Chapter 97 Enslaving Level 4 Blood Jade Spiders!
Lin Chuan had a sudden thought.
The Sky-Covering Bell, which had been hovering to the side, activated again, spewing out yellow light from its mouth and a suction force enveloping the white jade spider that was about to pounce!
The spider paused, slightly hindered by this force.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Han Li did not hesitate.
Although cautious, he knew this was a matter of life and death, and given their previous acquaintance, he was more inclined to trust Lin Chuan than the clearly malicious Han Wushuang and Lü Tianmeng. Moreover, Lin Chuan's demonstrated strength and hidden cards gave him a glimpse of victory.
He no longer held back, summoning a top-tier flying sword artifact of excellent quality, which transformed into a sharp cyan sword light. Combined with several attack talismans, it attacked Han Wushuang from the side, who was fully focused on controlling the talisman treasure and unable to concentrate!
Han Wushuang's expression changed drastically!
He had to focus on controlling the talisman to fight Lin Chuan, while also having to defend against Han Li's attacks, leaving him in a difficult situation.
He quickly summoned another high-quality shield-like magical artifact to try and block Han Li's flying sword.
"Clang! Boom!"
Han Li's flying sword and talisman attacks came one after another. Although they failed to break through the shield defense immediately, they greatly increased the pressure on Han Wushuang, and the accuracy of his control over the talisman treasures obviously decreased.
Lin Chuan seized the opportunity, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and finally unleashed his trump card that he had been keeping hidden all along!
A pair of curved blades, entirely dark gold with gleaming black light flowing from their edges, flew out from his sleeves. They were the top-tier complete set of magical artifacts—the Golden Mantis Twin Blades—forged from the forelimbs of the Golden-backed Demon Mantis!
The two swords came together in mid-air, the latches on the hilts snapping shut with precision, instantly transforming into a gigantic double-headed scimitar with a ferocious shape, over six feet long, and exuding a terrifyingly sharp aura!
"cut!"
Lin Chuan shouted, his divine sense controlling the giant curved blade, which transformed into a dark golden light that was difficult to see with the naked eye. With a speed far exceeding that of ordinary magic weapons, it bypassed Han Wushuang's flying knife, which was entangled with the Blood Fiend Blade Talisman, and went straight for its main body!
Han Wushuang was horrified and hurriedly manipulated the shield to turn and block.
"Snap—!!!"
A sickeningly sharp cracking sound!
That high-quality, top-tier defensive shield was cleaved in two like rotten wood by the combined Golden Mantis Twin Blades! Its spiritual light vanished instantly!
"What?!" Han Wushuang was terrified. He knew very well the shield's defensive capabilities; how could it not even withstand a single strike?
The dark golden blade light broke through the shield, its momentum still strong. Although Han Wushuang's hastily activated layers of protective spiritual light and an inner armor barely offset most of its power, it still caused his blood and qi to surge, and his protective spiritual light to fluctuate violently, creating a momentary opening!
It's now!
Lin Chuan's mind raced, and the Blood Fiend Blade Talisman, which had been locked in combat with Han Wushuang's flying daggers, suddenly exerted its power, forcing Han Wushuang back slightly. Then, a flash of blade light appeared!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered!
Han Wushuang's protective aura was finally shattered, and the blood-red flying knife phantom swept past his neck!
His eyes widened, his face still showing shock, resentment, and disbelief. His head slowly tilted to the side, then his body stiffened, and he fell from the sky, lifeless.
The two blood-red flying knives that were locked in combat in the air lost their spiritual light as Han Wushuang died, turning into two slightly tattered talismans that drifted to the ground.
Lin Chuan's talisman also dimmed and flew back into his hand. Its spiritual power was greatly diminished, but it could still be used.
Everything has settled down.
Inside the cave, only Lin Chuan, Han Li, and the white jade spider, which was temporarily trapped again by the Heaven-Covering Bell and was frantically crashing inside the bell, remained.
Lin Chuan quickly stepped forward and collected all of Lü Tianmeng and Han Wushuang's storage bags, magical artifacts, and talismans with swift and decisive movements.
Han Li watched quietly from the side, without stepping forward to compete.
Having witnessed the terrifying power of Lin Chuan's Golden Mantis Twin Blades, Blood Fiend Blade Talisman, and the obviously high-grade defensive magic weapon, he knew that the gap between his strength and that of this Senior Brother Lin was already quite large.
Moreover, although he assisted in killing Han Wushuang, the main credit undoubtedly went to Lin Chuan.
