Somewhere in the void of the wasteland.
The surroundings were silent and shrouded in fog. Occasionally, one could see some figures moving through the fog, numb and stiff, they were zombies.
Suddenly, the slowly creeping mist twisted and then suddenly dispersed.
A white horse stepped out from the dispersed mist, and on its back sat a figure wearing silver armor.
The scarlet cloak was fluttering and emitting a strange, fishy smell.
I’m back... The scarlet ant queen looked around. Was the place she descended from the sea this time to the wilderness?
She needed to identify the location.
With a wave of her hand, the surrounding fog condensed and an anchor point emerged. She took out a dial from the anchor point and checked the location of the Termite City.
Fortunately, it’s not far from here.
The scarlet ant queen breathed a sigh of relief. She shook the reins and headed straight back to the termite city.
Not long after she started walking, she suddenly noticed something and looked towards another location.
"Um?"
There was a hint of doubt in the scarlet ant queen's eyes. She stopped the white horse and stared in that direction.
Soon, a white horse galloped over and a figure dressed exactly the same appeared.
The scarlet ant queen was a little surprised. If she hadn't felt that the other party was her current incarnation, she would have thought it was an unknown enemy in disguise or an attack, or that she had fallen into some kind of illusion.
"What happened?"
The scarlet ant queen immediately guessed something and asked in a deep voice.
"There is a great enemy."
The queen ant simply said three words, and when she came in front of the scarlet queen ant, she raised her hand, and the latter also raised her hand with understanding. The two palms were placed together, and the bodies of the same origin briefly merged at this moment.
Each other's memories overlap and exchange in an instant.
The scarlet ant queen was stunned.
Such a big thing happened during the time I was away?
Moreover, the culprit behind all this was not the Night Rat King that she was guarding against, but... Xu Shen?
His own subordinates?
A personal guard?
When she saw the various scenes of the battle between the other party and Xu Shen, including being suppressed by Xu Shen to his knees on the ground, she felt intolerable anger and disbelief.
But this fusion of memories is not simply watching the playback images. She can put herself into the experience and deeply feel the horrific suppression and the powerlessness and weakening she suffered at that time.
The personal guard he recruited transformed into a king, and his fighting power was incredibly strong.
She seemed to remember that the other party was a perception type?
How can there be a perception system that can suppress time?
a long time.
The Scarlet Ant Queen fell into a long silence. The Termite City had changed hands. This was the worst possible scenario she had thought of before she left, but she had thought the change of ownership was because the Night Rat King's attack had come earlier than planned.
If it fell into the hands of the Night Rat King, she could snatch it back at any time, but Xu Shen...
In a head-on confrontation, the scarlet ant queen found that she might not be able to defeat it.
There is simply no solution to that kind of indiscriminate terrorist weakening and suppression.
Moreover, the other party seemed to have mastered the power to see through cause and effect.
But fortunately, this time when she returned from Xuhai, she had this legendary Xu weapon on her, which gave her the power to change the world!
Moreover, the previous battle also allowed her to obtain information about Xu Shen's abilities in advance, so she just had to be careful to avoid them.
With almost no hesitation, the scarlet ant queen quickly activated her cloak ability.
refraction!
In her sight, she can see countless timelines. At this moment, she reflects her own image into other timelines.
Go back to the past and kill Xu Shen!
Not only does she want to wipe out Xu Shen, but also the Night Rat King. She wants to get rid of all of them in one go, and then deal with those who come to reinforce her later.
Soon, some figures were reflected on the battlefield where the Night Rat King launched an attack, trying to kill Xu Shen, who had just become king, or delay him.
The other figures directly reflect more distant moments.
Xu Shen is the Queen Ant's personal guard. She knows Xu Shen's detailed information, including the date when he became a member of Zhanxu.
Then let's go back to when he was just an ordinary person.
A projection traveled through the long river of time and came to a residential building.
night.
The small building was silent. All the people living inside were fog dwellers. There was not much entertainment, so they went to bed early.
The queen ant's projection swept her eyes and saw Xu Shen. What surprised her was that there was a C-level beast lurking in the room where Xu Shen lived.
Did you get into trouble... No wonder you became a killer.
The queen ant projection didn't think much and directly landed in the room, raised a gun, and stabbed at Xu Shen.
But when the spear was flying towards the sleeping boy on the bed, suddenly, a finger as white and tender as a scallion appeared out of thin air, as if it was poking out from deep space.
She couldn't see the owner of the finger, she could only see a piece of finger that appeared out of thin air.
But just such a delicate finger easily blocked her spear that was so powerful that it could destroy the entire building!
The queen ant's projection was stunned and her face changed in shock.
Time ability activated!
