Chapter 325: Chapter 263: Crisis of Life and Death

"How formidable!" Bashan Tiger and Yi Hailong muttered to themselves as they watched the Ghost Spider.

They felt an unprecedented pressure emanating from this monster, as if they were gazing upon a towering mountain, giving them a sense of an invincible presence.

The battle between Ghost Spider and Bai Su continued, the Sword Qi generated by their exchanges rampantly crisscrossing the area, leaving deep marks on the mountain rocks and the earth.

The sharp aura flashed by, stinging the cheeks of those who felt it.

A joyful smile appeared on Ghost Spider’s face. He had never felt so exhilarated, as if all the repressed emotions in his heart had been released.

Under this mindset, his attack frequency increased, and the power transmitted through his long sword grew stronger.

Bai Su clenched her teeth, relentlessly clashing with Ghost Spider. Her slender frame appeared particularly frail against the burly Ghost Spider, yet it also seemed exceptionally resilient.

"Clang!" The Treasured Swords sang again.

Their figures shifted positions once more, Bai Su holding the bizarre long sword as her wrist began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, at that moment, there was not a trace of fear in her eyes, only endless fighting spirit. It seemed as if her seemingly fragile body harbored infinite strength.

"She’s changed!" a masked Little Monster murmured to itself.

Its companion likewise said, "Yes, she has become a bit like an adult!"

Lin Fang too smiled and nodded at this sight. This was the great opportunity that came from life-and-death situations. In fact, the accumulation of Bai Su’s everyday practice was already sufficient. The only reason she hadn’t developed this unique temperament of a strong individual was that she had not truly faced a life-threatening crisis.

After all, although each Demon King in the small world was powerful, the sparring sessions could hardly let Bai Su feel the profound threat of death.

Now, with the assistance of Ghost Spider, Bai Su progressed from accumulation to breakthrough, taking that crucial step towards becoming a true powerhouse.

"Our battle has just begun!" Bai Su said solemnly, gently wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

In the process of fighting with Ghost Spider, she had sustained quite a bit of damage to her body.

"Haha, little girl, let me see your strength now!" Ghost Spider let out a hearty laugh filled with pleasure.

Black lines began to emerge on his face, carrying a strange aura.

The battle recommenced, and this time, Bai Su had undergone a significant transformation. Her sword moves became simpler, discarding some unnecessary actions, and as a result, their lethality increased substantially. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Oddly, their clashes no longer produced the previous crisscrossing Sword Qi, but any connoisseur could feel the danger within.

The two fighters could now perfectly control their Sword Qi. To avoid waste, they employed their Sword Qi only at the most critical moments, aiming to inflict the severest damage.

The two figures began to intertwine throughout the area, the sound of clashing Treasured Swords incessant. The sparks from their collisions were particularly noticeable, creating a different kind of beauty in the region.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of rounds had passed, and the two were evenly matched, unable to gain the upper hand over each other.

"Haha, that’s more like it, that’s more like it!" the Ghost Spider suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

Suddenly, a terrifying power erupted from his body, the intense strength shattering his upper garment and revealing his muscular torso, which now was adorned with black patterns. These slowly merged and formed a ghastly ghostly face on his skin.

The surging, overwhelming power began to envelop Ghost Spider, and his facial expression turned sinister.

"This is bad, the lord can’t suppress the power within him!" two Little Demons shouted in alarm and quickly backed away.

Lin Fang paid close attention to the power emanating from Ghost Spider. It seemed to be of a high rank, carrying the aura of death and slaughter, reminiscent of those Innate Spirits.

"My lord, it is said that the Ghost Spider race is descended from the blood of an Ancient Spirit after its death. Therefore, some Ghost Spiders that have cultivated to perfection can awaken this powerful force. Of course, this power comes with great drawbacks; because of the will of the Divine Spirits, it is easy to be consumed and become a monster that only knows slaughter," explained Wolf King softly, revealing the uniqueness of the Ghost Spider.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fang nodded slightly; indeed, the power within Ghost Spider was related to the Ancient Spirits. These terrifying beings truly didn’t cease their influence with death.

Now that Ghost Spider was enhanced by the power of a Divine Spirit, his behavior became more fierce, but his rationality hadn’t completely faded away. It seemed as if more eyes had appeared in his own, staring intensely at Bai Su and saying, "Next, I won’t be able to control my power. If you die here, don’t blame me!"

With that, he swung his sword, and a dreadful Sword Qi enveloped Heaven and Earth, attacking Bai Su. In response, Bai Su was not to be outdone and wielded her strange long sword, sending a sharp Sword Qi rushing forth.

The two Sword Qis collided mid-air, as if countless swords were clashing. Their piercing sharpness reached high above, instantly turning a flying bird in the sky into dust.

After the Sword Qi dissipated, the two figures reappeared. Bai Su was kneeling on one knee, supporting her body with her Treasured Sword, looking as if she had been fished out of a pool of blood.

She struggled to open her eyes, gazing straight into the face of Ghost Spider, and whispered softly, "You’ve won!"

"Why didn’t you dodge?" asked Ghost Spider in surprise. He had clearly felt that Bai Su could have avoided his attack, which would have left her looking disheveled but not in this state.

"My master said that to truly understand Sword Qi, one must experience it firsthand," Bai Su said, barely able to hold on.

She could already feel death closing in on her and murmured to herself, "So this is what death feels like, how fascinating!"

However, with Lin Fang and the others present, they would not let Bai Su die just like that. In a flash, Wolf King moved and Bai Su was already in front of Lin Fang.

Looking at the bloody, barely alive woman, Lin Fang shook his head with a smile, "You really are reckless!"

After speaking, he flicked his finger, and a green Elixir flew into Bai Su’s mouth. In an instant, her pale face, from excessive blood loss, began to regain its rosy color.

Ghost Spider could feel the woman’s vitality rapidly returning. Such a miraculous elixir only existed in legends; he hadn’t expected to see one here.

And just a moment ago, when the Wolf Demon acted, he had felt like he might not be able to withstand it. Although he had already highly regarded these people, it now seemed he had still underestimated them.

"Who exactly are you people?" Ghost Spider asked with curiosity.
