Chapter 250 · Spider Emperor, Asura God’s Hidden Hand

Although the Man-Faced Demon Spider itself was not too clear on how it had reached one hundred thousand years, it only remembered that after eating some blood-red thing, its strength had grown greatly. Then, after devouring several ninety-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, it became a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

But it cared a lot about its noble identity as a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

In its mind, since the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, could occupy the Lake of Life and become beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, then even if its strength was not as great as theirs, there should be no problem with it becoming third in the Star Dou Great Forest, right?

Even if there were other hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that it did not know about, it should at least be in the top five. And among the Man-Faced Demon Spider race, its cultivation should be unprecedented.

How could a "noble" king like itself suffer such humiliation?

Hearing the Man-Faced Demon Spider speak, Bai He was so frightened that his soul nearly flew out of his body. He no longer cared whether forcibly interrupting Bai Chenxiang's cultivation would cause her any problems. He released his Martial Soul True Body, grabbed his granddaughter, and prepared to scatter like frightened birds.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider looked at the panicked pair and showed a cruel smile.

It loved watching prey struggle like this, watching them panic and suffer.

Most of the Speed Clan Spirit Masters had been killed by it, and the few remaining Spirit Masters quickly flew away. But although the Man-Faced Demon Spider could not fly, it was still a Spirit Beast skilled in agility.

The boost from its hundred-thousand-year cultivation allowed it to flicker like a ghost, constantly killing the Speed Clan Spirit Masters who had not escaped in time. It pierced them onto its forelimbs like candied hawthorn sticks, making them let out miserable cries.

And it was at this moment, along with waves of twisting space, that an ordinary-looking young man appeared in front of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

Although it could not tell where the "human" in front of it had appeared from, out of confidence in its own strength, the Man-Faced Demon Spider still grinned fiercely and stretched out its forelimbs, stabbing toward the human before it.

"You overestimate yourself."

Yao Ling frowned slightly, and the space around him began to stretch.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider's forelimbs looked as if they were about to land on him, but in reality, the distance between them had been expanded without limit. No matter how the Man-Faced Demon Spider attacked, it could not pierce Yao Ling's body with its forelimbs.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider felt both shock and a trace of fear. It directly released its innate ability, and a huge purple spiderweb shot out from its body, trying to cover Yao Ling.

But Yao Ling only waved his hand, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider's giant web was shifted to the side.

"Who are you?" the Man-Faced Demon Spider cried out in terror. "I am a king of the Star Dou Forest! If you kill me, the Star Dou Forest will take revenge on you!"

"With your cultivation, you can't be called a king in my Star Dou Great Forest. And your existence has made the true master of this forest very angry."

Yao Ling spoke with disdain. Spatial power surged, trying to twist the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body and turn it straight into a pile of minced flesh.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider dodged by instinct. As a result, its incredibly hard shell was torn apart by something invisible, leaving behind a huge gash that kept oozing thick fluid.

Yao Ling's spatial power was strong and strange. It was not something an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast could compare with. But since the Man-Faced Demon Spider had reached one hundred thousand years, it was definitely not that easy to kill either.

The instincts it had formed after being hunted by all kinds of high-level Spirit Beasts over the years activated at this moment. Once it realized there was a very high chance it was not a match for the human in front of it, the Man-Faced Demon Spider immediately entered the mode of fleeing thousands of miles after one failed strike.

Yao Ling released spatial power to attack and tear apart the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body, but the Man-Faced Demon Spider relied on its special concealment ability and high-speed movement to constantly shift position and avoid his attacks.

In theory, space restrained speed, but moving spatial power was not that simple.

Yao Ling used spatial power as an attack method. In theory, it could even tear apart Bear Lord's body.

But locking onto an enemy and releasing that power required a short wind-up. The stronger the spatial power he moved, the longer that wind-up became.

If Yao Ling could release spatial power with no wind-up at all, then his cultivation and strength would not be at his current level. Even if he could not defeat Di Tian, he could still fight for the position of the third strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest.

One fled, one chased, and the one being chased had no way to escape.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was chased by Yao Ling in a miserable state and fled out of the Star Dou Forest. To avoid pursuit and restore itself, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had no choice but to follow that special scent toward Bai He and Bai Chenxiang.

And under the guidance of some unknown force, the direction Bai He was flying with Bai Chenxiang at this very moment was Suotuo City.

It was the direction of Shrek Academy.

Inside Tang San's mind, Asura God's divine thought sensed Bai He and the hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider gradually being drawn closer, and finally let out a breath of relief.

"A Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, plus a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone. This should strengthen this brat quite a bit."

"If this thing weren't so useless, with no creativity and no brains at all, would I need to spend this much effort?"

"If he had even a slightly better relationship with his fellow countryman, just a little something leaking through that guy's fingers would be enough for him to eat his fill. There would be many more ways to operate too."

"If nothing else worked, assassination would be enough. How did things fall to this point…"

"Tang Hao kills that Man-Faced Demon Spider and saves those two Spirit Masters. Then Tang San steps forward and obtains the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, absorbs the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, begins gathering the forces of the Clear Sky Sect, and then I guide him to Slaughter City…"

"That should stabilize things for this period of time. I just don't know what exactly happened on Sea God's side."

"Only the fusion of Asura God and one native god of the Douluo world can satisfy what I need. Sea God must not find a suitable successor. Otherwise, there won't be any suitable native god seats left in the Douluo world right now."

"But I shouldn't be that unlucky, right? Something like that shouldn't happen in such a short time, should it?"

Asura God felt that everything was under his control, but he overlooked one geographical issue.

As the granary of the Balak Kingdom, the area where Suotuo City was located was also a great plain. The other half of this plain belonged to the former Fasinuo Province, which was now the divided soul territory centered around Holy Soul City.

(There was also a record of this in Chapter 62 of the original story, Evil-Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai II.)

Strictly speaking, for high-level Spirit Masters, the distance between Suotuo City and Holy Soul City was not even a full day's travel.

The two places could be said to be very close.
