Chapter 290: Chapter 283 Green Ox Shows Its Might_1
“`
Qin Niu subconsciously licked his lips, indeed it was just as he had anticipated.
Elder Jiu Yin did not rush to flee the Black Tiger Gang, instead, he quietly turned back and ran towards Shuangfeng Village to kill Qin Niu.
“Daring to show aggression at the end of your tether?”
Facing an opponent in the Spirit Qi Realm, Qin Niu openly scorned the enemy, but in reality, he was fully engaged in battle.
The Qingfeng Sword was in Elder Jiu Yin’s hand.
Under the moonlight, the edge of the sword flickered with a green light, with tiny sparks of electricity glinting faintly.
The sword’s thrust was simple and direct, stabbing straight at Qin Niu.
It was both fast and fierce, with the Sword Qi shining through the tip of the sword, about an inch long.
If he remembered correctly, Qin Niu recalled that Elder Jiu Yin had been able to unleash five to six inches of Sword Qi with this sword during his battle with Vice City Lord Bai. Now, filled with resentment, Elder Jiu Yin aimed for a one-hit kill.
But the Sword Qi was only about an inch long, signifying Elder Jiu Yin had suffered heavy injuries and had only a tenth of his power left.
Qin Niu firmly gripped the Ink Blade with both hands and made a swift slash.
Bang!
When their blades clashed, Elder Jiu Yin’s treasured sword didn’t break.
This surprised Qin Niu.
It meant that this treasured sword was no ordinary weapon.
With his current level of cultivation, and the power of the Ink Blade, he could easily cut through a weapon made of Hundred-Tempering Fine Steel.
The powerful energy from the collision transferred from the blade to the palms of his hands.
It caused a faint pain in the base of his thumbs.
The Ink Blade almost flew out of his hand.
An emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse.
Even gravely injured and constantly pursued by Vice City Lord Bai, leaving no time for recovery, a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse remained formidable.
If Elder Jiu Yin hadn’t been injured, he probably could have easily slain Qin Niu with a single thrust.
The gap between the Innate Realm and the Spirit Qi Realm was indeed not a small one.
If Elder Jiu Yin was this strong, how terrifying must Vice City Lord Bai be, who was able to hold his own in a bloody battle against three Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses without falling behind?
Qin Niu now had a firsthand experience of just how powerful a Spirit Qi Realm master could be.
With the Ancient Banyan Tree, coupled with his planting skills, and those hundred thousand silver notes, given some time to grow, he might not even need ten years to successfully advance to the Spirit Qi Realm.
“This blade is quite good! It can somewhat make up for this old man’s losses.”
After exchanging blows with Qin Niu, Elder Jiu Yin gauged the strength and weakness of both parties.
He realized that the cultivation technique practiced by Qin Niu was not suited for combat.
Therefore, he believed that the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt, and he could quickly eliminate Qin Niu. After that, the Ink Blade would naturally belong to him.
“Elder Jiu Yin, what do you think will happen if Lord Bai happens to be around here?”
Qin Niu used his words to unsettle the adversary’s resolve.
His aim was to make Elder Jiu Yin feel the pressure, making it easier for him to expose flaws.
Then, Qin Niu would naturally seize the opportunity to eliminate the enemy.
“Humph, save your tricks. I’ve crossed more bridges than you’ve walked roads, who are you trying to fool? Die!”
Elder Jiu Yin spoke toughly, but his eagerness to attack again already revealed a flicker of panic in his heart. He was very afraid that Vice City Lord Bai would arrive.
“Go! Immediately inform Lord Bai, tell him Elder Jiu Yin has turned back towards Shuangfeng Village in Jade Stream Town.”
Qin Niu shouted towards the distance.
And then, he started running.
This made Elder Jiu Yin frantic.
Who knew if Qin Niu had really arranged his men in the vicinity?
If Vice City Lord Bai were called over, Elder Jiu Yin wouldn’t be able to survive even with two more lives.
“You little beast, don’t think you can escape!”
Elder Jiu Yin spat out a puff of black air from his mouth, within which was a black centipede exuding an aura of death. With four wings flapping, it flew towards Qin Niu.
It moved incredibly fast.
This insect was only about two inches long, as thick as a chopstick.
Elder Jiu Yin had actually been rearing it inside his body, which truly broadened Qin Niu’s horizons.
