The female corpse was indeed too terrifying, and Qin Niu only carelessly poked her clothes open with his blade to have a look.

He didn’t find any treasures.

If left nearby, it would definitely start to stink.

Because the wild beasts of these mountains dared not approach the Ancient Banyan Tree, it was impossible that they would come to dispose of the body.

Using the Ink Blade, Qin Niu lifted up the corpse and threw it into the maze within the Ancient Banyan Tree.

He decided to let this magical Ancient Banyan Tree act as a scavenger.

Dawn was gradually breaking, but the two Bee Generals were still alive and well, showing no odd signs.

This caused Qin Niu’s heart to sink.

From the reaction of the Bee Generals, it was certain that Old Master Huang was still alive.

“He must not be allowed to escape; I must seize the opportunity to attack him while he is vulnerable,” he thought.

Qin Niu was very clear that if Old Master Huang managed to escape, the one to die would be himself.

Grinding his teeth, he chose a more concealed location to enter the maze within the Ancient Banyan Tree.

He had been here many times before, familiar to the point of knowing it like the back of his hand.

In fact, the Ancient Banyan Tree and the maze had long since become his private possessions.

After entering the maze, he scanned around with his gaze but didn’t spot Old Master Huang.

This made the hairs on Qin Niu’s neck stand up.

“Where on earth could he be?”

He was highly alert, ready to battle at any time.

“Crush another one to provoke that old thief!” he decided.

Without any courtesy, he took the crushed Insect Jar in hand, applied even more force, and then squashed the already injured Bee General to death.

As the Bee General died, a muffled grunt came from underground not far in front.

It turned out the old scoundrel was hiding underground.

Qin Niu swiftly approached that location.

“Fourth, you guys handle any bugs that might suddenly strike,” he instructed.

The combat power of over two thousand special Termites, when combined, was not to be underestimated.

Even a Grade Five Bee General could be dealt with by them.

As for insects of a higher level, they probably wouldn’t be able to manage.

Approaching closer, Qin Niu saw that the soil ahead was loose.

Old Master Huang had buried himself.

No wonder that old thief could dodge the killing moves of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

According to Qin Niu’s speculation, when the dawn was about to break, the killing moves of the Ancient Banyan Tree were weakening, which allowed Old Master Huang to survive.

Otherwise, hiding in the soil would only have led to a faster death.

“Send two to scout the exact location and depth of that old thief’s hiding spot,” he commanded.

Qin Niu didn’t act rashly.

Instead, he spent energy to activate the King Pig Leather Armor, with its thick Light Cocoon protecting him, to prevent being assassinated.

He flicked two Worker Ants onto the loose soil in front.

Building nests and digging tunnels on tree bodies or underground was second nature to Termites.

The two Grade Two Worker Ants quickly burrowed inside.

Qin Niu had not formed a contract with them, but controlled them indirectly through the Ant Queen.

This control was weaker, unable to directly share souls.

However, he was proficient in Ant Language, so he could easily obtain their feedback.

“Master, the target has been found, right at this location, not too deep,” they reported.

The intelligence of Grade Two Termites was limited; they couldn’t provide the precise depth.

But based on his connection with them, Qin Niu already knew the approximate depth.

About half a meter deep.

He gripped the Ink Blade tightly in his hand and violently stabbed down at Old Master Huang’s hiding spot.

Blade Qi burst forth from the blade.

Thud!

The target was hit.

The earth exploded instantly, and Old Master Huang, terribly wounded, escaped from within it.

He appeared completely disheveled, with a blade-pierced wound on his abdomen, blood oozing out. Old Master Huang’s complexion was pale and ashen, his spirit was wilted, and his eyes were lifeless.

A Golden Toad the size of a human head was squatting on his back.

If that stab had hit the Golden Toad, it would definitely have been difficult to injure Old Master Huang.

It seemed fate itself wished to eradicate this man, allowing Qin Niu’s blade to wound his abdomen.

