145: Falling from the peak, so terrifying

Under the moonlight, Jiang Lan clearly saw the appearance of the Spider Demon before him.

Unlike the giant spider he had imagined, this Spider Demon, aside from its towering height, had a torso almost identical to a human's, except for two pairs of sharp spikes protruding from her back.

Apart from the Spider Demon's height of over a zhang, her figure was exceptionally good.

The places that should be prominent were prominent, and the places that should be concave were concave.

Her figure could be described as extremely slender and flexible, exuding the magnetic beauty of a leopard.

The most crucial thing was that this demon had no clothes on.

Not even the slightest covering.

For a moment, Jiang Lan felt a bit uncomfortable just looking at her.

However, as Jiang Lan's gaze moved upwards and he saw the Spider Demon's face, that slight feeling of discomfort completely vanished.

Though she had a human body, the Spider Demon's face was not human.

It was a spider's head, covered in bristles like iron needles, with a pair of huge mouthparts constantly opening and closing, and above them, two rows of eight neatly arranged compound eyes.

If Jiang Lan had to give an evaluation... his evaluation would be: hard to say.

Liu Wei also saw the Spider Demon burst through the door.

However, the moment he saw the Spider Demon, Liu Wei became wary and loudly told Jiang Lan: “Brother, be careful.”

Jiang Lan waved his hand dismissively.

“It’s fine, Brother Liu, just watch from the side. I’ll deal with this ugly thing.”

“Human, did you call Her Ladyship ugly?” The Spider Demon’s voice grew even more sinister, leaving no doubt that she wanted to eat Jiang Lan.

“Tsk…” Jiang Lan raised his head, releasing his Core Formation Realm Aura without reservation, “I said you’re ugly, is that not allowed?”

In an instant, the Spider Demon felt an Aura like a raging storm surge towards her.

Her expression changed drastically!

Although that spider face couldn't make any expressions, Jiang Lan could still feel that her expression must have changed at that moment.

Liu Wei stood behind Jiang Lan, a little confused for a moment.

Because the Aura from Jiang Lan was only directed at the Spider Demon and did not affect Liu Wei.

After all, having reached the Core Formation Realm, Jiang Lan still possessed such minor techniques.

However, although Liu Wei was confused, he wasn't foolish.

He also knew that in this situation, it was best to observe from the sidelines.

Jiang Lan's strength was far greater than his; if he said he didn't need him, then he truly didn't.

At this moment, the Spider Demon's pair of mouthparts trembled.

“Fine!”

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

How long had it been since he had encountered such a reasonable demon?

This suddenness made him a little unaccustomed.

But if that's the case, then it's good.

It saved him a step of intimidation.

Jiang Lan pointed behind the door and said:

“What’s inside?”

Although he couldn't discern the Spider Demon's expression, it was clear that she was currently hesitating.

“If you tell me, I can let you die a quick death.” Jiang Lan said, “If you don’t, don’t beg me later.”

Spider Demon: “?”

So, no matter what, I’m going to die, huh?

Then why should I even say anything... “Swoosh!”

Opposite her, Jiang Lan struck with a speed she couldn't possibly catch.

With a swift movement of his hand and Saber, accompanied by a soft sound, one of the sharp spikes on the Spider Demon's back fell to the ground.

Spider Demon: “?”

The Spider Demon didn't move, and neither did Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

Something’s not right.

Shouldn’t she be screaming in agony right now?

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something, and his expression turned a little ugly.

Well done, arthropods don't feel pain, do they?

Cutting off the arthropod limb from the Spider Demon's back was equivalent to clipping her nails?

That was indeed reasonable.

What about the torso?

Since she had already transformed and had a torso, it couldn't be that she still had no pain sensation, could it?

Acting on his thought, Jiang Lan once again picked up his long Saber, and with a downward slash, the Saber light struck a long, plump thigh of the Spider Demon.

“Swoosh!”

As a section of her thigh fell to the ground, the Spider Demon's body swayed and she directly sat on the ground, emitting an unbearable, ear-piercing shriek of pain from her mouthparts.

“Ah…!”

Jiang Lan’s expression was a little strange.

Hmm, that’s more reasonable.

After the Spider Demon shrieked for a while, Jiang Lan spoke:

“Stop screaming. I’m asking you a question.”

The Spider Demon no longer struggled, as if resigned to her fate.

She had no choice but to resign herself.

She could only blame her bad luck.

Encountering a Core Formation Martial Artist, no matter how much she endured, it would be useless.

Without further hesitation, the Spider Demon directly said:

“There are precious medicines inside! They will mature in five more days!”

Precious medicines?

This was the first time Jiang Lan had heard this term.

However, he was a Transmigrator from later generations, and he had read many novels before his Transmigration, so he almost instinctively understood what these precious medicines were.

They must be Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Either eaten directly or refined into pills and then eaten; either way, there would be benefits.

Jiang Lan asked again: “What about a Legacy? Is there one?”

“I don’t know anything about a Legacy!”

Jiang Lan’s face was expressionless.

Initially, he had intended to try and extract some useful information from this Spider Demon, but now it seemed there was no need to ask.

“Alright, since you answered so readily, I’ll give you a quick end.”

Jiang Lan once again struck with his Saber, and a golden-red Saber Qi sliced through the air, directly cutting into the Spider Demon’s neck.

A large spider head flew up and then fell heavily to the ground.

“Next life, when you take human form, make yourself look better.”

Just looking at the body, it was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.

Sheathing his Saber, Jiang Lan turned to Liu Wei and said: “Alright, Brother Liu, it’s over.”

“Ah?” Liu Wei still hadn’t fully reacted.

How was it over?

To be honest, the moment he saw the Spider Demon’s head fall, his mind was still blank.

He had thought this would likely be a fierce battle, with both sides exchanging blows, back and forth, and ultimately Brother Jiang would win by a single move, slaying the Spider Demon.

But now it seemed that it was completely different!

He just asked two questions, and then, like slaughtering a chicken, he directly killed the Spider Demon?

A Peak Mortal Shedding Martial Artist was actually this terrifying?

Earlier, Jiang Lan’s Qi was only directed at the Spider Demon and did not leak out at all, so Liu Wei didn't know Jiang Lan's current Realm, only thinking he was still at the Peak of Mortal Shedding.

Seeing Liu Wei standing there in a daze, Jiang Lan said again:

“What’s wrong? Are there other demons?”

“Ah?” Liu Wei reacted, quickly saying, “No, no, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go in!”

After speaking, he hastily bypassed the Spider Demon’s corpse and walked towards the building.

Jiang Lan followed a step behind Liu Wei and said:

“This place doesn’t look like an Immortal Cave.”

In Jiang Lan’s opinion, an Immortal Cave should be something like a mountain cave.

But this thing was clearly a building.

To put it bluntly, it was a large bungalow.

“Oh, it’s nothing, doesn’t calling it an Immortal Cave sound a bit more classy?”

Jiang Lan: “...”

How very classy.

But it was true.

When Liu Wei told him about the Ancestor’s Immortal Cave earlier, he almost thought it was the ‘Immortal’ of Immortal.

Now it seemed it should be the ‘Ancestor’ of Ancestor.

The two walked into the ‘Immortal Cave’ while talking.
