Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 911: The Power of Teamwork

The mutated bugs met the hunters' attacks with their fists. They threw out a flurry of punches, each with so much momentum they seemed like bullets.

"[Birth of the Holy Dragon]!"

Li Feng leapt high into the air and landed on the dragon's head, his sword gleaming brightly as though it had been dipped in liquid light. As he raised the sword to the skies, it glowed and expanded, morphing into a huge blade of light.

A blinding white glow illuminated the entire battlefield. The ground, stained with fresh blood, was completely hidden from sight.

A white dragon emerged from around Li Feng. The mutated bug defended with both hands as Li Feng leapt high into the air and sliced down with a swing of his sword.

The mutated-grade bug gave up on defense and turned to dodge—sacrificing an arm in the process.

Li Feng's huge blade sliced down and chopped off one of the mutated bug's arm.

The mutated bug had tried to dodge, but the sword of light fell too quickly for even that. With its other arm, the mutated bug punched forward, its fist glowing with ink-green genetic energy. It was trying to duplicate Li Feng's technique, but to do so in front of a master like Li Feng was pure hubris.

"[Birth of the Holy Dragon: the Stars Descend]!" Light gathered by Li Feng's blade. As he struck, dozens of dragons fell from the skies like meteors, each giving off starry light.

Each dragon looked like part of a galaxy, their hides patterned with the starry sky. Their void-like swipes drained the mutated bug's attack of its momentum even as the bug continued punching forward with its genetic energy, destroying dragon after dragon with its punches. The dragons exploded in a burst of starlight, scalding the mutated bugs and causing their dark yellow ichor to splash on the ground.

A group of starlight dragons surged toward the mutated bug, which was torn apart by their combined assault.

More mutated bugs, watching the battles unfold from the bug nest, had realized a significant problem with their assault. Why was it that the humanoid bugs were being steamrolled by the hunters of the Zenith Dojo?

One issue was the existence of a small group of elite forces. The humanoid bugs didn't have any units like the members of Team Zenith, but this was only a small part of the issue.

Not only had the mutated bugs identified the main problem, they had even come up with a solution: they had to kill Zhou Ying, who was single-handedly supporting the entire battlefield.

The humanoid bugs didn't have a healer like Zhou Ying. They relied on their innate ridiculous vitality and constitution, as well as their own regenerative ability. This would have been superior to what the human hunters possessed—if not for the variable called Zhou Ying. The humanoid bugs' physical abilities didn't allow them to dominate as they had planned.

Zhou Ying's healing meant that any wounds they dealt would quickly recover. The hunters who were supported by Zhou Ying had an effective constitution no weaker than that of the bugs themselves.

Some of the mutated bugs tried to attack Zhou Ying, but she was hardly a weak combatant in her own right.

Huge vines wrapped around Zhou Ying, vines that resembled dragons of wood. They curled around the humanoid bugs who tried to launch attacks at her, but the humanoid bugs were so strong that they were able to rip up those vines with their bare hands.

Zhou Ying frowned. In order to deal with these bugs, she would have to temporarily stop supporting the disciples of the Zenith Dojo.

The bugs had incredible regenerative abilities, but the disciples of the Zenith Dojo did not. Her healing could lapse for a moment or two, but if this became a prolonged fight, the disciples of the Zenith Dojo would start to die.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!" Zhou Ying released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth.

Thousands of vines emerged from the earth, surrounding the humanoid bugs in layer after layer of plant matter.

Before Zhou Ying could relax, however, the vines tore apart from the inside, and the humanoid bugs emerged from their midst.

Wood dragons flew into the air, but the humanoid bugs' wings whirred as they deftly avoided the attacks and shot toward Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying snorted. "Do you really think I'm so helpless?" Her entire body began to glow with jade-green vitality. A surge of genetic energy filled the battlefield. "If a hundred vines aren't enough, if a thousand vines aren't enough, how about ten thousand?!"

The calm genetic energy surrounding Zhou Ying suddenly turned agitated. It spread all over the battlefield, which began to tremble and shake, as though resonating with Zhou Ying's anger.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Worldbound Enclosure]!"

Tens of thousands of wood dragons emerged from the ground, covering up the entire battlefield—but not only had their quantity increased, so had their quality.

These wood dragons were an order of magnitude more sturdy than the last, and their bark-like skin even shone like lustrous metal.

The emergence of these ten thousand dragons covered up at least a third of the battlefield. None of the humanoid bugs were able to avoid the attack; the wood dragons trapped them all.

So numerous were the layers of dragons surrounding each humanoid bug that even they couldn't break free in one fell swoop. They were trapped and slowly digested by the dragons until they turned into wooden sculptures.

In a matter of moments, Zhou Ying was surrounded by a verdant forest formed of wood dragons, and the humanoid bugs enclosed within them. Leaves began to grow out of the wood dragons' flesh.

The humanoid bugs targeted not only the members of Team Zenith, but also Hong Xi's four-hunter group that was coordinating the attack.

For the humanoid bugs to turn the tides, they would have to both deal with the humans' elite forces as well as the commanders of the battle.

It would take quite some effort to kill the members of Team Zenith, but Hong Xi and the others seemed like much easier targets.

Hong Xiao was sent flying with a single punch. In rage, Hong Xi tried to retaliate, but her telegraphed attack was easily blocked. If not for Jun Jiuxiao and Ye Xianchen, who had rushed over, Hong Xi would have sustained a serious injury—or even died on the spot.

With a feathered fan in her left hand and a longsword in her right, with white moonlight by her feet and black sunlight by her back, Hong Xi manifested [Syzygy].

Wind howled. The sword in her right hand gleamed like the radiant moon. As she waved her fan, she summoned a twister in the air. Her sword traced a brilliant arc, launching crescent blades at her foes.
