294: Zhang Ant, you have angered me!

"Mystic Ethereal!"

Just as the two fists were about to collide, Li Wuji's figure became illusory, and the Lava Giant's fierce punch went straight through.

"What!"

The Lava Giant was startled, having never expected such a situation.

After dodging the punch, Li Wuji's momentum did not decrease, and his fist, without any pause, slammed into the Lava Giant's chest.

The Lava Giant's expression changed. He also felt the extraordinary power of this punch, but the distance between them was too close, and due to inertia, he couldn't dodge it at all.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Li Wuji's punch landed squarely on the Lava Giant's chest.

Under this strike, the Lava Giant's body actually showed visible cracks, and scorching lava spewed out from those fissures, like a broken volcano, releasing astonishing heat and light.

The Lava Giant let out a deafening roar, and the entire space seemed to tremble in this roar, but his body involuntarily staggered backward, each step cracking the space.

Li Wuji landed steadily, dark golden flames swirling around him, appearing both mysterious and powerful.

His eyes were cold, as if the previous strike was just a warm-up, and the real battle had just begun.

"You are wrong. Even ants have a time to rise. And I have never been a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

The Lava Giant's eyes widened in anger, and the lava all over his body boiled even more fiercely, seemingly accumulating strength for a more violent attack.

"You dare to injure this King! This King will make you pay the price!"

Before he finished speaking, his body expanded again, and a wave of heat even more terrifying than before swept over, as if to turn everything around him into ashes.

Facing this overwhelming pressure, Li Wuji did not retreat, but strangely closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils flickered with strange light, as if a subtle connection had formed with this world.

"It's time to show my true strength."

Li Wuji whispered, and then his body was once again enveloped by a layer of even more dazzling golden light. This light contained an ancient and powerful aura, as if it could penetrate time and space, reaching the very essence.

The Lava Giant roared and charged forward, his massive fist wrapped in endless lava, like a falling meteor, vowing to completely bury Li Wuji.

However, at this moment of life and death, Li Wuji's figure became illusory again. This time, he was no longer simply dodging, but seemed to have merged into this space, becoming an omnipresent existence.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by a soft shout, Li Wuji appeared behind the Lava Giant, forming hand seals. An indescribable power surged from his palms, transforming into a brilliant beam of light that struck directly at the Lava Giant's core.

"Boom!"

The beam of light collided with the Lava Giant's body, erupting in dazzling light. The entire space seemed to be torn apart, and the massive energy fluctuations caused everything around to tremble, even causing spatial distortion.

When the light gradually dissipated, the Lava Giant still stood proudly in the world, but his back was indeed visibly dented, and it could not recover for a long time.

Li Wuji stood in place, still catching his breath, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, though now his brows were tightly furrowed.

This was because he found that apart from a slight weakening of his aura, the Lava Giant showed no other changes, and a strong sense of crisis gradually enveloped him.

"Ant, where are you looking?"

Along with this sentence full of disdain and contempt, suddenly, a chilling coldness that made one's hair stand on end came from behind Li Wuji.

He turned around abruptly, but it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, the originally calm space around him seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, instantly solidifying into an indestructible cage that trapped him firmly within it.

Before he could recover from the shock, he felt a scorching heat behind his head that almost melted him.

A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he saw a huge and hideous fist wrapped in raging flames, like a burning meteor, hurtling towards him.

That Lava Giant had actually appeared behind him silently like a ghost, its speed so fast it was beyond imagination, to the extent that even with Li Wuji's keen perception, he hadn't detected it at all.

At this moment, a thought actually arose in his mind—he had to dodge, otherwise he would die!

However, facing this sudden fatal attack, it was already too late to dodge.

In the nick of time, Li Wuji couldn't care about anything else and instinctively mobilized all his strength, preparing to fight back.

"Boom!"

With a deafening boom, the Lava Giant's incredibly powerful punch heavily struck Li Wuji.

In an instant, the ground trembled violently, and countless spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread out, while the surrounding dust was swept up into the sky by the violent air currents.

"This is all your power, it's really not bad, but now I'll return it all to you!"

The Lava Giant let out a low, hoarse roar of laughter, then mercilessly continued to swing its enormous fist, pounding the ground again and again.

Each punch that landed would cause an earth-shattering roar, and the entire ground trembled continuously with it, as if it would crack and collapse at any moment.

"Hey, can't you see the situation clearly before you make a move?"

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from above.

Upon hearing this voice, the Lava Giant's body stiffened abruptly, and he instinctively wanted to raise his head to see who was speaking.

However, just as he made a move, a blurry shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, moving so fast that he had no time to react.

The next moment, a strong, intense pain instantly spread across his entire face.

This pain was so severe that before he could make any resistance or defensive moves, his entire body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, as if struck by a cannonball.

His body arced through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground, the powerful impact causing the ground to tremble.

And as he slid, he carved a deep and long mark on the hard ground, as if the earth had been torn apart.

Li Wuji let out a deep breath, staring calmly in the direction of the Lava Giant. That previous moment had been quite dangerous.

If he hadn't decisively used his Domain in the nick of time, forcibly making himself ethereal and breaking through the void to dodge, perhaps this Clone of his would have already been destroyed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but inwardly Rejoice that he had reacted quickly.

At the same time, after this brief exchange, Li Wuji had a new understanding of this Lava Giant before him.

He discovered that this Lava Giant actually possessed a peculiar ability to store the damage it received and release it to counterattack at an opportune moment. This ability was truly troublesome.

"Ant, you have truly angered this King!"
