Snakes with crowns or horns on their heads are mostly highly venomous and often belong to exotic species.
When Qin Niu swung his blade, he executed a Slash Martial Skill.
However, he deliberately held back and did not fully reveal his strength at the Innate Realm.
The small snake appeared to be only as thick as a finger and half a foot long, but it was extremely agile. Faced with Qin Niu’s slash, it twisted its body and deftly dodged the blow.
Qin Niu was unconcerned about this.
He had heard a noise from Xie Laizi’s room just now, and now this odd little snake had emerged to attack him, suggesting that there was likely someone hiding in the room.
Moreover, it was highly probable that this person was here to kill him.
Insect Masters had been falling victim to assassinations lately, and it was very likely that Qin Niu was being targeted.
Why would the Nine Insect Gang, which specializes in insect control, go to such lengths to kill an Insect Master from the Black Tiger Gang?
This action was quite puzzling.
If it was merely to render the locust plague uncontrollable, they should have targeted the Insect Masters before the plague began, not wait until now.
Watching the black little snake that had dodged his slash now lunging to bite again, Qin Niu decided to test out the strength of the Termite.
Since the enemy in the room had not yet shown themselves, it was best to avoid exposing his own cultivation level and strength as much as possible.
Then, at the critical moment, he would play his trump cards one after another and kill the enemy with the force of thunder.
A lion must use all its strength even when hunting a rabbit.
This way, he could ensure to the greatest extent that he wouldn’t capsize the boat.
“Fourth, lead the ant swarm to attack this small snake.”
In recent days, Qin Niu had been maintaining a relaxed exterior while remaining vigilant on the inside.
It seemed as if he was going about his usual business every day, but in fact, he always carried a large number of white ants on his body.
When going out, the Golden Toad would certainly be carried in a basket.
The grade of this small snake could not be determined.
So, he could only let the white ants give it a try.
As the ant swarm launched a Mental Attack, the little snake’s attack speed significantly slowed down.
It moved on the ground as if it were drunk.
Seeing such an opportunity, Qin Niu naturally did not let it slip away. With a swift motion of his hand and drop of his blade, he slashed at the snake’s body.
Surprisingly, a metallic clang sounded.
What formidable defensive strength.
“Die!”
Qin Niu utilized a trace of his strength to empower the Ink Blade, and terrifying Blade Qi instantly broke through the little snake’s tough scales and severed it in two.
Even beheaded, the creature still seemed extremely fierce.
Its snake head sprang up trying to bite.
It was blocked by Qin Niu’s King Pig Leather Armor.
He didn’t know any defensive blade techniques and could only perform the two most basic martial skills, the Slash and the Sweeping Strike.
Following the beheading of the little snake, a muffled groan came from Xie Laizi’s room.
Immediately afterward, a figure shot out from inside.
A towering murderous aura solidified as if tangible.
The person who emerged was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and fierce, triangular eyes filled with violence and resentment, his face twisted to the point of ferocity.
“You deserve to die! Killing my Crow-Crowned Bow Snake, our grudge is irreconcilable. Even if I grind your bones to dust and scatter them, it still wouldn’t quell the hatred in my heart.”
The man held a slim narrow sword, and his movement technique was quite similar to that of the deceased Old Master Huang, indicating that they both practiced the same type of Step-Method Martial Skill. This man’s identity was also basically confirmed as a member of the Nine Insect Gang.
Isn’t the Nine Insect Gang supposed to specialize in rearing insects?
Why does everyone seem to like taming beasts?
The most powerful pet of Old Master Huang turned out to be the Red-eyed Golden Toad, not the Corpse Bee Queen. Although he never managed to tame the Golden Toad, he essentially achieved the effect of having it as a pet by controlling it through insects.
This man’s pet was the little snake that had been killed.
It was called the Crow-Crowned Bow Snake.
Seeing the man’s fierce expression, as if his parents had been killed and his wife violated, Qin Niu secretly guessed that killing that little snake had already dealt a certain blow to the man’s spirit.
Looking at his speed and momentum, it was clear that his cultivation level was not as high as Old Master Huang’s.
At most, it was around the sixth or seventh level of the Houtian stage, far from the Innate Realm.
“Xiao Qing, get out of here first.”
Qin Niu signaled to Xiao Qing and then ‘desperately’ ran towards the direction of the mountains.
“With that speed, you think you can escape? Leave your life behind.”
From the moment the small snake was killed, the middle-aged man had lost his sanity, his heart filled with hatred.
His judgment and observation were not as good as usual.
He completely failed to realize that Qin Niu was deliberately luring him to fight to the death.
The most formidable thing about an Insect Master should not be their cultivation level or martial skills, but the insects they raise.
At this moment, the middle-aged man made a fatal mistake, actually thinking of engaging Qin Niu in hand-to-hand combat.
Merely three or four breaths of time passed before he caught up with Qin Niu using his superior movement technique.
His heart swelled with even greater pride.
The enemy was right in front of him; naturally, the best thing to do was to kill him and then rejoice.
His hand-sword turned into specks of cold stars, enveloping several vital points of Qin Niu’s body.
“Slash!”
At this critical moment, Qin Niu did not hesitate at all, swinging his Ink Blade directly at the middle-aged man who blocked his path.
He no longer concealed his cultivation level.
With full strength activated, the blade of the Ink Blade showed a solid looking Blade Qi, three to four inches long.
This was his true power.
Bang!
Their swords clashed, and the opponent’s narrow sword broke into several pieces.
Qin Niu’s Ink Blade, undiminished in momentum, struck fiercely and quickly on the top of the middle-aged man’s head.
It split him straight to the bottom.
Directly cleaving the man in two.
His death was no different from Old Master Huang’s.
“To think such a trashy cultivation level could attempt to kill an Innate Realm expert wearing a King Pig Leather Armor? What a joke.”
