Chapter 242: Black Nightmare Spider

on his side was a good thing after all.Originally, Xiang Sicheng had a tremendously difficult time enduring Lu Xiaoteng's Illusory Rain Falling Sword Style. He couldn't have imagined that Du Fenghu,...The red-haired youth seemed to have ill intentions, and his identity was unknown. In this kind of place, he could potentially turn violent at any moment. It was clear that staying close to him offered no benefit whatsoever. Determined, Lu Xiaotian and his two companions immediately turned and walked away.

“Ignorant wretch.” The crimson-haired youth, who had originally been quite confident in his own bearing and had been gazing at Su Qing with a hint of infatuation, withdrew his gaze irritably and said this.

"Young master, should we chase after her That girl doesn't seem like an ordinary commoner. We could bring her back to warm your bed." A glint of lust flashed in the eyes of the fat middle-aged man beside him.

“No need to rush, we have more important matters at hand. If we get delayed by these people and something major falls through, we'll be in big trouble when we go back. It wouldn't be worth it.” The red-haired youth was somewhat tempted by the plump middle-aged man’s suggestion, but rationality still made him shake his head. Thinking about his father’s tyrannical temper, he couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences of failure. Although he held a high status within the family, he also had several brothers who posed a great threat to his position.

"It's a pity that such a beauty has abandoned us. Brothers Wu Gang are skilled at tracking and fast, so it would be best to send them after her. Second Young Master, you lead us to complete the tasks assigned by the master. This way, we can handle both public and private affairs. With your abilities, young master, plus our men, two less shouldn't make much difference. What do you think" A sly glint flashed in the fat middle-aged man's eyes, displaying a cunning air akin to a fox advisor.

"What you say isn't unreasonable, let's do it that way." The red-haired youth hesitated for a moment before agreeing with the plump middle-aged man's suggestion.

“Second Young Master, the other party has three people, and their cultivation levels are not weak. With the current tense situation in Xuan Ye City, these three dare to wander around freely, obviously they are not ordinary people. I'm afraid that my brother and I may not be able to handle them. Why don't you send a few more people to assist Second Young Master” Wu Gang, with a thin face, showed a worried expression. At the same time, he secretly glanced at the plump middle-aged man's eyes with a hint of hostility. However, at this moment, he was being ignored by the plump middle-aged man, and the two brothers had no good solution.

"It's not about you two brothers charging up and fighting them directly, just keep an eye on them. Once that's done, you've accomplished a great feat, and when you come back, there will be plenty of rewards for you." The red-haired youth impatiently waved his hand and left with the rest of the people, including the fat middle-aged man.

Wu Gang and Wu Qing exchanged glances, sighed helplessly, and chased after Lu Xia Tian and his three companions.

"Strange, how did people disappear Just now I could still feel the other party's breath." They had chased for a hundred miles, always trailing behind the others. The others didn't seem to notice, and the two brothers felt relieved. Just when the two brothers thought that those people were nothing special, they suddenly lost their trace.

“Over there, over there, there’s a fight, it should be battling with demonic beasts.” Lai Jia searched for a while, and suddenly felt two huge waves of magical power colliding in the distant forest. Among them, there was sharp sword energy, as well as the roars and screams of demonic beasts. It was clear that the battle had just reached its climax.

Wu Gang and Wu Qing's faces lit up with joy. Although they were reluctant, both knew the second young master of the red-haired youth was a stern man. If he really ran off with the beautiful girl in front of them, they would probably face dire consequences when they returned.

The two of them approached from afar, and as they got closer, they saw that there had indeed been a small battle in the distance. What surprised them was that of the original three, only Su Qing stood calmly on the spot, a mocking smile playing on her lips as she watched the two of them.

"Bad, it's a trap!" The Wu Qing and Wu Gang brothers reacted quickly after seeing the scene before them. They wondered where the other two had gone. It turned out that the other party had discovered their tailing long ago and only now set up a trap. Obviously, they were waiting for them to separate from the large group of red-haired youth before making a move. What a clever scheme!

The opponent had three people, and they were well-prepared. After Wu Gang's two brothers felt a chill in their hearts, they quickly rose their swords, wanting to rush out at the fastest speed and escape the opponent's trap.

"Since you're here, don't leave!" Luo Qian had gone through a lot in the past few years and had matured considerably. Though there was still some pride in his bones, it had been worn down facing Lu Xiaoteng and he wouldn't deliberately show it off. This didn't mean he looked down on just any two small characters though. After being bumped by that fat middle-aged man a couple of times, he was seething inside. Naturally, he took the Wu Gang and Wu Qing brothers as targets for his frustration. His thunder spear hovered menacingly above them, smashing down with a powerful blow. The thunder spear transformed into two massive gun shadows.

