Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

At this moment, under the full power eruption of the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, Yu Zhangsheng and the others were like a lone boat before a great wave, rocking on the verge of capsizing.

Under this terrifying pressure, they could not move a single inch; only their thoughts could still operate normally. Every movement felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless mud pit, extremely difficult. They could only watch helplessly as the spider web covering the sky vault drew closer and closer to them.

Even Yu Zhangsheng could not help but reveal a trace of bitter smile and helplessness on his face.

"This time, it seems I was a bit too arrogant..."

Fleshly power erupted wildly, Divine Sense and Cultivation Base operated wildly. Sensing his own predicament, Yu Zhangsheng felt some bitterness; within his mind, a sense of crisis erupted wave after wave.

Every cell in his whole body transmitted danger signals; his hair stood on end, his scalp went numb.

At the critical moment of a thousand junctures and a single thread, a long sigh rang out.

"Zhang Tianwen, after you go back, remember that you owe me a favor."

Yu Zhangsheng was startled, and with difficulty turned his head to look at the person who made the sound.

He saw Shen Xingchen's complexion turn bitter; he suddenly bit his tongue, and a mouthful of crimson fresh blood sprayed out, landing on the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.

The Dragon Roar Sword crazily absorbed this fresh blood, trembling violently. The dragon roar sound buzzed and resounded; violent blood light flashed from its sword body, and in a moment it covered heaven and earth. Astonishing Sword Qi erupted.

"With my heart blood, shatter ten thousand calamities!"

Shen Xingchen's clear cold voice suddenly rang out. The Dragon Roar Sword in his hand instantly shot out, transforming into a shocking blood rainbow. It easily broke through this huge spider web and stabbed toward the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's abdomen! "Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

Flesh and blood were pierced. The Dragon Roar Sword turned into a stream of light and quickly passed through the torn flesh into the interior. The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider screamed miserably; its pressure instantly became even more violent. The huge spider web's green light flashed, and the opening torn by the Dragon Roar Sword rapidly repaired itself.

Boom boom boom! Terrifying fluctuations continuously brewed from within the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's abdomen. Violent power rippled open wave after wave, affecting the Void. Streams of scorching blood light continuously emanated from the Dragon Roar Sword inside the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's flesh and blood.

"Human, what do you want to do?!"

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider was shocked and furious. In its scarlet gaze, panic appeared for the first time, mixed with a hint of fear. Its body struggled violently.

"What do I want to do?" Shen Xingchen coldly laughed, his eyes revealing a manic color, carrying quite a bit of a 'smash the jar and let it break' meaning. "What do I want to do? Naturally, it's to take your life!"

"Dragon Roar Sword, explode!"

Shen Xingchen's finger suddenly slashed once more, and another line of blood slid out from his wrist. His voice turned cold; as it fell, violent blood light transmitted from the Dragon Roar Sword deep within the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's flesh. Reaching its peak, it finally dimmed, and violent energy exploded in an instant.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

An earth-shaking explosion sound resounded through the cloud mist. Dark green blood splattered the Void, falling on the great earth and corroding out large pits one after another. The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's huge body suddenly shrank; all eight limbs broke off simultaneously.

Its abdomen was blown open with a huge blood hole, revealing half of the Dragon Roar Sword, which also suddenly trembled, let out a miserable cry, and shattered inch by inch.

The Dragon Roar Sword had completely self-detonated, and the power of its self-detonation was clearly evident.

"Puff puff..."

Shen Xingchen's body staggered; he spat out two mouthfuls of fresh blood in succession. His complexion instantly turned pale to the extreme. He swayed on the verge of falling, his aura chaotic beyond measure. His natal Magic Treasure self-detonated; his Cultivation Base also suffered backlash. His injuries were not light.

"Woo woo woo..."

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider collapsed on the ground, its aura low and deep. Its offensive against the several people collapsed without being attacked. Dark green fresh blood flowed all over the ground. The Life Fire flickered. Its spider legs struggled to prop itself up, but then crashed down again with a boom.

"Weren't you quite arrogant before? What happened, not arrogant anymore?"

Shen Xingchen panted heavily, yet still raised his head to look at the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider on the verge of death, coldly laughing incessantly.

"Human, you..."

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's voice was weak. Half-narrowing its beast eyes, it looked at Shen Xingchen. The resentment in its eyes was not concealed in the slightest.

"It ends here."

Yu Zhangsheng spoke in a cold voice, looking at the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider lying motionless on the ground. He stepped out step by step, slowly advancing. Golden light on his body flashed again, condensing into a golden long spear, emitting sharp radiance.

"No, humans, I'll give you the Condensing Spirit Grass, spare my life..."

Seeing Yu Zhangsheng walking over step by step, the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider sensed the threat and begged for mercy in a lowly, submissive manner.

"Too late."