The surroundings were still, and the curtains continued to sway slightly, without moving.
But before the queen ant's projection could react, the finger was seen flicking gently.
Then, a terrifying force restrained her body. A dangerous sign so strong that it made her soul tremble came over her. Before she could react, her body suddenly exploded.
Consciousness extinguished.
The disappearance of the queen ant's projection also means that this memory cannot be transmitted back.
Moreover, it is only the collapse of the projection and will not affect the future queen ant.
After all, in this time and space, the current queen ant is in charge. If the current queen ant is killed, it will affect the future queen ant.
Before dying, the queen ant's projection couldn't even see the owner of the finger.
"I have projected into the past and killed him when he was still a fog dweller. In this way, no matter how powerful he is, he will be like a baby in the face of time, because I can go back to his infancy."
The scarlet ant queen said calmly.
The ability has been activated, and she feels that everything will be over.
But at this moment, suddenly a gust of wind came whistling rapidly.
The two queen ants quickly looked towards the source of the wind sound, and immediately saw the figure that made their faces change color. It was Xu Shen!
"How did he find it?"
The scarlet ant queen's face changed in shock. When she turned around, she checked to see if she was being followed, but she wasn't.
Now Xu Shen suddenly appeared, and in this short moment, he had rushed to a distance of 200 meters.
She knew that Xu Shen's territory was very large, 50 to 80 meters, or maybe even hundreds of meters. She didn't know if there were any hidden treasures, but she must not get close to this range.
And at Xu Shen's speed, 200 meters only takes half a second.
For 100 meters, 0.2 seconds is about right.
Time stop!!
The scarlet ant queen had almost no time to think. In shock and anger, she instantly activated the time stop function. Everything froze, including Xu Shen who was roaring at supersonic speed and was also frozen in mid-air.
She could clearly see Xu Shen's cold and ruthless eyes, like frosty arrows.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
There was also murderous intent in the eyes of the scarlet ant queen. Now she was no match for the projected fake. After the trip to Xu Hai, her strength had been greatly enhanced, and she was now by his side.
Join forces with each other and combine your abilities!
She can now stop time for up to 10 seconds!
If the current bodies are superimposed, it can reach 15 seconds!
How terrible is a 15-second time stop? For a king-level fighting speed, it is enough to kill a person a hundred times.
"Let him rot!"
The scarlet ant queen gave orders to the sitting white horse.
Both white horses nodded, and the refracted projection fakes also released their abilities, and the abilities of the two white horses were also superimposed.
Then, the scarlet queen ant started to accelerate time!
Her time acceleration effect is also faster than before!
Horrible signs of aging appeared on Xu Shen's body. Wrinkles appeared on his body and he began to rot and wither.
In 3 seconds, Xu Shen had turned into a 60-year-old.
In 6 seconds, Xu Shen's hair turned gray and sores appeared all over his body.
In 10 seconds, Xu Shen's flesh and blood rotted away, leaving only bones.
In 12 seconds, Xu Shen's bones also rotted and disappeared, leaving only a piece of Xu Bing in the air.
In just 12 seconds, a king went from youth to decay and disappeared.
The scarlet ant queen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to do it more thoroughly, but suddenly, her world in which time had stopped became unstable and showed signs of loosening. In just the next second, the time stop ended.
The time stop can last for 15 seconds, but this time it only lasted for 13 seconds.
The scarlet ant queen was startled and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The world that had stopped time resumed movement. In the bushes below, a figure quickly crawled and stood up. It was Xu Shen.
His flesh and blood condensed all over his body, and his eyeballs and facial structures emerged, but they returned to their original state in just 2 seconds.
Then, Xu Shen raised his hand, and the black eyeball that was suspended in the void flew over and merged into his body.
It turned out that before the attack, Xu Shen had already let Hai Jue wrap part of his body and lurk nearby. If Hai Jue didn't die, he could regenerate infinitely.
The reason why the Scarlet Ant Queen can only stop time for 13 seconds is because... she is already under her own domain!
“Damn it!”
The scarlet ant queen reacted instantly, and when she saw the reborn Xu Shen, murderous intent in her eyes surged.
Once again, she almost didn't pause and quickly activated the time stop.
This time she did not choose to retreat from Xu Shen's territory immediately. Although her abilities would be suppressed in Xu Shen's territory, as evidenced by the time stop being reduced to 13 seconds, it was enough!
She wanted to kill Xu Shen in one breath.
As Baimaxu's ability was activated again, the Scarlet Ant Queen watched Xu Shen, who had just reshaped his body, quickly rot, wither, and transform into bones again.
This time the speed was even more violent than before, and only bones were left in just 8 seconds.
