Chapter 81: Four-Winged Spider King

How could Li Youyi throw it away? He said: "The precious medicine emits medicinal fragrance, but what about the scent on your body? You should have considered this before the trial."

Seeing Yao Yin didn't know how to respond, but then she saw Li Youyi take out a huge piece of black cloth and wrap the crimson Cistanche in it. Instantly, all light and scent were covered.

It was a Ghost Banner.

Li Youyi himself crawled inside, preparing to use the Ghost Banner to hide and pass this trial directly.

After thinking for a moment, he poked his head out and looked at the little girl sitting at the bow of the boat in a daze, asking: "Do you want to hide in here?"

Seeing Yao Yin made a sound of annoyance and turned her face away.

"Fine, then try your best to restrain your aura and don't attract the Winged White Spiders!" Li Youyi crawled back into the Ghost Banner, calculating in his heart.

Previously, he had deliberately fallen from mid-air to reveal a flaw, testing whether Seeing Yao Yin would take the opportunity to kill him. If she had acted, Li Youyi would have eliminated her without hesitation.

The same was true now.

Li Youyi appeared to be wrapped in the Ghost Banner, looking defenseless, but in reality, he was waiting for Seeing Yao Yin to strike.

"Only fifteen years old, and it's clear she has been well-protected since childhood. No matter how cold she pretends to be, she is still soft-hearted. With such a temperament, even if she has a Pure Immortal Body, she may not survive to the end."

"Forget it, I won't strike. I'll leave her to those who have opened Eight or Nine Springs; they should view the Pure Immortal Body as their primary enemy."

Li Youyi bit into the Cistanche and began to eat.

A five-hundred-year-old precious medicine was indeed different; it melted in the mouth like swallowing nectar, filling his mouth with a rosy glow. The warm current of the medicine spread from his lips and tongue to his abdomen, then diffused outward.

Li Youyi felt warm all over, as if soaking in a hot spring.

After a month of bitter practice, the barrier of the Eighth Spring had been worn very thin and could be broken through at any time.

For an Eight Springs Wu Xiu, besides tempering meridians, the most difficult part was actually opening the Wind Mansion.

The Wind Mansion was an inner world similar to the Yintang Spirit Realm, or a small Qi Sea.

Li Youyi possessed the Buddha Relic, a supreme space treasure, which could assist in opening the inner world within his body, so the final difficulty was effectively no difficulty at all.

Once he opened the Eight Springs, he could proceed to deal with Li Qing first, then go and try the difficulty of the telekinetic wall paintings.

Anyway, with Master Coffin's letter, it was like carrying an Imperial Edict. Li Youyi felt he could be bolder. He was the successor to the Nine Li tribe's leader from a thousand years ago; it was reasonable to be a bit stunning.

Seeing Yao Yin sat alone at the bow, her sapphire-like immortal eyes looking toward both sides of the river, fully alert, and naturally, also guarding against Li Youyi.

Gradually.

Dense spider silk appeared on the river, some of which formed a web, blocking the boat and preventing it from moving forward.

Seeing Yao Yin glanced at the guy in the black cloth, ultimately deciding not to rely on him. She took out a magic dagger hidden in her sleeve and carefully cut through the spider webs.

These spider silks were very tough, stronger than those of the Auger Spider, and could be used to weave martial robes or refine low-grade magic ropes.

But here, it was very dangerous.

Once wrapped inside, it was impossible to escape.

The speed of the flat-bottomed boat became extremely slow.

She saw many human skeletons entangled in the spider silk, hanging upside down over the water. Without guessing, she knew they must be previous Seven Springs trial-takers.

And on the riverbank, just a few meters away, were clusters of white spheres the size of fists, all with membrane wings, clearly sleeping Winged White Spiders.

The scene before her made Seeing Yao Yin extremely nervous; she dared not imagine what a terrifying sight it would be if they were all woken up.

On the other end, Li Youyi lay on the boat practicing the Jade Void Breathing Technique, completely immersed in his practice.

About half a day later.

The boat stopped completely and would not move forward.

The abnormal change outside woke Li Youyi from his practice, curious why Seeing Yao Yin had stopped the boat.

Suddenly.

Outside the Ghost Banner, a faint, stifled whimpering sound came, gradually becoming painful, with rapid breathing, and the sound grew louder.

"What are you doing?"

Li Youyi crawled out of the Ghost Banner and stared at Seeing Yao Yin, who was curled up at the bow, trembling non-stop.

