Chapter 81: Four-winged Spider King
How could Li Weiyi possibly throw it away? He said, “Precious Medicine will emit medicinal fragrance. Then how should the fragrance on your body be handled? You should have considered this point before the trial.”
Yao Yin was at a loss for how to respond when she saw Li Weiyi take out a huge piece of black cloth and wrap the crimson Rou Cong Rong in it. Immediately, all the light and smell were covered.
It was the Ghost Flag.
Li Weiyi himself also crawled in, preparing to rely on the Ghost Flag to pass this trial directly by hiding.
After thinking about it, he stuck out his head and looked at the little girl sitting dumbfounded at the bow of the ship, asking, “Do you want to hide in here?”
Yao Yin let out a hesitant sound and turned her face away.
“Alright then, try your best to restrain your aura and don’t attract the Flying Winged White Spiders!” Li Weiyi crawled back into the Ghost Flag, secretly calculating in his heart.
Earlier, he had deliberately fallen from mid-air, selling a flaw to test if Yao Yin would take the opportunity to strike and kill him. If she made a move, Li Weiyi would unhesitatingly eliminate her first.
The same was true at this moment.
Li Weiyi appeared to be wrapped in the Ghost Flag with no defenses, but in reality, he had been waiting for Yao Yin to strike.
“Only fifteen years old, and it shows she has been well protected since childhood. No matter how coldly she pretends, she is still soft-hearted. With such a mindset, even if she has a Pure Immortal Body, she may not survive to the end.”
“Forget it, I won’t make a move. Leave it to those who have opened Eight Springs or Nine Springs. They should see the Pure Immortal Body as the number one great enemy.”
Li Weiyi bit off a mouthful of Rou Cong Rong and ate it.
A Precious Medicine of five hundred years was indeed different; it melted in the mouth like swallowing nectar, filling the mouth with rosy glow. The medicinal warmth spread from the lips and tongue to the abdomen and then dispersed.
Li Weiyi’s whole body felt warm and cozy, like soaking in a hot spring.
After a month of hard cultivation, the barrier of the Eighth Spring had been worn very thin, ready to break through at any time.
For martial cultivators opening Eight Springs, besides tempering the Veins, the hardest part was actually opening the Feng Fu.
Feng Fu was an inner world similar to the Forehead Spirit Realm, or a small Sea of Qi.
Li Weiyi possessed the Buddha’s Sarira, a Space Treasure, which could assist in opening the inner world within his body, so the final difficulty was essentially no difficulty.
Once Eight Springs was opened, he could first deal with Li Qing, then try the difficulty of the Mind Power Mural.
Anyway, with Jar Master’s letter, it was like carrying an Imperial Sword. Li Weiyi felt he could be a bit bolder. After all, he was the successor of the Jiu Li clan leader from a thousand years ago; being stunningly talented was reasonable.
Yao Yin sat alone at the bow, her gemstone-like immortal eyes gazing at both sides of the river channel, fully alert, of course also guarding against Li Weiyi.
Gradually.
Dense spider silk appeared on the river channel, some forming nets that blocked the ship, making it unable to proceed.
Yao Yin glanced at that guy in the black cloth but ultimately decided not to rely on him. She took out a Magic Tool Dagger hidden in her sleeve and carefully cut open the spider webs bit by bit.
This spider silk had great resilience, surpassing that of the Ao Spider’s silk. It could be used to weave martial robes or refine low-tier Magic Tool Ropes.
But here, it was very dangerous.
Once entangled, escape was impossible.
The flatboat’s progress became extremely slow.
She saw that the spider silk actually entwined many humanoid skeletons, hanging upside down over the water surface. No need to guess; they must have been previous Seven Springs trial participants.
And on the riverbank just a few meters away, there were clusters of fist-sized white spheres, all with membrane wings—clearly Flying Winged White Spiders in slumber.
The scenes before her made Yao Yin extremely tense; she didn’t dare imagine the terror if all of them were awakened.
On the other side, Li Weiyi lay on the ship practicing the Jade Void Breathing Technique, fully immersed in cultivation.
About half a day later.
The ship came to a complete stop and no longer moved forward.
The abnormal changes outside awakened Li Weiyi from cultivation. He was curious why Yao Yin had stopped the ship.
Suddenly.
From outside the Ghost Flag came a faint, suppressed whimper, gradually becoming pained, with rapid breathing, and the sound growing louder.
“What are you doing?”
Li Weiyi crawled out from the Ghost Flag and stared at Yao Yin, who was curled up at the bow, trembling nonstop.
