Chapter 448: Chapter 440: Black and White Protectors_1

Qin Niu arrived, only to be immediately given ‘special attention’.

“It’s this brat who killed Elder Wu, annihilate him, avenge Elder Wu.”

“His Insect Pet must be very formidable, somewhat resembled the long-lost Green Demon Bee.”

“Don’t be careless, Elder Wu was stung by his Green Bee and quickly succumbed to the poison and died. Elder Gong, dealing with this kid suits you best.”

The Nine Insect Gang’s remaining four elders saw Qin Niu’s arrival and immediately began to discuss amongst themselves animatedly.

“I have to deal with the two old folks from the Fang Family, an insignificant Innate Realm kid like him could easily be eliminated by any one of you.”

Elder Gong was a sinister-looking old man.

Of medium height, fair-skinned, his face slightly chubby. It was the kind of baby fat look, with a mustache.

He was fighting two opponents at once, yet he was not at a disadvantage—he was indeed no ordinary powerhouse.

After all, each of the five old ancestors from the Fang Family had incredible cultivation. The combat power they demonstrated was beyond imagination.

Fang Lian likely wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution, to enhance the Fang Family’s influence in the Black Tiger Gang. All five ancestors of the Fang Family were present, and Fang Lian himself was strenuously engaged in a fight with an opponent of the Spirit Qi Realm.

Since Fang Lian only had cultivation in the Innate Realm, the other ancestors of the Fang Family were concerned that he might encounter an accident, so no less than three of them followed to protect him.

Under normal circumstances, which Innate Realm powerhouse would dare to engage in direct combat with a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse?

He would probably be annihilated upon the first exchange.

But Fang Lian dared to do so.

His combat experience could be seen improving rapidly.

The benefits of fighting a battle of life and death against a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse would be unimaginable.

It must be said, being born into a good family indeed enables one to struggle less than ordinary people for many years.

Though Elder Gong spoke lightly, not taking Qin Niu seriously, the reality could be quite the opposite. When he looked at Qin Niu, there was a deep wariness in his eyes.

Qin Niu easily killed Elder Wu Shanle. Should Elder Gong be a bit more cautious, he would try to avoid fighting against such a freak as much as possible.

Because winning would bring no glory, and losing would be truly humiliating—it would be like being upstaged by a mere infant after thirty years.

He made an excuse that he was too tied up to lead the fight, which was a very wise choice.

“Elder Di, why don’t you go? You have deep research on the Green Demon Bee, and if that kid really uses the Green Demon Bee, you would be the perfect counter to him.”

“I am on the verge of victory, and you want me to withdraw to deal with a milk-smelling kid? What are your intentions? Is killing a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse of the Black Tiger Gang not more valuable than killing an Innate Realm Insect Master?”

Elder Di was also no fool and refused outright.

The reason was he was actually having the upper hand against the City Commandant in their fight, but to say the battle would end there, was premature.

“Black and White Protectors, you siblings go and eliminate that kid.”

Seeing that these elders were immovable, each more cunning than the last, the task of dealing with Qin Niu finally fell to two protectors.

“This…”

The two protectors, a brother and a sister, the man dressed in a white robe and the woman in a black robe.

The man wielded a weapon that was a dark red iron chain, which could possibly be crafted from the legendary mysterious metal. And not just any mysterious metal, but the extremely rare Red Iron.

Iron tends to embody water properties, being majority cold due to its yin nature.

But Red Iron within the mysterious metals was an exception.

Some believed it to be Red Flame Iron, inherently carrying fire properties. Some made it into a Red Flame Iron Saber, from which a single slash brought forth flames, its power extraordinarily formidable.

The female protector wielded a staff that appeared very heavy.

However, it seemed quite effortless in her hands when she swung it.

The two, one in black and the other in white, using such peculiar weapons—could they be trying to mimic the legendary Black and White Impermanence?

“This is an opportunity for you and your sister to establish great merit. If you can slay that boy and avenge Elder Wu’s death, how could the Gang Leader ignore your contributions? One of you siblings might even become a new Elder.”

