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

Chapter 447: Chapter 439: The Nemesis of the Nine Insect Gang_1

After scavenging the spoils of war, Qin Niu noticed that several logistics soldiers had rushed over.

Wu Shanle had detonated his long whip just a moment ago, injuring many people.

Some of those with weaker cultivation even died on the spot. Qin Niu saw one warrior’s chest had been blown open with a hole as big as a bowl. Another’s helmet was caved in; that person’s skull must have been shattered and probably a large chunk of his head was caved in as well.

The desperate strike of a Spirit Qi Realm expert was this terrifying.

The two brothers at the very center of the explosion were severely injured; the skinny Insect Master was already lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state. The fat Insect Master was in a much better condition, with just blood at the corner of his mouth, which was a clear sign of internal injury.

Qin Niu couldn’t be of much help and watched as the logistics soldiers carried the two away.

Someone would tend to these injured people.

Since the two brothers had the peak of Innate Realm cultivation and were Insect Masters, they would undoubtedly be prioritized for treatment.

“Master Qin, Iron Tiger has been hurt as well!”

Ye Ji called out to Qin Niu anxiously.

“Where is he injured?”

Qin Niu went over to inspect Iron Tiger’s injury. These two were now his bodyguards, so naturally, they were under his command.

“It’s nothing serious; just got hit on my back. I practice body-hardening cultivation techniques. It won’t kill me.”

Iron Tiger was putting on a brave face, yet his body trembled.

The armor on his back had been shattered, with flesh around the broken area mangled. It was dangerously close to the spine and similarly near to the heart.

Upon careful inspection, Qin Niu found the wound was about an inch deep; any deeper and it would certainly have reached the internal organs.

“It doesn’t seem too serious, go rest in the back! Have someone clean your wound and then apply some antiseptic medicine,” Qin Niu said.

Ye Ji had called him over simply to get his permission.

The Black Tiger Gang Leader had ordered them to follow Qin Niu’s commands and ensure his safety. Even though Iron Tiger was injured, he wouldn’t dare to leave without Qin Niu’s consent.

“Thank you for your concern, Master Qin. This little injury is nothing; I can just apply some medicine myself,” Iron Tiger said, not wanting to withdraw for healing.

After speaking, he purposefully clenched his fist to reveal a faint hint of light, proving he was indeed not seriously hurt.

“Okay then! Miss Ye Ji, you apply some medicine on him,” Qin Niu agreed.

Ye Ji, however, appeared troubled and seemed a bit embarrassed.

In Qin Niu’s view, Iron Tiger had been injured while protecting Ye Ji, and since both were close attendants of the Gang Leader, applying medicine didn’t seem out of place.

“Is there a problem?” Qin Niu’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“No, there’s no problem,” Ye Ji finally agreed to help Iron Tiger with his wound. Iron Tiger immediately showed a pleased smile as if the injury on his back no longer pained him.

Qin Niu didn’t pay them any more attention and turned to survey other parts of the battlefield.

Having the Green Demon Bee take action had instantly eliminated a Spirit Qi Realm expert, giving him a bit more confidence.

However, he didn’t become complacent with pride; instead, he remained cautious.

The Nine Insect Gang was known for insect control, with plenty of highly skilled practitioners. There was no ruling out the possibility that someone could counter Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee. If anything went wrong, it would be a case of excessive joy turning into sorrow.

Before the Green Demon Bee’s larvae were combat-ready, he would only consider the Green Demon Bee a last resort, rather than deploying it recklessly to kill enemies.

Nor would he show off on the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield was still unclear, with ordinary soldiers fighting to the death. Such was the sorrow of the foot soldier.

They had no freedom of choice but to act on the commands of the higher-ups.

Whether they liked it or not, once on the frontline, they had to fight for their lives.

What they thought about was defeating the enemy army, establishing great achievements, and winning this war.

The higher-ups from the three sects were also fighting fiercely against each other at this moment.

But compared to ordinary soldiers, they seemed more rational. If they couldn’t win, they would immediately retreat and flee, never dragging their feet.