The light was too dim to see what trick she was up to.
Li Weiyi observed the surroundings and found dense spider webs overhead, slumbering white spider fierce insects, and several withered bones hanging upside down. He drew in a cold breath: “Don’t make too much noise, or if you wake them, both of us will be hung up today, our flesh and blood eaten clean.”
There was no response after a long while.
Sensing Yao Yin’s condition was very off, Li Weiyi carefully crawled out of the Ghost Flag.
She was curled up like a kitten by the roadside in winter, enduring some unknown pain, her whimpers uncontrollable.
“How can it be so cold?”
As soon as Li Weiyi approached her, he felt piercing cold air. He lightly probed her forehead and cheek with his fingers, then her arm—her entire skin was like ice blocks.
Even more terrifying, there were dense ice cracks on her skin.
Li Weiyi didn’t know what had happened to her, but her voice was getting louder, and the surrounding Flying Winged White Spiders were starting to move slightly.
Logically, he could finish her off with one sword now and be done with it forever.
But since she hadn’t taken advantage of his vulnerability earlier, Li Weiyi naturally couldn’t do it either.
“Forget it, treat her like that Baseball Bat! Breaking it with his own hands was still unbearable.”
Li Weiyi picked up Yao Yin and stuffed her whole into the Ghost Flag, letting her hug the scalding hot Rou Cong Rong tightly. He also fed a mouthful into her mouth. Whether she could endure it depended on her own fate.
He wrapped the Ghost Flag tightly, and the muffled whimper from inside immediately became extremely faint.
Drawing the Yellow Dragon Sword, Li Weiyi sat at the bow, about to cut the spider silk blocking the river channel.
A strange cry came from behind.
Without thinking, he turned and swung a sword backwards, severing the flying white spider silk.
“Gugu!”
A fist-sized Flying Winged White Spider rapidly crawled away and disappeared on a strand of silk several zhang away.
But its cry from its mouth awakened all the slumbering white spheres on both banks of the river channel. They lifted their heads one by one, revealing dark red eyes—dense like a red starry sea.
“Damn it.”
Li Weiyi stopped being cautious and just wanted to escape immediately. He urged the Yellow Dragon Sword with Magic Energy and fiercely swung forward to clear the path.
All spider silk touched by the yellow Sword Light instantly melted.
“Shua! Shua! Shua…”
Countless spider silks shot toward him from all directions.
“Ruyi Qiankun Sword.”
Li Weiyi executed the second Sword Technique from the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hands, erupting with the realm of Heavenly Law Integration.
With the sword move unleashed, one sword became a hundred swords.
Sword Shadows were like a rain curtain, impenetrable.
All spider silk was severed.
But more spider silk assaulted, and some white spiders directly flapped their wings to fly onto the ship.
In an instant, the entire Spider Cave was filled with dense cries; white spiders filled the sky, their membrane wings sharp like blades.
Li Weiyi only held for one breath before releasing the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors from the Insect Tube on his back to fight the incoming white spider swarm.
Catching his breath, he hurriedly severed all the spider silk stuck to his body, went to the bow, swung his sword to clear the path while quickly paddling with the oar.
He was only at Seven Springs cultivation and couldn’t release Magic Energy to propel the wooden boat like Yin Twenty-Four.
That was a Five Seas Realm technique.
Fortunately, the boat was going downstream, extremely fast.
“Aren’t you Emperor level? Facing these Soldier-level Fierce Insects, can’t you just release a wisp of aura to intimidate them?” Li Weiyi was not very satisfied with the performance of the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.
Immediately, three Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors went on strike.
Li Weiyi quickly said, “I have a hundred jin of five-hundred-year Rou Cong Rong. Whoever kills more Fierce Insects gets more. I’m counting for you…”
The three striking Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors immediately flew up again, erupting with colorful glows, their battle state reaching Peak, charging back and forth in the white spider swarm.
Insect corpses fell like rain.
“Gugu!”
An extremely muffled and loud cry echoed from deep in the cave on the right.
Li Weiyi immediately became alert and discovered that deep in the cave grew a purple-glowing Rou Cong Rong, dozens of zhang away from the river channel.
This meant its age had reached eight or nine hundred years, not far from a Thousand Year Elixir.
“Grown for eight or nine hundred years in this trial ground, yet not harvested?”
While Li Weiyi was puzzled, a face-sized white spider crawled out from the purple Precious Medicine glow, with four blood wings on its back.
