The swarm of bees forming a special battle array immediately caused the black-robed cultivator's expression to change drastically!

"These are bees controlled by a cultivator!"

Only spirit insects controlled by a cultivator can form such a battle array, and it must be an extremely powerful insect-controlling cultivator to achieve this!

Even he could not achieve such precise control and training over demonic insects.

Spirit insects stronger than his demonic ones, combined with an insect-controlling cultivator exceeding him, pose a danger that needs no further elaboration.

What's more terrifying was that he still couldn't locate the insect-controlling cultivator!

Doesn't this mean the insect-controlling cultivator's strength far surpasses his own?

This realization made him feel like he'd kicked an iron plate this time.

But the black-robed cultivator couldn't understand how such a strong presence could exist in the trashy place of Zone D in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range! And an insect-controlling cultivator, no less!

Yet he had no extra time to react.

Because the swarm of bees had already launched their attack!

They formed a series of battle arrays, perfectly utilizing their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

Under this battle array, no matter what angle the Blood Mosquitos and Corrosive Water Flies attacked from, they would be hit by these bees!

The next moment, a scene that made the black-robed cultivator's eyes turn blood-red unfolded!

"Damn it!"

Under the battle array of high-speed ring-cutting bees, with a squadron of ten bees, they pounced into the army of Blood Mosquitos and Corrosive Water Flies like tigers among sheep.

One by one, the demonic insects were quickly sliced into corpses under the blade wings of the high-speed ring-cutting bees, their highly poisonous stingers and piercing mouthparts rendered completely useless, thoroughly restrained by the bees' blade wings.

Watching this scene made the black-robed cultivator's heart bleed!

These were demonic insects he had painstakingly contracted at great cost and effort, now being slaughtered so easily!

It was known that these two kinds of demonic insects combined required even a ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivator to approach cautiously, yet under the attack of these bees, they were like lambs to the slaughter!

Originally, his demonic insects had a chance to win, even against multiple opponents, because he could perceive that the bees' defenses could be broken by his demonic insects, but the bees forming the battle array perfectly avoided their weaknesses, maximizing the power of their blade wings.

Even though he was boiling with murderous intent, he didn't dare to recall his demonic insects and instead turned to flee.

He feared that if he didn't run now, he'd have no chance!

The insect-controlling cultivator hadn't even shown themselves yet!

But would Qi Ping give him the chance to escape?

"Trying to run? No way!"

Under Qi Ping's command, two hundred high-speed ring-cutting bees immediately dispersed to pursue him.

It was now confirmed that these two types of late-tier one demonic insects posed no threat to the high-speed ring-cutting bees in battle formation.

Sporadic fighters stood no chance against a regular army's combat strength, not to mention the individual power was already restrained by the high-speed ring-cutting bees.

Even just two hundred high-speed ring-cutting bees were enough to deal with the remaining demonic insects.

For a seventh-layer Qi Refining black-robed cultivator, Qi Ping would not let him escape, as who knows if it would bring back more and stronger enemies.

Wiping him out completely was the right path!

Thus, under Qi Ping's command, the two hundred high-speed ring-cutting bees swiftly gave chase.

With the speed of the high-speed ring-cutting bees, it didn't take long to catch up with the seventh-layer Qi Refining black-robed cultivator.

"Front, back, left, right, above... Surround and attack on all sides without gaps! Avoid frontal assaults..."

Under Qi Ping's command, the high-speed ring-cutting bees did not immediately attack but first completed an all-surrounding encirclement.

Being a cultivator himself, Qi Ping knew best where the weak spots of the human race cultivators were.

He also understood that most cultivators had some trump cards, perhaps this mysterious black-robed cultivator had a trump card capable of causing fatal harm to the high-speed ring-cutting bees.

Therefore, an all-round encirclement was the best choice at this time.

"Attack in groups of fifty from all directions!"

Under Qi Ping's command, fifty high-speed ring-cutting bees launched attacks from every direction.

Seeing this scene, the black-robed cultivator was visibly flustered, surrounded by such a formation, even with some powerful attack trump card, there was no chance to escape alive...

Facing the attack, he summoned five flying swords, forming a five-element sword array directed at Qi Ping's high-speed ring-cutting bees.

"It's actually sword control technique and a sword array!" Qi Ping was startled.

Luckily, he had transformed into a high-speed ring-cutting bee and hid at a distance; otherwise, being discovered by this cultivator would have been dangerous.

Because even though the high-speed ring-cutting bees' defenses were not afraid of flying swords, they couldn't withstand the flying swords of the black-robed cultivator aimed at Qi Ping; the size disparity led to too great a power difference.

To ensure safety, Qi Ping even had several high-speed ring-cutting bees hide like himself, just to lessen his uniqueness.

"Good thing I turned into a high-speed ring-cutting bee and hid!" Qi Ping felt immensely grateful inside.

Otherwise, if a late-stage Qi Refining sword array attacked him, he couldn't block even a single sword!

"But if this black-robed cultivator has only this much, the battle should end soon!"

Though flying swords were mighty, the speed of a seventh-layer Qi Refining flying sword seemed unable to match the speed of the high-speed ring-cutting bees, nor could it guard against their all-encompassing attack.

So, the final result was self-evident.

The black-robed cultivator's sword array could only defend against one direction of attack, and soon, under the assault of the high-speed ring-cutting bees, gruesome wounds started to appear continuously on the black-robed cultivator's body.

The black-robed cultivator's spiritual shield and physical body couldn't withstand the high-speed cutting of the blade wings.

After a fierce struggle, the black-robed cultivator ultimately became a corpse covered in ghastly scars.

Especially at the back of the neck, the primary focus of the high-speed ring-cutting bees, where nearly half of the neck was sliced open.

"Yet this sword array technique is quite remarkable..."

Because even though the black-robed cultivator hadn't fully mastered the sword array, it still unexpectedly killed more than a dozen high-speed ring-cutting bees.

"But no matter how remarkable, it's mine now!"

Suppressing his inner joy and excitement, Qi Ping first had the high-speed ring-cutting bees check the surroundings to ensure no other cultivators were drawn in before reverting to his human form, swiftly collecting the black-robed cultivator's corpse and belongings, as well as the demonic insects scattered on the ground, even wrapping and collecting traces on the ground with spiritual power to avoid detection by the patrol guards of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

The only slightly unpleasant part was that Qi Ping experienced his first streaking in two lifetimes, but fortunately, no one saw it.

After returning, Qi Ping found a deep pit to bury the black-robed cultivator's corpse and miscellaneous items before excitedly inventorying the spoils.

First were the black-robed cultivator's five middle-grade magical artifact flying swords; these were middle-grade magical artifact flying swords in a set.

According to the price of middle-grade set flying swords, this alone was enough for Qi Ping to make a fortune!

In addition, over a thousand demonic insect corpses could also be worth quite a few spirit stones.

However, what shocked Qi Ping even more lay ahead; after painstakingly erasing the divine sense imprint from the black-robed cultivator's storage bag, Qi Ping was utterly stunned by its contents!

"Now I have the spirit stones to buy a high-level spirit beast..."
