Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Chapter 438: Instant Kill Spirit Qi Realm_1 (2/2)

The two brothers, along with some of the surrounding warriors, let out screams of agony.

In this moment of peril, Iron Tiger desperately threw himself in front of Ye Ji, using his massive body to shield her.

The power of Wu Shanle Elder’s self-detonated weapon was truly terrifying.

Qin Niu felt ‘steel needles’ fiercely slamming into his qi armor, creating cracks all over it.

Luckily, in this critical moment, the Red-eyed Golden Toad activated its Qi Wave Defense.

Croak!

A ring of qi waves blocked some of the incoming ‘steel needles,’ or significantly reduced their destructive force.

It was due to this that Qin Niu’s qi armor remained unbroken.

The steel needles fell to the ground, some turning directly into powder.

They were actually made of the same material as the long whip.

In the moment of detonation, they broke into countless filaments, each one or two inches long. These filaments, carrying terrifying destructive power, attacked indiscriminately like steel needles against all nearby targets.

This included warriors and Insect Masters of the Nine Insect Gang, anyone close suffered the consequences.

The two brothers who were fighting Wu Shanle Elder were the closest.

Both lay on the ground, seemingly with very serious injuries.

Since Ye Ji was shielded by Iron Tiger, she was not injured.

She looked at Iron Tiger with a complex gaze, filled with gratitude but largely overshadowed by helplessness.

“Iron Tiger, you didn’t really need to protect me,” Ye Ji said in a faint voice.

“I was afraid you’d get hurt!” Iron Tiger replied with a naive smile.

After his weapon self-destructed, Wu Shanle Elder’s body wobbled unsteadily. He leapt up, attempting to flee, but ultimately collapsed to the ground.

Qin Niu, wary of Wu Shanle Elder’s potential dying counterattack, did not dare to approach immediately.

After a moment, as Wu Shanle Elder still lay motionless, Qin Niu sent a Termite forward to check and control. He found that the man was already dead.

The Deicide Poison of the Green Demon Bee was just too dreadful.

It killed a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse in less than fifteen minutes.

This was a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse, after all.

Not long ago, even though Qin Niu had reached Dual Innate Realm cultivation, he still might not have been able to defeat such an opponent, even one gravely injured.

He almost got killed himself when he fought Elder Mei.

But now, he merely needed his Green Demon Bee to act, and the enemy was dead in a single encounter.

The drastic improvement in the strength of his Insect Pet made him feel somewhat unreal.

Unknowingly, the strength of his Insect Pet and Beast Pet had reached the level where they could easily slaughter Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses, or even Immortal Masters.

“With such strong pets, I, as their master, need to work harder!”

Qin Niu felt a sense of pressure.

While it’s great to have strong pets, it’s certainly not normal for them to be vastly stronger than their master.

Using Misty Rain Elusive Step, he instantly approached Wu Shanle Elder’s corpse, and without a word, he swung down a hand and decapitated him.

He was mainly concerned about the possibility of feigned death.

Once the head was severed and the body still showed no reaction, he felt relieved.

Familiar with the process, he began to search for loot with practiced ease.

There was no shame in it.

This was an elder of the Nine Insect Gang, so he was bound to have something valuable on him.

Qin Niu was not short of silver notes now; what he lacked were high-level Insect Control Techniques.

Although Wu Shanle Elder was the weakest of the Nine Insect Gang’s elders, his bee array greatly interested Qin Niu. If he could find the elder’s records on breeding insects, he might learn something from them.

Soon, all the spoils were thoroughly looted by him.

Among them, a yellowed jade slip accelerated Qin Niu’s heartbeat.

Nine times out of ten, it was something good.

But with many eyes around, he certainly wasn’t foolish enough to take out the jade slip to study it right then and there.

Good things must be kept hidden and protected.
