Chapter 1234 - 1234 0712 Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider_2

Chapter 1234: Chapter 0712: Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider_2 Chapter 1234: Chapter 0712: Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider_2 Upon receiving the summon of the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider, a total of four ghost faces were mobilized, none of their strength diminished, all maintained at their peak. Under the command of the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider, these four ghost faces split into two groups. One group, consisting of three ghost faces, ferociously pounced toward the magic sands; their mission was clear: to find a way to suppress the magic sands and prevent it from aiding Qi Tian. The other group had only one ghost face, but it was the strongest of the four; its target was also very clear: Qi Tian. Its goal was to cut Qi Tian down from his horse and completely eradicate this greatest threat to the Inner Underground Palace.

The command capabilities of the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider were not limited to this. Just now, Qi Tian had used various methods to successively breach walls and solve the traps hidden within, all while subduing the four ghost faces. The spider had seen it all. It was immensely wary of Qi Tian from the very beginning, and it had considered eliminating him early on. However, Qi Tian was well-prepared, with the magic sands providing support, so the spider hesitated to strike. Of course, the primary reason that ultimately constrained it from acting was the brand imprinted in its Sea of Consciousness by the owner of the Saint’s Tomb.

This mental brand clearly demanded the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider’s primary protection target, which was to ensure the safety of the coffin. When the coffin was not directly threatened, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider was not allowed to strike proactively.

The initial strategy adopted by Qi Tian was very correct; he did not attack all walls simultaneously but instead cut down one wall after another, severing their connections with other walls. Such actions caused the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider to judge Qi Tian’s threat level as not a priority to be dealt with.

However, now Qi Tian continued to demonstrate his capabilities and was ready to directly attack the wall where the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider was hiding. Naturally, the spider could no longer wait and proceeded to directly confront Qi Tian to strangle him.

The Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider had already realized that Qi Tian possessed strong Divine Sense and seemed to have mastered some ability to detect the energy threads it spat out. The longer the night, the more dreams occur, and to prevent Qi Tian from developing another uncontrollable power, other than assigning a ghost face to directly confront Qi Tian, the spider was also prepared to use another of its innate abilities on Qi Tian when necessary.

The four ghost faces moved with incredible speed, arriving at their respective targets in the blink of an eye. The magic sands did not dare to slack off, desperately spewing thick fog in an attempt to disrupt the three ghost faces’ routes and prevent them from finding their target accurately. At the same time, it mobilized dozens of grains of sand, including several that had attained the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage. They rapidly revolved around the body of the magic sands, forming a tight protective circle to keep the three ghost faces away from its core.

Qi Tian was in extreme peril. The ghost face he faced was unrestricted and could fully utilize its Nascent Soul Stage strength. Its goal was simple and clear: to bring death upon Qi Tian, and for this mission, the ghost face would not be stingy at any cost.

Qi Tian felt an unprecedented pressure. Although he had rescued the magic sands, they were still incapable of assisting him, and he had to confront the danger posed by the ghost face alone.

The first thing that came to Qi Tian’s mind was to use the flying sword of a Nascent Soul Master. At that moment, it was the only means he could think of to combat the ghost face. The problem with relying on this method was that he still lacked the ability to bring out the full combat power of the Nascent Soul Master’s flying sword. Every time he used it, it required a considerable amount of time to prepare. Without proper preparation, he could only rely on the flying sword’s own characteristics for combat, which would severely weaken its combat strength. Nevertheless, Qi Tian had no other choice but to grit his teeth and proceed.

Just as Qi Tian grasped his flying sword, the monstrous face had already charged close, lunging towards him. The face relied on its formidable power, not needing to utilize any other techniques, and purely using its savage collision, it could leave Qi Tian in a complete daze, disoriented and confused. Once Qi Tian lost his composure, he would be at the mercy of the face to butcher him.

Qi Tian swung the flying sword in his hand, aiming to slash at the face when, at that moment, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider that had been hiding all along let out a high-pitched scream. This was another of its innate abilities: using its high-frequency scream to launch a direct psychic assault on the target. This method was incredibly effective.

Earlier, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider had already attacked Qi Tian once with this technique and had achieved quite a good result, causing Qi Tian an unbearable headache. This time, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider was seriously prepared for a lengthy period, its high-frequency scream amassing more energy, more powerful and more precise in its attack. Its potency was several times greater than before, incomparable to the first.

The Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider couldn’t wait to see the effect of its current assault, believing that even if it didn’t cause Qi Tian’s brain to explode from the blast, it would at least make him dizzy, weak in the hands and feet, and completely lose his ability to resist. At that time, if the face could charge into Qi Tian once, it would be sufficient to send Qi Tian to his death in the Netherworld.

However, to the spider’s amazement, Qi Tian seemed completely unaffected, not even showing the slightest hint of a headache. Qi Tian’s movements weren’t affected at all. The action of waving his flying sword didn’t show any sign of change and was still firmly aimed at the oncoming monstrous face.

The Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider couldn’t believe its own eyes, but the reality couldn’t be denied. It opened its mouth wide and aimed at Qi Tian, emitting two even sharper, high-frequency screams. If someone were here with some cups made of mysterious iron, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider could have twisted and deformed the cups with its screams alone.

Yet, Qi Tian remained unharmed, unaffected by the spider’s moves. Nothing happened, and this outcome caught the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider completely off guard.

Just then, Qi Tian’s flying sword was about to land on the charging face. Sensing the cold intent of murder emanating from the sword, the face panicked, hit the brakes in mid-air, and turned to flee. It dared not collide head-on with the flying sword.

Understanding the importance of seizing the moment in battle, Qi Tian knew the face had underestimated him this time; otherwise, it would never have chosen this approach. If he let it escape, the next time it attacked him, it certainly wouldn’t be this close, nor as unprotected as now. Qi Tian absolutely couldn’t give the face another chance, for next time he might be the one at a disadvantage.

Almost instinctively, Qi Tian commanded the majority of the Transporting Whirlwinds to give chase to the embarrassed, fleeing face. The few remaining Whirlwinds continued to revolve around him, clearing away the energy silk threads that the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider might spit out and blocking the high-frequency screams. These were essential measures taken by Qi Tian to ensure his own safety, which could not be removed under any circumstances.
