Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: Chapter 256 Taiyin Yaoyao 1 (2/2)

Just as he said, the cockroaches were afraid of fire.

Most insects fear fire.

“Elder Jiu Yin’s Taiyin Yaoyao number nine in total, and we’ve only seen eight so far. Be careful of the most formidable one that has yet to appear,” Master He Shan was already having a hard time dealing with seven of them.

The battle was at a stalemate.

For now, it seemed Master He Shan would be able to protect himself.

But killing these Taiyin Yaoyao seemed almost impossible.

If he had a powerful method, he certainly wouldn’t let them rampage unchecked.

Several bodyguards had already charged next to Master He Shan from under the attack of the bloodsucking leeches, helping him deal with the seven cockroaches.

All of them followed suit, lighting torches.

“All…”

Another bodyguard was attacked by a cockroach, this time bitten on the back of his hand.

The enormous cockroach clamped onto the back of the right hand of this new soldier who was holding the torch, and then immediately began to frenziedly gnaw at the flesh.

Crack crack!

Flesh was sent flying in a gruesomely bloody scene, chilling to the core.

“You’re no match for the Taiyin Yaoyao. Don’t worry about me. Immediately make your way to the moored battle ships ahead and set those vessels ablaze. As long as we destroy those ships, we will cut off the enemy’s retreat and win half the battle,” Master He Shan, seeing the bodyguards could only act as fodder, quickly ordered them to burn the ships.

If the ships for crossing the river were lost, the crossing enemy army, learning their retreat was cut off, would certainly plunge into chaos.

Don’t think it’s just the Tianshui River; even for those in the Acquired Realm, it’s hardly easy to cross.

Not everyone in the army can swim, and without ships, the enemy will find themselves in a very passive situation.

Strategically, as long as we successfully burn the enemy’s ships, we’ll have won half the battle.

Upon hearing Master He Shan’s orders, a crowd of bodyguards rushed toward the dock where the ships were moored.

Qin Niu had already reached the side of the Innate Realm expert with his face bitten.

This fellow was covering his face, awkwardly fending off the continually attacking cockroaches.

Merely one Taiyin Yaoyao had the expert from the Innate Realm almost powerless to fight back.

“Fourth, time to get to work!”

Qin Niu had the protection of a Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad, various methods of his own, and the King Pig Leather Armor, leaving him truly fearless in the fight against this Taiyin Yaoyao.

Fourth’s antennae targeted the elusive Taiyin Yaoyao, while the other puppet ants followed suit, launching a spirit control assault.

Including a legion of demon ants, they all looked to Fourth as their leader.

They simply couldn’t beat Fourth.

In nature, the strong are revered, such is the natural law.

“It’s too strong!”

Fourth’s spirit control was hardly effective, after all, it was only Grade Four.

The Taiyin Yaoyao they faced was likely Grade Seven.

Fourth leading the ant army against a Grade Six insect was almost at its limit; facing a Grade Seven was still somewhat forced.

“Ghost ants, launch a mental attack.”

Qin Niu decided to go for a two-pronged approach.

This time, it seemed to take effect.

The Taiyin Yaoyao, under mental attack, immediately charged toward Qin Niu in anger.

“Here comes the delivery!”

Qin Niu’s face was indifferent as he swung the Ink Blade swiftly in a slashing motion.

No need for any fancy moves, just the most straightforward slash.

Blade Qi instantly cleaved the cockroach in two.

Even split into halves, they remained ferocious, attacking Qin Niu once more.

“Wart Toad, take action!”

Qin Niu was well-prepared with several plans to deal with these Taiyin Yaoyao.
