Chapter 456: Chapter 448 Breaking the Insect Formation_1

The Fang Family had their own considerations for doing so.

With the once-a-decade Water and Land Dharma Assembly about to begin, the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s cultivation had broken through to the Immortal Master Realm. If nothing unexpected occurred, he was very likely to fight his way out among the many competitors and successfully win a chance at immortality.

Once he obtained the entry ticket from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, the Black Tiger Gang Leader naturally wouldn’t have the time or energy to manage the Black Tiger Gang anymore.

At that time, a new Gang Leader would definitely be selected.

If Fang Lian performed well in this crucial war and made a name for himself, the Fang Family could later exert their influence to help him fight for the position of Gang Leader, and the chances of success were very high.

At least among the younger generation, whether it was the Lu Family, the family that the Black Tiger Gang Leader belonged to, or the other large families, none were currently able to compete with Fang Lian.

To become the leader of a gang, one either needed to have very solid cultivation, management abilities, and personal character, or one must be exceptional and be backed by a powerful family.

Fang Lian’s character and management skills were not lacking; though his cultivation was somewhat weaker, it was still considered excellent among his peers.

Most importantly, the Fang Family was currently the most powerful family in Black Tiger City.

When the time came to choose a new Gang Leader, this factor would definitely be taken into account.

Otherwise, if the new Gang Leader couldn’t suppress the other families, internal strife would easily occur.

This was something the current Black Tiger Gang Leader absolutely did not want to see.

Considering various factors, the Black Tiger Gang Leader was most likely to nominate Fang Lian as his successor.

The other families weren’t fools either; they clearly understood the Fang Family’s intentions.

They definitely wouldn’t openly oppose the Fang Family, but watching the five Fang Family elders struggling alone against formidable enemies, without any help, was what they could do.

If one or two of the Fang Family elders died in battle, it would be a result they were very happy to see.

On the other hand, the bravery and spirit the Fang Family displayed by fighting alone against two faction leaders would be enough to establish unprecedented prestige for the Fang Family.

“A bunch of mayflies! They all deserve to die!”

The mysterious elder made his move again, as the terrifying tide of insects attacked every powerful person in the enemy’s formation indiscriminately.

This kind of method was simply defying the heavens.

It was equivalent to him single-handedly challenging all the strong members of the Black Tiger Gang.

The Black Tiger Gang Leader was an Immortal Master, and the Black Tiger under him was a tiger demon, equivalent to two Immortal Masters. There were also many strong Spirit Qi Realm warriors.

Such a powerful force was something that even an ordinary Immortal Master from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare to confront alone.

The Gu Master, this mysterious profession that was banned by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, indeed had its unique aspects.

The mysterious elder compared these people to mayflies, but did not call them ants, adding to Qin Niu’s suspicions about this person’s background.

In the eyes of ordinary people, ants signify weakness.

But in the eyes of Insect Masters, the strongest insects are actually ants.

Of course, not common ants, but various Heavenly Earth Strange Insects. For instance, the world-famous Void Ant, Heavenly Crystal Ant, Gold Devouring Ant, and so on.

Among the ranking of Heavenly Earth Strange Insects, at least two out of the top ten belong to ants.

Mayfly does not refer to the ant species alone.

It refers to both the mol cricket and the ant species.

The mol cricket is well-known for its great strength, possessing two front legs full of serrated edges that can rapidly excavate soil or push stones much heavier than their own weight.

Compared to ants, mol crickets are much less famous.

This does not mean they are weak.

Rather, it is because mol crickets have a simpler breed variety and are not as numerous as ants.

The base number of ants is terrifying, hence many Heavenly Earth Strange Insects emerge.

With a smaller base number, mol crickets naturally have far fewer variants.

The mysterious elder’s respect for mayflies indicates that before becoming a Gu Master, he was likely an Insect Master.

In fact, Gu Masters originally came from Insect Masters, considered a branch that surpassed its origin.

At the moment, the strength of both sides was not much different, but with the enemy camp setting up a super Insect Formation and the support of this mysterious Gu Master, the situation had suddenly reversed.

Under the dual attack of the insect tide and the enemies, the five elders of the Fang Family were the first to suffer.

After all, the Nine Insects Gang Leader was too powerful.

Aside from the Black Tiger Gang Leader, almost no one could rival her.

With one slash of her sword, four streaks of Sword Qi were directed towards four of the Fang Family elders.

