Chapter 5908 Devouring Master
“What is that?!”
Liu Rujiao and the others felt chills crawl down their spines when they saw the golden spider. It was very similar to the Lightning Blaze Spider, which meant they were related.
But this golden spider... its aura was on an entirely different level. Not only was it vastly superior in power, but its very presence radiated a terrifying quality that the Lightning Blaze Spider lacked.
“That is the Lightning Blaze Spider King,” said Liu Xihua. “Its thunderforce is countless times stronger. Moreover, its defenses are far greater, and it even possesses metal energy. That metal energy can fuse with its flame element, unlike the regular Lightning Blaze Spider, which only has thunderforce and a tough hide. Only the Spider King can wield metal flame energy.”
“It is countless times stronger?” Liu Minghao gulped.
“Then isn’t boss Long Chen in danger?” asked Liu Rujiao.
“Stop panicking. Just look at Long Chen—is he the slightest bit worried? He’s practically drooling,” snapped Liu Ruyan.
While they were stunned by the spider’s terrifying aura, they failed to notice Long Chen’s expression.
“Aiya, I knew you had something good on you! You really didn’t disappoint me!” exclaimed Long Chen.
Long Chen’s eyes lit up with delight. As he gazed at the golden body of the Lightning Blaze Spider King, he looked as if he wanted to rush over and give it a loving pat.
Even the experts from the Devil Eye Water Lily race were astonished. None of them had ever seen such a terrifying creature.
As for Qifeng, his eyes burned with envy. Only he understood how truly monstrous a Lightning Blaze Spider King was.
But he also knew one thing for certain—there was no way Yuanshan had subdued this beast on his own. Someone had helped him, and it could only have been Lian Sanqiang.
Sure enough, when he glanced at Lian Sanqiang, he saw the man grinning sinisterly, clearly pleased by the shock on Liu Xihua and the others’ faces.
“Long Chen, do you have any final words?” asked Yuanshan.
Yuanshan stood proudly atop the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s head, like a sovereign upon his golden throne, looking down on Long Chen with icy killing intent.
But Long Chen didn’t respond. His eyes remained fixed on the Spider King, as if lost in thought.
Seeing this, Yuanshan smirked. He believed Long Chen was frozen in fear. That was exactly the reaction he wanted to see.
“My Lightning Blaze Spider King will show its power to you bit by bit so you can understand what true despair is.”
Yuanshan formed hand seals, and a golden rune appeared on the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s head.
Crunch.
The spider’s eight legs pierced into the martial stage like it was soft tofu. Golden runes spread out, enveloping the ground, and Long Chen’s figure vanished.
A split second later, a golden stinger ripped through the space where he had stood.
That sudden attack made everyone’s heart jump. If Long Chen had been even a moment slower, he would’ve been skewered.
But just as he dodged, the second stinger shot out from beneath him—and then another, and another. The stingers burst from the ground like lightning, pursuing him no matter where he went.
Long Chen moved like a phantom, always a hair's breadth from death. But no matter how he dodged, a new stinger would pop out from beneath his feet.
The piercing hum of space being torn by those stingers sent shivers down everyone’s spines. They could even see energy streaks tearing through the sky above.
Yuanshan looked exhilarated. Watching Long Chen dodge again and again filled him with twisted satisfaction.
However, Lian Sanqiang's expression suddenly changed. Something didn’t feel right. Long Chen looked like he was in danger, but his movements were just too calm—too deliberate.
And then Lian Sanqiang noticed the path Long Chen had been tracing.
“Stop playing and kill him!” Lian Sanqiang suddenly shouted.
Yuanshan frowned in annoyance. He didn’t want to end it so quickly, but he had no choice, so he changed his hand seals.
But it was too late.
BOOM!
Violet chains exploded out of the void, weaving together into a massive net that bound the Lightning Blaze Spider King.
“What?!”
Startled cries rang out. No one had expected Long Chen to have such a technique.
A sharp light flashed through Liu Xihua’s eyes. But before she could say anything, Liu Minghao exclaimed, “From the very first dodge, Boss Long Chen was already setting this up! He used his bloodline power to leave traces in the void with every step! The whole time, he was laying the groundwork!”
“How did he do this?” asked Liu Rujiao.
Liu Rujiao could not make her jaw close. From the very first attack, he had started setting this trap up? Did that not mean that the opponent’s thoughts and attacks were well within his control?
The violet chains tightened, wrapping around the Lightning Blaze Spider King. Yuanshan’s face paled. He tried to command it to break free, but—
Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of him and stomped a foot toward his face.
Yuanshan didn’t have time to make hand seals, so he crossed his arms to block. However, Long Chen’s kick sent him flying off the spider’s back.
Long Chen smiled wickedly.
At this moment, the Lightning Blaze Spider King shone brightly, and the violet chains binding it started to explode one after another. They couldn’t bind it for long.
But Long Chen didn’t hesitate. He formed a dozen quick seals, and a single drop of violet blood emerged from his fingertip—not dragon blood, but his innate violet blood.
Using his left hand, he swiftly drew an immortal character in the air. With a final stroke, the entire character suddenly began quivering, trying to escape his palm.
Long Chen slammed his palm onto the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s head. As the immortal rune sank into its head, Long Chen shouted, “Release!”
“Scram!”
Just then, Yuanshan came flying back with a black spear in his hand.
Long Chen snickered and vanished in a flash, leaping off the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s head just in time.
Just as he escaped, the Spider King trembled, its aura exploding to a whole new level. The last of the chains shattered like glass.
“You bastard! I’ll definitely—”
Yuanshan leaped back atop its head, preparing to strike. But before he could finish his sentence—
CRUNCH!
The Lightning Blaze Spider King suddenly flipped over and flung Yuanshan into the air. Its massive fangs sank into his body, blood spraying everywhere.
“It—it’s devouring its master?!”
The entire arena fell into stunned silence. No one had expected such a terrifying reversal.
