Chapter 477: Chapter 469: Creating a Noose for One’s Own Neck_1

This was within his expectations.

He was anxious to enhance his spiritual power, to formally contract with the Mirage Insect as soon as possible, fearing that delay may bring unexpected complications.

He was unclear about what the Mirage Insect was thinking.

But with his understanding of human nature, considering the Mirage Insect was a demon bug, it would never willingly submit to a human whose cultivation level was much weaker than its own. To regain its freedom, it turning on its master was inevitable.

At this mont, taking advantage of the Mirage Insect not yet fully assimilating its second identity, Qin Niu found the timing to be extrely favorable.

“I am very willing to establish a soul contract with my master, but I am currently at a critical mont in assimilating the Dark Night Gu and cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, there is a risk of being backlashed by the Dark Night Gu. May I ask my master for an extension of so days? Once I have assimilated the Dark Night Gu, I will definitely contract with my master at the first opportunity,”

the Mirage Insect said earnestly.

“Is that so? I really hate being deceived,”

Qin Niu’s lips curled up, a hint of mockery on his face.

At the sa ti, he drew his Ink Blade and held it in hand, while Termite set up the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation.

The Green Demon Bee King led thirty-one newly transford Green Demon Bees to guard in front of Qin Niu.

Green Ox was also ready to strike, prepared to use its innate ability at any mont.

“Of course it’s true, I would never dare to deceive my master,”

the Mirage Insect, seeing this display, instinctively stepped back.

“It seems I neglected to tell you, I am sowhat knowledgeable in the art of Gu. The mont you swallowed that Dark Night Gu, it lost the ability to backlash against you. Now that you can communicate with normally, it is proof enough that you have the situation entirely under control, and a little disturbance will not affect your assimilation of your second identity. Since you have beco my pet, why hesitate?”

Qin Niu had already taken out a Low-grade Contract Charm.

Although the opponent was a demon bug, as long as it cooperated willingly, a low-grade Contract Charm would suffice.

He had purchased five high-grade Contractual Talismans last ti, but he would save them if he could.

“Fine! If we can’t co to an agreent, then it’s ti to say goodbye!”

No sooner had the Mirage Insect’s words fallen, than it transford into a streaking shadow, escaping into the distance.

The light in the surrounding area darkened as well, as if dayti had suddenly turned to dusk.

It appeared that the Mirage Insect had already assimilated the Dark Night Gu.

It now possessed part of the abilities of the Dark Night Gu.

Luckily, Qin Niu had kept a card up his sleeve, constantly controlling the Mirage Insect’s first identity, which to an extent, could weaken its combat power.

Moreover, judging by the Mirage Insect’s behavior, it was very likely that due to the existence of the private pact, it dared not initiate an attack on Qin Niu.

“You can’t escape!”

Qin Niu leisurely watched the Mirage Insect flee.

He intentionally chose to establish the soul contract within the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze to prevent anything unexpected.

Now, it seed that the preventive asures had paid off.

Transforming into a shadow, the Mirage Insect desperately tried to escape, but it soon discovered that no matter how it fled, it ended up trapped within this area.

Only now did it realize just how terrifying Qin Niu was.

“Cunning human, have you trapped using a formation?”

The voice of the Mirage Insect ca out from the darkness.

“My patience has its limits. You’ve already chosen to submit, so why harbor ulterior motives? If you submit now, I can forgive and forget. Otherwise, at the very least, I will have to make you suffer, and if you remain obstinate, I might just kill you outright,”

Qin Niu’s voice was cold.

To other Insect Masters, a demon bug was a treasure, but in his eyes, it was nothing of particular significance.

Seizing the timidity of the Mirage Insect, Qin Niu intentionally frightened it.

“First find and then we’ll talk!”

It seed the Mirage Insect was hastening to refine the Dark Night Gu, as the light in the area was becoming dimr and dimr.

At this mont, Qin Niu noticed the Ancient Banyan Tree also had so reaction to the growing darkness. Its branches started to descend bit by bit, and that chill energy began to trickle down.

Though it was clearly dayti, the Ancient Banyan Tree had activated its night-ti cleansing chanism due to the special ability of the Dark Night Gu.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but gain a deeper understanding of the Dark Night Gu’s capability.

“Evil deeds will et their due end, keep going!”

Qin Niu simply collected all of his insects, leaving only Fourth and Green Ox to guard by his side.

The frigid energy descending from the Ancient Banyan Tree was terrifying. Just a bit more exposure and the Mirage Insect would understand what it ant to weave one’s own trap.

As ti trickled by, because Qin Niu was a ‘friend’ of sorts to the Ancient Banyan Tree, although the frigid energy descending would attack him too, the energy falling upon his head was much less.

“Damn it… I think I sll the scent of death! That detestable scent of death, what in the world is going on?”

The Mirage Insect could no longer bear it.

Panic was evident in its voice.

Qin Niu’s face was indifferent; he discovered that Green Ox was able to resist so of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s frigid energy. For such a long ti, Green Ox didn’t lie down; it only trembled.

One could see a faint divine light on its body, protecting it from within.

This Green Ox had very special abilities.

Even though its level wasn’t high, it had already shown its extraordinariness in many aspects.

After this Water and Land Dharma Assembly, Qin Niu was determined to find a way to help Green Ox level up even more.

If it could reach level ten, probably just with Green Ox alone, he could contend with an ordinary Immortal Master.

With no escape, now that the branches of the Ancient Banyan Tree were continually lowering, more and more frigid energy fell, and the Mirage Insect’s fragile spirit could no longer hold up.

All that remained was the panic and the fear of death.

“Master, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please stop attacking, I will make a soul contract with you!”

The Mirage Insect revealed its true form, inching toward Qin Niu.

One could see that a totem had appeared on its back—a very special black insect pattern.

It must be the shape of the Dark Night Gu.

This confird that the Mirage Insect had indeed refined the Dark Night Gu.

But it was very cunning; although it had refined the Dark Night Gu, it deliberately ford a Light Cocoon, in order to deceive Qin Niu. Making Qin Niu believe it had not finished refining the Dark Night Gu.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, ‘for every wise man there is one still wiser.’ In the end, Qin Niu had it firmly within his grasp.

“Now you know you were wrong? What were you doing earlier?”

Unmoved, Qin Niu was deliberate in grinding down its pride and arrogance.

The true form of Mirage Insect wasn’t very powerful, and with more and more frigid energy falling upon it, its predicant beca even more dangerous. The sensation of being ‘digested’ by the Ancient Banyan Tree was mortifyingly terrifying to it.

“I was wrong, I won’t dare to have these cunning thoughts again. Now that I have two avatars, and given that I am a demon insect, after making a soul contract with you, I can do many tasks for you. As soon as my first avatar regains its strength, whether it’s your human Immortal Masters or demonic beasts, I will be able to handle them all.”

To save its life, the Mirage Insect could only desperately showcase its value.

It couldn’t be sure if Qin Niu was just scaring it or if he actually intended to kill it.

Begging for rcy was the only thing it could do.
