Chapter 131 - 128: The Fake Mo Qianqian’s Purpose

Yu Wenshuo and the other members of the Yuwen family turned pale.

Although high-level experts of the Tongyou Realm wouldn’t enter, that was only under normal circumstances. The reason they dared to let Lie Yao enter was because they held distress signal flares. If they encountered a crisis, they could call for help. Since this place was only about a hundred miles deep, if their Grand Elder and the others rushed in at full speed, they would arrive very quickly.

However, the other party had directly fired off the distress signals of their three major families. Obviously, this was premeditated—they wanted to lure the experts of the three major families in!

Ling Qingxue’s expression instantly darkened. It wasn’t as if she had entered Black Demon Ridge unprepared, but it turned out her opponent didn’t actually intend to fight her. Instead, knowing about the Black Widow, they wanted to lure their experts in to completely enrage it!

By then, it would be a bitter fight to the death. It was truly unimaginable what would happen once the terrifying Black Widow was fully enraged. This completely exceeded her expectations!

Nevertheless, Ling Qingxue erupted with extreme speed, instantly charging forward to kill Mo Qianqian first. She understood Mo Qianqian too well. His potential was simply too great; he absolutely could not be kept alive!

However, right at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

SWISH!

Zhongli Xuan crushed something unknown in her mouth, and a burst of light instantly enveloped her body. The light then swept her and the long rope along, shooting forward at breakneck speed. The long rope was directly snapped from the person pulling it, causing them to stumble forward quite a distance and nearly fall over.

Enveloped in radiance, Zhongli Xuan dashed right past Ling Qingxue. She rushed to the side of the fake Mo Qianqian, who reached out and grabbed hold of her. The two of them then vanished from everyone’s sight at extreme speed. Ling Qingxue couldn’t catch up to them at all.

"Chase them!" Ling Qingxue ordered, swiftly pursuing in the direction the fake Mo Qianqian had fled.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat from here immediately!" Lie Yao shouted decisively, turning around and frantically falling back. He knew that a massive danger would inevitably descend upon this place, and they couldn’t afford to wait for their Grand Elder and the rest to arrive. Faced with the Black Widow, they wouldn’t be of any help at all.

"Retreat to the side!" Mo Qianqian called out almost at the same time. He felt it was unsafe to retreat backward, as danger might be lurking behind them. As for the front, since the fake Mo Qianqian and his companion dared to flee in that direction, there was likely an ambush waiting. The sides were perhaps the best choice.

However, Chu He sprinted in the direction Ling Qingxue and the three members of the Ling family were pursuing.

"Chu He!" Xian Ling’Er cried out, chasing after him.

Seeing this, Mo Qianqian’s expression changed.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Right at this moment, Black Demon Spiders suddenly burst out from the surrounding ground one after another. Even the smallest of them were the size of a human, while the larger ones had bodies and heads measuring nearly five feet wide and ten feet long.

The exoskeletons on their bodies and heads were pitch-black and smooth, resembling walls of bronze and iron that looked incomparably hard. Their oval heads possessed eight single eyes and a pair of razor-sharp mandibles, along with three pairs of long legs that stood on the ground like black spears.

"Black Demon Spiders!" The crowd that had just started falling back was collectively horrified.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The Black Demon Spiders emerging from all directions suddenly shot spider webs from their abdomens, attacking the Tongyou Realm experts who had leaped into the air.

SWISH!

In that split second, a five-foot-wide Black Demon Spider burst out in front of Xian Ling’Er, thrusting one of its twenty-foot-long front legs toward her. Greatly alarmed, Xian Ling’Er dodged to the side while hastily channeling her Spirit Body, reaching out to grab the razor-sharp leg.

However, the Black Demon Spider’s strength was far too immense. Combined with the smoothness of the leg, Xian Ling’Er—who was only at the First-Grade Spirit Master Realm—couldn’t grip it with her Spirit Body at all. The leg directly pierced into her Spirit Body.

BANG!

