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

Chapter 515: Chapter 507: Divide and Punish

“Within the territory of the Myriad Beast Gang, there actually lurked an evil Infant Demon, which appeared at a very cunning time, just when all the experts from various sects had gone to attend the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, leaving a void and striking when people were unguarded. The Water and Land Dharma Assembly hasn’t even started yet, but all sorts of demons, spirits, and ghosts can’t wait to come out and wreak havoc.”

The Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect could be described as vast in territory, with countless demons living within its mountains, rivers, and lakes.

They usually dared not show themselves openly, for fear of becoming prey to human experts.

Now, with the human experts rushing to Elixir City to fight for immortal fate, and with the Hundred-Tempering Child entering the once-in-a-century life-and-death trial, unable to come out for three years, the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect faced both internal and external troubles. Externally, they had to guard against other immortal and demon sects taking advantage of the situation to invade.

Internally, they needed to prevent some powerful sects from creating chaos and rebellion, leaving them no time to pay attention to the demons lurking in the wilderness.

The lives of ordinary people were worthless in the eyes of the powerful.

There was a powerful individual who, in a fit of anger, slaughtered nearly a hundred thousand people, including many innocent civilians. Yet no one held that powerful individual accountable for their actions.

Just like when Qin Niu slaughtered hundreds from the He Family, the matter was downplayed and eventually forgotten.

The demons were well versed in human nature and hearts, seizing this opportunity to come out and feed voraciously on humans to then crazily boost their strength.

Qin Niu had no intention of meddling in these affairs.

All those slogans like acting for the sake of all life under the heavens and seeking blessings for all beings are merely things rulers shouted to solidify their positions. When faced with major decisions concerning their own interests, few were willing to sacrifice their gains.

He could tell at a glance that the Infant Demon was not to be trifared with, and as long as it did not attack him again, it could go wherever it pleased.

Once the Water and Land Dharma Assembly was over, naturally the experts of the Myriad Beast Gang would deal with it.

The carriage sped through the forest.

The two Black Mare Horses were quite intelligent; they also knew that their situation was very dangerous, so they ran desperately forward, trying to escape from there as quickly as possible.

However, a surge of blood light struck out of the blue from the bushes on the side, aimed directly at the carriage.

Qin Niu was always on his guard, naturally not allowing the Infant Demon to harm his wife and Xiao Qing.

He swung his Ink Blade quickly toward the blood light.

In this crucial moment, Green Ox unexpectedly cooperated skillfully with his master. It also shot out a beam of golden light from the tip of its horn, hitting the blood light dead center.

With Green Ox’s help, Qin Niu’s strike successfully hit the target.

Not bad, he achieved an Explosive Slash Effect.

As his Slash Martial Skill continued to improve, coupled with the Ink Blade’s power increasing several times after the upgrade, now whenever he executed the Slash Martial Skill, he almost always achieved the Explosive Slash Effect.

“Wuuahh!”

The blood light let out a piercing wail like that of an infant after being struck.

Qin Niu saw a chubby infant appear within the cleaved blood light, except its face had become extremely ferocious. The face was twisted, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Its eyes were as red as blood, extremely vicious and filled with hatred.

It seemed determined not to give up until it had devoured Qin Niu.

The blood light disappeared in a flash, and the demon escaped once more.

Qin Niu remained on alert, knowing that once they escaped this forest and reached an open area, it would be much harder for the Infant Demon to ambush him.

“Everyone be alert and attack together,” Qin Niu ordered his pets sternly.

The laziness of the Red-eyed Golden Toad annoyed him enormously.

The Diamond Ink Turtle was naturally timid, and in times of danger, it was always a qualified turtle that shrank its head back into its shell.

“Master, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but if I use my Dark Night Gu-clone to plunge this area into darkness, it would actually benefit the Infant Demon. It would just hinder you. My first clone takes time to activate, and the Infant Demon is too fast. By the time I’m ready to launch the first clone, it’s already escaped,” explained the Mirage Insect, worried that Qin Niu might have a poor opinion of it.

