Chapter 441: Chapter 433 This Kid is Not Simple_1

“`

Wu Shanle was very “caring” towards him, intending to deal with Qin Niu as quickly as possible. He also wanted to assert his authority in front of Master He Shan.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without a fight; to attack the mind is the key.

He wanted Master He Shan to feel the fear of death and thus become timid. That way, he could kill Master He Shan more easily.

After all, at Master He Shan’s level, every aspect of his strength was formidable.

In a bloody battle, even if Elder Wu Shanle could kill him, he would have to pay a heavy price.

This is why many experts of similar strength prefer to intimidate their opponents in combat. Whoever shows signs of fear first is almost certain to lose.

A swarm of terrifying Buffalo Midges instantly appeared in front of Qin Niu.

They flew around Qin Niu, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Once reaching the Innate Realm, as long as one’s cultivation is a bit stronger, one would generally possess certain defensive capabilities all over the body. It is not like in the Mortal Realm or Acquired Realm, where the body hardly has any defensive capacity.

Faced with these Buffalo Midges, Qin Niu couldn’t afford to be careless.

He stimulated his inner strength to display a thin layer of energy armor on the surface of his body by using the King Pig Leather Armor.

Besides the energy armor defense, his body was covered by densely packed Termite-made Insect Armor, with Fourth being the commander of the Termites.

To deal with these agile Buffalo Midges, the simplest and most effective method was a Mental Attack.

Buffalo Midges, after being subjected to either Mental Attacks or Spirit Control, would either fall directly to the ground or “just happen” to fly in front of Qin Niu, who would then chop them down with a single slice. The originally fierce and agile Buffalo Midges became like fools in front of Qin Niu.

For the time being, Qin Niu didn’t have the Termites control the Buffalo Midges to counterattack.

Because he didn’t want to reveal too much.

Anyone who could become an elder of the Nine Insect Gang would definitely have some trump cards. Elder Wu Shanle’s cultivation seemed to be at the early stage of the Spirit Qi Realm, much weaker than Vice City Lord Bai.

And still weaker compared to Elder Jiu Yin.

Elder Wu Shanle could probably be one of the weaker among the seven Great Elders of the Nine Insect Gang.

Qin Niu had dealt with many high-ranking members of the Nine Insect Gang.

Elders, Executors, Disciples – he had experienced them all. The minimum requirement for an Elder’s cultivation was the Spirit Qi Realm.

All the Nine Insect Gang Elders he had met so far were of the Spirit Qi Realm.

Elders such as Elder Jiu Yin and Elder Mei were very strong, likely to be at the Middle Stage of the Spirit Qi Realm or above. Their strength as Insect Masters was not the core of their fighting power.

Their Insect Pets were.

Elder Wu Shanle was no exception. With an early Spirit Qi Realm cultivation daring to be so arrogant, he must possess some formidable insects.

If Elder Wu Shanle learned now that Qin Niu could control other people’s insects, he would definitely be on guard. It would not be so easy for Qin Niu to eradicate his trump card Insect Pets later on.

“Damn bastard, you’ve killed so many of my Buffalo Midges in an instant, I underestimated you.”

Elder Wu Shanle’s hundred-plus Buffalo Midges couldn’t stir up any big waves and were quietly wiped out by Qin Niu in a very short time.

To Qin Niu, this was just a warm-up before the battle.

He had revealed at most one-tenth of his strength.

Pets like Shadow Fire Bee, Green Demon Bee, Red-eyed Golden Toad hadn’t even made a move yet.

“People who are short always see everything as larger. These Buffalo Midges are as weak as you, I advise you not to show any more insects, lest you continue to embarrass yourself.”

Qin Niu said with a faint smile and a taunting tone.

“Whoo… you’re really making me furious!”

Elder Wu Shanle focused his main energy on Qin Niu, which made things much easier for Master He Shan. He took the opportunity to control his praying mantis to counterattack, and he made quite some gains, too.

Those Golden Armored Centipedes also made their way to the feet of Elder Wu Shanle.

“`

Being bitten by them would definitely result in severe poisoning.

Centipedes are one of the five poisons, and even an ordinary centipede is extremely toxic, let alone these Golden Armored Centipedes that have been cultivated and evolved over a long time.

After the Golden Armored Centipedes reached Elder Wu Shanle, he acted as if he didn’t see them, still focusing on fighting Qin Niu.

At that moment, a Golden Armored Centipede suddenly launched an attack.

It swiftly climbed up Elder Wu Shanle’s leg.

Wu Shanle might look short, but he wore tall battle boots. These were also the kind of boots most people preferred to wear.

Only the farmers who tilled the fields and the woodcutters who went up the mountains would wear straw sandals or short shoes.

Who among those with a bit of status did not wear tall boots?

Even some farmers would wear a pair of tall boots to others’ weddings, birthday feasts, or for important occasions like the New Year when visiting relatives.

Of course, for the average farmer, tall boots were quite expensive, and they definitely could not afford to wear them on a daily basis.

A pair of tall boots could last someone a lifetime.

Those from poorer families might even pass their tall boots to their sons when they grow old.

It could only be said that the lives of the poor were incomprehensible to the rich.

The wealthy might change their tall boots several times a year, whether it’s because new styles came out, or they felt the old ones had become slightly worn, or they’d been worn too many times to important occasions, those could all be reasons to change boots.

The Golden Armored Centipede, more than half a foot long, was incredibly agile. After it climbed onto Elder Wu Shanle’s boot, it quickly started to burrow into Wu Shanle’s boot.

Strangely enough, after the Golden Armored Centipede burrowed inside, there was no further movement.

Elder Wu Shanle went on as if nothing happened, seemingly unaffected.

Master He Shan’s face slightly changed.

“Wu Shanle, what is hiding in your boots? My Golden Armored Centipedes may not be very powerful, but to be able to kill one instantly, it’s not something ordinary that could do this,” he said.

Master He Shan’s cultivation was at the peak of the Innate Realm, just a little shy of the Spirit Qi Realm.

Yet, that slight difference made him lack any confidence in front of a strong practitioner of the Spirit Qi Realm.

The gap of a whole realm could make the combat power between two people vastly different.

Now, in the insect battle, Master He Shan was also falling behind, which was worrying.

“Fool, how could I possibly tell you!” Elder Wu Shanle cursed, his eyes, a murky yellow like those of a toad, shifting back to Qin Niu.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but feel there was something eerie about the old man’s smile, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

Large swarms of poisonous midges had reached him, but they were nothing more than food for delivery. No matter how many came, they would just end up as food for the termites.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Niu’s termites had annihilated the majority of the hundred thousand or so poisonous midges.

The rest flapped their wings and fled, not daring to come closer.

Even if they did not dare approach Qin Niu any longer, as long as they were within about twenty or thirty meters, they still could not escape the mental attacks of the termites.

The mental attack range of the Grade Two Puppet Ants and Ghost Ants was about ten meters.

Now, the powerful Puppet Ants had reached Grade Six, like Fourth. The weaker ones were basically Grade Three or Four.

Their effective attack range was generally over twenty meters.

Some of the more powerful ones could even attack targets more than fifty meters away.

The poisonous midges that escaped to beyond twenty meters thought they were safe this time. However, midges continued to be hit by mental attacks and then fell to the ground, struggling in pain.