By 10 seconds, Xu Shen's bones were about to rot and disappear.
This is Xu Shen’s true form. As long as he is completely decayed and obliterated, he can be killed.
There is still time...
There was a gleam in the scarlet queen ant's eyes, but suddenly, at 11 seconds, time and space loosened.
Then, the time stop ended.
As for Xu Shen, who was about to rot and disappear, a large amount of blood quickly grew on the bone, covering his body. In just two seconds, it returned to its original state.
"!!"
The scarlet ant queen looked at Xu Shen in shock, and soon she realized that something was wrong. The body of Xu Shen that had lurked before was only half of his body, so his range was limited. Now it was his whole body, and the interference with her abilities could only allow her to reach the limit of 11 seconds of time stop!
"It's my turn."
Xu Shen rushed out quickly as soon as he recovered.
With the combination of small wins big and reinforcement, it is covered by four levels of amplification, and the first move is an all-out confrontation.
After all, the two of them already know each other's abilities. When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. Whoever seizes the initiative first will win!
After launching the Extreme Time Stop twice in a row, the Scarlet Ant Queen gritted her teeth and launched it for the third time.
But this time, she chose to distance herself first.
Soon, time stop and time acceleration were used on herself, and she retreated 200 meters in a blink of an eye. Her thoughts raced, and she finally chose to delay and wait for her projected past self to deal with Xu Shen.
This time it only pauses for 3 seconds.
After putting some distance between them, the scarlet ant queen accelerated time on herself and flew away quickly.
Xu Shen saw that the other party actually chose to escape, which was indeed a wise choice.
Otherwise, if the opponent continued to stay and fight, even if his current body completely disappeared, Hai Jue still had a small part of his body buried somewhere, which was also filled with a small amount of his blood, so he could still regenerate.
Like the queen ant, he also left a backup plan for himself.
The King is different from the Two States and is extremely difficult to kill. In the previous battle between the Four Kings, the fight was so fierce, but in the end only the green-haired woman died, and she died at her own hands. This shows how valuable the King is.
Draw your sword!
Xu Shen chased to the place where the queen ant had originally stayed, and suddenly slashed the cause and effect line in the void with a sword.
Every cause has its effect.
The thread was cut, and the fleeing scarlet ant queen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, as if she had been severely injured, with a torn scar on her shoulder.
She looked back and saw Xu Shen chasing after her with a sword in his hand. She couldn't help but look shocked.
This ability is very similar to her attack on the "past".
But now it was someone else's turn to treat her like this.
Moreover, being stared at by Xu Shen, she felt as if there was something unnatural in her body, a feeling of being weakened.
Can simply looking at yourself have a weakening effect?
Although this weakening cannot be compared with Xu Shen's domain, in an extreme battle, this trace amount may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
whoosh!
The scarlet queen ant fled at full speed.
Xu Shen kept swinging and slashing as he chased.
One by one, the lines of cause and effect were severed.
Scars began to appear on the body of the scarlet ant queen. The Baimaxu she was sitting on was even worse off. He let out wailing and growling, and his whole body was covered with cracks, as if it was about to break apart.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
After just one minute of escape, the scarlet ant queen was already covered in blood. She was filled with shock and anger. She had already activated the refraction and returned to the time before Xu Shen just became a member of Zhanxu.
Why can he deal with Xu Shen with his own strength?
Didn’t you find it?
She felt angry, and even though she knew that this anger towards the projection was equivalent to anger towards herself, she still couldn't control it.
"Finish."
Suddenly, two cold words came.
The scarlet ant queen suddenly turned her head and looked, instinctively sensing the approaching danger.
She saw that Xu Shen's speed suddenly increased again, and the sword in his hand became infinitely huge in her pupils, as if replacing the heaven and earth.
This sword gave her a feeling that she could not dodge.
How can you hide if the whole sky collapses?
This was the feeling she had when she faced the green-haired woman before.
And this ability...actually appeared in Xu Shen? !
The scarlet ant queen was shocked. At this moment, she suddenly understood what Xu Shen’s true ability was.
She couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She thought her time was already invincible, but it turned out that she had this ability?
Time accelerated and then slowed down.
The scarlet ant queen tried to activate time stop, but it only lasted for 5 seconds.
Although there was a gap of 5 seconds, as soon as the time stop ended, Xu Shen caught up again at an incredible speed.
Under the quadruple amplification, Xu Shen's speed had already reached an extremely exaggerated level. At this moment, when the precision acted on the sword tip, the sword tip seemed to be guided, autonomously pulling and tracking towards the target. This was a kind of force!
This force will also drive Xu Shen's body, allowing his speed to increase again.
and,
Strengthening capabilities can also affect precision.
