Chapter 935 The Red-Clad Hermit's Bitter Battle Against the Spider Demon
Luoyan Prefecture, Hun County.
This is the county with the largest area and population in Luoyan Prefecture, and it is located on the coast of Yanzhou to the south and the coast to the east, making its location extremely important.
However, the three prefectures had no influence in this county, and even the county government of Hun County had no connection with the Wu Dynasty.
Here, all officials are demons: a dog demon serves as the magistrate, a wolf demon as the constable, and the county government office is filled with the stench of blood and violence.
The one who caused all of this was that red-robed hermit, a demon saint at the Yang Realm.
Because of her immense power, she controlled two counties and attracted countless worshippers. The people trembled in fear before her temples, and even from a distance, they couldn't help but kneel and kowtow.
At this moment, in a cave in a mountain hollow, countless transparent little spiders crawled out of the cave and saw the sunlight for the first time.
Deep within the cave, a blood-red spider opened its eyes and began to mend its weary body.
The red-robed hermit was in a good mood, after all, she had finally completed her childbirth, giving birth to more than 800 little spiders, which was unimaginable even among demons.
Like martial artists, the higher a demon's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring, especially for powerful demon saints who are almost impossible to conceive.
But the red-robed hermit was different. Her innate supernatural power was in dual cultivation, and she could ignore racial bloodlines, ultimately turning them all into her own pure bloodline, making the bloodline of her children pure.
It was with this innate supernatural power that she rose to power in Luoyan Prefecture, a land teeming with demons, and turned all the male demons around her into her devoted subjects.
Having completed production today, she unleashed her demonic aura, and the spider's head transformed into the head of an incomparably beautiful woman.
With bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, and long, smooth hair cascading down her back, she would undoubtedly be a stunning beauty if it weren't for the enormous and terrifying spider head behind her.
With a smile on her lips, she said calmly, "With so many children, once they grow up, I can turn them into food and refine them all. My strength will evolve again, and those old fogies will no longer be able to swagger in front of me. But before that, while I'm in a good mood, let's go teach that arrogant Demon Suppression General a lesson."
The red-robed hermit's pupils emitted a sinister red aura, and his mood grew increasingly good.
Just then, an aura suddenly approached from the horizon, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
"Ye Kang of the Demon Suppression Division, from this moment on, take over the coastal counties!"
The red-robed hermit paused for a moment, then peered ahead, his gaze piercing through the mountains to see Ye Kang, clad in armor and exuding an imposing aura.
Her expression changed instantly.
"How dare you! I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep. I really underestimated you!"
The woman in red felt deeply humiliated; no human warrior had ever dared to disregard her like this.
Even Lokilin, who could easily overpower him, still had to speak to him with utmost respect.
Who does this kid think he is!
The red-robed hermit instantly flew into a rage, his figure flashed and disappeared from the cave, reappearing on the mountains.
With its eight incredibly long legs planted firmly in the ground, the enormous spider's body immediately drew everyone's attention.
"The red-clad immortal has appeared!"
Countless people knelt down, their faces covered in cold sweat.
The appearance of the Red-Clad Fairy is not a good thing. Who on earth dared to anger her?
Just then, Ye Kang flew over, a smirk playing on his lips. Holding a long sword, he showed no sign of backing down and directly confronted the red-robed hermit.
Amidst the horrified gazes of countless people, Ye Kang loudly proclaimed, "What kind of demon dares to block the path of the Demon Suppression Division? Are you courting death?"
"what!"
The people were dumbfounded.
I've never seen anyone dare to speak to the red-robed immortal like that before; isn't that courting death?
Sure enough, the red-robed hermit's expression grew even more ferocious, and he laughed angrily, "So this is the Demon Suppression Division. Didn't Luo Qilin teach you to be careful with your words and actions?"
Ye Kang raised his head and said calmly, "Being cautious in speech and action is certainly a golden rule, but unfortunately, you are not worthy of it."
"Interesting, are you deliberately trying to intimidate me? Are you really not afraid I'll kill you?"
"That bear said the same thing, but now his corpse has become my material. Red-Clothed Immortal, is that it? This is my last warning to you. Get out of here now, and I might spare your life."
"You? You're warning me? Fine, fine, I really underestimated you human warriors. I'll see how you're going to make your life difficult for me!"
The red-robed hermit was so angry that he lost his mind. This was truly going against the natural order! How dare a mere brat at the Yang Chu realm speak to him like that!
Wait a minute! Wasn't this guy only at the Yin stage? Could the information be wrong?
