Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 262: Chapter 260: The Onset of Killing Intent

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted in the area where Lin You was.

The assassins had just concealed themselves when countless Wooden Thorns abruptly surged out, spreading out from the center of where they had disappeared.

In an instant, it covered an area spanning dozens of meters!

But that wasn’t the end of it.

After the vast expanse of Wooden Thorns appeared, the entire ground, along with the thorns, suddenly rose and closed together.

With a rumbling explosion, it formed a circular ball composed of barbs, trapping the assassins who hadn’t managed to escape inside.

“Attack.”

Lin You’s indifferent voice echoed.

The ball of barbs in the sky suddenly contracted, bursting into a mist of blood.

The assassins who had been arrogant just moments ago were instantly killed!

“!!!”

Zhang Heng’s pupils suddenly constricted, witnessing this massive spectacle.

Were his rare Tier Eight species, which he was so proud of, all dealt with like this?

Just what kind of person was this guy?!

Shock and horror filled Zhang Heng’s entire heart.

He couldn’t understand.

His fully equipped Tier Eight rare species, with attribute enhancements, were easily wiped out by the opponent without him even comprehending why.

Was that Flower Spirit actually a Tier Nine species?

But the thing is, aren’t Flower Spirits supposed to be healing species?

How could a healing species possess such powerful offensive capabilities?

And with such a wide range, his species didn’t even have a chance to escape!

Yet he had no time to think about it further.

In the next second.

He suddenly felt a deathly aura enveloping his entire body, causing his hair to stand on end instantly.

“Bang!”

A dull thud echoed.

A flame-red streak darted across the grassland, swiftly rushing toward him.

The intense oppressive feeling made Zhang Heng absolutely sure.

If this hit him, he was bound to die on the spot!

“Defensive formation!”

He dared not hesitate any longer and hastily shouted to the Armor Escape Guards beside him.

Instantly, a light appeared.

All the Armor Escape Guards in front of him raised their shields, consolidating into a semi-transparent protective barrier connecting heaven and earth.

“Boom!!”

A deafening explosion echoed across the grassland.

Even the air around shook violently.

Before Zhang Heng could react, the semi-transparent barrier before him shattered with a “crack” into countless pieces.

Then that streak of light, undiminished in momentum, penetrated through several Armor Escape Guards, directly hitting his waist, exploding into a mist of blood.

“Young Master Zhang!”

The faces of several underlings beside him changed drastically, rushing over to support Zhang Heng.

Looking at his waist again, there was already a bloody hole, bleeding profusely!

At this moment, Zhang Heng’s heart was filled with utmost terror.

The power of that previous strike definitely exceeded the Tier Eight scope.

Even most of Tier Nine couldn’t reach such a degree.

What kind of monster did he encounter this time?

Its strength was utterly terrifying!

If not for his Armor Escape Guards blocking in front, he would’ve been beheaded long ago, killed with a single blow.

But even so, the residual force of that strike still broke through his equipment’s defenses, causing severe damage to him.

“Retreat!”

Daring not to think further, he cast a fearful glance at the distant Lin You, then immediately led his several underlings onto the Flying Species, retreating swiftly.

With no intention of stopping at all.

Lin You wanted to give chase, but unfortunately, the Soul-Devouring Ants ahead were too many, making it temporarily impossible for him to extricate himself, leaving him no choice but to give up.

However, it was precisely because of his previous strike.

It directly intimidated the other lords on the grassland, leaving each one of them deeply shocked.

“Did I see that right? Has Zhang Heng… lost?”

“What was that light just now? It didn’t even stop Zhang Heng’s Tier Eight Armor Escape Guards?”

“Those are amongst the top-ranked in defense within the Humanoid Type species!”

“So strong!”

It can be said that Lin You’s displayed strength just now truly frightened them.

Upon regaining their senses, they also distanced themselves from Lin You’s location, some filled with fear, retreated outright.

However, Lin You did not continue to hunt other lords.

Because at the moment, there were quite a few lords present.

If he acted recklessly, he could kill a few, but if he provoked public anger and they all attacked, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t withstand an assault from so many Tier Seven Lords.

Ultimately, losing the Lord Demon reward would be a futile effort.

So after thinking it over, he focused on clearing out the Soul-Devouring Ants, slowly approaching the Soul-Devouring Ant King.

…

On the other side.

After escaping the grassland, Zhang Heng quickly led his species and several underlings back to the Wuyang Realm’s realm portal.

As soon as he landed, he immediately attracted the attention of other lords.

Each one looked over at him.

“Strange, isn’t that Zhang Heng? How did he get injured?”

“Judging by this, it looks pretty serious.”

“I remember his species are all strong in defense. It’s not easy to injure him at the same level.”

“Did he encounter a Tier Eight Lord, or a Lord Demon?”

The news of Zhang Heng’s severe injury spread like a hurricane, quickly throughout the entire Wuyang Realm entrance, causing countless lords to discuss fervently.

After all, being able to rank within the top hundred among peers on the continent, his strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

But even so, Zhang Heng still suffered such severe injuries, which is unimaginable.

Then not long after.

