Martial Master

But he had no way to deal with it.

The Devouring Ants sustain themselves by devouring true energy; any attack from a martial artist is fundamentally true energy, and general attacks have little effect on them.

Swish!

A sword light flashed, illuminating the world. Within the sharp sword energy lay incredible sword intent, slashing towards the rear.

With a loud sound, sensing the arrival of these sword lights, the black canopy formed by the Devouring Ants instantly split apart in the middle, and then the dazzling sword energy was immediately wrapped by a large number of Devouring Ants, vanishing into nothingness in the next moment.

Aside from the terrifying sword light causing some damage to a small number of Devouring Ants in a short time, the rest of the Devouring Ants, after devouring the true energy contained in the Nine Star Martial God Technique, actually grew stronger, their aura becoming even more terrifying.

“No, the Nine Star Martial God Technique I cultivate is indeed thick in true energy, but it has no absolute killing effect on the Devouring Ants. Only the sword intent can extinguish some of the Devouring Ants; continuous attacks will only enhance the strength of the Devouring Ants.”

Buzz!

Immediately afterwards, Qin Chen unleashed a mental storm, but it was similarly ineffective. These Devouring Ants had a very simple mental structure, unlike humans and blood beasts; mental attacks had minimal impact on them.

Not only that, but these Devouring Ants were also quite cunning, closely watching him. No matter where Qin Chen tried to hide, they would follow closely, clearly tracking him under the stimulation of the cloaked person.

“I can't just sit here and wait for death. I refuse to believe that these Devouring Ants can infinitely absorb my true energy.”

Unable to think of a good method, Qin Chen gritted his teeth, going all out, his true energy surging to its peak as he continuously swung downwards to kill.

Dense sword energy transformed into a vast sword river, crazily slicing into the black curtain of Devouring Ants. Pfft, pfft, pfft, each of these sharp sword energies contained Qin Chen's strongest attack, accompanied by astonishing sword intent.

As they fell into the black canopy of the Devouring Ants, some of the Devouring Ants were immediately extinguished by the sword intent, but the next moment, more Devouring Ants wrapped around these sword energies, tightly enclosing them, and then continuously devouring them.

Incredible sword energy was swiftly unleashed and swallowed. Before the Devouring Ants could finish their feast, another wave of sword energy was already slashed out by Qin Chen.

Although the Devouring Ants could continuously devour true energy to strengthen themselves, their capacity to devour was not infinite; there was a certain limit. Once a certain extreme was reached, not only could they not devour anymore, but they would also burst their bodies from overconsumption.

Qin Chen aimed to exploit this method to force these Devouring Ants to their demise.

Originally, with the terror of Qin Chen's Nine Star Martial God Technique, he shouldn't have been unable to achieve this, but what surprised Qin Chen was that after absorbing his true energy, these Devouring Ants became even more terrifying, their speed increased. The black canopy transformed into a mass of black mist that rushed towards Qin Chen, intending to completely devour him.

“Come on!”

Qin Chen also went all out, in an instant, he was enveloped by countless Devouring Ants. These Devouring Ants flew around him, wrapping him like a rice dumpling, continuously absorbing the true energy from his body, while Qin Chen frantically urged his true energy.

Both sides swiftly fell into a kind of stalemate.

“Don't you want to devour me? Here, take it all!”

Qin Chen crazily urged the true energy within him, even the power of his bloodline was unleashed, a surge of thunderous blood light, alongside the activation of true energy, wrapped around his body.

Unexpectedly, a scene Qin Chen did not anticipate unfolded; upon contact with his thunderous blood light, these Devouring Ants immediately appeared frightened, crazily retreating.
