Beneath Cobweb City, after passing through layers of earth and stone, there was a cavern.
The cavern did not seem to have been formed naturally. There were no stalactites, only shattered boulders scattered all over the ground.
Amidst the rubble was an azure sphere formed from countless hexagons.
The sphere was translucent, but it was so hazy that it was impossible to see what was inside, as if a layer of mist had condensed within it.
There was a loud thud as a hand struck the sphere. It was the hand of a woman, her fingers long and slender, her palm small and beautiful.
But the force it exerted was not weak at all. There was a crisp crack, like the sound of ice cracking, and a crack appeared on the azure sphere.
It was easy to imagine that a few more strikes would probably shatter it.
The mist dispersed a little, and the woman's face could be vaguely seen. Any man standing here would likely be dumbfounded and gasp in admiration at her appearance. It was a seductive and mature face, possessing an even more bewitching charm than a pure beauty.
Even though her face was filled with shame and anger, that lofty arrogance was still clearly discernible. It seemed to have already fused into her temperament, making her seem like a queen. If not for her noble status and great authority, it would have been impossible for her to develop such a temperament. But it also aroused a man's desire to conquer.
Her jet-black hair was scattered and messy, but one could still imagine the nobility of her hair.
Her thin red lips were frozen in a cruel curve. She was used to issuing orders, but now she was opening and closing her mouth. She spat out a white mist, as if she were cursing and moaning.
However, it was blocked by the sphere, and not a single sound could be heard.
He tried to look into the sphere again, but it became even more blurry. All he saw was a snow-white human figure. It seemed to be completely naked, and it was indistinctly visible. She seemed to be kneeling on the ground in an extremely indecent manner, her body swaying uncontrollably. The two snow-white masses in front of her were trembling violently, and the two bright red dots below were like two red cherries on the snow, swaying back and forth.
One could not help but have all sorts of enchanting thoughts.
Thud!
There was another loud thud as she exerted all her strength. She clenched her teeth and struck out a second time. The cracks became even larger and denser. It would depend on the situation. With just one more palm strike, he would be able to shatter the sphere and escape from it.
Suddenly, two arms reached out from behind her, grabbed her slender waist, and dragged her backwards. She flailed her arms in vain. He struggled, but he was no match for that power.
In the blink of an eye. The cracks on the sphere disappeared. Inside the cave. Dead silence reigned once more.
After an unknown period of time, the azure sphere suddenly disappeared. First, a large amount of white mist spread out, and vaguely, a figure could be seen standing upright, with a head full of fiery red hair.
As the mist dispersed, Li Qingshan stretched his body and took a deep breath of the refreshing Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. His thoughts were extremely clear and his heart was incomparably satisfied. If it wasn't for the lack of spiritual energy in the world, he might have broken through the seventeen or eighteen levels and gone straight to the Nine Heavens.
However, Just Now, that feeling was as if he had roamed one round beyond the Nine Heavens, and his gaze fell back to the ground.
Hmph, if you want to eat me, I'll let you eat to your heart's content!
Helicoverpa Rosa lay on the ground with her eyes firmly shut as if she had lost consciousness. Her snow-white body was drenched in sweat, filled with the marks of lovemaking.
Although she struggled very violently in the beginning, Li Qingshan had served her plenty of what she loved the most. Towards the end, she no longer had the strength to resist, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. She was even extremely cooperative, no longer trying to bite him with her venomous fangs when they hugged each other.
Obviously, there was no need for her to maintain a safe position the entire time. Of course, Li Qingshan had to admit that was what he loved the most. However, he was unable to tell whether she had lost herself in it, or whether she had the mindset of "since I can't resist, I'll just enjoy it!", or perhaps it was a combination of both.
"Oi, mother of the child, stop playing dead. If you keep playing dead, I'll really kill you."
Li Qingshan crouched down and patted the cheek behind Helicoverpa Rosa. He obviously would not be fooled by this facade, as in the moment the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell was activated, the surging spiritual qi of the world immediately began to gather towards her.
Originally, he was just joking, but as soon as he said it, he could not help but think, Should I kill her?
Right now, Helicoverpa Rosa was at her weakest. If he wanted to kill her, now was the perfect time. Once she recovered completely, it would be hard to say who would be the one killing who.
With Li Qingshan's current strength, he had basically taken a step into the realm of Daemon Commanders. He could basically sweep through the first heavenly tribulation. Right now, even if all the Foundation Establishment cultivators and Daemon Generals of the Clear River prefecture stood before him, he could deal with them with composure. Even if he encountered Daemon Commanders and Golden Core cultivators who had undergone the second heavenly tribulation, protecting himself would not be a problem anymore.
However, it was basically impossible for him to emerge victorious. Li Qingshan's victory this time was due to some luck. Helicoverpa Rosa had been too careless. Her vicious nature could be described as the main reason for her defeat.
If it were not for the fact that she wanted to capture Li Qingshan alive and torture him for fun before eating him raw, she would never have ended up like this. And, there was an even deeper reason. After becoming a Daemon Commander, it had already been many years since she had engaged in a battle to the death with someone.
