Figure in Azure Robes

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Amid the Sand Spider swarm, Lu Yunxiao engaged the Second-rank Sand Spider in a fierce clash.

Every strike of the Flying Rainbow Sword landed upon its spider legs, producing ringing sounds.

Unlike just now, when he had held a slight advantage, Lu Yunxiao had fallen into a disadvantageous position this time.

The Second-rank Sand Spider was already quite powerful and capable of fighting Lu Yunxiao alone. With the numerous First-rank Sand Spiders around it lending support, Lu Yunxiao found himself constrained on all sides, making the battle extremely difficult.

"Sword Qi Ring Burst!" Lu Yunxiao shouted softly. Invisible, razor-sharp sword qi spread outward in rings, tearing apart every First-rank Sand Spider that approached him. Once more, the space within three meters of him became empty.

Holding the Flying Rainbow Sword, Lu Yunxiao charged straight at the Second-rank Sand Spider.

"Screech!" The Second-rank Sand Spider let out a roar. As it swung its enormous spider legs to meet him, it seemed to issue some sort of command as well.

The numerous First-rank Sand Spiders stopped advancing. Instead, they stood some distance away, their mouths slightly open as they spat out one earth-yellow web after another.

In an instant, hundreds of webs densely wrapped toward Lu Yunxiao. The sky above him was completely covered by spiderwebs, without the slightest gap.

"Not good!" Lu Yunxiao was startled. He had not expected the Sand Spiders to have such a trick. These webs possessed powerful adhesive and paralyzing effects. Once he was caught by them, he would immediately be bound and lose his ability to move. At that point, death would be his only fate.

Lu Yunxiao's gaze sharpened as Dou Qi surged madly around him. He forcibly drove back the Second-rank Sand Spider, then leaped into the air and slashed out with his sword.

Sword qi flowed, and countless sword shadows filled the sky. A terrifying sharpness that chilled one to the marrow burst forth from him. Lu Yunxiao once again unleashed that breathtakingly beautiful yet tremendously powerful strike.

"Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens!"

Lu Yunxiao shouted softly as resplendent sword light bloomed with incomparable brilliance. The sharp Sword Light seemed to encounter no obstruction whatsoever, tearing apart every yellow spiderweb that filled the sky.

The severed webs drifted down like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, while Lu Yunxiao slowly descended to the ground.

Despite unleashing such a powerful attack, Lu Yunxiao's expression was far from pleasant.

Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens was indeed powerful, but it consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi.

He had already been fighting for quite some time, and after using that strike, even with a Mysterious-tier Mid-grade cultivation method, only forty to fifty percent of the Dou Qi in his body remained.

That amount of Dou Qi could at most support two or three more uses of Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens.

Yet against so many Sand Spiders, two or three uses of Immortal's Flight Beyond the Heavens were nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

"This is troublesome." Lu Yunxiao muttered, his expression solemn as water.

"To capture bandits, first capture their king. Kill that Second-rank Sand Spider first!"

Lu Yunxiao murmured inwardly. Those First-rank Sand Spiders relied entirely on the Second-rank Sand Spider's command. If he could kill it, the swarm might fall into chaos without its leader, and he might have some chance of breaking out. Otherwise, he would likely be held here until all his Dou Qi was exhausted.

That would truly put him in a terrible situation.

"I'll risk it!" A fierce light flashed across Lu Yunxiao's face as he lunged toward the Second-rank Sand Spider.

This time, Lu Yunxiao's attacks became completely frenzied. Innate Geng Metal Dou Qi poured forth wildly, and the razor-sharp sword qi carved wound after wound into the Second-rank Sand Spider, forcing it back step by step.

"Break!" Lu Yunxiao slashed down once more, and the Flying Rainbow Sword, gleaming with Golden Light, severed another section of the Second-rank Sand Spider's leg.

"Screech!" The Second-rank Sand Spider wailed in pain. Its body flashed, and it actually leaped straight into the spider swarm behind it, refusing to fight Lu Yunxiao head-on any longer.

"Where do you think you're going?" Lu Yunxiao raised his sword to pursue, but First-rank Sand Spiders surged forward and blocked his path.

"Get lost!" Lu Yunxiao slashed out, directly cutting several First-rank Sand Spiders before him into pieces.

But after that delay, the Second-rank Sand Spider had completely hidden in the rear, directing the Sand Spider swarm to slowly close in on Lu Yunxiao while repeatedly spewing webs.

"Damn it, this is really bad now!" Lu Yunxiao dodged the binding webs, his expression ugly. He had never expected the Second-rank Sand Spider to be so slippery that it would simply flee.

He was now surrounded from all sides, and the Dou Qi within him was steadily dwindling. The situation was growing worse and worse, with not the slightest hope of breaking free in sight.

"Whoosh!" After dodging another web, Lu Yunxiao tore apart a First-rank Sand Spider and stood with his sword in hand.

Watching the Sand Spider swarm continue to surge toward him like a tide, a ruthless glint appeared in Lu Yunxiao's eyes. He had not wanted to use this move, because it had a flaw. Though immensely powerful, repeated use would damage his body.

But under the current circumstances, he seemed to have no hope of breaking free. Rather than that, he might as well go completely mad for once.

The Flying Rainbow Sword lay horizontally before him as Lu Yunxiao formed a Sword Finger with his Left Hand and ran it along the Sword Body of the Flying Rainbow Sword.

Brilliant red light rose from the Sword Body. Sharp, tyrannical, and incomparably explosive sword qi scattered in every direction, enveloping Lu Yunxiao.

An extremely fine, condensed red ray shot from the Sword Tip, extending straight out for more than a hundred meters. It carried a terrifying chill that made one's hairs stand on end, a coldness that penetrated deep into the bones and heart.

"Sword Separates..." Lu Yunxiao murmured in a low voice. His aura surged as his gaze became sharp to the extreme.

Just as he was about to slash out, several azure sword qi streaks, each over a hundred meters long, suddenly shot down from the sky.

The sword qi circled around him once, and the First-rank Sand Spiders were instantly torn into fragments as though made of paper.

With that single strike, several hundred First-rank Sand Spiders around him had died, more than half of them gone.

The sudden development startled Lu Yunxiao, and the sword technique he had been condensing slowly dispersed.

He could not help raising his head. Looking up, he saw a figure in azure robes appear high in the sky.

She was too far away for him to see clearly, but her graceful figure was easy to discern.

She casually waved the long sword in her hand, releasing several more streams of sword qi. The terrifying sword qi swept down and nearly wiped out the remaining Sand Spider swarm.

Even the Second-rank Sand Spider possessed no Resistance Ability beneath the sword qi and was directly torn apart completely. The terrifying might of that sword qi sent chills through one's entire body.

Lu Yunxiao did not react much, his expression remaining calm. He had even witnessed the world-destroying scenes of a Nine-Star Dou Saint battle. Though the sword qi before him was terrifying, it could not truly shock him.

He was more interested in the identity of the newcomer.

An azure figure, Dou Qi Wings, powerful Wind Attribute sword qi... Though she was far away and her face could not be seen clearly, the person before him gradually overlapped with a figure from his memories.
