Chapter 175 - Termite Battle 2 (1/2)

”Dae-Won!” ”Hide!” ”Xinya” ”William!”

”””” Our strength and our life are at the service of the one to whom we have sworn eternal loyalty! Battle Formation! Transfer of Power! ””””

With the four guards of Long Tian shouting this, there was a great glow of light that illuminated the surroundings. The spirit power of the four men was released, but unexpectedly, instead of condensing on their bodies, it was flowing back into Long Tian. Soon, the spirit power in the body of the Imperial Prince increased at an incredible rate for a third stage spirit soldier.

”Lian! Ye! Xing! Let's go!” Hei said to Lian and his little sisters. Although their battle formation was different, their amplifying effect was far from being inferior.

''”Yes!”''

Ye and Xing climbed onto their big brother's shoulders, keeping their petite form, while Lian positioned herself behind Hei. One of her silk ribbons tied to the waist of the young beast tamer, connecting her to the trio of siblings. Their spirit power underwent a surge comparable to that of Long Tian.

Vroom!

From a distance, the sound of drums and other musical instruments was heard. It was the Battle Concert created by martial artist musicians. Once again, the spirit power of Long Tian and Hei underwent a further increase, which led them to reach a power that was currently unattainable on their own.

'What?' The termite king was utterly taken aback because the pressure released by the two humans was comparable to its. It couldn't believe its eyes. Just a moment ago, those humans were like leaves that it could sweep away with a simple movement of its legs. Now, however, they were more like a sturdy tree that would require all its power to be cut down.

Woosh! Clang!

The seven termite guards moved as if they were united by one mind. In an instant, they charged against Hei and Long Tian. They immediately recognized the potential danger to their king, and they didn't take even a second to move and eliminate the threat. After all, the instinct dictated by their species forced them to protect the king and queen at all costs.

Unfortunately for them, Long Tian had already foreseen such a possibility. The five lords of the forest, together with the other spirit soldiers gathered there, engaged the guards, thus leaving the king termite alone.

'Foolish humans! Do you think that just because you increased your spirit power and separated me from my guards, do you have a chance against me?! Alright. I will show you my true power and the despair that awaits you!'

Without delay, the termite king released its spirit power. Its body was smaller than the termite queen, and it didn't have jaws as large and threatening as its guards. However, there was no doubt that it represented the most significant danger there.

”Go back and recover your spirit power. Then help the others clean up the area.” Long Tian turned to his four guards, who were slightly pale in the face. The battle formation they had used had almost dried up all their spirit power. Staying a second longer on such a battlefield was deadly dangerous for them.

”It will be made, boss.”

When Dae-Won led the other three toward the rear, Long Tian sighed. ”I don't like using this move at all because it exposes them to great danger. As the boss, I should be the one protecting them and not vice versa. Either way, this isn't the time to mull over it. We have a disinfestation to do, don't you think Hei?”

”Yes. Let's finish it once and for all.” Hei replied that his eyes were glued to the enemy.

After saying that, it was finally about to start the fight. Hei and Long Tian charged against the termite king, who, in turn, ran at full speed against them.

Peng! Crash!

The spirit power of Hei and Long Tian crashed against the termite king's spirit power. Even though they were in numerical superiority, the combined attack of the two didn't hurt the termite king. However, they managed to stop the charge and remain unharmed.

”Lian, tie the other ribbon around Long Tian's waist. Long Tian, ​​even if we aren't united by a battle formation, follow our rhythm. You will need Lian's ribbon to keep up and help you evade.”

”Okay. Go ahead.” Long Tian agreed to that proposition. He had seen the young blue-haired woman's fighting prowess. If Hei himself were confident of letting Lian lead his body, Long Tian would do the same because he trusted in the strength of the two youths from the Forgotten Ocean.

So Lian connected her second ribbon to Long Tian. Now, she was left without defenses, but since her job was purely supportive, she wasn't in imminent danger. The only thing she should pay attention to was a surprise attack from behind. But fortunately, all the enemies in the area had already been engaged by their other comrades, canceling that concern.

”Nightmare Spider Bloodline, Activate! Intent of the Spear, Poison Law, Poisonous Spider Thrust!”

”Yellow Dragon Bloodline, Activate! Earth Law, Overwhelming Pressure!”

”Love Lotus Bloodline, Activate! Wood Law, Binding Roots!”

In an instant, an invisible pressure crashed from above against the termite king. The third-level spirit beast felt its body grow heavier while the roots of trees and flowers tied its body to the ground with incredible strength.

'Miserable tricks! DON'T THINK YOU CAN STOP ME!'

The termite king let out even more spirit power, and its body started moving again. However, Long Tian and Lian had gained enough time to allow Hei's attack to land.

Stab!
