Chapter 119: Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances

~11 min read 2,140 words

Just as the group was forced back and their formation broken by the poisonous mist, Yu Feng had already sent Zhu Zhuqing outside the arena, eliminating her.

"He broke my poison?" Dugu Yan frowned as she watched the scene before her.

"It's the alcohol." Shi Quan gently patted Dugu Yan's shoulder and said, "Phoenix flames possess a restraining effect on toxins, and with the addition of the alcohol, your toxins were completely burned away."

"A bit interesting." Hearing Shi Quan say this, a hint of interest appeared in the depths of Dugu Yan's eyes, and she turned to begin spraying green poisonous mist.

"Shi brothers! You handle the rabbit and the sick cat." Following Shi Quan's order.

The heads and legs of the Black Tortoise martial soul Spirit Masters, the Shi brothers, had already emerged from their shells. After consuming the anti-poison item, the two simultaneously let out a low roar, their second soul rings suddenly flashed, and a faint light lit up around the edges of their tortoise shells.

The next second, the tortoise shells on their chests and backs strangely detached, moving into their hands to become two giant tortoise shell shields with a diameter of one meter.

As the tortoise shells spun and flew out, the Blue Silver King transformed along their bodies into a set of simple armor.

Then Shi Quan stepped forward, toying with a Blue Silver King grass leaf in his hand, his gaze locked onto Tang San, while the Blue Silver King around Yu Tianheng simultaneously receded.

Having lost their tortoise shells, they were not only much shorter than before they used their martial souls, but their sturdy physiques had also become thin and weak; it was clearly their weakest moment in terms of defense. If he could succeed in a surprise attack, perhaps he could eliminate two of the Imperial Fighting Team's major combat forces.

"If you can't win head-on, you can only play with some low-class tricks." Shi Quan's disdainful voice rang out, and as the Blue Silver King vines surged, they blocked all of the Hidden Weapons Tang San had thrown.

Watching the long sword thrusting toward him, Tang San did not dodge or evade, raising his hand to strike directly at the long sword.

"Tianheng, you take care of that chicken, Yu Feng, you go straight for the back row!" With a pull and a swing of Shi Quan's hand, Yu Tianheng's figure arrived not far from Ma Hongjun.

Clang, clang, clang!

The long sword danced as if alive, and with a few crisp sounds, all the incoming Hidden Weapons were blocked by Shi Quan.

Ma Hongjun's situation was much the same; the eleven-level soul power gap forced him to use his soul skills frantically without regard for consumption. Facing Yu Tianheng, he feared he wouldn't last as long as Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong, having eaten the Flying Mushroom Sausage, could barely maintain their buffs on the others, but the Flying Mushroom Sausage could only last for one minute. Once time was up, facing Yu Feng's attacks, the two would inevitably be unable to resist.

The only chance to win now was to take down the Shi Quan in front of them!

The decision was made.

"I can't hold back anymore." A bright purple light shone in Tang San's eyes, his hands dropped to his waist, and the next second, several cold glints flew out, targeting the Shi brothers who were controlling the tortoise shells.

Coupled with the influence of the toxins, everyone except him was somewhat affected.

Tang San took a wide step out, his feet treading the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track as he rushed toward Shi Quan, his hands flickering with cold light as he continuously threw them out.

Dai Mubai wanted to support Ma Hongjun, but after slapping away a flying tortoise shell with his palm, his expression changed immediately. He discovered that the power of the Shi brothers' tortoise shells was not weak at all. After a simple collision, he immediately determined that the strength of these Shi brothers was likely not much inferior to Yu Tianheng, the possessor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

At this moment, he had to stand out and tear open a gap.

As Yu Tianheng approached, Ma Hongjun dared not delay Yu Feng in the sky any longer and had to quickly shift his target to face Yu Tianheng. At this point, he could no longer care about the consumption of his internal soul power, and he continuously sprayed Phoenix Fire Line toward Yu Tianheng, only able to delay him as much as possible.

"I must quickly resolve Shi Quan; his influence on the battle is too great." Tang San looked around.

Tang San no longer hesitated, his footwork becoming even more rapid. In the span of just one or two breaths, Tang San arrived before Shi Quan, the purple light in his eyes erupting to the extreme, his gaze locked firmly onto Shi Quan's long sword.

The battle between Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters was also not something that could be resolved in a short time.

"Weapons used in the shadows?" Shi Quan laughed aloud, a long sword appearing in his hand, "If that's not low-class, what is?"

"Low-class?" A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, "This is called... Hidden Weapon!"

Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he began to continuously analyze the situation on the field. He felt a sense of helplessness in his heart; the soul power gap was simply too large, and because the plan failed, his side had already lost Zhu Zhuqing at the very beginning.

No matter how sharp a long sword is, it is ultimately a mortal weapon. With the reinforcement of the Mysterious Jade Hand, Tang San was confident the sword could not hurt him.

"Mysterious Jade Hand?" Shi Quan's eyes flickered, a hint of mockery appearing in their depths.

He had previously used the Nine Swords of Dugu mostly to train sword forms and cultivate sword intent, relying on the profundity of the Sword Technique to face enemies.

That did not mean the power of the Sword Technique was only this much.

"Palm Breaking!"

Shi Quan's lips parted slightly as he uttered these two words, his Internal Energy circulating and gathering upon the long sword, a sharp aura erupting suddenly.

