From the beginning until now, Helicoverpa Rosa's objective in her battle with Li Qingshan was to capture him alive before tying him up and enjoying him slowly. The prey's pain and despair had always been the most important part of this dish.
Once she lost this part, all she could do was "eat". Before she began eating, she still wanted to play around. She wanted to chop off his limbs and use him as a toy in her bed. After all, prey that could satisfy her desires were far too rare.
As a result, she had actually never actually struck a killing blow, which was why Li Qingshan had lasted until now. If she had struck a killing blow right from the beginning, perhaps Li Qingshan would not have been able to make it underground alive.
Just Now, the close combat seemed extremely intense, but she had plenty of opportunities and methods to kill Li Qingshan. However, it would be very difficult for her to control the strength of her attacks. It was possible for him to die directly, and once he was forced into dire straits, it was also possible for him to directly blow up his daemon core.
It was exactly because of these considerations that she chose the worst plan, which was to exhaust Li Qingshan's daemon qi and strength. By then, it would already be too late even if he wanted to blow up his daemon core.
However, the situation did not go as she had expected. Not only was Li Qingshan not exhausted, but he became more and more energetic instead. He was extremely stingy with his daemon qi too.
The situation began to become complicated, which was rather disadvantageous for her.
Of course, it was only disadvantageous.
She recovered from her exhaustion within a few breaths. Although she had expended quite a lot of daemon qi, it recovered at a rapid rate.
Most importantly, she had decided to "kill" him right now.
The moment she made up her mind, the spirit turtle's daemon core in Li Qingshan's body gave off an intense warning. It was almost a warning of death.
A sky full of spider silk flew over. Li Qingshan was unable to respond in time. No matter what he did, he was unable to avoid the fate of being riddled with holes.
"Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell!"
Li Qingshan bellowed out, and hexagonal pieces of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell appeared before him in layers.
Time seemed to slow down. A thin strand of spider silk. The moment it came into contact with a piece of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell, a ripple seemed to appear, but it was unable to prove it. That was because at the same time, several hundred strands of silk landed on the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell.
The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell was not exactly pierced. It would be better to say that they were annihilated.
The demonic aura on Li Qingshan's body was rapidly depleting. There were no more tricks he could use. The spider silk that filled the sky was like a million-strong army charging head-on. If they didn't block it, they would die. But if they did block it, it would only delay the time of death.
Spider silk was not as light and thin as spider webs that could be blown away by strong winds.
The other end of the thousands of strands of silk was still in the Spider Queen's vermillion lips, constantly pouring in daemon qi. Let alone a gust of wind, even blades and axes would not be able to withstand it. Don't even think about swaying a single strand of spider silk.
Pieces of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell were destroyed, and Li Qingshan's daemon qi plummeted. The threads closed in on him.
Boom boom boom boom!
Li Qingshan's eyes were bloodshot as he punched out. He unleashed the power of the Ox Demon's Tremor and broke the tens of thousands of spiderwebs.
However, the spider silk was endless. At this time, even if he wanted to turn around and escape, it was too late.
Innate abilities were extremely taxing on daemon qi. In the blink of an eye, Li Qingshan had been accumulating it painstakingly. The daemon qi that was only waiting to be used at a crucial moment was almost completely depleted.
As for Helicoverpa Rosa, all she did was stand there and constantly spit out spider silk. Just this move had forced Li Qingshan into unprecedented despair.
This move, the Myriad Threads, was quite taxing on her as well. However, as a Daemon Commander, both the quality of her daemon qi and the speed at which she recovered were incomparable to Daemon Generals.
There was no suspense in the outcome of a pure clash of daemon qi like this.
She saw how Li Qingshan's daemon qi was almost completely depleted, but he was still holding on. He had no intentions of blowing up his daemon core. The corner of Helicoverpa Rosa's bright-red lips curled into a victorious smile. His desire to live was much greater than she had imagined. If she had known this earlier, she would have never held back in the beginning.
If this continued, she would be able to achieve her original goal. Subduing a Daemon General who had exhausted his daemon qi would be extremely simple.
Li Qingshan threw another punch, but there were no more shockwaves. His daemon qi had finally been completely depleted.
In that instant, thousands of spider silk pierced through him and engulfed him, pushing him forward until he crashed into a rock wall, where he remained motionless.
Helicoverpa Rosa panted softly. Her silvery-gray skin recovered its delicate snow-white color. Swaying her voluptuous bottom, she arrived before the human figure that was completely covered in spider webs.
With a wave of her hand, Li Qingshan's face was revealed. There was not a single wound on it.
At the very last moment, she had moved away the spider silk aimed at his head to prevent him from truly being killed. Of course, there was also a certain part below.
Aside from these two places, his limbs and organs had all been pierced through by the spider silk. He was like an insect pinned by thousands of long, thin needles, completely immobilized. Even if he wanted to blow up his daemon core, it was an extravagant hope.
At this time, even if he broke through to the fourth layer of the Tiger Demon, it was already too late.
