Chapter 71 "Intimate Master and Disciple"
Yu Xiaogang's scream echoed through the silent Star Dou Forest, sounding particularly piercing.
Hearing the sound, Flander and Tang San immediately rushed to the edge of the cave and peered down.
The depths of the cave were pitch black; only the vague figure of Yu Xiaogang struggling could be seen.
"Xiaogang! Are you alright?"
Flander shouted anxiously, releasing his martial soul, preparing to jump down to save him.
Tang San, however, stood aside, his eyes cold and stern, showing no intention of intervening.
He scanned the depths of the cave with his Purple Demon Eye, seemingly searching for something.
Because Yu Xiaogang's scream mentioned "ghost," it stirred something within Tang San.
Strange things were not uncommon in the depths of the Star Dou Forest, but anything that could frighten Yu Xiaogang was no ordinary thing.
He guessed it might be some kind of special soul beast.
"Dean Flander, be careful, there might be danger down there," Tang San warned calmly, his tone tinged with coldness.
After all, he would much rather Yu Xiaogang die in the mouth of a soul beast.
Flander nodded, but misunderstood Tang San's meaning and jumped down without hesitation.
His martial soul was a cat-owl, capable of flight and possessing astonishing eyesight.
Looking up, he saw a black spider pinning Yu Xiaogang beneath it.
It opened its mouth and bit down hard on Yu Xiaogang's thigh with a soft "plop."
If Yu Xiaogang hadn't struggled, that bite would have disemboweled him.
"Ah!!!"
Instantly, Yu Xiaogang's scream echoed through the Star Dou Forest, his thigh turning black in an instant.
He struggled painfully on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his voice trembling: "Save...save me...Flander!"
Seeing this, Flander's expression changed drastically, and the pressure of a level 78 Soul Saint erupted instantly.
He flashed forward, about to kill the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, but Tang San stopped him.
"Dean, don't kill it!" Tang San's voice was calm, with a hint of coldness. "I need its spirit ring."
Flander was taken aback, his brows furrowing. "Tang San, Xiao Gang's life is more important! A mere thousand-year spirit ring, I'll find you another one!"You'll never believe why I moved to… KarachiMeetSinglesYou'll never believe why I moved to… KarachiMeetSinglesLooking for someone in Karachi todaySingleflirtLooking for someone in Karachi todaySingleflirt
Tang San shook his head, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Dean, this is a Human-Faced Demon Spider. Its spirit ring is perfect for me; it would be a shame to miss out. Besides, my teacher isn't going to die anytime soon."
Flander was somewhat displeased, but considering Tang San's talent and future potential, he ultimately compromised.
However, he also harbored some anger, which he could only vent on the thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider before him.
With a cold snort, he flashed forward, his claws lashing out from mid-air.
In an instant, his spirit power condensed into a giant eagle claw, instantly grabbing the thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider and violently flinging it away from Yu Xiaogang.
The thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider was utterly unable to withstand the attack of Flander, a Spirit Saint; its rock-hard shell was shattered by a single claw.
Thick, black blood sprayed down from the sky, finally crashing heavily beside Tang San with a thud.
Its eight black spider legs twitched violently a few times before slowing down, clearly on the verge of death.
But Flander had held back, and being a thousand-year-old soul beast with tenacious vitality, it quickly struggled to its feet again.
Several spider eyes gleamed fiercely, and the human face beneath its belly became even more grotesque, letting out a scream.
In the blink of an eye, the Human-Faced Demon Spider pounced on Tang San like a black lightning bolt.
Tang San sneered, confident in his Purple Demon Eye.
However, he forgot that his Purple Demon Eye was only at the microscopic level, unable to fully perceive a fast-moving enemy.
Although the Human-Faced Demon Spider was only a thousand-year-old soul beast, its speed was considerable.
Tang San's Purple Demon Eye could only see afterimages, barely discerning its direction.
"Hmph, so what if it's fast? I still have hidden weapons! Watch me use the Zhuge Crossbow to riddle you with holes!"
