Chapter 198: Devil Needles Showing Might, Gang Qi Being Ferocious

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The insect cloud above the inn began to fade. Meanwhile, the tiny insect carcasses in the room had stacked up to Junior Leopard’s knees. Only the place where Junior Leopard was standing was not affected due to the green light’s cover.

“What a weird bead!” Junior Leopard, who had fully recovered his mind, looked at the scene in his room and marveled privately. It never occurred to him that when he got the bead, it could cause such a stir.

Moreover, it was so fantastic as well.

The green light around him did not lighten anymore, but the amount of toxins the bead absorbed was far from its limit.

Junior Leopard used his divine thoughts to sense that though these toxins now almost filled the whole bead, there was always a tiny bit of unfilled space. Moreover, that tiny bit of unfilled space was absorbed by this Emerald Pearl, which Junior Leopard saw carefully.

The more toxins that the Emerald Pearl absorbed, the greener it became.

“It’s almost over. The guys outside should be ready to do it!” Sensing that the bead absorbed more and more toxins and that there were more and more insect carcasses, with a slight movement of his sleeve, Junior Leopard had taken out the 49 Demon Devil Needles.

The cultivation of the four people outside was good. There were two Level Six masters and the worst was a Level Four master. As for the last person, Junior Leopard could only feel his spirit and could not detect his cultivation, but he was at least a Level Seven expert.

Although Junior Leopard was arrogant, he never thought that he would be at an advantage over such an excellent team with so many masters.

However, honestly, he didn’t worry too much, because he had the Three Realms Division, which was an incredible special technique. Even if he could not beat them, he could run away.

With the Three Realms Division and the Yanfu Inner Strength, he would have the chance to run away, even if he encountered a Level Nine expert.

Was there any Level Nine expert in the small South Yuezhou State?

Junior Leopard would never believe this.

When the last ray of the poison gas was absorbed by the Detoxicating Bead, Junior Leopard subconsciously opened his mouth and then the bead flew into his mouth. Oddly enough, after entering his mouth, the bead disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

At the same time, in the mysterious space between his eyes, a green bead appeared just below the eyeball in the middle of the air, one big and one small, adding radiance and beauty to each other.

Exhaling a long breath, instead of staying in this mysterious space, since he felt that the four outside had come in, Junior Leopard returned his divine thoughts to his body.

They moved cautiously, with the two Level Six masters in front and the Level Four master along with the mysterious expert behind. They walked straight to Junior Leopard’s room and stopped.

“May I ask who’s in the room? I’m Ruan Xiuwen from the Governor Mansion of Yuezhou, begging for an audience!”

At the front of the room, Ruan Xiuwen asked in a clear loud voice, cupping his hands.

“Ruan Xiuwen?” Junior Leopard focused his gaze on a single point. He had heard the name. Ruan Xiuwen was the legitimate son of the Governor in Yuezhou, and one of the celebrities of the younger generation. It was heard that he was practicing under a mysterious expert in South China and that his cultivation had reached Level Four.

“Is the mysterious expert outside the door his teacher?” Junior Leopard considered in his heart. “It’s Young Master Ruan. What does Young Master Ruan want to see me about?”

His voice was calm and neutral with a trace of cold as if he was dismissive of this Young Master who was a bully and was a great deterrent in South Yuezhou State.

A chill flash pasted Ruan Xiuwen’s eyes, “You just caused an anomaly in the inn. How can I turn a blind eye to it?”

“Now the anomaly has gone, so you can go!” It was the same kind of cold, repellent tone.

“How dare you?”

The two Level Six masters in front rebuked with one voice, and one of them entered the room.

The door and windows had been destroyed by the endless insects and the room’s status was obscured by a thick layer of insect carcasses. At this point, the insect carcasses in the room had already piled up to shoulder height. The four men stood outside looking at the insect carcasses, all with a dark expression, except for the old man.

As the Level Six master that entered the door fiercely stepped forward, his Internal Qi was galloping like a wild wind that swept the insect carcasses in front of him to two sides.

From this process, you could see his strong control of Internal Qi. In common places, the wind must blow up the sand, however, the Internal Qi under his control did not raise a little bit of the surrounding insect carcasses that were tinier than dust, but rather simply moved them toward both sides. In the blink of an eye, a passageway was swept out.

Almost at the same time, the grey-clothed old man suddenly moved like lightning and darted toward the room.

Junior Leopard just sneered, and with a wave of his sleeve, the 49 Demon Devil Needles shot towards the old man.

“Oh, no!” With the help and protection of the Gang Qi, the old man moved fast and didn’t care much about Junior Leopard. Only when the 49 Demon Devil Needles shot at his Gang Qi did he then begin to react. His expression instantly grew dark.

