Son Of The Spirit Beast 92 The One Who Hides Behind The Curtains Vs. Bao Bei

An enormous purple spider of a hundred meters in size and a human being about six and a half feet high. The two were facing each other in the air at tens of meters from the ground. They were above the lake sh.o.r.e, where Gaiya had created a protective petal-shaped veil to s.h.i.+eld those present from the spirit power undulations generated by the two.

Yes, because despite the enormous difference in size, the pressure of spirit power emitted by both was equally intense. Therefore, even just standing still at that point made it impossible to witness the clash closely without that protective veil that served as a s.h.i.+eld.

The eight purple eyes of Bao Bei were fixed on the human being in front of her. The hairs on her spider's body swayed in unison at the slightest movement, picking up every sound within her range of perception.

At the time, she was taking large gulps of air to regulate her breathing and her heartbeat. The battle she was about to undertake now was the most important battle of her life.

Yes. Because, even though Bao Bei said she wanted to punish him for what he had done, this wasn't just a battle to get her revenge. No, not anymore. With the presence of her cubs, especially Hei, this had become a battle to protect their future and give them a chance. Fighting to give to the future generations a chance, just as his beloved had done a hundred thousand years ago.

'Hei An, look at me. I will protect our treasures with the power you granted me.'

At that point, amid the dead silence that dwelt in the Crossroad Lake, the body of Bao Bei suddenly snapped forward.

Snap! Boom! Screech!

The next instant, after her body moved, Bao Bei appeared before the human in front of her. One of her eight legs snapped powerfully aiming to stab him, but the man simply parried with his spear.

The contact between the leg and the lance generated a crazy roar that immediately gave way to an earsplitting screech. Bao Bei's leg was pus.h.i.+ng the human martial artist away from the lake sh.o.r.e in the direction of the center. Even with Gaiya to protect them, Bao Bei couldn't help but worry about the safety of her family. So, she decided to move the fight away from them, but close enough so they could look at it safely.

Meanwhile, the various sect leaders and elders who had distanced themselves for fear of becoming a lifeless body without being able to react, approached the lake again, rejoining their disciples. Among these, the Flower Sect group was also present.

Fortunately, they were among the most distant from the lake when that mysterious man appeared. As a result, they had saved themselves from that terrible unprecedented slaughter. And now they were going to their disciples to see the conditions they were in.

Zan, Cao Su, Li, Mei, and Ying Yue were all on the floor looking baffled at the scene above them unfolding. They were a few yards from Hei and Lian, so they too were able to look at everything that had happened since their arrival here.

The sect leader and the other elders reached them immediately and were preparing to treat them instantly. Even though they weren't dying, they still reported significant injuries, which needed immediate treatment to avoid more severe consequences.

"Master, you're here. Hei, he..." Mei tried to talk, but the sect leader, her teacher, replied to her disciple with a smile.

"Don't talk; you're hurt. Just lie down for now. As for Hei, leave him alone for now."

Right. Although the sect leader and the other elders had a myriad of questions to ask Hei, she knew that he wouldn't respond now. All his concentration was directed at observing the battle that was taking place in the middle of the lake. There was no way he would pay attention to them. It was as if a big wall separated him and Lian from the rest of the people there. A wall that for them from outside wasn't possible to climb over. Perhaps this was the difference between those destined for great things and those who occupied only a marginal role in the limitless history of the world?

Bao Bei's attack had managed to fulfill her intent, and the two were in the middle of the lake. The man strangely hadn't opposed much resistance to that displacement, simply blocking Bao Bei's leg to avoid being skewered.

"Don't get any weird ideas. You know I don't give a d.a.m.n about those beings there. The only reason why I let you make me move away from there is that otherwise, you wouldn't have fought at full strength. And that's not what I want. I want you to fight to the maximum of your strength and to understand that even putting your whole self into it, for you, there isn't any possibility of victory. That yours is nothing but a senseless suicidal attempt like the one that made that idiot one hundred thousand years ago."

"I know, I know you are abominable. It would never pa.s.s me through my mind that you could have merciful intentions towards another being. But you're wrong about one thing. This confrontation isn't useless. During our life, we ​​are all destined to die, but it doesn't mean that we must not fight against the adversities that fall on us. Even if it isn't possible to achieve victory for oneself, the mere act of opposing beings can become a possibility for the future. A HOPE for those who will carry on our struggle. But that is something that someone like you who only knows how to destroy all types of life near you cannot understand."

"Hope? Even that idiot had mumbled something about it. No, I'm not stupid enough to believe nonsense like that. Hope? Love? Compa.s.sion? What will they ever be useful for? They are only useless baggage that weighs you down and, after getting rid of them, I gained an unstoppable power. From being a mere mortal being, bound by the laws of the world, I have transcended into a higher being. I have become a G.o.d."

"You say you are a G.o.d, but you are forced to steal other people's bodies like a thief. Moreover, one hundred thousand years ago, those you call useless baggage stopped you at the end. Or am I wrong? Hei An's HOPE managed to stop you and gave me a chance for the future. And now the time has come to give HOPE to someone else and give a chance to the future."

