Chapter 425: One Sword Shocking All!

Golden crystals were crusted on all sides of the stone wall. The space behind the crack was as wide as a hundred feet, and spider webs criss-crossed the area.

"Be careful," Bei Feng said in a low voice as he looked at the figure on the huge spider web.

"He's dead; the cultivator from the Eight Extremes Sect."

Bei Feng's blood and Qi aura rose up but had not been released. The instant it was released, it would be like a landslide. As he looked at the spiderweb, Bei Feng could not help furrowing his brows.

The hair and beard of the old man on the web were dyed red with blood. A strange smile still lingered on his face, sending chills down the spines of everyone. A small hole about the size of a fist had appeared at the top of his head. His brains had disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go."

Bei Feng picked up the Eight Extremes Sect's old man's body and turned to leave.

As the group departed, everyone's faces were extremely solemn. It was hard to imagine what was so powerful as to render a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert helpless, dying without putting any signs of resistance.

Back at the main path, the other teams had also returned. Chi Song's body had been recovered as well. It was the same wound, and the same strange smile on his face.

One of the experts stepped forward, his palms filled with frost Qi. In an instant, the two dead bodies were sealed in ice!

"Ka-cha!"

A sound like that of ice forming crackled out as the ice spread outwards. Finally, a giant coffin three meters wide was formed. Frost Qi flooded out of it constantly.

"Bai Xiang, Mystic One, stay closer to me," Bei Feng instructed in a cool voice.

The expert from the Eight Extremes Sect and Chi Song were the ones who died this time. If the mysterious thing targeted Bai Xiang and Mystic One next, there was no possibility that they would be able to survive.

The group's traveling speed increased; they moved together in a circle formation. The stronger experts were positioned in the outer ring, and everyone moved past the speed of sound. The explosive sonic booms sounded out behind them.

"Die!"

Bei Feng suddenly exploded with great force as Soaring Rainbow shot out of his body, hacking towards the back of a person's head.

Everyone was completely stunned. The flying sword's speed was simply too fast. Before anyone could react, it'd already slashed down at the expert from the Frost Arts Sect!

Time seemed to have stopped in that instant. It was impossible to describe the speed of that sword. A black light flashed through space, directly slashing down at the expert's head!

The shocking brilliance instantly slashed apart the expert's protective barrier. The flashy sword flew by like a flash of light, stabbing deeply into the passage wall behind, leaving a deep gash of unfathomable length!

"Huu! Huuuu!"

The Frost Arts Sect's expert had not been scared lightly. That strike just now had been so powerful as to leave one in ultimate despair. In that moment, he truly thought that he was dead for sure!

He could only stare at the sword with wide eyes as it flew right past his cheeks. Even though it had not actually hit him, just the air formed around the sword when it flew forward had been so sharp that just by grazing past him, a deep bloody gash had appeared on his face.

"What are you doing!?"

"Damn it! What the f*ck is this madness!?"

The other experts finally managed to react after a long moment. Everyone jumped to the side immediately and put up their defenses.

At this moment, everyone's nerves were taut and their vigilance was at its peak. Bei Feng's sword had simply been too quick. If it was them being caught unaware, nobody dared to say that they could escape without injury!

"This is the thing that was messing around?"

Bei Feng did not bother about the rage of the group. With a wave of his hand, a bowl-sized creature that'd been sliced in two halves floated towards Bei Feng.

"What is this thing?!"

"That's the thing that'd killed two Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!"

"I completely could not feel its presence at all! Even with my mental strength, it's as if this thing does not exists!"

The group of experts were no fools. When they saw Bei Feng's actions, everyone finally understood as they stared at the bowl-sized thing with shock.

This creature was similar to a spider, but it had wings on its back. Even though its entire body had been split in two halves, it seemed to still be illusory, like a shadow.

"Hollow Ghost Face Spider!"

The leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils paused for awhile and spat out a name with a solemn tone.

"What? How could this thing possibly still exist?"

"Aren't they extinct since long ago?"

The group of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts could not believe their ears. From the looks of it, the fame of this Hollow Ghost Face Spider was very big!

The leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils shook his head and said, "The Hollow Ghost Face Spider is an alien creature from another world. They are naturally very attuned to the spatial laws from birth. It is said that they can shuttle through space with ease, making them very tricky to track. Their control over spatial energy also meant that they are completely undetectable for any cultivators below the Void Gu realm. These spiders also have very powerful beguiling abilities and can invade a person's brain, living in them and controlling the body. Their favorite food are human brains. Back then, they were supposed to have been hunted to extinction. Who wold have thought that there were still some here!"

According to the ancient records, this creature had arrived in a meteorite several thousand years ago. At that time, it'd caused a huge disaster on earth.

In the end, all the Transcendent Lords came out together, and through a 10-year hunt, finally extinguished this cancerous species. Because of it, the number of dead cultivators throughout the world and country was countless.

"Fellow Daoist, we'll have to trouble you from here on out. We need your help to kill these Hollow Ghost Face Spiders the moment they appear!"

The leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils did not ask what method Bei Feng had used to discover these Hollow Ghost Face Spiders. He only clasped his fists and bowed heavily to Bei Feng.

"I'll try my best, but these things are too well hidden. Furthermore, they are as elusive as ghosts, coming and going without any sight nor sound. Even normal mental power scanning is helpless against them," Bei Feng said with a nod, not daring to make any guarantees.

The Hollow Ghost Face Spiders were well-hidden. If Bei Feng did not keep his mental power operating at the highest vigilance and discover the slightest clue of its appearance, he wouldn't have been able to discover it.

Bei Feng had directly attacked with his sword as soon as he discovered the clue of the Hollow Ghost Face Spider appearing. Unexpectedly, the spider was really there.

The Frost Arts Sect's cultivator also walked forward with a red face to thank Bei Feng. But when he saw Bei Feng, he still felt somewhat unnatural.

After all, the image of Bei Feng's face and the sword flying right at his head had left a really deep impression in his mind. It was enough to cause a lasting memory for him, linking the experience with the feeling of death. However, Bei Feng had indeed saved his life. In the end, after much hesitation, he still mustered up his courage to face Bei Feng and thanked him sincerely.

"Ji-ji!"

A light sound suddenly appeared in the middle of the group, causing everyone's faces to change drastically as they looked over at the direction where the sound came from.

The group jumped out of the way, leaving an old woman who stood alone calmly, leaning on her cane with an eerie smile on her face. Very lightly, she stretched out an aged and withered hand. From behind her hair, a tiny eight-winged golden silkworm only about the size of a thumb crawled out!

The eight-winged golden silkworm was nibbling on a Hollow Ghost Face Spider as it dropped onto the old woman's palm.

"Hur hur, good child."

A gentle smile appeared on the old woman's face as she took out a bottle of blood-red pills from her bosom and placed one before the golden silkworm.

The group was completely speechless as they watched the little silkworm swallow the pill. After that, it directly burrowed into the old woman's palm.

"Reckless thing! Actually daring to sneak an attack on this old woman."

The same creepy smile hung on the old woman's face, causing everyone to feel increasingly dreadful.

This old woman came from Miaojiang [1], and her cultivation was at the Xiantian realm only. However, her Gu poison techniques were extremely mystifying! [2]

Although the old woman's cultivation had only reached the Xiantian realm, she had lived for 300 over years!

The reason for this was that this old woman had managed to raise an eight-winged golden silkworm that was comparable to a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert in abilities. This eight-winged golden silkworm had become the old woman's Life Gu Bug. One of its most miraculous abilities was that it could share half of its life force, giving it to the old woman!

The eight-winged golden silkworm's lifespan was very long. According to records, the longest living eight-winged golden silkworm had managed to live for over 1,200 years!

Of course, not every eight-winged golden silkworm could live for such a long time. But even so, half the lifespan of an eight-winged golden silkworm was basically no different from a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert. If their luck was good, they might live even longer than some Controlled Dan cultivators!

The only thing was that the two were bound together for good or ill.

No matter if it was the old woman who died, or the eight-winged golden silkworm who died, the other would follow in death!

Despite that, it was already an exceptionally impressive feat to have such a long lifespan with just the cultivation of the Xiantian realm.
