Chapter 137: Self-destruction
Tian Jihong couldn't help but be surprised by the harshness of such an order within the ancient martial arts family when he heard such an explanation, but there was no better way at the moment, and after a short discussion with the two of them, he decided to act first to help Rokkakuno, at least after completely clearing the threat in front of him, and then gather the remaining strength to think about countermeasures together.
At this time, not far away, the Hexagonal Field, which was fighting with the Spider King to a height of several zhang in the air, seemed to be vowing to completely kill the opponent here, and now the thunder and fire that rushed to the sky had completely blocked one person and one spider in the flat ground within a radius of ten meters, and the vegetation that had grown in the original clearing had been completely turned into ashes under the devouring of the flames. The Spider King, who has nowhere to hide, no matter how high his intelligence is, no matter how he looks at it, there is no way to get out of such a predicament.
Just as the three of them rushed to the outside of the ring of fire, Rokkakuno seemed to sense the arrival of reinforcements, and felt that the time had come, he suddenly struck, and took out a particularly strange-looking bone arrow feather from the quiver beside him, and its arrow was tied with a silk thread with a tooth-like pointed bone, compared with the rest of the well-organized arrows, this arrow was visually abrupt and simple.
However, the moment the Rokkakuno took a bow and shot the arrow feathers, even Tian Jihong, who was ten meters away, instantly realized the terrifying thing about this bone arrow. The arrow feathers shuttling in mid-air were much slower than the other arrows that Rokkakuno had manipulated before, and when they slowly crossed the sky, the body of the arrow was still shaking, and it seemed that it was impossible to tell whether it could even reach the target position.
But it was such an inconspicuous arrow feather, and at the moment of leaving the bowstring, Tian Jihong and the other three clearly heard the roar coming from the void, and as the arrow branch approached the spider king in front of him, the sound of wandering in the air became clearer and clearer as if it was constantly blessed. At this time, Tian Jihong could already tell that the voice surrounding his ears was actually a crisp dragon groan.
He also immediately realized that the arrow of this arrow was polished from the skeleton of a dragon, which allowed it to burst out with such terrifying coercion when it was launched. At this time, my father's teachings to him when he was a child came to mind, and the dragon, as the leader of the bloodline among the spirit beasts, released a powerful coercion that was the nemesis of all low-level beasts. Although this kind of suppression from the bloodline did not have much effect on the human cultivators, for the spirit beasts, when faced with such a power containing the divine power of the dragon clan, the former would immediately lose most of their fighting spirit, and might even choose to turn around and flee directly.
Except for a few ancient divine beasts that can compete with the dragon clan above the bloodline, under the oppression of such dragon power, even if their cultivation exceeds that of the other party by several great realms, there are still very few spirit beasts that choose to stay and fight against the opponent. Tian Jihong also understood, in addition to being a soul hunter and having a keen perception of the breath of soul beasts, such a big killing weapon against all kinds of spirit beasts in his hand was the confidence that he really dared to walk alone in the wilderness.
It's just that in the martial world, dragon-shaped spirit beasts are often extremely strong due to the blessing of noble bloodlines, and they are more than ten times stronger than ordinary spirit beasts in terms of cultivation speed and mental improvement. Therefore, for ordinary monks, not to mention hunting a giant dragon to take its bones, even if a piece of dragon scales and dragon qi is sold on the market, it is an extremely rare and sought-after commodity. I think that only a family with a terrifying background like the Hexagonal Clan has such a skill, and casually refines the bones of dragon-shaped spirit beasts for their children to refine self-defense weapons.
And the Spider King above, who was frozen in an instant, was obviously also shocked by such a terrifying dragon power, and the strong sense of oppression that the latter brought to the Spider King even surpassed the thunder and fire burning on the side. I saw that the demon poison spider, which had been curled up together to resist the flames, did not hesitate at this time, and directly turned around and pulled away from the direction of the arrow feather, trying to delay the arrival of the arrow feather.
But how could Rokkakuno, as an opponent, give Spider such a chance? Under its full control, the bone arrow, which seemed to be shaking and would fall into the air at any moment, always chased after the Spider King who was constantly fleeing in front of him with a slow but firm momentum.
Although it can be seen from the observation of Tianji Hong, the Rokkakuno that is trying to maintain the attack of the arrow feather below is experiencing an extremely terrifying consumption of spiritual power at this time, and it seems that this kind of offensive will not last too long; However, the terrifying dragon groans that echoed on the arrows were also becoming more and more condensed, and as the dragon power continued to superimpose, the trembling amplitude between the bodies of the demonic spiders in the distance became more and more intense, and even their own actions of constantly shuttling between the silk threads to avoid the pursuit of the arrows gradually became no longer smooth, and it seemed that it had to mobilize a lot of strength to maintain the weight of the eight spider legs to support the weight of the body and stand between the treetops.