Yu Zhangsheng was unmoved. In two steps he trod onto the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's body. He lightly stomped; the golden long spear in his hand had not the slightest hesitation. It pierced into the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's flesh and blood, and he fiercely twisted...

Tear!

Blood splattered. The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider unwillingly suddenly raised its head, glanced at Yu Zhangsheng once, then the light in its eyes completely dispersed. Its body slumped and lay on the ground.

"Hah... finally dead."

Shen Xingchen panted violently. Looking at the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider whose Life Force was completely extinguished, a trace of a smile emerged on his fatigued face. His body staggered, but fortunately Zhang Tianwen beside him had quick eyes and fast hands; he supported him, preventing him from falling.

"Are you alright?"

Zhang Tianwen's eyes revealed concern and gratitude. He took out a jade-green Pill and fed it to Shen Xingchen.

Shen Xingchen bitterly smiled and shook his head. After regulating his breath, a trace of crimson flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he swallowed it back down.

"No major harm. It's just that the Dragon Roar Sword completely self-detonated; my losses this battle are not small."

The Dragon Roar Sword had accompanied Shen Xingchen for over two years. It was originally a high-grade Magic Treasure, nurtured by Shen Xingchen for a long time. That its complete self-detonation power could heavily injure the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider was not surprising.

"Sorry," a trace of guilt appeared in Zhang Tianwen's eyes. He said dotingly, "Later I'll find you a good sword."

"It's fine," Shen Xingchen waved his hand, exhaled a breath, "Let's go first. The commotion of this battle is too big; it might have attracted the attention of those few Golden Core cultivators. It's not safe."

"Good."

Zhang Tianwen nodded. Yu Zhangsheng also waved his sleeve to collect the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's corpse, chose a direction, and led everyone away swiftly.

The Myriad Spirits Decision's aura covered the four people. At the same time, they completely converged their own auras. Their speed was not slow as they flew away from this place rapidly.

One incense stick time later...

Three figures landed here. They were precisely Chen Buhuo, Jue Lingzi, and that Purple Robe Cultivator.

"Here……"

Chen Buhuo's gaze condensed as he looked at the scarred earth, slowly exhaling a breath.

"A great battle once took place here, and it looks like it just ended not long ago." The purple-robed cultivator picked up a handful of soil, rubbed it in his hand for a while, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Judging by the aura, it should be those brats alright, only……"

The purple-robed cultivator pondered, his gaze falling on the ground above, a large pit corroded by the ink-green blood of the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, emitting black qi, looking thoughtful.

"Only…… to survive in the hands of a Third Rank Middle Stage Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, this group of brats, truly surprising."

"Even more than that, to escape from the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider's hands, to the extent of counter-killing the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider?"

The purple-robed cultivator's gaze was incomparably venomous; merely from some traces revealed at the scene, he deduced many things, therefore, the color of incredulity in his eyes grew even heavier.

"A Third Rank Middle Stage Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider…… I might not even be a match for it, yet it was actually slain by this group of brats. Although I don't know what methods they used, it was definitely not easy. At this time, it should be their weakest stage. They can't run for long, let's chase quickly."

The purple-robed cultivator finished speaking, took a deep breath, his eyes rarely revealing a few points of gravity, fingers pinching a hand seal to cast a spell, streaks of purple flowing light dancing, forming an arrowhead, which ultimately suddenly dissipated.

"Hm? Can't find them? Their methods of concealing aura are not bad."

The purple-robed cultivator's complexion turned ugly, looking at the dissipated arrowhead, his gaze gloomy.

"How long has it been since then? They can't have run far. Split into three routes. If you find traces, tell me immediately. One person alone is not their match. Don't act rashly."

"Right, this is already the Inner Layer of Hui Shui Shan. There are quite a few ferocious high-rank spirit beasts inside. Pay attention. Don't provoke them. Go!"

The purple-robed cultivator finished speaking, waved his hand, and the three people split into three streaks of flowing light, searching off in different directions.

On the other side, inside the mountains and forests, Yu Changsheng's group sped forward rapidly. Along the way, they passed one spirit beast after another. Fortunately, under the Wan Ling Jue's aura concealment, Yu Changsheng and the others did not take the initiative to provoke them, and they also did not put up much obstruction, letting the group leave.

In contrast, Chen Buhuo and Jue Lingzi's side was not so fortunate. Although several people held the advantage in cultivation base, inside Hui Shui Shan, a spirit beast would jump out to block them from time to time. Although they killed them, their speed was also affected.

With this waxing and waning, for a time, their speed was actually not as fast as Yu Changsheng's. Moreover, Hui Shui Shan is huge; wanting to search them out again would truly not be easy.

"Since the Condensing Foundation Grass is in hand, then we should now find an opportunity to go down the mountain and return to the sect first. As for that group of Golden Cores, let's try to avoid running into them for now."

