Chapter 1230 You're Too Slow
Li Yuan didn't answer, but just stared at the other person quietly, her eyes empty, yet seemingly burning with some kind of flame.
He slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, and a faint yet increasingly violent fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from his body...
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's expression changed slightly: "Trying to self-destruct? Kid, do you think you'll make it in time against me?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred, turning into a dark red afterimage that rushed straight towards Li Yuan.
At the same time, his five fingers formed claws, and the spider silk burning with flames in his hands shot out quickly, aiming directly at Li Yuan's dantian.
However, just as he approached Li Yuan within three feet, and the spider silk on his fingertips was about to touch Li Yuan's robe, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a frenzied light of annihilation erupted from Li Yuan's empty eyes.
Instead of dodging or blocking, he suddenly opened his arms wide.
The violent spiritual energy that had been initially activated within the body suddenly reversed, compressed, and rushed toward the core of the dantian at a speed a hundred times faster!
"Let's die together!"
He growled, his voice hoarse and broken, filled with endless hatred.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's pupils constricted sharply; he truly hadn't expected this Hundred Flower Clan youth to be so resolute.
"Madman!" he could only mutter under his breath, filled with shock and anger.
They wanted to change tactics and retreat, but it was too late.
At such close range, with such madness and determination, and without leaving himself any room for regret, even if he could severely injure the opponent, he would inevitably be caught in the center of the self-destruction, and would be seriously injured even if he didn't die!
He doesn't want to die.
I have no desire to be buried with the mere remnants of the Hundred Flowers Clan!
In the blink of an eye, the Flame Spider Clan cultivator could only concentrate all his spiritual power into his two foremost legs, crossing them in front of him to protect himself. The dark red flames instantly expanded, transforming into a flame shield in an attempt to withstand the impending destructive impact.
Li Yuan saw it.
I wasn't disappointed.
That's all he can do.
A faint, almost relieved, smile crept across his face.
"At least, you did something, right?"
Although he was useless.
No one can save it.
But at least... in times like these, we can still lend them a final helping hand.
The violent fluctuations of spiritual energy reached their peak, and dazzling light burst forth from Li Yuan's body.
However, the next moment——
A fair and delicate hand suddenly reached out from the side and casually patted Li Yuan on the back of the head.
"Snapped."
A soft sound.
It wasn't particularly loud, but it carried a powerful and domineering force.
Li Yuan felt a numbness in the back of her head, and was knocked back several steps to the side.
The incoming spider silk just missed its target.
The violent, surging spiritual energy within him, which was almost tearing his soul and body apart, was suddenly grasped and smoothed by an invisible hand, and then... forcefully pushed back to its original trajectory.
Everything came to a sudden stop.
Opposite Li Yuan, the Flame Spider Clan cultivators who were already prepared were also stunned.
He looked at the suddenly appearing hand and its owner with surprise and uncertainty.
She was a young girl in a blue dress.
She appeared behind Li Yuan without her noticing.
It's like it appeared out of nowhere.
She seemed to be chewing something, her cheeks slightly puffed out.
At this moment, she was slowly withdrawing her hand from the back of Li Yuan's head, and casually wiping it on the fabric of Li Yuan's shoulder—as if she had just touched something unclean.
Then, she raised her eyes and looked at the bewildered and wary Flame Spider Clan cultivator opposite her.
She glanced again at Li Yuan, who had turned around and was staring wide-eyed, frozen in place.
Ning Ruan sighed, her tone carrying an obvious hint of disdain:
Why not look at the transmission talisman?
"Isn't this place very close to the Eternal Realm? Why don't we run towards the Eternal Realm?"
"You keep self-destructing all the time. You'd rather die and be done with it. What about the promise you made to get me more Hundred Flower Soul Essence?"
"Ok?"
Li Yuan: "..."
Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
The air was suddenly quiet.
Three questions in a row left Li Yuan completely bewildered.
After a long while, he finally regained some of his senses from his dazed state. "Um... benefactor, what brings you here?"
The Flame Spider Clan cultivators also realized what was happening.
The appearance of the Flame Clan is somewhat similar to that of ordinary spiders.
For example, several legs...
But his upper body and head were no different from those of a human.
His face was covered with unusual patterns, making him look strange.
At this moment, he was staring intently at Ning Ruan. After scanning her with his divine sense and confirming that she seemed to be only at the high-level of the ninth realm, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Flame Spider Clan!"
Ning Ruan seemed not to hear his question, her gaze remaining fixed on Li Yuan.
The tone became even more disdainful:
"Also, you're too slow at self-destructing."
"At such a slow speed, who can they possibly kill?"
Li Yuan, who thought she was certain she could kill the Flame Spider Clan cultivator: "..."
And...the Flame Spider Clan cultivator who felt he truly couldn't avoid it: "..."
So, is this a roundabout way of mocking him?
"You fool! I don't care who you are, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator roared, unleashing the full force of his thirteenth realm aura.
Spider silk, like threads of fire, shot out rapidly from his hand.
The only difference is that the target has changed from Li Yuan to Ning Ruan.
The latter tilted his head slightly.
Finally, Ken turned his attention to him.
Ning Ruan narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly uttered a few words, "You're slow too!"
The words fell.
She slapped Li Yuan away.
He was pushed so hard that he flew backwards quite a distance.
"..."
Having felt that terrifying power again, he gained a clear and accurate understanding of his benefactor, who appeared to be only at the ninth level of cultivation.
My benefactor... seems to be really strong!
Terribly strong!
The powerful Ning Ruan vanished the moment she pushed Li Yuan away.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's seemingly inevitable attack missed once again.
"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, do you think you can escape?"
Although it was mockery and provocation.
However, the Flame Spider Clan cultivator was clearly tense all over.
He glanced around warily.
He was not as relaxed as he claimed.
They even felt unusually uneasy.
This is no ordinary hiding technique.
Otherwise, how could he not sense even the slightest fluctuation?
"Hide? Who said I was going to hide?"
A calm female voice suddenly rang out very close behind the Flame Spider Clan cultivator, almost touching his ear.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's hair stood on end. Without thinking, he leaned forward abruptly, and at the same time, a spider leg covered in a hard carapace and barbs, like a scorpion's tail, stabbed fiercely towards the source of the sound behind him with lightning speed!
This strike contained all his strength in his shock and anger, and even a cultivator of the same level would find it difficult to withstand in such a hasty manner.
However, his swift and ruthless counterattack still struck only thin air.
There was no one in sight behind him.
It was as if everything I had heard before was an illusion.
"I gave you two chances, but you missed both times."
The girl's calm voice rang out again, this time, but directly in front of him...
