Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 183: Not Afraid You Won’t Take the Bait_l (2/2)

Regardless of the damage to his soul, he gritted his teeth and unleashed his strongest cultivation, revealing a rather impressive step technique.

This was a Step-Method Martial Skill.

Once reaching minor proficiency, one could become as light as a swallow, walk on waves, and climb walls as if flying.

Qin Niu sought longevity with all his heart, and since he didn’t have much Silver Money, he hadn’t considered buying a Step-Method Martial Skill to study.

Step-Method Martial Skills were also the most expensive category among all martial skills.

Sword techniques, boxing techniques, blade techniques, they could kill enemies and were offensive martial skills.

However, Step-Method Martial Skills could make a person’s movements flexible, allowing one to advance or retreat with ease and secure an unbeatable position.

If they couldn’t defeat their opponent, they could simply use their Step- Method Martial Skill to escape with their lives.

Old Master Huang demonstrated an extremely sophisticated Step-Method Martial Skill, his figure turned into a wisp of light smoke, chasing Qin Niu with a terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, he was right behind him.

Qin Niu made a feint while running away.

His body swayed to the right side, but in reality, he did not move to the right.

That was because he had been running along the edge of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze, intending to trap Old Master Huang inside.

At this moment, Old Master Huang was like a madman, his eyes fixed only on the Queen Bee he was about to crush to death, and in his mind, he only thought of saving the two Queen Bees with the most cutting measures. Seeing Qin Niu’s figure swaying to the right, he thought Qin Niu was trying to escape into the bushes on the right.

As a result, he made a wrong judgment.

He stepped into the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Qin Niu noticed that the formidable enemy behind him had disappeared, and a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Finally got this powerful enemy trapped.”

He looked at the sky, which had yet to break dawn.

The inside of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze should still be in an extremely dangerous state; most creatures that entered were more likely to die than to survive.

“Fourth, hurry up and lead the ant troops to control five Corpse Bees, let them fight among themselves. The Soldier Ants are to assist, using Mental Attacks against the Corpse Bees that are not under control,” Qin Niu ordered strategically.

With Old Master Huang gone, these Corps Bees had become utterly disorganized.

“The Queen Bee should be on Old Master Huang,” he concluded.

Because before Old Master Huang was trapped in the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree, the Corpse Bees showed a high degree of cohesion, advancing and retreating in an orderly fashion.

Normally, even without Old Master Huang, if the Queen Bee were present, they would not become as disorganized as they were.

For bee swarms and ant colonies, what truly bound them together was not the master who contracted them, but their Queen Bee or Ant Queen.

“Perfect time to give Old Master Huang another ‘gift’,” Qin Niu said coldly, brandishing his blade and slashing at the attacking Corpse Bees.

He was not afraid of these ordinary Corpse Bees since he was protected by King Pig Leather Armor.

Under his power, a large green Light Cocoon protected him well.

Even if the Corpse Bees managed to break through this cocoon, there was still the thick King Pig Leather Armor beneath.

In fact, they couldn’t even penetrate the Light Cocoon.

Only those three Queen Bees constituted some threat to Qin Niu.

Under the power he channeled, the dazzling Blade Qi became manifest.

A Sweeping Strike hit the three Corpse Bees.

They were instantly Ruptured by the fierce Blade Qi, cleaved into two and fell to the ground, where they struggled and died.

Trapped in the maze, Old Master Huang must have spat blood again, sustaining another blow to his spirit.

For Old Master Huang, who needed to fend off the attack of the Ancient Banyan Tree, this was truly adding insult to injury.

He was likely cursing in his heart, sending regards to Qin Niu’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

“The Group Killing effect is not bad!” Qin Niu noted.

He had just learned the Sweeping Martial Technique not long ago and hadn’t practiced it much.

Being able to kill three Corpse Bees with one strike was already very good for him.

Once this martial technique advanced to proficiency, or even to the point of minor achievement, its true power would start to show.

Outside, he went on a killing spree, massacring these Corpse Bees frantically.

In less than two quarters of an hour, he had killed all ninety-two Corpse Bees.

He filled half a basket full.

After getting rid of the Corpse Bees, dawn was starting to break.

There were a few injured Corpse Bees on the ground, which he killed one by one.

He approached the woman who lay on the ground motionless with caution; she had long since stopped breathing.

It seemed very likely she was dead.

Using the Ink Blade, he prodded her a bit, finding her body already beginning to stiffen.

Dark blood was seeping out from under her mask, pooling on the ground in a small puddle.

The woman’s figure was very petite, not exceeding one meter forty at most.

With his blade, he lifted her mask.

“Air…”

Qin Niu couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, the face revealed was extremely terrifying, uglier than a ghost, and even more frightening.

Her eyes bulged, more white than black; her nose seemed as if it had collapsed, leaving just a tiny bit.

Her skin resembled old tree bark, full of creases.

It was brown, not the yellow that normal humans should possess.

From the curves of her chest and the flatness of her throat, it could be deduced that this was a woman.

“She must have been poisoned to death by the Corpse Bees,” Qin Niu guessed.

His understanding of the Corpse Bees’ potency deepened anew.

If stung by them, one’s fate would probably not be much different from that of the dead woman.

In front of the woman were two Corpse Bees that had been killed.

He unapologetically collected their corpses.

These were good things.
