Journey to the West: The Mountain Shaker

Chapter 102 Battle of Rotten Peach Peak 6

That giant spider is the key to this battle; killing it will solve the entire problem!

While observing the situation, the pockmarked man kept walking and quickly circled the small house, casually slashing out a few hand strikes to test the location of the array's core—of course, all of which were neutralized by the three people in the corner of the house.

After circling around three times and getting a general feel for the place, the pockmarked man summoned two flying swords and used his divine sense to control them, engaging Chu Zhengshan and Zeng Fuhu in a fierce battle. He then focused his spiked club on Chu Zhiyin and began to smash him down—the young man is not bad, but his inexperience is obvious, and that is his weakness!

Two flying swords clashed and stabbed around Chu Zhengshan and Zeng Fuhu, preventing them from freeing their hands to help. The spiked club attacked more and more fiercely, and occasionally a few talismans were thrown to attack the core of the Three Talents Formation. It was clear that Chu Zhiyin's breathing was becoming more and more rapid and his arms were gradually losing strength. The defeat was just around the corner...

Suddenly, Pockmarked Man felt a tightness in his left ankle, tripped him, and almost fell over. It was from a dozen or so spider silk threads that had entangled him.

finally come!

Instead of being angry, the pockmarked man was delighted. He leaped up with the spider silk, and without exerting any force, the silk snapped. He followed the silk to see where it came from—it was in a pit three zhang away from Chu Zhiyin.

Pockmarked face exerted force in mid-air, hurling the spiked club with all his might. It was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder, aimed directly at the spider's hiding place.

The attack was too fast. Chu Zhiyin managed to swing his sword with all his might, but because of the distance and his inability to leave the center of the formation, he could only block it with the end of his sword energy. The spiked club's momentum was slightly reduced, but it still struck the pit directly.

With a deafening thud, dust billowed up, and a glance revealed the spider's carapace dented, lying motionless on the ground, clearly severely injured.

opportunity!

This is a contracted beast. If the contracted beast dies, the contractor is paralyzed. Killing one means losing one. The key to breaking the deadlock lies in this one move.

Without hesitation, the pockmarked man summoned a flying sword in mid-air, used the sword to propel himself up several dozen feet, and pulled out a second-tier protective talisman, slapping it onto his body. Then, he took out his most prized weapon from his Qiankun bag—a giant axe inlaid with runes.

With a loud shout, the pockmarked man unleashed a powerful strike, splitting Mount Hua with a mighty axe, amplified by a thousand-pound drop, bringing the axe and himself crashing down with a thunderous roar, immense force, and the momentum of a cascading waterfall.

The trio rushed to the rescue. Zeng Fuhu, who was furthest away, threw his short spear, but the pockmarked man, protected by a second-tier protective talisman, completely ignored it. The other two, who were closer, each unleashed their sword energy, but the pockmarked man's axe was heavy to begin with, and with the added weight of a thousand pounds, it cleaved down from the air. How could several sword energies possibly stop it!

With a "crack," the giant axe cleaved the spider's carapace in two. The pockmarked man was shocked—it was a fake metal shell, and underneath it was an empty hole more than ten meters deep!

be cheated!

Pockmarked man hurriedly straightened up, slashing his giant axe to the side, trying to find a point of contact, but his momentum was so fast that there was no way to stop him in an instant!

To make matters worse, as soon as he straightened up, he was kicked hard in the back and fell straight down. When he turned around, a spider the size of a millstone scurried up from a corner of the hole, leaving him with only a long, waving back view.

With a loud thud, Pockmarked Man crashed into the bottom of the cave. The cave walls were pitch black, and even the sharpest blade of his giant axe only managed to cut a small portion. The axe handle bounced back, causing a sharp pain on his forehead. Pockmarked Man reacted swiftly, pulling the giant axe out with a mighty pull and storing it in his storage bag. He reached out and touched the cave walls; they were covered in runes, indicating that they were reinforced with sturdy runes. He then took out an ironwood shield and a sharp sword, took a deep breath, and leaped into the air.

But in just a short while, Cai Fei had already directed the Thread-Pulling Finger Formation to cover more than a dozen layers of spider silk above his head, and Zeng Fuhu had also added a pre-prepared iron spider silk net!

