Chapter 96 Everyone Has Their Own Hidden Motives! Kill One Person First!
"puff!"
"Snap!"
"ah--!"
Under the spider's ferocious attack, the four Qi Refining disciples' protective aura shattered like paper. Their bodies were instantly pierced and their limbs torn apart, and they collapsed into pools of blood, lifeless.
Inside the cave, only four Foundation Establishment cultivators—Lin Chuan, Han Li, Lü Tianmeng, and Han Wushuang—remained, along with the even more ferocious white jade spider.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and a palpable sense of impending doom.
"Gentlemen, stop holding back! Otherwise, we'll all die here!" Lü Tianmeng said first, his face grim. He could tell that Lin Chuan and Han Li were clearly not using their full strength.
He was the first to reveal his trump card, patting a bulging spirit beast pouch at his waist. The pouch opened, and a beam of yellow light shot out, transforming into a huge yellow phantom pouch that descended upon the white jade spider!
It's actually a rare magical artifact for collecting and absorbing!
The bag instantly enveloped the spider and tightened. The spider struggled violently inside, and sharp outlines bulged out from the bag's surface.
"Take it away!" Lü Tianmeng unleashed his full magical power.
However, it only lasted for two breaths.
"Sizzle—!"
With a deafening ripping sound, the phantom yellow bag was ripped apart from the inside by the spider's sharp toes!
The spiritual light dissipated, turning into a tattered piece of cloth that drifted down.
Lu Tianmeng groaned, his magic weapon destroyed and his mind injured.
The freed spider was enraged, its scarlet compound eyes fixed on Lü Tianmeng, poised to pounce!
"Let me trap it!" Seeing this, Lin Chuan made his move at the opportune moment. He summoned the top-tier magic weapon he obtained from Xuan Le—the Heaven-Covering Bell!
The small yellow bell grew rapidly in the wind, instantly becoming several meters in size. With its mouth facing down, it emitted a powerful suppressive suction force, firmly trapping the spider inside the bell while it had just torn the bag apart and its old power had dissipated before new power could be generated!
"when--!"
The bell emitted a dull hum and trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the spider inside was frantically trying to break through the sturdy bell body, which was mixed with a trace of "copper essence".
"Good! Junior Brother Lin is well-prepared!" A glint of joy flashed in Lü Tianmeng's eyes, then he shouted sharply, "This beast's carapace is hard; ordinary attacks will be ineffective! I will protect you all and unleash my talisman to slay this beast! Junior Brother Han, Fellow Daoist Han, please join me in protecting the Dharma and withstand any possible aftershocks from this beast!"
As he spoke, he actually took out a bright green talisman and began to infuse it with magical power.
The talisman shone brightly, quickly transforming into a phantom of a jade ruler in emerald green. Then, it multiplied into two, then four... In the blink of an eye, it transformed into hundreds of small green ruler shadows, hovering above his head and radiating a sharp aura.
"Very well! Fellow Daoist Lü will take the lead in the attack, and I will also use my talisman to assist from the side, ensuring everything goes smoothly!"
Upon seeing this, Han Wushuang's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately took out a dark red talisman and began to activate it.
The talisman transformed into a blood-red, menacing flying knife phantom, hovering in front of him.
Blood Fiend Blade Talisman Treasure!
Lin Chuan's eyes narrowed; he was all too familiar with this talisman!
It was the same talisman treasure obtained when Han Tianya of Huadaowu was killed in the Blood Forbidden Land! It seems that Han Wushuang and Han Tianya have a close relationship, most likely uncle and nephew or relatives.
The two appeared to be working together, but in reality, they were each on guard, their magical power surging into the talisman, ready to unleash its power.
However, just as their magical artifacts were about to be fully activated, and their attack seemed to have locked onto the spider trapped inside the bell—
A sudden change has occurred!
"go!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lü Tianmeng's eyes, and hundreds of green ruler shadows above his head suddenly changed direction. Like a storm, they did not shoot towards the Heaven-Covering Bell, but instead bombarded Lin Chuan, who was controlling the Heaven-Covering Bell and seemed to be completely unprepared!
"Kill!" Almost simultaneously, Han Wushuang shouted, and the blood-red flying knife talisman transformed into a deadly bloodline, not attacking the spider, but directly targeting Han Li, who was standing behind Lin Chuan and cautiously observing the situation!
Just as the divination indicated, these two had no intention of dealing with the spider first. Instead, they wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate their "obstacle" companion and monopolize the teleportation array and the bone token!
Han Li remained highly vigilant. Upon seeing this, his expression changed, and he moved with a mysterious step, his figure retreating rapidly like a ghost. At the same time, a small cyan shield and several defensive talismans instantly activated to protect him—this was his trump card, the Luo Yan Step, and the rapid reaction brought about by his cautious nature!
"Clang! Clang! Pfft!"
