Chapter 516 – The Bones Stand and the Tiger Lives (1/2)

He felt like his mind was being extended indefinitely, finally connecting with the territory he had tended to for a very long time.

His thought processes became vast and boundless with it. He was still trapped in the web, but his gaze towards Lolth seemed like he was looking down on her from above.

The river that Li Qingshan had blocked and oppressed the entire time seemed like it could not help itself any longer. It roared and surged with desire as it burst forth.

Li Qingshan’s vision emptied out and lit up, entering a mental state of intricacy. He pushed the Water God Seal and poured all of its power into a single point, which was the spirit turtle’s daemon core!

The daemon core suddenly accelerated, twisting and turning sharply. Powered by the surging water, it was like a whistling cannonball being fired from a cannon.

Lolth managed to grasp these changes with the innate ability of her eyes. She was not particularly surprised, as if she had been expecting everything.

However, as she watched the spirit turtle’s daemon core shoot over, she actually felt like she was unable to respond in time. All she could do was grip her whip and retreat rapidly. Even at a time like this, she did not forget to take Li Qingshan with her. As long as he left the region of water, he would be completely at her whim.

She raised her other hand to block the trajectory of the spirit turtle’s daemon core. She only needed to block it slightly, and it would provide her with the force to pull even further away.

By then, no matter what Li Qingshan was capable of as a water god, it would all be useless. She had countless different ways to kill an utterly-vulnerable opponent.

Lolth had truly responded to these changes quickly. Just the thought process alone demonstrated she had completely recovered her powerful instincts as a hunter.

However, none of this was destined to develop like what she had been expecting.

First of all, she had underestimated the power behind the daemon core.

Like how dripping water could wear through rock, the spirit turtle’s daemon core was like a droplet of water, but behind it was the water from boundless rivers and lakes. All of their power had been concentrated on this droplet of water.

The moment it struck her hand, it paused slightly before passing right through, striking her in the chest.

Disbelief filled Lolth’s eyes. The black tight suit over her chest ripped apart as her silvery-grey skin caved in deeply. Blood spattered.

Boom!

Lolth was thrown far away like a kicked ball.

Cling! Clang! Clung! Clang!

The spider threads that criss-crossed through the cavern snapped like zither strings as she smashed through them.

Li Qingshan found it to be quite the pity. If he had managed to directly strike her body, he definitely would have caused quite the damage, or even pierce her all the way through. However, piercing through her hand was equivalent to piercing two layers of the poison suit. Another layer still remained when it struck her chest in the end. The attack had been worn down layer by layer, minimising her injuries.

The daemon core bounced back, and Li Qingshan swallowed it conveniently, but he discovered the daemon core had also been contaminated with a layer of black venom. However, with a flash, the toxins had been purged. Her venom could eat away the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell, but it was not particularly effective against the spirit turtle’s daemon core.

Li Qingshan had still been pulled along by the poisonous whip, so he was obviously dragged into Cobweb city against his will. Looking around, he discovered he was in her chambers. The large, obsidian bed draped with curtains was nearby.

Li Qingshan sniggered. “Mother of my child, you can say we’re revisiting this old place.”

Lolth straightened herself out. The tight suit over her chest constantly twisted and tangled in an attempt to repair itself, but clearly, it would not be so simple. After quite a long time, it had only pulled together barely. It struggled to hide her voluptuous chest.

All human emotions ceased to exist in her eyes. Her pupils had constricted to points that resembled the tips of needles as she stared at Li Qingshan closely. Then she asked in a hoarse voice that sounded like dragging nails across a chalkboard.

“How are you still alive?” The venom she had injected him with was enough to slaughter a hundred cities, yet he was still able to laugh.

“Haha, I still want to witness the birth of our child!”

Under the layers and layers of webbing, Li Qingshan had already gripped the Blade of the Drinking Poisonfeather. He had plunged the hilt shaped like a Poisonfeather bird’s beak into the whip, sucking away the poison.

However, after absorbing the venom, even the blade itself turned back. The spiritual qi and inscriptions it had been imbued with was rapidly eaten away, following the footsteps of the Dragon Seizing bident, but it did temporarily deal with the urgent issue Li Qingshan was facing.

Lolth sensed that something was wrong and drew back the whip. She discovered a part of the whip had already recovered the translucent white of normal spider silk, which made her frown. Who knew how much effort and time went into refining every drop of venom. She originally thought that casually unleashing it on him would make him suffer, but she never expected him to be so difficult to deal with.

“Listen. This place is almost going to be flooded with water. If you have any killing moves, you better use them quickly, or I’m going to come for you.”

At this moment, the sound of surging waves rolled over from all directions. The river rampaged and poured into the huge cavern where Cobweb city resided. Hissing white steam rose up the moment it made contact with the magma.

Lolth suddenly straightened out her whip with a flick and made a move that Li Qingshan was extremely familiar with, targeting his head.

“I’ll send you off to see the king of hell right now!”
