Chapter 121: Fierce Battle 6

Just then, a cold, detached voice rang in everyone’s ears.

"If you want to live, bring out your ultimate techniques. Otherwise, all that awaits you is—death!"

Exhausted as they were, the group could no longer remain calm at the thought of perishing without a final struggle. Furthermore, the presence of the Prince gave them a sense of reassurance, as if they had swallowed a stabilizing pill. Those who had previously felt utterly drained of the strength to resist immediately channeled their remaining spiritual energy for a final stand.

"Pfft—"
"Pfft—"

The two spiders had not expected these ten individuals to possess such formidable strength, capable of withstanding their gale-force winds. They were accustomed to their breath stirring up sand and stone; not only had these people managed to avoid being blown away, but they were even wielding their swords to fight back.

The fighting spirit of the two spiders was ignited!

In the Magical Beast Forest, they were arrogant and untouchable. Other magical beasts would obediently detour upon seeing them, and they reigned supreme for a hundred miles around. Whenever they encountered those who didn't fear death, they would kill them with a single blow!

After exhausting their wind-based techniques, the two spiders switched to fire-based attacks.

Situ Tengyi frowned. These two spiders were truly formidable; they were masters of both wind and fire! If he could tame them, it would be a massive gain, though they were so gargantuan and hideous that he found them entirely unappealing. He only wished to kill them and be done with it.

Huge fireballs, one after another, were spewed from the spiders' mouths. Within a radius of ten miles, flames instantly erupted.

Situ Tengyi’s ten avatars had reached the ninth level and possessed great strength. Under his command, they unleashed a combined lightning attack against the spiders. Among all elementalists, those of the lightning element were the most fearsome, as their offensive power was the most intense. However, it also depended on one's level. If they were of equal level, the spiders would not have survived a single strike from Situ Tengyi. Unfortunately, they were four levels higher than him!

"Thunderous Gale—"

The group shouted in unison, channeling the lightning! The two spiders, feeling immensely arrogant, excitedly spat out several more massive fireballs. In their eyes, these stupid and ugly humans were only fit to die.

"Rumble—"

Over a dozen lightning bolts struck down in rapid succession. The two spiders dodged with agility, but the ensuing intense hurricane, combined with the group’s desperate displays of skill, allowed them to escape the spiders' clutches. They were thrown to the ground, gasping for breath. The spiders were so enormous that to avoid the lightning, they had to make compromises, and the sudden hurricane worked in the group's favor. The spiders, however, only grew more interested in these ten individuals.

Situ Tengyi pressed his lips into a thin line. It seemed the two spiders hadn't even used ten percent of their power yet. If they were to unleash their full strength, everyone would be waiting for their demise.

"Since you've been targeted by these spiders, you're all dead if you don't get up and channel your energy for a final battle!"

The group had hoped the Prince would kill the spiders and lead them to safety, but he issued his ruthless command instead. Among this group, his words held more authority than an imperial decree. Even as they lay at death's door, they were forced to scramble up and circulate their energy to heal their wounds. They had already experienced the monstrous, vengeful nature of the spiders.

However, what brought them solace was that the Prince actually gave each of them a spiritual energy pill! It was a spiritual energy pill, and an eighth-grade one at that! They were ecstatic, feeling that the Prince was a truly benevolent man.

Pang Xiaoyu, who had been observing from the shadows for some time, finally flew to Situ Tengyi’s side. Seeing him, Situ Tengyi frowned. "Why are you here?"

Had he not ordered him to protect Luoluo?

Pang Xiaoyu smiled. "Situ, rest assured. I sent Xiao Yu to guard Miss Luo. Although she can be temperamental, she won't harm Miss Luo; otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a smooth journey thus far."
