Chapter 6: The Eruption of Blue Light
To be honest, Zhou Tong's talent is indeed remarkable, but its weaknesses are also quite evident.
One cannot help but notice the situation in the enclosed room; another flaw is that with such a talent, Zhou Tong's senses must be extraordinarily acute, possibly tenfold or even dozens of times more than an ordinary person's.
As a result, he cannot endure experiences that are too fast or too powerful.
For instance, right now, Lian Yun's speed could be considered typical for a Second-Rank Monarch, and the air vibrations caused by his movements feel to Zhou Tong like a sharp blade piercing straight into his heart!
This might very well be the reason why Zhou Tong chose to leave the city and come to Fengdu to accumulate his foundation.
After all, while the Evil Spirits in Fengdu are formidable, their strength is limited unless a king or a Monarch appears. However, within the city, it is a different story; the impacts of cars and large machinery are like heavy assaults against Zhou Tong—attacks he cannot withstand.
Yet this also explains why Zhou Tong's mind is so deep and his self-discipline so high. Without these two abilities, he would not have been able to grow at all, let alone survive until now.
Despite being startled by Lian Yun's speed, Zhou Tong quickly gathered his focus and exercised self-restraint, no longer trying to sense the incoming movements.
Chen Tao and the others were also shocked; after all, they understood Zhou Tong's abilities very well and knew the reason behind his distress. However, they remained calm and silent.
They all knew that during Zhou Tong's moment of vulnerability, even their voices would be a form of harm to him.
Meanwhile, on Lian Yun's side!
He did not think about Zhou Tong's troubles at all; instead, he continued to retreat.
For Lian Yun, although the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider was fast, he felt completely at ease. The only trouble was that without using spiritual power, it was difficult to inflict damage on it.
Spirits are intangible to humans; ordinary weapons cannot harm them. Meanwhile, Evil Spirits are like Magnetorheological Fluid integrated throughout their bodies—massive beasts with defensive capabilities that are nearly impenetrable.
For the Armed Ghost Hunter, it was also an exceptionally fierce beast. However, this was contingent upon having sufficient Spiritual Energy; once that energy was depleted, it became a nightmarish existence.
Thus, without utilizing spiritual power, even though Lian Yun's speed and strength far surpassed that of the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider, killing it was not an easy task.
After retreating several hundred meters to an intersection of sewers, Lian Yun threw out two Glow Sticks, embedding them into the walls on either side. Upon reaching the other side, he turned to attack.
With Wu Tai in hand, he swung his sword toward one of the spider's attacking legs.
Boom~~
A loud crash echoed, shaking loose dust and debris from the surrounding walls. However, Lian Yun felt unusually perplexed because it seemed as if he had struck a sponge; all his force appeared to be absorbed.
Nevertheless, the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider suddenly tilted its body, clearly having taken Lian Yun's attack!
As it landed, its grotesque face contorted in rage. All its legs pushed off the ground as it leaped toward Lian Yun, moving more than twice as fast as when it had pursued him earlier.
In this open space, it seemed to have the advantage.
Although Lian Yun was unafraid, he quickly dodged out of instinct, fearing the spider's venomous spray!
Some adult tarantulas possess venom capable of killing a person, and considering the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider belonged to the Evil Spirit category, Lian Yun did not wish to test how potent its venom could be—at least not through personal experience.
The Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider's attacks came swiftly, so much so that before Lian Yun even landed, he had to face its long fangs and several legs.
However, Lian Yun remained calm. With his legs stepping lightly in Ling Kong style, it felt as if he was treading on air. Instead of retreating, he moved closer to the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider; this time he aimed to slash rather than strike!
Bang~~~
Another loud crash resounded as the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider twisted its legs and slammed into the opposite side.
Dust and mist swirled around, and the walls trembled as massive stones fell, creating an overwhelming sense that this place was about to collapse.
Lian Yun did not know how humans attacked Evil Spirits before the Spirit rampaged, but he felt that this time he had truly struck hard.
However, upon seeing the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider break through the dust and mist, all its legs intact and attacking, Lian Yun felt somewhat speechless.
An attack without spiritual power seemed to grant the Evil Spirit an almost infinite regenerative ability.
Though a bit helpless, Lian Yun did not dare to be careless. He stepped on falling rocks in mid-air, using their momentum to dash toward the wall. He pulled out a Glow Stick and made a semicircular turn along the wall to the opposite side, where he took out another Glow Stick.
Due to his speed, the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider was just attacking the opposite wall at that moment, leaving its back turned to Lian Yun.
Suddenly inspired, Lian Yun stomped against the wall, shattering it as he rushed toward the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider at high speed.
Lian Yun knew that the spider had four eyes on its back; naturally, the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider was no exception. However, he believed that in this state, even if it had eyes on its back, it would not be able to react in time!
To his surprise, all of the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider's legs twisted around. Eight legs shot forward like long spears, thrusting toward Lian Yun.
Although taken aback, Lian Yun remained unfazed. Perhaps it was true that skilled individuals often acted boldly; he directly swung his sword at the tip of the nearest leg.
In this situation, if he merely bent one leg with his strike, Lian Yun would be drawn closer to the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider and would then be pierced by its other seven legs.
However, Lian Yun timed his strike perfectly; he swung down just as the leg extended to its maximum length, straight as a peak!
As a result, all of his force impacted the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider's body, pressing it against the wall. Due to Lian Yun's immense strength, its entire form began to sink into the wall while continuously descending.
In the end, it seemed as if the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider had hidden itself within a cave.
The surroundings shook violently, and Lian Yun decided to retreat, planning to lure the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider to another intersection for battle. However, under the illumination of the Glow Stick at his waist, Lian Yun noticed that the cave where the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider resided was emanating a deep blue light.
"Could it have been injured by its own attack?" Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lian Yun felt a familiar fluctuation; it was the change coming from the Box within him.
That was the transformation when the Box controlled and absorbed Purple Qi!
This unexpected change surprised Lian Yun. "Could it be that this deep blue light is somehow similar to Purple Qi, or has Purple Qi turned into this deep blue color under the Glow Stick's light? But how could this Evil Spirit possess Purple Qi?"
These questions flashed through Lian Yun's mind, but he didn't dwell on them. He waved his hand and absorbed all the deep blue light.
"Ah~~~"
For the first time, the Ghost-Faced Wolf Spider emitted a sound, resembling a human wail. The tone was extremely mournful and sharp.
Upon hearing it, even those who were not afraid would feel an unnatural chill run down their spine.
