Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8476: Retreat (1)

Leng Feng glanced at Da Jiu Chi's face and let out a cold snort. "Alright, I've been eager to test the Gu techniques from the Poisonous Bug Valley. Let's go." With those words, he flicked the flag he held. Abruptly, a dark cloud materialized overhead. Spanning several mu, this cloud plummeted straight down, enveloping Leng Feng completely.

Da Jiu Chi responded with his own cold snort. He swept his hand, summoning a dark fog that swirled around him. The fog expanded rapidly. At the same time, a humming noise filled the air. Observers soon realized the fog consisted of ant-sized insects. This revelation stunned the crowd. The faces of the rogue cultivators twisted in alarm as they scattered in all directions.

Zhao Hai had no plans to dive into the fight. He simply shifted a few steps aside. Right then, the Dark Wind Sect disciples sprang into action, encircling him. Zhao Hai eyed the Dark Wind Sect followers and grinned. "No need to tense up, folks. I'm not attempting an escape. I just prefer not getting caught in the crossfire. We ought to pull back a bit. If those two clash for real, it'll be risky standing here."

The Dark Wind Sect disciples remained rooted in place. Yet Zhao Hai detected a trace of uncertainty in their stance. He flashed another smile and backed away. Sure enough, the Dark Wind Sect disciples appeared more at ease. They trailed after Zhao Hai, keeping him hemmed in, but allowed his withdrawal without interference.

Both Da Jiu Chi and Leng Feng naturally noticed Zhao Hai's maneuvers. Da Jiu Chi's features twisted oddly upon seeing them. He found Zhao Hai's composure unnervingly steady. Even in this moment, no sign of anxiety showed on him. It defied all reason.

Leng Feng huffed but held his tongue. He understood full well that Da Jiu Chi posed a formidable challenge. As one of the Poisonous Bug Valley's renowned true disciples, Da Jiu Chi was no pushover. Taking him on demanded every ounce of effort. But if they both unleashed their maximum power, it could endanger his junior brother. That outcome was unacceptable. Thus, though Zhao Hai's moves irked him somewhat, Leng Feng stayed silent.

Zhao Hai halted only after pulling back several miles. He gazed at the standoff between the two and let out a soft sigh. He realized defending this spot today would demand a fierce clash. Moreover, a growing throng of unaffiliated cultivators had assembled nearby. They watched him with predatory intent, eager to seize him. Only the might of the Dark Wind Sect held them at bay. This time around, he'd need to exert himself fully.

Suddenly, Leng Feng issued another cold snort and struck first. The dark cloud roiled, birthing a massive black python that lunged at Da Jiu Chi. These serpents appeared vividly alive. Their scales and veins stood out sharply, while their crimson eyes gleamed with icy menace.

Da Jiu Chi grunted lowly and shaped a hand seal. A intense buzzing erupted from the dark fog encircling him. Moments later, the fog morphed into a haze of pale vapor that surged toward the pythons. The vapor looked sheer and harmless. Still, Leng Feng dared not dismiss it lightly. Composed of myriad Gu worms, this haze packed tremendous potency. A mishandled response could spell serious trouble for him.

By now, the pythons had charged into the pale haze. Upon contact, they recoiled as if struck by horror. Agonized howls echoed as their forms shuddered violently. Black vapors spewed from their maws, plunging into the haze and tearing open gaps. The gaps sealed quickly, but the pythons became wreathed in thicker vapor, their cries growing more frantic.

Then, a sharp snort pierced from the dark fog. Strands of black vapor abruptly seeped from the pythons' bodies. This vapor swiftly countered the pale mist. For an instant, deadlock held. But soon, hordes of fresh pythons burst from the fog, hurtling toward Da Jiu Chi.

Da Jiu Chi altered his seals and bellowed, "Now!" With his command, two enormous spiders materialized upon him. Utterly fearsome, each stood as tall as a man and stretched five meters long. Their eight massive legs bristled with dark hair, lending them a nightmarish aspect.