With his pockmarked face and round shield, he crashed headfirst into the spider web, sending it flying in a small arc more than a person's height. Once outside the cave, it was clear that the giant spider demon was guarding the cave entrance, and Chu Zhengshan and the other two were also surrounding the entrance within three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Their iron swords were pinned to the ground, which was stuck to an extremely thick iron spider web.

Seeing him charge at them, all three of them slashed fiercely with their longswords.

The pockmarked round shield withstood the blow, then used a sound-calling spell to shout into the distance, "Come save me!"

With a shout, he sank to the bottom of the cave again, and then leaped up once more.

Some people noticed something was wrong and rushed over. Pockmarked face was not panicked. It would take all three men and one spider to trap him. If one or two of his own men came and interfered with his breakout attempt, he would be able to break out.

However, just as he was leaping up for the second time, a series of "bang, bang" sounds suddenly erupted around the hill, and smoke and dust exploded in multiple places. A huge cloud of smoke and dust enveloped the area, and all the people who came to the rescue stopped in their tracks in surprise.

Sun Juxian had already jumped out of the window, ignoring the dust and smoke filling the sky, and piloted the Spirit Bamboo Paper Hawk into the air at high speed. Below him, Cai Fei was directing six small spiders to weave countless spider silks into a bundle, which, like a snake raising its head, soared into the sky.

"Smash it!"

Chu Zhengshan unleashed a powerful shout using his Sound Hearing Technique, his tongue crackling like thunder, resounding in all directions and causing everyone on the hilltop to tremble.

The next instant, dozens of large iron balls appeared in the night sky—Sun Juxian emptied the large storage bag that Cai Fei had given him and dropped the objects from the sky, replicating the opening scene of the thirteen cultivators just now, except this time there were no stones, only iron balls!

What are we supposed to do?

With cultivators from both sides present, your act of throwing an iron ball from a great height is tantamount to causing mutual destruction.

Regardless, the massive iron ball falling from a hundred feet in the sky was far beyond the capacity of any Qi Refining cultivator to withstand. The thirteen cultivators scattered and rushed towards the side of the mountain. However, Wujia Ridge suddenly intensified its attack, unleashing a barrage of spells to hold people back—long whips, entanglement techniques, and icy rings…

Is this insane?

In their panic, the thirteen cultivators desperately tried to break free from the entanglement while running away.

In the blink of an eye, one after another large iron balls had descended upon the hilltop. But strangely, it seemed as if there was a giant funnel in the air. When all the large iron balls were dozens of feet above the ground, they changed their falling direction and all of them were tilted towards the stone cave where the pockmarked man was!

At the critical moment of life and death, Pockmarked Man unleashed all the potential of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He slammed his entire body into the spider web, causing it to bulge high and reveal half of his human form. He threw out all the second-tier talismans on his body. Amidst the series of explosions, the rapidly descending iron ball was momentarily stopped.

At the same time, Pockmarked Man plunged his flying sword into the cave entrance, used the hilt of the sword for leverage, and charged through the spider web!

"ah--!"

Amidst the ferocious roar, the dozen or so layers of spider webs were gradually lifted up. Chu Zhiyin and the other two turned red in the face, but they still couldn't withstand the immense force.

Just as the pockmarked man was about to escape, a figure suddenly lunged at him.

"Go to hell!"

With a loud "bang," the pockmarked man was knocked back into the cave, and the figure was also sent flying high by his final punch, which was made with all his strength. His chest caved in, and he was already spitting out mouthfuls of blood while still in the air. It was none other than Elder Chu Zhengshan!

"withdraw!"

The moment the first large iron ball crashed down, Chu Zhiyin and Zeng Fuhu, who had been stubbornly clinging to the spider web, drew their swords and retreated. Chu Zhiyin leaped to where Chu Zhengshan had fallen and, with tears in his eyes, picked up the old elder who was on the verge of death.

The giant iron ball, trailing spiderwebs, crashed into the cave. Pockmarked man unleashed a full-force punch, pouring out his spiritual energy without regard for the consequences. The iron ball was repeatedly knocked back, bouncing out of the cave entrance and crashing into the cave walls with muffled thunderous explosions. But behind him were more and more giant iron balls falling from the sky, and Pockmarked man's spiritual energy was dwindling, and he had no more second-tier talismans left to use...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
