Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Chapter 415 Bug Cloud _1 (2/2)

Qin Niu had an indifferent expression like someone watching a fire from across the river, which infuriated Ye Ji to no end.

“Master Qin, I never thought you would be such a person! The front lines are about to be overrun, yet you’re not in any hurry and keep delaying. To put it bluntly, you’re just afraid of death, aren’t you? I’ve said it before, if there’s real danger, I’d sacrifice my life to ensure your safe retreat. If you keep dawdling, don’t blame me for looking down on you.”

Ye Ji was extremely angry.

The slight fondness and respect she had recently started to feel for Qin Niu vanished completely.

In the face of life and death, one’s true nature is most evident.

“It’s fine, you can just look down on me,” he said.

Unmoved, Qin Niu even climbed a tree to continue observing the swarm of insects.

The number of bugs in the sky was vast, and because they were far away, it was hard to make out what kind of insects they were.

They fluttered under the bright sun in the sky, circling non-stop.

Ye Ji was so furious that her teeth gnashed loudly, and her fists were so tightly clenched they seemed to wring out water, yet she was helpless against Qin Niu.

If someone doesn’t want to go, you can’t exactly tie them up and force them, can you?

She looked up at Qin Niu on the tree, flames of anger shooting from her eyes.

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll have no choice but to offend you.”

Ye Ji waited a while longer, but seeing that he still had no intention of heading to the front line, she understood clearly that Master Qin had no plans to support the front line at all.

Qin Niu ignored her, focusing instead on the swarm of insects in the sky.

Without saying a second word and with anger pent up inside, she leapt toward the tree intending to subdue Qin Niu with force.

Generally, even if an Insect Master reaches the Innate Realm, their combat strength is often weak.

As the close attendant of the Gang Leader, Ye Ji had exceptional combat ability. She was a ‘fighter jet’ among those in the Innate Realm, the elite of the elite.

Moreover, her cultivation level was a small realm higher than Qin Niu’s.

She was now in the Later Stage of the Innate Realm, while Qin Niu only had mid-stage Innate Realm cultivation. She was confident she could take Qin Niu down in one move and subdue him immediately.

Then, she would forcibly take him to the front line.

But as soon as she got close to Qin Niu, still about three meters away, she immediately felt an extremely intense threat of death.

A Green Demon Bee suddenly flew in front of her, lunging at her.

Its speed was so fast that it reached her ear in a flash. At the same time, as she heard the sound of the Green Demon Bee’s wings vibrating, her head felt dizzy and extremely irritated.

“Not good, this is a sonic attack.”

With her extensive combat experience, Ye Ji immediately realized this was a sonic attack from the mutant bee.

She quickly displayed an aura armor on her body and swung a Short Sword in defense.

Regrettably, her speed was much slower than the Green Demon Bee’s.

Before she could swing her Short Sword to cut down the Green Demon Bee, it had effortlessly pierced through her aura armor, lightly scratched her face, and then flew back to Qin Niu’s side.

Ye Ji’s face turned deathly pale, and her back was drenched in cold sweat.

If the bee had intended to harm her, she probably would have been stung already.

Not wanting to accept this defeat, as she had never suffered such a loss since her debut, she gritted her teeth and, with sword in hand, moved to launch another attack on Qin Niu.

“Still want to fight?”

Qin Niu turned to look at her, his eyes showing a hint of pity and a mocking attitude that drove her mad.

She felt utterly ashamed, having been bested by an insect.

Her supposed strength proved powerless in front of the ugly green mutant bee, and the outcome was decided in an instant.

Her aura armor seemed utterly useless in front of the Green Demon Bee.

This mutant bee was terrifying.
