The twin sisters wielded a blue water sword and a red fire sword, their sharp blades swiftly cutting down two Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants.
Timothy, a man as towering as an iron tower, grabbed the massive black hammer strapped to his back with one hand and held a chain in the other.
With a flick of his right hand, Timothy hurled the black hammer like a meteor, smashing the head of a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant into pieces.
The mysterious man hidden in a gray robe produced a long bone spike from his hand.
The bone spike, covered in sinister patterns, emitted a ghostly white light and pierced through the abdomen of a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant.
The four of them quickly killed or knocked down the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants surrounding the Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat.
In a flash, the four figures exited the Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat.
Seeing this, Beau also stepped out, quickly performing a hand seal to store the Green Spirit Wind Travelling Boat into his Storage Sack.
Beau then summoned his weapon, a long green sword.
At this moment, more Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants charged at the five of them, including some at the demon sovereign level.
Seeing this, the five of them frowned and had to unleash their full strength to resist the pull of the swamp vortex below.
Each of them used their own methods to face the ferocious Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants.
The mysterious man moved through the air like a ghost. Each thrust of his bone spike either severely injured or killed a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant.
“That mysterious man is likely a Dark Cultist,” Leo concluded after observing the man’s attack methods.
Dark Cultists were known for their sinister and unpredictable attacks among Cultivators.
Keira and Holly, the twin sisters, specialized in water and fire techniques respectively. Their swordsmanship was agile and light, allowing them to dodge close encounters with Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants and strike when the opportunity arose.
Timothy, the iron-tower-like strongman, wielded a chain in one hand and the handle of a black hammer in the other.
Each swing of the heavy black hammer sent a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant flying.
However, the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants had incredibly strong defenses and vitality. Some that were knocked down would flail their legs before charging back into the fight.
Leo believed that Timothy was likely a Body Cultivator, known for their focus on physical strength. Among all Cultivators, Body Cultivators had the most formidable bodies.
Beau’s long sword slashed through, severing the legs of a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant and sending blood flying.
Meanwhile, Brody was not in a good mood. He had mocked Leo earlier for being paranoid, but now everything proved Leo right. The feeling of being proven wrong on the spot was painful.
Angry, Brody activated his family’s divine technique. Golden light burst from his body, forming golden runes on his face and arms.
He summoned a golden war blade into his hand.
Brody wielded the golden war blade against the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants. Each swing sent limbs and blood flying.
Lastly, there was Brooks, who now held a jade-like hard staff.
The white jade staff was engraved with Buddhist scriptures. Each strike carried a sense of Buddhist solemnity and strength.
Brooks stood on a lotus pedestal, swinging his staff. The Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants attacking him were swept away by the powerful staff shadows.
In the sky above the red swamp, nine people wielded their weapons, killing Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants while moving towards the other side of the swamp.
However, there were too many Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants. They showed no fear and kept coming in waves.
As time passed, despite their best efforts, the nine made little progress and moved only a short distance.
More and more Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants appeared in the red swamp…
“These beasts are really troublesome!” Brody slashed off an ant’s head with his golden war blade, blood spraying out.
But in the next second, another Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant slashed at him with its sharp forelegs.
Brody dodged sideways and countered with a slash that severed its forelegs before darting forward.
However, he only advanced a few dozen meters before more Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants surrounded him again.
Seeing the seemingly endless Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants, Brody regretted not taking a detour if he had known they would end up in this situation.
But there was no turning back now; they had no choice but to keep fighting.
“Everyone, please use your spiritual power to block your ears!” Brooks suddenly shouted.
Hearing Brooks’ words, everyone quickly used their spiritual power to block their ears.
Brooks stepped into the air and performed a hand seal at the front.
As he did so, white jade light flashed on his face, forming a lion’s head shape.
“Divine Technique: Buddhist Sect Lion’s Roar!” Brooks’ neck swelled as his robe fluttered without wind.
A visible sound wave emitting white jade light spread out.
Wherever the sound wave passed, dozens of nearby Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants were heavily struck. Some lost limbs or had their innards burst before falling into the swamp below.
For a moment, the space around them cleared within hundreds of meters.
The Buddhist Sect Lion’s Roar was a powerful group attack technique.
Although everyone had blocked their ears with spiritual power, they still showed signs of pain on their faces.
“Master Brooks’ Lion’s Roar is indeed formidable,” Beau praised Brooks.
“Mr. Morris flatters me. Though powerful, Lion’s Roar cannot be used repeatedly,” Brooks shook his head. “Let’s move quickly.”
The nine advanced further before more Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants surrounded them again.
This time, their attacks were even more frenzied and fierce.
Brooks swung his white jade staff, sending out dozens of staff shadows in succession.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each staff shadow struck down a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant in an explosion of blood mist, clearing the path ahead once more.
The nine advanced again but were soon surrounded by more Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants.
“It feels like these beasts are increasing!” Timothy felt on the verge of madness from fighting so many ants.
“Amitabha. If anyone has any special techniques left, please use them now. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes,” Brooks said solemnly.