At the same time, with the help of the two Bone Forging Realm masters beside him, Tian Jihong also broke through the encirclement of the flames and entered the battlefield. The three of them silently dispersed under the tacit understanding, and attacked together towards the demon spider that had been cut off at the top. The latter was forced into a corner in less than a minute, and it had no choice but to repeat its old tricks, trying to re-condense a cocoon-like shield to block attacks from in front of it.
It's just that the oncoming bone arrows are more terrifying than the flaming arrows at the beginning. At this time, under the extremely fierce pressure of the dragon's power, the Spider King almost lost the ability to stop his body from trembling and standing in place, let alone make an effective defense. There was no suspense, and the arrow, which seemed to have nothing to do with sharpness, remained unhindered, maintaining its slow movement speed, piercing through the gap between the spider king's skull.
As the huge body gradually collapsed between the branches, and then slid weakly to the ground more than ten feet below, the terrible spider king also ushered in the end of his life. However, something unexpected happened, and when the three Tianjihong who were close at hand had not noticed any movement at this time, the Liujiaoye in the distance suddenly shouted with a solemn expression: "Quickly retreat!" That demonic spider is ready to blow itself up! Don't let it go! ”
The three people who heard this did not hesitate for a moment, and turned around to widen the distance between them and the body that fell from the top of their heads. Tian Jihong also realized that most of this sentence was said to himself, and he knew that with the power of the spirit beast's self-detonation soul core, the two Qingluo Sect with the cultivation of the Forging Bone Realm would not be injured by the body of such a spider king with a mere Kaiyuan Realm cultivation.
The situation of a spirit beast self-destructing its body and soul core is not common in the martial arts world, because this kind of jade burning behavior indicates that it has no hope of surviving. You must know that although the spirit beast has a chance to condense the soul core in the Kaiyuan Realm that has just entered the cultivation, if you want to detonate the soul core with your own spiritual strength, except for a very small number of ancient beasts with special talents or bloodlines, generally speaking, its cultivation must at least reach the level of the reincarnation realm to be able to do it, and it is difficult for soul beasts below the reincarnation realm to achieve the effect of bursting their own soul core and body and injuring the enemy through their own spiritual power strength.
In fact, after the spirit beast reaches the reincarnation realm, its soul power is often enough to form a complete soul in the body. Even if a soul beast that has reached this level loses its physical body, it has a high probability that it will only rely on its own wandering soul to maintain its consciousness from being wiped out, and then find other weak creatures to possess or take away, so that it will have a chance to start over.
The most popular thing in the martial arts world is that in the [Dragon God Sect] far away in the realm of the [Purple Sun River], there is a mountain protection spirit beast, which is a beast king who has cultivated to the peak level in the early years, and mixed into a new body through the way of soul snatching, and then cultivates from scratch to start a new life, achieving a generation of legends.
Therefore, the spirit beasts that really have the ability to detonate the soul core and body are often unwilling to give up their only remaining chance to survive, except for a very small number of ancient bloodline divine beasts who will choose to maintain the glory of the bloodline and die with their opponents, most spirit beasts will still choose to surrender or quietly flee to keep their souls from dispersing and start to practice. In addition to this kind of situation, there are more cases of the current situation where the spirit beast that is manipulated by the power of the outside monk and interferes with its own will is forcibly urged by the mastermind behind the scenes to explode.
It turns out that although this spider king has an independent sense of autonomy in battle, he still can't escape the fate of being used as a pawn by Ghost Thousand Shadows in the end. Presumably, the latter must have sensed the situation of the battle not far from here, and forcibly entered the consciousness of the Spider King with the help of unknown means and caused him to explode himself; With the cultivation of the Ghost Thousand Shadows to reach the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and a more powerful soul sense, it is still possible to detonate the soul core of the Kaiyuan Realm to cultivate into a spirit beast.
Of course, the effect of such a jade burning method is still quite amazing, in terms of spirit beast cultivation, under normal circumstances, when a spirit beast of the same level explodes itself, it is enough to threaten an opponent who is even higher than himself by a whole realm. A young monk like Tian Jihong, who had just entered the Kaiyuan Realm and was not as good as the Spider King, would definitely end up with no bones left once he was in the center of the explosion.
Fortunately, with the reminder of the hexagonal field in front, Tianjihong, who retreated in mid-air, was only overturned by the violent spiritual power fluctuations in the end, and did not suffer any other damage except for being slightly embarrassed when he landed. However, before the matter was over, a sharp arrow whistling overhead once again pulled Tianjihong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, back to reality. Looking up, he saw that a few feet away beside him, Rokkakuno took his bow again with a serious face, and shot an arrow in the direction of the soul core at the center of the explosion.
Tian Jihong didn't understand his intentions at this time, it stands to reason that the demon poison spider after the self-explosion of the physical body and even the soul core has no chance of surviving, even if it is a spirit beast that gives birth to a complete soul in the reincarnation realm, it is impossible to leave any mark after the self-explosion; Such an arrow shot without knowing the so-called made Tian Jihong feel quite surprised.
