Fang Yi launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky. He thrust his spear forward, so quickly it left dozens of afterimages in all directions. He clashed against the mutated bug once more, striking with his spear as the mutated bug defended with its fists. A howling gale surrounded them, and flashes of lightning blinded those in the vicinity.
"[Shadow and Light]!" Fang Yi morphed into countless clones, each of which thrust their spears at the mutated bug. The combined spear strikes, landing like a burst of rain, finally pierced through the bug's thick layer of genetic armor.
Fang Yi exploded into action. Wind revolved around his body, and lightning discharged into the air. "[Heaven's Judgment]!"
The combination of wind and lightning generated a frightening force that made his spear look like an electric saw.
The mutated bug held out two palms brimming with genetic energy, preparing to halt the spear's advance.
Fang Yi found the bug's actions ridiculous. Perhaps the mutated bug could have accomplished such a feat at full strength based on its offensive capabilities and supported by its unusual form of genetic energy, but certainly not when it was injured. The power of wind and storm tore apart its hands, and the chitinous exoskeleton that enclosed its shoulders and body cracked and split.
The mutated bug failed to stop Fang Yi's advance. Its body was sent hurling back with the momentum from Fang Yi's spear.
Given that it hadn't died even after its chest had been pierced cleanly through, Fang Yi wasn't certain if his attack was enough to kill it. When he walked closer, he found to his amazement that the mutated bug was still alive. Its shell had been completely cracked, its hands limp and paralyzed.
The huge corkscrewing hole in its chest was so large it was a miracle its body hadn't collapsed. Not only that, the bug was still alive, and it was even able to stand up on its own. However, it had lost all its combat ability.
Even so, although its life was about to be snuffed out, it refused to stop fighting. War was its life's purpose—Fang Yi understood that much.
After all, these mutated bugs had been produced in response to an elevated threat that could wipe out the entire bug invasion force. In some sense, it was a pitiful existence, but these bugs could hardly be pitied at all. They were an invasive species that devoured whatever planets and lifeforms they came across. If Fang Yi didn't stop the bug incursion now, his home, Earth, would be the next victim.
The mutated bug poured the remnants of its genetic energy into its palms. It was filled with some strange vitality, an amalgamation of the lifeforce of all manner of lifeforms. It was unable to restore others' vitality like Zhou Ying, but it demonstrated impressive self-regenerative ability.
Using its genetic energy, the mutated bug was shockingly able to restore its arms to a usable form. contemporary romance
There was no way the arms could be restored fully. The bug's hands and arms had been crippled by Fang Yi's genetic energy. Although these bugs didn't seem to have bones, their very cells had disintegrated. The bug had to continuously prevent the spread of this foreign genetic energy to prevent further destruction of its body, and it was shocking that it had restored its arms to the level that it did.
The next moment, Fang Yi was even more shocked. The punches that the mutated bug threw manifested the power of wind and storm—no, it reproduced the power of wind and storm with its strange brand of genetic energy.
Fang Yi's eyes widened. "To think this fellow can learn such techniques so easily..."
The bug wasn't so foolish as to think it would be able to survive Fang Yi's attack unharmed; it simply wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Fang Yi's attack!
The bug was trying to learn from Fang Yi in battle, even at the cost of its life.
The mutated bug possessed sufficient defensive ability to block even [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow], so there was no reason it couldn't have done the same to the weaker ability [Heaven's Judgment]. The reason it hadn't defended itself and chose instead to face the technique with its bare hands was to understand Fang Yi's skill on a corporeal level.
The first time its human opponent injured it, the mutated bug realized how strong it was. The human possessed strength that it didn't, something that it couldn't compensate for with physical ability alone.
To Fang Yi, the technique he had used was no more than one among many. The mutated bug, however, was shocked by what it had observed. Fang Yi hadn't seemed to move at all—time had frozen.
One moment, the bug sensed that Fang Yi was about to attack; the next moment, a spear had pierced through its chest.
Fang Yi's ridiculous speed had left a deep impression on the mutated bug, who understood that the hunter before it possessed arcane knowledge it was unaware of, something it couldn't hope to overcome by pure physical strength alone.
As a result, the mutated bug decided to take a risk in an attempt to acquire Fang Yi's power for itself.
Fang Yi's eyes glinted with killing intent.
The fact that these mutated bugs had somehow obtained an ersatz version of humanity's genetic energy, and was even able to learn from its foes, meant that it was an unbelievably threatening foe. Fang Yi had never felt so frightened by a race, not even the sura of the second realm, and he had never felt the need to eradicate all the bugs so keenly.
Physical strength alone could be countered, but if these bugs had both physical strength and incredible learning aptitude… Fang Yi shook his head. The bugs had to be eradicated at all costs, or they would bleed humanity dry and construct their own civilization atop the corpses of mankind.
"[Heaven's Judgment]! [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"
Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi's spear, and a dragon's howl echoed resoundingly in the air.
Fang Yi leveled his spear. Wind and lightning surged forth.
The bug's replicated technique was only a replica, and an inferior one based on incomplete understanding at that. Fang Yi would be able to defeat it easily.
The bug's [Heaven's Judgment] was fully enveloped and consumed by Fang Yi's version of the attack. It corkscrewed toward the bug's chest, where it exploded and split the bug's body into multiple fragments, each crackling with lightning.
On another part of the battlefield, Sun Xiaowu and Li Feng were facing an onslaught of bugs. A mutated bug punched at Sun Xiaowu. When the punches landed, a sound like tolling bells rang out from Sun Xiaowu's body, and a layer of golden runes appeared on the surface of his skin.
"[Adamantine Aegis]!" The golden runes glowed, shining brightly like brands.
"[Goldenscale Palm]!" Sun Xiaowu's arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin. An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu's body.
Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward, leaving a cavity in the bug's chest and sending it flying into the distance...
