84: Chapter 84 Closing the Net

As for the Sea of Thorns, a skill with a range limit seemed somewhat restrictive for Tang Mo.

If someone were nearby, Tang Mo wouldn't be able to cast this skill at all.

Tang Mo already had the Highly Poisonous Skeleton, so he didn't consider the Thorn Giant.

After evolving both skills, Tang Mo's gaze was drawn to the special grade skill secret tome in his hand.

"Three options, give me a powerful legendary-grade skill!"

After channeling his mental energy into the secret tome, the special grade skill secret tome instantly transformed into a burst of golden light, condensing three legendary-grade skill options before Tang Mo.

Poison Burst Spider: Summons a spider made of condensed poison that automatically seeks out enemies. Upon encountering a target, it explodes, dealing 100% poison attribute damage. After the explosion, it creates a 300-square-meter venom zone, which deals 90% continuous poison attribute damage to any targets that enter the zone.

Poison Accumulation: Increases one's own strength by absorbing surrounding toxins. The more toxin absorbed, the greater the increase in strength. (The specific limit varies from person to person; the higher the stamina value, the more toxin can be absorbed.)

Venom Wings: Generates a pair of wings made of condensed poison, granting a flight speed equal to 80% of one's agility. The duration is determined by the spirit value.

After carefully reviewing the three legendary-grade skills, Tang Mo had already made his choice.

First, the Poison Burst Spider was somewhat similar to his poison spirit doll, though its damage output was slightly lower.

Poison Accumulation increased one's strength for a short time by absorbing toxins, which might be a good choice for melee Professionals, but Tang Mo was a mage; he didn't want to carry his staff and go toe-to-toe with ferocious beasts.

As for the Venom Wings, it was a very good movement skill that could provide Tang Mo with an escape method at critical moments.

But, as long as he was strong enough, it should be the ferocious beasts that need to run.

Consequently, Tang Mo decisively chose the Poison Burst Spider. It could be used alternately with the poison spirit doll to make up for his output downtime; it was simply perfect.

Looking at the advanced skill secret tome lying in his storage space, Tang Mo suddenly didn't want to use it anymore.

With a special grade skill secret tome, who would still use this advanced one?

It was like gambling; what kind of skill you got depended entirely on luck.

It wasn't as satisfying as this special grade skill secret tome; those skills were really impressive.

However, where was he supposed to get another special grade skill secret tome?

Tang Mo started to worry, but soon he thought of the Professional Management Association.

"I'll just go ask when the time comes."

...

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave outside Ning Tong City, Zhao Hongfei stared gloomily at the campfire on the ground. Sitting next to him was Zhang Bin, whose gaze was equally terrifyingly gloomy.

It turned out that right after Tang Mo finished reporting the situation in Jiangkou City to Wei Shenchou, the rest of the Heavenly Sword Bureau had already begun their operation to close the net.

After all, with communication equipment being so advanced nowadays, the great battle in Jiangkou City couldn't possibly go unnoticed.

Zhao Hongfei had also arrived in Ning Tong City in advance under his father's arrangements.

Soon, news of Zhao Tianba's death arrived. Before Zhang Xinyuan and the others from the Dayang Guild could make any moves, Wei Shenchou had already killed his way over.

The strength of the Heavenly Sword Bureau personnel naturally could not be underestimated, especially since Wei Shenchou was the Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Sword Bureau.

The Dayang Guild's president, Yang Shu, was killed by Wei Shenchou in a single encounter; after all, the gap in their levels and strength was quite significant.

Fortunately, Zhang Xinyuan used the geographical advantage to send his son, Zhao Hongfei, and a few others to a highly concealed cave outside the city beforehand, allowing them to escape the disaster, while he himself undoubtedly fell into the hands of Wei Shenchou.

Although Zhang Xinyuan was a battle formation master, in the face of true, absolute strength, schemes were useless.

After eliminating everyone from the Dayang Guild, Wei Shenchou came to the outskirts of Ning Tong City to face the Beast God that had descended upon Ning Tong City alone—a twelve-legged Demon-Faced Poison Spider, even larger than the Dark-Winged White Tiger.

That twelve-legged Demon-Faced Poison Spider was no match for Wei Shenchou and was directly hacked to pieces by him.

"Hmm? Not bad luck; it actually dropped two pieces of supreme-grade equipment. I can finally replace those diamond-grade equipment pieces on me."

Wei Shenchou walked forward with a smile on his face to pick up the equipment and some items from the ground; he was feeling incredibly pleased.

Even for the Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, not all of his equipment was supreme-grade.

This shows that the drop rate for equipment is truly exceptionally low.

Zhang Bin, Zhao Hongfei, and the others, hiding in the cave far away, clearly heard the commotion of the battle outside.

Fortunately, this cave was far enough away and sufficiently hidden, which allowed them to avoid this battle.

"Heavenly Sword Bureau, Wei Shenchou! I will definitely not let you off!"

"Don't do anything reckless. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

A man wrapped in a black trench coat said coldly, his words carrying a hint of murderous intent.

It was all because of Zhang Xinyuan that their plan failed; the entire force they had carefully cultivated in Ning Tong City had been destroyed by the Heavenly Sword Bureau just like that.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhang Bin, who was sitting to the side.

"Whatever, at least this kid is here to take the blame. When the time comes, if we push all the fault onto him, the Guild President shouldn't blame us."

Feeling the black-clad man's gaze, Zhang Bin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although he was a pampered second-generation heir, he was much smarter than Zhao Hongfei. Seeing the man's malicious gaze, he had already realized this; if he really went back with them to the Beast God's headquarters in the Endless Forest, he would likely be doomed with no chance of survival.

However, not only was the other party higher in level and strength, but there were also six or seven people sitting nearby who took orders from him; he was definitely no match for them.

"It seems I can only look for an opportunity to escape slowly."

"I'm warning you, don't try any tricks with me. At the very least, we cannot show our faces for this week."

"The area for hundreds of miles around Ning Tong City is likely under the surveillance of the Heavenly Sword Bureau. Once discovered, there will be no way out but death."

A tear fell from the corner of Zhao Hongfei's eye, and he turned back to stare gloomily at the campfire. "Rest assured, I won't throw my life away. My father's revenge hasn't been avenged yet."

The man in black couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him; if these two brats dared to sneak out, he would just cripple them directly—they were doomed to die anyway.

The sounds outside stopped very quickly. The people hiding in the cave dared not even breathe loudly. The man in black even extinguished the fire directly, fearing that it would attract the powerful figures from the Heavenly Sword Bureau.

Terrifying!

It was simply too terrifying!

The battle actually ended so quickly!

The people from the Heavenly Sword Bureau are indeed terrifyingly strong!

The man in black was greatly shocked, because he knew in his heart that the outcome of this battle was definitely not a victory for that Beast God. The item on him that maintained contact with the Beast God, the twelve-legged Demon-Faced Poison Spider, had shattered.

This also meant that Lord twelve-legged Demon-Faced Poison Spider had already died!

"To be able to eliminate Lord Demon-Faced Poison Spider in such a short time, that Wei Shenchou's strength is truly extraordinary."
