Chapter 382: Assisting the Benevolent Emperor
Chapter 382: Assisting the Benevolent Emperor
At the top of the cliff above the Illuminating Thunder Pool, Lingxi Zhenren took out a formation plate, a gift from her junior disciple Tong on her birthday.
Looking at the formation plate, her eyes reddened slightly.
She rubbed her eyes forcefully, dispelling stray thoughts and hesitating about setting up the formation to prepare before the lion returned.
Lingxi Zhenren had never imagined that she would feel so constrained by a little demon whose cultivation was far below her own.
In the past, she would have struck out with her palm without hesitation.
But it was that very palm strike that led to an irreversible outcome.
In the moment her mind wandered.
She suddenly heard a mocking voice behind her.
"Who are you waiting for?"
"..."
Lingxi Zhenren's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head in shock to see an exceptionally majestic figure.
Those golden, dazzling eyes were calmly fixed on her.
And next to this lion, a huge, dark spider was also staring at her with its countless eyes, blocking any path of retreat.
The next moment, the spider's spear-like arm stabbed out, shattering the formation plate in her hand.
The Xuanming Spider Emperor glanced at Shen Yi with displeasure.
This demon, with its strong habits, was just like that mother tiger—cut from the same cloth.
Clearly, it could have launched a sneak attack.
But before doing so, it had to make a fuss and show off its might.
Never mind...
The Xuanming Spider Emperor slowly raised its body. Before revealing itself, it had already scanned the surroundings cautiously, ensuring there were no ambushes.
Looking at Lingxi Zhenren's dirty face, her genuine fear seemed even worse than what the Golden Winged Demon Emperor had described.
Whether it launched a sneak attack or not didn't seem to make a difference.
"Why."
Lingxi Zhenren muttered to herself, on the verge of collapse.
She had been cautious enough and hadn't done anything wrong... so why were there still problems?
Were these demons truly so scheming and far-sighted?
Had they anticipated that she wouldn't escape the Thousand Demon Cave?
"I'll fight you to the death!"
With a cry of anguish, she waved her hands and unleashed two thick bursts of spiritual pressure.
As she made her move.
Shen Yi withdrew without hesitation, keeping a safe distance.
"..."
Seeing this, the Xuanming Spider Emperor's heart sank.
Although it knew that this lion was useless against a Consummate Void Amalgamation cultivator, its decisive reaction was still difficult to accept.
Once this matter was concluded, it would teach this lion the meaning of a Demon Emperor's wrath.
In an instant, the two bursts of spiritual pressure slammed into the spider, sending it flying back more than thirty feet.
Lingxi charged forward frantically.
The hand seals she formed changed constantly.
The surrounding spiritual energy instantly boiled, transforming into streaks of qi that resembled falling stars, each one the size of a mountain, and they all exploded on the spider!
"I'll kill you! Kill all of you!"
Tears streaked down Lingxi Zhenren's face, her screams piercing, and the Xuanming Spider Emperor was left dazed, constantly being forced back by the bursts of qi.
It didn't understand why the other party was acting like a rabid beast when it hadn't even touched her.
Lingxi Zhenren condensed another spiritual seal.
Finally, the Xuanming Spider Emperor's expression changed, turning slightly grave, but it was far from fearful.
It suddenly spat out a strand of spider silk that glowed with an eerie light, shooting towards Lingxi's shoulder.
This hasty attack naturally couldn't cause much harm to a Consummate Void Amalgamation cultivator.
The Xuanming Spider Emperor let out a cold laugh, and its spider-like arm stabbed out again, piercing Lingxi's shoulder with a puff.
It couldn't learn this technique, but that was only due to its demonic body's limitations.
This seal's trick might be more familiar to it than to Lingxi Zhenren.
"Ah..."
Lingxi cried out again, crying as she finished chanting the second incantation.
Her palm became a spiritual blade, slicing off the spider's leg with a crack.
Then, with a series of wet sounds, she pulled the spider's leg out from inside her body!
"..."
A strange look appeared in Shen Yi's eyes.
He had never seen such a cultivator before, emotionally fragile yet surprisingly capable in a fight.
She cried when she needed to and fought when necessary.
Having assessed the cultivator's strength, Shen Yi quietly extended his palm.
He had brought the Spider Emperor here, not to ambush and kill the disciple of Mount Wutong.
The reason he hadn't discussed this with that woman beforehand was simply that Shen Yi never trusted strangers, and he preferred to control the situation himself.
Killing the Spider Emperor today would be ideal, but if that proved impossible, he would at least have the Spider Emperor drive this woman away.
Of course, if this woman couldn't even manage to escape, he wouldn't mind lending her a hand.
In an instant, a wisp of black mist rose from the ground, reconnecting with the silk thread on Shen Yi's fingertip.
"Hiss!"
The Xuanming Spider Emperor was injured and quickly retracted its long leg.
It looked on with some surprise.
Lingxi's reaction at this moment was quite unlike the image the Golden Winged Demon Emperor had painted.
If it had been any other Demon Emperor, they would have suffered some losses today.
Fortunately, it was the Demon Emperor of the Eighth Cave.
To put it bluntly, almost all of Mount Wutong's cultivation techniques had come from the Secret Law Pavilion.
"Frostbite Heaven-Severing Art."
Lingxi Zhenren created some distance, and her palms suddenly swung out.
Five ice pillars that connected heaven and earth appeared out of thin air, intending to seal the Spider Emperor within.
"Chi."
The Xuanming Spider Emperor calmly retreated in one direction.
As if it had anticipated this, it dodged every ice pillar attack.
"Huit!"
Lingxi Zhenren panted heavily, suddenly feeling a deep sense of despair.
Her opponent seemed to know all her moves.
As long as she exhausted the surrounding spiritual energy, her demise would follow.
Just then, her expression changed, and even the Xuanming Spider Emperor was stunned for a moment.
The Spider Emperor's retreating motion suddenly stopped as if it had hit an invisible wall, and in an instant, surging black mist rose like flames.
"Iron Painting Silver Hook!"
Before the Xuanming Spider Emperor's furious roar could echo, the last sharp ice pillar pierced its abdomen, sending it flying into the sky.
"There's an ambush! You stupid pig, get over here and lend this Emperor a hand!"
The Spider Emperor shattered the ice pillar within its body and fell heavily to the ground, its body covered in frost.
In its panic, it roared at the lion.
"..."
Lingxi subconsciously looked at the lion, her eyes filled with wariness.
She hadn't forgotten how Mount Wutong had suffered losses at the hands of this lion many times before.
When she saw the lion take a step forward, her entire body trembled.
"Good."
Shen Yi looked down, his golden eyes suddenly becoming exceptionally calm.
Along with his words,
A huge brush appeared.
However, unlike the last time, the thick ink it drew this time was a dazzling scarlet red.
