Multi-Gene

The six others sighed in relief. If some other group had gotten hold of the guy, then things would be quite difficult for them.

"So he was able to escape?" One of them asked.

The leader didn't respond. He only stood still and silent as he observed his surroundings. It was as though he was trying to map out what had happened.

"No, he didn't escape, he killed them all." The leader said casually.

"What?" the members of his team were all stunned.

"Is he that strong?" The lady asked with furrowed brows. She was the second team leader.

Then the leader nodded his head. Closing his eyes, he suddenly moved forwards, standing in the exact position David had stood previously.

But that wasn't shocking enough, what he did next would have stunned David's speechlessly.

The young man suddenly had an indifferent expression and he opened his eyes, his vibe instantly matched up with David's vibe.

The young man suddenly gazed downwards, a few meters away from him. But the space was empty and he muttered something, his expression cold and in a few seconds, he performed a hand seal as though wanting to kill the empty space in front of him.

He had done the exact thing David had done when he was interrogating the young master.

Suddenly, the air blazed with heat and an intense fiery aura blossomed from the young man's flying blade, but before the fiery heat could form shape the young man staggered backwards as though he had been hit by something.

"Team leader!" The others quickly rushed to help him up.

"I'm alright." The team leader waved them off as he stood back steadily.

"What happened?" The frown on the lady's face deepened.

Smiling bitterly, "It was an earth grade technique, there was no way I would have replicated it without the mnemonics. And he seems to have noticed me since he expelled me before I could acquire the technique."

"An earth grade technique, although troublesome, he shouldn't be too difficult to deal with." The lady relaxed slightly, nodding her head.

"No, I feel something different about this person, we should be extra careful." The young man warned.

He then turned towards the direction David headed to. "He went towards that direction, he's looking for someplace safe to hideout in."

The others nodded their head and prepared after the leader had his rest, they headed towards the direction David had gone to.

Meanwhile, David was cutting through the grass like a demon when he suddenly froze. He could feel a creeping sensation caressing his entire being, making him uncomfortable.

David frowned slightly and with his ability to perfectly control his body. He checked what was wrong and he could feel some sort of indistinct waves crawling over his skin.

Rumble! Bang!!

It was suddenly crushed by the quiver of his muscles. Although he didn't know what it was, he still crushed it without hesitation. The feeling was akin to him having deja vu as the scene of him killing that young master began to surface. It was at that moment he destroyed the waves crawling over his skin.

David snorted and proceeded to wait.

In just a few seconds of waiting, there was a sharp whistling sound. David lifted his hands and slammed downwards.

BANG!

Kiiiiiiii!

A sharp screech echoed throughout the forest. David's muscles twitched and he sealed off his ears. "What kind of ant is this anyways."

The ant was more than half of David's height, and even after crushing its head. Its sharp stingers were as hard as metal was still attempting to bite through David's hand.

It was a pity David's skin was even tougher than steel its self, to pierce through his skin would require even more effort than that.

David was just feeling good when his expression suddenly changed.

"Not good!"

His figure flashed backwards like lightning and in just a fifth of a second, the ground beneath him collapsed, twenty Sickle-mouth ants burst out from underneath the ground, their wings buzzing loudly, making the wind and the earth tremble from their vibrations.

Kiiiii! Kiiii!! Kiiiii!!!

Sharp screeches exploded from everywhere. And as though that wasn't enough, David saw with his divine sense another group consisting of more than fifty of those ants, coming towards him.

David was suddenly filled with regret. He knew ants moved in pack yet he had dared to kill one and remained in the same place.

Without hesitation, David turned around and fled for his life. A total of a hundred Sickle-Mouth Ants started to pursue one human.

Their speed was so terrifying, an ordinary human would only be able to sense the change in the wind and not even seizing their shadows.

"Dammit!" His speed was fast, but it wasn't fast enough! He could see close to fifteen of those ants, flying through the air as they were catching up to him.

In just a minute of pursuit, they were directly behind him!

BANG!

David's feet smashed through the ground and he performed a backflip. At that moment, a sharp sickle mouth tore through the air, stabbing at nothing as it missed David by just a few centimetres.

David was right above the ant with the change in direction, he punched downwards ferociously. Tearing a hole in the skull of the ant.

The ant screeched loudly, it was so loud that it could definitely disrupt one's thought. But David had long since sealed his ears.

Using the momentum, his body was repelled backwards to the air again.

Whoosh!

Another ant stretched outwards to stab him by the side.

BANG!

A tree not too far from him exploded into pieces as David stomped on it, changing his direction very quickly, narrowing avoiding getting pierced.

Bam!

His elbow slammed into the midsection of the ant, instantly crushing its backbone, despite the amount of carapace it uses as defence.

Rolling to the ground, he drifted backwards with the kinetic force of his speed, placing his hands to the ground to stabilise himself.

A sharp glint shone in his eyes and his blood roared in absolute joy! It had been so long he fought like this! This was truly the way!

What mental energy? What heaven grade technique? He had forgotten them all!

This was truly the way to grow stronger, the martial path to godhood!

David licked his lips like a beast. His eyes glowed brightly, he had almost forgotten the fun in using one's hands to kill.

He had only just killed three of the fastest ants, the rest soon pounced on him violently.

"Hmph!"

The ground beneath his feet exploded as he stomped downwards. Instantly. One of the gigantic Sickle-mouth slammed violently to him.

Bam!!!

It was as though two flesh trains, traveling at top speed collided with one another.

David's body remained standing as a pole, his top exploded into pieces, leaving only his pants but the ant was sent flying backwards. Not letting this opportunity go, David grabbed at the ant's skull.

His muscles bulged and dark red veins appeared all over his muscular skin.

"Ahhh!"

Like a god of war, he lifted the ant as though it was a log of wood and smashed it at the one other any that had caught up.

Boom!

The two insect exploded into bloody meat paste, spilling greenish liquid all over his skin.. All that was left in David's hand was the skull of the insect.
