Both Qianli and Xu Ten turned to each other and nodded
The third part of the plan begins now!
Earlier, Qianli explained to Xu Ten some characteristics about the Queen that only she knows.
According to the books she has read, when the earthen spider Queen breakthrough the master realm, they gain a skill.
The eye of discernment
It is a skill that locks onto someone, and slowly absorbs the Qi of the target.
The Qi of the victim is transferred to the Queen and change into life force.
----------------------------------------
Xu Ten was frightened.
The queen's eye didn't lock on him, it instead chooses Qianli.
The reasoning of the Queen has quite simple actually. For her, the most dangerous opponent was Qianli since her corrosive power stopped her regeneration, if the fight continues on, even if she wins it will be at a terrible cost since her wound couldn't close and the blood kept flowing the entire time.
She may need a month to recover her vitality.
Qianli didn't even bother to turn to face the queen, she continued to inscribe the formation.
" Hahaha human, you will die soon enough and I'll recover my vitality. Then this worm who is facing me will soon have the same fate as ... eh??! "
The queen sensed something wrong, normally the Qi should be absorbed from Qianli, but instead, she sensed nothing!
Her skill was not working!
The skill cannot be used excessively, moreover, the truth is that for Qianli it was useless.
The truth is that against Qianli it was useless.
Why is that? It's because when one reaches the immortal stage, his true Qi is protected by divine essence!
Although Qianli was only a pseudo-immortal since she has their longevity but not their power, her true Qi was still not something that a mortal beast could steal and fed upon it.
The Queen was mad; she continued to launch attacks on Xu Ten.
Xu Ten shouted: " Qianli, Don't over exert yourself! "
Qianli didn't reply she continued doing her work.
....
----------------------------------------
3 minutes passed!
Qianli turned around and then said " Leader Xu, it's time! "
Xu Ten rejoiced instantly if it had been another 10 seconds he would undoubtedly die!
He turned around and fled out of the circle.
" I WON'T LET YOU GO!!! "
The Queen Pursuid Xu Ten madly, Xu Ten narrowed his eyes slightly, he had to come out of the circle but the Queen's speed was on pair with him.
Then suddenly flying daggers with lightning sparks shot toward the Queen's back.
It didn't hurt her, but it stopped her movements for a moment.
The Queen screamed " WHO'S THERE!! "
Xu Ten who just got out turned around and saw the daggers on her back. He instantly understood and said with a beaming smile " Nice one brother Lei, just in time! "
Qianli then shouted " Intermediate formation: Petrification! "
The Queen howled " Humans I WILL N...."
The Queen stopped moving, time itself stopped moving inside the formation!
Both leader Xu and Lei Zhu were astonished.
The heck? Such a formation exist??!!
Qianli who's hand was stuck on the ground feeding the formation shouted " Hurry up and kill her!! "
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
They woke up from their trance and hurriedly entered the formation.
The formation only stopped the movements of those who were already inside of it before the activation, for those who entered after it didn't have any effect at all.
But Qianli was feeding it, so her complexion turned pale at every second passing!
Xu Ten and Lei Zhu launched attack after attack, but whenever they cut her body, it regenerated instantly
Qianli narrowed her eyes, and said in a low voice " Coult it be...." She then shouted at the confused duo "Leader Xu, brother Lei, take down her head! "
Both of them launched their strongest attack on the Queen's head
----------------------------------------
" hahaha.... "
Leader Xu was out of breath, the same goes for Lei Zhu, they had a hint of a smile on their face.
" The fu*k why have I never heard of this ability before??!! "
Qianli who barely could move due to the exhaustion of her Qi, went near the body of the Queen to inspect her head.
She then put her hand on the Queen's forehead where the attack connected and thrust till her reached the insides.
Xu Ten nearly vomited....
The heck are you doing? Lost a coin inside??!!
Qianli ignored his complaints and continued to search inside of the head until she grabbed something.
In her bloodied arm she opened her palm, and when she saw what she grabbed she couldn't help but shake in fear.
" Fallen Star seed! No that's impossible! "
She remembered one of the times when her master showed her a true treasure and let her know about some secrets.