Xian Ling’Er’s Spirit Body was completely shattered by the strike. She coughed up a large mouthful of blood, her physical body knocked backward by the shockwave of her collapsing Spirit. Yet, in that very instant, the Black Demon Spider thrust another leg toward Xian Ling’Er’s physical body. She was instantly thrust into a life-or-death crisis.

BANG!

At that critical moment, Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body manifested, crashing violently into the base of the Black Demon Spider’s leg and sending the entire creature flying. The leg aimed at Xian Ling’Er failed to land, and she narrowly escaped death.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

At the same time, many of those around them who had taken to the air to flee were snared by webs and violently yanked back down to the ground. Some had their bodies pierced through by the mandibles of the Black Demon Spiders as they fell, dying on the spot. Others were impaled through their bodies or limbs by the spiders’ legs upon landing.

"You can’t help him, let’s go!" Mo Qianqian hastily shouted. Simultaneously, he yelled to the other three Tongyou Realm experts of the Asura Conglomerate, "Retreat along the ground! Don’t fly in the air!"

As he shouted, Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body scooped up Xian Ling’Er’s physical form, carrying her along as they retreated to the side.

Up ahead, Chu He turned his head and shouted to Mo Qianqian, "Asura, take good care of her!"

With that, Chu He resolently continued chasing in the direction Ling Qingxue had gone. Xian Ling’Er’s body trembled violently, tears welling up and swirling in her eyes.

Mo Qianqian, Shi Muyao, and the three Tongyou Realm experts from the Asura Conglomerate dashed toward the flank. Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body brought Xian Ling’Er over to his side. He wrapped one arm around her, and his Spirit Body instantly vanished. Then, it reappeared in front of them, as several Black Demon Spiders were charging straight at them.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The three Tongyou Realm experts also surged forward, swinging their swords and sabers to smash three Black Demon Spiders away. The exoskeletons of the Black Demon Spiders were simply too hard. Even Tongyou Realm experts couldn’t cut through them; they could only knock the creatures back.

As for the remaining one, a mass of transparent, flame-like substance manifested on the palm of Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body, and he pressed it directly against the Black Demon Spider’s head.

HISS!

The exoskeleton on the Black Demon Spider’s head was instantly corroded away, revealing the bloody flesh underneath. The corrosion rapidly spread across its entire body.

SCREECH!

The Black Demon Spider let out a low yet ear-piercing shriek of agony. The exoskeleton on its main body and the outer shells of its legs were all eaten away. In an instant, the entire Black Demon Spider was reduced to a mound of gory flesh, collapsing into a bloody heap.

"It works!" Mo Qianqian rejoiced. The Black Demon Spiders boasted incredibly powerful defenses, but against his Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source, their exoskeletons were easily dealt with!

He finally understood why Ling Qingxue had sought his help. With him around, as long as the Black Demon Spiders they encountered weren’t overly powerful, he could dispose of them effortlessly! It could be said that with his Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source, he was the absolute nemesis of the Black Demon Spiders!

The trio from the Asura Conglomerate and Shi Muyao were astonished, quickly followed by elation. Since Asura’s Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source perfectly countered the Black Demon Spiders, they would be far safer.

Mo Qianqian’s group sprinted madly in this direction. Along the way, the lunging Black Demon Spiders were continuously dispatched by Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body. In no time at all, Mo Qianqian and the other five burst out of the Demon Dragon Valley area, becoming the first group to break free from the encirclement of the massive swarm of Black Demon Spiders.

"Proceed forward to the right, then shift forward to the left after three hundred yards," the voice of a mysterious woman suddenly transmitted from the shadow by Mo Qianqian’s side.

Mo Qianqian’s heart leaped with joy once more. Not only did he have a sharp weapon like the Bone-Eroding Spiritual Source, but he also had the mysterious woman guiding him. Escaping this area would not be difficult.

Some time later.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of deafening explosions from a battle suddenly echoed from far behind them. Mo Qianqian glanced back, and the scene unfolding in the distance left him astounded.
