Chapter 135 Demon Spider

The knife used by Qiu Qianling was really ordinary, but her movements were too fast, and Xie Xiaohai was seriously injured, so his reaction was a bit slower than usual.

So much so that before he could even move, the bloody blade had already pierced his chest.

With a soft "whoosh" sound, the sharp blade tore through the flesh and went straight into the heart and lungs.

The severe pain made Xie Xiaohai's vision go black. In shock and anger, he roared, "You, you dare to sneak attack me--!" He suddenly used his spiritual power and slapped Qiu Qianling with his palm.

The fierce gale instantly stirred up a storm in the yard. The bamboos in front of the window were all broken by the shock. The roses by the fence were suddenly ravaged by the wind, and the petals and leaves fell like rain.

Qiu Qianling gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, but he still couldn't withstand the attack of the Jindan realm cultivator. The next moment, his whole body flew out of his hand and flew backwards, his back hitting the door frame hard, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xie Xiaohai raised a sinister grin, grasped the sharp blade in front of him with both hands, and was about to pull it out, when he suddenly realized that all the blood in his body was boiling and rushing madly towards the magic knife inserted in his chest.

What was even more terrifying was that his spiritual power was being greedily and madly devoured by the magic sword at an incredible speed.

But in the blink of an eye, the Dantian, which had already been torn to pieces by Chi Li, suddenly cracked.

"No! Don't!" Xie Xiaohai let out a scream that was almost desperate. He grabbed the bloody blade with both hands in vain, letting his palms be cut and bleeding, but he was unable to pull it out.

He could only watch helplessly as his body shrivelled up at a terrifying speed under the devouring of the magic knife.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a dried corpse and fell straight back to the ground.

Before he lost consciousness, he was still thinking in his mind, why, Xie Yuqing was obviously her enemy, why did Qiu Qianling choose to attack him?

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out until his death, and could only go to hell to get an answer with endless anger and unwillingness.

If there is hell in this world.

"Cough cough..." Qiu Qianling grabbed the door frame and staggered to her feet. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with her fingers. A sharp pain came from her chest, but she was too lazy to even frown.

The ribs were probably broken, but so what?

She was the one who survived in the end, wasn't she?

As long as she is alive, there is hope and she can accomplish everything she wants!

Qiu Qianling has suffered too many injuries in the past two days, and both his body and soul are numb from the pain.

She raised her eyes to look at the bloody blade stuck in Xie Xiaohai's chest, and suddenly chuckled.

The golden sunlight slanted into the courtyard, brushing across the bloody blade and casting a long shadow on the ground.

The blood blade trembled slightly in the setting sun, making a low buzzing sound, as if urging Qiu Qianling to retract it quickly.

"The third one." Qiu Qianling walked to Xie Xiaohai calmly, and her blood-stained hand grasped the hilt of the sword. The blood blade immediately turned into a dazzling blood light and sank into her palm.

Just like before, a surge of spiritual power quickly spread along the meridians, like warm spring water slowly soothing the broken and damaged flesh and blood, bringing a sense of comfort, and even the broken ribs healed.

She looked down at her palm. The wound had disappeared and her skin was as smooth as new.

"Elder Xie, thank you very much." Qiu Qianling looked at Xie Xiaohai and thanked him sincerely with a gentle smile on his face.

She has always been a grateful and helpful person, so she naturally couldn't bear to see Xie Xiaohai's body exposed in the wilderness, all alone without anyone to accompany him.

So he went to the corner of the yard to get a hoe, dug a deep hole for him beside the fence, and buried his body in it.

He then brought in a few pots of roses that had just sprouted buds from under the eaves and transplanted them on top. Then he clapped his hands and stood up.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the rose seedlings swayed their slender branches comfortably. The red buds that had not yet bloomed trembled gently, and the fragrance was charming.

Let these beautiful flowers accompany Xie Xiaohai, so that even if he dies, he will feel happy.

Qiu Qianling stood in the yard with a smile on his face, looked for a while, then turned and walked into the bedroom.

However, she did not notice that not far outside the yard, there was a pair of dark eyes hiding, quietly watching everything that happened in the yard.

————

Qiu Qianling lay down on the bed again. As soon as he closed his eyes, his consciousness fell into darkness and a cold wind blew in his face.

She opened her eyes and saw the familiar cemetery again. The faint blue phosphorescence was floating in the dark night like a meteor.

She still remembered that when she left last time, Murong Ci said she would teach her the Blood Blade Sword Technique.

You have to know that this person defeated all the demons on his own and sat on the throne of the Demon Lord. It goes without saying that the swordsmanship she taught must be very powerful.

Qiu Qianling has never been so eager to become stronger as she is now, and she can't wait any longer.

He walked quickly towards Murong Ci's grave. Suddenly, he noticed several silver-white lines in the darkness, flashing with crystal light.

She quickly stopped and looked carefully, only to find that there was a huge spider web in front of her. If she had not discovered it in time, she would have almost crashed into it.

Just as he was secretly rejoicing, there was a rustling sound above his head. Qiu Qianling raised his head and his pupils suddenly constricted.

She saw an enormous spider, moving its eight hairy legs, crawling quickly across the spider web and attacking her.