----------------------------------------
" Qianli, in the countless planes of this universe, since the start of time, seven heaven-defying treasures made their appearance.... "
" Whenever one of these true treasures made an appearance, a calamity followed. "
Qianli who at that time didn't quite understands asked while pointing her small finger" But master, the sword in your hand ... "
The master laughed " Hahaha you guessed right, this sword was bestowed to me by the previous war god. It is meant to protect the Emperor of the high heavens. Its name is the Dragon God's sword, as it names says it belonged to the first leader of the 4 divine beasts clan who protected the jade emperor a long time ago. "
" But master, you just said that a calamity will.... "
The master cut her sentence and answered " Yes, that is true. But it all depends on who and for what reason it is used."
" For example, let's make an assumption that this sword was in the hands of the shura emperor. Our own Heavenly plane would be in danger, and a war will break out between the Demon and the Heaven plane for the supremacy of the seven divine planes and the mortal planes. "
" Anyway, here is the list of the name and characteristics of the 7 true treasures that appeared before, if you ever come across one of them, you ... "
----------------------------------------
Qianli couldn't believe it, how was it possible that one of the 7 true treasures was on this mortal plane.
She decided to hide it in her interspatial ring for now. Then she turned around and saw the questioning face of her leader.
" What is it sister Qianli, did you find something? "
She answered " No... nothing interesting... ", then she turned her head and saw Lei Zhu was quietly watching the corpse of the Queen, his eyes were fixing the leg wound that was corroded.
" .... "
He kept his mouth closed and turned to look at Qianli with a serious expression.
Qianli was at first surprised then she retracted her power before leader Xu notices.
Then they turned around and walked toward the entrance...
----------------------------------------
The other teammates already left the mine to somewhere safe.
The plan was to attract the attention of the spiders, not to fight them, so as leader Xu and Qianli finish off the Queen.
So they delayed the army of earthen spiders with guerilla tactics.
Even so, they nearly died, even the brother Dugu got hit by the poisonous thorn of one of those spiders hiding underneath the earth while protecting the others.
Without Qianli it was difficult to locate them. But since they just had to delay them and run away, it made the mission possible.
When the Queen died, the submission put on the mind of the thousands of spiders vanished. Without a leader they were afraid, so they ran off from the mountains.
When Leader Xu, Lei Zhu, and Qianli finally left the mine, they heaved a relieved sigh.
Leader Xu was shouldering Qianli who had a pale face since she was exhausted.
" Leader! " The alchemist shouted when he spotted the group.
" Ah... you're all here saf... "
Just as he was about to say the world safe, he saw the body of his brother in arm Dugu who had his eyes closed but wore a painful expression on his face. Blood was starting to flow from his nose, eyes, and ears.
" WH-WHAT HAPPENED??!! "
Yao Lan who was shaking at the corner opened her lips and said in a low voice " H-he.... he protected me ... But he... "
She didn't continue speaking, instead, tears came out from her eyes and she started crying.
" Don't fret! Brother Tong, could you perhaps ... " Leader Xu turned around to ask the alchemist
The alchemist shook his head and said " No... I already used all the ingredients earlier when concocting the pills, and I don't have any poison dissipating pill anymore... "
Hearing this leader Xu frowned
He suddenly turned around and look at Qianli with a trace of hope on his face.
This youth managed to create miracle after miracle during this days, perhaps she was able to help them once more.
Qianli understood his intentions, but she didn't want to respond immediately.
She remembered one of the quotes of her master. He once told her that in the path of cultivation, they were something called a choice.
She asked herself inwardly, was it worth it?
Seeing her struggle, Yao Lan asked with pleading eyes: "I beg you help him!!! "
Qianli was weak against this sort of attitude, she decided to help him.
She took out the seed and placed it on top of Dugu's body.
Nevermind, even though you are a true treasure and many will kill to obtain you. In my eyes, you are worthless, if I can't save my friends then what is the use of holding you....
As if hearing her complaints, the Fallen star seed started to glow with a crimson light.
In an instant, the poisonous wound closed up and the bleeding stopped.
But what was most surprising was that after this miraculous healing, the seed floated in the air and rotated very fast.
" What are you... "
Qianli was surprised, but in the next instant, the seed penetrated her forehead with an incredible speed.
" Qianli!" The members shouted in unison.
Qianli had her eyes closed for a moment, then she opened them and said in a low astonished voice " Absolute submission... But why?! "
