Chapter 198: Devil Needles Showing Might, Gang Qi Being Ferocious

The insect cloud above the inn began to fade. Meanwhile, the tiny insect carcasses in the room had stacked up to Junior Leopard's knees. Only the place where Junior Leopard was standing was not affected due to the green light's cover.
”What a weird bead!” Junior Leopard, who had fully recovered his mind, looked at the scene in his room and marveled privately. It never occurred to him that when he got the bead, it could cause such a stir.
Moreover, it was so fantastic as well.
The green light around him did not lighten anymore, but the amount of toxins the bead absorbed was far from its limit.
Junior Leopard used his divine thoughts to sense that though these toxins now almost filled the whole bead, there was always a tiny bit of unfilled space. Moreover, that tiny bit of unfilled space was absorbed by this Emerald Pearl, which Junior Leopard saw carefully.
The more toxins that the Emerald Pearl absorbed, the greener it became.
”It's almost over. The guys outside should be ready to do it!” Sensing that the bead absorbed more and more toxins and that there were more and more insect carcasses, with a slight movement of his sleeve, Junior Leopard had taken out the 49 Demon Devil Needles.
The cultivation of the four people outside was good. There were two Level Six masters and the worst was a Level Four master. As for the last person, Junior Leopard could only feel his spirit and could not detect his cultivation, but he was at least a Level Seven expert.
Although Junior Leopard was arrogant, he never thought that he would be at an advantage over such an excellent team with so many masters.
However, honestly, he didn't worry too much, because he had the Three Realms Division, which was an incredible special technique. Even if he could not beat them, he could run away.
With the Three Realms Division and the Yanfu Inner Strength, he would have the chance to run away, even if he encountered a Level Nine expert.
Was there any Level Nine expert in the small South Yuezhou State?
Junior Leopard would never believe this.
When the last ray of the poison gas was absorbed by the Detoxicating Bead, Junior Leopard subconsciously opened his mouth and then the bead flew into his mouth. Oddly enough, after entering his mouth, the bead disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, in the mysterious space between his eyes, a green bead appeared just below the eyeball in the middle of the air, one big and one small, adding radiance and beauty to each other.
Exhaling a long breath, instead of staying in this mysterious space, since he felt that the four outside had come in, Junior Leopard returned his divine thoughts to his body.
They moved cautiously, with the two Level Six masters in front and the Level Four master along with the mysterious expert behind. They walked straight to Junior Leopard's room and stopped.
”May I ask who's in the room? I'm Ruan Xiuwen from the Governor Mansion of Yuezhou, begging for an audience!”
At the front of the room, Ruan Xiuwen asked in a clear loud voice, cupping his hands.
”Ruan Xiuwen?” Junior Leopard focused his gaze on a single point. He had heard the name. Ruan Xiuwen was the legitimate son of the Governor in Yuezhou, and one of the celebrities of the younger generation. It was heard that he was practicing under a mysterious expert in South China and that his cultivation had reached Level Four.
”Is the mysterious expert outside the door his teacher?” Junior Leopard considered in his heart. ”It's Young Master Ruan. What does Young Master Ruan want to see me about?”
His voice was calm and neutral with a trace of cold as if he was dismissive of this Young Master who was a bully and was a great deterrent in South Yuezhou State.
A chill flash pasted Ruan Xiuwen's eyes, ”You just caused an anomaly in the inn. How can I turn a blind eye to it?”
”Now the anomaly has gone, so you can go!” It was the same kind of cold, repellent tone.
”How dare you?”
The two Level Six masters in front rebuked with one voice, and one of them entered the room.
The door and windows had been destroyed by the endless insects and the room's status was obscured by a thick layer of insect carcasses. At this point, the insect carcasses in the room had already piled up to shoulder height. The four men stood outside looking at the insect carcasses, all with a dark expression, except for the old man.
As the Level Six master that entered the door fiercely stepped forward, his Internal Qi was galloping like a wild wind that swept the insect carcasses in front of him to two sides.
From this process, you could see his strong control of Internal Qi. In common places, the wind must blow up the sand, however, the Internal Qi under his control did not raise a little bit of the surrounding insect carcasses that were tinier than dust, but rather simply moved them toward both sides. In the blink of an eye, a passageway was swept out.
Almost at the same time, the grey-clothed old man suddenly moved like lightning and darted toward the room.
Junior Leopard just sneered, and with a wave of his sleeve, the 49 Demon Devil Needles shot towards the old man.
