Chapter 691: Giving the Slip
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Five-Colored Spider ignored Mo Wen completely. If it was another Beast King, maybe it would still be cautious. But a human-like Mo Wen could not pose a threat to it at all.
“As expected, the heavens smile upon me by sending you to me. Just by eating you, I can become a demon, and the ruler of the Beast King Island.”
The Five-Colored Spider looked charmingly at Mo Wen. In reality, when Mo Wen had just entered the valley, it had already noticed him. Otherwise, it would not have secretly set up so many spider webs to prevent him from escaping.
If it was outside, with its current cultivation, maybe it would not be able to snatch this human from the other Beast Kings. But the human had come into this valley. This valley was its territory. Here, it was the only Beast King. Although it had a few neighboring Beast Kings, they would need a little time to make their way over.
It could eat Mo Wen completely before the other Beast Kings arrived.
Mo Wen touched his chin and looked smilingly at the Five Colored Spider smiling without saying a word. He smiled till the Five Colored Spider felt a shiver down its spine.
It turned out that on the Beast King Island, Mo Wen was seen as a pushover. All monstrous beasts would ignore his power.
“How long will it take for your surrounding neighbors to get here?” Mo Wen asked.
The Five-Colored Spider was slightly stunned. It did not understand why this human ancient martial art practitioner had suddenly asked such a question. It said, “If they wanted to come quickly, the closest one would still need fifteen minutes. Why? Do you want the other Beast Kings to rush over and disturb me from killing you?” The Five-Colored Spider laughed coldly. “But I should tell you, you will not live until they manage to rush over.”
“Fifteen minutes? That’s enough!” Mo Wen nodded his head.
“Enough for what?”
“Enough to kill you.”
Mo Wen smiled. The next moment, a blinding golden light suddenly shone from his body. Golden flames enveloped his entire body as though he was a Flaming Ares, the God of War. The terrifying scorching heat swept out. The entire valley was instantly like a furnace. The temperature skyrocketed and the stones on the ground began to melt, making it seem as though magma was flowing on the ground.
“Such frightening flame power. How is it possible?”
The Five-Colored Spider let out a sharp cry. It looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. How could a human ancient martial art practitioner who was not even a Martial Arts Grandmaster possibly have such frightening flame power? Such astonishing Flame Qi was very rare, even among fire attribute Beast Kings.
Not many powers could subdue a spider type monstrous beast, but flame power was one of them that could. All spider type monstrous beasts instinctively feared fire.
Mo Wen pointed forwards and a burst of flame flew out. The golden flames flew towards the spider webs. Those that the flames landed on were all immediately set ablaze.
This sort of spider web was not afraid of normal flames at all. Even Bu Xingyi’s Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame would not necessarily be able to destroy these spider webs in one hit.
But Mo Wen had practiced the Nine Yang Divine Technique to the eighth level. The power of the Fire of Nine Yang he had cultivated was remarkable. The spider webs showed no resistance at all, immediately turning to ash in the flames.
The Sacred Fire Sword appeared in Mo Wen’s hands. He slashed out and flames surged. The spider webs in front of him were all burned to cinders. His silhouette flashed and he appeared in front of the Five Colored Spider.
Lightning suddenly leaped on Mo Wen’s body and a destructive aura was swept up. His aura suddenly rose twofold. It was not an aura that a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner should have.
Against such a sudden, astonishing change, the Five Colored Spider was scared. Its figure shrank back as it felt the incoming danger before its eyes.
It suddenly let out a sharp screech. Strands of Five Colored Spider Silk thick as fingers flew out from its body. The spider silk entangled together, forming a spider web that enveloped Mo Wen.
Humph! Mo Wen coldly snorted. His left hand flashed with crimson light. The Blood Clotting Claw appeared and became a crimson flame dragon claw, brutally slashing forward.
The might of the profound level weapon was immediately displayed. Five crimson blades flashed, severing the Five Colored Spider Silk. Masses of crimson flame adhered to them, frenziedly burning.
The Five-Colored Spider was shocked. It had not expected that this human ancient martial art practitioner still had such frightening treasures on him. Even divine weapons would have a hard time severing its Five Colored Spider Silk, yet it could not block a simple swipe of this bizarre claw.
At this moment, the Five Colored Spider had truly been scared stiff. It did not dare to underestimate Mo Wen anymore. With a sharp shriek, masses of five colored poison gas shot out from its body. The five colored poison gas permeated and immediately filled the surrounding space, instantly enveloping everything nearby.
Everywhere the Five Colored Poison Mist passed was affected. The surface of the rocks was corroded. The original pile of shattered stones instantly sank. A large crater was formed as the earth was eaten away. Five colored smoke rose.
The Five-Colored Poison Mist became a large hand, furiously grabbing at Mo Wen.
Beams of starlight surged on Mo Wen’s body. The next moment, he twisted his figure and directly disappeared from his spot. When he appeared again, he had actually appeared in the Five Colored Poison.
His body lit up with unparalleled brilliant golden light.
The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani! In an instant, Mo Wen had become a golden man. Once the Five Colored Poison approached him, it was immediately turned to ash in the golden flames. It could not approach him at all.
