Chapter 597: 597: After Beating the Junior, Here Comes the Senior
Because the spider had already roared and charged at Jiang Xiaobai with incredible speed!
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t even react in time and instinctively raised his sword, Yuan Hong, to block the attack.
Clang!
With a loud noise, the two sharp fangs by the spider’s mouth crashed onto Yuan Hong like a massive weight.
Jiang Xiaobai’s hand went numb, and he almost let go of Yuan Hong!
He himself was sent flying backward by the impact.
“Hiss!”
The spider kept screeching, flailing wildly in place. Jiang Xiaobai, suppressing the urge to cough up blood, looked closer while red-faced and heaved a sigh of relief.
That’s because the two sharp fangs by the spider’s mouth were snapped off by the superior quality of Yuan Hong!
It’s a good thing they snapped off!
That means his Yuan Hong could hurt this spider.
Getting up from the ground, Jiang Xiaobai swung Yuan Hong, creating a flurry of sword flowers in front of him.
“Damn dog thing, when I asked if you’ve eaten, it was a bloody courtesy, you not having eaten doesn’t mean you get to eat me!”
“I’ll smash you!”
After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai charged forward. The spider was still at the Late-Stage Merge Realm, which Jiang Xiaobai estimated to be of similar strength to the huge ape from before.
As he reached the spider, Jiang Xiaobai raised Yuan Hong and hacked down fiercely.
His target was the spider’s eyes.
But the spider reacted swiftly, dodging at the last minute, causing the sword to strike its head, leaving a crack.
Jiang Xiaobai knew clearly, the reason he couldn’t split the spider in one swing was due to his lack of strength, not Yuan Hong’s sharpness.
Like how an extremely sharp axe could easily chop firewood when wielded by an adult.
But if a child wielded it, at most, they could only lodge the axe into the wood.
The same principle applies!
If a child can’t chop wood, you can’t blame the axe for not being sharp enough, right?
It’s obvious you can’t!
Jiang Xiaobai delivered another blow on the spider’s leg, shattering a piece of its hard shell.
With a wicked smile, he was planning to aim for the same spot a couple more times, hoping to sever one of the spider’s legs, when
all of a sudden, the spider went berserk!
It let out a roar and kicked Jiang Xiaobai away with outstanding speed. Before he could even land, the spider had already appeared in front of him.
Though the two sharp fangs by its mouth were gone, the legs of the spider were equally sharp and solid weapons.
The colossal spider leg, three times the height of a human, came crashing down at Jiang Xiaobai who barely evaded the strike in shock.
“Damn, I almost got a cold sweat, my heart almost took flight!”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke fearfully, still planning to continue his attack.
But the spider didn’t grant him the chance, appearing in front of him with terrifying speed, its two front legs attacking relentlessly.
What was even more terrifying was the venomous sting on the spider’s abdomen!
The sting was thick as a man!
Jiang Xiaobai bloody doubted that if he was hit, he probably wouldn’t be stung to death but crushed to death!
Jiang Xiaobai’s sword, Yuan Hong, despite being incredibly sharp and capable of hurting the spider, lacked the speed to keep up with it.
The spider was essentially a weapon itself, top to bottom!
Bang!
Once again, after being launched into the wall by the spider, Jiang Xiaobai angrily got up.
“Damn it, a little sunshine and you start getting ideas, today I’ll make sure I squash you to death!”
Even if Jiang Xiaobai wanted to hold something back, under these circumstances, there was no point—he might just get himself killed.
Hold something back? For how bloody long?
“Seven Treasures Pagoda!”
“Smash it!”
Jiang Xiaobai roared and the golden Pagoda sped towards the huge spider. Due to the limitations of the terrain, Jiang Xiaobai could not enlarge the Pagoda.
But not being able to enlarge it, did not mean it lacked power!
Compared to the spider, the Pagoda was like a green bean, but the moment they touched, the giant spider was flung away.
It disintegrated in midair and eventually scattered on the ground.
“Huh, piece of trash, thinking you can…”
Jiang Xiaobai was just about to show off, but mysteriously, the passage expanded outward again. This time, the expansion was more than ten times larger than before!
Boom!
A giant black object smashed onto the ground.
Jiang Xiaobai was extremely familiar with this object.
“A spider leg…”
He muttered, and couldn’t help but look up. The passageway wasn’t just wider, it was significantly taller.
In front of him, an immense spider, the size of a mountain range, was looking down at him.
Gulp.
The sound of saliva swallowing was especially crisp.
Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, many smaller spiders began crawling down the two hind legs of the giant spider.
Their size was just like the one Jiang Xiaobai had just killed!
Comparing the smaller spiders to the giant one in front of him, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched tic for tack.
“After hitting the small fry, here comes the boss,”
“I truly understood the meaning of this phrase now.”
Jiang Xiaobai uttered, then turned on his heels and ran!
Behind him, there were more than hundreds of spiders chasing after him, not to mention a mountainous spider staring at him. Fight my ass?
What frustrated Jiang Xiaobai even more was that the giant spider had surpassed the Late-stage Merge Realm.
It possessed the power at the peak of the Post-Tribulation phase!
One Late-Stage Merge Realm small spider was already enough for Jiang Xiaobai to handle, without the Pagoda it would have been even more difficult.
But this giant spider was entirely beyond his capabilities.
Even in his escape, Jiang Xiaobai was however still not resigned. He consolidated a blade of elemental spirit in the air and with a thought, drove it towards the huge spider.
Buzz!
In that instant, Jiang Xiaobai felt as if his own elemental spirit was about to explode!
A severe pain attacked him, almost cost him his life. He could no longer run smoothly.
“Damn, are you really as powerful as this!” Jiang Xiaobai yelled out with impotent rage. He was already desperate and dared not to try aimlessly anymore.
This is the downside of the elemental spirit blade.
If the opponent’s elemental spirit is weak, the blade will kill instantly.
If the opponent is slightly stronger, it can still cause harm.
But facing an immensely powerful spider like this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t imagine that the Elemental Spirit Blade could actually backfire on him!
That kind of pain, he does not wish to try again.
At this moment, a hole suddenly opened above Jiang Xiaobai’s head, light shone in, and five figures freely fell down from above.
The five people firmly landed on the ground. When they saw this blue passage, they were overjoyed.
“Big brother, this is the legendary testing site that leads straight to the exit!”
“We were almost at the exit just now, now that we’re down here, as long as we go in that direction, we can definitely get out!”
“This is too lucky, haha, that Black Demon Tribe who wants to compete with us, we are definitely faster than them!”
“Enough talk, let’s move. Once we find the exit and get out, we have to properly humiliate those from the Black Demon Tribe!”
The five of them shouted excitedly and charged in the direction of the giant spider.
Midway through their charge, they all suddenly stopped in their tracks, unable to move.
“What the hell is that!”
One of them screamed in horror.
