Swish!

Yin Ruobing retreated as quickly as she could. With Jiang Yi in front, not many spiders attacked her. Only a few avians shot their metal feathers at her. Yin Ruobing kept trying to avoid getting hit by using her God Shooter Bow. They were barely getting by.

Clang-clang!

Jiang Yi tried to use his Divine Sound Heaven Skill. The giant spider seated atop the little hill in front of them spat out the little spiders at a slower pace. Its body trembled every once in a while, but it stayed still otherwise. It focused on spitting out little spiders instead. However, those little spiders were no longer attacking Jiang Yi. Instead, they all burrowed underground and disappeared.

The more this happened, the more frightened Jiang Yi felt.

This Demon Sovereign was obviously building up toward a stronger attack. If Jiang Yi did not act now, he would surely have his bones broken in the end. Just thinking about millions of spiders bursting out from underground sent a shiver down Jiang Yi’s spine. His gaze hardened, and he released the Icebound Thousand Miles with one of his hands. At the same time, he kept using the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to affect the Demon Sovereign. As he did this, he flew steadily toward the king spider.

Jek-jek!

The demon king let out a terrifying laugh. All twelve of its eyes glared at Jiang Yi mockingly—it looked so much like a human. As it stared at Jiang Yi flying toward him, the spider did not panic. In fact, it did not even flinch.

Ten thousand feet, five thousand feet... three thousand feet!

The closer he got to the king spider, the more cautious Jiang Yi became. He had a feeling deep in his heart that if he really went too close to the spider, he would die for sure. Yet, he did not know where the danger was exactly. He wanted to follow his gut and stop because he did not want to perish here.

“When enemies meet in a narrow path, the braver of the two will win. I’ll go for it!”

Jiang Yi cried out. He had come to the point of no return. If he did not kill this Demon Sovereign, he would not be able to progress any further into the Wild Spirit Village. What’s more, it was too late to turn back now. He could either kill the Demon Sovereign or die.

“Astral Wind Blades, Icebound Thousand Miles, Divine Sound Heaven Skill!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes turned blood red as his red hair danced around his face. He shouted at the top of his lungs and hurled the ten Astral Wind Blades toward the king spider with as much might as he could.

At that moment, the king spider finally moved. It opened its mouth and finally stopped spitting out little spiders. Instead, it started spitting out a web. The web looked like it could cover the entire earth, and it was heading straight for Jiang Yi. It captured everything within a thousand feet radius, including Jiang Yi.

Bang, bang, bang!

Cracks began to appear on the ground, and at least a million spiders flew out from the gaps. These spiders could walk in and out of the king spider’s web easily. They all shot toward Jiang Yi as quickly as they could.

“Die!”

At that moment between life and death, Jiang Yi could not afford to think about anything else. He got rid of all the distractions in his mind and focused solely on killing the king spider. He decided to give it his all, whether he would come out of it alive or not.

He had to win or die trying!

He had released the Icebound Thousand Miles a bit too early. There was no way at all to freeze up the little spiders. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was also useless against these little spiders. While the Astral Wind Blades did manage to cut holes into the king spider’s body, the king spider remained stubbornly alive. It was almost like this spider had neither a heart nor a soul.

Swish-swish!

From between his eyebrows, the Rainbow Soul Spear flew out and turned into a rainbow beam that shot straight toward the Demon Sovereign. The Rainbow Soul Spear was a form of spiritual attack. It broke through the spider’s web easily and traveled toward the demon king speedily. However, there was one problem. Jiang Yi’s divine senses could not detect where the king spider’s soul was!

Bang, bang, bang!

Countless small spiders were now heading toward him and causing themselves to blow up around him. There were many small explosions all around Jiang Yi, and the air around him seemed to twist and turn. The impacts weakened his Astral Winds Divine Shield. Even his body was being thrown from left to right because of the explosions.

“Die, die, die!”

He shouted out in anger, not bothering at all about the little spiders. He focused solely on aiming his Rainbow Soul Spear through the king spider’s twelve eyes. He had to take a gamble—he was betting on the king spider’s soul being located in one of its eyes. Its eyes must be its source of life.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Bang, bang, bang!