Even if he was a natural hunter, if he didn't have a worthy opponent, his combat ability would degenerate, and he wouldn't be able to display his full strength. However, ever since Li Qingshan had used his blade to kill someone for the first time, he had never stopped fighting.
In terms of true strength, Li Qingshan was nowhere close to Helicoverpa Rosa. As a carapace, she was not a weakling among Daemon Commanders either.
Li Qingshan checked the Divine Talisman of Great Creation. He had directly used up thirty percent of the power of belief he had accumulated over all these years, all to replenish his daemon qi. He possessed the extraordinary ability, the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression, so the quality of his daemon qi did not pale in comparison to Daemon Commanders. After all, it had only been a few years since he underwent the heavenly tribulation. Although he had eaten many spiritual medicines, his accumulation was still extremely weak.
If he fought her another two times, or even one more time, he would not be able to endure it. If he did not have the Divine Talisman of Great Creation to replenish his daemon qi, what were his chances of victory? Even if he could barely defeat her, it would be very difficult for him to subdue her like this again.
Helicoverpa Rosa would never be stupid enough to deplete her daemon qi again. If a Daemon Commander wanted to flee, how could he stop her as a mere general? What came next would be endless revenge.
He would never dream of getting along with Helicoverpa Rosa peacefully after this, unless her hidden interests were stimulated and she basked in the joy of being conquered … It's not like this was some fucking pornographic novel!
As the saying went, opportunities only came once …
"If you dare to kill me, I'll blow up my daemon core and drag you down with me!"
Helicoverpa Rosa snapped open her eyes and stared at Li Qingshan. To his surprise, there was no longer any hatred or resentment in her eyes. There was only suffocating coldness and tranquility.
Her voice was feeble and slightly hoarse. Li Qingshan instead dared not ignore her threat. He was extremely surprised. He felt that she had become rather different from the Helicoverpa Rosa in his memories.
Actually, Helicoverpa Rosa was not playing dead. She naively believed she could fool Li Qingshan like that. Instead, she was savoring the lingering charm of their lovemaking and tidying through her thoughts.
This matter was naturally a great humiliation to her. However, what made her feel humiliated was not the matter itself. She had no concept of such things. It had nothing to do with love. Reproduction was just the most normal thing in the natural world.
What she felt humiliated was that she had been conquered by the weak. If Li Qingshan was a Daemon King, she would not have resisted at all. This was because in the natural world, the strong naturally had the right to choose their partners.
The problem was that Li Qingshan was only a Daemon General and her subordinate. In a situation where his strength was completely inferior to hers, he had offended her and bullied her as the weak. Her heart was naturally filled with indignation and anger.
Li Qingshan would never have imagined that his guess would actually be correct.
Although it was a humiliation, Helicoverpa Rosa had truly experienced an unprecedented pleasure. This extreme pleasure mixed with pain and helplessness caused a part of her heart that had been numbed by a comfortable life to recover.
She seemed to have returned to the past, when she was still a spider. Hunger and threats were everywhere. Torture and slaughter were necessary every day. Otherwise, she would be tortured to death by the cruel nature.
The heavy darkness was no longer filled with emptiness and boredom. She had once again found the meaning of cultivation.
If Li Qingshan knew how important his actions were to her, he would definitely be filled with pride. Perhaps he really would place his hopes on conquering this proud Spider Queen.
Unfortunately, while he had guessed the beginning incorrectly, he had not guessed the ending incorrectly.
Helicoverpa Rosa was now prepared to begin a hunt. This was not for revenge, but to carry out the instincts that nature had bestowed upon her to the end.
"How could I bear to do that? You're the mother of my child! "
Li Qingshan grinned, as if he was showing weakness, afraid that she would really do this.
To a daemon that fought for survival from birth, the will to live was deeply ingrained in their instincts. So when he could do as he pleased Just Now, no matter how loud her threats were, he did not care. But once his life was in danger, he would definitely not underestimate her resolve.
A Daemon Commander's self-detonation of a daemon core was no joke.
This was also because Li Qingshan was not strong enough. If he was also a Daemon Commander, he would be much more confident in protecting himself. Helicoverpa Rosa would not be able to threaten him like this, so using survival to force her to submit was not impossible.
However, in Li Qingshan's heart, killing intent instead intensified. His hand slid down from her face and gripped her beautiful, swan-like neck.
"I feel like she's going to become quite troublesome. It's probably impossible to kill her before she self-detonates her daemon core. But if I use that seventy percent of the power of wish, with my tough body, it's not impossible for me to survive."
As if a thick layer of dust had been wiped away, Helicoverpa Rosa's sense of danger became extremely acute. Her body immediately tensed up, and the daemon core in her body was on the verge of exploding.
This was a cold confrontation that could be seen every day in the natural world. When a lion hunted a wild bull, it also had to worry about being killed by the bull's horns.
"Should I pretend to submit first? No, once I show weakness, it will instead strengthen his resolve."
In the natural world, there was a lot of false bravado, but there was no such thing as false submission. The weak would definitely be destroyed. (To be continued)
