Chapter 488 – Back to the Wall (1/2)

It was just fish swimming through water. No matter how fast or nimble they were, they would always cause disturbances in the water.

However, Li Qingshan did not use these “disturbances” to deduce her location. Instead, he directly fused with the earth. When she split open the earth, he could grasp the trajectory of her movements with how the earth shifted. Naturally, his reactions became slightly faster.

His strength seems to have increased. My strength is already regarded as rather powerful among Daemon Commanders. That means he has indeed reached the realm of Daemon Commanders in a certain aspect. Is this all really because of his bloodline as a descendant?

The Spider Queen pulled her hand back, but it failed to budge, which left her slightly surprised.

One of the two major innate abilities that came with the fourth layer of the ox demon, the Strength of the Earth, had changed before he knew it.

If the thick earth only served as a powerful backing to him in the past, then he now seemed to have merged with it, with strength flowing through him at all times. It was as if he could continue fighting for eternity.

“Hmph, you want to engage in close combat with me? You’re digging your own grave!” The Spider Queen made use of the situation to advance boldly.

In that instant, Li Qingshan’s pupils became clear. The boundless sea in his pupils clearly reflected the Spider Queen’s figure. All he saw was an image of a slender, silvery-grey blur sweeping towards his waist like a battle-axe.

He could even estimate the power of this strike. His kidney would definitely become heavily injured.

Yet, the Spider Queen had only just begun lifting her leg.

Li Qingshan rejoiced slightly. The spirit turtle possessed the ability to divine the future and foresee danger.

However, after reaching the fourth layer of the spirit turtle, he had never come across any opponents that had forced him into such dire straits. As a result, this power had never been unleashed.

Only during this battle today did this feeling become clearer and clearer between the constant life-threatening danger.

Sure enough, people were made with pressure. Daemons were also made with pressure.

Speaking positively, the spirit turtle was obviously a divine beast that pursued good fortune and avoided disaster. Speaking negatively, it was just a coward, afraid of death and fleeing in the sight of danger, avoiding all threads of karma and taking on absolutely no risk at all.

Boom!

The Spider Queen’s foot landed on Li Qingshan’s hand!

The Ox Demon Butts its Horns!

Li Qingshan produced a crazy howl that resembled both an ox and a tiger. Using both hands, he forcefully dragged the Spider Queen over and lowered his head to butt her.

Boom!

The Spider Queen twisted her body. The free foot stamped viciously on Li Qingshan’s head, kicking off to free her arm and leg and using the force to fly off. The tremendous shockwave pushed aside all the soil beside them, creating a small cavern.

Li Qingshan’s head spun. Although the skull was the toughest part of him, he still experienced splitting pain after taking on a kick from her. He shook his head hard and laughed wildly. “Once I defeat you, I’ll fuck you again!”

“That’s quite arrogant of you!” the Spider Queen barked furiously, but she felt surprised inside.

What was going on? She clearly still possessed the upper hand. She had even landed a kick on him earlier, so why was he becoming even more arrogant and fearless? He did not behave like he had a thirty percent chance at victory, but rather that victory was already within his grasp. Did he have some sort of powerful trump card?

“An old brother of mine once told me that if I don’t even have the courage to say a few bold words, I might as well go back to farm work!”

Li Qingshan had no trump card at all. He only felt extremely delighted. He was fighting the terrifying Spider Queen underground, beyond the light of day. If he lost, then only death would await him. If he won, there would be quite an impressive reward.

Even if he could spend an entire life in the mountain village peacefully and happily, it would not be able to compare to the glory of this moment. He had cast the issue of death aside a long time ago. Right now, he was merely enjoying himself.

“You’re just bluffing!”

The Spider Queen sneered. Her silvery-grey body vanished and appeared before Li Qingshan. She raised her arms high into the air as eight shadows whistled over.

Every single part of her body—her hands, legs, knees, and elbows—could be unleashed as lethal weapons. Like a heavy storm, it landed on Li Qingshan. His head, chest, belly, and legs were basically attacked at the same time.

Li Qingshan lost his senses that came with the earth. Even if he could predict the Spider Queen’s movements, his reactions could not keep up with the Spider Queen’s responses.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous rumbles constantly erupted on Li Qingshan’s body. The force leaked into the surroundings. Just when the cavern began showing signs of collapse, it was immediately crushed and made even tougher.

The eight legs danced about as messy shadows, leaving behind wound after wound on Li Qingshan’s tough skin. In the blink of an eye, toxins ate away the wounds, turning them horrifically bone-deep.

A silvery-grey shadow circled around Li Qingshan, ripping off chunks of his flesh and devouring it. All Li Qingshan could do was barely guard his vital points.

However, his wild laughter had never stopped.