”Oh, no!” With the help and protection of the Gang Qi, the old man moved fast and didn't care much about Junior Leopard. Only when the 49 Demon Devil Needles shot at his Gang Qi did he then begin to react. His expression instantly grew dark.
Gang Qi was a unique skill of attack and defense. Once your cultivation reached Level Seven and you had condensed Gang Qi, ordinary weapons couldn't harm you. It was not an exaggeration to say that you were invulnerable. Even if thousands of armies surrounded you tightly, ordinary weapons could not break the Gang Qi's defense. It would not be easy to kill thousands of soldiers in order to win, but it would be easy to get rid of the battle array and kill the general.
Therefore, once your Gang Qi had condensed, when you face an expert whose cultivation was under Level Seven, you were almost invincible. It was just because of this reason that the grey-robed old man circulated his Gang Qi and undauntedly rushed towards Junior Leopard.
He rushed until his Gang Qi came into contact with the Demon Devil Needles. Feeling the insidious maliciousness burst out from the needles, his body suddenly froze in the air and then he shouted with a low voice, which almost used all his strength. His body huddled up and he summoned the biggest defense function of Gang Qi, barely blocking the 49 Demon Devil Needles. However, they were not completely blocked and the Demon Devil Needles were still firmly on their way towards his Gang Qi, which had condensed so much that they almost become a substance.
”Come on, do it. Kill him! Be careful of his needle-shaped celestial device!” The grey-robed old man hissed. He knew it was the best chance.
He was caught flat-footed by Junior Leopard, and likewise, Junior Leopard's Demon Devil Needles were trapped by his Gang Qi. Although the Demon Devil Needles were very powerful and were still piercing through his Gang Qi, they could not cause any real injury to him for a short time. Their biggest advantage was their weight of numbers. As long as the other three people attacked him, Junior Leopard was bound to get caught up in a dilemma.
Junior Leopard was considering whether to continue to attack the old man with the Demon Devil Needles under the control of his divine thoughts or to be distracted and get entangled with the other three. Once he was entangled with them, he would not be able to control the Demon Devil Needles. Junior Leopard was not confident that he could handle two Level Six masters and a Level Four master easily. They were bound to get into a fight. By that time he would have no time to control the Demon Devil Needles. Then the needles would inevitably fall into the hands of the old man.
This was why the old man, even though his Gang Qi had not completely trapped Junior Leopard's needle-shaped celestial device, asked the three men to kill Junior Leopard.
It was a celestial device!
Who wouldn't want it?
In particular, these kinds of insidious celestial devices that could imperceptibly kill people. Once he refined them successfully, his strength would be more than doubled.
Therefore, when he discovered that Junior Leopard was using the Demon Devil Needles, he immediately wanted to seize them and no longer preserved his strength.
Hearing the old man's shout, the three masters, including Ruan Xiuwen, rushed in without thinking, straight at Junior Leopard.
”Hum!” Junior Leopard's expression suddenly changed. In a moment, he had understood the old man's intention. However, he was not a rookie that could be bullied by everyone. The old man only trapped 41 Demon Devil Needles, and he could use the rest of the eight needles, which were outside of the old man's Gang Qi, at will.
These eight Demon Devil Needles were the key to victory.
In such circumstances, Junior Leopard was naturally not hesitant. With a sharp wave of his sleeve, the Green Jade Qian Yuan Internal Qi in his External Elixir rolled up a whirlwind and a roomful of insect carcasses was blown up without the control of the airflow.
The whole room was shrouded when the insect carcasses, which were tinier than dust were blown about. Under its cover, the remaining eight Demon Devil Needles galloped off.
The three were not weak. As soon as they saw that Junior Leopard rolled up the insect carcasses, they thought of the old man's warning and they knew it was bad. They then immediately waved the weapons in their hands to tightly protect themselves.
There were a few tiny tinklings of gold iron collisions. Six Demon Devil Needles were bounced off of their weapons and were caught up in Junior Leopard's sleeve. The other two, however, went through the gaps of the weapons of the two Level Six masters and hit them in between the eyebrows directly.
This was the difference between a celestial device and a normal weapon. A celestial device could move with the will of its master. Even if it had left its master, it could be controlled at will by its master's divine thoughts, especially needle-shaped celestial devices like the Demon Devil Needles which were especially insidious.
The two men were the best among the Level Six masters, their cultivation was no lower than that of Junior Leopard's. However, faced with the uncanny needle-shaped celestial device, they were totally unable to fight back.