Gang Qi was a unique skill of attack and defense. Once your cultivation reached Level Seven and you had condensed Gang Qi, ordinary weapons couldn’t harm you. It was not an exaggeration to say that you were invulnerable. Even if thousands of armies surrounded you tightly, ordinary weapons could not break the Gang Qi’s defense. It would not be easy to kill thousands of soldiers in order to win, but it would be easy to get rid of the battle array and kill the general.

Therefore, once your Gang Qi had condensed, when you face an expert whose cultivation was under Level Seven, you were almost invincible. It was just because of this reason that the grey-robed old man circulated his Gang Qi and undauntedly rushed towards Junior Leopard.

He rushed until his Gang Qi came into contact with the Demon Devil Needles. Feeling the insidious maliciousness burst out from the needles, his body suddenly froze in the air and then he shouted with a low voice, which almost used all his strength. His body huddled up and he summoned the biggest defense function of Gang Qi, barely blocking the 49 Demon Devil Needles. However, they were not completely blocked and the Demon Devil Needles were still firmly on their way towards his Gang Qi, which had condensed so much that they almost become a substance.

“Come on, do it. Kill him! Be careful of his needle-shaped celestial device!” The grey-robed old man hissed. He knew it was the best chance.

He was caught flat-footed by Junior Leopard, and likewise, Junior Leopard’s Demon Devil Needles were trapped by his Gang Qi. Although the Demon Devil Needles were very powerful and were still piercing through his Gang Qi, they could not cause any real injury to him for a short time. Their biggest advantage was their weight of numbers. As long as the other three people attacked him, Junior Leopard was bound to get caught up in a dilemma.

Junior Leopard was considering whether to continue to attack the old man with the Demon Devil Needles under the control of his divine thoughts or to be distracted and get entangled with the other three. Once he was entangled with them, he would not be able to control the Demon Devil Needles. Junior Leopard was not confident that he could handle two Level Six masters and a Level Four master easily. They were bound to get into a fight. By that time he would have no time to control the Demon Devil Needles. Then the needles would inevitably fall into the hands of the old man.

This was why the old man, even though his Gang Qi had not completely trapped Junior Leopard’s needle-shaped celestial device, asked the three men to kill Junior Leopard.

It was a celestial device!

Who wouldn’t want it?

In particular, these kinds of insidious celestial devices that could imperceptibly kill people. Once he refined them successfully, his strength would be more than doubled.

Therefore, when he discovered that Junior Leopard was using the Demon Devil Needles, he immediately wanted to seize them and no longer preserved his strength.

Hearing the old man’s shout, the three masters, including Ruan Xiuwen, rushed in without thinking, straight at Junior Leopard.

“Hum!” Junior Leopard’s expression suddenly changed. In a moment, he had understood the old man’s intention. However, he was not a rookie that could be bullied by everyone. The old man only trapped 41 Demon Devil Needles, and he could use the rest of the eight needles, which were outside of the old man’s Gang Qi, at will.

These eight Demon Devil Needles were the key to victory.

In such circumstances, Junior Leopard was naturally not hesitant. With a sharp wave of his sleeve, the Green Jade Qian Yuan Internal Qi in his External Elixir rolled up a whirlwind and a roomful of insect carcasses was blown up without the control of the airflow.

The whole room was shrouded when the insect carcasses, which were tinier than dust were blown about. Under its cover, the remaining eight Demon Devil Needles galloped off.

The three were not weak. As soon as they saw that Junior Leopard rolled up the insect carcasses, they thought of the old man’s warning and they knew it was bad. They then immediately waved the weapons in their hands to tightly protect themselves.

There were a few tiny tinklings of gold iron collisions. Six Demon Devil Needles were bounced off of their weapons and were caught up in Junior Leopard’s sleeve. The other two, however, went through the gaps of the weapons of the two Level Six masters and hit them in between the eyebrows directly.

This was the difference between a celestial device and a normal weapon. A celestial device could move with the will of its master. Even if it had left its master, it could be controlled at will by its master’s divine thoughts, especially needle-shaped celestial devices like the Demon Devil Needles which were especially insidious.

The two men were the best among the Level Six masters, their cultivation was no lower than that of Junior Leopard’s. However, faced with the uncanny needle-shaped celestial device, they were totally unable to fight back.

Their line of sight was blocked by the boundless insect carcasses that Junior Leopard stirred up, and their spiritual minds had been greatly reduced due to the influence. Though they had been covered with weapons, how could they be well protected under such circumstances?

