Chapter 368: Assassination

Chapter 368: Assassination

The spider people were half human and half spider, but one shouldn’t think that their top half was the exact same as that of a human’s. Even ignoring the bottom spider half, the upper half was like that of a human, but they were still a completely different race from the humans.

First, they did not have mouths and had mouth holes similar to arthropods with two venomous parts sticking out, looking very fierce. The spider people also had insect eyes and a total of four eyes. Their hairs were grey white in colour and it grew very sparsely

Just describing this was enough to imagine just how ugly of a being they were.

Of course, ugly was relative. After all, appraising everything with human standards, there were going to be limits. In the eyes of Spirit Insects, weren’t humans ugly?

Of the spider people’s eight legs, six were slender just like iron blades and the front two were very thick, easily unearthing the ground. Actually the spider people were a commonly seen Spirit Insect. They were sly and ruthless, good at using traps, and often used poison. The majority of them were experience hunters.

The sounds coming from inside the storage room attracted the attention of the guards.

The few spider men came in to inspect and their knife like legs made clear sounds as they moved across the metal on the ground. Actually the legs of the spider people were special, not only could they easily unearth the ground, they could absorb spirit energy to allow them to walk on walls or even walk on the ceiling.

No matter what the terrain was, it couldn’t stop the spider people.

As well, the spider people’s legs were covered in fur. This fur was not just ornamental and it could use the spirit energy only the spider people had. This spirit energy could be sent several meters away and if they encountered any kind of vibration, it would not escape the detection of the spider people.

The spider people inspected everything and did not find anything strange.

Were they being too sensitive?

When the spider people’s minds were filled with doubt, they suddenly felt something. It was a very soft vibration, just like a sound coming from beneath their feet.

When the spider people looked down, a blue white frost quickly spread from the metal beneath them. They did not even have time to think this was bad before the frost quickly came out. The spider people did not even have time to react before they were turned into ice sculptures.

Chu Tian hit each ice sculpture with his blade and they instantly shattered to pieces.

“Make use of this time!”

The little fox was not too willing as he took out the eyeball. It spread its Divine Sense through the divine eyeball and the entire Oldman Mine, even the smallest detail could not escape his detection.

In a magnificent palace on the second floor, there was a tall and strong spider person who was currently resting in a large pile of dwarf treasures, only revealing half his body. This spider person was not the same as the others. Although he was also half spider and half human, his build was at least double that of a normal spider person!

The skin of his upper half was dark blue and he was covered in strange totems and incantations. He was wearing a beautiful armour as well as purely ornamental cloak, with an over three meter laying beside him.

That’s right.

This was surely the Spider Count, Kanun!

Kanun was sleeping soundly, but surrounding the palace was a dense web of spider silk. When the little fox’s Divine Sense entered the palace, almost all the strands of spider silk began to shake. These vibrations followed the thread into the pillar and the ground before reaching the structure surrounding Kanun’s legs.

Hu!

Kanun’s body rose from within the countless treasures and the ugly Spirit Insect face was filled with vigilance, “Divine Sense? Someone is spying on us with Divine Sense. There was a mouse that snuck in!”

When they heard the leader’s voice.

Several hundred elite spider race warriors charged in.

“Search!” Kanun angrily roared, “They should be close, have everyone gather here. Find that mouse for me!”

Almost instantly, several thousand spider people gathered together. They quickly searched high and low, quickly searching around the main hall.

The little fox put away the eyeball and gestured a few times to Chu Tian.

Vivian asked, “Did it find him?”

“It did, but it’s a bit bad. We have already been found.”

“What? How did they notice us!”

Chu Tian never would have thought that the spider race would have this kind of special ability. Not only would the spider silk tremble from normal vibrations and energy, it could even sense Divine Sense scanning. This was very rare.

“Kanun has gathered his army, it is impossible to ambush him now. The entire mine is filled with spider people searching for us, once they find our position, it will be impossible to complete our task.

Their faces all fell slightly.

Although the five of them were very strong, they could not resist being surrounded by tens of thousands of people!

Not to mention the fact that from the dwarf’s descriptions, Kanun was a True Spirit Realm expert!

They thought they could use Vivian’s spatial skills to easily assassinate them, but who would have thought this accident would occur? They had underestimated these insects!

Meng Yingying nervously asked, “What should we do?”

“This matter is a bit troublesome, but there’s no need to worry.” Chu Tian maintained his calm. It actually wasn’t all that scary, “The little fox using the divine eyeball to release its Divine Sense is directly jumping over space to investigate a spot, this is different from normally releasing one’s Divine Sense. Kanun will definitely focus on searching the surrounding area first and when that fails, he will gradually send people further. When the troops slowly spread out, we will choose that time to strike!”

“Alright!”

