On the wilderness,
The wind whipped up dust, and chilling energy fluctuations lingered in the air.
Xue Di and Wang Qiu'er also prepared to return to the academy.
"Sister Xue'er, thank you." Wang Qiu'er looked at Xue Di and said sincerely.
"Why say thank you?" Xue Di smiled slightly and took Wang Qiu'er's hand.
The women worked together to fight against Dongfang Jing and had long since addressed each other as sisters.
Therefore, although Wang Qiu'er is a noble imperial beast, she is still the fifth sister among them because of her young age.
"Di Tian should give up now, right? Let's go back to the academy. We haven't dealt with those rats that attacked you earlier."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Wang Qiu'er's eyes: "Let's wait for A-Jing to return and let him decide."
"Yes, that's fine. If they dare to lay a hand on us, they must pay the price!"
Xue Di didn't say anything more, too lazy to pay attention to the humans watching them.
Holding Wang Qiu'er's hand, he vanished in a flash.
Only Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Sect Leader Ning, let's go back and check on Yan Yan and the others," Dugu Bo said. "Today's events have caused quite a stir. However, it doesn't seem to concern us much. We can just continue as before. Speaking of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, hehe..."
Dugu Bo shook his head with a strange expression and didn't say anything more.
But those who know, know.
"Yes, Senior is right." Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, then recalled the blonde woman he had just seen and pondered her identity. "Uncle Jian, let's go. Although the three upper sects should be united, the other two sects have obviously provoked such a powerful being. So… it's none of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's business."
Chen Xin didn't speak, but simply nodded silently and followed behind Ning Fengzhi.
A major battle that shocked the entire city ended abruptly and in a rather anticlimactic manner.
But its impact is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that spread in circles.
At this time
At the center of all this storm, Dongfang Jing was the instigator who abducted another man's wife and daughters.
We know nothing about this yet.
He and Biji had ventured deep into another area of the Star Dou Great Forest to begin their search for their first target.
The Starry Sky Forest under the cover of night appears exceptionally tranquil, yet it is also fraught with hidden dangers.
Dongfang Jing and Biji walked through the dense jungle.
Dongfang Jing activated his Evil-Dispelling Domain, carefully and precisely probing the hidden evil presences in the surroundings.
Guided by Biji and a group of guardian spirit beasts, they arrived at a relatively damp and dark area.
The air here is filled with a faint stench of decay, which makes one want to vomit.
"It should be around here." Brigitte stopped and said softly, "The Man-Faced Spider likes to build its nest in dark and damp environments like this."
Although she was accompanying them, the rules of the Divine Trial prevented her and the guardian spirit beasts from taking action or providing direct assistance.
Therefore, she could only stand a short distance away and watch.
She was always prepared to save her disciple should anything happen to him, even if it meant failing the divine test.
For Brigitte, who was deeply in love and unable to extricate herself, nothing was more important than Dongfang Jing.
Dongfang Jing nodded, indicating that she could rest assured.
Extend your spiritual power further and continue moving forward.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
In his mental perception, there were more than a dozen huge spider webs spread between several large trees not far ahead.
These spiderwebs are an eerie deep black, almost blending into the darkness in the dim environment. They are extremely difficult to spot with the naked eye unless detected by mental power.
Dongfang Jing didn't touch the spider webs. Just from the several rotting soul beast corpses stuck to them and the strong smell of poison, he could tell that the spiders that made them were no good spiders.
"Found it," he thought to himself.
The Exorcising Realm bypassed these spiderwebs and continued its exploration.
Soon, he spotted his target in the middle of a relatively open woodland.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider King, with 50,000 years of cultivation!
This human-faced spider king looked much smaller than Dongfang Jing had expected.
Its body diameter is only about three meters, and its entire carapace has an eerie dark gold color. There are no patterns on it. It lies quietly on the ground, with its eight long spider legs retracted around its body. It blends almost into the surrounding dead leaves and soil, and is inconspicuous.
If it weren't for the fierce and evil aura emanating from it, it would be hard to associate it with the word "emperor".
The positioning of the field of exorcism is two-way.
Just as the Eastern Mirror Domain locates it, the human-faced spider king will also discover it.
Its eight eerie green compound eyes suddenly lit up, staring intently at Dongfang Jing, and it hissed threateningly.
Without any warning, the next second, its figure vanished from its spot in an instant, as fast as lightning, and its eight sharp claws stabbed straight at Dongfang Jing!
Dongfang Jing's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm and composed.
His first spirit ring lit up.
With the enhancement of his soul skill "Sharpening", his body instantly burst forth with astonishing speed, advancing instead of retreating, charging towards the Human-Faced Spider King.
At the same time, golden shards of light condensed on his right arm, transforming into a sharp arm blade.
clang!
A crisp clang of metal clashing!
The arm blade collided with the forelimb, sending sparks flying.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Dongfang Jing slid backward several meters and stood firmly.
The Spider King with the Human Face was sent flying backward by the shock.
The venom of the human-faced spider should not be underestimated. Although Dongfang Jing had a way to detoxify it, he did not want to suffer physical pain.
Moreover, spider-type soul beasts are quite cunning; if they discover that their opponent is stronger than themselves, they are very likely to turn around and run away.
If finding it is so difficult, how can we let it escape?
Therefore, Dongfang Jing decided to resolve the matter quickly.
The Spider King with the Human Face seemed somewhat surprised that its attack failed.
Its eight eyes gleamed even more fiercely, and it opened its mouth full of fangs, suddenly spewing out a large net that covered Dongfang Jing from above.
The spiderweb expanded rapidly in the air, covered with foul-smelling venom, and made a sizzling, corrosive sound.
Dongfang Jing moved with agility, easily dodging the spider web.
The spider web fell to the ground, instantly corroding a large pit and emitting plumes of black smoke, demonstrating its potent toxicity.
Dongfang Jing immediately created six mirror images of himself and commanded them: "Go and entangle it, buy me a few seconds."
The mirror images nodded in agreement, their lives hanging by a thread, as they charged forward with fierce determination.
Upon seeing this, the Spider King moved all eight of its long legs together, its body moving at high speed on the ground, while continuously spewing out venomous webs and venom from its mouth and tail.
After it dealt with the six mirror images, when it looked at the main body of the Eastern Mirror, its compound eyes instantly contracted!
