"However, we don't have to fight to the death. Right now, there are two paths in front of you. One is to work together with us to kill this Demonic Spider, and as for the Sky Spirit Grass, that's up to you, whoever can snatch it will get their own way! "

"What about the second option?"

Shi Gang's face darkened. He knew that the situation today was not going to end well.

"The second way, is for us to work together to kill all of your Fire Worship Cult. After that, we will go deal with the demonic spider and snatch the Sky Spirit Grass."

"Looks like I can only choose the first choice!"

Shi Gang was truly worthy of being the Young Sect Master of the Fire Worship Cult. He judged the situation and quickly came up with the right decision. He was very clear that the alliance of these rogue cultivators could be very strong and weak. If he insisted on monopolizing the Sky Spirit Grass, then all the people from the Fire Worship Sect, including himself, would die here today.

But his choice of cooperation was different. After all, there was only one Sky Spirit Grass, and everyone would want to get it. When the time came for a free-for-all, with his Fire Worship Sect's strength, how could the Sky Spirit Grass be taken by these independent rogue cultivators?

"Good, straightforward!" A wise man knows his place, Young Sect Master Shi is truly a wise man! "

The square-faced scholar laughed, his eyes filled with pride.

Now that they had reached an agreement, the next step was to deal with the Demon Spider.

"Young master Shi, out of everyone here, only you, Fire Elder, knows a lot about the Mother Demon Spider. Since we're cooperating, we should be honest with each other. How about it, tell us in detail?"

The square face scholar's request was not excessive, and Shi Gang and the other disciples from the Fire Worshiper Sect did not know the exact details of the Demon Spider. Therefore, they nodded and said to Elder Flame: "Then Elder Flame, tell me, what ability does this Demonic Spider have, and how should we deal with it?"

"Yes sir!"

Elder Flame cupped his fist towards Shi Gang and said after clearing his throat, "The Mother Demon Spider is a very powerful fire-type demonic beast. It can only reach the Aurous Core stage, but due to its unique characteristics, it is basically invincible among its peers."

"Oh, what's so amazing about it?"

The enchanting voice of an enchanting woman rang out.

"The first is the spider silk. Although the mother demon spider was huge, it was different from ordinary demon spiders. It had three spiderweb emitting holes on its body, so it basically had an omnidirectional defense. Furthermore, its spider silk has a very strong corrosive property. Once entangled, apart from Heaven Spiritual Roots, no one else of the same cultivation level would be able to withstand it. "

Second, and also the most terrifying point is that if a person is entangled by spider silk and eaten by the demon spider, the demon spider can temporarily absorb the power of the devoured person and produce a small spider that can self-destruct. The power of each small spider's self-detonation is equivalent to the full power of a middle Foundation Establishment expert.

Truly powerful!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Yi's expression also slightly changed. It seems that this Demon Spider was truly difficult to deal with. No wonder Elder Flame's expression was so ugly before.

"Then we can't give it a chance to give birth to a little spider!"

A cold light flashed in Shi Gang's eyes, "All late stage Foundation Establishment and below cultivators, all ranged attacks, do not come close!" Elder Flame, I'll leave the matter of tying up the Mother Demon Spider to you three late stage Foundation Establishment experts. Do you two have any objections? "

"Naturally!"

The square-faced scholar and the enchanting woman nodded.

"Go on, be careful not to get tangled up!"

Elder Flame gave a low roar, and with a flip of his hands, a spirit blade appeared. On it surged waves of golden light, ruthlessly slashing towards the lower abdomen of the Demon Spider.

Originally, Elder Flame was an expert in fire magic, but the Demon Spider, as a fire type demonic beast, had a high resistance to fire magic. Therefore, Elder Flame had chosen a metal type magic.

"Attack its lower abdomen, that is its weakest spot! Don't use fire magic, the effects will be greatly reduced! "

A spiderweb shot towards Elder Flame. Helplessly, he had no choice but to give up his attack on the lower abdomen area of the Demon Spider Cupid and hacked towards the web.

The square-faced scholar and the enchanting woman's attacks had also failed. This allowed everyone to clearly feel that Elder Flame's comprehensive defense was indeed worthy of its name.

However, the attacks of the three were not completely ineffective. Due to the restraint of the three late Foundation Establishment experts, the Demon Spider could not overcome the cultivators behind it. This allowed the crowd to attack with ease.

For a time, besides fire-type spells, all kinds of spells and flying swords continuously flew towards the Demon Spider. Even though most of them hit the hard shell on its back, a few of the attacks still landed on its lower abdomen.

The injured Demon Spider looked even more berserk as it continuously spat out spider silk. In that moment, the pressure on the three of them greatly increased.

Finally, a hole appeared in the defense line of the three old men. A spiderweb shot out and struck an early Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator. In an instant, the rogue cultivator was tightly entangled.

"Ah!

The cultivator emitted waves of black smoke from his body and fell to the ground while screaming in pain. Just as everyone was about to cut off the spider silk, the Demon Nurturing Spider suddenly exerted its strength and pulled the cultivator into its open mouth.

