Invincible Dad-Chapter 544 534 Just Adult Food_1
Even Xu Wandao was alarmed, let alone the group of young boys and girls led by The East. The highest among them was The East, at the late stage of the Sixth Grade, while the lowest was merely in the early stage of the Fifth Grade. At this moment, the seven of them stared dumbfounded at the Faceless Spider, which was radiating a terrifying pressure. Their bodies uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat.
"Sister The East, didn't you say that the Faceless Spider could only have fifty percent of the copied person's combat strength? This aura… it's stronger than any Martial Ancestor I've ever seen," a girl said with a mournful face.
The East stammered, unable to utter a single word. She was starting to have her doubts.
Could Xu Yiyi really be this powerful? No, no, no. Impossible. Even if the Faceless Spider copied fifty percent of her grandfather's combat strength, it couldn't possibly be this terrifying.
"Crush the Jade Slips! Quickly!" The East shouted. The phoenix formed from Spiritual Energy in the sky was horrifying; it could probably destroy the entire island with ease. They simply couldn't resist! Now, only by summoning the Ninth-Grade Martial Ancestor Xu Wandao could they snatch their lives back from the brink of death.
CRACK!
A Jade Slip was crushed, followed by a second, a third… until the seventh!
In truth, there was no need to crush the Jade Slips. Xu Wandao had already arrived. The fluctuations of Spiritual Energy here were simply too intense to ignore.
"Behold my blade!" As a descendant of Xu Yanyang, Xu Wandao also practiced the art of the blade. With a thunderous roar, he wielded a blood-red longsword, slashing out a crimson arc of energy in an attempt to decapitate the Spiritual Qi Phoenix!
"SCREECH!"
The Spiritual Qi Phoenix spread its wings, not only dodging the blade but charging head-on into the world-shaking attack. Startled, Xu Wandao quickly planted his sword into the ground, conjuring a Spiritual Energy barrier for defense.
CRACK!
A web of massive cracks spread across the barrier, which disintegrated into dust in the blink of an eye. The only consolation was that the Spiritual Qi Phoenix also dissipated with the wind.
"Pfft—!"
Xu Wandao spat out a mouthful of blood, having clearly suffered a severe backlash from the exchange. His expression grew grim. "Faceless Spiders… these kinds of monsters should have all been exterminated."
Faceless Spiders were creatures that lived deep in the ocean. They possessed zero combat strength on their own, but they grew stronger in proportion to their opponent, possessing an extremely ferocious bloodlust.
Whose strength did this one copy? How could it be so horrifying!
"Hee hee hee."
The Faceless Spider morphed into Xu Yiyi's face, but it soon changed to Qian Xiao's, and not long after, to Deng Shu's. Ultimately, for some unknown reason, it chose to transform into The East, its body even taking on the sprightly form of a teenage girl. Its head was bent at a ninety-degree angle, dangling unnaturally on its shoulder. It looked absolutely terrifying as it laughed in a deeply unsettling manner.
"For the past fifty years, you of the Human Race have slaughtered indiscriminately on Gudu Island, killing many of my offspring. Most outrageously, you have disturbed the Great One's peace."
"You can talk? You actually possess sapience!?" Xu Wandao's pupils contracted sharply. In the past fifty years, the Martial Dao Association had never found a single sapient Demonic Beast on Gudu Island. But the intelligence of this one was frighteningly high.
"Hee hee hee." The Faceless Spider didn't answer the question, instead continuing to tilt its head and laugh creepily.
Xu Wandao's brows furrowed deeply. "The 'Great One' you speak of… is it the Demon King of Songyue Sea City? It has been dead for over two hundred years. Do not resist in vain. Surrender now."
"Songyue was merely the Great One's food," the Faceless Spider chortled. "Yet it dared to sneak away hundreds of years ago while the Great One was sleeping. It even established itself as a Demon King. How laughable."
Xu Wandao's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Although the light drizzle had stopped, he could still feel his body temperature dropping as a suffocating sensation washed over him.
Two hundred years ago… The Sea Demon King who unified the seven neighboring Sea Cities was actually food for that 'Great One' on Gudu Island?
"Impossible!" The East, her face pale, retorted, "This is an island for raising Gu! Stop spouting nonsense!"
The Faceless Spider didn't get angry. Instead, it stroked its chin and pondered, "Raising Gu… that is indeed an apt description."
"However, even if this island is for raising a Gu, the one being raised is my Master. If even someone like Songyue could become a dominant force on Earth, my Master could probably destroy the entire planet with a single little finger."
The Faceless Spider's facial features began to change again, this time shifting into those of the Dao Sect girl, Bai Yuan. She giggled, "Before my Master fell asleep, he loved eating people the most. These little children look quite fresh."
"Go!" Xu Wandao sensed the grave danger. This place was far more complex than the Martial Dao Association had ever imagined. He waved his sleeves, enveloping The East and the other seven youths, and soared into the sky.
The Faceless Spider did not try to stop them, but said with a touch of pity, "What a pity. My Master is about to awaken. You cannot escape."
The curtain of rain quietly ceased. The moon broke through the layers of dark clouds, its brilliant light spilling onto Gudu Island and illuminating the serene white surface of the surrounding sea.
And…
Beneath the sea's surface was a bizarrely vibrant tapestry of strange colors.
"What are those red, white, and green things?" a young man in the sky asked instinctively.
Xu Wandao looked, and his scalp went numb with terror. He had intended to use his extreme speed to search the island for Xu Yiyi, Deng Shu, and the others, but now he hesitated no longer. He turned and fled.
WHOOSH!
As the tide receded under the moonlight, it revealed that the waters surrounding Gudu Island were teeming with an innumerable horde of Sea Demons. The different colors beneath the surface moments ago had been their eyes.
At a rough glance, the entire visible sea was filled with bizarrely shaped Sea Demons, conservatively numbering three to four hundred thousand. Each one radiated power comparable to a Fourth-Grade Martial Artist, with some being even stronger. For instance, the four Sea Demons standing at the forefront in the four cardinal directions of Gudu Island exuded a pressure no less powerful than that of the Faceless Spider.
This means… those four demons are, at the very least, as strong as the peak of the Ninth Grade. They might have even stepped into the Demon King Realm!
This was why Xu Wandao had turned and fled. With his strength alone, he couldn't possibly rescue everyone. The only plan now was to escape to the mainland and seek reinforcements from the Martial Dao Association. Perhaps then, the children on the island might have a glimmer of hope.
"Too late," the Faceless Spider said, still smiling.
Suddenly, eight winged, bird-like Demonic Beasts took flight, their faces hideous and their intentions clearly malevolent. Their bodies also radiated an aura comparable to that of a peak Ninth-Grade Martial Artist!
Including the Faceless Spider, there were a total of thirteen Sea Demons that gave Xu Wandao pause, not to mention the other three hundred forty thousand monsters of varying Boundaries!
What made Xu Wandao despair even more was that the Faceless Spider threw a black orb into the air, which transformed into an invisible Barrier, enclosing a twenty-mile radius with Gudu Island at its center. This was a pocket dimension, temporarily sealed off from the outside world. Unless someone with overwhelmingly superior power shattered it from the outside, nothing within the Barrier could be perceived by those beyond it.
In other words, Xu Wandao and the twenty-one young prodigies were trapped.
