Troll Spider

"Three!"

The sound faded.

Nie Kuang moved, his blade flashing, instantly taking the lives of two Wind and Cloud Sect disciples.

Taking advantage of the momentum, he slashed at Chen Ning with his sword.

His eyes were filled with a surging killing intent.

This person never took the three brothers seriously from beginning to end; he was extremely arrogant. Nie Kuang hated this kind of ignorant and presumptuous person the most.

Chen Ning sighed helplessly.

Why bother?

I really feel sorry for you.

His gaze fell upon Meng Yuyi, whose expression was icy, her Qingcheng beautiful face beneath the mask devoid of joy or sorrow.

At that moment, Nie Kuang's blade was already close.

The next moment.

Sword Qi swept past.

Nie Kuang was instantly decapitated!

Nie Liu, who was not far away, widened his eyes in disbelief.

Incredibly... he killed Nie Kuang in an instant.

Moreover, he didn't even see the person next to Chen Ning draw their sword.

Then Sword Qi swept past.

To take a life.

The threat of death descended instantly.

Nie Liu felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly shouted, "Third Brother!"

Beside them, another figure, who had remained silent, took a step forward.

Of the three Nie brothers, the youngest is the strongest.

Although he is a bit dull.

But he's a martial arts fanatic.

He was solely focused on cultivation and honing his martial arts skills.

Although he is young, his cultivation level has already reached the Earth Martial Realm Fourth Heaven.

He is a level above Nie Kuang.

Now, Nie Liu was filled with fear.

So he woke up the Third Nie Brother, who had been in a daze.

"Drink!"

A low growl.

His towering, iron-tower-like body charged forward, unleashing a punch.

The force of his fist was as solid as a mountain.

The power of this punch was enough to crush a Spirit Martial Realm Peak expert.

But in front of Meng Yuyi, she was like cotton.

A Sword Qi swept across the battlefield with a whooshing sound.

The void trembled!

In an instant, it tore apart the entire arm of the Third Nie Brother.

Blood gushed out immediately.

The Third Nie Brother, in pain, turned back to look for his eldest brother, only to find that his brother's brows were furrowed and his expression was uncertain.

Then, with a resolute leap, he stepped into the cave revealed behind the stone wall.

He vanished in an instant.

Third Nie Brother never imagined that his eldest brother would abandon him and seek survival on his own.

It didn't cause him too much pain.

With a wave of her hand, Meng Yuyi unleashed Sword Qi, ending his life.

At this moment, the old man in black robes, who had just won first place in the long-distance race, turned around dejectedly and found that Chen Ning and his companion had already dealt with the Nie brothers. He was overjoyed.

Despite his injuries, he turned back and laughed heartily, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! I, He Changming of the Wind and Cloud Sect, thank you for saving my life!"

Chen Ning nodded, accepting the offer with a clear conscience.

At the same time, he was still awestruck by Meng Yuyi's power.

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Lake Holy Land is truly extraordinary; her cultivation talent is nothing short of terrifying.

Their strength has actually reached this level.

I reckon his understanding of Sword Intent is quite profound.

To twist one's fingers into a sword.

Extremely impressive.

Don't be fooled by how obedient Meng Yuyi is now; after all, she's from the Heavenly Lake Holy Land.

Who knows when the Heavenly Lake Holy Land might plot against the Dragon-Seeking Sect?

At that time, Meng Yuyi was no longer his helper.

Rather, they are their formidable rivals!

Therefore, the more Chen Ning dealt with these powerful undercover agents, the more vigilant he became.

We need to improve our strength as soon as possible.

Prepare multiple trump cards.

"Once I reach the Venerable Martial Realm, will I still dare to be so cold all the time? I'll have to smile at you even if I have to pinch my cheeks."

Chen Ning thought to himself, then looked toward the cave entrance behind the stone wall.

The Seven-Colored Vine are most likely inside.

We need to get in as soon as possible.

Otherwise, what if Nie Liu, who escaped inside, gets his hands on it?

Chen Ning is about to miss out on his second epic reward.

Without further ado, Chen Ning and Meng Yuyi entered the cave one after the other.

Seeing this, the old man in black robes led his few remaining disciples inside.

Chen Ning and his companion were easier to get along with, unlike the Nie brothers, who were quick to try and kill each other.

So the old man in black robes also decided to go in and try his luck.

The cave was dimly lit and the space was very enclosed.

Ordinary flames simply cannot ignite in a cave.

Chen Ning took out a [Holy Light Arrow] to use as a light source, and they proceeded smoothly without any obstacles.

The old man in black robes led his disciples down a different path, which was not so easy; they stumbled and fell along the way.

Several disciples accidentally fell into a trap in the cave and were seriously injured.

Highly poisonous substances also clung to the walls.

The disciples' faces turned green upon encountering him.

He hurriedly took a medicinal pill to resist it.

As they continued their exploration, finally, a faint halo of light stood out starkly in the darkness.

Chen Ning approached.

Sure enough, it was a vine with seven colors.

The flowers were vibrant and dazzling.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have discovered the quest item [Seven-Colored Vine]"

Having received confirmation from the system, Chen Ning nodded to himself and prepared to harvest.

But then, a mysterious and deadly threat struck.

The top-grade Protective Talisman was crushed.

A terrifying cyclone exploded.

Chen Ning was so shaken that he staggered backward.

Then, still feeling a lingering fear, he looked in that direction.

There, a giant spider burst from the ground, its eight thick, long legs exuding immense power. Its sharp teeth gleamed with a chilling light.

If someone were to get bitten by it, it would be a complete tragedy!

What's even more terrifying is that this spider's attack method just now was clearly a combination of magic and martial arts.

It can even launch ranged attacks.

It's normal for a divine plant like the Seven-Colored Vine to be guarded by strange beasts, but no one expected this spider to possess such terrifying strength.

"An eighth-tier spirit beast... Troll Spider?"

Meng Yuyi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

For the first time since arriving in the secret realm, he showed a serious expression.

Chen Ning was also slightly startled.

It was actually an eighth-tier spirit beast!

A seventh-tier spirit beast is equivalent to Earth Martial Realm Peak expert.

An eighth-tier spirit beast can rival the strength of a Martial Venerable expert.

Outside, although such spirit beasts are powerful, Meng Yuyi could handle them with ease.

But now we are in a secret realm.

His cultivation was suppressed.

She was only at the Earth Martial Realm Ninth Layer.

Meng Yuyi turned her head and glanced at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning was quick-witted and immediately saw through her meaning.

Good heavens! Is she planning to abandon me and run away?

Have a look!

What did I tell you?!

These undercover agents are really unreliable!

When faced with a crisis that threatens their lives, they will definitely be the first to run away.

Meng Yuyi's expression was complicated.

Now that her power is restricted, she may not be a match for this Troll Spider.

The best choice at this moment is to abandon Chen Ning and flee alone.

But...

Because of Chen Ning, she was able to alleviate the pain caused by the Extreme Cold Spirit Body.

It was Chen Ning's caring words that night that gave her a warmth she had never experienced before.

Consider it... returning it to him!

This thought came to mind.

Meng Yuyi bit her lip and said resolutely, "Sect Leader, you should leave this place immediately. Leave this to me."

Then, a graceful figure flashed and stood between Chen Ning and the Troll Spider.

To shield him from a crisis, regardless of life or death, would be enough to settle any debts of gratitude.

From now on, we owe each other nothing!