The Sacred Fire Sword shot out a blast of blinding golden flames. Mixed with the power of lightning flame, Mo Wen furiously swung downwards.
Ah!
A sharp scream came from the Five Colored Poison Mist. The surrounding poison mist changed abruptly, more than half of it instantly dissipating.
The figure of the Five Colored Spider appeared from the poison mist. A wound that was a few meters long had appeared on its body. Large amounts of green blood and smoke flowed out from its figure.
The blood of the Five Colored Spider clearly also contained deadly poison. As it flowed out, it corroded holes in the ground.
“I absolutely will not let you go.”
The Five-Colored Spider gave a shrill scream. It became a beam of five colored light, turning to flee. It had not expected that a human ancient martial art practitioner with fairly low cultivation was actually this powerful. Also, all of the human’s abilities could counter its own.
If it did not run, it was highly possible that this human ancient martial art practitioner could kill it.
“Now you know to run.” The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled up coldly. A gentle breeze dashed forwards and he caught up with the Five Colored Spider. Once again he swung the sword, the flaming Qi of sword breaking through the Five Colored Spider’s poison and once again cleaving a wound on its body.
“I’ll kill you.”
Five Colored Spider let out a shriek and looked fearfully at Mo Wen. What was this human ancient martial art practitioner? How was he so freakish? His speed was also astonishing. Although the Five Colored Spider’s cultivation was not high, its advantage was its nimble body movements. Other Beast Kings would not usually be able to match its speed. Maybe it was not a match for some Beast Kings in other ways, but it had no problem running away.
But this human ancient martial art practitioner was practically inhuman. His speed was even faster than its own. Its eight legs could not outrun his two. The Five-Colored Spider felt that this was somewhat unreasonable.
Roar!
The Five-Colored Spider’s face contorted. It let out a seemingly painful roar of agony. The next moment, a strange scene occurred. The Five-Colored Spider’s eight legs all snapped. The snapped spider legs all exploded, become Five Colored Poison Mist.
The Five-Colored Poison fused together, combining with the poison in the valley, and became a huge Five Colored Spider.
This Five Colored Spider was ten times the size of the true Five Colored Spider. It almost took up half of the valley.
Swoosh!
The huge Five Colored Spider became a gust of five colored wind, directly crashing towards Mo Wen. Everywhere it passed, any obstacle in its way was destroyed.
“Die.”
The face of the Five Colored Spider that lost all eight of its legs was hideous. After paying such a high price, it did not believe that it would fail to kill this human ancient martial art practitioner.
Mo Wen’s face froze slightly. He could feel the terrifying might of the huge creature. It definitely had the ability to kill him, even having the ability to pose a threat to the life of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
With a flick of his sleeve, a painting scroll appeared before him.
The next moment, the landscape painting scroll became transparent mountains. The mountains enveloped Mo Wen inside them, protecting him at the heart of the mountains.
Rumble!
The huge Five Colored Spider and the equally huge mountains crashed into each other. Huge rumbles sounded as the entire valley collapsed. Cracks like a spider’s web were visible everywhere. Large scale landslides occurred on both sides of the mountains.
The formless mountains shook. It seemed that they would break at any moment.
Mo Wen’s face went pale. As expected, when a Beast King went all-out, it was rather terrifying. He immediately took out a medium grade Recovery Light from his sleeve. A blue light flashed and his Inner Qi instantly recovered completely. With enough Inner Qi to sustain it, the illusionary mountains immediately stabilized.
The huge Five Colored Spider crashed into the illusionary mountains three times, one after another. The impact became heavier each time. It impacted Mo Wen until he coughed up blood. Although it could not directly attack him, the terrifying impact through the illusionary mountains still shook him up until his injuries were not light.
The illusionary mountains gradually disappeared. Mo Wen flew out, his face pale. If he had not been able to use the painting scroll profound level weapon, against such an attack, he might have truly paid a rather high price.
“How is it possible?”
The Five-Colored Spider looked as though it had seen a ghost. It looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. It had used a self-destructive method and paid a frightening price to unleash its most powerful attack, but had actually failed to kill this human!
“Little spider, you can only curse your luck for encountering me. Since you also want to eat me, it should be reasonable for me to kill you, right?”
Mo Wen wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. He unleashed a medium grade Healing Light. His injuries immediately were completely healed.
“You freak…”
The Five-Colored Spider let out a sharp cry. The next moment, an astonishing scene occurred. The huge figure of the Five Colored Spider suddenly expanded exponentially, like a balloon. Then, with a loud rumble, it exploded.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere. Green fluid and Five Colored Poison frenziedly swept outwards, spreading throughout the entire valley. Most likely even a Lord monstrous beast would instantly be poisoned to death if it encountered such poisonous gas.
However, Mo Wen practiced the Nine Yang Divine Technique. He could counter all poisons. After practicing to the eighth level, such poisonous gas could not even approach him.
A gentle light flashed from the poison. It instantly fled outside of the valley. Its speed was rather astonishing, actually surpassing Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind.
“Huh?” Mo Wen looked at the beam of light in astonishment.
