Supreme Emptiness

Jiang Fan grabbed Demon Moon and flew off the back of the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

The battle between Ninth Layer Perfection and the Ninth Layer was bound to be earth-shattering.

He did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

"Who is it? Come out, if you dare!" the Black Spider quickly dodged.

The demon beast under her feet was smashed into meat pulp by a single tail swipe.

This made her incredibly furious.

She prided herself on being cautious, yet she fell into the enemy's trap!

Though, it was not entirely her fault.

After all, who could have imagined Demon Moon would lead an army of over ten thousand dead spirits to attack a Boundary Mountain with few strong defenders and suffer a crushing defeat?

Not only did they lose the battle, but Demon Moon was captured alive by the enemy?

And if that wasn't bad enough, the dead corpse army was even controlled by the enemy?

Controlling them was already bad enough, but to think he had the nerve to pretend to attack them as an ally?

All these unforeseeable factors led to the current situation.

But, a trap was a trap.

There was no point in making excuses.

"Outrageous!"

Dodging another strike from the Nine-Headed Giant Python, the Black Spider's eyes blazed with cold killing intent.

Facing an opponent with power exceeding Ninth Layer Perfection, she showed no fear.

"Do you think it alone can subdue me?"

She glanced at the battlefield.

It appeared that the demon beasts suffered a great impact.

But more than half of the demon beasts managed to withstand the shockwave, fighting against the dead corpse puppets.

The remaining demon beasts, although initially knocked over.

Apart from a few unlucky ones.

Most of them were struggling to deal with two dead corpse puppets each.

As long as she acted quickly here, suppressing the Nine-Headed Giant Python at once.

She would have time to rescue the fallen demon beasts.

Thus,

she was the key force that would decide the outcome.

On the condition that she defeated this Nine-Headed Giant Python, a corpse of a Demon Emperor!

"Die!"

The Black Spider's face twisted into a snarl as she turned into a blur, clashing with the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

The collision set off an incredibly intense ripple.

For a moment, neither side gained the upper hand.

Jiang Fan's expression changed: "What a ferocious war general!"

To him, this war general's strength was even more formidable than that of the fierce Blood Flood Dragon and the cold Leng Gu.

Um, um, um~

Demon Moon opened her mouth, as if wanting to speak.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment.

The great battle was in full swing; sealing her mouth was no longer necessary.

He then removed her Demon Core.

Ah—

Demon Moon almost vomited from the removal.

She gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "You better run for your life!"

"The Black Spider is not something the Nine-Headed Giant Python can handle!"

What?

Jiang Fan's eyes flickered.

The Nine-Headed Giant Python's strength surpassed the Ninth Layer Perfection, second only to Nascent Soul.

It could actually be no match for the Black Spider?

Seeing his disbelief, Demon Moon said: "The Black Spider is the strongest of the war generals!"

"Known as the leader of the Ten Great War Generals!"

"Her power is second only to the Four Great Demon Kings!"

"She even sparred with the Four Great Demon Kings, resulting in... a draw!"

"Your intelligence is severely flawed!"

Thud—

Jiang Fan's heart sank abruptly.

The war general they encountered was such a formidable adversary?

Demon Moon spoke rapidly: "Moreover, the Black Spider's spider silk was cultivated by absorbing Hell Black Flame."

"As a fire attribute, its restraining effect on the Nine-Headed Giant Python needs no elaboration, right?"

This!

Jiang Fan's mind raced.

Facing any other war general, this battle could have been won.

Except they faced the Black Spider.

"Stop hesitating, your death could drag me down!" Demon Moon said urgently.

Jiang Fan immediately grasped her and found Jian Linyuan, who was in the midst of a fierce battle.

He shared the intel concerning the Black Spider.

Jian Linyuan's face changed dramatically: "This is my fault!"

"For providing incorrect information!"

Seeing the other six members converging, Jiang Fan decisively said:

"Retreat immediately!"

"The Black Spider has to defeat the Nine-Headed Giant Python and then salvage the battlefield; she won't pay attention to us for now!"

Bang—

Suddenly,

a sharp piercing noise erupted in the sky.

Then,

a massive shadow as tall as a great pillar crashed down before them with a boom.

Upon closer inspection,

it was the Nine-Headed Giant Python, several heads shattered, and its body charred.

A half-human, half-spider demon with a cold gaze stared at them.

"So it's you little guys?"

The Black Spider extended her scarlet tongue.

Licking her alluring lips.

"Such nerve you have."

"Just you few, daring to plot against my thousand-strong demon army?"

"I'll tear open your bellies to see just how big your guts are!"

Hiss—

Her mouth suddenly spewed a perfectly transparent spider silk, shooting at Jian Linyuan.

Jiang Fan's face changed instantly.

Without a word, he summoned the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain to block in front of them.

Boom—

To everyone's amazement,

the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain was knocked back by the spider silk.

Jiang Fan caught it, but he was still staggered back several steps from the impact.

"Oh? You can actually withstand my Hellfire Silk?"

The Black Spider let out a gasp of astonishment.

Then sneered: "In that case, I'll gladly take it!"

Poof, poof, poof—

Her mouth spewed a dense mesh of silk threads.

Covering the sky, they rolled towards the crowd.

Jiang Fan's face changed dramatically.

This was the strongest war general's strike!

He could barely protect his own life; there was no way he could also shield Jian Linyuan and the others.

At this critical moment.

Demon Moon gritted her teeth.

Suddenly, she waved her sleeve.

A wave of powerful death aura instantly shrouded the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

Jiang Fan's connection with the Nine-Headed Giant Python was immediately reestablished.

Without hesitation, he issued an order.

Smack—

The giant python's tail lashed out, sending the Black Spider flying a hundred feet away.

Poof!

Unprepared, the Black Spider was struck solidly by the attack.

One of her spider legs was broken on the spot.

Her body covered in blood.

She spat out a green blood arrow from her mouth.

She looked up in disbelief, glaring at Demon Moon: "You dare help the Human Clan?"

Demon Moon's face was conflicted, she said: "I don't care about the others."

"This person, you cannot kill!"

The Black Spider glanced at Jiang Fan with a vexed expression.

She understood that Jiang Fan was the one who had seized control of the dead corpse army.

This entire raid was also his scheme.

"Why?" the Black Spider asked coldly.

Demon Moon found it hard to explain and said: "That's none of your business!"

"Let him go, I will take responsibility with the Demon Emperor."

The Black Spider said nothing more.

She snorted: "Fine! I'll give the Demon Moon Priest this courtesy."

"All of you, get lost."

Hearing this.

Shang Shiqiu and Leng Qingzhu secretly let out a breath of relief.

They felt like they had been given a second chance at life.

The other four male disciples also lowered their guards.

But just at that moment.

Jiang Fan ordered the Nine-Headed Giant Python without hesitation: "Block it!"

The giant python's enormous body rose to shield them.

A shadow shot through, striking the giant python's body violently.

The massive body got punched through, leaving a gaping hole.

A rain of shattered bones sent Leng Qingzhu and the others flying.

One male disciple was even impaled through the abdomen by bone fragments.

Nearly dying.

Only Jiang Fan and Jian Linyuan, who had stayed vigilant, escaped unscathed.

From the hole,

the Black Spider's figure emerged.

With a sadistic grin on her face: "I have never let prey escape in my life."

"Especially prey that Demon Moon wants to protect."

"The more you protect him, the more I want him!"

"Hee hee hee!"
