Free Web NovelChapter 598: Chapter 598: Warding Off the Enigma (Continued 5)
Creaaak～
The giant spider crouched on the ground, after gazing at Zhang Yuan for a moment, suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out an incredibly sharp shriek.
Even from a dozen steps away, Zhang Yuan felt as if he was being bombarded by countless spear shots.
Zhang Yuan was already familiar with this giant monster’s shriek.
But facing it up close was completely different from hearing it from afar. Invisible sound waves formed bundles and struck his protective armor with lightning speed, instantly sparking dazzling Qi-force flames!
Even more terrifying, trace amounts of needle-like shrieks silently penetrated the armor’s defense, drilling into his head, giving him the illusion his Sea of Qi was riddled with holes!
His Divine Soul Consciousness suffered slight damage.
It was because Zhang Yuan’s Divine Sense was sufficiently strong and resilient that the damage wasn’t worse. For other martial artists of the same level, the damage would be much more severe, with bleeding from the orifices being light in comparison.
The spider’s shriek attack lasted a full ten breaths before stopping.
The frontal resistance forced Zhang Yuan to retreat ten steps, all the way to the edge of the mountain path.
He left a trail of deep footprints on the ground.
Impressive!
Steading himself, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, a divine light shining in his dark eyes.
The next moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a faint golden sword aura.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan once again summoned the Godslaying Saber nurtured in his Qi Sea Dantian, launching a deadly counterattack at the powerful deceitful monster.
Squeak!
The giant spider reacted quickly, at the moment the Godslaying Saber was about to hit its head, it suddenly sprayed a large mass of silver thread-like mucus from its throat.
It struck the Godslaying Saber squarely.
The divine weapon pierced through the mucus instantly, but its speed was slightly slowed.
As a result, it swept past one of the spider’s legs.
Crack!
Half a spider leg filled with barbs was severed cleanly, its surface coated with intense Gang fire.
Squeeeak～
The giant spider let out a painful wail, its swollen abdomen twitching suddenly, spewing out thousands of shiny web threads.
These webs instantly solidified in mid-air, becoming extremely tough, weaving into an all-encompassing large net.
Covering Zhang Yuan!
How could Zhang Yuan let the web capture him? He immediately swung his Overlord Halberd, unleashing an indestructible Qi blade Gang fire, severing and tearing apart all the incoming threads.
He secretly sighed in his heart.
Earlier, to quickly defeat the giant zombie, Zhang Yuan used the Godslaying Saber once.
The divine weapon did not disappoint him.
But using it a second time in such a short period severely diminished its power, only injuring one of the monster’s legs.
But there was no other way.
However, the giant spider’s frenzied attack had only just begun. After spraying a large amount of webs, its abdomen began to spew out countless fist-sized blood spiders like a dense volley.
Each blood spider was as large as a fist, pouncing towards Zhang Yuan, only to be shredded by the long halberd blade light, erupting into plumes of blood mist that rained down.
Some of the tiny blood residues splattered on Zhang Yuan, surprisingly causing a corrosive effect on his protective armor, sizzling with grey toxic smoke.
Zhang Yuan immediately realized that things could not go on like this. He immediately used his body technique to dodge yet another wave of attacking blood spiders, thrusting his Overlord Halberd at the giant spider.
But this deceitful monster, though missing a leg, was still incredibly agile.
Facing the thrusting Profound Soldier, it leapt backward, its speed simply petrifying.
Leaving Zhang Yuan only managed to pierce its afterimage!
The next moment, a barbed spider leg came sweeping at Zhang Yuan with roaring force, like a catapult.
Zhang Yuan abruptly halted, holding the halberd with both hands and thrusting forward to barely block the deceitful monster’s sudden attack.
Bang!
Accompanied by a thunderous boom, he couldn’t help but be pushed back three steps.
The numbing sensation spread slightly through his tiger’s mouths clutching the Overlord Halberd.
This boss, not only incredibly fast, but its strength was also extremely formidable. If Zhang Yuan hadn’t instantly erupted with Gang Force, he simply couldn’t have withstood such a blow.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Immediately after, one spider leg after another swept, stabbed, and hammered towards him continuously.
Only then did Zhang Yuan realize the monster’s leg joints could rotate one hundred and eighty degrees, as flexible as human arms, with alternating attacks resembling a storm, almost about to drown him completely!
Not daring to underestimate its force, Zhang Yuan repeatedly wielded his Overlord Halberd to block a few strikes, using the impact force to leap backward.
Once the distance was reopened, he immediately switched weapons, taking the Taowu Saber in hand.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan activated the Black Giant Ant, Golden Grasshopper, and Jade Mantis.
Thirty times strength, thirty times agility, and Intermediate Sword Technique Profound Communication ability simultaneously augmented him.
Kachak!
Under the astounding extraordinary abilities of the Divine Nest Host, his body suddenly expanded, infinite strength surging forth from his muscles and bones.
The Taowu Saber in his grasp radiated a brilliant light!
Although after obtaining the Overlord Halberd, Zhang Yuan enjoyed using this high-tier Profound Soldier to sweep through formidable foes.
In truth, the Overlord Halberd was a mounted combat weapon, better suited for group and large-scale battles.
Yet Zhang Yuan’s saber technique always surpassed his halberd technique, and with the Jade Mantis’ ability augmentation, the power unleashed by this Profound Soldier was unmatched by the Overlord Halberd.
When yet another black-hard spider leg swept at him, he did not continue to evade.
Instead, he swung the saber decisively to meet the attack head-on.
Clang!
The saber blade clashed against the leg’s shell, erupting in sparks of metal friction.
This leg, thicker and much harder than an adult’s thigh, was severed by the Taowu Saber instantly, spurting a large amount of foul-smelling dark green ichor!
Squeeak～
The giant spider never thought Zhang Yuan would shamelessly switch weapons, suffering a great loss.
And because its attack speed was so fast, just as it felt the pain, the second spider leg had already thrust straight at Zhang Yuan’s chest.
But Zhang Yuan sidestepped the attack and once more slashed it off directly with the saber.
Not stopping there, after the slash, Zhang Yuan ghostly darted forward, keeping close to the severed leg, the Taowu Saber rising high once more.
"Kill!"
When confronting in a narrow path, the hero wins. For this strike, Zhang Yuan risked getting close to the deceitful monster, giving it his all.
The full ten layers of Primordial True Gang, stacking thirty times frightful strength, also unleashing the Taowu Saber’s indestructible might.
The outbreak of light instantly illuminated the surrounding space.
At this moment, the saber momentum reached an unprecedented peak level!