“All Niu, as long as you don’t kill me, I am willing to give you all the family wealth in the city, the silver notes and treasures on me. This Golden Toad can be transferred to you as well.”

Old Master Huang covered the wound on his abdomen with his left hand as he retreated explosively.

His right hand, however, was tightly gripping the Serpent-shaped Sword.

“Are you serious?”

Qin Niu’s face lit up with joy.

At the same time, as he looked at Old Master Huang, his eyes revealed intense wariness.

“I am willing to make a venomous oath to heaven.”

“Agreed!”

Qin Niu pressed in, step by step.

“I, Huang Mieyi, hereby swear that as long as Qin Niu does not kill me, I will give him all my wealth and the Golden Toad without any regrets. Otherwise, may I be struck down by heaven and earth.”

He truly made a venomous oath.

“I can spare you, but you must become my subordinate and forever remain loyal to me.”

Qin Niu was rapidly closing the distance between him and Old Master Huang.

How could Old Master Huang, such a formidable figure, willingly submit to someone as a servant?

But under the force of circumstances, he eventually gritted his teeth and said, “I agree to your terms.”

“Since you’ve agreed to become my subordinate, then you should have the awareness of one. Throw away the sword, kneel on the ground, and hand over all your treasures.”

Qin Niu commanded Old Master Huang.

Although the latter was reluctant, he still obediently planted the Serpent­shaped Sword into the ground and then took out his silver notes and other items.

“Throw the sword farther away; otherwise, it will only make me think you still harbor disloyalty.”

Qin Niu coldly reprimanded.

“Fine!”

Old Master Huang agreed, releasing the hand covering the wound on his abdomen.

The blood from his wound had actually stopped flowing.

What kind of method did he use?

Impressive indeed.

Old Master Huang still held the silver notes in his right hand extended in front of him, as his left hand drew the Silver Snake Sword, ready to throw it away.

“Catch the silver notes!”

He threw a handful of silver notes at Qin Niu.

Qin Niu’s eyes turned cold as he swung his blade to strike.

Old Master Huang, also wielding a sword, charged towards Qin Niu, leaping into the air and aiming a direct thrust at Qin Niu’s heart.

A cold light flickered at the tip of the Serpent-shaped Sword.

This sword must be an extraordinarily made treasure sword, capable of emanating a cold light when powered by Old Master Huang’s skills.

If it could solidify even more, it would become a Blade Qi.

But it was not comparable to Qin Niu’s Ink Blade at all, not even on the same level of weapon.

His Ink Blade already possessed a spirit consciousness and could gather Blade Qi.

Boom!

A vicious slash landed on the top of Old Master Huang’s head.

The Golden Toad attempted to leap up to protect its master, but it was a moment too late.

Old Master Huang’s Black Silver Snake Sword also pierced Qin Niu’s heart.

Qin Niu’s Light Cocoon was penetrated, but the King Pig Leather Armor blocked the sword thrust.

Old Master Huang, however, was not so lucky.

His body was cleaved in two.

Qin Niu’s strike just then resulted in a Rupture effect.

The Blade Qi tore Old Master Huang’s body in half.

Blood and innards spilled all over the place.

Both men were formidable, neither truly trusting the other.

Qin Niu used words to steady Old Master Huang, aiming to dispel his thoughts of resistance, to easily finish him off with one strike.

Old Master Huang, on the other hand, pretended to surrender, deceiving Qin Niu, and took the opportunity to deliver a desperate strike.

If it weren’t for the King Pig Leather Armor, Qin Niu might not have been killed, but he would have been severely wounded.

Of course, without this armor, he would not have engaged in close combat with such a strong adversary, foolishly.

The Golden Toad was also caught in the Blade Qi but incredibly did not die.

It tumbled onto the ground; its outer skin had not been sliced open.

“Such incredible defensive power!”

Qin Niu inwardly marveled at the strength of the Golden Toad.