"Hahaha, do you really think you can stop me? True, that idiot snake managed to stop me at that time. But at what price? Despite having sacrificed all his companions, he only succeeded in delaying my plans a little. Do you really believe that you, with your meager strength, may be able to do the same?"

"Yes, remember. Never underestimate a woman, and above all, never underestimate a mother. When it comes to protecting those we love, there is n.o.body we can defeat."

Bao Bei then proceeded to attack. The chattering time was over. All that was missing was to break down the enemy in front of her.

Her eight legs snapped at crazy speeds against the human martial artist. In an instant, more than a dozen shots had been thrown by the divine beast spider. And yet, the man had accurately parred every hit. Unlike before, he wasn't being pushed back with each parry.

The two then began a kind of deadly dance, where at each strike, they produced dazzling sparks that illuminated their position. Instead of standing still at one point to exchange shots, the two fighters were moving at high speed along the entire surface of the lake. It was crazy how the two could throw such quick and precise hits as they were flying at high speed in the air.

This dance lasted for several minutes. Neither seemed to prevail over the other or slow down the pace. Perhaps, if it hadn't been for their desire to kill the other being before them, they could have gone on like this forever.

Understanding that they couldn't win that way, the spider and the human being separated after that intense exchange of blows.

"Spear Intent. Annihilation Spear!"

The two-meter spear in his hands was filled with his spirit power. Then a sharp light emerged from the tip of the spear in the direction of Bao Bei, which was about ten meters away.

"Spider Lance."

Bao Bei responded by bending backward one of her legs and then bringing it forward and destroying the attack of condensed spirit power that approached her.

Boom!

Another sound of an explosion resounded violently. Bao Bei's leg had managed to block that attack, and she didn't appear to have suffered any injury. Seeing this, the man smiled to himself: as expected from a divine beast, they had a really tough body. But despite this, he didn't seem very worried.

"Poison Law. Poisonous Annihilation Spear!"

This time, a purple gleam covered the lance that prepared itself to strike again. As before, the tip emitted a sharp spirit power wave light. The difference, however, was that the Law of Poison had been added to that attack.

Bao Bei didn't worry at all about the new attack. Raising one of her legs again, she prepared to block again.

"Law of Poison, Poison Coating. Poisonous Spider Lance."

Boom!

This time, purple sparks flew everywhere as the poison contained in the attacks dispersed like gas into the external environment. At that point, Bao Bei, who only had blocked during these two attacks, went on the offensive.

"Law of Illusion. Senses Disruption!"

Suddenly the spirit power of Bao Bei increased, but no flashy technique came out, like the energy attacks that man had used before. From the outside, it looked like she had failed, failing to activate her technique. Yet, was it really like that? A sixth-level divine beast, a powerhouse of this world had made such an amateur mistake?

No, it wasn't possible. There was no way it was true. Unless it was intentional, Bao Bei would never have failed to activate one of her techniques. Not to mention when it came to her innate Law, the Law of Illusions.

It should be known that the Law of Illusions was divided into two categories: external illusions and internal illusions.

The first, as the name implies, focused on creating illusions, generating things that didn't exist. The illusion used on bandits during the attack on the Leaf Village was a kind of external illusion. Those people had indeed been placed inside a nightmare, imagining themselves to be submerged by an infinity of small spiders. They were so desperate to the point of committing suicide as they scratched themselves in the attempt to shake off the spiders.

The latter instead consisted of disorienting the senses of the opponent: the direction of the sounds they heard, the type of color they visualized, the temperature they perceived, and so on. Although they weren't able to generate things from nothing like the external ones, internal illusions were considered more subtle and dangerous because they were more tricky to perceive and block.

An Illusion Law expert, in addition to making real what wasn't, was able to make their opponent fall into their illusion without realizing it. Instead of making strange images appear to him, they would have altered the enemy's perception by a tiny fraction, making it almost impossible, without a lot of experience, to understand that he/she was being manipulated. And this tiny change in perception would then become the s.p.a.ce used by the user of the Law of Illusions to hit and take home the victory.

Bao Bei arrived in front of the human martial artist and launched her blow. Her leg again encountered the enemy's spear. Or so it was what the human thought when he threw his spear forward.

Slas.h.!.+

Suddenly, a tremendous force appeared behind his back, causing him to fly tens of meters in the air before stabilizing himself. From his astonished face, it was clear that he hadn't realized how he had been hit. He thought he had blocked, and yet the blow had come over him anyway.

"Law of Illusion!" He said, grinding his teeth after finding the reason behind that attack.

However, he barely had time to say those words that Bao Bei had already arrived behind him.

Slas.h.!.+

Once again, despite having countered his spear in the direction in which he had seen Bao Bei arrive, he had been struck by her long leg. And so, the man was sent again to fly another ten meters.

Nevertheless, regardless of the two heavy blows suffered, the protection of spirit power around his body remained stable and steady as before. It was as if the two shots he had just received were never even landed on his body in the first place.
