667: Chapter 10: A brief confrontation, revealing the true strengths
The terrifying high-temperature flames descended with extreme speed, and some of the Black Nether Armor Locusts in the very front were instantly burned to ash, scattering with the wind.
Casualties spread rapidly, and in an instant, swarms of insects were annihilated one after another.
In the distance, Ning Qiancheng and the others' pupils constricted as they watched this scene; even they were very wary of such an attack.
"As expected, there is a reason why Great Eagle Country has stood for a hundred years. Only a true existential crisis can reveal their trump cards."
Xu Qian's voice remained calm, with no particular emotion detectable.
"Then when shall we make our move?"
Hanba asked, "Andre's move can likely only be resisted by experts above the Half-Emperor Realm, and most importantly, these insect swarms have all been burned to ash, so they are useless to us now."
Ning Qiancheng's eyes were locked firmly on the center of the dense swarm, as if drawn by a magnet, as if something important was waiting there for him to discover.
"The swarms on the periphery are merely inconsequential cannon fodder; no matter how many casualties they suffer, it won't cause any substantial damage to their foundation."
"After all, that Insect Emperor has not yet…"
Ning Qiancheng's words were suddenly interrupted; his voice stopped abruptly, as if it had been stuck by something.
"It has come out!"
Hearing Ning Qiancheng's shout, the others immediately turned their gazes toward the battlefield. Their heartbeats accelerated instantly, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.
"It's here!"
Constantine's voice rang out almost simultaneously with Ning Qiancheng's, revealing a hint of gravity.
"Everyone, prepare for battle! The real danger is about to make its move!"
Constantine's order exploded among the crowd like a thunderclap, and everyone's nerves instantly tightened, as they gripped their weapons and braced for battle.
The moment Constantine's voice fell, the Inferno Prison seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and it began to twist violently.
The surface of the prison emitted "crack, crack" sounds, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the Inferno Prison shattered instantly amidst a burst of dazzling flames, turning into countless sparks that dissipated in the air like fireworks.
At the same time, two silver figures shot into the sky from the Black Nether Armor Locust swarm like lightning; their speed was as fast as lightning, and they wove freely between the falling giant fireballs.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by deafening roars, the giant fireballs exploded one after another, unleashing a violent flame storm.
The flames, like a ferocious beast, instantly swallowed the area where the Black Nether Armor Locusts were, submerging everything in the raging fire.
This was Andre, seeing the situation was bad, detonating those fireballs directly, striving to maximize their power.
"Watch out!"
But a moment later, Andre's voice suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated, condensing layer upon layer of Magic Arrays in front of him.
Only then did everyone see clearly—the two silver figures were weaving through the gaps between the fireballs at strange angles, and every time they flapped their wings, they left a hundred-meter-long vacuum trail behind them.
The burning flames were neatly sliced apart, just like silk cut by an invisible blade.
"Hiss—"
A piercing insect cry suddenly pierced through the flames, and the mages in the front row suddenly covered their ears, blood oozing from their seven orifices.
The defensive Magic Arrays in front of them shattered like eggshells, and hundreds of people fell from the sky.
Elizabeth tapped the Void Realm lightly with her jade feet, and golden Holy Light poured down like a waterfall, enveloping everyone, finally blocking these invisible sound waves.
"Andre, you all retreat first, we…"
Constantine called out a warning; it was clear now that the experts within the Black Nether Armor Locusts had made their move. Mages were not suited for close combat; only ranged attacks could bring out their maximum advantage.
However, despite his warning, it was already too late.
The two silver figures suddenly accelerated like lightning, leaving a dazzling trail of Z-shaped afterimages in the air, approaching as swiftly as ghosts.
Before they had even fully approached, invisible slashes, like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, struck silently without warning.
These slashes were extremely fast, impossible for anyone to detect, as if they were black hands reaching out from the netherworld, cold and deadly.
Andre's expression changed slightly, and thinking to himself that it was bad, he acted without hesitation, wanting to lead everyone to quickly retreat from this dangerous place.
However, some of the people at the very front clearly could not react in time; before they could even see the true appearance of the two silver figures, they were struck by the terrifying invisible slashes.
In an instant, swaths of people burst apart like overripe fruit; flesh and blood flew, visceral fragments scattered everywhere, and the splashing blood mist dyed the entire sky a shocking shade of pink.
However, these two figures had no intention of stopping; their target was clearly Andre.
Like a silver whirlwind, they lunged straight toward Andre, their speed so fast it was jaw-dropping.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this, Constantine had already acted the moment he issued the warning.
One could see the Battle Qi around him surging like turbulent waves, instantly wrapping around his entire body.
The next moment, his figure appeared abruptly in front of the two silver figures, as if teleporting.
Constantine was fearless; his fists punched out like two cannonballs, carrying the momentum of thunder and lightning, crashing straight toward the two figures!
"Crack!"
The moment the two sides collided, the surrounding Void Realm seemed unable to bear this immense power and began to twist violently.
Accompanied by a piercing sound of compression and tearing, the Void Realm seemed to be forcibly ripped open, which was hair-raising.
Seeing this, Andre breathed a sigh of relief and, taking the mages with him, used spatial magic to instantly arrive in the sky behind the main army.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the two silver figures clearly; they were two three-meter-tall humanoid creatures.
Their bodies were covered in mirror-smooth silver carapaces, and four pairs of transparent wing membranes on their backs vibrated at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The most terrifying thing was their mouthparts; they were three serrated jaw blades arranged in a radial pattern, like the sharpest cold light, making one shudder.
"Bang!"
Constantine suddenly exerted force, directly knocking the two silver figures back hundreds of meters.
Seeing this, Andre's eyes flashed, and he directly activated the Omniscient Magic Book in his hand.
"In the name of the God of Magic—Void Realm Shackles!"
Instantly, the sound of chains clashing came from around the two silver figures; before they could react, several pitch-black chains emerged from the Void Realm and flew toward them rapidly.
