Chapter 326 Slaying the Queen Ant, Leaving the Forbidden Area.
"No, I must kill it as soon as possible!"
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo immediately pictured Dong Tianchi wielding a soul-guided blade, brutally slashing at the Black Sand Dragon.
Then, with a "whoosh!" sound, Xuan Mo ran his hand across the "Vajra" point, and the rudimentary soul-guided blade instantly appeared in his hand.
Clearly, this time, Xuan Mo intended to emulate Dong Tianchi's fighting style, utilizing the power of a soul-guided weapon.
Because if he used soul skills to attack, and the Queen Ant's exoskeleton defense withstood it, it would mean the entire effort was wasted.
However, by using a blade-shaped soul-guided weapon, and by inputting a large amount of his own soul power, allowing its sharpness to strike the Queen Ant's head joint, he could potentially decapitate it in one strike.
But before that, the person protecting the Queen Ant…
"Gluttonous Divine Thunder Tribulation!"
Amidst the rising flames, a blood-red light flashed, instantly changing the color of the sky. Simultaneously, bolts of lightning surged like divine dragons above, before striking down on the spot.
"Boom boom boom..."
To the astonishment of Dong Tianchi and the others, all nine bolts of lightning struck the Queen Ant. However, the numerous thousand-year or ten-thousand-year-old Death Army Ants surrounding her seemed reckless, shielding her from the heavenly tribulation.
Moreover, the moment the lightning dissipated, the sand around the Queen Ant turned pitch black, completely ravaged by the lightning, and within her area, countless dense purple and black soul rings coiled. Clearly, apart from the Queen Ant, all the Death Army Ants within her area had been annihilated by the Gluttonous Divine Lightning Tribulation.
But this wasn't the end. When the Queen Ant was no longer protected by Death Army Ants, Death Army Ants from other areas rushed towards her to fill the gaps.
Xuan Mo frowned upon seeing this.
This was the scene that troubled him. Because at this rate, he had no way to break through the ant colony and get close to the Queen Ant.
At this moment...
Ma Hongjun, Dong Tianchi, and the others clearly sensed Xuan Mo's predicament and immediately took action.
"Phoenix Meteor Shower!" Ma Hongjun's fiery wings soared, unleashing a barrage of fiery meteors directly at the Death Army Ants swarming towards the Queen.
Dong Tianchi also commanded his mercenaries, who picked up their ranged soul-guided devices and fired wildly at the Queen.
Together with Ma Hongjun, Dong Tianchi and his men forcefully tore a gap in Xuan Mo's path.
The Queen, sensing the death of the Death Army Ants, stared at Xuan Mo with bloodshot eyes, filled with bloodlust and hostility.
But Xuan Mo was unconcerned. The ordinary Death Army Ants were currently suppressed by the firepower of Ma Hongjun and Dong Tianchi, preventing them from getting close to him, giving him peace of mind.
Looking at the Queen before him, a chilling killing intent flashed in Xuan Mo's eyes. He suddenly accelerated, taking a breathtakingly fast step, arriving before the Queen in the blink of an eye.
"Annihilation and Devouring Light!"
Just as he reached the Queen Ant, Xuan Mo leaped above it, unleashing a purplish-black beam of light.
Before the Queen Ant could react, Xuan Mo, wielding the nascent soul tool blade, channeled his soul power into it at an astonishing speed.
Instantly, something unprecedented occurred: rings of white light rose from beneath his feet, passed through his entire body, and finally converged in his hands, flowing into the blade.
The blade itself began to change.
From the hilt, the light of soul power gradually receded, then extended upwards from the tip, revealing its sharp edge.
"This is…"
Noticing the soul tool in Xuan Mo's hand, Dong Tianchi, not far away, was immediately shocked. What kind of soul tool was this? Its power far surpassed the level four soul tool he had just held!
At that moment, "Clang!!!"
Like a precious sword just drawn from its sheath, a flash of light appeared.
Xuan Mo made no fancy movements, simply flipping the blade in his hand and delivering a simple horizontal slash.
Before the queen ant could even react, Xuan Mo's blade severed her head, and a disgusting green liquid spurted out, while a black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring slowly rose.
"Whoosh!"
The queen ant's massive body collapsed, and she died instantly!
At the moment of her death, the Death Army Ant swarm, leaderless, erupted into unprecedented chaos.
But in the next second, the swarm retreated like a tide, disappearing without a trace into the yellow sand before Xuan Mo and the others' watchful eyes.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Dong Tianchi gasped, staring at Xuan Mo in disbelief.
One strike!
Just one strike using a soul tool!
Even with their cover, the queen ant hadn't even had time to react before Xuan Mo first stunned her with a pillar of soul skill light, then decapitated her with a single strike using a soul tool! With a "clang," Xuan Mo's right hand swept across the blade, a metallic clang rang out, and the soul tool was retracted into "Vajra."
Ma Hongjun, Dong Tianchi, and the others also reacted at this moment. After seeing the Death Army Ants that had disappeared on the sand, they quickly landed and went to meet Xuan Mo.
"Brother Mo, are you alright?"
"Brother Xuanmo, you're a true hero!"
Xuanmo looked at Dong Tianchi, who was full of admiration, and Ma Hongjun, who was somewhat worried, and waved his hand unhurriedly, saying, "I'm not seriously injured. It's just that although the Death Ants have retreated, this place is not safe to stay. We need to get out of here quickly."
Ma Hongjun and Dong Tianchi had no objections upon hearing this, after all, as Xuanmo said, the sooner they left, the better.
The night in the Gobi Desert was still cold and desolate.
The camp where Dong Tianchi and the others were stationed was also quite quiet, with only the occasional crackling sound of the fire burning.
Inside the tent at this moment.
"Brother Xuanmo, are you two really prepared? Are you sure you want to go to that forbidden area?"
Dong Tianchi sat cross-legged on the ground inside the tent, a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Brother Dong, to be honest, one of our purposes in coming to the Sun Moon Empire is that forbidden plain you mentioned. So we have no choice but to go. Besides, isn't this also a forbidden plain?"
At this moment, Dong Tianchi, who was still trying to persuade Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun not to go to the forbidden plain, was stunned after hearing Xuan Mo's question.
Then, Dong Tianchi gave Xuan Mo a deep look, hesitated for a moment, and took out a map.
"Brother Dong, what's this?"
The moment Xuan Mo unfolded the map, he realized that it was a map leading to that plain.
The information on it was incredibly accurate.
"Hahaha! Since a man has made a decision, what reason is there to object?! However, I also hope that you can succeed..."
"Hmm? Brother Dong, I feel like there's something behind your words? Is there something you haven't told us?"
