Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 449: Chapter 441 Twin-tailed Red Fox_1

The moment the golden light struck her, she felt dizzy in her head.

What met her was Qin Niu’s merciless Ink Blade.

The terrifying Blade Qi ripped through all her defenses without any pity or hesitation, severing her neck with a single stroke.

As Qin Niu made his move, the Male Protector tried to entangle Qin Niu’s legs with the Red Iron Chains, a dark green afterimage shot out from Qin Niu’s body. It reached the Male Protector’s neck in an instant, before he could react, it broke through his defenses and stung him.

By the time the Male Protector realized he had been stung, the Green Demon Bee had already flown back to Qin Niu’s side.

This was its second kill, executed with even more proficiency than the last.

The movements were smoother and the speed even faster.

From the strike to its return, it was practically the blink of an eye. It took the concept of swift battle to the extreme.

Qin Niu struck successfully and quickly withdrew.

He always fought cautiously, always on guard against his enemy’s dying counterattack.

The lesson from Elder Wu Shanle’s self-destructing weapons that gravely injured the two brothers was still fresh; Qin Niu would not make the same mistake.

The Male Protector’s cultivation was not weak, possessing the peak cultivation of the Innate Realm, making his final strike immensely fearsome.

But hardly two seconds had passed since he was stung when a terrible black qi appeared on his neck, spreading rapidly to his face and shoulders.

Suddenly, the body of the Male Protector seemed to lose control, his movements becoming stiff.

“Such poison!”

He managed to squeeze out two words from deep in his throat, but the venom of the Green Demon Bee was too formidable, savagely ravaging his internal organs. Black blood began to flow from his nostrils and eyes.

He looked at Qin Niu with eyes full of bitterness, raising his hand to fling the Red Iron Chains in a last ditch effort, but he didn’t succeed.

His hand had only lifted halfway before his body fell to the ground.

Thump!

The life force of the Male Protector was swiftly extinguished.

Perhaps his cultivation level was one realm weaker than Elder Wu Shanle’s, which is why the venom acted faster, causing him to die sooner.

From the moment he was stung to the moment he died, it took only about seven or eight seconds.

The venom of the Green Demon Bee had reached a terrifying level, instantly sealing the throats of those it bled. Even a strong person from the Innate Realm would not have a chance to take a Detoxification Pill once stung.

In fact, even if they did take a Detoxification Pill, it would be useless.

The elders of the Nine Insects Gang, who were secretly watching the battle, were terrified by Qin Niu’s ability to instantly kill the Black and White Protectors with just one encounter, and none of them dared to face Qin Niu in combat.

Though they were vicious, they were not fools.

No one wanted to gamble with their lives.

Especially given the strangely powerful show of strength by Qin Niu, which was beyond their comprehension, their abnormal performance made them even more wary.

“Green Demon Bee? Since the fall of the Green Demon, this bee has disappeared for many years. Although some formidable Steel-winged Poison Bees were captured in the former territory of the Green Demon, they are far from the true Green Demon Bee.”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader was truly formidable, standing on the back of a Wolf Spider, she could engage in combat with the Black Tiger Gang Leader while taking the time to observe the fight between Qin Niu and the Black and White Protectors.

“Xue Qiuhe, I didn’t expect you to have cultivated such a powerful young Insect Master. Six months ago, the old territory of the Green Demon within my Nine Insects Gang’s borders suddenly collapsed. Some people saw a young man emerge with an Ice Lotus, which must be this Qin Niu who obtained the ultimate treasure of the Green Demon, right?”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader probed the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s response, trying to ascertain some facts.

Since the Green Demon’s former residence was in their territory, yet another had claimed the treasure, it left a sour taste in the mouth of the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

Watching Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee in action filled her with envy.

“There’s actually such a thing? I truly was not aware of that,” she responded.

Xue Qiuhe’s eyes flashed a hint of surprise at the news, but it quickly disappeared.

Connecting this with Qin Niu’s previous infiltration of the Nine Insects Gang and his killing of one of their camp commanders, only to return ten days later from a Shennong Sect crossing at Tian Shui, where he incidentally uncovered a conspiracy between the Nine Insects Gang and Shennong Sect to smuggle across Tianshui River, establishing a major achievement.

With the intelligence of the Black Tiger Gang Leader, linking the Green Demon Bees Qin Niu currently wielded to him, the Gang Leader immediately speculated that the person who obtained the ultimate treasure in the former lands of the Green Demon was very likely Qin Niu.

However, he was certain not to admit such a thing.

Having such an excellent Insect Master in the Black Tiger Gang was something he longed for and naturally needed to protect well.

“Stop playing dumb here, damn it! Is there anything you rotten scoundrel dare to admit? Just a despicable and shameless bastard!”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader cursed loudly.

Yet her gaze occasionally drifted towards Qin Niu.

After Qin Niu had killed the Black and White Protectors, he began searching for a new target. Those protectors and executors of the Nine Insects Gang had long been wary of Qin Niu.

After all, the ability to kill an elder of the Nine Insects Gang was enough to draw attention from the gang’s higher-ups.

Seeing the harbinger of doom, Qin Niu, approaching, they immediately retreated with their insects, with no intention of confronting Qin Niu head-on.

This retreat deepened the panic among the other experts of the Nine Insects Gang.

So much so that wherever Qin Niu went, he didn’t even need to lift a finger; the enemy fled in disarray.

In desperation, Qin Niu could only target one of the elders of the Nine Insects Gang.

Gongsun Jin, the Vice Gang Leader, had some acquaintance with Qin Niu.

When Qin Niu slaughtered the He Family’s Innate Realm expert in the city, violating the gang’s rules and the law, Gongsun insisted on absolving him of his crimes, even though he was influenced by the Black Tiger Gang Leader. This was also a favor to Qin Niu.

Later, during Qin Niu’s wedding, Gongsun Jin attended the celebration and gifted a thousand taels of silver.

At the moment, Gongsun Jin was locked in a fierce fight with one of the Nine Insects Gang’s elders.

Gongsun Jin’s beast pet was a very beautiful red fox with two tails. Everyone knew that the supreme among foxes was the Nine-Tailed Green Fox, but such beings had already surpassed ordinary Great Immortals.

Gongsun Jin was merely a Spirit Qi Realm expert, a far cry from a true immortal.

To own a Two-tailed Red Fox was already quite impressive.

Rumors said that multi-tailed foxes were among the finest in the fox kin, one in tens of thousands.

Foxes with multiple tails all possessed the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Fox and could become great demons after a thousand years of cultivation.

Gongsun Jin’s Two-tailed Red Fox had likely reached around Level Nine, sensing it was very close to becoming a demon.

Now, the Two-tailed Red Fox was engaged in an inseparable battle with an enemy Wolf Spider.

The Wolf Spider was as big as a rabbit.

It was extremely agile, and with its eight legs, its body could turn even more flexibly.

Qin Niu even thought that the Wolf Spider’s agility far exceeded that of feline animals of the same level. It was precisely by relying on this agility that the Wolf Spider could stand toe-to-toe with the Two-tailed Red Fox.

The Twin-tailed Red Fox seemed to be very afraid of being bitten and could only constantly dodge.

Nonetheless, it had a particularly powerful ace up its sleeve.

It could spew red mist from its mouth.

The temperature of the red mist was extremely high. The weeds on the ground wilted rapidly after being sprayed with the red mist, even beginning to smoke.

But it still fell a bit short of actual flames.

Qin Niu’s Fire Phoenix was an ancestor of fire—the flames it ejected were a hundred times more powerful than the Twin-tailed Red Fox’s red mist.
