Chapter 1666 - 1666: Ning Qianshu's Golden Silkworm Gu
Shen Qianyue saw that Ye Qing was constantly dodging, and thought he had completely suppressed Ye Qing, becoming even more arrogant."Ye, weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you backing down now? Afraid to fight me? Hahaha, come on, fight me!" As Shen Qianyue attacked, he laughed wildly with an unparalleled arrogance. Since following Corpse Ghost Dragon, his personality had changed a lot. Although he used to be cunning, at least he understood restraint. Now, he had no concept of restraint at all.
Huangfu Ziyu floated in the air, watching the exchange between Ye Qing and Shen Qianyue. She did not intervene to help. Unless Ye Qing was in danger, she wouldn't act. Otherwise, if word got out, it would just bring ridicule for the two of them attacking one person.
Luan Ping and two other Peak Masters were originally each fighting a Peak Master, and were evenly matched. However, with the addition of Ding Lianshun and Ning Qianshu to the battle, the situation drastically changed. These three Peak Masters couldn't withstand the siege of five Peak Masters and fell into a disadvantage.
"The Five Unmatches of the World, how renowned you are, but I didn't expect such despicable actions!" Luan Ping, finding himself unable to fight back, could only shout angrily: "Five Peak Masters teaming up against the three of us. Humph, even if you win, what of it? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the heroes of the world?"
If it were before, Shen Tianjun definitely wouldn't have allied with others to fight them. But now, everything was different. The matter of the Shen Family Manor had completely enraged Shen Tianjun. Revenge was now his main concern, reputation was secondary. When Luan Ping and the others killed the younger generation of the Shen Family, did they consider reputation?
"With people like you, is there any Jianghu code of conduct to speak of?" Ding Lianshun said in a deep voice: "Killing you is the best code of conduct!"
"Why waste words with them, kill them quickly!" Ning Qianshu shouted. Having fought for so long here, if Corpse Ghost Dragon came out, none of them would get away.
The other Peak Masters shared the same thought, striking even more forcefully, each move full power, clearly intending to completely eliminate these three Peak Masters here.
Luan Ping and his two companions were reclusive elders, each very powerful, and this time they risked coming out to prolong their lives. Luan Ping's Inner Strength had been absorbed by Corpse Ghost Dragon, so his strength had declined, but the other two were not weak. The three held against five Peak Masters, fighting arduously yet barely sustaining for a while. However, they all knew well that at this rate, their lives would likely end here.
"Don't fear them!" Luan Ping suddenly shouted loudly: "They fear the Grand Master is coming out and want a quick fight. Hold on a bit longer, the Grand Master will soon arrive. By then, with the Grand Master taking action, aren't these people at our mercy? When the Grand Master kills them, we'll definitely benefit!"
The other two Peak Masters, initially considering escape, were stirred up by Luan Ping's words, reigniting their fighting spirit, and began displaying their Ultimate Techniques against Shen Tianjun and his group. Though clearly not equals, they'd resolved to hold on, waiting for Corpse Ghost Dragon to come out for their great achievement!
"Still struggling!" Ning Qianshu's face turned cold, suddenly retreating a few steps, rapidly waving both hands, releasing several waves of silver needles towards Luan Ping and his companions.
"I'll take care of it!" A Peak Master on Luan Ping's side shouted, yanking off his jacket and vigorously swinging it to meet the waves of silver needles.
The silver needles, so light in weight, were blocked by the jacket, unable to penetrate, vanishing as if into the sea, completely stopped by the jacket.
"Ning Qianshu, is this all you've got?" Luan Ping laughed loudly and said: "Throwing some silver needles around to make us laugh?"
Shen Tianjun and the others continued attacking, puzzled by Ning Qianshu's actions. This move lacked any intimidation, what was Ning Qianshu doing?
Ning Qianshu was not angry at all, instead sneering: "Hmph, do you think my silver needles are so easy to catch?"
Upon hearing this, the elder who caught Ning Qianshu's silver needles suddenly turned pale. Though from an earlier era than Ning Qianshu, he knew Ning Qianshu's reputation, aware of Ning's prowess. Known as King Yan's Fret, not only was Ning a medical expert, but his use of poison was top-notch. Did the silver needles have something wrong?
However, he quickly relaxed, sneering: "Ning Qianshu, though you're a poison expert, so what? Your silver needles were all blocked by my clothes; I didn't even touch them. Moreover, I held my breath when the needles came, can your poison still harm me?"
"Is that so?" Ning Qianshu sneered coldly and suddenly pursed his lips, whispering softly, as if calling for something.
With Ning Qianshu's voice, the bottom right corner of his clothes suddenly began to shake, as if something inside was about to burst forth.
