Chapter 460: Chapter 452 Man’s Dying Words are Good_1
“`
This Soul Craving Tendril Wood, because it grows in places with extremely dense yin aura like deep abysses and graveyards, is relatively easy to obtain, yet still quite rare.
If it reaches a purple-brown hue, its value is not inferior to that of the Thunderstruck Soul Nourishing Wood.
After realizing the value of this vine staff, Qin Niu’s thoughts turned, wondering, could the Everlasting Spring Technique bring this vine staff back to life?
At the moment, the head of the staff had nearly had all its energy absorbed by the Ink Blade.
He picked up the broken end of the staff in his hand, weighed it, and found it surprisingly heavy. The vine staff had been cut down for many years, and its life force probably had long been severed.
If it were a freshly cut vine staff, he would have great confidence in using the Everlasting Spring Technique to help it revive.
Qin Niu’s Medicine King Sutra had now advanced to the Innate Realm. Not only could he sense the medicinal aura and energy of plants, but he could also detect some of their subtler aspects. He tried injecting a strand of the Medicine King Sutra’s power into the interior of the vine staff.
As he had expected, after so many years, the vine staff had completely dried up.
He could not feel any vitality at all.
However, when his Medicine King Sutra’s power seeped into the body of the staff, he was pleasantly surprised to discover a hidden mechanism.
Inside, there was a mass of energy.
With his experience, he could tell that this energy had a hint of vitality, meaning its core still harbored a trace of life force.
Lacking the conditions to plant it now, Qin Niu immediately carefully tucked it away in his bosom.
Once the battle was over, he would bring the vine staff home and plant it either in the backyard or within the Qifeng Mountain Range.
The Mysterious Gu Master was dead, and the Insect Formation had been broken, the battle likely wouldn’t hold any more suspense.
Indeed, half an hour later, the situation on the battlefield had completely reversed.
The Black Tiger Gang now held a complete advantage, their morale surging like a rainbow. In contrast, the Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect were at the end of their tether.
The death of the Mysterious Gu Master had dealt a significant blow to the Nine Insect Gang.
Many were even starting to flee outright.
The Nine Insects Gang Leader was severely injured, no match for the Black Tiger Gang Leader.
“Xue Qiuhe, today I’ll let you enjoy your brief triumph. The mountains and rivers are evergreen, we will fight again another day,” the Nine Insects Gang Leader might have said because of her injuries, her once fair and tender face now had lines of wrinkles appearing.
And she was aging at a visible rate.
Her once jet-black hair now had strands of white, particularly noticeable at the temples.
Her Tyrant Demon Spider no longer exuded its fearsome aura, as it had lost two of its legs, and its body bore many wounds.
“Retreat!”
The Nine Insects Gang Leader led the gang’s experts in a retreat.
With this retreat, the pressure on the experts of the Shennong Sect instantly doubled.
“Think you can escape?”
The Black Tiger Gang Leader was a ruthless man.
It’s said that a man without poison is no real man, and he who is small-minded cannot be a gentleman.
Having finally inflicted a severe wound on the Nine Insects Gang Leader, even if the Black Tiger Gang Leader had once harbored feelings for her in his youth, he was not willing to let the tiger return to the mountain.
This was an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Nine Insects Gang Leader.
By killing her, the Black Tiger Gang could definitely wipe out the Nine Insect Gang in one fell swoop, and then settle the score with the Shennong Sect. At that time, the Black Tiger Gang could directly absorb these two sects.
“Protect the Gang Leader!”
One of the close confidants of the Nine Insects Gang Leader shouted sharply.
Yet the elders of the Nine Insect Gang seemed to have their own designs and did not protect the Gang Leader or cover her escape.
Instead, they fled even faster and more desperately.
The Nine Insect Gang originally had four great elders remaining, but now after another had died in battle, only three were left.
The shrewdest of them, the Great Elder, had already escaped until only a silhouette remained.
The Black Tiger Gang Leader, brandishing his sword, directly pursued the fleeing Nine Insects Gang Leader. Some loyal high-ranking members of the Nine Insect Gang emerged to block him.
Alas, not a single one of them was a match for the Black Tiger Gang Leader, who swept them aside with two strokes of his sword.
In the face of the Black Tiger Gang Leader, experts of the Innate Realm were as frail as chickens.
“Sister, go quickly!”
At this critical moment, the wife of the Shennong Sect Leader drew her sword and resolutely stood in front of the Black Tiger Gang Leader.
Her cultivation was at the bottom of the Spirit Qi Realm and was nowhere near powerful.
On the contrary, the strength of Pan Jianjun, the Shennong Sect Leader, was much greater; he had already reached the peak of the Spirit Qi Realm and was only one step from breaking through to the Immortal Scholar Realm.