The red-robed hermit had a slight doubt, but he ignored it the next second. Whether it was Yin Chu or Yang Chu, it made no difference to him.
Even if it's Lokilin behind this kid today, I'll skin him alive!
The next second, the red-robed hermit suddenly attacked, opening his mouth and spitting out countless green poisonous gases that filled the sky.
Seeing this, Ye Kang did not hesitate at all. He swung the Demon-Slaying Blade, breaking the poison gas in the middle. At the same time, two poisonous winds were released, using poison against poison, instantly disintegrating the opponent's poison gas.
The red-robed hermit's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, the dispersed poisonous gas condensed again, transforming into green spider phantoms.
Each of these spiders possessed a portion of her strength, and they pounced from all directions, completely overwhelming Ye Kang.
Immediately afterwards, a holy spear beam pierced through the poisonous mist, bursting forth and instantly shattering countless spider phantoms.
Ye Kang didn't hold back and used the Heavenly Axe and the Azure Sky from the start. With the help of his second true spirit, he was already able to use part of the power of the spear's true meaning.
The true meaning originated from the Dao trace. The poisonous mist, which was defeated by this power, could not be condensed again no matter how the red-robed hermit tried to control it. It could only be easily dissipated by the spear light.
Seeing this, the red-robed hermit finally looked at Ye Kang with new respect.
"You've actually mastered the use of Dao Marks, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant. But don't think that just because you've grasped a little bit of Dao Marks, you can show off in front of me. What a joke."
The red-robed hermit snorted disdainfully, then raised his two front legs and swept them fiercely at Ye Kang from both sides.
Despite its enormous size, the speed of this move was still unimaginably fast.
Ye Kang swung his gun sharply to the left, colliding with a spider leg.
He then kicked backward with his right foot, sending the other attacking spider leg flying.
Ye Kang defused the attack in an instant, and the physical strength and extreme speed he displayed finally made the red-robed hermit take him seriously.
"This kid is a bit strange."
The red-robed hermit finally revealed a serious expression. At the same time, with a surge of demonic energy, countless sharp spikes emerged from the spatial rift and rushed straight at Ye Kang.
This is also her innate divine ability, which allows her to summon Netherworld Spikes. Once pierced, the person will be entangled in death energy, and their divine power will be reduced by three-tenths.
However, for Ye Kang, this kind of attack was what he was best at dealing with.
In an instant, 100,000 pink sword energies appeared, instantly forming a sword array that tightly protected him in the center.
The sword energy swirled and revolved, deflecting all the Netherworld Spikes, preventing them from getting close.
The red-robed hermit was not disappointed by this scene; instead, he smiled.
She never intended to use this tactic against Ye Kang; she only needed to stall him.
The next second, countless spider silks came from the void, instantly forming a wall of spider silk that completely covered Ye Kang's figure.
Ye Kang knew something was wrong, and his sword energy surged forth instantly. But the invincible sword energy was unable to cut through these spider silks!
In the blink of an eye, the spider silk formed a giant white cocoon, trapping him tightly.
The surroundings immediately went dark, and even the spiritual energy rapidly diminished.
Seeing this, the red-robed hermit smiled with satisfaction.
"Foolish human, how dare you be arrogant in front of me! My spider silk can bind all things in heaven and earth. Let's see how you break free!"
She wasn't exaggerating; this was indeed her innate supernatural power, named Silk Nest.
Those trapped in the silken nest will soon lose their spiritual energy and be at her mercy.
Ye Kang also discovered this; no matter how much he activated his sword energy, he couldn't break the large cocoon from the inside.
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Task Released: Unraveling the Mystery]
[Mission Requirement: Kill the Red-Clad Hermit]
[Task Rewards: 5000000 Comprehension Points, Moon-Entwining Silk Evolution Bloodline]
Ye Kang's eyes lit up immediately; he hadn't expected the system to work its magic again.
That's right, he was eyeing this guy's spider silk. After all, although his own Moon-Entangling Heavenly Silk was very tough, it was far less effective than this guy's spider silk in resisting sharp weapons.
The system gave him this opportunity: as long as he killed this demonic spider, the Moon-Entwining Silk could evolve again!
"In that case, we have no choice but to use it."
Ye Kang's lips curled into a wicked smile.
The next second, a green flame leaped from his fingertips, a vibrant, emerald-green flame.
Previously, Ye Kang dared not use Heavenly Fire in the outside world because he was not strong enough.
