The Wind and Thunder Saber and the Purple Smoke

In the Three Realms, the battles are fought over laws; in the world of beings like the Seven Spiders, the battles are fought over treasures.

If one item can't counter the opponent, switch to another; there are even magical Law Treasure that can completely counter them.

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and touched it, finding a five-colored stone, about the size of a Go stone, between his fingers.

The multicolored stones emitted faint glimmers of light, yet their weight differed significantly from their size.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't immediately understand the effect of this treasure. He looked at his body and casually stuffed the five-colored stone into a still relatively intact pocket at his waist.

"The Poison Widow caught the Five-Colored Divine Stone!"

"Our ancestor can't hold on much longer!"

"Offer the sword and slay this vixen!"

"Chieftain, don't act rashly!"

"Our ancestor is dying, and my son and your son will surely die too. What's the point of keeping this precious sword!"

Amidst the clamor and noise, Zhang Xuezhou's integrated Eight-Nine Mystical Art began to operate on its own.

Having encountered a cultivator who throws away whatever he shouts, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but believe that the other party would stab him next.

The commotion inside the Tiger Soul Hall continued, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but peek inside.

"She's coming! Hurry, the Poison Widow is about to sneak up!"

How did the Poison Widow turn into something that looks like a human being?

"It's so ugly!"

"Kill her!"

The four cultivators, Hu Kui, Hu Meng, Hu Yue, and Hu Teng, shouted repeatedly and called out from time to time.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that these cultivators were shouting and yelling, which was unbecoming of top-level cultivators. If these guys were fighting like this in the Three Realms, they would have been killed long ago. At most, they would only be at the level of Tiger Strength Demon King.

He compared the options, and only when a glint of steel flashed in his eyes did he sidestep.

"They didn't dodge!"

As his heart skipped a beat, Zhang Xuezhou saw the blade graz his body and fly away.

The killing technique locked onto his body, but the blade light was deflected by the power of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, only causing Zhang Xuezhou's body to be grazed. A crack appeared on his body as if cut by the blade light, and then quickly disappeared.

Purple arcs of electricity crackled across his body in an instant. Before Zhang Xuezhou could even utter a sound from the stinging pain, several screams echoed from within the Tiger Soul Hall, followed by a deafening rumble of collapse behind him.

The Tiger Soul Hall instantly cracked and began to collapse, and a snow-white sword, two meters long, fell down.

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and grabbed it, only to find that the knife was long and large, but unusually light, weighing less than ten pounds. Zhang Xuezhou could hardly feel its weight when he gripped it, and its nature was completely opposite to the five-colored divine stone he had encountered before.

"The ancestral Wind and Thunder Blade..."

The sound of annihilation came, only to be drowned out by the rumbling sound of collapse.

Zhang Xuezhou raised his head and saw a crack appear above him, with blue bricks and soil constantly falling down.

His eyelids twitched, and he swiftly slashed with his knife, the long blade aimed at the sewage channel behind him. Before he could even use his right hand to pry it open, the rough, sealed bluestone had already crumbled into dust amidst a series of explosions.

The former sewage channel quickly came into view.

"Changkong, run! This place is about to collapse!"

Zhang Xuezhou called out to Changkong Luo Kongluo, who was eavesdropping behind him.

It was unlucky for Changkong Luo to be killed and turn into a tiger's accomplice, but at least he wasn't reduced to ashes by the Seven Spiders, which can be considered a different kind of luck. Especially since the opponent's hiding place was opposite to Bifeng's direction, he didn't suffer any harm.

Zhang Xuezhou also fled in this direction.

He called out repeatedly, but Changkong Luo, who had transformed into a tiger, could not respond, and Zhang Xuezhou did not care.

As they sped ahead, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but give Changkong Luo some more instructions.

"The Seven Spider's venom is deadly to anyone it touches. She has the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a spider; she's very recognizable. Stay far away from her whenever you see her, the farther the better. If your body can leave this place, you can come back to China with me..."

After muttering a few words, just as Zhang Xuezhou felt that Changkong Luo might not be able to keep up with his speed, he reached out and grabbed behind him.

Behind him, there was no longer any Changkong Luo. The red light of the Tiger Soul Palace flickered faintly in the distance, and finally disappeared like an extinguished flame.

"Grandpa Changkong?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed, then touched his body.

The searchlight shattered in the wind, and the divine weapon 'Thorn' remained stuck in the tiger's claws. Zhang Xuezhou held a knife in his right hand and took out the five-colored divine stone that had been smashed on the tiger's head earlier in his left.

The faint glimmer of light became the only source of illumination in the darkness.

The tremors and collapse continued, even spreading to the abandoned wastewater pipes. Zhang Xuezhou had only looked back a few dozen meters when he saw that the metal pipes above him were twisted and deformed, and dust and metal shavings were falling. Then the entire passage shook and stones fell.

"This knife is heavy, but how did it cause an earthquake?!"

The area behind them was already congested and difficult to pass. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't find Changkong Luo for a while, so he had to retreat quickly. He was also puzzled by the earthquake-like changes around him.

His body moved swiftly through the passage; he had entered and exited once before, and this was the third time he had left through this passage.

Zhang Xuezhou could navigate this route accurately simply by relying on instinct, without needing to distinguish it from other places.

His body flew backwards, watching the passageway constantly being squeezed, deformed, and on the verge of collapse.

The Tiger Soul Hall did not unleash any extraordinary power. The Wind and Thunder Blade did not slam the ground with a heavy blow, but merely cut down and caused an explosion in some areas of the ground.

Such destruction is unbearable for individuals, but it is insignificant to nature, like a drop in the ocean.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that losing even a single hair would cause the herd of cattle to start rolling around.

Cracks began to appear in the earth, and the squeezing and deforming sounds behind him turned into bursts of explosions and muffled falls. When he encountered some horizontal and winding passages, he even had to speed up his leaping away to avoid accidentally burying himself underground.

"I've retreated at least thirty miles, yet the shaking and collapse still haven't stopped. How did that place become the epicenter?"

The vibrations continued to propagate outwards and spread into the distance.

After traveling dozens of miles, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the collapse behind him showed no signs of stopping.

This means that a large-scale earthquake did indeed occur in Qin Meng's capital, and the tremors were still spreading outwards, making it difficult for him to dodge even with his extremely fast flying speed.

The familiar entrance appeared, and light followed.

Zhang Xuezhou's body shot out and then soared into the air.

In the distance, thick purple smoke billowed out like a volcanic eruption, and old, dilapidated high-rise buildings collapsed one after another.

Like countless explosives buried underground being ignited, the continuous booming sounds transmitted the vibrations in all directions.

"Run!"

Zhang Xuezhou forward, and as he flew rapidly closer, he heard the sharp mental shockwaves of the Seven Spiders ringing in his ears.

What's going on?

Sitting atop the ferocious spider beast, Seven Spiders was desperately trying to control the beast to escape, completely ignoring the various wounds inflicted by Bi Feng on both their bodies and the beast's.

"Poison, deadly poison!"

Seven Spiders turned to look at the purple smoke.

She had three bottles of Xuan Yin Heavy Water, which she kept as her most treasured possessions. In that area, the Xuan Yin Heavy Water had already turned into clouds and smoke and risen into the sky.

Seven Spiders was all too familiar with the Profound Yin Heavy Water, which was why she couldn't understand this phenomenon, let alone predict the consequences. All she knew was that she should escape as far away as possible.
