Chapter 763: Mutual Probing

Being pointed at by weapons, Zhu Xiuer was instead peaceful, with all eight legs lightly pressed on the ground; He Lingchuan stood straight, his sword not drawn. Dong Rui shrank behind the two and rubbed his arms.

Their willingness to fight didn't seem strong, so the other side's reaction was small. One of them took two steps forward: "Who are you, why are you breaking into the Rongshan territory!"

This was a youth in his twenties, with a square face and high cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and protruding eyebrows.

How to describe this appearance? Just one word:

Fierce.

The look in his eyes when looking at people was like a hungry wolf staring at prey, making people shudder.

He Lingchuan had stayed in the Great Wind Army for a long time, and his companions were all heroes who had gone through life and death, but not many people had this kind of look and temperament.

Dong Rui couldn't help but say: "This really is Rongshan, I didn't lead the way wrong!"

He drove the Snail Toad through the underground, rarely going the wrong way, whereas walking on the ground was easier to get lost.

He Lingchuan intervened: "Are you all Rongshan disciples? We are new to this treasure land, we want to find Elder Dao Quan!"

Just then someone said urgently: "Junior Brother Qiu, there's no time, those things are coming out soon!"

The cold youth ignored him, only tilted his head and asked He Lingchuan: "Looking for Elder Dao? You, what's the matter?"

He also pointed at the spider demon: "Why are you with a cicada?"

Cicada? These people with no eyes, treating the dignified Spider Immortal as a cicada? Zhu Xiuer stretched her eight legs, and her body immediately swelled more than double.

She had originally shrunk to the size of a horse, but this swelling made her sturdy and majestic, with every bristle revealing a warning of "I'm not easy to mess with."

Everyone was shocked and on high alert.

A man stood behind her, subconsciously stepping back two steps, accidentally pressing the mechanism, and as a result, a sleeve arrow shot out with a 'whoosh'.

Zhu Xiuer had twelve eyes, basically a 360-degree panoramic view without dead ends, so could she be successfully ambushed by him? She lifted a leg, and that sleeve arrow missed.

Such a large spider jumped into the air, directly hugging and riding that person to the ground! This unlucky guy immediately screamed in pain.

But Zhu Xiuer had bristles up to three inches long on her legs; being hugged by her like this, the man was pierced by ten thousand needles, in unbearable pain.

But he couldn't break free, because Zhu Xiuer started by spinning a web, wrapping him tightly.

Logically speaking, the next step would be to inject venom and wait for it to take effect. But Zhu Xiuer showed mercy and didn't turn him into a 'suck-suck-happy'. After all, He Lingchuan had traveled far and wide, and still had to deal with the master of this land.

Other Rongshan disciples saw this and rushed to rescue. The cold youth's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly flashed behind Dong Rui, giving him a hand knife to the back of his neck.

He saw at a glance that this person should be the weakest of the three intruders.

Take the weak first, hard bones can be left for later to chew slowly.

But as soon as he made his move, he felt a blur before his eyes, and something inexplicably pounced on his face, getting bigger and bigger in mid-air.

The two were too close, and seeing that his whole face was about to be wrapped, the cold youth let out a fierce roar and punched at this thing.

His roar was deafening, like a thunderclap on a sunny day, and it was right in his ear; Dong Rui was shaken back two or three steps, his heart and brain qi and blood floating, let alone the bat demon puppet, which relied on ultrasonic navigation and positioning.

It was directly stunned, and its body even had a momentary stiffness.

Immediately afterward, the youth's fist arrived.

The demon puppet, which had just turned into the size of an ordinary fox bat, was punched into a parabola and fell three zhang away.

But just with this delay, Dong Rui had already performed a sliding step, drilling under Zhu Xiuer's belly, his movements light and swift; even if He Lingchuan were to do it, he might not be so fluid.

He wasn't good at fighting, but he was number one at escaping.

If he didn't have this solid skill, how could he have stayed on Beijia's wanted list for so long without being caught? Bickering was one thing, but at critical moments, Zhu Xiuer was still the most reliable teammate, her eight long legs like eight pillars, firmly protecting him in the middle.

Of course, polite words still had to be said: "We have traveled thousands of miles to come here, is this the Rongshan way of treating guests?"

He had plenty of insidious moves, but it wasn't easy to release them now, for fear of hurting the peace.

The Rongshan disciples' attacks were all blocked by Zhu Xiuer.

They say two fists are no match for four hands, but Zhu Xiuer had eight legs, and could fight multiple people at the same time, each fighting their own battle.

But Zhu Xiuer wasn't comfortable either, spitting webs with a 'chi chi' sound, sticking two people directly to the tree.

Others went to rescue, but the toughness of the spider web was astonishing, and it was hard to cut with swords.

By this time, He Lingchuan had already started fighting with the cold youth.

Upon engaging with He Lingchuan, this guy took out a purple-gold rod, which turned into a six-foot-long stick as it swayed in the wind, the tip of the stick picking and poking toward his brow.

He Lingchuan felt something strange as soon as they engaged. This kid's strength was truly astonishing, not much worse than Meng Shan's, but the condensation was far greater; when he danced the stick, there was no whistling wind, only when it hit the opponent's weapon or body would the contained giant force suddenly explode, catching people off guard.

He Lingchuan dodged a stick, and the tip of the stick hit a large rock, poking a hole in it without a sound.

Taking advantage of this, He Lingchuan turned around and slashed at his face with his sword.

He was here to visit the mountain, not to cause trouble, so he turned his wrist and wanted to hit the person with the flat of the blade.

If this hit, it would be no less than a big slap.

It was difficult for the youth to see clearly in the flash of lightning, so he changed his left hand from a stick to a fist, hitting the flat of the Fusheng sword.

With a 'bang', the fist and the blade hit each other, with a faint metallic sound.

He Lingchuan borrowed the force to press down, kicked his knee joint with a side kick, fast and fierce.

The force of this kick could have kicked the fierce tiger Jiao Yu away; if it kicked the joint solidly, it would be a fracture regardless of severity.

Being a guest, He Lingchuan didn't want to take a life, but he didn't mind sending a fracture package first.

The speed was too fast, and the youth couldn't dodge it.

However, just at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the youth's leg, fiercely chiseling He Lingchuan's boot.

He Lingchuan's kick hit the black shadow, as if it had scattered a cloud of black mist, and the youth was also kicked flying two zhang away.

However, He Lingchuan also felt a pain in his foot, as if he had been stung by something piercing through his boot, and the back of his foot immediately went numb.

"Damn it!" He immediately felt something was wrong, wiped his storage ring, and swallowed the antidote for the first time.

The youth rolled twice after landing and then stood up.

His footsteps were unsteady and he staggered, but he did indeed stand up.

This guy was really tough, plus the force of He Lingchuan's kick was unloaded by the black shadow, so it didn't break his bones.

He Lingchuan pointed his toes and rushed to his front; to others, he was as fast as a ghost, and then the 'Wave Slash' went out.

Since he started practicing, he had been honing his skills and facing difficulties, just to practice his sword intent to match his heart intent.

These two slashes went out, and the youth opposite felt as if he were in rough waves, with omnipresent surging energy that seemed to want to tear him into pieces.
