Upon hearing this, Yamada pinched the bridge of his nose and said irritably.

"Ha...those idiots!"

"Can't we wait a little longer?"

"Recently, we've been targeted by the Sanyi Sect, which is a legendary major sect in the Xuanmen (mystical arts) world."

"If we're really targeted, we might all end up here!"

However, Kikuri disagreed.

"Is it necessary to be so afraid of them?"

"Let's not even talk about whether the Trinity Sect can find us with your barrier technique."

"Even if they do find us, with my Jorogumo and your Mirage, we are not without a fighting chance."

Kiku said confidently, extending her fair palm, on which a black spider slithered rapidly.

"Hmph, if only it were that easy to deal with."

"I fought with an ordinary disciple of the Sanyi Sect a few days ago."

"They can easily transform their skin and flesh into Qi, have extremely strong regenerative abilities, and possess very powerful strength."

"If we are surrounded by the enemy at the same time, they can wear us down even if they just try to buy us time."

As he spoke, Yamada's expression grew increasingly serious.

Then he walked to the window, couldn't help but sigh, took out a tortoise shell from his sleeve, and muttered something to himself, as if he were divining.

Seeing this, Kiku couldn't help but sneer, roll her eyes, and say sarcastically.

"Here we go again. I told you, Yamada, your fortune telling has never been accurate."

"All that calculating and scheming all day long, I don't even know what the point is!"

"Instead of wasting your time, why don't you come and keep me company in bed?"

"Let's have a good discussion about our life ideals and improve our self-cultivation."

At this point, Kiku touched her red lips with her finger, looked at Yamada with a charming gaze, and her voice resonated with a seductive power.

However, Yamada seemed to be used to this, not even raising his head, continuing to look down at the tortoise shell in his hand, and sternly refused, "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll die in bed if I sleep with a mother spider."

Upon hearing this, Kiku felt a wave of disappointment and turned away, ignoring Yamada completely.

Without Kikuri's interference, Yamada immersed himself in divination.

A moment later, he calculated in his mind that it would be very auspicious.

Just as he was about to share the divination results with Kiku, the barrier he had set up around the room was suddenly triggered.

"Enemy attack!"

Yamada gave a low shout.

The next moment, to Yamada and Kikuri's astonishment, the barrier outside the room shattered.

Then, a ball of white energy suddenly appeared in the room.

"You two are really quite relaxed! Stirring up trouble in our China, and yet you can lie around in a restaurant so leisurely—you've got some nerve!"

Changqing's fluent Japanese left Yamada and Kikuri momentarily stunned.

Immediately afterwards, two sword energies shot out and instantly slashed towards Yamada and Kikuri's heads.

The restaurant was crowded and noisy, so Changqing didn't intend to get into a fight with the two men and started by using heavy blows.

He unleashed two incredibly fast sword energies, aiming straight for their heads.

Yamada and Kiku were taken aback by the scene.

Yamada, who was closer to Changqing, was beheaded before he could react.

As for Kiku, she quickly rolled off the ground, sacrificing an arm to dodge the attack.

"Aaaaaah!!! My hand!"

Kiku screamed in agony as she clutched her bleeding arm.

Then, with a ferocious expression, she glared at Changqing and summoned her shikigami with a low shout.

"Come forth, Jorogumo!"

"Kill him!"

With a sharp roar, a burst of black energy emerged from Kiku's body, quickly transforming into a half-human, half-spider monster that stood in front of her.

Looking at this terrifying-looking monster, Changqing deeply felt the terrifying resentment within it.

"Just how many souls has this guy devoured?!"

Changqing murmured softly.

The next moment, Jorogumo's eight spider legs fully unfolded in the narrow room, revealing sharp bone spurs hanging upside down on her legs.

Meanwhile, the venom, glowing with a ghostly green light, slowly dripped down, leaving deep, corroded pits on the floor.

"That was really scary!"

Changqing muttered something, not giving Luo Xinfu any chance to make the first move.

Suddenly, he sprang up, stomped his left foot on the ground, and arrived in front of Jorogumo.

Then, he quickly slashed out with blood-red sword energy, intending to cleave it in two from top to bottom.

However, Jorogumo's speed was faster than Changqing had expected.

The half-human, half-spider monster slammed its eight spider legs into the ground the instant his sword fell.

The earthquake shattered the second-floor floor, causing Kiku to fall to the first floor with her.

Without a second's hesitation, the Jorogumo suddenly transformed into black mist, grabbed her chrysanthemum, and rushed out of the restaurant, running towards the crowd outside.

"Damn it, don't even think about running!"

Seeing that the new bride had suddenly slipped away, Changqing cursed under his breath and quickly transformed into qi to chase after her.

The two sides chased each other, weaving rapidly through the crowd.

While attracting attention, it also constantly stirs up riots.

After passing through three streets, Changqing finally blocked the other party's path in a narrow alley.

"Stop running, surrender!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave you with a complete corpse."

As Changqing spoke, he slowly walked towards Kiku and Jorogumo, his blood-red killing intent growing with each step.

Locked onto by this murderous intent, Kiku felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She immediately shouted, directing the Jorogumo to launch an attack on Changqing.

"Jorōgumo, quick! Go! Kill him!"

"Use your venom to turn him into blood!"

Upon receiving the order, the spiderwomen sprayed spider silk, which transformed into a large net that enveloped Changqing's entire body.

Then its eight spider legs quickly stuck to the wall, and it ran along the wall while spraying venom.

The venom was a ghostly green color, and it stretched into straight streaks in the air, corroding the air in its path with a hissing sound.

Changqing did not back down an inch in response.

He simply let the spider webs and venom fall, and his body transformed into qi, easily dodging Jorogumo's attack.

The two sides were clearly not on the same level. Without a mental attack, it would be impossible for Jorogumo, with her cultivation level, to hit Changqing, who was transformed by Qi.

Looking at Changqing's barely visible figure, Kiku felt that it was utterly outrageous.

He wondered what kind of ability Changqing possessed that allowed him to transform his body with Qi to such an extent.

How exactly do you hit a ball of Qi?

Kiku was shocked, but Changqing gave her no chance to catch her breath.

After Jorogumo launched her attack, Changqing moved with a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, bypassing Jorogumo's defenses and appearing in front of Kikuri.

Then he threw a punch, the fist tip mixed with blood-red sword intent, and the punch hit Kikuri's abdomen, completely destroying Kikuri's internal organs.

"Pfft!!"

Kiku spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with chunks of flesh and looked up at Changqing in disbelief.

Then his body quickly went limp, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

As for the shrieking Jorogumo that pounced on him again, Changqing didn't even turn his head.

At the moment when his opponent was closest to him, he casually unleashed a sword aura with a wave of his hand at point-blank range, instantly slicing Jorogumo's body into pieces, which then dissipated into black energy.