Zhang Tianwen carried Shen Xingchen on his back, following closely behind Yu Changsheng, sometimes leaping, sometimes crouching low, moving nimbly like a monkey inside the mountains and forests, advancing continuously.

"Alright, can only do it this way then."

Yu Changsheng nodded, his divine sense maintained outward release, the Wan Ling Jue also operating crazily, aura covering the group, concealing tracks.

Currently, among the four people, even Shen Xingchen had fallen into backlash due to his natal magic treasure self-detonating, his Sword Cultivator combat power damaged by more than half. If they ran into that group of Golden Cores at this time, it would truly be hard to escape.

Inside Hui Shui Shan, water mist was thick, marshes everywhere. Fortunately, with Yu Changsheng's timely warning, they all avoided them in advance, and no accidents occurred.

Like this, time flowed by, a day and a night passed.

Everyone's minds were tense, maintaining vigilance all along the way. After crossing Hui Shui Shan, Yu Changsheng's mind moved, and he slowly exhaled a breath.

"We've returned to the Outer Circle again. Stay vigilant. Let's find a new direction to exit the mountain."

Yu Changsheng said softly, his tense mind relaxing slightly. Having arrived here, the map bought before going up the mountain also played a role again. Yu Changsheng looked around, compared it with the map in his mind, and after getting a general fix on his location, picked a direction and sped off rapidly.

Having reached the Outer Circle, one could clearly sense the surrounding spirit beasts' realms had dropped considerably. There were no Third Rank, and Second Rank were rarely seen. Therefore, while several people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they also had few scruples. Speed increased once again, flying toward the foot of the mountain.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh……"

Wind howled, water vapor also became dense again. The group crashed straight through. Inside the mountains and forests, trees retreated continuously behind them, until the sound of fighting transmitted from ahead, only then did everyone's bodies hesitate.

"Hm?"

Yu Changsheng's mind moved, sensing the spell technique fluctuations ahead, his body pausing, looking back at Zhang Tianwen.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Tianwen asked doubtfully.

"There's a group of people fighting up ahead. Whether to detour? However, besides ahead, all other directions are marshlands. Choosing to detour would delay a lot of time."

Yu Changsheng answered honestly.

"Fighting?" Zhang Tianwen was startled, then pondered, asking, "How is the opposition's cultivation base? Since detouring is troublesome, let's just go straight through. There shouldn't be any problem."

"Six people total, divided into two sides. Cultivation bases are basically all Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, around Fifth or Sixth Layer, and there's one Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer." Yu Changsheng sensed for a bit, answering truthfully.

"That's fine then. Go straight through."

Zhang Tianwen heard this, visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yu Changsheng.

"Alright." Yu Changsheng nodded, no longer hesitating, continuing to fly forward.

Not far ahead, spell technique fluctuations rippled open. Six people divided into two formations, confronting each other in a desperate fight.

"Wang Yun Gang! Your Yun Hai Herb Gathering Team must not go too far! This Golden Cauldron Yin Iron was clearly discovered by us first. Your conduct like this, do you truly think my Ling Feng Herb Gathering Team has no one?"

Among them, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a green uniform robe, after one strike rippled open the other person called Wang Yun Gang, shouted angrily.

A trace of fresh blood flowed out from above his forehead. His whole body's Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivation base scattered, but facing Wang Yun Gang, he still appeared not enough to watch.

"Hehe, Luo Meng, look at what you're saying. Treasures in Hui Shui Shan belong to the fated. How do you prove this Golden Cauldron Yin Iron was discovered by you first?"

Wang Yun Gang coldly laughed, looking at Luo Meng, mockery in his eyes obvious.

"You!" Luo Meng was furious, pointing at Wang Yun Gang, his chest heaving violently, gritting his teeth and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, "If it weren't for our Team Leader Ling not being here. How would you dare be so arrogant? Doing this, aren't you afraid of retaliation after returning?"

"Oh? You mean that brat Ling Feng, hehe." Wang Yun Gang shook his head coldly laughing, "Even if he came the ending would be the same. Moreover……"

Wang Yun Gang's tone paused, his gaze icy cold as he looked over the three people of Luo Meng, tone suddenly turning cold: "As long as I kill you all, in this Hui Shui Shan, who would know it was me who killed you?"

"Second-in-command, Team Leader Ling isn't here. We are no match for this Wang Yun Gang. Find a chance, we'll protect you and escape!"

The remaining two people of the Ling Feng Herb Gathering Team approached Luo Meng. Both were covered in injuries, panting violently. Both were Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer. They guarded beside Luo Meng, saying with bitter smiles.

"This……"

Luo Meng gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, sensing the tyranny within his body, silent, bitterness rising in his heart.

"Want to escape? Thinking quite nicely. Pity, far from enough."

Wang Yun Gang smiled faintly and shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the two companions at his side raised their long blades high, looking at the three people, their gazes excited and bloodthirsty. (Chapter End)
