Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 401-Chapter 500)

A while earlier, when her threads clashed with Li Qingshan’s breath, countless strands of silk had been knocked away, deeply embedded into the surrounding walls.

She did not abandon these threads. Instead, she controlled the threads, weaving them together. She was like a spider patiently weaving a web and waiting for prey to fall into it.

Li Qingshan responded immediately. A stream of air struck the web, but it only caused a ripple. He punched out again and again, but the power of tremors struggled to tear through the web too.

Every single thread that went into the web was as thick as a finger, composed of immeasurable strands of silk. It was much tougher than any web she could casually spit out. Once caught, even if he possessed endless power, even with his Tremors of the Ox Demon, it would be impossible for him to break free.

“Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell!”

Li Qingshan bellowed out and countless hexagonal pieces formed a sphere, holding back the web.

“I’d like to see how long you can last!” The Spider Queen sneered. She drew in her hand, and the web tightened. Cracks immediately appeared on the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell as the threads dug in. It was as if the shell could shatter in the next moment.

“Are you prepared?” Li Qingshan laughed wildly.

“What?” The Spider Queen furrowed her brows.

“What do you think?” Li Qingshan studied her snow-white body, and his eyes shone with an abusive light. He was about to return all the oppression and humiliation he had gone through.

“You’re dreaming!” the Spider Queen barked. The web tightened, and with a crack, the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell became riddled with fractures.

“In truth, I discovered your scheme a long time ago. How could you fool me with everything that goes on in the earth?” Li Qingshan laughed.

“If you discovered it, why didn’t you flee?” The Spider Queen was unconvinced, but she could not help but become doubtful inside.

“I was afraid you might flee.” Li Qingshan laughed. “Actually, there’s a flaw with this web.”

“Where?”

The Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell shattered loudly.

Li Qingshan raised a finger. “It’s you!”

The Spider Queen only vaguely saw two violent blasts of air from Li Qingshan’s back. He vanished in that instant.

She was alarmed, but by the time she had responded, it was already too late. Li Qingshan crashed into her with the web.

“You’ll need daemon qi and physical strength to maintain the web! Now, both your daemon qi and your physical strength should be mostly consumed, right?” Li Qingshan lay on top of her and gripped her slender neck with a claw. He smiled viciously. “I’m very vengeful, mother of my child!”





Chapter 491: I Said I Would and I Will | Legend of the Great Sage




The Spider Queen no longer smiled. There was shock, rage, as well as a hint of irrepressible fear.

This feeling had been with her from the day she gained intelligence until the day she broke through to Daemon Commander. After all these years, no one, nothing, had managed to make her feel fear again.

Have I been defeated? No, how can I be defeated?!

The Spider Queen began to struggle desperately. She grabbed his arms and lifted her leg, kicking him in the back.

Li Qingshan smiled viciously. He weighed heavily on the Spider Queen’s snow-white body like a mountain. No matter how she struggled, she did not budge at all.

His arms became riddled with bloody marks, and his back ached from the kick. However, her attacks had ceased to be as sharp as they were in the beginning. They seemed rather powerless.

Having battled until now, the Spider Queen’s daemon qi was on the verge of running out, and exhaustion filled her entire body. Her strength was no longer as great as when she first started off.

As for Li Qingshan’s body, it had become stronger after breaking through to the fourth layer of the tiger demon. He had also used the power of belief to constantly replenish his daemon qi. Due to the Strength of the Earth, he felt no exhaustion at all. In particular, his strength grew further after digesting Strongboulder’s daemon core.

As she grew weaker and he grew stronger, she was no longer able to maintain an upper hand in close combat.

The Spider Queen used her remaining daemon qi to tighten the web, trapping Li Qingshan and choking him by the neck. Her eight legs shot towards him rapidly.

Without even batting an eye, Li Qingshan threw a punch at her belly. It possessed his original strength from the ox demon, the power of tremors, as well as some strengthening from the power of belief.

In that instant, the Spider Queen became dyed with a layer of silvery-grey. The power of tremors was released wave after wave and cracks began to appear on her silvery-grey skin. Before she could even recover, a second punch fell.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Qingshan completely ignored the tightening web and incoming legs. He simply hurled his fist at her again and again, venting his emotions viciously.

The web gradually slackened and the legs became powerless. Towards the end, they could not even pierce his Ox Demon Forges its Hide.

Ripples appeared on the Spider Queen’s metallic skin, recovering some of the texture of skin. The silvery-grey colour gradually receded, turning back into snow-white.

Li Qingshan’s punches had depleted the last shred of daemon qi in her. There was no longer enough to maintain the innate abilities.

Li Qingshan casually ripped off the web around him. Without the control of daemon qi, without the tugging of physical strength, the spider web was only an inanimate object no matter how tough it was.

Afterwards, he patted the Spider Queen’s face. “How is it, ma’am Spider Queen? Haven’t I served you well? You love this kind of service!”

“I’m going to kill you!” The Spider Queen’s face twisted, sinking into hysterical anger. She opened her vermillion lips, wanting to spit out a strand of silk to pierce Li Qingshan’s head.

Smack!

A crisp slap landed on the Spider Queen’s face, throwing her face to one side. She suddenly turned back, only to be met with another slap.

Whenever she turned her head and tried to spit out silk, she would earn a slap. After over a dozen slaps, she finally gave up on this action that only invited humiliation. She kept her head turned to one side, staring at Li Qingshan with one eye. This scene was exactly the same as before, except hatred filled her eyes.

Boom!



Another fist landed on her abdomen. Li Qingshan had not done it in response to this resentful gaze, but rather, it was because he sensed signs of daemon qi beginning to gather in her body. Daemon Commanders gathered daemon qi far too quickly.

If she ends up escaping due to a moment of carelessness and flees blindly, catching her again will be difficult. I still have a lot of things I haven’t done yet!

Li Qingshan thought of something. With a wave of his hand, pieces of the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell scattered, forming a faint blue sphere that enveloped them perfectly. It immediately blocked out the spiritual qi of the world.

He was replicating Fu Qingjin’s Green Ruins Illusion. Recovering daemon qi required absorbing the spiritual qi of the world. However, this move did not really have any value in battle, as he also would not be able to absorb the spiritual qi of the world once encased. Under normal circumstances, the Spider Queen could smash through this cage in a single move.

But now, this was perfect.

Li Qingshan eased up and let go of the Spider Queen’s throat, caressing her face gently. He slid down to her clavicle and then to her plump, white chest.

Now, it was time for him to enjoy the spoils of battle.

To Li Qingshan’s surprise, the Spider Queen did not put up any desperate resistance. Instead, she slowly turned her head back as if she was afraid of aggravating him. A hint of weakness that he had never seen appeared on her mesmerising face.