Chewing sounds of broken bones and blood splattering made everyone's scalp tingle.

"Retreat, long-range attack!"

Elder Flame roared, and the spirit saber in his hand danced even faster.

As the chewing sounds stopped, a strange red light appeared on the body of the Demon Spider and rumbling sounds could be heard from its lower abdomen.

"Not good, the small spider is about to appear!"

Elder Flame's complexion changed. He quickly drew back and covered himself with a true essence barrier.

When the square-faced scholar and the enchanting woman saw Elder Flame's appearance, their expressions changed. Just as they wanted to retreat, there was a series of crackling sounds as a gash appeared on the lower abdomen of the Demon Spider and over ten small spiders the size of a fist shot out. They flew towards the three of them and collided with them in an instant.

As the flame scattered in all directions, Elder Flame was prepared. Although his true essence barrier had been broken by the explosion, his face was still a bit pale, and he didn't suffer too much damage.

The square-faced scholar and the enchanting woman were both in dire straits. Caught off guard, they exploded, causing them to spit out mouthfuls of blood. They were severely injured.

The situation suddenly turned grim. With the injuries of the square-faced scholar and the enchanting woman, the originally weak defense line became even more riddled with loopholes. From time to time, spider webs would shoot into the crowd.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared. Although people were shot from time to time, most of the people around were able to save them in time. The Demon Spider had not been given the chance to swallow them all.

Li Yi was originally mixed in the crowd and had been attacking for a while, planning to snatch the Sky Spirit Grass after he took care of the Mother Demon Spider.

However, who would have thought that the situation would suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse. If this went on, forget about getting rid of the demonic spider, who knows how many people would be killed by it!

No, I can't keep it hidden any longer.

In fact, Li Yi had discovered a flaw in the previous battle. Every time the Demon Spider was released, it would be weakened for a few seconds. However, everyone was busy dealing with the small spider's self-detonation, unable to seize the opportunity to attack.

However, this wasn't difficult for Li Yi. With the strength of his body, even if he didn't use his true essence protection, the small spider's self-detonation wouldn't be able to harm him.

Since he had made his decision, Li Yi no longer hid in the crowd, but slowly moved to the front.

"Ah!

Following the devouring of another cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage, the mother demon spider released another bunch of small spiders, and the entire stone room was once again enveloped by the fiery light of the explosion.

Now!

"Five Elements Golden Arrow Break!"

Carrying the two little spiders' explosions, Li Yi approached the lower abdomen area of the mother demon spider.

"Taiji Golden Sword, Heaven Shaking Secret Art!"

With a 'la la', Li Yi directly made a big hole in the lower abdomen of the Demon Spider, the power of the 'shock technique' seeped into its body. The weakened Demon Spider had no ability to resist at all, its internal organs were shattered, and with a loud wail, it died.

Li Yi grabbed the hard shell of the Demon Spider and flipped it over. He pulled out the Sky Spirit Grass out of the shell and kept it in his storage ring. Then, he turned around and quickly ran back into the crowd.

Everything happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. From the time Li Yi brazenly attacked to the time he killed the Mother Demon Spider, to when he collected the Sky Spirit Grasses and returned to the crowd, only two breaths had passed.

Everyone was busy dealing with the small spider's self-detonation. They did not even dare to release their spiritual sense outside of their bodies. Coupled with the fire and smoke covering them, they did not notice this scene.

Only the enchanting woman closest to the mother demon spider was able to clearly see the small spider being blocked by Li Yi's sudden charge. She was not disturbed in the slightest.

"The Mother Demon Spider is dead!"

"The Sky Spirit Grass is also gone!"

As the dust settled, everyone was surprised to discover that the previously ferocious Demon Spider had turned into a corpse. The Sky Spirit Grass under the protection of the Demon Spider had disappeared as well.

"Someone from the Fire Worship Cult must have taken it!"

A slightly deep voice suddenly sounded out from the crowd, causing everyone's gaze to gather on Elder Flame's body with a "whoosh".

The one who spoke was naturally Li Yi, but he was using venom, so no one noticed. The effect was very obvious, everyone turned their attention to Elder Flame.

Amongst the three late Foundation Establishment stage experts, only Elder Flame was not injured, and he was the closest to the Demon Spider. If anyone had the ability to kill the Demon Spider and steal the Sky Spirit Grass, then they would be Fire Elder.

"Bastard, hand over the Sky Spirit Grass!"

With an angry shout, the square-faced scholar controlled his flying sword and pierced towards Elder Flame.

"Protect Elder Flame and leave!"

Shi Gang also thought that it was Elder Flame who had obtained the Sky Spirit Grass, and upon seeing the square-faced scholar make a move, he also roared and joined the fray.

Elder Flame wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't do anything. The square-faced scholar didn't give him a chance to speak and continued to attack him, striking out with his true flame.

A chaotic battle broke out again!

"Sure enough, only in troubled waters can we fish. You guys can slowly fight me. I'll be leaving first!"

Li Yi, who had succeeded in his trick, laughed mischievously. Taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped out of the crowd and ran towards the second floor's entrance.
