Chapter 78 Fighting Poison with Poison
"boom!"
The fragile wooden walls could not withstand the fierce bombardment of the top-grade magic weapon. With a loud bang, wood chips flew everywhere, and the cargo hold was as fragile as paper, with a large hole more than ten feet long and wide being torn out by the vortex blade wheel!
Chen Ye didn't consider how much damage this would cause to the demon-catching ship. Bringing this ship along would greatly affect the speed of the Mo Jiao. Rather than being caught by the Zhou family, it would be better to sink it directly!
Since the ship wasn't his anyway, Chen Ye didn't care at all even if it was worth more than ten thousand spirit stones.
"Boom boom boom!"
With the vortex blade wheel fully activated, the destructive power it caused was astonishing. In just a few breaths, it cut the entire cabin into countless holes.
"Damn it, Black Claw, kill him!"
Just as Chen Ye was controlling the vortex blade wheel to continue causing destruction, a furious shout suddenly came from inside the cargo hold. Immediately afterwards, a scorpion tail as thick as an arm, covered with dark scales and with a sharp poison hook at the front, suddenly shot out from the cargo hold and stabbed straight at Chen Ye's face!
"A spirit pet?"
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly used his movement technique to dodge. However, the scorpion's tail seemed to have eyes, and it nimbly turned in the air, turning into a blur and stabbing at Chen Ye again.
Chen Ye decisively drew his Crimson Dragon Sword and slashed down at the scorpion tail that was thrusting into him from the air!
Clang~~
However, the hardness of the scorpion's tail exceeded Chen Ye's expectations. The sword blade, which could easily cut through metal and stone, could only leave a shallow white mark on the scales.
However, Chen Ye's attack methods far surpass those of his peers, and his defensive methods are by no means inferior!
He quickly summoned two high-grade magic shields to protect himself, activated the Golden Light Technique with his spiritual power, and then slapped two Golden Body Talismans onto his body.
"Sizzle~~"
As soon as the venomous hook at the tip of the scorpion's tail pierced the magic shield, it immediately emitted a large cloud of black mist, just like a red-hot steel needle piercing into tofu, leaving a hole the size of a pinhole in the magic shield in an instant!
"Sizzle!"
The scorpion's tail remained powerful and continued to thrust forward. The second defensive magic shield was broken, and the two golden talismans only slowed down the speed of the poison hook. Finally, just as it was about to pierce Chen Ye's protective golden light, the scorpion's tail ran out of power and could not move forward even half an inch!
Chen Ye let out a long breath and his figure flashed backward to avoid the attack range of the scorpion tail.
The poison hook isn't necessarily that sharp; its main strength lies in the venom that sprays from its venom sac, which seems to be particularly effective against defensive magical artifacts.
"Haha! Black Claw, well done!"
"Squeak~~"
As a foul stench wafted over, a bizarre monster, the size of an adult water buffalo, resembling a spider but with a long scorpion tail standing upright at its end, burst out of the cargo hold!
This spider demon was covered in palm-sized black scales that gleamed with a dark metallic sheen. Its eight limbs left deep pits in the thick wooden planks, and at the front of each limb was a pair of huge pincers. Two ferocious fangs protruded from its mouthparts, constantly dripping a sticky, foul-smelling liquid.
"Black-armored venomous spider?"
Chen Ye frowned when he saw the figure of the monster.
The Black Armored Poison Spider is a highly venomous Tier 1 demon beast. Its race lives only in the miasma-shrouded swamps and poisonous forests. However, these demon beasts are usually at the late Tier 1 level, and only the Spider King can be promoted to the peak Tier 1 demon beast!
The venomous spider before him, in terms of both its size and the aura it exuded, was clearly an outstanding member of its kind. If Chen Ye hadn't obtained the Bai family's Demon-Suppressing Technique, he might not have been able to recognize it.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, even knowing the origins of the Black Claw!"
A smug hum rang out, and Zhou Maolin, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the cargo hold.
His original plan was to ambush Chen Ye in the cargo hold, but who knew that the kid would be so cunning, relying on the advantage of the magic weapon to bombard the cargo hold. With no other choice, Zhou Maolin could only command his spirit pet to launch an attack in advance.
Fortunately, the spirit pet that his grandfather gave him when he broke through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm has been cultivated for nearly twenty years and has now advanced to the peak of the first tier of demonic beast!
With the Black Armored Poison Spider by his side, he was not afraid at all, even when facing a Spirit Condensation Perfection expert!
"Boy, I'll give you a chance. If you hand over the Twin Dragon Swords and tell me who killed Zhou Wanshan, I might let you die a quick death!"
Zhou Maolin glanced at the crimson longsword in Chen Ye's hand and naturally recognized its origin. However, he did not believe that this kid, with his cultivation at the seventh level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, could kill Zhou Wanshan, who was at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm!
"I killed that old bastard. If you want revenge, feel free to try."
Chen Ye chuckled, and a clear, melodious sword sound emanated from the Crimson Dragon Sword in his hand.
"Stubborn fool, Black Claw, attack!"
Zhou Maolin's face was cold as he directly gave commands to his spirit pet.
"Squeak!"
The black-armored venomous spider let out a piercing cry, its limbs supporting its massive body. With a nimble leap, it pounced fiercely towards Chen Ye's position!
At the same time, its scorpion tail, like a black spear, pierced the air and hurtled towards Chen Ye.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ye immediately activated the Flame Fiend Technique, channeling all the transformed Flame Fiend spiritual power into the sword. A surge of frenzied sword energy slashed out fiercely, striking down hard at the scorpion's tail that was thrusting towards him!
He hadn't used the Flame Fiend Technique earlier because the situation was unclear, but now that he knew the origin of this poisonous spider, Chen Ye wanted to see whether his Flame Fiend Technique was more poisonous, or whether the spider demon's tail hook was more poisonous.
The Black Armored Poison Spider's four eerie green eyes flashed, showing no intention of dodging the incoming sword energy.
Given its limited intelligence, Chen Ye couldn't break through its defenses before, and naturally he couldn't now either. However, the next moment!
Sizzle~~Crack!
A sword aura as fierce as flames swept across the scorpion's tail. The terrifying corrosive power of the fiery spiritual energy burned out large plumes of greenish-poisonous smoke on the extremely hard scales. As the sword blade slid and slashed rapidly, the arm-thick scorpion's tail was first cut open with a crack, and then the crack spread, severing the entire poisonous hook part by the root!
Once the poisonous hook breaks, the black-armored venomous spider's tail resembles a venomous snake with its head chopped off; the remaining tail trembles violently, spraying out large amounts of brownish-green, foul-smelling liquid.
It's not venom, but the bodily fluids of the black-armored tarantula.
Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, this thing looked extremely disgusting and emitted a nauseating fishy smell. Chen Ye turned his feet and used his movement technique to dodge it without getting a single bit of it on him.
"squeak!!"
A mournful cry rang out from the mouthparts of the black-armored venomous spider, and its massive body rolled to the ground, convulsing in pain.
"This...this is impossible!"
Zhou Maolin stared in disbelief at his injured spirit pet.
The Black Armored Poison Spider's defense was already extremely formidable. Over the years, it had been fed with gold-type ore, making its scales as hard as top-grade defensive magic weapons. How could its poisonous tail be severed by a single sword strike?
Moreover, and more importantly, this person had just killed so many Zhou family crew members and used the Vortex Blade Wheel, a magical artifact that consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, to bombard the cargo hold. Logically speaking, the spiritual energy in his body should have been nearly exhausted long ago, yet he was still able to unleash such a powerful attack!
Who exactly is this kid?
