Among all the cultivators, An Lin's trio was the closest to the location of the explosion. Thankfully, they had the Gundams' protective barriers, so they were able to survive the explosion without much harm.
The Ant Queen was situated at the very center of the explosion, and the nuclear bomb had detonated within her body. It would be a miracle if she was still alive.
The sixteen powerful giant ants were more or less affected by the explosion.
They were all enraged by the sight of the Ant Queen being blasted, and they charged toward the cultivators with all their might.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xuanyuan Cheng became the targets of everyone. Especially Xuanyuan Cheng, who had detonated the nuclear bomb. Many of the ants were willing to risk being severely wounded by the other cultivators in order to attack Xuanyuan Cheng.
"Hold on everyone, the Ant Queen's aura has already been extinguished. The sixteen wounded ants are no match for us. If we hold on, we can easily win this battle! "Flying Sword God transmitted his voice to everyone.
Poor An Lin and the others. Ever since the nuclear bomb detonated, they had never stopped running. If it weren't for the Gundams guarding them, Xuanyuan Cheng would most likely have already been torn to shreds by the enraged ants.
The situation became a little chaotic. The cultivators circled around Xuanyuan Cheng's escape route and engaged in guerilla warfare, while the ants pounced toward Xuanyuan Cheng with no regard for their lives.
One of the ants completely disregarded the fact that one of its arms had been severed by Sword Immortal Ming Yuan, and it was going to crush the head of a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator in front of it just because the latter was blocking Xuanyuan Cheng's escape route.
The enraged ants made the battle even more intense, and the cultivators suffered more and more casualties.
As An Lin was fleeing on Dog Kinesis Flight, the interface in his mind suddenly flashed.
What the hell is this?!
He was given a fright by the interface, and he almost fell over.
When he calmed himself down, he came to his senses. Could this be … the system?!
That's right, I'm a man with a system!
An Lin's eyes lit up. There had been no response from the system for a year, and even when he progressed to the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, the system only told him to "cultivate hard and improve every day". He had almost forgotten about its existence.
He excitedly opened the system interface and saw that the special mission was flashing quickly.
Detected that the host is being pursued by the Ant Tribe. Now assigning a special decapitation mission:
[Host has personally killed three Soul Formation Stage ants.]
Time limit: Two hours.
[Mission Success: Wind Spirit Art has been upgraded to Tier 2 (Wings of Wind)]
Mission failure: Twenty Primal Stones will be deducted.
When An Lin saw this mission, his mouth twitched. He really wanted to smash the system.
Damn it! You want me to kill three Soul Formation Stage ants with my own hands? Didn't they see that he was being chased by a bunch of ants that didn't care about their lives? Now, he actually wanted him to turn around and kill the Ant Tribe? Did he not want his life anymore!?
"Go to hell!"
A fierce cry suddenly came from behind An Lin.
He turned around to see a huge ant enshrouded in black mist. It wielded a black wooden staff and was already within a hundred feet of the three of them.
Several dozen black skulls suddenly surged out of the black wooden staff, and they howled in agony as they swept toward the three of them like a tidal wave.
"Gundam One, Gundam Two, stop it!"
In the face of this fearsome attack, An Lin summoned his Gundam again.
Two shiny silver robots positioned themselves behind An Lin. One of them unleashed an Ionic Deprivation Protective Barrier to defend against the black mist, while the other unleashed a gravitational field to force the black mist ant down from the sky before crashing to the ground below.
An Lin didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing that the huge ant was being suppressed by the two Gundams when another huge ant rushed toward him from afar.
This huge ant was completely golden in color, and it was closing in on the three of them at an extremely fast speed.
"You dare to kill my mother? Even if I die, I'll kill you first!"
The huge ant roared as golden blood gushed forth from its body. One of its arms and both of its legs had already been severed, but it still pointed its other arm at Xuanyuan Cheng as its body flew toward him like a sharp golden sword.
