Chapter 192 - Battle of Speed

Under Chenxiang 8 rings appeared, 1 purple, 6 blacks, and 1 red. Under Tang San 8 rings appeared, 6 blacks, and 2 reds. Under Xiao another 8 rings appeared, 2 yellow, 2 purple, 3 blacks, and 1 red. Showing that all three were spirit douluos at the age of 23 years.

Looking at the ants, even if they were similar, they had subtle differences. One had slightly bigger wings, another had longer arms, and the last had a bit bigger body and his carcass seemed thicker.

The ants quickly recovered from their paralysis "CRRRRRRRRR" they shouted angrily that they had let scape one towards their empress. They extended their wings and leaned forward putting on their weight on their feet, cracks appeared under them.

"Booom!" The ants kicked the ground causing it to collapse. With the strength of an explosion, they shot towards the human.

From Tang San a blue light surged forth <Blue-Silver Emperor Domain>. Tang San's fourth, sixth, and seventh ring shined, strong blue silver grass surged from the ground, it curled around the ants, caging them. Chenxiang flapped her wings, from them a warm light extended all over the cave <Light Domain>. The grass receiving the light acquired a golden color, becoming stronger.

Tang San's group quickly discovered the uselessly of their actions. The ants didn't even need to stop, a black aura shot from them, instantly weakening the grass, then a simple swing from their claws was enough to shred them in pieces. Leaving at the human group shocked about them, this was the Blue-Silver Emperor boosted by skills and even two domains. Not only that, but they quickly realized the frightening about the ants' aura.

Comparing with the previous ants, these three were in a completely different league. Their aura quickly devoured any kind of energy around them without mattering the strength or comprehension behind, unlike the other ants that couldn't cope with stronger attacks. Their owns domains were quickly being absorbed by them. Tang San's group quickly realized that long-ranged attacks would be ineffective as they would be mostly devoured before damaging them. Also, the strength of the ants it was enough to make any trick useless. It was an absolute strength that crushed all in front of them.

Chenxiang's 2nd ring shined, her body flashed appearing 10 meters away. The bigger wings ants punching the place were she stood before. The strength was so high that the ground cracked under him, creating a crater over 20 meters. Chenxiang found herself affected by throwing rocks of the aftermath, even evading the bigger ones, she was hit by little ones that were incredibly hard.

Tang San positioned his trident, guarding himself. The thicker ant thrust its claws towards him. San lifted his trident, stopping the ant's hand, letting the claws only an inch of distance from his eyes. Even though he blocked the attack, dispersing most of the strength over his trident, he was pushed more than 50 meters away from the sheer force.

The long-arms ant thrust its claws towards Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu's third ring shined, teleported away from it. The long-arms ant's antennas twitched, its claws closed forming a punch and punched the air at its left side. A powerful air blast was formed by its strength alone. Xiao Wu found herself appearing just in the air blast trajectory. The ant had completely read her! Xiao Wu's 4th rings shined, around her body a golden light appeared, <Golden Paragon Body> obtaining invulnerability for 3 seconds, the air blast dispersing as it made contact with her. The ant appeared in front of her and punched her. Thanks to her skill, she didn't receive damage from it, but she was pushed more than 100 meters to a side

"Crrrrrrr!" the ants started laughing. Without being able to avoid, the human trio fell under the ants' rhythm, they were separated from each other, forcing them to fight each a 1 vs 1 with an ant, limiting their teamwork. Now that they were in 1 vs 1, the tremendous stats of the ants would be difficult to face.

Chenxiang's 7th ring shined, her bird spirit shined brightly at her back and closed its wings covering her. It hugged Chenxiang, becoming an armor surrounding her, translucent feathers covering her body, her wings grew and all her body started shining with rainbow light.

Chenxiang's body flashed and she flew away from the ant, trying to create a distance with the ant. The big-winged ant flapped its wings closely charging towards her, its speed even greater than Chenxiang.

Multiple Chenxiang's clones appeared surrounding her. These wouldn't be able to trick the ant's instinct, instead, Chenxiang used them clashing with them. She clashed with one and found herself reflected, abruptly changing direction and even her speed increased a little, the ant claw grazing her. She might be slower than the ant, but she had greater maneuverability.

"CRRRRRRRRRRRR!" The big-winged ant shouted as its body shivered. Its wings opened and separated, revealing that its wings weren't bigger than the other, instead, it was that it had 2 more wings than the other two.

The ant flapped its 4 wings "Booom!" a shock wave was produced as its body flashed, effectively passing through Chenxiang's attack. It flapped again, chasing for her, this time its speed much greater, afterimages were created at its path.

Chenxiang was forced to continuously reflect with her clones to escape from it. Nevertheless, the 4-winged ant probed its extreme instinct, quickly getting used to Chenxiang and approaching her closer every time. If this continues, it wouldn't pass much time before it caught her. Chenxiang decided to put all her strength to create one opportunity with her strongest attack.

