Divine King of Honour

Shasha!

The sound of trees stirred by some force echoed through the canyon.

Beside him, Lord Medicine King and Feng Tianshan both paused, turning their gazes towards the depths of the gorge.

A bad premonition settled in their hearts.

"Shasha!"

Another rush of noise as trees were jostled, growing more and more hurried.

At times, the sound of snapping branches would mingle with the rustling.

"No good, it's the Iron Blood Demon Spider!"

The Feng Family Patriarch was the first to react.

The Lord Medicine King's expression also darkened in an instant.

He couldn't understand why the Iron Blood Demon Spider had suddenly rushed out of the canyon.

It was known that from the beginning till now, the spider had never left the outskirts of that part of the gorge.

Now, it had suddenly stormed out, and no one knew why.

Bu Keng and Hong Xiang were also full of surprise; they had not expected it to be the Iron Blood Demon Spider.

Xu Nian, however, seemed to have known all this in advance, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Hiss!"

Soon, the trees were crushed.

A massive figure emerged into everyone's field of vision.

A gigantic demon spider was now visible to all.

The spider itself was twenty to thirty meters tall, each of its eight legs stretching out tens of meters in length.

The legs, black as polished iron, were shard-sharp at the edges, giving off a faint, ghostly glow.

Terrifying.

Xu Nian had no doubts—if one of these legs pierced a person, there would be no chance of survival.

For those legs were covered in deadly poison.

It could be said that under the Heavenly Phenomenon, very few could withstand the intense poison of the Iron Blood Demon Spider.

At the appearance of the Iron Blood Demon Spider, everyone felt a mix of surprise and fear.

Especially the guards of the Feng Family, who backed away in terror.

They had seen firsthand how formidable the Iron Blood Demon Spider was.

Many of their brothers had already died at its hands.

Now that the Iron Blood Demon Spider had made an appearance, it surely wasn't a good sign.

Hong Xiang, too, widened her eyes, a look of surprise on her lips.

The nine massive eyes of the Iron Blood Demon Spider sent shivers down one's spine just by looking at them.

Fortunately, after the spider's nine giant eyes scanned over everyone, they settled directly on one person.

In that moment, the Medicine King felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet to the top of his skull, making his scalp go numb.

For the Iron Blood Demon Spider's gaze was fixed on him.

Though he did not understand why the spider was only staring at him, he was certain of one thing—

Being the focus of the Iron Blood Demon Spider's attention was definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, there seemed to be a sense of greed in the spider's eyes.

"Medicine God, it seems I've really lost. Your Snow Toad Pill does indeed appear to have the ability to neutralize my poison," Xu Nian spoke up at this moment, breaking the silence.

The people around all turned to Xu Nian.

They didn't understand why Xu Nian would bring this up at such a time.

Had he not seen the Iron Blood Demon Spider?

The Medicine King glared fiercely at Xu Nian.

At this moment, he was far from in the mood to argue with this young man in front of him.

Just seeing the Iron Blood Demon Spider made his scalp tingle.

And he had a distinct feeling that this young man's smile carried ill intentions.

Seeing that the Medicine King did not respond, Xu Nian was not upset but simply smiled slightly, "Lord Medicine King, don't you think the Iron Blood Demon Spider arrived a bit too promptly?"

At these words, the Medicine King abruptly startled, then glared at Xu Nian.

"Is it... is it you? Did you engage in trickery?"

The Medicine King pointed accusingly at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian merely waved his hand, "No, no, no, it was your Snow Toad Pill that attracted the Iron Blood Demon Spider all by itself. My poison originally had no power to lure the Iron Blood Demon Spider, but after you took the Snow Toad Pill, your body began to emit a unique Snow Toad Fragrance, which happens to be a favorite of all spider-type Demon Beasts!"

Having said that, Xu Nian grinned.

Yet that smile, in the eyes of the Medicine King, was particularly menacing.

The Medicine King wished nothing more than to tear Xu Nian limb from limb right then and there.

"Woosh!"

But just then, a whistling sound of something cutting through the air could be heard.

The Medicine King suddenly looked up to see a blade-like object, as sharp as a Long Spear, hurtling toward him.

This blade was imbued with powerful fluctuations.

The Medicine King was terrified and hastily retreated backward.

"Boom!"

The blade plunged half a zhang into the ground.

It tore a massive trench into the earth.

And the Medicine King was blasted away by the vibrations emitted from the blade.

He had narrowly missed being impaled by it.

The people around him all took a sharp intake of breath.

Had the blade been just a little faster, the Medicine King would likely have lost his life on the spot.

"Feng Family Patriarch, help me!" After the Medicine King clumsily rolled on the ground, he urgently called out to Feng Tianshan beside him.

Of course, this was not an actual blade.

It was the leg of the Iron Blood Demon Spider.

The Iron Blood Demon Spider was already launching its attack on him.

Relying on his Early Stage of Cave Void Realm cultivation, he might avoid the Iron Blood Demon Spider's attacks once or twice.

But after several times, his death would be certain.

Therefore, the only option was to seek help from Feng Tianshan.

Only with the Feng Family's power might he have a chance to survive.

Upon hearing the Medicine King's shout, Feng Tianshan's gaze sharpened.

He was about to make a move.

However, just at that moment, a mocking, laughter-like sound arose. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Feng Family Patriarch, do you still wish to find a cure for your son's poison?"

Hearing this, Feng Family Patriarch's hand, which had been gripped around the Long Spear, suddenly loosened.

He was the head of the family; he understood that all of this had been orchestrated by the young man before him.

If he were to help the Medicine King now, his son's life would likely be beyond saving.

The more he reflected on it, the more he realized how terrifyingly calculating this young man was.

From the very beginning, he had calculated everything, even the Medicine King taking the Snow Toad Pill.

The previous provocation was to incite his competitive spirit, making the Medicine King lose his rationality.

Every step had been full of cunning schemes.

"Feng Family Patriarch, why are you just standing there?" The Medicine King, seeing Feng Tianshan's lack of action, became anxious.

But Feng Tianshan merely glanced at Xu Nian, then took a small step backward.

The Medicine King, witnessing this scene, was nearly pop-eyed with shock.

The Feng Family Patriarch had actually betrayed him.

With this, it meant he had to face the Iron Blood Demon Spider alone.

"Woosh!"

As the Medicine King cursed inwardly.

The Iron Blood Demon Spider's second attack had already reached in front of the Medicine King.

This one was even faster than before.

The Medicine King hastily summoned a sharp sword.

"Clang!"

But his sword had only just clashed with the leg of the Iron Blood Demon Spider when it was sent flying.

"Spurt!"

The Medicine King also vomited blood violently.

Xu Nian saw this scene and a cold smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"Even if I die, I will take you with me!" the Medicine King roared, transforming into a shadow as he lunged towards Xu Nian.

In his eyes was the resolve to kill.

However, Xu Nian remained indifferent to this strike.

"Splat!"

Just as the Medicine King's sword came within a foot of Xu Nian.

A spider leg instantly transformed into a blur from above and pierced through the Medicine King's back.

Pinning him firmly to the ground beneath Xu Nian's feet.
