Chapter 605 - 601: Provocation
She was also dressed in black, almost blending into the night.
At first, she seemed a bit unsteady, as if injured, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
She wiped the blood from her mouth harshly, her eyes filled with disdain and hatred for the entire world.
When she looked up again, her gaze was locked firmly on Su Muyao. She curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Su Muyao, you didn’t expect me to show up at this moment, did you?"
"When you’re at your weakest, I’ll kill you."
"Haha, where’s your Beast Husband? Don’t they all love you? Yet, not one of them is by your side."
"Su Muyao, you’re a joke too."
Her voice was hoarse, carrying a defiant hatred.
She chose this moment specifically to kill Su Muyao.
To her dismay, she hadn’t expected that Su Muyao’s room was surrounded by a more powerful Barrier Array.
This array was comparable to the barrier of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, incredibly powerful.
She had lost two lives just to get inside.
Liu Mengyan was utterly furious.
This also meant that if she couldn’t kill Su Muyao here, she would die and her efforts would be in vain.
She blamed it all on Su Muyao.
Su Muyao had long been on guard, but she hadn’t expected Liu Mengyan to appear here.
Even though she was shocked, she also knew that now was the perfect chance to kill Liu Mengyan.
Su Muyao had already risen and sat on a chair nearby, clutching numerous attack talismans in her hands. Her expression was cold and sharp, her gaze frosty as it fell on Liu Mengyan. She said, "Liu Mengyan, you’re here, so you must have lost another life to get in, right?"
Su Muyao deliberately provoked Liu Mengyan.
She knew what mattered to Liu Mengyan, and only by angering her and making her lose her sanity could she seize the chance to deal with her.
Liu Mengyan listened to these words, as if they had struck a nerve.
Everyone knew she cherished her life, but because she was a Seven-star Spider Beastman with seven lives, she was chosen by her clan for tasks.
She could be sent out of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land by sacrificing her life.
Now, with only three lives left, she had sneaked into the Fox Clan, thinking she could just sacrifice one life to kill Su Muyao, no matter how dangerous it was.
She never expected the defenses here to be so strong.
To get into this room, she had sacrificed two lives.
So Su Muyao’s words pierced Liu Mengyan’s heart like the sharpest needle.
She despised the thought of sacrificing her life.
Now, she had only one life left.
The sacrificial process was excruciating, a pain that only she truly understood.
Moreover, it wasn’t just one life, but two lives at once.
She had lost many lives because of Su Muyao.
At this moment, Liu Mengyan’s rage ignited, and she shouted, "You seek death!"
In an instant, her aura changed due to her inner fury.
She could no longer maintain her composure and just wanted to kill Su Muyao quickly.
Originally, she intended to humiliate Su Muyao with words, but since Su Muyao remained defiant, she would just kill her.
Show her how powerful she was.
She struck quickly, her whole body charging toward Su Muyao like a bolt of lightning, while the spider silk at her fingertips shot out like a hidden weapon, with poison-coated cold glimmers aimed at Su Muyao’s vital points.
Su Muyao had been prepared for this and had already anticipated Liu Mengyan’s moves. Even though she was physically weak, she swiftly shot out several pre-prepared attack talismans with precision.
The attack talismans transformed into waves of assault, carrying lethal moves that charged toward Liu Mengyan.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A burst of explosions echoed in the room.
The attack talismans blocked Liu Mengyan’s spider silk, but she evaded the talismans.
Su Muyao continued to throw attack talismans and Magic Artifacts.
But the spider silk at Liu Mengyan’s fingertips surged, resembling countless white blades that easily shredded all the attack talismans, preventing them from exerting their power.
Su Muyao stared at the unscathed Liu Mengyan, her gaze darkening.
The power of the attack talismans wasn’t small, and she had calculated Liu Mengyan’s strength, enough to kill her.
Even if she couldn’t kill her, she could seriously injure her and then use a sword to finish her off.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mengyan’s sudden surge of power blocked them.