Everyone watched the situation with widened eyes, except for Ding Lianshun; no one knew what Ning Qianshu was doing.
"You... you..." Bai Li Xi stared at Ning Qianshu for a moment before suddenly exclaiming, "You... you wouldn't have raised that thing, would you?"
"What do you think?" Ning Qianshu coldly laughed, as the shaking of his hem became more vigorous. Suddenly, the hem seemed to be pushed open by something, and over a dozen small flying insects rushed out from inside.
The small flying insects weren't very large, only as thick as a pinky finger, and were golden in color with black stripes intermixed. Despite their size, when they flapped their wings, they produced a buzzing sound, showing that their power wasn't weak.
Nearby, although Ye Qing was contending with Shen Qianyue, he was also paying attention to the situation here. When he saw these small flying insects, his face changed instantly and he said in a deep voice, "Golden Silkworm Gu!?"
These small flying insects looked exactly like the Golden Silkworm Gu Ye Qing had seen in the Miao Borderlands. Of course, Ye Qing didn't know that these were merely sideline products of the Golden Silkworm Gu, half-finished, cultivated by Ning Qianshu. The true Golden Silkworm Gu wasn't like this.
Even so, as soon as the name of the Golden Silkworm Gu was uttered, everyone's complexion drastically changed. The reputation of the Golden Silkworm Gu was well-known to all, and naturally, they understood the formidable power of such an otherworldly Gu insect. If this were indeed a Golden Silkworm Gu, not to mention they were peak masters, even individuals like the Corpse Ghost Dragon would retreat while facing it!
"Ning Qianshu, you're not a Gu Mother; how could you possibly cultivate a Golden Silkworm Gu?" Luan Ping shouted loudly, "Fake, it's definitely fake!"
"Whether it's real or fake, you'll know once you try!" Ning Qianshu laughed coldly, "You're right; I'm not a Gu Mother, so naturally, I can't control the Golden Silkworm Gu. However, earlier in that silver needle, was my unique secret technique that can provoke the ferocity of the Golden Silkworm Gu. You think you can block my silver needle with your clothes? As soon as the silver needle touched your clothes, the Golden Silkworm Gu already remembered your scent. Next, the Golden Silkworm Gu will treat you as their primary target. Hmph, I want to see how long you can withstand my Golden Silkworm Gu!"
As Ning Qianshu spoke, the dozen or so Golden Silkworm Gu that flew out had already selected their target. Just as Ning Qianshu said, after they emerged, they directly targeted the elderly man who blocked the silver needles with his clothes, rushing towards him.
The old man also understood the power of the Golden Silkworm Gu. Seeing these dozen Golden Silkworm Gu approaching, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the peak master. Hurriedly, he waved the clothes in his hands, trying to slap all the Golden Silkworm Gu away. However, when the clothes hit the bodies of the Golden Silkworm Gu, everyone heard a hissing sound, and the clothes were torn into pieces, while the dozen Golden Silkworm Gu continued unabated towards him.
"How can this be?" The old man's face changed further, he then struck out more than a dozen palms consecutively, trying to use his massive palm force to fling these Golden Silkworm Gu away. However, the result was the same; his powerful palm force only slowed the speed of the Golden Silkworm Gu slightly, yet they were still rushing towards him.
Seeing the speed of the Golden Silkworm Gu being slightly hindered by the palm force, Bai Li Xi gently shook his head. He naturally understood the power of the Golden Silkworm Gu, knowing that Ning Qianshu's so-called Golden Silkworm Gu was far less potent than a real Golden Silkworm Gu. If a genuine Golden Silkworm Gu appeared here, merely the sound of their wing beats would be enough to paralyze everyone below the peak master level. Moreover, the palm force of a peak master could not affect a Golden Silkworm Gu at all!
Even so, Ning Qianshu's Golden Silkworm Gu, although far from possessing the power of the true Golden Silkworm Gu, still managed to terrify people. Seeing the situation with the Golden Silkworm Gu, the old man was scared and turned to flee, only to be directly intercepted by Shen Tianjun and others from behind.
Luan Ping and another peak master, seeing the situation, dared not linger in battle and tried to turn to escape. Ning Qianshu, controlling the Golden Silkworm Gu, couldn't spare a hand to help. With Shen Tianjun and four others trying to stop these three, it seemed quite challenging.
Seeing this situation, Bai Li Xi suddenly shouted, "Kill one first, prevent the other two from escaping!"
Shen Tianjun and his group exchanged glances, before Ding Lianshun and the Wolf Monk simultaneously turned to pounce on the old man being targeted by the Golden Silkworm Gu. Just as Bai Li Xi said, trying to kill all three peak masters here was highly difficult; killing one would be a bit easier.