The Rainbow Soul Spear shot through one of the king spider’s eyes. The explosions around Jiang Yi became even more intense. His Astral Winds Divine Shield threatened to fall apart.

Tsk! Tsk!

The Rainbow Soul Spear quickly turned and shot through three of the king spider’s eyes at once. After that, the spider’s remaining eyes seemed to darken. Yet, this did not cause too huge of a reaction in the king spider. Instead, the remaining eyes continued to look at Jiang Yi mockingly, making him feel like he had been mistaken. The eyes were not where the spider had stored its soul.

“Whatever.”

Jiang Yi was going crazy. He continued to steer his Rainbow Soul Spear toward the other eyes. Three, four, five... ten.

“I was right!”

After piercing through ten of the king spider’s eyes, Jiang Yi used his Rainbow Soul Spear and discovered that the king spider was trembling vigorously. The remaining two eyes looked at Jiang Yi with fear. Below it, the little spiders were traveling at an even faster speed.

Bang, bang, bang!

Jiang Yi’s Astral Winds Divine Shield finally fell apart. At the same time, the king spider’s twelve eyes exploded. The moment that happened, all the little spiders fell back through the cracks. The king spider’s body turned into a pile of rotten flesh. It fell down onto the ground.

“Pfff...”

The explosions all around his body had caused it to become a blur of flesh and blood. As fast as he could, he repaired his Astral Winds Divine Shield. His divine shield was too weak. It fell apart with just several explosions. If there had been more little spiders around him, he would be dead for sure.

“Hahaha!”

He fell into a pit and laid there motionless. His body was covered in blood. Still, he laughed out like a lunatic, his eyes filled with joy. It was too exciting to gamble this way. The joy that he felt after winning was always indescribable. Perhaps, he was truly a lunatic.

“Jiang Yi!”

Yin Ruobing flew to his side and looked at his body. There was not one inch of his flesh left unharmed. Instead, the explosions had caused every bone in his body to be broken. Yin Ruobing’s heart ached so much that she began to cry. She kept firing her God Shooter Bow and caused every avian within a couple of kilometers of them to die. Then, she carried Jiang Yi and ran toward the Wild Spirit Village.

“Don’t cry. I—Jiang Yi—have nine lives. I won’t die.”

Jiang Yi grinned, but he looked more awful than he did when he cried. He saw a glowing stone gate in front of a village far away and closed his eyes, contented. Just like that, he fell into a deep sleep.

There was still no sign that the Mystic Divine Palace had been won. This meant that Zhan Tianlei, Jian Wuying, and the others still had not succeeded. That meant he still had a chance. Even if he could not obtain the Glazed Pagoda, he could still fight for the Mystic Divine Palace. This was the number one treasure in the world.

“Jiang Yi!”

Yin Ruobing set Jiang Yi down onto the ground and fed him two top-grade pills. Then, she cleaned up his blood-covered face. Fresh blood flowed out from Jiang Yi’s wounds and dyed her Bejeweled Armor red. There were streaks of blood all over her beautiful legs, and yet she did not even utter a word of complaint.

“Eh?”

At that moment, something weird happened. A white light shone at Jiang Yi from mid-air, covering both his and Yin Ruobing’s bodies. Something that shocked Yin Ruobing to her very core happened.

The wounds on Jiang Yi’s body recovered before her very eyes. His bones fixed themselves back together, and his breathing became less labored by the second. Within seconds, his body looked as good as new.

What shocked Yin Ruobing even more was what happened afterward. The white light that covered Jiang Yi and herself ascended up into the sky. Yin Ruobing felt like some sort of power was keeping them trapped so that they could not move even if they wanted to.

“This... this is... Jiang Yi!”

Yin Ruobing was so scared that she did not know how else to react other than to shake Jiang Yi awake. By the time she could process what was happening, both of them were thrown into an opening in the air. Everything around them was pitch-black.

The crack outside the Wild Spirit Village slowly sealed itself up, and peace was restored in the surroundings.
