Chapter 2843 The Strength of the Ant General

The ant general led a legion of golden-armored ants away from the giant ant clan, traversing mountains and rivers at high speed, to find the queen ant and bring her back to the giant ant clan.

The queen ant is crucial to the giant ant clan because the entire clan needs the queen's blood essence to help them awaken. Only after awakening can the giant ant clan be useful to their ancestor.

The queen ant's sudden departure from the giant ant colony may not have much impact on the colony itself, but it has a significant impact on the ancestor.

The ant general was well aware of how serious this matter was.

For him, there were precedents of the queen ant escaping from the giant ant colony, but each time the queen ant was immediately discovered, captured and brought back to the giant ant colony, and imprisoned again.

Even the queen ant had suicidal thoughts. Because of this, her soul was marked, and whenever she had suicidal thoughts in the future, the mark would prevent her from doing so. At the same time, the mark also became the best way to track the queen ant.

This escape was entirely due to the Queen Ant seizing the brief moment when she and the Ant Commander were not present.

Now, through the mark he left in the queen ant's soul, he can clearly sense the queen ant's location.

"Trying to escape from my grasp!"

The ant general decided that after capturing the queen ant this time, he must teach her a lesson so that she would know how serious the consequences of escaping would be.

The ant general led a group of golden-armored ants forward at high speed, and soon he arrived at a valley.

In the valley, he immediately spotted the queen ant resting in place.

Upon seeing this, the ant general immediately flew into a rage and rushed forward.

"Queen Ant, you dare to run away!"

The ant general led the golden-armored ants to this place and immediately surrounded the queen ant.

The queen ant showed no fear when she saw the ant general arrive with a troop of golden-armored ants.

She stood calmly in place, watching the ant general not far away.

"Ant General, you captured me and brought me to the Giant Ant Clan, where I served as their queen for many years. Now I no longer wish to remain as their queen. Go find someone else."

The queen ant appeared completely calm, showing no fear whatsoever at the appearance of the ant general.

"You bastard, what are you saying!"

The ant general flew into a rage, emanating a terrifying aura that caused the surrounding space to tremble.

The ant general's strength was extremely terrifying. He was the Dao body of the ancestor of the giant ant clan. When he was enraged, the world changed color.

"Queen Ant, get back here right now, or you'll regret it today."

The ant general, in an absolutely forceful manner, called out to the queen ant, telling her to go back.

Upon hearing this, the queen ant finally showed a look of fear.

The ant general was her inner demon. Faced with the ant general's furious outburst, the ant queen panicked and could no longer hold on, so she turned and ran away.

"Stop!"

The ant general darted around and instantly caught up with the queen ant.

He raised his iron-claw-like hand, intending to grab the queen ant's head, but his grasp missed.

"what!"

The ant felt a chill run down its spine, sensing something was wrong.

He turned to leave, but found himself surrounded by mist.

"Formation!"

The ant general's face was as cold as ice, and he remained completely calm in the face of the surrounding formation.

"What a clever ant queen! You actually have helpers here setting up a formation to block me. But do you think any formation can stop me?"

As the ant general spoke, his spiritual pressure erupted, and he began to forcefully break the formation.

outside world.

Jiuli'er sat upright on the flying boat.

She gently moved her jade-like hand, constantly manipulating the formation below to trap the ant general and prevent it from escaping.

Even though the ant general unleashed its terrifying power, causing the surrounding mountains, forests, and rivers to stop flowing, and even causing the surrounding space to tremble, it was still very unfortunate that it could not shake the maze in the slightest.

Jiuli'er's formation technique was passed down from the Earth God. At the half-step Breaker realm, there are almost no people who can easily suppress and break through Jiuli'er's formation technique.

Looking at the ant general trapped in the maze, Jiu Li'er smiled.

Simultaneously.

It wasn't just the ant general who was trapped, but also the entire army of golden-armored ants.

The Golden Ant Legion was trapped in another maze, a setup deliberately arranged by Zheng Tuo and Jiu Li'er.

According to the queen ant, the golden-armored ant army is even more terrifying than the black-armored ant army. It must be separated from the ant general, otherwise, the two will display unbelievably powerful combat strength after they combine.

now.

The ant general and the golden-armored ant army were separated and imprisoned. Zheng Tuo's eyes flickered as he looked at the imprisoned ant general below.