The light was too dim to see what she was doing.

Li Youyi observed his surroundings and found dense spider webs overhead, sleeping white spider fierce insects, and several hanging skeletons. He gasped: "Don't make too much noise. If you wake them up, the two of us will be hung up there today, and our flesh will be eaten clean."

There was no response for a long time.

Sensing that Seeing Yao Yin's state was very wrong, Li Youyi carefully crawled out of the Ghost Banner.

She was curled up like a kitten on the side of the road in winter, and he didn't know what kind of pain she was suffering, as her whimpering was hard to suppress.

"Why is it so cold?"

Li Youyi had just approached her when he felt bone-chilling cold. He gently touched her forehead and cheeks with his fingers, then her arms; her entire skin felt like ice.

Even more terrifying was that there were dense ice cracks on her skin.

Li Youyi didn't know what had happened to her, but her voice was getting louder, and the Winged White Spiders around them had begun to move slightly.

Logically, taking this opportunity to finish her off with one sword strike would solve the problem once and for all.

But since she hadn't taken advantage of him when he was vulnerable, Li Youyi naturally couldn't do it either.

"Forget it, I'll treat her like that baseball bat! I can't bear to break it with my own hands."

Li Youyi picked up Seeing Yao Yin, stuffed her into the Ghost Banner, and had her hold the hot Cistanche tightly. Naturally, he also fed her a mouthful. Whether she could survive depended on her own fortune.

Wrapping the Ghost Banner tightly, the muffled whimpering sound inside became extremely faint.

Drawing the Huang Long Sword, Li Youyi sat at the bow, preparing to cut the spider silk blocking the river.

A strange cry came from behind.

Without thinking, he turned around and swung his sword backhand, cutting the white spider silk flying toward him.

"Coo-coo!"

A fist-sized Winged White Spider crawled rapidly from a spider silk several zhang away and disappeared.

But the cry from its mouth woke up all the white spheres sleeping on both sides of the river. One by one, they raised their heads, revealing dark red eyes, dense like a sea of red stars.

"Damn it."

Li Youyi no longer acted cautiously; he just wanted to escape immediately. He used his magic power to drive the Huang Long Sword and swung it forward to clear the path.

Touched by the yellow sword light, all the spider silk melted instantly.

"Swish! Swish! Swish..."

Countless spider silks flew toward him from all directions.

"Wishful Universe Sword."

Li Youyi performed the second sword technique of the Chan Sect's Twelve Scattered Hands, erupting with the Heavenly Dao Law Convergence realm.

Once the sword move was released, one sword turned into a hundred.

The sword shadows were like a waterfall, defending him airtight.

All the spider silk was cut off.

But more spider silk attacked, and some white spiders flew directly onto the boat, flapping their wings.

In an instant, the entire spider cave was filled with dense cries, white spiders flying everywhere, their membrane wings as sharp as razor blades.

Li Youyi only held on for the time of one breath before immediately releasing the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors from the insect tube on his back to fight the spider swarm.

Catching his breath, he hurriedly cut off all the spider silk stuck to his body and went to the bow, swinging his sword to clear the path while holding an oar to row the boat quickly.

He only had Seven Springs cultivation and couldn't do what Hidden Twenty-Four did—releasing magic power to drive the wooden boat.

That was a method only available to the Five Seas Realm.

Fortunately, the boat was drifting downstream and was very fast.

"Aren't you Emperor-grade? Facing these soldier-grade fierce insects, can't you just release a wisp of aura to intimidate them?" Li Youyi was not very satisfied with the performance of the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

Immediately, three of the Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors went on strike.

Li Youyi hurriedly said: "I have a hundred jin of five-hundred-year-old Cistanche. Whoever kills the most fierce insects gets a bigger share. I am counting for you..."

The three striking Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors immediately flew up again, erupting with five-colored light, their combat state climbing to the peak, charging back and forth in the spider swarm.

Insect corpses fell like rain.

"Coo-coo!"

A very deep, loud cry sounded from deep within the cave on the right.

Li Youyi was immediately alert, discovering that deep in the cave grew a Cistanche emitting purple light, fully several dozen zhang away from the river.

This meant its age had reached eight or nine hundred years, not far from a thousand-year essence medicine.

"It has grown in this trial ground for eight or nine hundred years and hasn't been picked?"

Just as Li Youyi was puzzled, he saw a white spider the size of a face crawl out from the purple precious medicine's light, with four blood wings on its back.

That deep, loud cry came from its mouth.

