Free Web NovelChapter 1892: Chapter 1891: Picking the Softest Target
The Queen Demon Spider wielded the Flame Whip with an air of dominance, and the whip in her hand was no ordinary one but was woven from special spider silk. Not only did it possess remarkable toughness, but it was also lined with sharp barbs.
A strike against the body would surely cause immense pain, if not death.
Li Feng reached out to grab the incoming Flame Whip, immediately sensing the unique nature of it. The barbs on the whip pierced straight into his flesh, continuously injecting fire poison.
However, this fire poison had no effect on Li Feng as it was immediately dissolved by the Burning Technique, and a forceful tug was felt from the whip in his grasp.
Li Feng raised his eyes to the "irrepressibly hospitable" Queen Demon Spider and flew toward her along with her pull.
Li Feng’s gaze fell on the cold face of the Queen Demon Spider, and for a moment, he was reminded of the domineering CEO Wang Jin’er, causing him to enter a brief trance.
The next second.
The sharp claws of the Queen Demon Spider’s lower body were already jabbing towards Li Feng’s body like javelins. In an instant, the claws struck against Li Feng’s Domineering True Gang without fully penetrating, snapping him back to reality.
Li Feng came to his senses and looked at the Queen Demon Spider once more, seeing nothing of Wang Jin’er’s likeness. Despite her notable face, the hideous and grotesque lower body extinguished any allure.
At this moment, the Queen Demon Spider also looked baffled, puzzled as to why her claws hadn’t pierced through the prey before her, but this was her last thought.
Realizing the deception, Li Feng fiercely wielded the King Sword, executing the Gale Fury move.
Instantly, the sword qi swept through like a raging storm, directly tearing the Queen Demon Spider before him into a mist of blood.
Mercy, what mercy?
Li Feng dispatched the Queen Demon Spider with a single strike, alerting the surrounding Earth Cave Demon Spiders who unanimously turned to launch an attack on him, as if Li Feng had slain their mate.
The Third Gate move, Heavenly Battle Spear.
Without a second thought, Li Feng swung the King Sword again, using the sword as a blade, sweeping the sword qi like cavalry trampling over armies. Instantly, countless demon spiders before him were sliced into pieces by the sword qi.
The strengths of these demon spiders weren’t formidable; this succession battle had only just commenced. Though devouring each other could rapidly garner energy, evolution wasn’t achieved in mere moments.
After carving a bloody path, Li Feng quickly navigated through the horde; he wasn’t here to fight but to seek clues.
Li Feng swiftly traversed the upper space of the demon spiders, witnessing the vastness of the Demon Spider Cave, resembling a folded space where the eye perceived it as closer due to magnification.
Yet, upon entering, one found the space ostensibly tenfold, or even several dozen times larger.
The deeper one ventured, the truer this became.
While earlier the swarm of demon spiders was dense, they gradually thinned, but with escalating strength. Some emitted menacing auras palpable even to Li Feng.
Fortunately, despite being an uninvited guest, these demon spiders didn’t launch an immediate attack on Li Feng, although he sensed countless eyes watching.
Thankfully, Li Feng refrained from attacking, instead moving quickly to the cave’s bottom shortly thereafter.
Li Feng saw what wasn’t visible from above—a gigantic demon spider lay on the ground, evidently beheaded, likely slain by the Demon Clan.
Around this Giant Demon Spider were various demon spiders emitting terrifying murderous intent. These contenders were evidently the strongest competitors at the forefront of the demon spider struggle.
These demon spiders noticed Li Feng but didn’t act rashly.
Li Feng also spotted his speculated shortcut not far behind the fallen giant—a circular abyss-like hole leading downwards to unknown depths.
Above this ground pit was a massive spider web, unmistakably marking the Spider Palace.
The Spider Queen was unequivocally the boss to surpass through this shortcut.
The Demon Clan’s elimination of the Spider Queen had triggered turmoil among the demon spiders. Judging by the current situation, they aimed to traverse, facing obstacles potentially no less severe than the Demon Clan had encountered before.
Especially the demon spiders encircling the Spider Queen’s remains, emitting robust murderous aura. These demon spiders were fighting over the Spider Queen’s corpse, but Li Feng and his allies would inevitably clash with them trying to pass through.
These demon spiders likely wouldn’t easily allow Li Feng and the others passage, especially since Li Feng didn’t understand the Third Gate foreign language, making negotiations for a pathway unrealistic.
Thoughts flashed through Li Feng’s mind.
He spun around, casting his gaze across the Spider Queen’s surrounding demon spiders, swiftly unleashing sword qi.
Whether this strike would unite these demon spiders against him, Li Feng couldn’t afford excessive foresight.
Provoking greater chaos was the best strategy Li Feng envisioned.
At least, preventing these demon spiders from swiftly deciding the successor to the Spider Queen was paramount. Eliminating the strongest contenders would make handling the scattered forces much easier, and clearing the vicinity would open up a passage.
Li Feng sent a fiery wave from his sword towards the demon spiders below.
Yet, Li Feng seemed to have underestimated their prowess, as a Queen Demon Spider with an even stronger aura than the one before instantly raised her hand, manifesting a barrier from her web to block the front.
The sword qi pierced through this barrier instantly, but the Queen Demon Spider’s defense layers negated its impact.
Not far away, a Blade Demon Spider, tough shell and bristling with barbs, wielded Double Blades, colliding head-on with the sword qi.
The sword qi failed to breach the Blade Demon Spider’s defense, deflected into the nearby ground.
On the side, the smallest of all, roughly a third the size of other demon spiders, an extremely agile Shadow Demon Spider swiftly dodged the sword qi, and its almost non-existent waves made detection nearly impossible without Li Feng’s keen gaze upon it.
This Shadow Demon Spider, like a stealth fighter, evaded tracking unless seen by the naked eye, but by then, acting in response was too late.
Additionally, nearby stood a Powerful Demon Spider, a large hulking figure resembling a colossus. On this giant was another minuscule spider, yet despite its size, its eight crimson eyes were strikingly conspicuous.
Li Feng’s blade helped him roughly gauge the strengths of these spiders, allowing him to infer their powers from their forms and traits.
The Queen Demon Spider had previously engaged him, leaving some groundwork; the rest were conjectures.
To disrupt their unity, targeting a specific demon spider was vital.
Ideally, it starts with a sudden deadly strike.
Breaking the current balance.
Li Feng immediately targeted the clearly elegant and sensual Queen Demon Spider, familiar from earlier engagements, especially since the others looked far tougher.
If Li Feng intended the Queen Demon Spider as an easy target, she’d surely curse internally.
She was no less than the Queen Demon Spider, the strongest evolutionary in the Demon Spider Cave.
Li Feng adjusted his trajectory, charging at the Queen Demon Spider, as Thunder Flame flickered on the King Sword, preparing to unleash potent force.
The Queen Demon Spider’s seductive eyes met Li Feng’s gaze again.
Nightmare activated.