He now has two choices. One is to leave this place with the queen ant. He believes that once the queen ant is trapped, she will be unable to send messages out or escape the maze for a short time, giving him enough time to leave with her.

Yes.

He could suppress the ant general and then obtain the method from him to completely remove the mark from the ant queen's soul.

The mark within the queen ant's soul is ultimately a dangerous entity that could explode at any moment, and problems could arise at any time.

He tried using the power of light, but it was useless; he couldn't remove the mark from the queen ant's soul.

The mark seemed to have grown together with the queen ant's soul, sharing life and death, which made him very worried.

and so.

Now that we have this opportunity, perhaps we can try to find out from the ant general how to break the mark.

He had this idea and told Jiuli'er and the Queen Ant about it.

"Impossible, the ant general would rather die than tell," the queen ant said, not optimistic.

She preferred to run away as soon as possible, because as long as she left the world of giants, she would be safe, since no one in the giant ant tribe could leave the world of giants.

“It’s alright. Even if the ant general doesn’t tell me, I still have a way to search his soul and find out exactly how to remove the mark in your soul.”

Zheng Tuo's targeting of the ant general was not solely because he wanted to help the ant queen.

He really wanted to use the ant general to understand the ant queen and uncover what secrets she might still hold.

In his view, the queen ant was definitely not simple and must have a great secret.

Who knows, the queen ant might possess information about some kind of legendary elixir.

The more of a peerless elixir, the better.

Once he had this idea, he didn't hesitate at all.

brush!
He descended into the maze.

The ant stood calmly in place, seemingly waiting for Zheng Tuo.

"You've finally shown up!" Ant General's eyes flashed as he looked at Zheng Tuo.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"No, you are not important to me. Hand over the Queen Ant and then commit suicide here immediately, and I will no longer bother with you. If you are still stubborn and keep me trapped here, I can tell you that you cannot leave the Giant World, because my giant ant army will block the exit until you are completely killed here."

The ant general spoke arrogantly, showing no respect for Zheng Tuo whatsoever. It seemed that in his eyes, Zheng Tuo was already a dead man and not worthy of speaking to him at all.

Zheng Tuo was not angry about this.

He looked at the ant general in front of him.

The ant general was tall and straight, dressed in black, and about the same height as himself, appearing directly as a human.

"I've heard you're very strong!"

Zheng Tuo was eager to fight his opponent and use the battle to refine the sword immortal energy.

"You're courting death!" Without any further words, Ant General flashed in front of Zheng Tuo and threw a punch.

"So fast!"

Zheng Tuo immediately realized the difference in strength between his opponents.

Sonorous!

He used the Immortal-Slaying Blade to block the ant general's powerful attack.

Bang!
The powerful shockwave destroyed all the surrounding boulders and ancient trees.

Neither side gained an advantage, but the ant general had the upper hand.

Ant General fought Zheng Tuo with only his two iron fists.

Ant General's iron fists, like innate treasures, slammed into the Immortal Slaying Blade, making it clang and shatter as if it might break at any moment, which greatly surprised Zheng Tuo!

He had seen many body cultivators, but he had never seen one as powerful as this.

This ant general is definitely an outstanding figure among body cultivators.

He dared not be careless and immediately wielded the Immortal-Slaying Blade, unleashing the Blade Immortal Technique to battle the ant general.

In this battle, Zheng Tuo went all out, fighting without holding back what could be described as absolutely insane.

The ant general, who initially looked down on Zheng Tuo and didn't take him seriously, gradually began to take him seriously.

Although the ant general was arrogant and conceited, he was also a strong person and knew that one should not be careless when facing a strong person.

The duel between the two sides was exceptionally violent, and the entire maze was disturbed by their actions.

In such a fierce and intense battle, the golden-armored ant army in another maze began to stir.

They formed a battle formation and began to use their own methods to break through the formation and go to help the ant general in battle.

"Formation!"

When Jiuli'er saw the golden-armored ant army forming a formation, his interest immediately increased.

The formation formed by the Golden Ant Legion was extremely mysterious. Upon closer inspection, each of them emitted a strange luster, like Dao patterns, which were perfectly matched with each other and had to be combined to eventually form the formation.

Seeing this scene, Jiuli'er began to activate the maze with great interest, studying the formation formed by the golden-armored ant army.

However, unlike Jiuli'er who was relaxed, the Ant Queen was very tense as she watched Zheng Tuo and the Ant General fighting in the distance.

