In Lin Xiao’s sight, he saw giant black ants, each several zhang tall or even twenty to thirty zhang tall, quickly crawling towards Black Cloud City.
Those giant ants were pitch black all over, with smooth body shells. Under the moonlight, there was a glossy black shine flowing across them. Their entire body surface looked like steel armour.
Their slender six legs were like long spears, hard and sharp. When they walked on the ground, they could pierce countless deep pits into it.
Even the antennae of the black ants were as hard as steel.
The most terrifying part was their mouthparts. A pair of mouthparts had a row of sparse sharp teeth. The outermost curved tips were the sharpest. One look was enough to know that was definitely the hardest part of them.
These giant ant race moved at extreme speed, like galloping. The closest ones had already approached within several hundred li of Black Cloud City.
Behind them there was still a dense black mass, countless in number.
Within Lin Xiao’s two to three thousand li line of sight, it looked as if something was quickly wriggling over, dense and packed, making people’s scalps go numb just from looking.
This giant ant race was also like the tyrant sky crabs, a natural army.
However they did not walk standing up like the tyrant sky crabs, but their defence and battle power were probably far superior to the tyrant sky crabs.
The most important thing was the number of the giant ant race.
The ant race numbers were undoubtedly the most vast, not to mention large sized giant ant race.
That number was probably even greater than that of spirit jackals.
In one go they surrounded the hundred li radius city from all directions until it was watertight.
They have already reached several hundred li away, yet still no attack? Lin Xiao also felt curious.
At this time, in the crowd there was a steady black clothed old man like iron standing in the void in front of the main gate.
Around the various directions there were also powerhouses standing densely.
Looking at the giant ant swarm rushing over at extreme speed, that black clothed old man still had no intention of making a move.
At this moment, on the side where Lin Xiao and the others were, someone could not hold back and made the first move. A dazzling and brilliant sword light instantly illuminated the entire sky. The sword light surged with rolling fluctuations, like a long rainbow across the sky or lightning cutting through the air, slashing horizontally towards one side of the giant ants.
At this time, around the hundred li radius city, the dense giant ants all had their pairs of compound eyes light up. They shot out streaks of glossy black light from all directions towards Black Cloud City.
Those streaks of light contained power that was strong or weak. There were countless of them, continuous and endless.
Seeing that countless light, even Lin Xiao could not help but feel shocked.
Some of those powers had already reached martial saint level battle power. Although individual battle power was far from being as strong as the Black Cloud City crowd, the vast numbers added together were quite terrifying and gave him a feeling that made his scalp go numb.
Who made the move! That black clothed old man’s brows jumped. He shouted loudly, then burst forward. At the same time he had no choice but to shout: Meet the enemy!
With that, the great blade in his hand slashed horizontally. A terrifying blade light dozens to over a hundred li long slashed towards the dense black lights shooting forward.
This old man was precisely the quasi emperor powerhouse from the city lord mansion.
As soon as he attacked, he erupted with his quasi emperor level cultivation aura.
This made the people rushing out from the city feel full of shock.
At this time, the others also made their moves one after another.
Besides the quasi emperor level powerhouse, there was one great thunder tribulation martial saint powerhouse, three little thunder tribulation martial saint powerhouses, high rank martial saints, and even more martial saints in number.
Streams of power bombarded towards the giant ants charging from all directions.
Lin Xiao and the five of them were also full of surprise. According to what the quasi emperor old man said, it seemed they had intended to let those giant ants charge to Black Cloud City first before attacking. But someone made the first move and triggered those streaks of black light attacks?
It is probably because they were waiting for the giant ants to charge here. To avoid hitting their own kind they could not use long range attacks. Lin Xiao secretly guessed in his heart.
The giant ants had huge numbers and were a clustered beast race with strong discipline. If companions had charged to the outer perimeter of the city walls, the giant ants from afar would definitely hold back and not use long range strikes.
At that time, people from inside the city walls charging to the middle position in front to attack would naturally be much easier.
It was just that in Black Cloud City’s rules for attacking the giant ant race, there were probably people like them who did not understand the rules here.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
At this time, streams of power collided together. Groups of dazzling and blinding light balls burst out. Vast waves like the sea erupted one after another.
The entire heaven and earth instantly became bright as if night had turned into day. Rolling energy fluctuations erupted everywhere.
The blade light stimulated by the quasi emperor old man collapsed streams of black light power and slashed onto one giant ant after another, chopping large patches of those giant ant bodies into pieces and continuing to slash far into the distance.
This one direction was almost swept clean. A hundred li wide position killed several hundred li into the land. With one strike countless giant ants fell.
Other positions also had quite a few powers bombarding over, killing large numbers of giant ants.
But a large part of the energy wave fluctuations, along with the continuously stimulated black lights, impacted towards the crowd around the city walls.
Some experienced people, after launching their attacks, quickly retreated and hid inside the array barrier.
Many people could not retreat in time and were shaken by the rolling waves until they spat blood and were knocked back into the array barrier.
Some people directly fell on the spot.
The city walls of Black Cloud City and the array barrier both received huge impacts.
The entire city shook violently.
The whole area seemed to have experienced a major earthquake, shaking non stop.
The safest place was in front of the city main gate. After all it was a quasi emperor who made the move, so no aftershocks impacted over.
Lin Xiao and the five of them did not rush to make a move. They wanted to see the battle power of this giant ant race first.
However it looked like if they did not make a move, the people on Black Cloud City’s side might suffer losses.
After all, the numbers were simply too many.
Low altitude advance, charge forward to attack. At this time the black clothed old man suddenly shouted.
With that, he himself slanted forward and burst ahead.
The others from the city lord mansion wearing unified black clothing also charged from various places through the rolling waves that had not yet dispersed and rushed forward.
To avoid the giant ants continuously attacking the city in groups, they could only charge into the middle of the giant ant swarm for close combat.
We will go over too, spread out. Lin Xiao said.
Hu Yue and the others also nodded and dispersed towards the four directions of Black Cloud City.
Black Cloud City had given them unconditional refuge opportunity. If they stood by and watched without helping, it would not match their character.
In a short time, Lin Xiao also charged to the position where giant ants were coming from ahead.
At this time, on the side direction, that Black Cloud City quasi emperor had already charged into the giant ant swarm. Bursts of booming sounds rang out.
Hmph, do you think my giant ant race has no experts? At this moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
A sky covering aura rolled over from the horizon. A black giant ant a full hundred metres huge charged towards that Black Cloud City quasi emperor old man from the void.