Therefore, in an instant, between their eyebrows were pierced by Junior Leopard’s Demon Devil Needles. They just felt a chill between their eyebrows, and their brains were suddenly frozen and destroyed by Evil Qi. But due to inertia, they continued to wave their weapons a few times, then stopped, and fell to the ground unable to stand up again, stirring up a layer of insect carcasses.

This was the evil of the Demon Devil Needles. The needles had very deep Evil Qi. Even if you were only pierced by one needle, you would be attacked by the Evil Qi and die within a short time. It was hard to treat. If you were hit in the vital part of your body such as between the eyebrows, or in the heart, you were going to die on the spot with no chance of treatment, just like the two Level Six masters.

As for Ruan Xiuwen, he dared not move. Because there was another Demon Devil Needle just against his forehead and the Evil Qi emanating from the needle was attacking him. His handsome face had already become pale and his body also stiffened. He no longer dared to make any action.

After having killed the two Level Six masters with the Demon Devil Needles and pinning down Ruan Xiuwen, Junior Leopard could finally handle the grey-robed old man.

Everything in the room could be hidden from others, but could not be hidden from the grey-robed old man who was a Level Seven expert after all. Having seen that Junior Leopard killed the two Level Six masters with the Demon Devil Needles and pinned down a Level Four master, his expression sharply changed and there was a horrified look in his eyes.

Although he knew that a suitable celestial device could greatly improve the individual’s combat capability, it was the first time for him to see a person to kill two Level Six masters and pin down a Level Four master in such an easy way. Therefore, the greed in his heart was even worse.

“A Level Six master has such a power with this celestial device. Now, my cultivation has reached to Level Seven and my Gang Qi has been refined. There’s no reason for me to be inferior to him!”

With this thought, he did not know that he was worse than Junior Leopard indeed.

It was only by his divine thoughts that Junior Leopard could bring the power of the Demon Devil Needles into such a state. After many encounters, his divine thoughts were not weaker than a Level Seven or Level Eight expert’s. However, as an ordinary Level Seven expert, the old man’s divine thoughts were much weaker than Junior Leopard’s. Therefore, even if he got the Demon Devil Needles, he could not give them more utility than Junior Leopard did.

Of course, he wouldn’t believe it if he didn’t experience it personally. The divine thoughts of a Level Seven expert were weaker than that of a Level Six master? That was a joke in his opinion.

“Let the Young Master off, leave the Poison-absorbing Green Bead and this set of the celestial device. Then I’ll leave you alive!”

Said the old man to Junior Leopard in a hoarse voice, without looking at the two Level Six masters on the ground.

“The bead is called ‘Poison-absorbing Green Bead’!” Junior Leopard said in his heart and there was a sneer on his face, “Is a Level Seven expert that great?”

He hastened his divine thoughts and the speed of the Demon Devil Needles, which were trapped by the old man’s Gang Qi and were slowly moving, quickened, “You have to pass through my test first!”

“You don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!” The old man gave a snort, and then the grey Gang Qi fiercely surged and a foul odor from his Gang Qi filled the air.

As soon as he smelled the odor, Junior Leopard had a slight giddy spell. “No!” he shouted privately. However, before he could respond, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead in the space between his eyes, flashed and a cyan chill covered his body. The feeling of giddiness and the foul odor around him disappeared.

However, the poison gas was only the old man’s first attack. While surging, the grey Gang Qi was divided into three strands. One of them continued to trap Junior Leopard, while the other two fell into two grey whips to whip at Junior Leopard violently.

There was a blast of odor rolling up in the whip.

Junior Leopard’s face became grim. He pulled out the Emerald Pearl Sword and fought back with no weakness. The Silver Moon Sword Technique was launched immediately, shining brightly in the room and entangling the old man’s Gang Qi.

Honestly, Junior Leopard was not afraid of the old man’s Gang Qi, because the old man’s Gang Qi was not on the same level of Xue Wuya’s and Wang She’s. Besides, the Emerald Pearl Sword in his hand was not ordinary and the Silver Moon Sword Technique was a superb sword technique as well. The Sword Qi cleared by the Bright Moon Deifying Technique was not necessarily better than the Gang Qi, but it wasn’t that worse off.

Two grey whips with Gang Qi were surging and churning like two huge grey snakes, while the silver splendor generated from the silver sword was like a light curtain. Though the silver splendor could not kill the two grey snakes, the snakes could not break into his sword light, which turned the exchange into a war of attrition.

“This guy is crazy! He wages a war of attrition with me who possesses Gang Qi!”

Seeing that the situation was in a war of attrition, the grey-robed old man was not anxious and was even relieved. To fight with a Level Six master, a Level Seven expert was most fearless about consumption. While the Internal Qi would be exhausted, the Gang Qi was not afraid of exhaustion.