Chenxiang continued reflecting, her glow becoming stronger. Without stopping, more clones appeared around her that charged towards the ant, most of them were simple images while others were charged with spirit energy.

The ant's wings' speed reached a new level, completely disappearing. Its body efficiently evaded the clones.

Chenxiang snapped her fingers as light rays were shot from her body towards the copies. "BOOOM!" all the copies, without mattering the spirit energy in them exploded. The explosions engulfed the ant.

"CRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" strong winds were created dispersing the smoke from the explosion. The 4-winged ant was completely intact, its carcass untouched. Nevertheless, that attack had pissed it. It madly charged towards Chenxiang, this time it didn't try to evade the copies, letting them exploding at it.

The ant's body shivered as its wings were flapped madly, the air around them distorted by the air pressure and black aura, completely blocking any form of teleport in it. The ant leaned its body thrusting its arms forward as it started spinning over itself. The ant's speed reached a new level, as it drilled across the air towards Chenxiang.

Chenxiang smirked, a copy appearing in front of her, hitting it and rebounding 180º, shooting towards the ant. She was the heiress of the Speed Clan, even when she tried to go against its usual form, reaching attack power instead of pure speed, she never forgot them. She still pursued the ultimate speed, having surpassed even her grandfather long ago. Her 8th skill reflecting it.

Chenxiang's 8th ring shined brightly "<8th skill: God Speed>!" The time around Chenxiang seemed to slow down, the incredible fast ant seeming to go at low speed. She flapped her wings evading the drill-like ant, glazing it, her real speed was so great that not even the distorted space could affect her.

The time seemed to return to normal and the ant shot forward 500 meters failing to hit her. This was what she was aiming, making the ant mad and that it reached his top speed to finally evade the attack. All of this, to gain a little time as the ant would need some time to change direction when going at full speed.

She focused all her strength, all her rings shining brightly, focusing all on her rapier that started blindly shining. 4 clones appeared around her, up, down, left, and right, and 1 clone in front. Chenxiang stabbed forward, shooting a light ray towards the front clone. Hitting the clone, the light ray increased its frequency turning violet. It was reflected in 4 different rays each one of them hitting one of the other 4 clones.

The rays clashed with the other clones, their energy increasing even more, their violet color becoming more radiant. Each ray was reflected shooting towards Chenxiang's rapier that absorbed all of them, the light completely disappearing as Chenxiang's body turned light hitting the clone in front of her.

"CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" the ant shouted angrily having been evaded. Thousand Catties Ants Emperors, like normal Fifteen Ton Ants, excelled in strength, defense, and power. The 4-winged ant specialized in speed while its brothers in the other two. He was very confident in its speed, mostly playing with the slower girl in front of it as there was never any need to evade her weak attacks. However, the girl surpassed its full speed. How a lowly human dare to surpass its speed? The 4-winged ant hit a wall quickly changing its direction, instantly shooting at full speed towards Chenxiang with bloodshot eyes that shined with a very bright purple light.

Chenxiang's body rebounded in the last clone and her body seemed to disappear. She didn't disappear as the ant could completely detect her coming towards it. It was that the frequency and energy of her light went completely our of the visual specter, normal eyes being unable to detect her light reaching the state of X-Rays.

Chenxiang's energy reached her maximum, this wasn't only spirit energy anymore, this was the full power that she could exert of the light element, it was the might of nature, a state that only gods could grasp.

The 4-winged ant's antennas twitched and its face contorted, its instincts telling it to run away. It was the first time since its evolution that it sensed fright.

Chenxiang's focused all her strength at her rapier and charged forward. Her strongest technique, only capable of using with her rapier, needing to reach a speed and a state of energy normally impossible for her at spirit douluo rank. But with all her strength and preparing, she reached the minimum required to it.

"<Light God 1th Rapier: Unseen Stab>!" Chenxiang's body disappeared, no. It was simply that she surpassed the light speed, being impossible to even sense her, the neural nerves of even the ant not having the time to process her. Chenxiang appeared crashing to a wall, even she couldn't control her speed and was injured being unable to stop before crashing. However, she had already protected herself for it and her injures weren't so grave.

Even in the last moment, the 4-winged ant showed its monstrous instinct and speed reaction, twisting its body to the left. Nevertheless, Chenxiang's attack had been too quick, becoming impossible to evade. So much that even the ant's body was late to react to it. 1 second passed before the ant's right side was Chenxiang had stabbed through completely disintegrated, only leaving half head, 1 arm, and half thorax.

The purple glow left from its eyes and the lifeless scraps fell down to the ground.

"Buffff!" Chenxiang was exhausted, but she quickly turned her head seeing how the other two battle went, preparing to help them.