It was as Chu Tian speculated.

Kanun thought the intruders were near the palace, so he gathered several thousand people to search, not leaving any corners unturned. The spider men had very good detection abilities, so with this many of them searching around, even if the other side had powerful hiding cultivation techniques, they would still be found.

However, no matter how the spider people searched, they could not find the other side at all.

This made Kanun worried. Could the other side have escaped the moment they were discovered? The inside and outside were all heavily guarded, so if they could escape from these defenses, they were certainly not ordinary people.

“Humph, these sly mice!” Kanun was a bit restless, “Search. Turn the ground upside down, you still have to find them! I don’t believe that they could disappear into thin air!”

Kanun ordered the spider army to disperse and search, but there was spider silk in every part of the palace, so this defense was enough to prevent them from launching an ambush. Even if they are skilled in sneaking, could they pass this wall? Even if they could, the slightest bit of energy would cause this spider silk to vibrate.

Not to mention the fact that Kanun was discrete, sending people out while keeping one-two hundred elites by his side. So, he could easily deal with any situation that arises.

Kanun could not understand, how did people come in?

While he was puzzled, the spider silk around him trembled. This time wasn’t a Divine Sense scan, but rather a strong energy vibration. An incomparably sharp energy sliced through all the other energy in the space and directly ripped the space apart.

“This is bad! Spatial energy!” Kanun was shocked, “Be careful, there’s an assassin!”

Vivian created a spatial channel and they charged through it. There were over a hundred spider people guards around Kanun, but Vivian raised her hand to slice the space and several dozen guards were cut into two pieces.

This spatial attack could completely ignore all defenses!

Because the attack warped space itself, causing the attack to come at a spatial level, no matter how condensed or compact an item was, it would still be torn apart.

Kanun quickly released his spirit energy and used his energy to distort the space, thus reducing the effect of the spatial attack. He loudly shouted, “Kill them all!”

The spider people guards raised their weapons and charged forward.

Chen Bingyu and Dongfang Haoran went left and right respectively, instantly killing several dozen spider people guards.

Kanun felt that this matter was bad, these people were especially strong and just these few guards could not stop them, he had to quickly call the rest of the army over. He released his energy into several strands of spider silk and that energy was transmitted to various places. Almost every single spider person received this urgent message and immediately headed in the direction of the main hall.

The sounds of the spider people army charging in could be heard in every direction.

At most in a few seconds, this place would be surrounded!

Meng Yingying quickly shouted, “Vivian, quickly kill him!”

Vivian sent out another spatial cut, but Kanun had already spread his energy around him. Although his cultivation base was not high enough to stop the spatial attack, it could still slow down this spatial cut. Kanun dodged to the side and avoided being seriously injured, but one of his legs was still cut off.

You have good luck!

Vivian gave a snort as she gathered even more spirit energy.

Kanun was a True Spirit Realm expert, but he was only in the 1st layer. This elf with spatial energy was at least in the 3rd True Spirit Layer, so he was definitely not her match. He had to quickly escape!

Pu!

Kanun spat out a mouthful of poison fog and immediately began to run away.

“Flame Demon Transformation!”

Chu Tian turned into the flame demon and entered his second form. Like a speeding meteor, he overtook Kanun in front of him and slashed down with his flaming sword.

“Seeking death!”

Kanun could feel from Chu Tian’s aura that this person was probably in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer. Even if he released a strange secret technique, not being weaker than a peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer, but thinking that he could defend against a True Spirit Cultivator was being too overconfident.

He pulled out a spear!

Who would have thought that when Chu Tian released his full strength slash, he also released his Demon God’s Sword Source Spirit. This close to God Level Source Spirit immediately increased the power of the sword glow several times.

Dang!

A fissure appeared in Chu Tian’s protective starlight and he was sent flying several feet, while Kanun was only pushed back a single step, but he still revealed a look of utter disbelief. Although Kanun did have the advantage, forcing back a True Spirit Realm Cultivator with strength in the trivial Awakened Soul Realm was an almost impossible matter!

Chu Tian’s cultivation had increased recently, so he was satisfied with this first fight!

Kanun’s cultivation was only a bit weaker than Malim’s, being able to fight this kind of opponent and not being injured, this was enough to fill Chu Tian in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer with pride.

This did not mean it was Chu Tian’s victory. If he didn’t use the power of his main source spirit, he would not last more than ten rounds. But the most important thing was that it wasn’t important if Chu Tian won or not, he just had to stop Kanun’s movement!

Vivian exploded with power to create several slashes on the spatial level!

“No!”

Kanun gave a pitiful scream as he was turned into different sized pieces. Neither his protective spirit energy and defensive cultivation technique had any effect as he was turned into neat fragments like cut tofu.
