The semi-mature Ice Louse Insects were dozens of times larger than the adult Ice Louse Insects. Their entire bodies were wrapped in azure radiance and covered with a layer of fine scales.
They were incredibly fast. As they shot through the air, numerous tiny, razor-sharp wind blades wrapped around their bodies.
If a demonic insect reached the semi-mature stage, it meant that it could, by itself, contend with a late-stage or peak Spirit Severing cultivator. Even if it provoked a Profound Spirit cultivator, it could withstand several of the opponent's attacks.
If there were dozens or hundreds of semi-mature demonic insects, even a late-stage or peak Profound Spirit existence might not be able to exterminate the swarm with ease.
If there were hundreds, thousands, or even several thousand semi-mature demonic insects, they would already constitute a disaster to a Profound Spirit existence. Once entangled by them, even if one possessed a Chaos spirit treasure, no Profound Spirit existence would believe they could safely escape the swarm's encirclement.
Of course, for a colony of semi-mature demonic insects to reach a number in the thousands, the time and difficulty required would likely be no less than those involved in advancing to the Mahayana stage.
When the three Profound Spirit cultivators from Fan Hai Lodge suddenly saw Qin Fengming release the semi-mature Ice Louse Insects, shock stirred in their hearts. None of the three was dull-witted. Almost simultaneously, they thought of something they could not understand for the moment. Why did the young cultivator possess semi-mature Ice Louse Insects, yet not release them all at once?
Instead, he had allowed them to exterminate a large number of adult Ice Louse Insects before releasing the semi-mature ones.
As his thoughts raced, Xuanming suddenly thought of a possibility that sent a chill down his back.
