1695 Sandstorm (1/2)

Seeing the sandstorm raging his way, Qingfeng Li frowned. The level twelve sandstorm was extremely powerful, swirling up countless grains of sand and tearing cracks in the air.

Qingfeng Li's group had been advancing in a path that led them directly toward the sandstorm; it was now too late to get out of the way. The sandstorm moved toward them at an astonishing speed.

”Seventh Fist, Shattering the Body!”

Qingfeng Li used the seventh technique of the Strangle Hell Fist, as black talisman scriptures radiated from his punch.

These talisman scriptures looked like a school of tadpoles, lighting up the heavens and earth as they smashed forward, cutting the sandstorm before them in half.

Boom!

With a loud boom, the massive sandstorm was abruptly blown apart. Countless grains of golden sand fell from the sky, back onto the ground.

Qingfeng Li's seventh fist technique of the Strangle Hell Fist was extremely powerful. It was capable of splitting apart even the bodies of self-cultivators. Naturally, a mere sandstorm was no match for the blow.

Behind the Second Prince, the dozen-or-so men in black saw Qingfeng Li split apart the giant sandstorm with one blow and were struck with shock.

Although they had witnessed Qingfeng Li's attacks many times before, and were aware that he was extremely powerful, the scene still surprised them.

The Second Prince stared at Qingfeng Li in admiration. ”Taking you with me into the Crimson Fire Desert was absolutely the right decision,” he said. ”If you weren't here and I ran into such a sandstorm, I'd had no choice but to flee or die.”

Qingfeng Li smiled. Waving his hand, he said, ”Everyone, stop the chitchat. Let's go and find my friend, Sky-Devouring Snake.”

Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Li Yang led the way, with the Second Prince and the score of black-clad men following behind them.

All of them shoved onward using their vital essences. They dashed forward like black cyclones.

A hundred meters ahead of them, Sky-Devouring Snake had also met with great danger. The Desert Giant behind it struck out with its fist, sending Sky-Devouring Snake flying and landing right in front of the carnivorous ants.

These carnivorous ants weren't about to play nice, either. They loved eating the corpses of humans and demonic beasts. Seeing Sky-Devouring Snake, they swarmed toward their prey with great enthusiasm.

Sky-Devouring Snake's expression changed. Opening its mouth, it spat out a beam of black light. This was its Snake Ancestor Super Power, an extremely powerful attack. It blasted dozens of the ants into oblivion straight away.

But there were far too many carnivorous ants. They numbered over ten thousand and completely surrounded him. Despite losing dozens of their ranks, thousands more charged forward.

Fear appeared on Sky-Devouring Snake's face. It opened its mouth to spit out more of the black light, which flew into the ants with great force, tearing the air as it went. Its corrosive qualities ate away at the ants' bodies, reducing them to dust.

But to use its Snake Ancestors Super Powers, the Sky-Devouring Snake had to exhaust a large amount of its vital essence. After using it twice, it was panted in fatigue.

This was mostly because it was severely wounded. As it was being chased by the Desert Giant, it had sustained many injuries. Now, having forcibly used its Snake Ancestor's Super Power twice, it could no longer withstand the exertion. It wobbled as it moved, nearly falling to the ground.

The Sky-Devouring Snake glanced at the Desert Giant behind it. ”Goddammit, ”it swore to itself. ”Why aren't these ants attacking the Giant? Why're they only attacking me?”

In reality, unbeknownst to the Sky-Devouring Snake, the carnivorous ants were friends with the Desert Giants. They were well acquainted with one another, having lived together in the Crimson Fire Desert for so long. The carnivorous ants didn't eat sand; the Desert Giants, likewise, didn't bother the carnivorous ants.