The news that Zhang Heng was severely injured by a Plant Type Tier Seven Lord suddenly spread, causing a great uproar among the Tier Seven Lords in Wuyang Realm.

“Is this news true? He was seriously injured by a Tier Seven Lord?”

“Impossible, right? Even though Zhang Heng’s species are not the best in attack, in terms of defense alone, probably not even the top fifty powerhouses could break through.”

“It’s absolutely true! There were quite a few people from our realm present at the time, who saw it with their own eyes!”

“This… could Zhang Heng have encountered one of the top-ranked lords from other realms?”

“I’ve heard of some impressive Plant Types, but I’ve never heard of something this abnormal.”

“And isn’t Plant Type supposed to be good at healing and endurance battles? When did they become so explosive?”

Exclamations kept sounding at the entrance, those lords who were about to set off to seize treasures stopped to gather information.

Just like the Primordial Evil Realm and True Spirit Realm.

The Wuyang Realm’s location is not too far from the Primordial Realm, so it’s easy to encounter lords from the other side.

They couldn’t help but speculate about which realm the opponent was from nearby.

“So, what do you think?”

Near the entrance, three imposing figures stood there, each with different expressions.

Unlike other Tier Seven Lords.

Though they were Tier Seven, they weren’t frightened by the news but rather were interested, even indifferent.

“Although Zhang Heng isn’t much, he still has the strength. If he can be severely injured like this, keeping him alive will surely be a threat in the future, which isn’t good for us.”

One gentleman, warm as jade, waved a folding fan in his hand and said calmly.

“I agree with that.” Another cold-faced youth had a stern demeanor.

“It seems we are of the same mind this time.”

The remaining woman, clad in tight black clothes and seductively alluring, licked her red lips and revealed an eerie smile.

The other two couldn’t help but have a flicker of wariness in their eyes at her expression.

This woman.

Is the terrifying entity known as the Enchanting Demoness, the number one Demon Type in Tier Seven of Wuyang Realm, with a mesmerizing ability that even the top-ranked lords must respect.

And her species mainly consists of spirit-charming demons, killing without a trace.

…

Far away on the grasslands, Lin You was unaware.

He had already caught the eyes of geniuses from other realms.

At this moment, he was still clearing out the continuously emerging Soul-Devouring Ants.

After nearly twenty minutes of effort, everyone finally pushed the Soul-Devouring Ant Swarm back to the side of the Soul-Devouring Ant King, preventing the ant swarm from spreading again.

“Great opportunity! Quickly attack the Ant King!”

“Go! Take down the Ant King!”

“Quickly destroy its ant nest!”

The lords shouted excitedly, giving commands to their respective species.

In an instant, countless species surged like a tide, encircling the Soul-Devouring Ant King, and attacks flew everywhere, bombarding from all sides.

Lin You wasn’t slow, also ordering the Plant Army to launch an attack.

The Ancient War Tree, which had acquired a new Secret Treasure, led the charge, with other long-range species providing support from the rear.

In an instant, vines, Wooden Thorns, and Explosive Mushrooms all rushed toward the Soul-Devouring Ant King’s waist and abdomen, causing a series of violent explosions.

Beside the Ancient War Tree, there was also a large patch of newly revived Immortal Flowers, biting wildly.

The Soul-Devouring Ant King was howling incessantly, a large number of Soul-Devouring Ants poured out from its abdomen, while it opened its massive pincers to clamp onto the species in front of it, crushing them on the spot.

But the lords’ species were just too numerous.

Plus, the birth of new Soul-Devouring Ants was suppressed.

When one batch of species died, another would immediately fill the gap, coming in a constant stream, killing endlessly.

With little attacking ability itself, the Soul-Devouring Ant King could only take blows passively, and soon it was covered in wounds and countless cracks appeared on its body.

“Bang!”

At this time, a loud explosion hit.

The cannon beside Lin You finally fired, sending a bullet surrounded by Dragon Flame straight at the Soul-Devouring Ant King’s head!

However, to Lin You’s surprise.

The Soul-Devouring Ant King seemed to feel the threat of this blow, and quickly turned its head towards him, letting out an earth-shattering roar that twisted the entire surrounding space.

Even the nearby species, as if their spirits were drained, stood frozen in place.

In the end, the Pea Bullet deviated, exploding on one of the Soul-Devouring Ant King’s forelegs.

The Soul-Devouring Ant King let out a miserable scream, its foreleg instantly snapped in two, yet it successfully dodged Lin You’s fatal attack.

Immediately after, it suddenly opened its mouth, biting and swallowing those newly born Soul-Devouring Ants.

And its injuries, too, started recovering at a visible speed, back to full health in no time.

Clearly, it was its third skill, Cannibalism!

“Damn! It fully recovered, how can it have such an abnormal skill!?”

“Everyone destroy its abdomen quickly!”

“Don’t let it spawn again!”

The lords hadn’t expected that the Soul-Devouring Ant King would feed on its offspring to heal itself, and with such a powerful effect.

They didn’t dare to hesitate any longer, and shifted their fire, launching a fierce attack on the Soul-Devouring Ant King’s abdomen!
