Chapter 105 - Killing the Devil-Faced Spider King
Chen Fan engaged in a heated battle against the Devil-Faced Spider King, successfully maintaining an upper hand by unleashing his formidable strength.
Qin Yao also demonstrated remarkable prowess.
She had just become a Qi Grandmaster, but the support from the Bone Spirit Flame and her awakened bloodline made her as strong as middle to late-stage Qi Grandmasters.
The Devil-Faced Spiders attacking her were merely tier-one, eight-level beasts.
The spiders' attempts to trap her with their silk met a swift end, as the Bone Spirit Flame made them sizzle and turn into inky black liquid upon contact.
Qin Yao was a female Alchemist, which would make it seem that she was weak, but that was far from the truth.
She killed every Devil-Faced Spider that crossed her path, wielding a grade-two sword treasure, enveloped in her Bone Spirit Flame, with a quasi-profound tier sword technique. It looked like she was in a spider-hunting festival.
Noticing Qin Yao's prowess, Chen Fan felt a sense of relief, so he shifted his focus back to pursuing the Devil-Faced Spider King.
“Wretched beast, did you think you could run away?”
The typical scenario of a Yuanfu realm powerhouse effortlessly killing a Qi Grandmaster seemed irrelevant in Chen Fan's case.
Despite being in the Yuanfu realm, the Devil-Faced Spider King found itself nearly defenseless against Chen Fan.
The spider's legs were cracked, oozing fresh blood. Its silk was either refined or shattered by Chen Fan's punches, rendering it useless against him.
Chen Fan’s primeval qi circulated even quicker, generating heat within him. A whirlwind spun around him, whistling, resonating with his surroundings—it looked like an astronomical phenomenon.
Immersed in unleashing his powers, he felt like the strength coursing through him was inexhaustible.
His primeval qi flowed freely and grew fiercer over time; he fought like fatigue didn’t exist for him. He resembled an invincible god of war.
Chen Fan struck the Devil-Faced Spider King multiple times, leaving deep palm imprints on it. Fresh blood flowed non-stop from those wounds, instilling fear in the creature.
Its face still looked sinister, but its overall appearance made it seem pitiful.
A grand tier-two demon beast like the Devil-Faced Spider King, a powerhouse with Yuanfu realm cultivation, was reduced to such a state by a Qi Grandmaster, bringing shame to all demon beasts.
The Devil-Faced Spider King possessed intelligence akin to adult humans.
After a few rounds, it realized the exceptional nature of the human before it—a genius among martial artists.
A memory resurfaced in the demon beast's mind.
Seven or eight years ago, another human Qi Grandmaster had killed its mother. It was merely a tier-one, seventh-level demon beast then.
“Human, I won’t let this go!”
The Devil-Faced Spider King, unwilling to follow its mother's fate, turned to flee, disregarding its descendants.
“Thinking of running?”
Chen Fan laughed coldly.
Wings materialized on his back, and when he moved them to pursue the spider, they created a mighty gale.
“What? Human, how did you...”
The Devil-Faced Spider King immediately sensed the dangerous aura behind it. It looked back and saw a pair of wings unfolding on Chen Fan’s back. Using those wings, Chen Fan floated in the air just like the Yuanfu realm spider.
“Wretched beast, you won’t get away!” Chen Fan was so fast that he caught up to the spider with just a few flaps of his wings, despite only being a Qi Grandmaster.
Being the lord of the skies, rain dragons’ speed was unparalleled.
Mastering the Wings of the Rain Dragon made his flying speed comparable to second-level Yuanfu realm powerhouses.
“Get down!”
With a swish, Chen Fan soared above the Devil-Faced Spider King and descended, delivering a powerful stomp to its back.
A resounding crack echoed as the creature's steel-like carapace shattered.
“Ah!”
The Devil-Faced Spider King cried out miserably, plummeting to the ground and demolishing many trees in the process.
Rumble!
Its massive form turned the weaker demon beasts below that failed to escape into a meat paste.
Despite being dizzy from the impact, the Devil-Faced Spider King realized this was the critical moment for its survival. It hastily shot threads of spider silk, trying to hinder Chen Fan.
The black spider silk moved through the air like a bed of snakes. Carelessness could result in Chen Fan's flesh being cut open.
A layer of primeval qi protected Chen Fan, and his physical powers erupted as he crashed down like a meteor. The black spider silk tore through his protective primeval qi but failed to harm his flesh.
The resilient, elastic black net trapped him, and he swiftly sank toward the ground.
“Break!” Chen Fan commanded, and his primeval qi surged. Pushed to its limits, the spider web tore open, arcing through the air.
“Die, you wretched beast!”
Chen Fan, untouched save for a few white marks on his skin, thrust his palms repeatedly, like the thousand-hand Buddha, radiating an air of invincibility.
The Devil-Faced Spider King sensed its imminent demise. Chen Fan's attack, an outpouring of pent-up emotions, was akin to the opening of floodgates. He felt an extreme sense of relief, and his strength peaked.
Chen Fan clashed with the Devil-Faced Spider King in the blink of an eye.
A storm of wind appeared where their qi collided.
In this storm, it was as if a wind spirit was howling furiously. A tornado that soared hundreds of feet into the sky materialized, creating a surreal scene.
Chen Fan walked out of this storm with long strides, with no injury on him.
The Devil-Faced Spider King also emerged from the storm, drenched in blood and missing more than half of its legs.
“Human, you...”
The Devil-Faced Spider King’s voice was filled with infinite terror. It couldn’t believe it was about to die at the hands of a Qi Grandmaster, just like its mother.
The distinction lay in the fact that the martial artist before it relied on absolute strength, while its mother’s killer used the powers of some treasure.
“What do you mean, you!? Just die!”
Chen Fan approached and unleashed a punch, making the Devil-Faced Spider King's head explode. A demon core soared out, which he caught.
Upon reaching tier two, demon beasts formed a demon core akin to the primeval vessel of human martial artists. It contained the essence of their cultivation, accumulated throughout their lives.
Holding the demon core, Chen Fan felt the rich and pure essence of primeval force within. A smile crept across his face.
Perhaps this demon core could help him complete the Heaven Seizing Furnace.
