While the Queen of Insects used her blood to nurture a massive army of insectoids, she retreated and avoided direct confrontation with Ruan Xiyan.
However, nurturing the Zerg through blood takes time and cannot be done immediately.
Ruan Xiyan unleashed both the Glazed Demon Flame and the Frostfall Sword. The Frostfall Sword spun rapidly, working in tandem with the Glazed Demon Flame to block the insectoids circling around her.
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan had rushed to her so quickly, the Queen Insect wanted to retreat back to her nest.
Ruan Xiyan naturally wouldn't give her that chance. The Soul-Binding Vine on her wrist flew out and wrapped directly around the Queen Insect's eight legs.
Ruan Xiyan pulled hard, closing the distance between them.
A hint of panic appeared in the Queen Insect's eyes, and she unleashed a powerful mental attack on Ruan Xiyan.
Comparing mental strength? Ruan Xiyan raised an eyebrow. She wasn't afraid; she also wanted to see whose mental strength was stronger, hers or this insect queen's.
Ruan Xiyan's mental power collided with the Queen of Insects' mental power.
To outsiders, they appeared to be standing there motionless, but in reality, they were engaged in an invisible battle of mental strength.
Their spiritual energies clashed time and again, and the Queen of Insects' expression grew increasingly solemn.
As the leader of the Zerg, she controlled and guided the actions of her Zerg people.
She was able to do this because of her formidable mental strength.
But now, it's unbelievable that a mere human's mental strength can rival hers.
The Queen Insect dared not hide anything any longer, and all her spiritual power spread around her.
The realm of mental power?!
Ruan Xiyan let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
The Queen Insect even possesses a domain of mental power, which instantly doubles her mental strength.
As the Queen Insect's spiritual power gradually gained the upper hand, Ruan Xiyan felt her spiritual sea being impacted, causing it to vibrate violently.
Ruan Xiyan opened her eyes and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Within my domain, no one can surpass me in mental strength. If you don't want to be fertilizer, then become my puppet."
The spiritual energy surrounding Ruan Xiyan converged, forming countless fine needles, which shot towards her.
Ruan Xiyan kept dodging, and she could sense that these fine needles contained extremely strong spiritual power.
Once struck by these fine needles, her will would be controlled by the other party, making her like a puppet on strings, completely at their mercy.
This seems to be a mental cultivation technique, similar in effect to the True Word Pills she refines, but even better.
The True Word Pill cannot control people with high strength or strong will, but these fine needles of spiritual energy can control people indiscriminately.
Bloodshot eyes appeared in Ruan Xiyan's eyes, her dark pupils turning blood red.
Seeing Ruan Xiyan's eyes, which were different from those of humans, the Insect Queen frowned deeply, "Who exactly are you?"
Her senses were very sharp; she sensed the unknown and the terrifying from those eerie blood-red eyes.
Ruan Xiyan did not answer her, but instead dodged the spiritual needles while observing them.
Under the blood-red eyes, everything seemed to slow down.
Besides having insight into everything, Blood Eyes also has another ability: replication.
It can replicate the abilities and techniques of others, but it consumes a huge amount of mental energy, so it is not usually used lightly.
The main problem is that none of my previous opponents have been this mentally challenging.
Ruan Xiyan sensed the trajectory and structure of those fine needles, and thus replicated the same fine needles. She tried to condense fine needles.
Seeing the fine needles of spiritual energy in Ruan Xiyan's hand, the Insect Queen's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could this be? Why does this human know her innate technique?
It couldn't be that she just learned it from watching her use it; if she had such an ability, it would be terrifying.
Perhaps it's just a facade, a way to intimidate her.
The Queen of Insects calmed down a little. She clenched her fist, and countless fine needles of spiritual energy aimed at Ruan Xiyan and attacked her.
The mental energy needles were densely packed and unavoidable. Ruan Xiyan raised her hand and hurled the needles she had condensed along with the others at them.
The two fine needles collided, and Ruan Xiyan's needle instantly shattered into powder.
Instead of panicking, Ruan Xiyan's eyes brightened slightly. So that's how it is!
Only after truly experiencing the power of these fine needles can one understand their meaning and fully comprehend them.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly condensed new spiritual energy needles, blocking the needles that were about to reach her.
Ruan Xiyan's spiritual power carried a chill, which made the insect queen tremble.
This human woman actually knows her innate skill?! Before she could figure out what was going on, her mental energy domain was shaken by Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan gave the insect queen no chance to react. She condensed her strongest mental power, and the chilling mental power shattered the insect queen's mental power domain.
The queen insect suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the frost spreading over her body, she quickly tried to dispel it.
In the next instant, Ruan Xiyan flashed in front of the Queen Insect and struck her with a palm.
The Queen Insect's hand produced venom to defend against Ruan Xiyan.
The venom was easily dispersed by Ruan Xiyan, and then the queen insect was thrown away like a kite with a broken string.
Although Ruan Xiyan broke through the insect queen's mental energy domain, her mental energy was also depleted, and her complexion was not very good.
If it weren't for the chilling aura within her mental energy, making it inherently more powerful than ordinary mental energy, and the fact that she had broken through the control of the Queen's mental energy needles, she would have truly been helpless against this mental energy domain.
However, seeing the Queen Insect sent flying by her palm, Ruan Xiyan's suspicions were confirmed.
The Queen of Insects is able to control the entire insect race, and her mental strength is indeed one in a million, outstanding. However, apart from her strong mental strength, she has no physical power.
Ruan Xiyan placed her longsword against the Queen Insect's neck. "Let's make a deal."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a deal made with a sword to someone's throat," the Insect Queen said with a seductive smile. "Little girl, I know you want the Poison Heart Silkworm, but that's impossible!"
"The Poisonous Heart Silkworm is extremely difficult to capture. It took me a lot of effort to find a young silkworm and carefully nurture it for many years, all so that I could eat it one day and enhance my power."
She was well aware of her weaknesses; she was powerful in terms of mental strength, but had no advantage in physical strength.
When she was fighting this human woman, she had been avoiding her strength and only using her mental power to fight her. She didn't expect that the human woman would still discover her secret.
To compensate for her weakness, she specifically sought out the Poison Heart Silkworm.
The venom of the Poisonous Heart Silkworm is connected to the venom in her body. If she swallows the Poisonous Heart Silkworm at the right time during her breakthrough, she will be able to enhance the power of the venom.
