Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
When the short-haired self-cultivator killed off the hundredth black hell ant, his strength and vital essence had depleted quite a bit. As a result, his speed had decreased.
Right at this moment, the two black hell ants behind the short-haired self-cultivator suddenly bit and punctured his leg. The bites left two holes on his leg, and blood started gushing out from them.
The short-hair self-cultivator let out a loud painful groan.
The teeth of the black hell ants were sharp as daggers. They stabbed into the flesh of the short-haired self-cultivator and tore off a piece of flesh from his leg. In an instant, the two black ants had swallowed the flesh of the self-cultivator.
The short-haired self-cultivator's face was distorted by rage. He abruptly turned around and struck out his sword, killing off the black ants behind his back.
However, the short-haired self-cultivator forgot that he was completely surrounded by the black hell ants in all possible directions.
While he turned around to take care of the two ants behind him, those that were in front of him rushed forward and jumped at him together. They had taken hold of every inch of his body and enclosed him completely.
The black hell ants started biting into the body of the short-haired self-cultivator relentlessly.
The short-haired self-cultivator gave out a agonized shriek as he repeatedly swung the sword in his hand. He wanted to kill off the black hell ants, but there were simply too many of them.
Within moments, a once strong self-cultivator had become a pile of white bones. His flesh and blood had been devoured by the black hell ants.
As they saw this, all the other self-cultivators were horrified and began to step back. They looked as though they had just witnessed the most horrifying thing in the world.
Obviously, Flower Fairy, Xianzhi Qin, Fengwu Cao, and Ziyue Jiang were all women, and as women, they feared two things the most - snakes and ants. The fact that these ants were carnivores and cannibals made them even more terrifying.
Due to fear, Flower Fairy's face had turned pale, and her body was trembling.
The short-haired self-cultivator that just met his fate was actually stronger than the women were. If he was no match for the black hell ants, then the women would not stand a chance against the ants either. In fact, they would probably die an even more terrible death.
Flower Fairy looked to Black Puppy and asked, "What do we do now?"
Black Puppy frowned and responded in slight annoyance, "Stop nagging me. If it weren't for protecting you guys, Sky-Devouring Snake and I would have made it to the other side already."
Flower Fairy was irked by Black Puppy's words. But knowing that Black Puppy was telling the truth and that it was more powerful than she was, she held her tongue.
At this moment, a calm voice was heard, "Puppy, are you looking to be beat up? How dare you use that tone with Flower Fairy?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Flower Fairy's face lit up. She quickly turned around and saw that Qingfeng Li was running towards them at an extremely fast speed. A moment ago, he was still a few hundred meters away, and now, he was already right in front of her.
"Big Brother Li, it is really you! Are you alright? The Taotie didn't kill you?" Flower Fairy asked.
Qingfeng Li answered with a laugh, "Taotie couldn't kill me. I am invincible. Sister Fairy, you have grown even more beautiful in just a few days."
Qingfeng Li's flirtatious words brought a shade of red onto Flower Fairy's face. She became shy.
The members of the Wolf Fang Team smiled. They knew that the more dangerous and intense the situation, the more their leader - Qingfeng Li would like to joke around. His jokes could help others relax and forget about the danger they were facing.
Seeing Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy nodded its head awkwardly. It knew that Flower Fairy was one of Qingfeng Li's soulmates, or should it say, she was kind of Qingfeng Li's woman, too. Hence, scolding Flower Fairy would be like insulting Qingfeng Li.
Black Puppy walked over to Qingfeng Li, wagging its tail, "See how well I protected your women and friends? None of them are hurt even a tiny bit. I am only open to accepting rewards, not criticism, pkay?"
Watching as Black Puppy pleased Qingfeng Li, Sky-Devouring Snake shot a disdainful glance at it and said, "Puppy, you were scolding Qingfeng Li's woman just moments ago. We all heard it. So quit kissing up to him, it's too late."
"Damn you darned snake! How dare you undermine my work like that? You want to get beat up, huh?" Black Puppy reached out his paw and smacked the head of Sky-Devouring Snake, leaving a big bump on it.
Sky-Devouring Snake gave out a shriek as he caressed the big bump on its head. It felt the pain coming through.
"You damn dog, how dare you hit me? Prepare to die!" Sky-Devouring Snake began wagging its tail, whipping up an explosion in the air. The explosion turned into a flash of black projections, shooting towards Black Puppy's body.
The snake tail whipped onto Black Puppy's body, taking off with it some dog hair.
Black Puppy certainly did not want to be outdone. It started swinging its paws once again and at the same time channeling the vital essence in its body. The battle became frenzied and heated quickly.
Qingfeng Li was left speechless and shaking his head. The two could not have picked a worse time to fight each other. With all those black hell ants surrounding them, they had a very dire situation to deal with.
"Stop, both of you! If you dare to fight again, I will seriously beat you up individually," Qingfeng Li threatened Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.
Qingfeng Li's threat worked; both Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake stopped. These two were usually very arrogant and did not see eye-to-eye with each other, but when in front of Qingfeng Li, they became well-behaved and obedient.
That was because Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake could feel that Qingfeng Li had become strong beyond words. It would take no effort for him to beat them up. As ancient godly beasts, their hunches had never failed them.
"Big Brother Li, look! The black hell ants are coming at us!" Flower Fairy exclaimed as she pointed with her finger at the black hell ants in front of her.
The few thousands of black hell ants had been motionless initially, but now they started crawling towards the self-cultivators on the other side.
Besides the Wolf Fang Team, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Flower Fairy and the others, there were also a few thousand self-cultivators standing along Qingfeng Li. These self-cultivators were all masters of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and Spirit King Realm.
Seeing that the black hell ants were aiming for them, the self-cultivators were terrified and scurried backward. Some of them had pale white faces, and some even let out screeches.
Among them, some of the smart ones hurriedly took cover behind Qingfeng Li's back.
They knew that Qingfeng Li was the strongest among them. Because they had seen with their own eyes the battles Qingfeng Li had with Jianghuang Zhao, Binghuang Dao, and Yihuang Shou, and Qingfeng Li was not in any way outdone by any of them. He was definitely a supreme master.
Moreover, some of the self-cultivators saw that Qingfeng Li had been consumed by the Taotie; yet, Qingfeng Li was now standing right in front of them, alive and well.
What it meant was that even the Taotie could not kill off Qingfeng Li. He was undefeatable and a one-in-a-billion master.
