Chapter 1690: Controlling the Insect King
"Fire … Fire … Fire Qilin Insect King!"
The silk-robed cultivator stuttered when he saw the huge Fire Qilin Insect at the back. He even revealed a terrified expression.
The silk-robed cultivator's perception was powerful, so he could naturally sense the Fire Qilin Insect King's cultivation.
A half-step Saint!
The Fire Qilin Insect King was a half-step Saint.
However, this half-step Saint wasn't the same as an ordinary human half-step Saint.
Even two human half-step Saints might not be a match for it.
"If even a Fire Qilin Insect King can be nurtured, it looks like there's more than one Qilin skeleton in the Qilin Cave."
The human demon wasn't frightened by the Fire Qilin Insect King. In fact, he even revealed an excited expression.
One had to know that this Fire Qilin Insect King was a genuine half-step Saint.
For it to nurture a half-step Saint Fire Qilin Insect King, one could imagine how many Qilin skeletons there were in the Qilin Cave.
"Leave the Fire Kylin Bug King to me. You deal with the rest of the Fire Kylin Bugs. Also, protect Ning Yue."
The human demon didn't waste any time. He immediately charged toward the army of Fire Qilin Insects.
"Are you toying with me?!"
The silk-robed cultivator nearly died from anger when he saw the human demon charge out.
The human demon was a Saint, so dealing with a half-step Saint Fire Qilin Insect King shouldn't be a problem.
However, he was different.
Although he was a half-step Saint, he could only display the strength of a peak sky supreme.
In other words, he couldn't deal with dozens of Fire Qilin Insects at the same time while ensuring Ning Yue's safety.
The silk-robed cultivator's eyes turned as he tried to think of a countermeasure.
Whoosh!
However, time waited for no one.
What happened next caused the silk-robed cultivator's expression to change drastically.
When the human demon charged into the swarm of Fire Qilin Insects, dozens of them attacked him in a frenzy.
If the Fire Qilin Insects' target was the human demon, the silk-robed cultivator's expression wouldn't have changed so much.
Most importantly, the Fire Qilin Insects only chased after the human demon for a few seconds before stopping.
Because the human demon was already very close to the Fire Qilin Insect King, the dozens of Fire Qilin Insects didn't dare approach the human demon out of fear.
These Fire Qilin Beetles didn't dare to approach the Fire Qilin Beetle King or the Human Devil, but that didn't mean that they would stay where they were.
It was clear that these Fire Kirin Insects all turned their heads and rushed towards the embroidered clothed cultivator and Ning Yue.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the numerous Fire Qilin Insects that were continuously approaching him, the embroidered clothed martial artist could not help but quietly curse. He immediately pulled Ning Yue behind him and said in a deep voice, "You better stay here obediently. Do not go anywhere without my permission!"
Swoosh!
In order to ensure Ning Yue's safety, the embroidered clothed martial artist did not hesitate to use his Yuan Qi to arrange a protective barrier around Ning Yue's body.
On one hand, the embroidered robed martial artist had to illuminate the Qilin Cave. On the other hand, he had to consume his origin energy to help Ning Yue set up a protective barrier. On the other hand, he had to deal with dozens of Fire Kirin insects.
With these three matters piled up together, the embroidered clothed martial artist was unable to voice his bitterness.
Fortunately, the embroidered robed cultivator was a half-Sage and had more Essence in his body. Otherwise, he would have died if he had to deal with all three at once.
"Kill!"
After arranging everything, the embroidered clothed martial artist completely let loose. He charged into the army of Fire Kirin insects and began a great battle with them.
Crack!
The embroidered clothed martial artist was worthy of being a half-Sage expert. Although he was unable to display the combat power of a half-Sage, he was still able to kill a Sky Supreme Fire Kirin insect in a single exchange.
There were dozens of Fire Kirin Beetles, each with a cultivation base ranging from early to late Sky Supreme.
The embroidered clothed martial artist killed an early Sky Supreme Fire Kirin insect in one move.
Rumble!
By killing a Fire Kirin insect, the embroidered clothed martial artist had completely alerted the enemy.
The remaining dozens of Fire Kirin insects knew of the embroidered clothed martial artist's strength, so they were extremely careful in the following battle.
The Fire Kirin insects' caution made the embroidered clothed martial artist very vexed. He was vexed at his rashness.
He had not expected these Fire Kirin insects to have intelligence. If he had known, he definitely would not have alerted the enemy and exposed his strength ahead of time.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The embroidered clothed martial artist could only brace himself and fight with the remaining Fire Kirin insects.
The embroidered clothed martial artist fought with the Fire Kirin insects, while the human demon dealt with the Fire Kirin Insect King.
In this area, Ning Yue was the most carefree.
However, Ning Yue might look carefree on the surface, but that was not the case.
He had been secretly observing the battle between the human demon and the Fire Kirin Insect King.
In terms of strength, the human demon was definitely stronger than the Fire Kirin Insect King.
For some reason, the human demon did not choose to use brute force to kill the Fire Kirin Insect King. Instead, he chose to slowly tangle with it.
"I got it!"
Suddenly, Ning Yue thought of a possibility.
The reason why the human demon did not choose to defeat the Fire Kirin Insect King was definitely because he wanted to subdue it!
This was the most likely possibility, and in Ning Yue's opinion, it was the only possibility.
"Why does the human demon want to subdue the Fire Kirin Insect King?"
Ning Yue muttered with a slight frown.
In truth, subduing the Fire Kirin Insect King was a thankless task for Ning Yue.
Firstly, the human demon was a Saint. Although there was an energy seal in his body, with his strength, he could definitely find enough energy before the seal broke.
Secondly.
Subduing the Fire Kirin Insect King was simply too difficult. It was even harder than ascending to the heavens.
In any case, Ning Yue did not believe that the human demon could subdue the Fire Kirin Insect King.
"Dozens of Sky Supreme Realm Fire Kirin Insects."
Ning Yue's gaze shifted from the battle between the human demon and the Fire Kirin Insect King to another battlefield.
The embroidered-clothed cultivator was worthy of being called a semi-sage expert. He had alerted the Fire Kirin Beetles, and had put them on guard. But, he still had the upper hand.
If the situation dragged on like this, there was a high chance that the cultivator in embroidered clothes could defeat or even kill the dozens of Fire Kirin Insects.
Ning Yue's attention was not on whether the cultivator could kill the Fire Kirin Insects, but on how he could devour them!
Ning Yue was currently an Eighth Grade Earth Supreme. If he could devour all of the Fire Kirin Insects, there was a high chance that his cultivation would rise to a terrifying Ninth Grade Earth Supreme.
Of course, it was extremely difficult to devour the Fire Kirin Insects under such circumstances. Ning Yue was only thinking about it and had no intention of putting it into practice.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! Suddenly, a change occurred.
Dozens of Fire Kirin Insects were originally fighting with the cultivator in embroidered clothes. But soon, the Fire Kirin Insects started killing each other.
The Fire Kirin Insects with higher cultivation frantically devoured the Fire Kirin Insects with lower cultivation.
In just an instant, more than half of the Fire Kirin Insects were devoured.
Furthermore, the remaining Fire Kirin Insects were decreasing at a visible rate.
"What's going on?"
The sudden change confused the brocade-clothed martial artist and Ning Yue.
However, this confusion did not last long. Soon, Ning Yue discovered the problem.
After the Fire Kirin Insects devoured their companions, their strength had a qualitative leap.