But now that he has reached the Yang Chu realm, he has some means at his disposal. As long as he uses the Returning to Truth Divine Mystery, he can cover up the traces of the Heavenly Fire.
Unless someone is in the presence of a Daoist master, no one can see through his use of Heavenly Fire.
Spider silk may be strong, but how can it withstand heavenly fire?
With a thought, Ye Kang sent the Azure Flame to the inner wall of the cocoon.
Whoohoo!
The flames burned, and in no time, a hole was burned into the large cocoon.
For a True Realm expert, a single loophole is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
Ye Kang put away the spiritual fire, then thrust his spear forward, and the spear light burst forth from the hole, instantly shattering the large cocoon.
The red-robed hermit stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
"You actually managed to break through my silken nest!"
Ye Kang's figure shot out, his spear heading straight for the red-robed hermit, while he said disdainfully, "Is that so strange?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spear light exploded in front of the red-robed hermit. The latter's pupils contracted, and the two human hands that had appeared pushed forward.
Countless spider silks were spun out, forming a shield that blocked the spear's edge.
But this time, he completely underestimated Ye Kang. The Dawn Divine Spear had already touched the true meaning of the spear. How could it be so easy to block it?
A series of piercing sounds rang out as countless spear points pierced through the shield and stabbed straight into the red-robed hermit's massive body.
Green blood flowed out, and the latter was shocked. Its demonic energy transformed into countless spider phantoms, which pounced on it.
Ye Kang didn't even look at him, his brow furrowed and his eyes widened.
The third eye!
A beam of white light shot out from his eyes, sweeping across the area in front of him. All the phantoms shattered, and a burning gash appeared on the red-robed hermit's body.
The latter instantly flew into a rage, raising all eight of its spider legs to form eight sharp blades, which then bombarded the enemy relentlessly.
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed, and his Unfathomable Azure Pupils opened, allowing him to immediately see the opponent's moves. He held the gun with both hands and continuously parried.
The spear's light burst forth wildly, instantly transforming the air into a battle of countless afterimages, making it impossible for onlookers to discern what was happening.
The red-robed hermit grew increasingly alarmed.
This primordial warrior was actually able to keep up with my slashing speed!
Moreover, in terms of physical strength, the opponent doesn't seem to be weaker than me at all. How is that possible!
"Boy, who exactly are you?" The red-robed hermit finally couldn't help but ask.
Ye Kang gave a cold laugh: "The one who killed you."
"Fool, do you really think you can contend with me with this? Fine, I'll show you my true strength!"
The red-robed hermit roared, then increased his slashing speed again. After all, he had eight legs, so his slashes were much faster than Ye Kang's spear.
But Ye Kang had grasped the true meaning of speed and was not flustered at all. Instead, with a thought, he summoned countless chess pieces.
It was the Dao-aligning divine weapon he obtained from the Misty Land, the Mountain and Sea Chess!
Even without a chessboard, a sudden release can catch the opponent off guard.
Sure enough, the black and white chess pieces instantly erupted with endless divine light. Under Ye Kang's control, they actually formed two chess piece swords, which slashed to the sides, just in time to meet the red-robed hermit's two front legs.
Two bangs!
The divine weapon unleashed its power, relying solely on its own strength to sever both legs!
"You beast!"
The red-robed hermit was enraged. With a surge of his qi and blood, his two severed legs instantly grew back.
But Ye Kang had already caught up with this brief recovery time.
Under the control of his mind, all the chess pieces combined into a short spear, which pierced directly into the red-robed hermit's massive lower body amidst the chaos.
"what!"
The latter's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used his demonic energy to drive away the short spear.
But Ye Kang just grinned; he had succeeded.
The next second, an explosion was heard, and the red-robed hermit's lower abdomen burst open, countless blood mists flew, and bits of flesh flew everywhere. All the chess pieces separated and released the power of divine weapons at the same time, forcibly bursting her lower abdomen.
That's right. Ye Kang doesn't have a chessboard and can't unleash the true power of the Mountain and Sea Chess, but he only needs to rely on the power of the divine weapon and use it roughly.
This instantaneous counterattack crippled the red-robed hermit.
She roared to the sky, and her beautiful face instantly contorted into a hideous spider form.
"Human! I will tear you to pieces!!!"
With a deafening roar, the red-robed hermit's demonic aura swept through, and the shattered lower abdomen reformed, though its power was noticeably diminished.
At the same time, the mountains and earth beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently, startling all the birds and beasts into running wildly.
Ye Kang's eyes widened, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The next second, countless spider silk suddenly shot out from under the mountains, instantly covering the sky.