Driven by the lure of great rewards, the sibling duo stopped refusing, exchanged a glance, and charged directly at Qin Niu.

“Surrender your life, and we may leave your corpse intact!”

The female protector barked coldly.

The cultivation levels of the Black and White Protectors were both at the peak of the Innate Realm, especially the female protector, who felt infinitely close to the Spirit Qi Realm. Standing there, the air around her fluctuated and constantly twisted.

This was a sign that the power within her was so strong that it was overflowing outwards.

In simple terms, she had cultivated to the utmost limit of the Innate Realm, her profound power so immense that her body could no longer contain it.

Phenomena of power overflowing typically occur under two circumstances.

One is when someone has just advanced to the Innate Realm or Spirit Qi Realm and their realm is not yet stable, leading to an overflow of power.

This is generally a minor overflow of power.

The other is when one’s cultivation level has reached its pinnacle, and due to the inability to break through to the next new realm, their body cannot contain it, leading to a massive overflow. This type of overflow is also known as expansion.

It would overflow from various parts of the body, causing the surrounding air to distort, making the person appear somewhat blurred.

The Black and White Protectors seemed to be aware of the potency of Qin Niu’s Insect Pet, and did not give him the chance to release it, attacking Qin Niu with their weapons simultaneously. The woman swung her mourning stick at Qin Niu’s head, while the man shook the Red Iron Chains towards Qin Niu’s legs.

Their coordination was seamless, clearly the result of frequent joint training practice.

At the same time, their Insect Pets also launched a combined assault on Qin Niu.

The woman summoned a group of beautiful butterflies, numbering around seventeen or eighteen, while the man controlled a swarm of vile maggots.

They wriggled quickly, crawling toward Qin Niu.

The beautiful butterflies, on the other hand, flew towards Qin Niu’s head, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

“Phosphor butterflies, also known as Nether Flame Butterflies, the legend has it that these insects hail from the ghostly netherworld. As they fly, they can scatter phosphorous powder, which ignites upon contact with air when it lands on an enemy. Not only can this flame burn the enemy’s flesh, but it can also consume their soul. It’s an extremely malevolent insect.”

Qin Niu recalled a passage about Nether Flame Butterflies from a book he had read.

It was said that in ancient times, to prevent tomb raiders from excavating their tombs, emperors would pay a hefty price to procure phosphor butterflies and seal them within their palace tombs.

Even after thousands of years, should any tomb raider dig open the grave and enter, they would immediately come under phosphor butterfly attack and ultimately be incinerated to ash.

This was Qin Niu’s first time encountering such an evil legendary insect.

The vile maggots released by the Male Protector were ferocious in nature, and if they burrowed into one’s body, they would cling to the bones and suck the marrow. They could easily break through an enemy’s skin, then drill into the flesh and head straight for the bone marrow.

This particular vile maggot was known as the bone-clinging maggot, which feeds on the marrow of living beings.

“They’re both precious items; feeding them to my Insect Pet might help it evolve new special abilities.”

Qin Niu wasn’t afraid upon seeing these two strange insects.

The phosphor butterflies were of a Yin-incarnate nature, and the Shadow Fire Bees could suppress them tightly.

As for the bone-clinging maggots, Qin Niu’s Termites could clean them up easily.

“Go!”

Qin Niu released a large swarm of Shadow Fire Bees to deal with those phosphor butterflies and also commanded Fourth to lead the ant army to attack those swiftly approaching maggots.

By this time, the female protector had already closed in.

Her figure was incredibly alluring, but her face was impossible to see clearly because she wore a ghostly mask over it.

“Green Ox, get to work!”

Qin Niu ordered the Green Ox into battle.

Green Ox lowered his head and aimed his horns at the female protector; a golden light shot out.

The female protector saw Green Ox lowering its head and thought the foolish ox intended to strike her with its horns. It was only when the golden light emitted from the horns hit her that she realized her mistake.