Xuanyuan Cheng knew that he couldn't evade this attack, so he turned around and activated his Myriad Spirit Taichi technique.
A circular barrier of air appeared, enshrouding his entire body as the projection of a yin-yang symbol also began to appear behind him.
"Big Brother Cheng!"
An Lin also stopped and pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword from his storage ring upon seeing that Xuanyuan Cheng had stopped running.
"Die!" The huge ant had already reached Xuanyuan Cheng before stabbing toward Xuanyuan Cheng's heart with one hand.
"Heaven and Earth Reversal." Xuanyuan Cheng's expression instantly calmed down, and it was as if his body had become one with all things. His longsword rippled like water as he pushed it toward the seemingly invincible arm.
Just like that, the huge ant's body was forcibly pushed away from An Lin and An Lin.
In the instant that they were separated, Xuanyuan Cheng's sword projection slashed toward its abdomen, and golden blood splattered through the air again.
Then, Xu Xiaolan's flaming sword slashed down, engulfing the ant's entire body in scorching flames.
The huge ant's eyes widened in shock as if it was still trying to figure out how these three cultivators, who were running like dogs, could still put up any resistance.
In the next instant, An Lin had already used his Wind Sword, and his Evil-Slaying Sword sliced off the huge ant's head in a white arc!
"Ding Dong!" One-third of the mission completed?
An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this. He had killed one just like that?
Hmm … it seemed like it wasn't impossible to finish off a few half-dead Soul Formation Stage ants …
The three of them looked at each other before continuing to flee in unison!
An Lin swallowed a Spirit Blood Pill to quickly replenish his energy so that he could use his Wind Sword again.
Soon, another two huge ants broke through the cultivators' line of defense and pounced toward the three of them with no regard for their lives.
"I'm starting to regret joining in on the fun with you guys. I didn't have to be chased …" Xu Xiaolan said with a bitter expression.
If she hadn't been so suicidal and used fire to burn the Ant Queen's bottom, she wouldn't have been chased by a bunch of Soul Formation Stage ants.
"Don't panic, there are two more huge ants coming our way. Let's turn the tables and kill them!" An Lin's eyes lit up as his battle intent surged.
Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan both turned to look at him with incredulity on their faces.
Xu Xiaolan was surprised. "You were the one who ran away the fastest earlier, why are you suddenly so hot-blooded now?"
Xuanyuan Cheng was elated. "Classmate An Lin, you've really impressed me."
An Lin: "…"
An Lin was a little dejected. So this was how they thought of him …
A huge ant transformed into a ball of fire and hurtled toward Xuanyuan Cheng like a meteorite.
As expected, their primary target was Xuanyuan Cheng.
An Lin was wondering if all of the ants would chase after Xuanyuan Cheng if they split up.
However, there was no point in speculating like this. There was no way he was going to abandon Big Brother Cheng.
"Don't you dare escape from my sword formation!" A loud roar erupted in the distance as a sword of light shot forth at an incredible speed, piercing through the huge ant's flames and puncturing its body.
An Lin looked into the distance to find that one of the swordsmanship instructors had made his move.
"Pwah …" A large hole appeared on the huge ant's chest as its momentum was broken.
Its body was already riddled with wounds, but it still continued to charge toward Xuanyuan Cheng. However, its speed was getting slower and slower …
An Lin attacked. His Wind Sword Technique was as fast as lightning, cleanly decapitating the ant.
"Ding Dong!" Two-thirds of the mission had been completed.
Ha, what a great rhythm!
Right at this moment, a chill suddenly enveloped An Lin's entire body.
"Howl!" A dragon's roar erupted like a clap of thunder.
Four black dragons charged toward An Lin with terrifying auras.
A huge ant in black armor stood in the middle of the black dragons with a cold expression on its face. "You dare to kill my brother? I'll kill you first!"
An Lin cursed internally. This ant seemed to have a lot of health points!