That muffled loud cry came from its mouth.
“Hua da!”
The basin-sized white spider moved all eight legs, speeding like a flash of light toward the flatboat in the river.
“This Spider King is absolutely not Soldier Level!”
Li Weiyi unhesitatingly summoned the Black Iron Seal and struck heavily with the sword hilt.
“Boom!”
Thunder roared through the entire cave, lightning erupting like a light serpent.
The Four-Winged Spider King charging with wings did not dodge, spitting a Blood Light from its mouth that collided with the lightning serpent and actually blocked it.
The four wings stirred violent Wind Force, getting closer and closer.
Li Weiyi’s face changed drastically. When had he ever faced such a terrifying fierce creature?
He took out the Evil Camel Bell and urged Magic Energy.
Ignoring whether he would be affected by Evil Thoughts, he just shook it madly.
“Hua!”
A half-virtual, half-real giant Camel manifested on the ship and crashed into the Four-Winged Spider King approaching. This strike finally sent the Spider King flying backwards.
But in the next instant, the Four-Winged Spider King came charging back, its cry even more ferocious.
“Don’t kill! Hurry and push the ship to escape this place.”
Li Weiyi ordered the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors with Mind Power. Though their bodies were small, their power was great, and their speed extremely fast.
Perhaps influenced by the Evil Camel Bell, five went berserk killing, while only two obeyed and went to push the ship.
“Dang dang!”
Shaking the Evil Camel Bell again, the giant Camel repelled the Four-Winged Spider King a second time.
With massive Magic Energy Consumption in his body, Li Weiyi knew he couldn’t hold out long. Of course, he still had a trump card: the Buddha’s Sarira on the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish.
But the Four-Winged Spider King’s speed was too fast, and he could only collect it into the Blood Mud Space within three zhang.
The window was too brief; a bit slow, and his body would be torn apart. A bit fast, and he couldn’t collect it.
Meanwhile, his three Masters were still in the Blood Mud Space; collecting a Spider King inside would be dangerous for them too.
“Don’t force me to Combine Springs Break the Wall.”
Li Weiyi really didn’t want to impact the Eighth Spring in such a dangerous way.
Though the flatboat was speeding along, the Four-Winged Spider King pursued relentlessly. After repelling it a third time, Li Weiyi’s body had a big problem—not only did bell sounds appear in his mind, but the Six Desires Talisman on his chest also flickered, his whole body rapidly becoming scalding hot.
It was like adding frost to snow; the Six Desires Talisman activated at this critical moment.
“Gugu!”
The Four-Winged Spider King led a large swarm of white spiders in high-speed flight, pursuing.
No time at all to find a Pill.
Blood threads filled Li Weiyi’s eyes. In the predicament of the Evil Camel Bell, Six Desires Talisman, and the life-or-death crisis before him, his emotions ignited. He roared, “Kill!”
Evil Thoughts turned to battle intent, lustful fire ignited hot blood, overwhelming all reason.
Riding the half-virtual, half-real Camel, wielding the Yellow Dragon Sword, he actually charged out of the flatboat, stepping on the Blood River, launching a counter-charge at the rear spider swarm.
The seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were stunned, then turned into seven colorful Light Marks chasing after.
On the Blood River, chaotic battle erupted, killing until the sky darkened.
“Bang! Bang…”
Li Weiyi swung his sword with both hands, clashing intensely with the Four-Winged Spider King. Wounds multiplied on his body, cut by the sharp spider wings. But he grew more spirited in battle, his reason and consciousness gradually clarifying.
“Why am I fighting the Spider King? Luckily the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors are helping, or I definitely couldn’t persist this long. So-called Guardian Wife is indeed unreliable; she doesn’t show up even in such danger.”
“The back of my head hurts so much; it’s the Feng Fu…”
Li Weiyi discovered intense pain at the Feng Fu acupoint on the back of his head, like a needle pricking. Instead of fear, he was joyful.
This was the omen of opening a Spring!
He quickly steadied his spirit and consciousness, executed the Breathing Technique. Gradually, strands of Magic Power overflowed from the Feng Fu acupoint.
Without hesitation, he urged the Buddha’s Sarira with Spiritual Light, drawing gentle Spatial Power to act on the Feng Fu acupoint.
“Boom!”
Moments later, as Li Weiyi slashed a sword at the Four-Winged Spider King, the inner space below the Feng Fu acupoint opened. Violent Magic Power surged out, making this sword erupt with unprecedented power.