Blades clashed amidst the rumbling of thunder, the Wu Gang brothers were taken aback, hastily raising their swords to defend themselves. However, Luo Qian's strike, fueled by anger, was no ordinary attack. An irresistible force surged forward, causing the Wu Gang brothers to experience a surge of qi and blood as they were sent flying backward.

"We're not opponents, retreat!" The two brothers were shocked and angry. They had lived in Xuan Ye City for a long time and were familiar with the young masters who frequently entered and exited the city. Seeing that these three people were unfamiliar and had never heard of them, they thought they were ordinary cultivators. Unexpectedly, they had such amazing skills, and there was even a powerful Lei Xiu among them. If they had known earlier, they would rather have risked being reprimanded by the second young master than followed along."

Realizing Luo Qian wasn't someone they could take on, the two experienced fighters immediately chose another breakthrough point. Su Qing and Luo Qian's auras were very compatible, with nonchalant expressions as they guarded there, obviously not someone easily dealt with by just the two of them. Of the three, only Lu Xiaotian's aura was unclear, faintly feeling slightly weaker than Luo Qian and Su Qing. Without much thought, he charged towards Lu Xiaotian. Unexpectedly, a large ice seal suddenly slammed down from the air, its aura oppressive, leaving the two brothers who were originally charging at Lu Xiaotian caught off guard, almost being smashed directly from the sky. Luckily, although this ice seal was powerful, with both brothers' combined strength, they managed to hold it back. Gritting their teeth, they were about to join forces to break through the ice seal when a black flying sword suddenly shot towards them, forcing Wu Qing to respond with all his might, while Wu Gang could only struggle under the ice seal, feeling the surge of chilling coldness, his face turning a sickly blue. This was when he realized that this seemingly ordinary young man's skills were no less formidable. Even with both brothers working together, they were still not opponents.Turning back, Luo Qian and Su Qing had already surrounded them, forming a triangle with Lu Xiaotian, tightly encircling the two brothers in the middle. The brothers' faces were ashen; at least with their strength, dealing with one of them individually would be difficult, let alone three attacking together. Without reinforcements, they were almost certain to die.

“Who are you, and why are you here” Luo Qian first asked in a deep voice.

“We are the Cheng family from Xuan Ye City. The Cheng family is a renowned Jindan family in the city, and our patriarch's reputation spreads far and wide. If you lay your hands on us brothers, you will be offending the Cheng family, and there will be no escaping the pursuit of the Cheng family.” In a desperate situation, Wu Gang first thought of the Jindan ancestor of the Cheng family. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators probably couldn't intimidate the formidable few in front of them. Perhaps only the name of a Jindan cultivator could make these three wary.

“The Cheng family of Xuan Yecheng” Su Qing, Lu Xia tian had an idea in their hearts. Before coming here, they had done some research on Xuan Yecheng, although it was still superficial, they knew a little bit about it.

“Well then, I wonder which sect or family these talented disciples belong to. To be able to cultivate such impressive abilities so casually…” Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Wu Gang's heart calmed slightly. His tone softened, and he tried to make friends with them.

"Cut the chatter, speak! What brings you here And who is that red-haired boy" Luo Qian's expression darkened. Just a Jindan family, he was still far inferior to Lingxiao Palace.

"You, what do you want" Wu Qing's face changed. He didn't expect that even bringing up his family name wouldn't scare these people. It seemed like this wouldn't be an easy hurdle to overcome.

“I’ll ask you some questions, answer honestly. We can all get along peacefully, but if not…” Lu Xia Tian’s face broke into a smile, Luo Qian acting as the stern one naturally made him happy to play the amiable role.

“The red-haired young man is our Second Young Master, Cheng Tao. We only know that this time, the Second Young Master seems to have something important to do. As for what exactly it is, we, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, are not taken too seriously and naturally don't know much.” Seeing the expressions on the few people’s faces weren’t good, Wu Gang knew in his heart that if he remained silent, they probably wouldn’t pass this hurdle.

“Saying something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Su Qing said with a displeased look.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“We, we really don’t know. By the way, when the head of the family instructed the second young master, the second young master seemed quite pleased. At that time, the head of the family used sound transmission, and we were far away, so we didn’t know anything.” Wu Gang saw Su Qing’s displeasure and his heart skipped a beat. Fearing that the other party would immediately take action, he quickly added another sentence.