She knew very well how strong the Ant General was. Even though she was not weak herself, she would not last more than three rounds against the Ant General before being defeated.

He was worried that his little brother Dao Shisi would suffer a serious consequence, so he appeared unusually nervous.

The fierce battle continues.

Zheng Tuo, wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, battled the Ant General. Both sides fought with all their might, and in the ensuing frenzied struggle, neither could gain the upper hand, with the Ant General only having a slight advantage.

However, relying solely on these advantages to kill Zheng Tuo is clearly unrealistic.

"Boy, I did underestimate you just now, but with such strength, you're probably not qualified to compete with me."

As the ant general spoke, a set of black armor immediately appeared around his body.

Wearing black armor, he also wielded a black battle sword.

The ant general, with this appearance, suddenly surged in aura, increasing his combat power several times over, and turned around to suppress Zheng Tuo.

So strong!

Zheng Tuo felt immense pressure.

The ant general's combat power has been greatly enhanced, and Zheng Tuo is now being severely suppressed.

He had no choice but to activate his own domain to cover the surroundings in order to avoid being killed by his opponent.

Even so, his power was still suppressed.

Who is this ant general? Why is its combat power so terrifying? It's simply unbelievable.

Zheng Tuo suffered a great loss at this moment.

The ant general's combat power exceeded his expectations. Faced with such a powerful ant general, he could only manage to avoid being killed, and that was all.

In contrast, the ant general was decisive and ruthless in his attacks.

His battle blade swept across the sky, and with each strike, the surrounding space seemed to distort, displaying terrifying power that was truly astonishing.

Fortunately, Zheng Tuo's battle blade was the Immortal Slaying Blade, a supreme innate treasure, which was able to withstand the opponent's attack.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Despite being at a complete disadvantage in the clash of swords, Zheng Tuo was overjoyed.

What he liked most was this feeling of being suppressed, because only in this state could he cultivate at the fastest speed and refine the sword immortal energy in the most perfect state.

Very good, I made the right choice. This ant general is indeed a rare and powerful individual.

With this thought in mind, he went all out, holding nothing back, and wielded the Immortal-Slaying Blade with all his might.

The sword immortal energy began to be refined in his constant battles.

Because he was perfectly compatible with the Immortal Slaying Blade and even gained the blade's approval, he achieved twice the results with half the effort when cultivating the Blade Immortal Qi.

Given enough time, he can completely refine the sword immortal energy for his own use.

war!
The frenzied battle continued.

Gradually, the ant general noticed something was wrong.

Why was this kid in front of him getting more and more excited and stronger as the fight went on? He had clearly gone all out, his whole body filled with killing intent, wanting to kill him, but every time he was just a little short, every time he felt like he was about to kill his opponent.

Although he didn't understand why this kid was so difficult to deal with, he realized that the kid was bold enough to use him as a whetstone and a tool for cultivation, using it to train himself and become stronger.

"asshole!"

The ant will be completely enraged.

He is the Dao body of the ancestor of the giant ant clan, a person of noble status. How could he become a tool or whetstone for the other party's cultivation?

The ant general erupted at this moment and place, and immediately black mist surged around him, transforming into his true form.

It was a huge black ant, comparable to a mountain.

Its dark, armored shell was incredibly strong, and it stood right in front of Zheng Tuo, charging straight at him.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately swung his Immortal-Slaying Blade.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade grew larger in the wind, transforming into the shape of a mountain range, and slammed down hard on the ant general's head.

Sonorous!

After the ant took such a powerful blow head-on, Zheng Tuo felt an overwhelming force strike him, and he was instantly sent flying.

Pfft!

Zheng Tuo coughed up blood and suffered severe injuries.

He could clearly feel that the ant general's attack had nearly killed him.

This guy is terrifying. The immense force he just unleashed was filled with a primal quality; it was the purest form of power, the ultimate attack of a body cultivator.

If the Immortal-Slaying Blade hadn't helped him absorb most of the force, he probably would have been killed by the collision.

The realm of the half-step Breakthrough Realm is truly full of hidden talents; there are even such powerful individuals.

I'm afraid that even if my Golden Emperor Dao Body came, it would be difficult to easily defeat the ant general at this moment.

Zheng Tuo instantly realized the seriousness of the problem, and at the same time felt excited about it.

On the other hand, seeing that his collision had failed to kill the other party, the ant general became displeased and charged at Zheng Tuo again.
