Ultragene Warlord

hat the mutated bug threw manifested the power of wind and storm—no, it reproduced the power of wind and storm with its strange brand of genetic energy.

Fang Yi ’s eyes widened.
”To think this fellow can learn such techniques so easily… ”

The bug wasn ’t so foolish as to think it would be able to survive Fang Yi ’s attack unharmed; it simply wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Fang Yi ’s attack!

The bug was trying to learn from Fang Yi in battle, even at the cost of its life.

The mutated bug possessed sufficient defensive ability to block even [Tiger ’s Howl, Dragon ’s Bellow], so there was no reason it couldn ’t have done the same to the weaker ability [Heaven ’s Judgment].
The reason it hadn ’t defended itself and chose instead to face the technique with its bare hands was to understand Fang Yi ’s skill on a corporeal level.

The first time its human opponent injured it, the mutated bug realized how strong it was.
The human possessed strength that it didn ’t, something that it couldn ’t compensate for with physical ability alone.

To Fang Yi, the technique he had used was no more than one among many.
The mutated bug, however, was shocked by what it had observed.
Fang Yi hadn ’t seemed to move at all—time had frozen.

One moment, the bug sensed that Fang Yi was about to attack; the next moment, a spear had pierced through its chest.

Fang Yi ’s ridiculous speed had left a deep impression on the mutated bug, who understood that the hunter before it possessed arcane knowledge it was unaware of, something it couldn ’t hope to overcome by pure physical strength alone.

As a result, the mutated bug decided to take a risk in an attempt to acquire Fang Yi ’s power for itself.

Fang Yi ’s eyes glinted with killing intent.

The fact that these mutated bugs had somehow obtained an ersatz version of humanity ’s genetic energy, and was even able to learn from its foes, meant that it was an unbelievably threatening foe.
Fang Yi had never felt so frightened by a race, not even the sura of the second realm, and he had never felt the need to eradicate all the bugs so keenly.

Physical strength alone could be countered, but if these bugs had both physical strength and incredible learning aptitude… Fang Yi shook his head.
The bugs had to be eradicated at all costs, or they would bleed humanity dry and construct their own civilization atop the corpses of mankind.

”[Heaven ’s Judgment]! [Tiger ’s Howl, Dragon ’s Bellow]! ”

Wind and storm combined and crackled at the tip of Fang Yi ’s spear, and a dragon ’s howl echoed resoundingly in the air.

Fang Yi leveled his spear.
Wind and lightning surged forth.

The bug ’s replicated technique was only a replica, and an inferior one based on incomplete understanding at that.
Fang Yi would be able to defeat it easily.

The bug ’s [Heaven ’s Judgment] was fully enveloped and consumed by Fang Yi ’s version of the attack.
It corkscrewed toward the bug ’s chest, where it exploded and split the bug ’s body into multiple fragments, each crackling with lightning.

On another part of the battlefield, Sun Xiaowu and Li Feng were facing an onslaught of bugs.
A mutated bug punched at Sun Xiaowu.
When the punches landed, a sound like tolling bells rang out from Sun Xiaowu ’s body, and a layer of golden runes appeared on the surface of his skin.

”[Adamantine Aegis]! ” The golden runes glowed, shining brightly like brands.

”[Goldenscale Palm]! ” Sun Xiaowu ’s arms glowed with resplendent light, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin.
An aura of intense strength emanated from Sun Xiaowu ’s body.

Frightening shockwaves of energy radiated through the battlefield as Sun Xiaowu punched forward, leaving a cavity in the bug ’s chest and sending it flying into the distance…