Qiu Qianling's breathing stagnated slightly. He hurriedly summoned the Blood Blade and slashed at it, but the Blood Blade, which was always effective, failed to cause any damage to the spider this time.

The blade cut through the spider's legs like it was hitting a hard rock. Not only did it not cut off the spider's legs, but it also made her wrist numb.

The next moment, the spider stretched out its two legs and stabbed at Qiu Qianling. She was afraid, but she still gripped the blood blade tightly and raised it to block. With a bang, the blood blade flew out of her hand and fell to the ground.

"Hiss..." The spider let out a shrill low hum, its abdomen bulged, and several silver-white threads suddenly shot out from its mouthparts.

Qiu Qianling was terrified and turned around to run away. His shoulder was suddenly hit by spider silk. He staggered and fell to the ground. The wound on his dantian was touched, and he spit out blood again.

She didn't bother to heal her wounds, but quickly used her spiritual power to summon a protective shield in front of her. She turned to look at the huge spider, only to see its two legs stabbing at her like sharp blades, easily breaking the shield.

Qiu Qianling was extremely panicked. Was she going to die here?

Suddenly, there was a loud "clang" sound, and a white light shot out from nowhere and hit the spider's armor-covered back directly.

The spider screamed and rolled down from the spider web, with its eight legs facing the sky. Its long, hairy legs twitched and then it stopped moving.

"It's really embarrassing that you can't even deal with a demon spider." A clear voice sounded.

Qiu Qianling looked up and saw a woman in black standing on a tombstone in the distance, her clothes fluttering in the wind. She was wearing a snow-white mask on her face, and two curved white horns protruded from her black hair on her forehead.

She couldn't help but feel happy, "Master!"

"I actually hope that I have never accepted a useless disciple like you." Murong Ci said in a cold tone, and flew down from the tombstone and landed next to Qiu Qianling.

She reached out and called back the bloody blade that had fallen to the ground. With two swipes, she cut through the spider silk wrapped around Qiu Qianling and handed it to her. "Take your weapon."

Qiu Qianling looked embarrassed. He forced himself to stand up and took the blood blade in his hand. However, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. He suspected that she had deliberately released the demon spider to make fun of her.

She argued, "Master, it's not that I don't have the ability, but this demon spider is too difficult to deal with. Besides, you didn't teach me anything except a blood blade."

Murong Ci snorted coldly, "How dare you talk back?"

Seeing her cold eyes, Qiu Qianling immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Disciple doesn't dare."

Murong female said coldly: "Raise your head."

Qiu Qianling didn't understand why, but she also knew the importance of respecting teachers. Since she had already taken Murong Ci as her teacher, no matter what her motives were, as long as Murong Ci taught her, she should respect her.

So, she put away the awkward thoughts in her mind and raised her head obediently.

Murong Ci stretched out her finger and pressed lightly on her forehead, and a hint of coolness seeped into her skin.

In an instant, Qiu Qianling felt a series of images of sword-dancing figures appear in her head, as if the skills were directly instilled into her mind, allowing her to master an exquisite sword technique in an instant.

She had a premonition that as long as she could fully master and integrate this technique, no one, whether immortal or demon, would be her match.

"This is the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique of the Yuque Sect. Back then, Murong Ci..." He paused, then continued, "It was with this sword technique that I defeated the nine demon kings of the demon race and became the Demon Lord."

Qiu Qianling couldn't see her face, so he naturally didn't notice her momentary awkwardness. He just nodded and praised, "Master is amazing."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle of the Blood Blade and gesture according to the image in his mind.

Seeing her excitement, Murong Ci chuckled, "Alright, this place is left to you. Practice and comprehend it well. Don't worry, this is your dreamland. You won't die, but you will still feel pain if you get hurt. If you can't deal with the demon spider, remember to retreat in time. Don't try to be brave."

After she finished speaking, Murong Ci disappeared from Qiu Qianling's sight.

Suddenly, dozens of spider webs sparkling with crystal light appeared in the sky above the cemetery. In the center of each spider web, there was a huge demon spider.

Qiu Qianling's pupils trembled and the blood in his body turned cold.

Chi Li returned to the cave in Lingyun Mountain through the gate of dreams.

Before this, she had just received Elder Xujun of the Lingjian Sect. As soon as she came back, Liu Shen'ai reminded her that Qiu Qianling wanted to see her.

Fortunately, she had prepared the magic spider long ago, so she didn't make any big mistakes in front of Qiu Qianling just now.

As for the sword technique she taught Qiu Qianling, it was just a cheap thing exchanged from the system store, and it only cost three thousand points.

Because this sword technique cannot be used right away, it requires time to practice. It is not enough to just remember it, you must constantly comprehend and improve your sword technique in actual combat.

After all, Chi Li didn't have the patience to teach Qiu Qianling step by step, so she just let those magic spiders play with her.

It will take more than a day for Qiu Qianling to defeat them.

I hope that Qiu Qianling, the heroine, will not disappoint her expectations. The hero still needs her to deal with it.

As for what to do next...

Chi Li leaned back in her chair, tapping the armrest with her fingertips. She said in a cold voice, "Please ask Elder Yu to come in."