The black centipede’s wings flapped, and its body vanished in a whoosh; in the next second, it appeared right behind Qin Niu.
Its speed was too fast.
And while flying, it seemed to be capable of teleporting.
Moreover, this centipede gave Qin Niu a strong sense of lethal threat.
“`
“Fourth, attack it immediately with the ant swarm!”
At this moment, Qin Niu knew he must have Fourth lead the Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants to deal with the black centipede.
“Master, it’s too strong. Our Spirit Control and Mental Attacks are having little effect on it.”
Fourth relayed the outcome of the attack to Qin Niu.
“Wart Toad, help out!”
Qin Niu called for the Red-eyed Golden Toad.
Unfortunately, the speed of the Red-eyed Golden Toad was much slower than that of the black centipede.
Moreover, since the opponent was flying in the air, it was difficult for the Golden Toad to reach.
Qin Niu had already pushed his Misty Rain Elusive Step to the extreme.
The timid turtle, though scared, felt that its master was in danger and had already crawled out of the fish pond in the front yard on its own initiative.
It was now rapidly approaching Qin Niu.
The robust Green Ox, which had been sleeping in the cattle shed, had also opened the door of the shed by itself and run out.
“Hmph, do you think you, an Innate Realm individual, can escape the pursuit of my Four-Winged Demon Centipede?”
Elder Jiu Yin pursued persistently from behind as the black centipede launched an attack on Qin Niu.
Instantly, it flew in front of Qin Niu and took a bite at his face.
Scared out of his wits, Qin Niu swung his blade with all his might, but hit nothing.
It was too fast, he couldn’t hit it at all.
Left with no choice, Qin Niu could only fully activate his King Pig Leather Armor, a faint layer of protective Qi appearing around him.
“Demon Armor! This treasure, Elder wants it too.”
Elder Jiu Yin, seeing the protective Qi manifest on the surface of the King Pig Leather Armor, couldn’t help but feel elated again.
“I never expected that a minor Innate Realm Insect Master like you would have so many treasures. Could you possibly be the illegitimate son of the Black Tiger Gang Leader?”
Bang!
The Four-Winged Demon Centipede viciously bit down on Qin Niu’s faceguard.
The protective Qi actually shattered upon its bite.
This Four-Winged Demon Centipede must be at least a Grade Seven creature, and very possibly at the peak of Grade Seven, or even stronger.
In a panic, Qin Niu hastily took out an Invisibility Talisman.
At this critical moment, Green Ox’s horns shot out a beam of golden light, striking the Four-Winged Demon Centipede that was trying to bite Qin Niu to death.
The body of the Four-Winged Demon Centipede instantly became stiff, and it twisted in terror.
With such a golden opportunity, Qin Niu swung his blade with full force.
Bang!
This time he struck the Four-Winged Demon Centipede dead on.
It was like hitting metal, sparks flying off its carapace as the creature was sent flying away.
But the Blade Qi on the edge of the Ink Blade failed to cut it in two.
It had only sustained some minor injuries.
“This ox is actually a demon ox! And an exotic one at that! Who exactly are you?”
Elder Jiu Yin, seeing his strongest trump card sent flying, looked at the small water buffalo in surprise.
“Lazy Ox, take care of him!”
Qin Niu commanded Green Ox.
Immediately, he resolutely activated the Invisibility Talisman, and a strange energy enveloped him.
His body disappeared into the night.
“What kind of technique is this?”
Only now did Elder Jiu Yin realize that this seemingly easy-to-kill Innate Realm youth not only had numerous treasures and powerful pets but also had even more formidable techniques.
Qin Niu now had two choices: to run away using the Invisibility Talisman.
Or he could go for a sneak attack and take down Elder Jiu Yin.
He chose the latter.
Because Elder Jiu Yin was currently seriously injured, his vital energy greatly damaged, and his power yet to recover.
The Four-Winged Demon Centipede was probably the last trump card Elder Jiu Yin could play.
If he couldn’t seize such a heaven-sent opportunity, killing Elder Jiu Yin after he had recovered would be almost impossible.
Qin Niu always liked to nip dangers in the bud.
Having discovered that Qin Niu had vanished, Elder Jiu Yin also immediately heightened his alertness. But Xiao Nui didn’t bother with pleasantries.
Oxen are stubborn by nature, and that’s all there is to it.