Tang San's expression changed abruptly. The moment his Mysterious Jade Hand touched the long sword, he felt an extremely sharp aura. A powerful wave of soul power erupted instantly; he had never expected Shi Quan's soul power level to be so much higher than his own.

The next second, heart-wrenching pain came from his palm. He saw that his pride and joy, the Mysterious Jade Hand, had actually been broken by Shi Quan, and the long sword had directly pierced through his arm.

At this time, he could not care about so much, enduring the pain to forcibly exert the Mysterious Jade Hand to clamp down on the long sword. A cold glint flashed through his eyes, and eight emerald lights suddenly bloomed from Tang San's back. Eight smooth, emerald-green Spider Spears thrust toward Shi Quan from eight directions simultaneously.

Shi Quan's pupils constricted; these eight Spider Spears were seven or eight parts similar to the original Eight Spider Lances, but the aura they emitted was completely different.

He had clearly already snatched Tang San's Eight Spider Lances from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, so how did he obtain another set of Eight Spider Lances now?

In the blink of an eye, the long sword could no longer be retracted. Shi Quan raised his hand and shook it, the refined iron long sword in his hand shattering violently. The blade turned into flying shards and exploded instantly. While the thrusting Spider Spears were knocked aside, Shi Quan's figure also retreated rapidly toward the rear.

How could Tang San let such a good opportunity pass? The new emerald-green Eight Spider Lances danced rapidly, blocking all the scattered flying shards. His hands swept across his waist, and several more cold glints flew out as his third soul ring finally lit up.

An emerald-green ball of light hid behind the cold glints and flew toward Shi Quan.

How sharp was Shi Quan's observation? How could he not have noticed Tang San's small movements? Raising his hand to wave it rapidly, his second soul ring lit up. Although Shi Quan could not yet perform Flying Flower Plucking Leaf, the hardened Blue Silver King grass leaves could also be used as weapons.

Turning his body, the hardened Blue Silver King branches and leaves flew out, blocking all the Hidden Weapons. At the same time, a Blue Silver long spear appeared in Shi Quan's hand. Raising his hand to thrust, Shi Quan prepared to knock the green ball of light away.

However, the next second, the ball of light instantly expanded, transforming into a large net five meters in diameter that descended from the sky.

"Not only did he get a new set of Eight Spider Lances, but even the soul skill is so similar?" Shi Quan's pupils shrank.

Watching the spider web descending from the sky, Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged. His first soul ring lit up, and he raised his hand to swing. Centered on Shi Quan, ten Blue Silver King vines suddenly erupted within a five-meter radius. Then, the hardening ability was activated, and ten Blue Silver vine pillars stood around Shi Quan.

The spider web was thus held firmly in mid-air.

"This is..." Feeling the strange movement transmitted from the Blue Silver King vines, Shi Quan's gaze returned to the emerald-green Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San, "... Soul-Devouring Demon Spider!?"

Shi Quan could feel the Devour power coming from the Blue Silver King vine pillars. Combined with the spider legs behind Tang San, this soul ring and soul bone most likely came from a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider. The strength of a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider was no weaker than a Man-Faced Demon Spider, and one could even say it was stronger.

After plotting for so long and snatching the Eight Spider Lances of a Man-Faced Demon Spider, he ended up gifting Tang San a set of Soul-Devouring Demon Spider Eight Spider Lances?

"Does destiny have a certain corrective nature? Or was it specifically arranged by some people... or gods?" Shi Quan's heart tightened.

Tang San looked at the scene before him with an ugly expression. He had not expected his spider web to be blocked in such a manner.

But he was still very confident in his third soul skill, because his third soul skill, Soul-Devouring Spider Web, could devour the opponent's soul power upon contact and absorb it to convert into his own soul power to replenish himself, even if it were a martial soul.

But soon, Tang San discovered that he had not felt a single bit of soul power feedback from the Soul-Devouring Spider Web.

The devouring ability of the Soul-Devouring Spider Web was actually ineffective against Shi Quan's Blue Silver Grass?

"How is this possible?" Tang San felt puzzled and confused in his heart.

This is certainly possible, because Shi Quan possesses the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears External Spirit Bone within his body; although Shi Quan is not using it, the sacred aura within it can also isolate Tang San's Devour ability, and furthermore, the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears itself also has a Devour ability. If it comes to comparing Devour abilities, the Devour ability brought to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass by the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider simply cannot compare to the Devour ability of the Blue Silver King itself and the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears.

But Shi Quan does not intend to expose the existence of the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears right now; in his plan, he intends to obtain his Fourth Spirit Ring, and then use that to reveal his External Spirit Bone, the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears.

Although he does not understand why the Devour ability of his Soul-Devouring Spider Web failed, he still has his External Spirit Bone, the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances!

The sharp Spider Spears quickly pursued Shi Quan, whose figure moved between the vine pillars of the Blue Silver King; although the Eight Spider Lances are agile, in a narrow space, the long and slender Spider Spears become an obstruction.

Bang, bang, bang.

The Devour ability of the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances is indeed stronger, and it is also extremely sharp itself; the Hardening ability quickly collapsed in the face of his Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances.

Seeing this, Shi Quan immediately retreated from the range of the Blue Silver King's vine pillars, his expression still without the slightest panic; suddenly, Shi Quan seemed to have found an opportunity, and the Third Soul Ring beneath him suddenly lit up...
