Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

Under the cover of the sword formation, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced. They seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, swinging their weapons even more fiercely at the ants. Baili Pangpang roared and swung his giant axe, repelling the approaching ants one by one. Each of his attacks was filled with great power, and sparks flew as the giant axe struck the ants' exoskeletons.

Cao Yuan moved with agility, wielding a dagger as he nimbly weaved through the ant swarm. His dagger gleamed coldly, its blade aimed precisely at the ants' vital points. With each strike, an ant fell; his figure was like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable.

Hongying brandished her long whip, which crackled crisply in the air. While attacking the ants, she kept a close watch on the safety of the little girl she had rescued. The little girl clung tightly to Hongying's back, her eyes filled with fear and panic. Hongying turned around every now and then, softly comforting her, "Don't be afraid, sister will protect you."

An Qingyu stood to the side, holding some homemade tools and weapons. He constantly observed the situation on the battlefield, using his tools to create small traps and obstacles to disrupt the ants' attack. His eyes were focused and calm; although he wasn't directly involved in the battle, his role was equally significant.

With everyone working together, the ants' attack was gradually contained. Their numbers began to decrease, and their offensive became less fierce.

However, Su Ming knew that the battle was not over yet. While the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was powerful, his stamina was constantly being depleted. If he couldn't quickly eliminate these ants, once his strength was exhausted, everyone would be in danger again.

"Everyone, give it your all! Let's wipe out these ants in one fell swoop!" Su Ming shouted, gritting his teeth as he once again manipulated the sword formation to launch an even more ferocious attack.

Four flying swords intertwined in the air, creating an even more complex and deadly net that enveloped the ant swarm. The ants struggled within the net, letting out pitiful cries, but they could not escape their fate of being slain.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the ants were completely wiped out. The ground was covered with ant corpses, and black blood flowed like a river, emitting a strong, pungent stench.

Exhausted, the group collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Though their faces bore the marks of fatigue and injury, their eyes shone with the joy and satisfaction of victory.

“We won…” Hongying said softly, her voice trembling slightly, both from the exhaustion of the battle and from the joy of victory.

Su Ming put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, his face pale, but his eyes still showed determination: "Yes, we won. But this is only temporary. There are still more dangers waiting for us in this forest. We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place."

Everyone nodded; they knew Su Ming was right. In this mysterious and dangerous primeval forest, every step was fraught with unknowns and challenges. But they believed that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward…

On the edge of the battlefield, thick with the stench of blood and decay, Su Ming and his team sat on the ground, each face bearing the weariness of surviving a calamity, yet their eyes gleaming with the light of victory. They carefully counted the spoils they had obtained after slaying the ants, the surrounding air still seeming to hold the tension and intensity of the battle.

Su Ming's fingers gently traced the edge of a brand-new longsword. Its blade gleamed coldly, incredibly sharp, and the hilt was engraved with intricate patterns, seemingly telling tales of its ancient and mysterious origins. The moment his hand touched the sword, a familiar yet powerful aura washed over him. He felt a jolt in his heart, realizing that this sword was inextricably linked to his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

“This is…” Su Ming murmured to himself, his eyes revealing surprise and doubt. He carefully examined the longsword in his hand and found that there were faint rune fluctuations on the blade similar to those of the other flying swords in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Although they were subtle, they did not escape his keen perception.

"Could this sword also be part of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?" Su Ming wondered to himself. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to establish a connection with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to explore the secrets of this sword.

Deep within his consciousness, the image of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation slowly emerged. It was a mysterious sword formation woven from light, with four flying swords slowly rotating around a center, radiating a powerful and majestic aura. And when Su Ming brought his new sword close to the formation, something miraculous happened—the formation actively accepted the sword, slowly merging into it, resonating with the other flying swords, making the formation's aura even stronger and more mysterious.

Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "I understand! This Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation seems to have no upper limit on the number of swords! Every sword that is integrated into the formation can enhance its power. This is simply incredible!"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, the team members gathered around, their faces showing curiosity and surprise.

"Captain, what is the origin of this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation? How is it so magical?" Baili Pangpang scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.

Su Ming shook his head slightly: "I'm not quite sure either, but I can sense its power and mystery. All the monsters we've slain along the way seem to be connected to the perfection of this sword formation. Perhaps, deep within this forest, there are more secrets and opportunities related to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

Cao Yuan said thoughtfully, "In any case, this is good news for us. With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation constantly growing stronger, we will have more protection when facing the dangers ahead."

Hongying gently stroked the hair of the rescued little girl, a hint of worry in her eyes: "But the dangers in this forest are increasing, and we don't know what else we'll encounter. We need to find a way to leave here as soon as possible and get Tingting back safely."

Su Ming nodded: "Hongying is right. Let's rest for a while and recover our strength, then continue searching for a way out of the forest. In the meantime, I need to study this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation carefully to see if we can further unleash its power."

So, the group stopped for the time being in this relatively safe place. Su Ming found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, held the longsword that had been newly integrated into the sword formation, and entered a meditative state once again.

In his mind, his connection with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation became even stronger.
