed, turning into a streak of light, mixing into the ant swarm as it slashed over.
Zong Shou's eyes turned cold. Following which he scoffed coldly. He had waited for this fellow for a long time!
A red and blue colored blade light suddenly shot out from his sleeves. It brought with it the world shocking true energy, leaving behind an afterimage in the eyes of the grade 6 experts as it slashed over. (To be continued.
