The Man Faced Demon Spider That Tasted a Nuclear Bomb

"Hoe?" Zhu Zhuqing was utterly bewildered. Who would have thought that in the middle of a perfectly good fight, their main damage dealer would pull out a hoe? Had he gotten addicted to farming?

I didn't understand.

Seeing Xiao Ze charge at it, the Man Faced Demon Spider repeatedly stabbed out with its Spider Legs.

Clang, clang, clang—

Every attack was blocked by the Great Shield in Xiao Ze's hand.

"Go to hell!"

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Ze viciously smashed the Fertility Hoe in his right hand down on one of the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs.

Crack—

A crisp sound rang out beside Zhu Zhuqing's ear.

She stared wide-eyed at the absurd sight before her.

Xiao Ze had actually smashed off one of the Man Faced Demon Spider's front legs with a hoe.

Smashed it off!

"Skreeee!!!"

The broken leg made the Man Faced Demon Spider let out a shrill, ear-piercing wail like an infant crying. The human-face pattern on its abdomen twisted out of shape.

"What are you screaming for!"

Golden light enveloped Xiao Ze's Fertility Hoe, forming a massive light scythe that slashed toward the Man Faced Demon Spider's remaining legs.

Another scream rang out.

At the same time, the Earth Potato King, Red Flame, and Yu Jin, the three Agricultural Sprites, formed a triangular formation.

The power of the three Agricultural Sprites continuously poured into Yu Jin's Overloaded Corn Missile.

Both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong felt an intense sense of danger.

Watching the three Summoned Beasts' movements, a term suddenly sprang into their minds.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"This is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Ning Rongrong was somewhat dumbfounded. "But how can Summoned Beasts use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Sensing the terrifying presence behind him, Xiao Ze hurriedly retreated with Suihua.

Dazzling red light erupted from Yu Jin's Corn Cob, and a Honey Bomb carrying a thick, sweet fragrance shot forth.

Sensing the Aura of death, the Man Faced Demon Spider's eight compound eyes abruptly contracted. The human-face pattern on its abdomen twisted as it shrieked and swung its Spider Legs, trying to retreat, but its injuries made it stagger.

Its Spider Legs scraped several trails across the ground.

It was too slow. There was no way it could escape.

The instant the Honey Bomb touched the Man Faced Demon Spider's back, it exploded with a thunderous boom.

The roar of the explosion sounded like a clap of thunder beside everyone's ears.

The energy ripples effortlessly tore apart trees and shattered rocks within dozens of meters with overwhelming force.

The heat wave flung up dust that blotted out the sky, and even Xiao Ze was sent flying by the impact.

Zhu Zhuqing was blasted dozens of meters from the giant tree. Assisted by the Earth Potato King, Xiao Ze caught her in his arms with both hands.

Disbelief covered Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool face. She looked at Xiao Ze, her lips trembling, unable to say a word.

Was this really strength a Soul Grandmaster could possess?

Then what did that make her?

"Um, do you still want me to hold you?"

Whoosh—

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks reddened slightly, and she immediately slipped out of Xiao Ze's arms.

Ning Rongrong ran over from afar and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Xiao Ze, was that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Was it?" Ning Rongrong grabbed Xiao Ze's arm and shook it as she asked.

"Easy, easy."

Ning Rongrong released his arm and asked again, "Your Summoned Beasts can use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"It wasn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You should be able to tell that my Summoned Beasts are different from everyone else's. They're called Agricultural Sprites.

"That was a combination skill. It's more or less like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Xiao Ze looked into the distance. As the smoke and dust dispersed, only a Purple Soul Ring giving off a faint glow remained floating in midair.

Not even the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse was left behind.

Xiao Ze stepped forward. The Eight Spider Lances appeared and Devoured all the energy from the Purple Soul Ring.

"An External Soul Bone!" Ning Rongrong cried out.

"So this is an External Soul Bone?" Zhu Zhuqing murmured.

"But why does this External Soul Bone look so familiar?"

"They're the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spider Legs."

At that, Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched.

Good grief. So he had killed a Man Faced Demon Spider before and even gotten an External Soul Bone from it.

And today, he had killed another Man Faced Demon Spider.

Was he some kind of Man Faced Demon Spider killer?

"What's so surprising about an External Soul Bone?" Xiao Ze slowly walked over.

"This is an External Soul Bone! The rarest kind of Soul Bone. There are even fewer of them than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!" Ning Rongrong nearly coughed up blood.

He had an External Soul Bone already, so of course he could say that.

She, Ning Rongrong, did not even have a single Soul Bone.

"Is that so?" As he spoke, Xiao Ze's spine glowed jade-green, and a semi-transparent Energy Vine swayed through the air.

"You... you... you!!!" Ning Rongrong pointed at Xiao Ze with her right hand as she kept backing away. Her small chest rose and fell continuously with every breath.

Zhu Zhuqing stared in stunned disbelief. Was he really human?

Soon, Ning Rongrong asked the question she most wanted answered. "Two External Soul Bones... are you really human?"

"Pure luck, pure luck. Who knew the chance of getting External Soul Bones was so high? I haven't killed many Soul Beasts in my life, yet I got two Soul Bones."

"Aren't you afraid I'll have my father take your External Soul Bones from you?" Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes and asked curiously.

"Wow! You really are a bad woman. Just earlier, you kept saying you wanted to marry me, and now you want my bones."

"Not at all~" Ning Rongrong shyly smacked Xiao Ze.

"I'm only reminding you. Be more careful when you use External Soul Bones in the future. If someone sets their sights on you, you'll be finished."

"I know."

"Yoo, yoo~~"

Hearing the mournful cry, the three of them looked over.

The Azure Spirit Deer was kneeling on all four limbs, its blood flowing across the ground.

"This..."

"Its life force has reached its end. With your abilities, you can't save it."

"Then what should we do?" If the Azure Spirit Deer had not helped just now, Xiao Ze might already have turned it into a Soul Ring.

But the Azure Spirit Deer had helped him. Xiao Ze was not some beast; he simply could not bring himself to do it.

"The best outcome is to let it become your Soul Ring. Once you become a god, revive it."

Xiao Ze pondered for a moment, then nodded. He had to admit that this was the best outcome.

"But I can't do it."

"I'll do it. Give me control of your body."

The next moment, a golden halo flowed around Xiao Ze's body.

His brows and eyes softened, while the depths of his Pupils gained the weathered wisdom of countless years.

A gentle breeze brushed past, making the hem of his clothes flutter lightly. His whole body seemed to merge with heaven, earth, and nature, and a sacred Aura washed over them.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what was happening to Xiao Ze. Why did he suddenly seem like an old man?

The comfort and kindness on his face were not something someone Xiao Ze's age should possess.

So was this person radiating a gentle glow really Xiao Ze?

Xiao Ze slowly stepped forward.

Sensing the Natural Aura of life on Xiao Ze, the Azure Spirit Deer did not flee.

"Yoo, yoo~" The Azure Spirit Deer brought its head close to Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze wrapped his arms around the Azure Spirit Deer's neck and softly said, "Child, I ask that you follow him. In the future, he will bring you back to life."
