59. Turn Back and Fight

In a daze, Yueguan and Ghost even suspected that the Pope had activated the Spirit Avatar and summoned the spiders in the secret room to torment them.

No one present, except for 5he two Titled Douluo, knew the power of this creature in combat better than them

With the same age, the Death Spider Emperor was no weaker than the Titan Giant Ape, and perhaps even stronger.

The main reason was the death spider emperor's potent toxicity. If touched inadvertently, even ordinary soul masters would be corroded into dry bones, leaving no trace behind.

The best solution was to act swiftly, using a knife to cut a wide arc around the affected area, and then discarding the flesh and blood. That way, a life could be saved.

So, needless to say, neither Ghost nor Yueguan wanted to experience the venom of this creature.

Many soul saints also snapped out of their extraordinary shock, hastily dressing up and pushing open the tent door. What greeted their eyes was the approaching swarm of insects.

Although the swarm of insects seemed distant and their traveling speed didn't appear fast, everyone knew it was just a visual illusion.

If it truly looked fast, they would be swallowed without even a chance to react. What should they do? Many soul saints turned their gaze towards the two titled Douluo, Yueguan and Ghost.

In a crisis, the importance of strong individuals became evident. Yueguan looked at the seemingly endless swarm of insects, and his heart sank.

There were two options before him:

Option 1: Hold the ground, maximize cooperation and strength, and force the swarm to change its direction.

Option 2: Avoid the swarm's edge and rely on the larger number of senior spirit masters in the team to break through first.

Which one to choose?

Yueguan instinctively glanced at the expressionless Ghost, hoping to hear the old man's opinion. Unfortunately, Ghost didn't respond to Yueguan at all.

"Lu Yuan! Come here! Quickly!" Hu Liena vigorously waved her hand. The boy who had just stepped out of the tent seemed momentarily startled but reacted swiftly, taking two steps and already standing beside the girl.

Xieyue looked at Lu Yuan with mixed emotions on his face, hesitant to speak.

"I truly have no idea about this," the young man's lips trembled slightly as he whispered faintly, his words reaching Xie Yue's ears.

Startled, Xie Yue tried his best to conceal his expression, turning his head away and avoiding looking at this guy who wanted to pry into people's hearts.

A spirit skill of a disgusting person paired with someone of questionable character; such a combination was bound to disgust anyone.

No one liked having their mind read. Xie Yue was no exception.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the approaching swarm of insects, Yueguan couldn't afford to wait and observe any longer. He was forced to make a decision: avoid the edge!

The lives of over twenty spirit saints and the golden generation of the Spirit Hall were at stake. If all of them were to perish here today, Yueguan felt that both he and Ghost should consider sacrificing themselves to spare them from suffering.

It had to be said that this elite team from the Spirit Hall was highly efficient in execution.

As soon as the order was given, the formation was set up, and they began their advance.

Tents, bonfires, and even drinks were all abandoned without hesitation. Nothing was more precious than life.

If anything else held value, it was one's own life above all!

Boom!

Golden flames suddenly erupted within the swarm of insects. The intense light and heat instantly turned these hundred-year-old soul beasts into ashes.

Fortunately, this was only the aftermath of the attack.

The main damage was inflicted upon the unsuspecting Death Spider Emperor. The price paid was another scar on the body of the Death Spider Emperor.

It was difficult to discern whether it was pain or fear. The Death Spider Emperor let out a piercing scream, and the speed of the insect swarm increased significantly in a short period.

Accompanied by this surge, the speed of the Death Spider Emperor also accelerated. However, this became a hindrance for the members of the Spirit Hall who were trying to run ahead.

Spirit power was not an unlimited resource. It couldn't be replenished like gold after it was depleted.

It was fortunate that the martial spirits of the team members were oriented towards agility and attack, but there were two spirit masters specialized in defense.

They expended a considerable amount of spirit power, occasionally even unleashing bursts of power. Before long, the speed of the two defensive soul saints involuntarily slowed down. And the consequences of slowing down.....

Silently looking back at the two massive piles of worms, Hu Liena shuddered and increased her pace by two points.

"How much spirit power do you have left?" Ghost asked.

Hearing the question, Xie Yue instinctively estimated the amount of spirit power remaining in his body and replied, "I still have about 30% left."

To be honest, this level of consumption was already quite significant. However, it seemed even more favorable at this critical moment.

As a quasi-Spirit Sect member, Xie Yue maintained an average speed compared to a spirit sage on the road. Despite a few soul sages losing their soul power and falling behind, Xie Yue still had approximately 30% of his soul power remaining.

The Golden Generation lived up to their reputation.

Under normal circumstances, Ghost would have praised Xie Yue, but unfortunately, his mood at the moment was far from that.

Letting out a silent sigh, Ghost's lips moved slightly.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, Xie Yue still has about 30% of his soul power left."

Yueguan's expression changed slightly, and without bothering to perform any hand gestures, he asked in a low voice, "How much soul power do you have left?"

"Close to 30%."

"Over 30%."

Yan and Hu Liena replied respectively.

Yueguan fell silent and discreetly sent a message to Ghost: "What do you intend to do?"

"Of course, we'll take down the big one first."

Casting a cold glance at the repulsive giant spider relentlessly pursuing them, Ghost's complexion turned even darker.

Escaping was not an option. At the very least, not for now.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had little soul power remaining in their bodies. If they continued fleeing like this, they might lose even the most basic ability to survive!

Even if the team disbanded, as long as these three could safely survive, they would not be punished upon their return to the Spirit Hall.

At most, they might receive a few scathing remarks. Not to mention, Title Douluo also had their pride. If they weren't restrained, a 50,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor wouldn't even be worthy of standing before the two of them!

Using a martial spirit fusion skill, they could easily crush this Death Spider Emperor into a meatloaf.

Moreover, both Yueguan and Ghost were aware that some spirit beasts were blindly obedient. Blind obedience was particularly evident among creatures of the same kind.

A 50,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor was likely the core of this swarm. Once this core was destroyed, the swarm would lose its ability to receive accurate and consistent orders!

At that point, there was a high probability that many swarms would fight amongst themselves, and the breathless members of the Spirit Hall would scatter them like loose sand.

"Nana, from this moment on, you will assume the role of captain," Yueguan suddenly announced.

His voice, amplified by his soul power, spread instantly throughout the team.

Without giving Hu Liena time to refuse or room for deliberation, Yueguan turned around and plunged directly into the swarm of insects alongside Ghost.

"As the chrysanthemums shatter, wounds spread everywhere, and flowers crumble!"

Huge golden chrysanthemums emerged behind Yueguan.

Each petal resembled a sharp blade, constantly rotating and converging with other equally sharp petals, forming a golden tornado of blades.

Wherever it passed, the swarm was crushed into a bloody rain and fragments of flesh, as if thrown into a meat grinder.

The momentum of the insect swarm came to a halt.

But when the Death Spider Emperor's roar resounded once again, the swarm of insects gritted their teeth and continued their relentless advance.

"What a bunch of impolite little things," an expression of morbid sorrow appeared on Yueguan's face, quickly turning into resentment. He cast a glance at the gigantic Death Spider Emperor and stifled a chuckle.

"Then let's eliminate this old bastard!"
