Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 444: Phantom Messenger_1 (2/2)

Still four Sword Qi strikes, three of which were once again blocked by the Black Tiger Gang Leader and his pet tiger, leaving the remaining one slashing towards Gongsun Jin.

At this moment, Gongsun Jin was clearly much more passive.

He could not escape.

Behind him were all fireflies, any one of which could kill him, a strong Spirit Qi Realm expert.

In front was the Sword Qi cut by the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

He was preparing to repeat his old trick, trying once more to use the “Climbing The Clouds Ladder” to rush into the sky to dodge this dreadful Sword Qi.

But there were fireflies appearing above his head too, scaring him from daring to evade upward anymore.

Otherwise, if he bumped into them, that would be a tragedy.

With no other choice, Gongsun Jin had to wave his Judge’s Pen to block the attacking Sword Qi with all his might.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions sounded, Gongsun Jin’s robes were completely tattered, looking like a beggar’s outfit, with streaks of blood on his face and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He was also staggering, extremely disheveled.

He had caught that Sword Qi strike, but he had sustained serious injuries.

“Brother Qin Niu, hurry up!”

Gongsun Jin’s voice was sharp, already carrying a hint of crying.

Of course, at his level, crying like a woman was out of the question.

But facing the threat of death, his heart was undoubtedly in a panic.

“I can only do my best; please don’t place all your hopes on me.”

Qin Niu did not dare to make such a guarantee.

The Green Ring Worker Bees he sent out had already flown behind a firefly, directly attacking it.

Half a foot away from the firefly, his Green Ring Worker Bee silently tumbled from the air to the ground.

Before it even hit the ground, the Green Ring Worker Bee was dead.

“Such a powerful firefly! Could these fireflies also have Mental Attacks?”

Qin Niu’s Termite had both Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants.

One kind could perform Spirit Control and the other kind could perform Mental Attacks.

So, Qin Niu’s first thought was whether these fireflies also possessed such attack methods.

His Green Ring Worker Bee did not even come into contact with the opponent and was directly killed; what else could it be besides a Mental Attack?

“Fourth, take the ant swarm and attack one of the fireflies to test it.”

Qin Niu approached one of the fireflies, allowing the Termite to launch a Mental Attack.

Surprisingly, Fourth easily succeeded.

The firefly immediately obediently flew towards Qin Niu.

This indicated that Mental Attacks were effective against them.

Once it flew close, Qin Niu carefully observed this firefly and could see black patterns on its body, forming two strange runes.

To be precise, there were at least three strange runes on it.

Because there seemed to be patterns on its head as well, but since its head was so small, Qin Niu did not dare to get closer to observe.

From two meters away, he could only see some blurry patterns.

“Go!”

Qin Niu sent another Green Ring Worker Bee towards the controlled firefly.

Only to see the Green Ring Worker Bee flying to about half a foot from it, the same scenario played out, silently falling from the sky.

Keep in mind, this firefly was already under the control of Fourth.

It definitely couldn’t have launched an attack against Qin Niu’s Green Ring Worker Bee on its own, yet the second Green Ring Worker Bee was still killed. This indicated that the fireflies possessed a natural automatic defense mechanism.

Because this time it was much closer, Qin Niu saw more clearly that before the Green Ring Worker Bee fell, its head had emitted a faint ghostly light.

Could it be that the death of the Green Ring Worker Bee was not due to a Mental Attack, but it was hit by the firefly’s Soul Devouring Nether Flame?

That was very likely the case.

It approached within half a foot of the firefly, its faint spirit ignited, which was the true cause of its sudden death.
