Chapter 319: Chapter 312: Poisonous Ant Shows Power_1

“`

This should also indirectly prove that the He Family does not have a strong practitioner in the Spirit Qi Realm.

Since the He Family lacks a strong practitioner in the Spirit Qi Realm, Qin Niu naturally has nothing to fear.

Qin Niu leaped off the carriage, ready to face the three experts of the He Family alongside Green Ox.

“Ah Niu, you must survive, I’ll wait for you in Black Tiger City.”

Wang Wanyan shouted to Qin Niu.

At this moment, watching Qin Niu facing a formidable enemy alone, her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

Her desire to become stronger became more resolute, more urgent.

“Don’t worry.”

Qin Niu watched as the carriage sped away, then he turned to face the strong enemies pursuing him.

The He Family’s target was him, so it was fine if Wang Wanyan and the others escaped.

“Young man, you have guts.”

The He Family patriarch looked at the not-so-tall figure of Qin Niu, whose voice, however, was like a huge bell, very loud.

“You flatter me!”

Qin Niu calmly regarded the three pursuers.

The leader, an old man with a face full of wrinkles and white hair and beard, might only be around 1.5 meters tall. He was dressed in gray cloth and wore straw sandals, but in his hand, he held a Red-Tasseled Treasure Sword.

The horse he rode was a Sweaty Precious Horse, as were those ridden by the other two.

The He Family either had a special fondness for Sweaty Precious Horses or they had the ability to breed purebred ones.

Although this horse was known as the king among horses, fearless even in the presence of lions and tigers, ready to charge into battle, ordinary horses would grow weak in the knees at the sight of a fierce tiger.

The other two pursuers were around their fifties and nearly sixties, respectively.

All three were strong and deliberately concealed the sharpness in their eyes.

“There really are quite a few Innate Realm experts in the He Family, including the one I killed, plus the three here, that makes four. Is this what they call the foundation of a local influential clan?”

Qin Niu’s expression remained calm.

As long as the He Family had no strong practitioner in the Spirit Qi Realm, he believed that with his insects and pets, and with the added help of the Ink Blade and King Pig Leather Armor, he had the capability to fight.

“For killing a direct descendant of the He Family, you must give an explanation today.”

“What kind of explanation would you like?”

Qin Niu stared at the elder standing behind the He Family patriarch and asked.

“Commit suicide as an apology!”

Another Innate Realm practitioner in his fifties answered sternly.

“Hmm, that sounds good. The three of you can commit suicide now.”

Qin Niu nodded.

“Raaawr! I’m so angry, so furious—kill him!”

The He Family patriarch had a fiery temper.

His descendant had been killed by Qin Niu, and now this youngster did not show any remorse. Instead, he casually suggested that they commit suicide, his nonchalant tone being the greatest form of arrogance.

“Lazy Ox, run fast!”

Just a moment ago, Qin Niu was infinitely arrogant, outdoing even Lord He in posturing. The next second, to everyone’s surprise, he immediately took Green Ox and jumped off the shoulder of the road, fleeing into the weeds.

“Chase.”

The three Innate Realm experts from the He Family immediately followed suit.

Though the Sweaty Precious Horse could adapt to different complex terrains, the direction Qin Niu chose to flee had many ditches, where a horse could easily stumble if it missed a step.

Green Ox had already tumbled a few times.

Seeing that the Sweaty Precious Horses were at a disadvantage chasing Qin Niu across such terrain, the three He Family experts swiftly dismounted and pursued Qin Niu using their movement techniques.

Surprisingly, the three He Family experts were extremely formidable, each displaying profound skill in their movements.

“Old does not mean decrepit. You three old fellows think you can catch this young master?”

Qin Niu in the lead, still provoked the three men from up front.

At this point, the sky was dimming, greatly affecting visibility.

“`

The three strong members of the He Family really lived their years in vain, completely unaware that if Qin Niu could slaughter an expert of the Innate Realm from the He Family, how could he be merely a coward who only knows to run away?

The first to suffer were their battle horses.

One by one, the extremely poisonous termites silently crawled onto them and viciously bit them.

“Huihui~!”

“Hiss hiss!”

The three Sweaty Precious Horses cried out in pain, raising their hooves and desperately leaping on the spot, thrashing their bodies, with tails wildly whipping their hindquarters.

They tried to drive away the termites on their bodies just like swatting at mosquitoes.

However, as the poison quickly took effect, they began to show varying degrees of symptoms and ran wildly around in a frenzy.

Some of the termites had also crawled onto the bodies of the three He Family strongmen.

Hearing the sudden screams and chaotic running and jumping of the battle horses behind them, they realized something was wrong.

“This isn’t good, I’ve heard that Qin Niu is an Insect Master, and we might have fallen into his trap,” one of them said.

At last someone’s mind was still sharp.

This person realized that Qin Niu might have intentionally lured them into this kind of complex terrain.

Because the area was overgrown with weeds, it was very easy for insects to hide.

“Aiyah!”

The over sixty-year-old expert from the Innate Realm let out a cry of pain, slapping his neck.

Clearly, he had been stung by a termite.

“Watch out for the bugs, I’ve been stung, it might be a rice bee,” he advised.

“Rice bee” is the local term collectively referring to those smaller species of bees.

There are mud bees, cyan rice bees, jumper bees, and many other types.

Despite their small size, even smaller than common honeybees, with the tiniest being the size of a green bean, they carry poison stingers and are capable of causing harm.

When outdoors, they land on a person’s body silently and crawl around in search of food.

At this time, they do not actively attack people.

But once they crawl onto a person’s skin, and the person, instinctively feeling the bug, tries to swat it,

that’s when they get stung.

Most species of bees, even if they are swatted dead, still have the capability to sting.

“Use your cultivation to protect your entire body,” came the command.

The He Family ancestor already had a faint golden aura shining around his body. frёewebηovel.cѳm

This aura’s color was related to the practiced cultivation technique.

For example, if one cultivated something like the Golden Bell Shield, the aura could be golden in color. Qin Niu’s practiced Everlasting Spring Technique, hence it appeared green.

There were also people whose cultivation technique produced a white aura.

The ability to extend one’s cultivation outside the body was something that only a master of the Innate Realm could do. Even a pinnacle expert of the Acquired Realm did not have this ability.

The faint golden aura around the He Family ancestor was thin, but very solid.

The weeds and leaves that came into contact with his body were directly shattered.

The auras of the other two Innate Realm strongmen were pretty much the same color, both golden yellow.

However, their cultivation wasn’t as profound as the He Family ancestor, so their auras’ color was much paler.

The depth of one’s cultivation was clear at a glance at this moment.

“Too bad, only one person was hurt,” Qin Niu remarked.

He noticed that the termites which had successfully climbed onto his enemies had been killed before they could attack.

Experts of the Innate Realm were extremely powerful, and ordinary bugs posed little threat to them.

At best, they could only take advantage when the experts were unprepared and launch a surprise attack.

Unless Qin Niu could cultivate the termites to Grade Six or higher, allowing them to evolve stronger attacking or defensive abilities, they were unlikely to pose a serious threat to Innate Realm experts.

Qin Niu had originally planned to use the termites to secretly attack the three He Family strongmen and then strike them down in their weakened state, attempting a counter-kill in one fell swoop.

But now, facing one against three, the risk was too great.

He decisively gave up.

At least for now, rushing in to take advantage of the situation would likely result in falling into a dangerous predicament of being surrounded and attacked by the three Innate Realm strongmen.
