Chapter 456: Chapter 448 Breaking the Insect Formation_1

The Fang Family had their own considerations for doing so.

With the once-a-decade Water and Land Dharma Assembly about to begin, the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s cultivation had broken through to the Immortal Master Realm. If nothing unexpected occurred, he was very likely to fight his way out among the many competitors and successfully win a chance at immortality.

Once he obtained the entry ticket from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, the Black Tiger Gang Leader naturally wouldn’t have the time or energy to manage the Black Tiger Gang anymore.

At that time, a new Gang Leader would definitely be selected.

If Fang Lian performed well in this crucial war and made a name for himself, the Fang Family could later exert their influence to help him fight for the position of Gang Leader, and the chances of success were very high.

At least among the younger generation, whether it was the Lu Family, the family that the Black Tiger Gang Leader belonged to, or the other large families, none were currently able to compete with Fang Lian.

To become the leader of a gang, one either needed to have very solid cultivation, management abilities, and personal character, or one must be exceptional and be backed by a powerful family.

Fang Lian’s character and management skills were not lacking; though his cultivation was somewhat weaker, it was still considered excellent among his peers.

Most importantly, the Fang Family was currently the most powerful family in Black Tiger City.

When the time came to choose a new Gang Leader, this factor would definitely be taken into account.

Otherwise, if the new Gang Leader couldn’t suppress the other families, internal strife would easily occur.

This was something the current Black Tiger Gang Leader absolutely did not want to see.

Considering various factors, the Black Tiger Gang Leader was most likely to nominate Fang Lian as his successor.

The other families weren’t fools either; they clearly understood the Fang Family’s intentions.

They definitely wouldn’t openly oppose the Fang Family, but watching the five Fang Family elders struggling alone against formidable enemies, without any help, was what they could do.

If one or two of the Fang Family elders died in battle, it would be a result they were very happy to see.

On the other hand, the bravery and spirit the Fang Family displayed by fighting alone against two faction leaders would be enough to establish unprecedented prestige for the Fang Family.

“A bunch of mayflies! They all deserve to die!”

The mysterious elder made his move again, as the terrifying tide of insects attacked every powerful person in the enemy’s formation indiscriminately.

This kind of method was simply defying the heavens.

It was equivalent to him single-handedly challenging all the strong members of the Black Tiger Gang.

The Black Tiger Gang Leader was an Immortal Master, and the Black Tiger under him was a tiger demon, equivalent to two Immortal Masters. There were also many strong Spirit Qi Realm warriors.

Such a powerful force was something that even an ordinary Immortal Master from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare to confront alone.

The Gu Master, this mysterious profession that was banned by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, indeed had its unique aspects.

The mysterious elder compared these people to mayflies, but did not call them ants, adding to Qin Niu’s suspicions about this person’s background.

In the eyes of ordinary people, ants signify weakness.

But in the eyes of Insect Masters, the strongest insects are actually ants.

Of course, not common ants, but various Heavenly Earth Strange Insects. For instance, the world-famous Void Ant, Heavenly Crystal Ant, Gold Devouring Ant, and so on.

Among the ranking of Heavenly Earth Strange Insects, at least two out of the top ten belong to ants.

Mayfly does not refer to the ant species alone.

It refers to both the mol cricket and the ant species.

The mol cricket is well-known for its great strength, possessing two front legs full of serrated edges that can rapidly excavate soil or push stones much heavier than their own weight.

Compared to ants, mol crickets are much less famous.

This does not mean they are weak.

Rather, it is because mol crickets have a simpler breed variety and are not as numerous as ants.

The base number of ants is terrifying, hence many Heavenly Earth Strange Insects emerge.

With a smaller base number, mol crickets naturally have far fewer variants.

The mysterious elder’s respect for mayflies indicates that before becoming a Gu Master, he was likely an Insect Master.

In fact, Gu Masters originally came from Insect Masters, considered a branch that surpassed its origin.

At the moment, the strength of both sides was not much different, but with the enemy camp setting up a super Insect Formation and the support of this mysterious Gu Master, the situation had suddenly reversed.

Under the dual attack of the insect tide and the enemies, the five elders of the Fang Family were the first to suffer.

After all, the Nine Insects Gang Leader was too powerful.

Aside from the Black Tiger Gang Leader, almost no one could rival her.

With one slash of her sword, four streaks of Sword Qi were directed towards four of the Fang Family elders.

The four elders of the Fang Family managed to barely fend off the Sword Qi but were overwhelmed by the insect tide, putting them in grave danger.

As it seemed that the elders of the Fang Family were on the brink of total annihilation, Fang Lian was heartbroken.

If the five elders died in battle, the Fang Family would immediately go from being a top-tier family in Black Tiger City to a second-tier one.