"Senior Brother's divine might is truly admirable. I didn't contribute much just now, so these spoils naturally belong to Senior Brother." Han Li tactfully took the initiative to speak up and express his attitude.
"Junior Brother Han, you're too kind. Without your restraint, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. In that case, I, Lin, am truly unworthy of your thanks." Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony, nodded, and put the items away. Now was not the time for polite refusals.
"Senior brother, what should we do with this spider? Should we release it?"
Han Li looked at the ferocious creature that was still crashing into the Heaven-Covering Bell and frowned. He was puzzled; it seemed that Senior Brother Lin did not intend to kill the spider directly.
"Yes, it's time."
Lin Chuan's expression turned solemn, and he nodded. He withdrew his magical support for the Heaven-Covering Bell.
The yellow light from the Heaven-Covering Bell receded, quickly shrinking and flying back.
Freed from its restraints, the white jade spider crashed to the ground. Its scarlet compound eyes instantly locked onto the two remaining living creatures in the cave. With a hiss, it lunged forward with a ferocious aura!
However, just as it was about to launch its attack—
A pale golden light suddenly shone in Lin Chuan's eyes!
Within the Divine Court's Sea of Consciousness, after cultivating the second level of the "Great Evolution Technique," a vast and condensed divine consciousness power far exceeding that of others of the same level surged forth.
Following the trajectory of the "Spirit Seal" secret technique, they rapidly converge and condense!
A strange mark, composed of pure divine consciousness, pale gold in color, with countless profound suppressing runes flowing across its surface, instantly formed in front of his brow. It then transformed into an invisible and intangible stream of light carrying powerful divine soul fluctuations, ignoring spatial distance and directly entering the Blood Jade Spider's brow!
"roar--!!!"
The Blood Jade Spider's massive body suddenly trembled violently! It let out a terrifying roar filled with pain, rage, and struggle! In its scarlet compound eyes, a ferocious light flashed, intertwined with a trace of confusion, resistance, and madness. Its eight long legs lashed wildly uncontrollably, slamming the ground and sending shards of stone flying!
Its unawakened but naturally powerful demonic soul is instinctively and frantically resisting and attacking the "Spirit Seal" that is trying to invade its origin and establish a master-servant connection!
Lin Chuan's face paled slightly, but his eyes remained resolute.
He was prepared. In his divine sea of consciousness, the thirty-six pale golden divine consciousness spikes that had been poised to strike did not shoot out an attack. Instead, they acted like the strongest dam and chains, firmly protecting his own sea of consciousness.
At the same time, more and purer divine power was continuously injected into the Spirit Seal that was struggling and sinking in the Spider Soul!
The Spirit Seal's light flickered, but supported by Lin Chuan's powerful divine sense, which far surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it stubbornly resisted the impact and gradually extended its "roots" into the depths of the spider's soul.
This process lasted for about ten breaths. The Blood Jade Spider's struggles and roars gradually subsided, and the ferocious light in its eyes slowly faded, replaced by a slightly dazed expression. However, when it looked at Lin Chuan, it carried a respect, fear, and obedience that came from its very soul.
Its massive body ceased its meaningless flailing, and it obediently lay down, its head slightly lowered, emitting a low, no longer hostile whimper.
It worked!
Lin Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief, his complexion regaining its rosy hue.
He could clearly feel that a strong connection of consciousness had been established between himself and the level-four demonic beast, the Blood Jade Spider.
Although the connection is still in its early stages and complex communication is not possible because the other party is not yet sentient, basic command transmission and sensing are no problem.
"This...this..."
Han Li, who was standing to the side, was already dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief!
He witnessed Lin Chuan subdue a ferocious level four demonic beast, which even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would find difficult to deal with, in a short period of time using some kind of secret technique!
This completely overturned his understanding of the way of taming and controlling beasts in the cultivation world!
Ordinary cultivators tame spirit pets by either raising them from a young age and building affection and trust;
Either obtain a spirit beast egg or cub and sign a contract using the secret method of essence and blood;
Alternatively, one could overwhelm the opponent with absolute power, using special pills or restrictions to barely control them...
Such a direct and rapid "forced enslavement" of adult, wild, and ferocious monsters is unheard of!
This Senior Brother Lin is not only unfathomably powerful, but also possesses an endless array of mysterious and unpredictable methods!
Han Li looked at Lin Chuan with a newfound sense of apprehension and awe.
At the same time, a strong sense of inquiry and curiosity welled up in my heart—just how many secrets is this Senior Brother Lin hiding?