"Clatter!"

The basin-sized white spider moved all eight legs, its speed as fast as a light shadow, charging toward the flat-bottomed boat in the river.

"This Spider King is definitely not soldier-grade!"

Li Youyi summoned the black iron seal without hesitation and struck it with the sword hilt.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder shook the entire cave, and electric light erupted like a light snake.

The Spider King, flying over with four wings, did not dodge or evade, spitting a ray of blood light from its mouth that collided with the electric light snake, actually managing to block it.

The four wings stirred up a violent wind, and it was getting closer.

Li Youyi's expression changed drastically. When had he ever faced such a terrifying fierce creature?

He took out the Evil Camel Bell and mobilized his magic power.

Regardless of whether he would be affected by evil thoughts, he just shook it frantically.

"Whoosh!"

A giant, half-virtual, half-real camel appeared on the boat, crashing into the Four-Winged Spider King flying before him. This strike finally knocked the Spider King flying backward.

But in an instant, the Four-Winged Spider King returned, its cry even more ferocious.

"Stop killing! Push the boat quickly and escape this place."

Li Youyi ordered the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors with telepathy. Although their bodies were small, their strength was great, and their speed was extremely fast.

Perhaps influenced by the Evil Camel Bell, five of them went crazy with killing, and only two obeyed the order to push the boat.

"Clang! Clang!"

He shook the Evil Camel Bell again, using the giant camel to knock the Four-Winged Spider King back for the second time.

His magic power was being consumed rapidly, and Li Youyi knew very well that he couldn't hold on for long. Of course, he had one more trump card: the Buddha Relic on the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

But the Four-Winged Spider King was too fast, and he could only collect it into the Blood Mud Space within three zhang.

The window of time was too short; a little slow, and his body would be torn to shreds. A little fast, and he couldn't collect it.

At the same time, the three masters were still in the Blood Mud Space; collecting a Spider King inside was also dangerous for them.

"Don't force me to break the wall and open the spring."

Li Youyi really didn't want to impact the Eighth Spring in such a dangerous way.

Although the flat-bottomed boat was sailing at high speed, the Four-Winged Spider King was in hot pursuit. After knocking it back for the third time, Li Youyi's body had a major problem: not only did a bell sound appear in his mind, but the Shi Liuyu Talisman on his chest also flickered, and his entire body rapidly became hot.

It was adding insult to injury; the Shi Liuyu Talisman was acting up at this critical moment.

"Coo-coo!"

The Four-Winged Spider King led a large group of white spiders flying at high speed, catching up.

There was no time to look for medicine pills.

Li Youyi's eyes were bloodshot. In the predicament of the Evil Camel Bell, the Shi Liuyu Talisman, and the life-and-death crisis before him, his emotions were ignited, and he roared: "Kill!"

Evil thoughts turned into fighting spirit, and the fire of desire ignited his hot blood, overriding all reason.

Riding the half-virtual, half-real camel and wielding the Huang Long Sword, he actually rushed out of the flat-bottomed boat, stepped onto the Blood River, and launched a counter-charge toward the spider swarm behind him.

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors were stunned, then turned into seven five-colored light trails and chased after him.

On the Blood River, a chaotic battle broke out, killing until the sky and earth turned dark.

"Bang! Bang..."

Li Youyi swung his sword with both hands, colliding fiercely with the Four-Winged Spider King. The wounds on his body kept increasing, cut by the sharp spider wings. But the more he fought, the more spirited he became, and his reason and consciousness gradually became clear.

"Why am I fighting the Spider King? Fortunately, I have the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors to help me, otherwise, I definitely couldn't have held on for so long. The so-called Guardian Wife is really unreliable; she doesn't even show up in such a dangerous situation."

"The back of my head hurts so much; it's the Wind Mansion..."

Li Youyi discovered that the Wind Mansion acupoint at the back of his head was in severe pain, as if a needle were pricking it. Instead of being shocked, he was overjoyed.

This was a sign that he was about to open the spring!

He hurriedly stabilized his spirit and consciousness, performed the breathing technique, and gradually, strands of magic power overflowed from the Wind Mansion acupoint.

Without hesitation, he used spirit light to drive the Buddha Relic, guiding the gentle space power to act on the Wind Mansion acupoint.

"Boom!"

A moment later, as Li Youyi slashed his sword toward the Four-Winged Spider King, the inner space beneath the Wind Mansion acupoint opened, and violent magic power surged out, causing this sword strike to erupt with unprecedented power.