The four elders of the Fang Family managed to barely fend off the Sword Qi but were overwhelmed by the insect tide, putting them in grave danger.

As it seemed that the elders of the Fang Family were on the brink of total annihilation, Fang Lian was heartbroken.

If the five elders died in battle, the Fang Family would immediately go from being a top-tier family in Black Tiger City to a second-tier one.

For a family, strong warriors in the Spirit Qi Realm were like the stabilizing pillar of the sea.

“Young Master Fang, I’m here to lend you a hand!”

Qin Niu had received numerous favors from the Fang Family, and he was not one to accept kindness without giving something in return.

At this critical moment, he decisively took action.

He was well aware that if the Insect Formation couldn’t be broken, everyone from the Black Tiger Gang would be doomed today.

Qin Niu had killed so many of the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s fireflies; the Nine Insects Gang Leader, being so venomous, would never let him off the hook.

Since it was a matter of life and death either way, he might as well take the initiative to strike and find a way to break the situation.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

Fang Lian was thrilled beyond measure; in this difficult moment, Qin Niu’s willingness to risk his life to save the Fang Family’s five ancestors was truly sending coal in snowy weather.

It also filled his heart with warmth.

Qin Niu wasted no time, immediately using his Shadow Fire Bee swarm to help the Fang Family’s five ancestors resolve the crisis.

Just relying on the Shadow Fire Bee swarm was definitely not enough.

“Lazy Ox, Wart Toad, use your Dragon’s Roar and Frog Croak to attack the swarm.”

Facing a massive swarm, the best form of attack was a sonic attack.

Because a sonic attack can achieve a mass attack effect.

The Frog Croak attack could instill fear in the bugs, causing them to flee chaotically. It served as an excellent deterrent.

Green Ox’s Dragon’s Roar Skill could break through evil barriers, illusions, and bewitching sounds.

It might have a certain effect on the current Insect Formation.

“Croak!”

“Roar!”

The two pets launched their sonic attacks one after the other.

The result was surprisingly effective.

The originally surging tide of insects suddenly scattered in all directions, as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Qin Niu realized that the Insect Formation was likely to have an illusionary effect.

Moreover, since Gu techniques were mostly evil, the Insect Formation they produced might also have a nefarious nature.

Green Ox’s Dragon’s Roar Skill was just right for breaking evil barriers, countering some dark arts, which was why it achieved such good results.

The sudden turn of events left everyone in shock.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the strong amongst the Nine Insects Gang fixed their murderous gazes on Green Ox behind Qin Niu.

The power of the Insect Formation was so fearsome that it almost instantly secured victory for the Nine Insects Gang.

Now that the Insect Formation had been disrupted, they felt not only disappointment but also rage, wanting to kill the one who had destroyed it.

The powerhouses of the Black Tiger Gang, on the other hand, were overjoyed.

As long as they could break the enemy’s Insect Formation, the Black Tiger Gang could defeat the formidable foe.

“Kill that kid!”

The mysterious elder pointed his Vine Staff towards Qin Niu; the Insect Formation hadn’t been broken, but was swiftly recovering.

A large group of insects converged once again, reforming the formation.

“Protect Master Qin Niu at all costs!”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader would have to be a fool to let Qin Niu be killed by the enemy.

The Fang Family’s five ancestors, saved by Qin Niu from a tragic fate, were filled with gratitude toward him.

However, upon receiving the mysterious elder’s instructions, the Nine Insects Gang Leader swung her sword at Qin Niu.

“Scram!”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader was not polite this time; he leaped over on the Black Tiger and launched a sword strike at the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

The fearsome Sword Qi left the Nine Insects Gang Leader in absolute terror; she dared not continue her attack on Qin Niu, but instead focused on countering the Black Tiger Gang Leader’s attack. The fight between them, unlike before, held no punches.

Every sword strike was supremely forceful and overwhelmingly sharp.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader struggled to defend herself, and even the black veil on her face was sliced apart, revealing the pretty face of an eighteen-year-old girl.

It was a very beautiful face, with double eyelids, thin red lips, fair skin, and extremely delicate features. The only flaw was her eyes, which were cold and venomous, like a snake’s, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

Qin Niu was preparing to further break the enemy’s Insect Formation with his pets when a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

“Human, can you set me free?”

The Mirage Insect unexpectedly reached out to him with a telepathic message.