As it was now, the fight would end when Junior Leopard’s Internal Qi was exhausted.

Junior Leopard knew that, too, but he had plans. He didn’t want to spend time with a Level Seven expert. He did not have Gang Qi, but he had fist intent.

Gradually, the two sides were in a stalemate. The sword light from the sword in Junior Leopard’s hand grew brighter and brighter, but the old man was keenly aware of the slower and slower movements of the Demon Devil Needles in his Gang Qi.

Finally, they showed a sign of stagnation.

He was pleased, but he observed it carefully out of caution and did not move immediately. Then he looked at Junior Leopard who was entangled with his Gang Qi and confirmed that he did not have any spare energy. With a wave of his sleeve, instead of rolling the Demon Devil Needles in front of him, he split a stream of airflow to rush towards Ruan Xiuwen.

The airflow instantly removed the Demon Devil Needle against Ruan Xiuwen’s forehead, and after that, it produced a suction, that rolled the Demon Devil Needle up.

He was relieved to have succeeded in getting this Demon Devil Needle into his sleeve.

“It seems that he has no spare energy to control the celestial device!”

Ruan Xiuwen, still standing, dared not move again. He was frightened by Junior Leopard.

He was totally frightened.

His cultivation was good. A Level Four master in his twenties that was numbered in the world. However, he was from a privileged background and the greater part of his cultivation depended on magic drugs. During normal times, there were some people to practice with him, but he never encountered a life and death fight, not to mention real mortal danger.

The two Level Six masters who were killed by Junior Leopard were the ones that protected him. He took them whenever he went out. What danger would he encounter?

Hence, he never felt the threat of death.

It was the first time that he faced death and felt that death was so close to him that he was totally frightened.

Even if Junior Leopard could not threaten him, he didn’t dare to take rash actions. He took two steps back with a pale face and walked out of the room, standing at the door, looking at the contest between the old man and Junior Leopard.

“A sissy!” There was a flicker of discontent in the grey-robed old man’s eyes when he saw Ruan Xiuwen withdraw. He no longer cared about him and tightened and collected his Gang Qi. The 41 Demon Devil Needles constrained by him were rolled up. There was no reaction to the 41 Demon Devil Needles, which was just the same as the one he rolled up just now. Apparently, Junior Leopard had completely abandoned his control of the celestial device.

The old man dared not take it lightly. After all, the celestial device was connected to Junior Leopard’s divine thoughts. Junior Leopard did not control it at this point, but it did not mean that he could not control it. In case he got over it, he could regain control with a little movement of his divine thoughts. This was the advantage of a celestial device that was refined and the most coveted point for the old man.

Daring not to neglect, he took a little black box out of his arms, and carefully placed the 42 Demon Devil Needles into the box. He was extremely careful during the process, for fear that the 42 small Demon Devil Needles would suddenly run riot.

The 42 Demon Devil Needles were very obedient and were well placed in the box. Then he was reassured.

After he put away the Demon Devil Needles, he felt as though a load was off of his mind.

Without the threat of the Demon Devil Needles, he could focus all his energy on Junior Leopard.

He straightened his back. His skeleton fiercely sounded like beans which were cooking, and his body suddenly became taller. With a gentle shake of his grey robe, the two grey whips of Gang Qi which were entangled with Junior Leopard returned to him and reintegrated with the Gang Qi that trapped Junior Leopard’s Demon Devil Needles just now. His body was covered in a grey mist and his grey robe began to flutter in the wind and produced a noise.

“Bloke, what else can you do? Now your time is up!” He put his hand on his waist and pulled out a real long whip as he spoke. His body was fixed and he pounced on Junior Leopard.

Junior Leopard’s eyes became grim. He knew that the old man was serious now.

A Level Seven expert with Gang Qi’s protection and holding a weapon was rushing towards a Level Six master. What would happen?

You could think about it and would know the result.

The old man and Dragon Granny both were Level Seven experts, but his strength was stronger than Dragon Granny by several times. Therefore, Junior Leopard had to spend all of his efforts to deal with him.

Raising his Emerald Pearl Sword, Junior Leopard fought with him closely. This time around, Junior Leopard fell to absolute disadvantage as soon as the fight began. The old man obviously practiced the long whip for years and his skills had reached the acme of perfection in it. He only attacked and did not defend. In the eyes of others, his movements seemed as though he wanted to die with Junior Leopard. Anyway, he had Gang Qi which could protect him. Even if Junior Leopard found his flaws, he could not break through his Gang Qi.

That a Level Seven expert fought with a Level Six master in this way, it was obvious that he depended on his advantage of Gang Qi to bully the Level Six master.

Faced with such attacks, Junior Leopard seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.