The enhanced accuracy makes this tracking force that is bound to hit even stronger.
The distance that had just been opened was caught up in just two breaths.
At this moment, the queen ant is still escaping in an accelerated time.
She has Hai Yuesheng's body movements, and has reached the third stage, but this kind of body movement is more about flexible combat, while sprinting in a straight line... this is like stepping on the gas.
At this moment, she was obviously having trouble stepping on the accelerator. It wasn't because she was not fast enough, but because Xu Shen was too fast.
Even though she disappeared from Xu Shen's sight and seemed to have gotten away, Xu Shen was able to quickly track her down along the line of cause and effect.
The unavoidable sword edge once again replaced the sky and chased from behind.
There was a hint of ferocity in the eyes of the scarlet ant queen. She activated the time stop again and swallowed up the present body beside her. The injuries on her body healed quickly and the power in her body became even stronger.
At this moment, she is almost at the stage of her most victorious period.
With a whoosh, she distanced herself from Xu Shen again and disappeared from his sight.
And Xu Shen quickly followed the causal line.
The causal line was chopped all the way along the way, and the Baimaxu under the scarlet ant queen was already seriously injured, so the scarlet ant queen had to reluctantly abandon it.
The abandoned Baimaxu stopped and stood in front of Xu Shen, as if trying to stop Xu Shen.
Seeing how loyal it was, Xu Shen suddenly thought of Kuroxue.
Although Kuroyuki always wanted to eat him, Xu Shen knew that this sister had such thoughts because she had feelings for him...
Baimaxu looked at Xu Shen who was approaching rapidly. Just as he was about to activate his ability, he suddenly found that his body was shrinking rapidly and his ability became extremely weak.
Especially when Xu Shen passed by it, its body shrank into that of a calf.
Baimaxu was stunned.
When Xu Shen left with a roar, it came to its senses and was stunned. Xu Shen didn't kill it?
When it reacted and felt the strength returning to its body, it knew that it had escaped from Xu Shen's realm.
Or perhaps Xu Shen had already rushed too far.
It hurriedly turned around to chase, but suddenly a figure blocked its way.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of death?"
Baimaxu's eyes changed slightly as he looked at a girl who appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
The girl was Ling Lu. She said with a smile, "Don't disturb my spare dad and mom, or I will beat you up."
Baimaxu growled, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately activated his ability, withering and rotting.
But when this ability acted on Ling Lu, it was quickly offset and purified by another ability.
In a state where time is not still, Linglu's ability can directly wipe out this curse-like attack.
"You're really disobedient, then let me play with you..."
Linglu smiled and jumped directly onto Baimaxu's back.
On the other side, Xu Shen was still hunting down the scarlet ant queen.
The scarlet ant queen fled all the way, feeling aggrieved.
I have never been so embarrassed even in Xuhai.
Having just returned from obtaining a legendary weapon, she knew what this weapon meant to her, and could also see how her own strength would be used in the future.
Even entering the ruling council is not a dream!
The future of the inner city will be decided by her!
Many of the ideas I had in the past can now be realized, and everything can be said to be beautiful.
As a result, when he returned, he heard the bad news, and then he was in this embarrassed state now.
She regretted in her heart why she didn't kill Xu Shen on the spot when she selected her personal guards.
call!
The attack came from behind, and the Scarlet Ant Queen had to continue to stop and dodge.
The successive activations of her abilities had almost exhausted her strength.
10 minutes, 15 minutes.
The scarlet ant queen was covered in blood and her face was pale. When Xu Shen came to chase her again, she activated the time stop again.
But this time it only lasted for 2 seconds before she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
As soon as the time stop ended, Xu Shen approached instantly, and this time, the distance between them was shortened to within 50 meters.
The closer the distance, the stronger Xu Shen's weakening power.
The scarlet ant queen's pupils contracted, and she hurriedly tried to stop time again, but she found that the time stop only lasted 0.5 seconds.
And she could no longer accelerate time while stopping it, as using these two powers at the same time would consume too much energy.
30 meters.
Xu Shen's distance was further shortened.
"die!"
Xu Shen's eyes were cold, and without any unnecessary words, he slashed out with his sword.
The distance of 30 meters was instantly reduced to 5 meters, and then to 2 meters.
At this distance, the Scarlet Ant Queen is in no condition to stop time.
Absolute weakening and suppression, that sword will definitely hit, even if escaping into the "past" is the most labor-saving way, but the scarlet ant queen knows that doing so is futile.
This sword will definitely hit me.
"I should have killed you back then!!"
The scarlet ant queen looked at Xu Shen with a ferocious face, full of resentment, anger, and even deeper despair.
With a puff, her body exploded and her armor shattered.