Tang San was about to retrieve the Zhuge Crossbow from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night when he suddenly discovered he couldn't open it.
He was shocked, his face changing drastically: "What's going on? Why can't I retrieve the hidden weapon?"
Because Lan Minghua had already materialized the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, and without damaging it, only Lan Minghua could open it.
In the instant he was stunned, the spider legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider pierced towards him like spears. Tang San hurriedly used his Ghost Shadow Steps technique, rolling and dodging in a sorry state, barely avoiding the fatal blow.
He was both shocked and furious; the soul tool Yu Xiaogang had given him was such a poor-quality one, malfunctioning at the crucial moment!
Facing the Man-Faced Demon Spider's renewed attack, Tang San shouted urgently, "Dean Flander, save me!"
Seeing this, Flander immediately intervened.
He moved like lightning, instantly appearing behind the Man-Faced Demon Spider and striking out with his palm.
In an instant, his soul power erupted, slamming the spider to the ground, completely incapacitating it.
Tang San didn't hesitate, finishing off the spider.
Having dealt with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing soul rings.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang's screams grew weaker and weaker; the poison had spread to his groin. Without an antidote, he would soon lose his manhood.
Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, and his breathing was rapid.
Seeing this, Flander quickly said, "Tang San, I know you understand poison, please save Xiao Gang!"
Tang San didn't even look up, his tone indifferent: "Dean, I must absorb the spirit ring immediately, otherwise its power will weaken, which will affect me. As for my teacher, I can't cure him right now either. Perhaps I can use my new spirit skill to help him after I absorb the spirit ring."
Flander frowned, unsure if Tang San was telling the truth, and felt somewhat displeased.
After all, Yu Xiao Gang was his old comrade-in-arms.
But to appease Tang San, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and turned to Yu Xiao Gang: "Xiao Gang, just hang in there a little longer, Tang San will be better soon."
Yu Xiao Gang gritted his teeth, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
He was still quite conscious and, knowing Tang San's character, guessed that Tang San didn't want to save him at all, and might even wish for his death.
After all, he had lied to Tang San, and given Tang San's vengeful nature, he certainly wouldn't be without resentment towards him.
However, the poison was already spreading to his upper body, and if it wasn't treated soon, he would surely die.
"Flander, cut off my leg!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and resolute.
Flander was stunned: "What? Cut off your leg?"
"Quick! If you don't cut it off, I'll die!" Yu Xiaogang roared, his eyes filled with despair.
Flander hesitated for a moment, watching the speed at which the poison was spreading, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
He gathered his soul power, and with a swift movement, he severed Yu Xiaogang's poisoned left leg in an instant.
"Ah!"
Yu Xiaogang let out a shrill scream, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Flander quickly helped him stop the bleeding, otherwise he would bleed to death.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang San successfully absorbed the soul ring of the Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider and slowly stood up.
He glanced over, wanting to see if Yu Xiaogang was dead.
However, he quickly discovered that Yu Xiaogang had only lost a leg and was not in any immediate danger.
Tang San was very disappointed, and then pretended to step forward.
"Oh dear, teacher, why were you so impulsive? After I absorbed the spirit ring, I could have used my new spirit skill to help you detoxify. Why didn't you wait for me?"
Yu Xiaogang struggled to open his eyes, forcing a smile. "It's alright, it's alright. I'm just happy that you absorbed a suitable spirit ring."
However, deep in his eyes was resentment.
He knew that Tang San didn't want to save him at all, and might even have planned all of this long ago.
Tang San also knew perfectly well that Yu Xiaogang had discovered his actions.
But for the sake of reputation and profit, the master and disciple could only continue the act.
Flander, watching this harmonious scene, nodded in satisfaction.
He felt that he had both helped Tang San and saved Yu Xiaogang, a clever way to please both sides.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, who had parted ways with Tang San under the pretext of fearing the Star Dou Great Forest, returned to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. With
a mournful face, she cried out to the Lake of Life, "Da Ming, Er Ming is dead!"
