Chapter 321: Chapter 314: Slaying the He Family Ancestor_1

“`

Unfortunately, Qin Niu currently didn’t have any impressive insects that he could use to fight; the most powerful ones were only the Termites and the War Bees.

They were incapable of posing a fatal threat to a practitioner of the Innate Realm.

Given more time, once the Green Demon Bees and the Ant Queen matured, he should be able to massacre his enemies just like Elder Jiu Yin, solely relying on insects.

Qin Niu released another batch of Green Ring Worker Bees, but this time their target wasn’t the He Family Old Ancestor, it was the two He Family Innate Realm experts at the rear.

The purpose was to delay them.

He wanted to minimize the risk of assassinating the He Family Old Ancestor.

The Green Ring Worker Bees could be bred again if they died, but if he, their master, died, everything would be over.

The two He Family Innate Realm experts, noticing wave after wave of poisonous bees attacking, dared not be negligent, refusing to let the bees close to their bodies. They both stopped and vigorously swung their weapons to defend.

This was the instinct of every expert.

“You ugly, short old ghost, you’re so frightened by just a few ordinary poisonous bees, you’d better just stay home and guard your coffin. If you keep chasing me, don’t blame me for slaughtering you.”

Qin Niu, while fleeing, continued to provoke the He Family Old Ancestor, a ticking time bomb, with his words.

Dealing with someone with a hot temper and impatience, angering them, and then waiting for them to reveal a flaw before striking them down, was a repeatedly proven experience.

“Argh… You’re driving me to my grave, you’re driving me to my grave! If you’re brave enough, stop running!”

“Alright, as you wish!”

Qin Niu suddenly turned around, holding the Ink Blade in hand, and as the He Family Old Ancestor charged towards him at great speed, he raised his hand and struck with his blade.

The simple slash contained a trace of the essence of martial arts.

Blade Qi burst forth as if intending to split the heavens and the earth, and ahead of the Blade Qi, a fine black line became faintly visible.

This strike had, once again, the effect of Rupture.

“Little brat, you’re seeking your own death.”

The He Family Old Ancestor revealed a cunning smile as he touched his waist, where his belt turned out to be a soft sword.

The luxurious Treasured Sword he had always been carrying was just a decoy.

The soft sword was the real divine weapon.

The old ginger was still spicier, after all.

The He Family Old Ancestor had actually hidden a move up his sleeve.

But his smugness didn’t last two seconds, because a golden light shot towards him, appearing even brighter in the twilight of the evening.

The speed of the light was something no human could evade.

It was too fast.

The golden light shone on the head of the He Family Old Ancestor.

Moo~!

The Green Ox made a sound.

The He Family Old Ancestor, initially thinking that the function of the golden light was to dazzle his eyes, didn’t expect that once the light shone on him, his mind would become groggy.

With his extensive combat experience, he immediately realized something bad was going to happen.

He bit his tongue at once, using the sharp pain to quickly clear his mind.

When he lifted his eyes, Qin Niu’s Blade Qi was already above his forehead.

It was too late to dodge or defend.

“This damn scoundrel, so dishonorable in combat!”

The He Family Old Ancestor inwardly cursed, already feeling a piercing pain on his scalp.

“I’ll take you down with me.”

In that instant, the He Family Old Ancestor made a crazy decision.

Seeing that he couldn’t escape his deadly fate, his soft sword thrust at Qin Niu, with brilliant Sword Qi bursting from the tip.

The Blade Qi also, in that moment, directly tore through all of the He Family Old Ancestor’s defenses.

The thin aura formed by the outward display of his power, which could block the attacks from the Termites and Green Ring Bees, couldn’t stop Qin Niu’s Ink Blade.

“`

Bang!

The entire person was split into two by the Treasured Sword. Qin Niu’s peak cultivation in the Innate Realm was utterly useless against the Ink Blade.

Right before death, the He Family patriarch’s soft sword stabbed into Qin Niu’s King Pig Leather Armor.

Pfft!

The defensive power of the King Pig Leather Armor was decent; it withstood part of the attack but was still pierced through.

This sword was almost of the same quality as that of Elder Jiu Yin.

It was indeed a divine weapon.

Even someone with only an Acquired Realm cultivation could manifest a trace of Sword Qi with such a divine weapon. It was extraordinarily powerful.

It was the first time Qin Niu’s King Pig Leather Armor had been breached.

After the soft sword pierced through the King Pig Leather Armor, it was blocked by a layer of material that wasn’t too thick.

It was the soft armor Qin Niu had acquired from that female Insect Master.

Since it was a woman’s undergarment, he couldn’t wear it; he could only fold it and place it over his chest.

This armor could withstand a slash from the Ink Blade, so naturally, it could resist the soft sword with ease.

It had saved Qin Niu’s life.

However, the powerful force emanating from the sword’s tip still sent Qin Niu flying. The He Family patriarch was profoundly skilled, and his desperate strike was terrifyingly powerful.

The blow from the sword severely injured Qin Niu, blood dribbled from the corner of his mouth, and his ribs were in such pain that they felt as if they were broken.

“Great-Uncle!”

The two Innate Realm experts from the He Family, seeing that their patriarch had been cleaved into two halves, couldn’t help but let out an extremely anguished roar.

After killing the man, despite his serious injuries, Qin Niu did not forget to take the soft sword.

He had been worrying about what precious gifts to give his two fiancées; now that he had this soft sword, he no longer had to worry about being unfair.

He had another purpose for doing this, which was to deliberately reveal some information to the enemy.

To tell the other two formidable foes, “I killed your He Family patriarch and still had the strength to pick up the spoils of war. So relaxed and composed as I am, come and chase me if you dare.”

“Stop right there!”

The fifty-something Innate Realm expert shouted from behind and sped towards Qin Niu.

It was just that the Innate Realm expert who had been bitten by the Termite was lagging significantly.

Qin Niu glanced back at the man chasing him, and instead of speeding up his escape, the corners of his mouth curved up, revealing a meaningful, wicked smile.

He proceeded forward at an unhurried pace.

A shiver ran through the heart of this Innate Realm expert from the He Family.

Their patriarch was easily slaughtered with a single slash; he was now deep within enemy territory alone and could end up as the next He Family patriarch.

Considering how Qin Niu had calmly taken the soft sword of the He Family patriarch just now, it was baffling.

The man pretending to chase after Qin Niu stopped near the patriarch’s corpse and fell down crying next to it.

“Great-Uncle, your death is so tragic, I swear I will avenge your blood feud…”

That was all nonsense.

A true ruthless person wouldn’t say such things for show; they would just grit their teeth and doggedly pursue Qin Niu, vowing to fight to the death.

Qin Niu’s figure gradually disappeared from view.

…

The two Innate Realm experts of the He Family looked at their patriarch’s tragic death with sorrow, anger, and deep fear.

“Our patriarch was at the peak of the Innate Realm, just one step away from entering the Spirit Qi Realm, yet was instantly killed by Qin Niu. This man is indeed formidable.”

“His blade must not be an ordinary weapon.”

“Hmm, it must be a divine weapon. It’s infuriating that our He Family had only that one divine weapon, and it was grabbed by that little beast. Brother Camel, now our He Family only has the two of us at the Innate Realm. I’m afraid killing Qin Niu would be as hard as ascending to heaven.”

“Alas… If I had known, I would not have provoked this scourge. All for a dozen or so mu of black earth, at the expense of the top forces our He Family had accumulated over many years.”