At this moment, the Infant Demon began to mount another attack.

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

The crying of the demon could be heard throughout the forest, coming from all directions.

The sound was so irritating to the ear that it caused confusion and dizziness.

Inside the carriage, the two women clutched their ears but still couldn’t withstand it. Wang Wanyan’s face was pale as she huddled in the corner of the carriage. Xiao Qing was right beside her.

Even under these circumstances, Xiao Qing still hadn’t forgotten her duty. She gripped the treasured sword firmly, protecting her mistress.

“Roar!”

Green Ox stretched its neck and chanted towards the front.

Its chanting was like the roar of a tiger and the chant of a dragon, capable of breaking through evil barriers, illusions, and demonic sounds.

The wailing of the Infant Demon stopped abruptly as the gray mist was scattered by the Dragon Chant.

Qin Niu vaguely saw a cluster of blood light hidden within the crown of an oak tree to his front left.

“Lazy Ox, over there, get it!”

As Qin Niu called Green Ox to deal with the Infant Demon using the golden light, he also leaped vigorously from the carriage, slashing his blade at the blood light.

The Infant Demon, sensing danger, tried desperately to escape.

Unfortunately, the golden light from Green Ox was faster, hitting it directly, causing its form to become sluggish.

Qin Niu’s blade struck the blood light fiercely.

He had put all his strength into this blow, and it produced both the Rupture and the Explosive Slash effects.

“Quack!”

The Infant Demon let out a shrill, pitiful wail as the blood light was viciously split apart. A chubby little hand was severed and fell from the sky.

The tongue of the Red-eyed Golden Toad shot out, grasping the severed arm.

“Quack!”

It quickly released the severed limb.

When its tongue had caught the arm, it was as if it had grabbed a red-hot iron, emitting puffs of white smoke and sizzling sounds.

This immensely evil Infant Demon was truly formidable.

Qin Niu saw the severed arm flying back towards the Infant Demon and hurriedly swung his blade horizontally to strike.

Having suffered a major blow, the Infant Demon was completely enraged.

It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and spewed out a mass of black gas that solidified like a substance. That black gas changed with the wind and quickly formed an enormous baby phantom.

That phantom produced black chains that wrapped towards Qin Niu.

“Slash!”

Qin Niu, with the Ink Blade in hand, wasn’t afraid of these evil things at all.

Because the Ink Blade itself was a nefarious and fierce weapon.

He slashed at the incoming black chains, and though they were not severed, the Ink Blade drew them in, absorbing them into the blade itself.

Could these be the Infant Demon’s soul?

Qin Niu suddenly understood.

Indeed, it was the Infant Demon’s misfortune that many of its tactics were restrained by Qin Niu’s Ink Blade.

The Ink Blade could consume souls; it had devoured the soul of the Mysterious Gu Master last time. Later it also consumed the soul of the Scorpion Demon.

This Infant Demon was foolish to the extreme to use its demonic soul to attack Qin Niu.

However, demonic souls were formless, changeable, and indeed held tremendous power against ordinary Spirit Qi Realm Experts.

And seeing as the Infant Demon’s demonic soul was immensely vast, able to transform into hundreds of black chains to attack its enemies, it must have often used this move to kill its foes.

“Green Demon Bee, this Infant Demon is cold and evil, just to your taste. Eat it for me.”

Qin Niu directly ordered the Green Demon Bee to attack.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The demonic soul of the Infant Demon was firmly caught by the Ink Blade, which was slowly consuming it, while it struggled in vain, unable to break free.

This made Qin Niu grow increasingly confident.

He continuously urged his cultivation power, accelerating the consumption of the demonic soul.

At Qin Niu’s command, the entire swarm of Green Demon Bees mobilized. They quickly formed the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation in the air, trapping the blood light securely within it.