These were the very spiders Liu Feizhou had spotted in Da Jiu Chi's courtyard. Known as giant demon spiders, they boasted immense power and cunning. Among the Poisonous Bug Valley's famed puppet combatants, they proved exceptionally tough foes. Few ordinary cultivators could stand against them.

The pair of spiders emerged roaring and leaped skyward. In unison, they lashed out with their legs like eight lethal spears, impaling toward the pythons. The serpents coiled defensively and barreled at the spiders. A thunderous crash resounded at the impact site. The spiders hurtled backward once more. The pythons had vanished into nothing.

Mid-flight, the spiders twisted and dove into the dark cloud. But in that instant, myriad black strands erupted from the cloud, snaring toward them. The spiders flailed their legs to fend off the strands, yet their numbers overwhelmed. From the spiders' undersides, twin globs of white silk erupted. These swiftly wove into a vast web aloft, ensnaring the black strands entirely.

Where web met strand, corrosive hisses rang out. The webs clearly bore venom, dissolving the strands on contact. Then, a colossal black hand thrust from the cloud, seizing the webs. Despite the sizzling erosion on the hand, it refused to release. Clutching the webs firmly, it withdrew into the cloud.

Da Jiu Chi's face darkened at the sight, and he snorted coldly. "Hmph! Trying to snag my spider silk now? You truly don't know your limits!" He gestured, and the small black spider on his shoulder bounded forth. As it did, it swelled with the breeze, ballooning into a spider exceeding ten meters. Jet-black like polished jade, this beast featured eight scarlet eyes on its head, rendering it savagely intimidating.

"Eight-eyed black jade spider!" A startled exclamation burst from the cloud—Leng Feng's voice, laced with shock. He hadn't anticipated the tiny spider on Da Jiu Chi's shoulder to be an eight-eyed black jade spider. This venomous insect ranked among the mightiest, its form laced with deadly poison. It could unleash venom sprays, wield immense strength, and boasted a steel-hard shell. Its silk carried toxins, and rumors spoke of ocular abilities. Undoubtedly, it was a nightmare adversary.

The eight-eyed black jade spider's emergence unleashed a dominating aura over the battlefield. Both Leng Feng and the spectating rogue cultivators felt its gaze upon them, sending shivers through their cores. Weaker-willed onlookers recoiled visibly, gripped by terror.

Ignoring the rogue cultivators entirely, the eight-eyed black jade spider lunged ahead, barreling into the cloud. Just shy of entry, a ghostly white bone hand protruded from the cloud. Enormously proportioned, this hand balled into a fist spanning two meters. The fist smashed into the spider's frame.

A deafening boom echoed as the spider's charge halted abruptly. It had been repelled. Another massive bone fist followed, slamming the spider and flinging it airborne. A wail of pain tore from it. Yet abruptly, white silk shot from its belly, lashing onto the fist. The spider's trajectory jerked to a stop. Yanked by immense force, it hurtled back toward the bone fists. Its eight crimson eyes blazed with hunger. Red gleams flashed, unleashing eight crimson beams that struck the fists.

BOOM! The explosion shattered the bone fists to fragments. The eight-eyed black jade spider pressed on unscathed, plunging into the cloud. However, yet another bone fist emerged, battering its body. The spider flew back again, shrieking piercingly—louder and more acute than before. Clearly, this blow had hurt it badly.

Da Jiu Chi's look grew solemn as he stared at the bone fist protruding from the cloud. "Black Cloud White Bone Art. I didn't expect you'd cultivated the Black Cloud White Bone Art. Impressive, you're every bit as strong as they say. Since we're on Dark Wind Sect ground today, I'll yield this round. Until we meet again!" He swept his hand, recalling all three spiders. Simultaneously, the pale vapor of tiny insects swirled back into him. His form shot off the island, vanishing in a flash.

From the cloud, Leng Feng's voice rang out. "Next time, I'll visit the Poisonous Bug Valley to gauge your Gu techniques, Da Jiu Chi." As he spoke, the clouds contracted inward, funneling into the black flag in Leng Feng's grasp in moments. His figure emerged plainly.