"Lù Xiǎotiān noticed that the two people didn't seem to be lying, knowing that he probably wouldn't get anything out of them on this matter. So he changed the subject and asked: “Have there been any cultivators from other realms active near Xuanye City recently”

“Yes, yes, cultivators from the Southern Wasteland and the Heavenly Firmament Realm all have them. There are disciples from several sects like Tianlang Valley, Dashimen, Cangheling, and Jinzhining, as well as the Qianzhujiao. They've already fought several battles, killing many people. Our Cheng family also received a mission to fight against foreign cultivators from Cangheling a few times. We even lost a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert. Several others were seriously injured.” Hearing Lu Xiaoteng inquire about the situation regarding the foreign cultivators, Wu Gang thought of the terrifying battles that had erupted before, his face paled, and he hurriedly said.

What should we do with these two guys

Luo Qian had a hint of killing intent in his eyes as he looked at Lu Xiaoteng. The Wu Gang brothers were startled, it seemed that Lu Xiaoteng was the one who made the decisions among the three. However, their lives were now in the other's hands, and both of them felt uneasy. They gripped their hands tightly, ready to fight even unto death if anything went wrong.

Lu Xia Tian was just about to reply when suddenly a massive spiritual pressure surged over. Lu Xia Tian's eyebrows shot up, and he roared, "Retreat!"

Luo Qian and Su Qing both reacted quickly, retreating after the warning. In mid-air, fine white threads flashed past, the threads were extremely thin, but they gave off a sense of sharpness that could pierce anything. After retreating thousands of meters, Lu Xiaoteng suddenly saw a huge black spider with wings break through the air at an incredible speed. Those white threads came from the mouth of the black flying spider. In the blink of an eye, they entangled the Wu brothers. The threads seemed to contain a powerful corrosive poison. Before they could escape, the Wu brothers were entangled and their bodies began to rot at a visible speed, emitting heart-wrenching screams.

But the screams didn't last long. The black bead opened its mouth wide, and the Wu brothers were pulled to the edge of its mouth by threads. The black bead opened its mouth, revealing a pair of sharp teeth that looked terrifying. In three or two bites, it swallowed the two brothers whole. Then a pair of fist-sized green eyeballs swept across Lu Xiaottian and his companions.

"Black Nightmare Spider!" A hint of fear flashed across Su Qing, Luo Qian, and Lu Xiaotian's faces. They didn't expect to encounter such a rare monster here. The Black Nightmare Spider before them clearly already had the strength of a sixth-rank monster. Its attack power was extremely formidable, and the spider silk it spit contained劇毒. Once touched, if there was no antidote made from spider eggs, or a Jindan cultivator directly removed the toxicity, even the most skilled Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably die.

"Let's go!" Su Qing didn't wait for Lu Xia Tian to speak this time. She directly made the decision. With her strength, she didn't want to entangle with this monster any longer.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although Su Qing, Lu Xia Tian and the others were unwilling to tangle with it, this black nightmare spider seemed reluctant to give up on its seemingly appetizing prey. It shot silk threads, chasing after the three of them. Judging by their auras, they were indeed far weaker than the black nightmare spider. After all, it was a sixth-order monster beast, while Lu Xia Tian and the others were only at the mid-stage of foundation building, a whole rank apart.

"You're asking for death!" Su Qing's face turned cold. The reason she had taken the initiative to retreat was mainly because the black nightmare spider in front of her was indeed difficult to deal with. She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, but it didn't mean she was afraid of this sixth-order monster. Facing this monster, she couldn't use ordinary methods like she did against the Wu brothers. Su Qing's pretty face turned cold, and she took out her fish scale whip. The golden whip drew a circle in the air, and the seemingly only zhang long (about 3.3 meters) fish scale whip suddenly lengthened to several tens of zhang, carrying a dazzling golden light, directly whipping towards the black nightmare spider. Luo Qian saw Su Qing make a move, and without hesitation, his figure flashed, taking advantage of Su Qing's attack to arrive above the black nightmare spider, ready to deliver a killing blow.Suddenly, an unremarkable cloud in the air exploded. A black-bearded old man with a red headcloth poked his head out and shouted, scattering a fine white net, then waved his hand, launching a dazzling blue flying needle toward Luo Qian and Lu Xiaoteng, as if trying to trap both of them.

Luo Qian let out a cold snort and replaced his ordinary weapon with the Dan Yuan spear, changing his tactics. With a thrust upwards, the spearhead's glint directly pierced a large hole in the white net. Lu Xiaoteng was not idle either. The Blazing Fire-Dividing Sword erupted with flames, directly burning the spider silk into a curl. The Fish Scale Whip and the sword attacked from front to back, flanking the Black Nightmare Spider.uldn't fathom what the other party might do next. 。Ye Ziyu was taken aback, at this time she hadn't discovered anything unusual, and she hadn't even sensed the lurking danger. 。Lu Xia Tian grabbed Ye...
