Qian Renxue and the Ten-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spider

"Why have the two elders of Spirit Hall come to Sunset Forest?"

Sword Douluo floated in midair as he spoke. Nine Soul Rings appeared around him, and the Seven Kill Sword in his hand was ready for battle.

Yet a grave look flashed across his face. Strange—why were two of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo here?

Could someone have leaked the secret?

Had Little Chen's existence been exposed, prompting Spirit Hall to send two Titled Douluo to eliminate him before he could grow?

But sending only two Titled Douluo seemed a little too dismissive of me. Do they really consider me that weak? Or do they have some backup plan? Still, to be safe, Little Chen should leave first.

Given his strength, and with this being the outskirts of Sunset Forest, there should not be any problem.

Opposite Sword Douluo stood two Titled Douluo who appeared to be over eighty years old.

One of the old men stood over two meters tall. His lean, elongated body was as straight and sharp as a standard pole. After releasing his Martial Soul, a Snake Lance appeared in his hand.

It was nearly four meters long, its spearhead curved, its sharp tip forked like a snake's tongue. Its entire body was blue-purple, and nine Soul Rings rose around him—two yellow, two purple, and five black.

The other was of average height and build. After releasing his Martial Soul, his body expanded like a balloon, countless purple spikes bursting forth to cover his surface as his entire body was enveloped in purple.

These were Spirit Hall's two great Titled Douluo—Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

The two exchanged glances, both puzzled and somewhat worried.

What was going on?

Wasn't the young lady's itinerary known only to a few people in Worship Hall? More precisely, even within Spirit Hall, very few people knew of her existence. Why was Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo here? Why had he appeared here? What was he doing here? Did he intend to kill the young lady and thwart the Heaven Dou Empire plan?

No matter what, the young lady's safety had to come first. Nothing could go wrong! Even if their opponent was Sword Douluo, the man known for possessing the Continent's number one attack power!

As the three faced off, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged another look, determination flashing through their eyes.

Strike first! "Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Seventh Soul Skill—Snake Lance True Body!"

The two Titled Douluo summoned their Martial Soul Avatars, and their auras surged.

Sword Douluo let out a breath. It seemed that a fight was unavoidable today.

Judging by the time, Little Chen should have already gotten out. But to be safe, he still needed to break away quickly and meet up with him.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Seven Kill True Body!" Sword Douluo transformed into a giant more than ten meters tall, wielding an enlarged Seven Kill Sword as he charged at the two Titled Douluo.

Even against two Titled Douluo, he felt no fear whatsoever. If anything, he was excited. He could not remember how long it had been since he last fought; his sword was nearly rusting.

A great battle between Titled Douluo unfolded in Sunset Forest, though it was clearly one filled with coincidence and irony.

If both sides had been able to sit down and talk properly, this would never have happened. Meanwhile, deep within Sunset Forest, Mu Chen continuously darted through the trees. The Soul Beasts he encountered along the way grew stronger and more numerous, but Mu Chen deliberately avoided them all.

Before long, Mu Chen heard a woman's voice and quickened his pace.

Leaping onto the top of a great tree, Mu Chen finally saw where the voice was coming from.

A golden figure was fighting a massive spider. Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings circled her, while a golden gown wrapped around her curvaceous body. Her long golden hair scattered freely with her movements.

Her willow-leaf brows arched elegantly, her skin was fair and delicate, and her nose stood high. Beneath an angelic face was an air of holiness and nobility. Three pairs of golden wings behind her flapped continuously, making her exceptionally agile as she evaded the giant spider's repeated attacks.

The golden longsword in her hand gleamed with golden light and traces of flame, leaving sword marks across the giant spider before her.

Unfortunately, compared to the enormous creature with a body more than two meters in diameter, those sword marks brought only pain and were far from lethal.

This black giant spider was no ordinary creature either. Its body exceeded two meters in diameter, while its eight long spider legs stretched beyond four meters. Its entire body was covered in black armor.

During its battle with Qian Renxue, Mu Chen noticed white markings on the spider's abdomen. Those markings formed a savage human face, while eight small eyes glowing with faint purple light were located on its lower abdomen. That human face was already quite distinct, with fully formed human features.

Mu Chen could even sense a trace of excitement from it. Without a doubt, this was the Man Faced Demon Spider known as the "evil slaughterer"—the nightmare of small Soul Beasts and the object of hatred for all Soul Beasts.

"Four Soul Rings. Qian Renxue is currently a Soul Ancestor, while this Man Faced Demon Spider's body exceeds two meters, meaning its cultivation is over twelve thousand years.

Generally speaking, only a Soul King can contend with a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. As an evil and powerful Soul Beast, once a Man Faced Demon Spider reaches twelve thousand years, even an ordinary Soul Emperor would not dare guarantee that they could take it down.

As expected of the owner of a god-level Martial Soul. She is only a high-level Soul Ancestor, yet she can already fight a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, Qian Renxue~" Mu Chen thought to himself as he watched the scene before him.

Qian Renxue's first yellow Soul Ring remained lit, and golden light shone from her left fist. Her unique Angel Soul Power could suppress and dissolve her opponent's strength.

First Soul Skill—Angel Assault! A close-combat Soul Skill!

Qian Renxue dodged another strike from the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs and punched its main body. The immense force sent the Man Faced Demon Spider staggering back more than ten steps.

But the next second, the Man Faced Demon Spider spat out a giant web. It carried an intensely pungent stench and disgusting mucus that dripped onto the ground with sizzling sounds, clearly containing terrifying poison.

Qian Renxue reacted quickly. Her wings flapped behind her, and her third purple Soul Ring lit up.

"Third Soul Skill—Angel's Sacred Slash!"

A golden sword radiance slashed forth, carrying the power of flames. Yet it did not directly cut through the giant web, which spanned several meters in diameter, only slowing it down.

However, Qian Renxue had already risen into the air, so the huge spider web failed to affect her.

"Elders, help me take down this Man Faced Demon Spider!" Qian Renxue's clear voice rang out, but she received no reply.

Feeling something was wrong, Qian Renxue swept her gaze around and discovered that the two elders responsible for protecting her had vanished.

Her beautiful face darkened somewhat, because the Man Faced Demon Spider before her was still growing stronger, its body expanding once more. This was the survival skill of a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider—Spider God Possession!