At this moment, Su Muyao noticed that Liu Mengyan’s appearance had changed.
Countless fine black threads appeared on her face, spreading like a spider’s web in an extremely strange manner.
Liu Mengyan looked at Su Muyao and laughed loudly.
Now she could finally deal with Su Muyao.
"Su Muyao, you can’t kill me. Do you think I risked sacrificing two lives just to get in for nothing?"
"That’s because I’m confident I can kill you."
"Do you think the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan is safe? We have our spies here, and turning a few against you was easy."
"Your beloved Beast Husband Xiao Jihan won’t come to save you. One of the elders guarding your son is under the Spider Clan’s secret technique, the Puppetry Technique, and another one was poisoned by this puppet. These two elders consumed elixirs that increased their power several times during battle. Even though they’ll die later, their current strength is formidable, so Xiao Jihan must stay there to save your son."
"And you, I will kill personally."
"These talismans of yours are indeed powerful, comparable to some of my clan’s Magic Artifacts. Unfortunately, my current strength is incomparable to my past self."
As Liu Mengyan spoke, the black spider threads on her face continued to spread, and as they did, her power kept escalating, and her aura became increasingly eerie and cold.
She stared hard at Su Muyao, her eyes filled with endless hatred.
Because of Su Muyao, she had to be sent on tasks.
If she killed her, she could return to the clan and be with him.
"To kill you, I cultivated the Insect Clan’s secret technique. This technique is why the Insect Clan was sealed in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land by the Witch Clan."
"But not everyone in my clan was guilty, yet we were sealed."
"Since we were sealed for it, why shouldn’t I learn it?"
"I’ve devoured many fellow beastmen to forcibly elevate my realm. Haha, you deserve to die."
At that moment, the two were still fiercely battling, as Liu Mengyan madly escalated her strength to counterattack, breaking through the attack talismans and Su Muyao’s defensive Magic Artifacts.
She hadn’t expected Su Muyao, even in her weakened state, to have so many life-saving Magic Treasures.
Even the aura from the crushed elixir was poisonous, but thankfully, she was now immune to all poisons.
As Su Muyao listened to her words, her face suddenly darkened.
Of course, she knew this Secret Technique. Back then, the Insect Clan Beastmen truly used this Secret Technique to harm countless tribes and innocent beastmen, which led to the Witch Clan sealing them in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.
Previously, when she was at the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe, that Lin Zhuang wanted to sacrifice Golden Lion Beastmen to boost his strength.
But they interrupted it. At that time, Lin Zhuang confessed that this Secret Technique was taught by Liu Mengyan, but the array was not yet mature and still in exploration.
Seeing Liu Mengyan now, could it be that this Secret Technique has matured and they can use it freely?
If so, the Insect Clan cannot be released.
Regarding the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, Su Muyao hadn’t had the chance to ask Jing Chu yet.
She knew the Nine Netherworld Lotus Jing Chu obtained came from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land. He had been there.
She thought that after refining the elixir, she would have time to ask him about these things. Unexpectedly, before she could, things spiraled out of control, especially with Nan Feng leading an attack, and Jing Chu needed to stop them.
Su Muyao’s heart was chaotic for a moment, but she tried to stay calm and rational.
Not just herself, but her son’s safety was at stake; she had to protect him.
After Liu Mengyan finished, she looked at Su Muyao as if looking at a dead person.
After her power surged, the spider silk threads broke through Su Muyao’s layers of attacks and arrays, ready to strike her down.
At this critical moment, no matter how much Su Muyao catalyzed her superpower, it was of no use.
The system seemed to be asleep, not waking no matter how she called it.
Just at this desperate moment, the previously turbulent egg on the bed suddenly burst forth with radiant light.
A tremendous power erupted from the egg, carrying a terrifying aura, like the primordial flood at the creation of the world, without any embellishments, just the most simple and direct strike, carrying sharp killing intent, directly attacking Liu Mengyan.