The green shadow mostly slammed into a massive, earthen-yellow shield covered in tortoise-shell patterns that suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chuan, producing a series of loud impacts. The shield flashed with spiritual light, yet it steadily blocked the attack. The wildly popular online novel, "In Yellow Maple Valley, a Daily Divination for Steady Immortality!", is a heartfelt work by the author, who updates daily with 100,000 words, available exclusively on Cola Novels.
The few figures that managed to bypass the shield were all blocked by the yellow light shield cast by the yellow parasol that Lin Chuan had quietly conjured above his head.
Han Wushuang's blood-red flying knife was barely deflected by a small cyan shield and several layers of talisman light barriers that Han Li had activated in advance. It grazed Han Wushuang's ribs, leaving a trail of blood droplets, but failed to cause a fatal wound.
"What?!"
Lu Tianmeng was startled to see that Lin Chuan seemed to have been prepared all along, with such tight defenses.
Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the spider darted out like a white lightning bolt, its sharp, spear-like forelimbs whistling through the air with a terrifying sound, fiercely stabbing towards Lü Tianmeng, who was standing close by and whose attention was slightly distracted by his sneak attack on Lin Chuan!
"No--!"
Lu Tianmeng was terrified and only had time to turn to the side and activate a layer of protective spiritual light.
"Pfft!"
The protective aura shattered like a bubble, and a crystal-clear, jade-like spider foreleg pierced his chest with precision and cruelty, sending him flying into the air, where he was suspended in mid-air!
Lu Tianmeng's eyes widened in disbelief, horror, and despair. He opened his mouth to say something, but only mouthfuls of blood gushed out, and his life force rapidly ebbed away.
"Sizzle—" The spider flicked its forelegs, sending Lü Tianmeng's corpse flying like a rag doll. It slammed heavily against the stone wall in the distance with a muffled thud, and then fell silent.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Han Wushuang's attack failed, and instead, he saw Lü Tianmeng being instantly killed by the spider. His face turned ashen!
"I underestimated the two of you!"
Han Wushuang stared intently at Han Li, who had only suffered minor injuries and quickly regained his footing, and Lin Chuan, whose defenses were intact and whose eyes were icy cold, and said in a chilling voice:
"I didn't expect that fool Lü Tianmeng to die first. But, with just the two of you, one in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and the other in the early-Foundation Establishment stage, how long can you withstand my Blood Fiend Blade Talisman?"
As he spoke, he fully activated the blood-red flying knife, making it shine even brighter and exuding a murderous aura. He then locked onto Han Li, whose defenses appeared relatively weak, clearly intending to eliminate one of them first.
"You think you're the only one with the Blood Fiend Blade Talisman?" Lin Chuan sneered, no longer trying to hide his true feelings.
He also patted his storage bag, and a dark red talisman exuding a fierce aura appeared in his hand—it was the Blood Fiend Blade Talisman Treasure he obtained from Han Tianya!
Pure cyan-gold true essence surged in like a tide, the talisman shone brightly with blood-red light, and a blood-red flying knife phantom, almost identical to Han Wushuang's, only with a more condensed aura, quickly condensed in front of him!
"What?!" Han Wushuang's pupils shrank drastically as he stared intently at the talisman in Lin Chuan's hand. His face then contorted with unbelievable rage and murderous intent. "This talisman... it's you! My nephew, Han Tianya, disappeared in the Blood Forbidden Land years ago, and you actually killed him?!"
"Go to hell!"
Hatred and greed intertwined, Han Wushuang roared, controlling his blood-red flying knife to abandon Han Li and transform into an even more ferocious blood line, piercing straight at Lin Chuan!
He wanted to avenge his nephew and eliminate this threat who possessed a talisman of the same level!
"call out!"
The bloodline pierced the air at an extreme speed.
However, Lin Chuan was prepared. The yellow umbrella above his head shone steadily, and the giant tortoise-shell shield in front of him firmly protected his front. At the same time, he moved rapidly and did not try to withstand the attack head-on.
Although the talisman's attack is powerful, it still requires mental focus to control, and it is not impossible to dodge.
More importantly, Lin Chuan's own Blood Fiend Blade Talisman Treasure has also been fully activated!
"go!"
Lin Chuan shouted, and the blood-red throwing knife in front of him also shot out as blood lines. Instead of directly attacking, he cleverly entangled, collided, consumed each other, and restrained Han Wushuang's throwing knife in the air!
"Clang! Clang!"
Two blood-red flying knives, transformed from talismans, clashed fiercely in the air, emitting ear-piercing metallic clangs and energy explosions, and for a time it was difficult to determine which was superior.
On the other side, after the freed white jade spider killed Lü Tianmeng, its scarlet compound eyes immediately locked onto Han Wushuang and Lin Chuan, who were closest to it. It let out a violent hiss and pounced with all eight legs!
"Junior Brother Han, lend me a hand and let's kill this man first!"
While controlling the talisman to fight Han Wushuang, Lin Chuan shouted to Han Li.
He didn't want to consume too much of the spiritual spikes stored in the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword" at this moment, because he needed powerful spiritual energy to suppress the Blood Jade Spider when he cast the "Spirit Summoning Seal".