Vice Gang Leader Bai and a few Spirit Qi Realm experts from the Black Tiger Gang were currently in a duel with experts from the Shennong Sect.

The most astonishing in strength among them was Pan Jianjun, the Shennong Sect Leader.

In his hands, the three-foot green blade moved with divine intervention, its sword momentum strong and domineering, like a green sword dragon slaughtering all in its path. His wife wielded a longsword as well, paired with her graceful figure, she danced like a butterfly among flowers.

Her sword momentum was elusive and beautiful, yet also had a venomous cruelty like that of a viper, with every strike aiming for the enemy’s life and directly targeting their vital points.

Around these two were five or six Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses, identifiable as Shennong Sect experts from their attire.

On the side of the Black Tiger Gang, Bai Xuezhu was the most eye-catching, clashing with the Shennong Sect Leader without falling short at all.

The greatest advantage of practicing a cultivating technique focused on resilience was the astonishing defense; when fighting against a powerful enemy, one could afford to fight unrestrainedly, unafraid of getting hurt.

Since the opposition did not practice a defensive cultivation technique, if they exchanged blows, the opponent would undoubtedly suffer more serious injuries.

This caused the opponent to dare not meet force with force, but only to dodge.

Bai Xuezhu thus gained a not insignificant advantage.

The experts from the Shennong Sect were currently at a disadvantage.

One thing puzzled Qin Niu. The Shennong Sect’s scale should be the largest among the three sects, and they should have far more than six or seven top experts. At the very least, they should be able to bring out a dozen or twenty Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses.

Including the Shennong Sect Leader and his wife, there were only seven Spirit Qi Realm experts in total; it was clear they hadn’t exerted their full strength.

It was possible that this didn’t even constitute half of the Shennong Sect’s top experts.

This kind of situation could mean that the Shennong Sect was dealing with internal disagreements, with many high-level figures not willing to follow the Sect Leader into battle against the Black Tiger Gang. Another possibility was that Pan Jianjun was guarding against the Nine Insect Gang, not wanting to become cannon fodder, and had deliberately held back some strength.

“Qin Niu, hurry and support the Gang Leader over there!”

Bai Xuezhu truly had eyes in every direction and ears on every wind.

At this time, he noticed that the situation was not good for the Black Tiger Gang Leader, and after seeing Qin Niu kill Wu Shanle, an elder of the Nine Insect Gang, with one blow, he thought of asking Qin Niu to go support the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

Because the main opponent the Black Tiger Gang Leader was fighting was an Insect Master from the Nine Insect Gang.

This included the remaining four elders of the Nine Insect Gang, as well as protectors, executors, and others.

The Nine Insect Gang had a total of seven elders, three of whom were taken out by Qin Niu.

If there truly was a natural nemesis in life, then the Nine Insect Gang’s nemesis was definitely Qin Niu.

“Take care of yourself!”

Qin Niu and Bai Xuezhu had some acquaintance.

Ever since they met, Bai Xuezhu had always appreciated him and taken good care of him.

Qin Niu was a person who knew gratitude, and he did not wish for Bai Xuezhu to come to harm.

“I’m perfectly fine here, go quickly!”

Bai Xuezhu urged anxiously.

The Black Tiger Gang was weak when it came to Insect Masters, and they were in need of a formidable Insect Master like Qin Niu.

Qin Niu didn’t dawdle any further and immediately spurred his warhorse toward the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

The two sides weren’t far apart.

The Black Tiger Gang Leader and the Nine Insects Gang Leader seemed to be arch-enemies, engaging in a fight that was difficult to resolve.

The demonic spider of the Nine Insects Gang Leader was formidable, but the demonic beast mount of the Black Tiger Gang Leader was no weaker. In terms of strength, the Black Tiger Gang Leader was even a bit stronger.

However, when the other Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses of the Black Tiger Gang were in a fierce fight with powerful enemies, they also had to guard against stealth attacks from the opponent’s Insect Pets, which led them to be somewhat at a disadvantage. Moreover, the insect pets released by the elders and protectors of the Nine Insect Gang were very formidable, posing a threat to the Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses.
