Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 535: Chapter 528: The Forest Race

WHIRRRRRR!!

Amidst the roar of its blades, the helicopter hovered over a spot in the basin’s rainforest.

Through the helicopter’s windows, they could see a dense jungle with incredibly thick vegetation below.

The Congo Basin.

This place had the highest vegetation coverage on the entire Black Continent, one of the world’s few remaining primeval rainforests.

"We have arrived above the destination..."

Just then, Andrew’s emotionless voice sounded out.

"We’re here?"

The helicopter floated above the rainforest as the few people inside the cabin observed their surroundings through the windows.

But in the next moment, their pupils constricted.

WHOOSH!!!

A shadow shot out from the dense rainforest below.

It was incredibly fast, seemingly breaking the sound barrier as it hurtled toward the helicopter.

Inside the cabin, the group caught a glimpse of the shadow’s true form.

It was a tree branch, about as thick as an arm.

BAM!!

The helicopter stood no chance. The speeding branch pierced it instantly, like a fly skewered by a needle. The power system was immediately destroyed, the rotors ground to a halt, and the helicopter lost its balance, tumbling toward the rainforest below.

"It seems some old friends have been lying in wait for us."

Hui Ming’s expression was calm, as if he had already anticipated this.

"The Forest Race."

Andy narrowed his eyes slightly.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Then, a dense volley of branches shot up from the ground like javelins.

In an instant, the helicopter carrying Hui Ming and the others was pierced by countless vines, riddled with holes, and torn apart in mid-air.

Several figures shot out from the helicopter’s wreckage, plummeting toward the ground.

At the same time, another wave of countless sharp branches rushed toward them.

However, it was impossible to harm beings who stood at the pinnacle of the world with such methods.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The figures made slight movements with their arms in mid-air. They used their magnetic fields to disrupt the surrounding air currents and bat away all the attacking branches. With a tremendous crash, the figures landed on the ground simultaneously.

They were surrounded by a dense jungle. From all directions, a mist began to drift in, carrying with it the fragrance of some kind of flower. The scent instinctively caused one’s body to relax its tension and drop its guard. It soothed the mind and induced a slight, irresistible drowsiness.

This was one of the enemy’s abilities. If they inhaled too much of it, perhaps even beings like them would be weakened to an unbearable degree.

Hui Ming frowned slightly and immediately released his magnetic field. But even with his Magnetic Field Ability, he couldn’t sense any abnormalities in the surroundings.

It was just like a natural phenomenon in the jungle.

"Don’t waste your energy. This is the Forest Race’s ’Natural Mimicry.’ In the jungle, their magnetic fields completely merge with the surrounding trees and vegetation, making them impossible to distinguish."

"This mist must come from unique plants specially cultivated by the Forest Race using their own magnetic fields as a base. It’s silently infused with the power of their magnetic fields, so even we will inevitably be weakened if we stay in this fog for too long."

Andy, who seemed to know a great deal about the Forest Race, explained.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The next moment, the soil loosened, and countless vines shot out from the ground without a sound. They were so dense that even though everyone present could break the sound barrier with their physical bodies, they had no way to dodge an attack that left no gaps.

Heart Nightmare Space!!

VWOOM!!!

Hui Ming abruptly expanded his magnetic field, unleashing his own magnetic field Domain. He intended to forcibly drag the surrounding environment into a Nightmare and completely control the attackers.

In an instant, an area nearly five hundred meters in radius was enveloped by Hui Ming’s vast magnetic field.

However, within the Heart Nightmare Space, the vines remained completely unaffected by his magnetic field and continued their assault. Furthermore, his magnetic field detected no signs of life.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

In a flash, everyone present was tightly bound by the vines, with only their heads exposed.

Hui Ming tried to struggle, but he found that the vines were even tougher than specially-made steel wire.

"The Forest Race’s specially-made ’Green Ghost Vine.’ In terms of pure toughness, you probably won’t find any Materials on Earth that can compare. And don’t waste your energy. In a specific forest environment like this, the range of the Forest Race’s magnetic field can extend for several kilometers. Our enemies could still be kilometers away."

Andy’s exposed head shot Hui Ming a helpless look.

"Tsk, the Forest Race is as troublesome as they say. So, you’re saying they have an almost overwhelming advantage over us in a jungle environment?"

Hui Ming said, his face calm.

"Not exactly. This is the core area sealed by a King Level being. The surrounding plants were all specially cultivated by the Forest Race. Whether in terms of power or the affinity for controlling them, they can’t be compared to ordinary plants outside. If we were in any other jungle, our disadvantage would be smaller."

Andy said.

"No wonder you spent so many years developing your influence on the Black Continent but never managed to set foot in the Congo Basin."

Hui Ming said, shaking his head.

The Forest Race was a group of Spirit Guardians whose abilities were extremely reliant on the environment and prior preparations. Confronting them head-on in their home territory was undoubtedly an irrational act.

Even existences at the Seven Mo Luo Level like them would suffer a setback.

CRACK!! CRACK!!

Just then, the trunk of the nearest large tree began to twist. Before long, a human-like face grew out of the bark.

"So you came after all. But you were too arrogant, daring to step into our territory without any preparations. You’re courting death."

"It seems our race has been silent for so many years that you’ve forgotten our strength."

A strange voice emanated from the face on the tree trunk.

"Hmm, inside this territory you’ve prepared in advance, your abilities are indeed difficult to deal with. But did you say we were unprepared?"

"Heh, it seems that after all these years, you’ve also forgotten just what terrifying power a so-called ’King Level’ possesses."

A mocking smile appeared on Andy’s lips.

SWOOSH!!

The next moment, among the four of them, the man completely shrouded in a black robe erupted with a spiky, azure light. The light was like tangible spikes, instantly piercing and severing the vines that were tougher than steel wire.

Then, the black-robed man slowly raised his arm.

Countless points of light gathered in his palm, forming what looked like a sharp longsword.

Faintly visible on the blade of the sword was the image of a Divine Beast—a ferocious turtle-snake hybrid shrouded in black mist, exuding an aura of malevolence and gloom.

SWOOSH!!

With a light wave of his arm, the sword of light in his palm suddenly extended dozens of meters and swept across the area.

Within a radius of several dozen meters, all the trees and vegetation were instantly sliced in half!!

As far as the eye could see, the dense jungle had been transformed into a barren patch of land.

There was no violent release of power, no terrifying disturbance of the air. Everything seemed so effortless.

This kind of Power had already surpassed the scope of mere magnetic field influence.

This was the Power wielded by a King Level!