Helicoverpa Rosa caressed Li Qingshan's handsome face and suddenly slapped him, leaving a clear palm mark. Then, she lifted his chin and said, "Now, who's going to do who?"
"Of course it's me who's going to do you!" Before Li Qingshan could finish his sentence, there was another slap. His head tilted to the side and his scarlet hair flew in the air.
Li Qingshan continued to smile viciously. In this moment of the greatest despair,
In this moment of greatest despair, he had already exhausted all his moves and made all his attempts and efforts. At the crucial moment when he had completely refined Strong Stone's daemon core and had the greatest hope of breaking through to the fourth layer of the Tiger Demon, he had failed before he could even launch a single attack.
If he had succeeded, everything would have been different!
But there were no ifs in life.
The killing intent brought about by Strong Stone's daemon core receded like a receding tide. What was left was only the bitter fruit of failure. This was probably the so-called fate of heaven!
Ha, I'm not Overlord Chu. If I'm weak, then I'm weak. Why should I blame fate?
Was it despair? Perhaps!
However, as long as he still had a second to live, he would persevere to the end. He stared at the Spider Queen with shining eyes. He did not spit out a mouthful of bloody spittle like those martyrs of the revolution. Instead, he tried to struggle calmly, but it was all to no avail.
Although the Strength of the Earth continued to replenish his strength, every inch of his muscles had been pierced by the spider silk. It was beyond his control. He could not even move his little finger.
Helicoverpa Rosa admired this sight in satisfaction. She had finally subdued this stubborn beast. Never had a prey made her so excited before.
A hand landed on his crotch, rubbing it gently. The tip of her bright-red tongue licked his cheek and whispered into his ear, "Serve me well, and I'll let you live a little longer. If I'm satisfied, I might even spare your life, allowing you to continue leading the night roamers and serving me."
To those in despair, there was nothing more tempting than hope. Just like a drowning person, he would desperately clutch onto a single strand of straw.
Give him a sliver of hope, tame him bit by bit, and then kill him in the cruelest way possible in the end. This was the ending she had decided on for him. Only then could she calm her fury.
"I still have something on me that your spider silk can't pierce." Li Qingshan smiled.
"What is it?"
"Bones."
The bones all over Li Qingshan's body could be described as the toughest part of his body. Even the indestructible spider silk could only pierce through his skin and flesh. All it could do was circle around his bones.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his head.
The bones would stand when the tiger was dead!
"Then I'll break them myself." Helicoverpa Rosa said viciously. Suddenly, she saw Li Qingshan tremble all over and move. She was slightly surprised.
"Even if all of my limbs and organs are pierced, my bones can still move."
Li Qingshan's bones began to move. Indescribable pain filled his entire body. All of the flesh nailed down by the spider silk was pulled, but his body did not move at all. It was like his bones and flesh were being forcefully separated.
Blood flowed and rolled along the spider silk, soaking the ground in the blink of an eye.
Even the torture of being executed by a thousand cuts seemed to be a pleasure in comparison.
Helicoverpa Rosa smiled again. She admired this kind of desperate struggle before death the most. However, she was rather dissatisfied with Li Qingshan's behaviour.
His face did not twist from pain. Instead, he smiled. He thought of a person.
"Probably only that crazy woman, Qian Rongzhi, can endure this. I can't lose to her. No, I can't lose to myself!"
Suddenly, Li Qingshan felt like he had been enlightened. He suddenly saw the light.
"I understand now!"
The phantom of the tiger demon appeared in his sea of consciousness once more. It was still roaring at the sky. There was clearly no enemy around, but it bared its fangs and claws, as if it was fighting something invisible. It was as if its mind was filled with killing intent and it had sunk into madness.
The Tiger Demon's Bone Forging Frenzy!
However, this time, Li Qingshan saw something completely different. The tiger demon fought in a frenzy, not because it did not know who its enemy was.
Even if it destroyed the world and slaughtered all life, it would always have one enemy, and that was itself.
If it could not defeat itself, no matter how many opponents it defeated, it would still be weak.
The victor was powerful, and the victor was strong.
And this enemy could never be defeated completely. The only way was to keep fighting, again and again, to defeat fear, pain, setbacks, and challenges.
Even if it was to forget everything and sink into madness, it could not stop.
"I thought that the fourth layer of the tiger demon would be the same as the first three layers, where killing intent and potential would be stimulated under the external pressure of life and death. So that's not the case. This is the true meaning behind the endless battle of the tiger demon. "
In the moment Li Qingshan comprehended this, a violent aura of malice rushed out of his body. It was so arrogant and violent, as if he wanted to fight against the world.
Helicoverpa Rosa was slightly surprised and took a step back, but she did not feel ashamed. She could clearly sense that Li Qingshan had broken through again. He was like a demonic blade that had been unsealed, which actually made her feel danger.
However, she stopped worrying again and smiled mockingly. He was heavily injured and did not have a single strand of daemon qi on him. No matter how he broke through, how could he escape from her?
As if in response to her thoughts, daemon qi surged into Li Qingshan's body from somewhere.
The spirit turtle's daemon core suddenly lit up!
