Chapter 104: Chapter 84: Enhanced Vision, Bullet Time

The exaggerated number of them was enough to make one’s scalp tingle at a single glance.

After finishing this, the White-faced Spider didn’t even spare Lu Chen another glance, turning to flee toward the upper level of the subway.

Undoubtedly, her goal was incredibly simple: to use her kin to delay Lu Chen, buying herself enough time to escape!

Watching the fleeing White-faced Spider, a cyan light flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes. The next second, his body dissolved into an afterimage as he charged toward the Jade-faced Spider.

The Jade-faced Spider, who had already run a fair distance, glanced back and was so terrified that she nearly stumbled. If she didn’t have eight legs, she might have staggered and fallen to the ground.

Fortunately, this was still the lair she had built, and the number of her kin inside was not small. If Lu Chen wanted to catch up to her, he would first have to deal with the dense tide of Parasitic Spiders and over a hundred Spider-faced Men. Only then could he pose a threat to her.

Given the narrow and long terrain of the underground passage, even if these Spider-faced Men stood completely still and let him hack at them, it would still take him a significant amount of time. She refused to believe this wouldn’t give her enough time to escape!

Thinking of this, the Jade-faced Spider, who was already nearing the subway stairs, turned her head to shoot Lu Chen a mocking look. It was as if she were saying, "Just take your time playing with my kin here; your big sister is leaving first!"

However, the White-faced Spider’s smile did not last long. Just as she thought she was on the verge of escaping, Lu Chen made his move.

"ROAR!"

In the chaotic space of the subway, a deafening Dragon Roar suddenly echoed.

The penetrating force of that Dragon Roar was so immense that the Parasitic Spiders within a ten-meter Fang Yuan of Lu Chen were instantly shocked to death. Even the Spider-faced Men who hadn’t been killed outright suffered severe injuries, collapsing to the ground clutching their heads as they shrieked in agony. And this was merely the commotion caused by Lu Chen unsheathing his sword.

Lu Chen immediately burst into action. The Sword Qi around his body transformed into a silver-white Flood Dragon. Within the narrow confines of the subway passage, this Flood Dragon seemed utterly invincible. It easily shattered the Hundred Twists and Thousand Threads laid down by the White-faced Spider, before crushing every Parasitic Spider and Spider-faced Man in its path. With ferocious momentum, it lunged toward the White-faced Spider, who already had half a foot on the second floor of the subway station.

Seeing this, the White-faced Spider didn’t dare linger on the stairs any longer. Using every ounce of her Strength, she scrambled frantically and barely managed to crawl out of the subway passage.

But just as she tried to make a break for the tunnel leading to the surface, a terrifying pressure bore down on her from behind.

Panic-stricken, the White-faced Spider looked back, only to see a silver-white Flood Dragon twisting its body as it charged up the stairs from below. The Sword Qi Flood Dragon was so lifelike that the White-faced Spider genuinely had the illusion she was facing an Ancient Flood Dragon.

Staring at Lu Chen, who was positioned at the head of the Sword Qi Flood Dragon and thrusting his sword straight at her, she knew she couldn’t escape. After all, shaking Lu Chen off in this situation and running across the subway hall to reach the surface was nothing short of a pipe dream. With her retreat cut off, the White-faced Spider was left with only one option: a desperate, life-and-death struggle.

Thinking of this, a trace of madness flashed through the White-faced Spider’s eyes.

"Don’t look down on your big sister, Human Race boy!"

She turned around, instantly raising six of her spider legs to protect her head. Immediately after, those spider legs, which rivaled a Cultivator’s Magical Artifact, were coated in a First Level of special white jade-colored crystal. They intertwined and stacked together, forming a unique White Jade Shield.

The very moment this White Jade Shield was formed, Lu Chen’s Sword Qi Flood Dragon roared right up to her.

BOOM!

The Sword Qi Flood Dragon clashed against the White Jade Shield. The collision instantly generated a massive cyclone that swept outward in all directions. Immediately following the cyclone was a terrifying sound that made the entire subway station tremble!

CRASH...

Amidst this astonishing commotion, countless glass panels in the subway station shattered into pieces. A massive amount of floor tiles were ripped up, and countless debris fell from the ceiling, kicking up thick clouds of dust. The figures of Lu Chen and the White-faced Spider were completely obscured, making it impossible to see the final outcome.

A moment later, just as the dust began to settle, a shrill, maniacal voice suddenly echoed through the quiet subway hall.

"Ha, hahaha! It’s me, I won!"

Through the hazy dust, the White-faced Spider stared at Lu Chen’s Magic Sword, which had shattered into powder. Her face was written with the sheer joy of surviving a disaster. Although her six legs were covered in cracks, compared to the unarmed Lu Chen, they were still fully functional!

Thinking of this, the White-faced Spider couldn’t help but say in her heart, "It was so close, so close.

"If Lu Chen’s Magic Sword hadn’t been unable to withstand his own sharp Sword Qi at the very last moment, shattering on the spot, I might have truly been decapitated by a single strike.

"Although there is a lot of Luck involved, Luck... is also a part of Power!"

When a Sword Cultivator lost their weapon, what difference was there between them and a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?

Looking at the weaponless Lu Chen, who stood expressionless just three steps away from her, the White-faced Spider couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"Human Race boy, you are strong. Truly strong.

"But Luck... is on my side!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the White-faced Spider prepared to deliver the final blow to Lu Chen. Yet, to her surprise, Lu Chen slowly raised his right leg, assuming a highly familiar posture before her eyes.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the White-faced Spider’s face froze on the spot, and the joy in her eyes was instantly replaced by terror.
