"Klaus? You're here too?"
Fang Heng was sowhat surprised to see Klaus and his group.
When he first arrived at the Seven Realms Martial Capital, he was unfamiliar with the Black Fog and had been taken to prison. Later, with the help of Klaus and a group of youths, he obtained identification.
Afterwards, Klaus and the others also joined the Noel Clan. However, as they were newcors trained within the clan, their path was completely different from the martial artists Fang Heng recruited externally, so they lost contact afterward.
"Brother Fang! We've heard you're amazing"
Lais and the group of young people were quite excited, surrounding Fang Heng and talking nonstop.
They had only later learned within the clan that Fang Heng was terrifyingly strong, shining in the KOF arena and consecutively defeating multiple opponents in frightening streaks.
"Fang Heng." A Noel Clan elder beside him nodded at Fang Heng. "I am the team-leading elder, Nute. These young people have been training in the Noel Clan for so ti. This ti, they will accompany you on the mission as part of their practical training course."
Fang Heng nodded slightly and clasped his fists in salute to the elder. "Greetings, elder."
"You're welco."
The team-leading elder did not seem to like talking much and closed his eyes again, leaving only Klaus's group of youths surrounding Fang Heng, bombarding him with questions, treating him as the target of their admiration.
Two accompanying Noel Clan martial artists shook their heads quietly at the scene, thinking to themselves that these youngsters did not know their limits. Surpassing Fang Heng? They could only dare to imagine.
The gap between a normal martial artist and a high-tier martial artist was like an impassable chasm. They now looked at Fang Heng as though he were a monster, fully aware of the terrifying difference, while these young people hadn't even reached martial artist level yet.
Four and a half hours later, the ship successfully completed the jump and landed on a plain of a planet.
Fang Heng glanced out the main control room window and frowned at the view outside.
Creep!
The plain in the distance was already covered by a writhing carpet of creep. The dense creep worms surged forward like a tide, relentlessly advancing.
The Noel Clan also relied on chanical combat units as their main force, but their technology was far behind the spawns! Their formation included fully ard rcenaries.
Two martial artists led the team, controlling the situation and setting up defensive lines in advance to wipe out the advancing creep worms.
Hmm? An alchemy magic array?
Fang Heng looked toward the flashing lights on the right.
Nasir stood above a massive magic array, which emitted faint cyan magical fluctuations.
Alchemy magic array-Wind Blade Storm.
Two tornadoes rapidly condensed at the center of the arrays, and under Nasir's control, swept forward into the dense clusters of mutant worm creatures.
The creep worms caught in the wind blade tornadoes were lifted uncontrollably into the air, torn apart in the high-altitude storm until
completely destroyed.
With the support of the alchemy magic array, Nasir could remotely control up to eighteen tornadoes, each with a radius of five ters, in his limit state, causing massive area damage to the swarm.
Fang Heng nodded silently.
Nasir was indeed skilled.
A martial artist could exert trendous effect on such a battlefield.
Klaus and the other youths were experiencing such a scene for the first ti. They gathered at the glass, watching the blood-soaked battlefield outside, their eyes showing not fear but intense excitent.
"Stop staring. Put on your combat suits and prepare to join the fight."
"Yes, elder!"
Elder Nute glanced at Fang Heng and nodded. He spoke, "Fang Heng, you are a high-tier martial artist recruited by the clan. Unless in ergencies, you may act freely. Your goal is to reduce the number of mutant worms and delay their complete occupation of this world while awaiting reinforcents. The sudden outbreak of the Seed of Ouroboros left us little reaction ti. All the forces of the Seven Realms Martial Capital need ti to assemble."
"Understood."
Fang Heng nodded lightly and walked toward the ship deck.
The ship had already established communication with the planet's fleet. Its external wings deployed into combat mode, and the chanical beam cannons mounted outside activated for long-range attack.
The chief commander of the Noel Clan fleet on this planet looked on in
surprise.
Sothing was off.
They had expected that once the reinforcent ship arrived, their strength would increase, allowing them to withstand the worm surge longer or even attempt a counterattack.
But with the ship's arrival, the mutant worm creatures' attacks appeared even
stronger.
Fang Heng leapt from the ship, and a thick stench of blood hit his nose.
Creep worms were lower-tier mutant worms, but on this planet, they were
faster and had stronger attributes.
"Brother Fang? You're here too?"
Nasir noticed Fang Heng and, initially surprised, then showed excitent. "I thought you were secluded. It's great that you're here to help. These creep worms are different-they can spray acidic sli when they get close, which threatens alloy tals and defensive barriers. We mustn't let them get near."
"Understood."
Fang Heng acknowledged and quickly condensed an imprint in front of him.
Fire elental*Scorching Earth!
"Boom!!!"
Converting his ntal strength into elental breath, he condensed sheets of
searing flas in front of him, rapidly spreading across the creeping ground.
The fire spread over a large area of mutant worm swarms and creep, causing the swarms to crackle and pop under the intense heat.
Soon, they exploded one after another.
"Impressive!"
Nasir gave Fang Heng a thumbs-up.
After clearing a large area of the swarm with a single move, Fang Heng turned
to Nasir and asked, "Do you know the specifics? I was sent here right after my cultivation ended. How did it get like this?"
"I don't know either. I'm just as confused. All I know is that the Noel Clan suddenly obtained reports of mutant worm attacks. At first, we didn't take it. seriously. But the worms expanded extrely fast. Within a few hours, over thirty planets were completely consud. I heard this Seed of Ouroboros is spreading faster than any previous outbreak, rapidly infecting the star domain." Nasir paused, then continued, "I also heard rumors that the spawns have a detection system for the Seed of Ouroboros' strength. Guess what the reading
is?"
"How much? Maximum?"
"Not just maximum, it's off the charts, beyond the detection range of the spawns' instrunts," Nasir shrugged. "Our planet is one of the frontline defense points. The mission we received is to hold the line. Pressure isn't too bad, especially with you here. Holding out ten days, maybe half a month, will be
easy!"
