Legend of the Asura Emperor

"What is this thing?" Looking at the strange liquid under his feet, Jun Han couldn't help but mutter to himself. This liquid was flowing in the passage, and there was quite a lot of it. After wiping the sticky stuff off his feet, Jun Han continued forward. Of course, this time Jun Han was much more careful and tried not to step on the sticky stuff.

After passing through numerous forks in the road, Jun Han and Wukong finally landed in an extremely open space. This underground space was several hundred square meters in size. The entire floor of the underground space was covered with that kind of slime, and above, clumps of slime were bundled together and hung from the ceiling. They looked like pipa (Chinese lutes) hanging on trees, only these 'pipa' were much larger and extremely disgusting.

"What kind of hellhole is this?" Looking at the disgusting environment around him, even Jun Han couldn't help but feel a little horrified. However, when Murong Ming saw what was hanging above, his expression immediately changed drastically.

Within those clumps of slime resembling a pipa, one could vaguely see something resembling a demonic beast. With his eyes wide open, Jun Han could clearly see that there was indeed a demonic beast encased within the slime clumps, and the slowly flowing aura proved that the beast was still alive!

Besides the monster, the other slime clumps also contained creatures, and there were even human figures among them. The monsters and humans trapped in the slime had extremely weak auras, but they were undoubtedly still alive.

"That's right! This is where that thing stores its 'food'. It wraps up the monsters or people it can't finish eating in its mucus and hangs them here to keep them 'fresh'!" Instantly, Jun Han understood what was going on with the people hanging up here. Just as Jun Han was about to put all these stored 'food' down, a strong sense of crisis instantly woke him up.

With a single step, Jun Han's figure darted out like lightning. Just as Jun Han's foot moved, a pitch-black shadow suddenly crashed down on the spot where Jun Han had been standing. With a 'boom,' the giant shadow landed, and after narrowly dodging the sneak attack, Jun Han turned around and saw the thing that had been lurking in the cave.

Upon seeing this thing, Jun Han's heart clenched instantly, and his breathing became rapid. The thing in front of him could not be described as a demonic beast at all; it was practically a monster. Its huge, spider-like body had eighteen long, hairy, segmented legs, and on top of this spider-like body, on its centipede-like waist, stood an extremely ferocious head.

The monster's entire body was a deep blue color. Although there was no light source around, Jun Han could still see that the strange monster's body seemed to be emitting a faint glow. From the mouth of its ferocious ghost head, its sharp, pincer-like teeth dripped thick, sticky fluid. This fluid was the same fluid that had enveloped the people and monsters on the ground around them.

"Damn it... what... what the hell is this thing?!" Looking at the monster in front of him, which could no longer be called a beast, Murong Ming quickly took two steps back. In just a moment, the monster's strange appearance and huge body made Murong Ming feel suppressed.

"Hiss!! Hiss!!!"

The strange cries echoed continuously, and the monster's four large eyes emitted a sinister, eerie blue light. Jun Han could not sense any rationality from this monster; all he felt was ferocity and hatred driven by endless hunger. This monster was different from other demons and spirit beasts; it was absolutely impossible to communicate with it through language. The only possible response was to kill it on the spot.

The aura within the demon was extremely powerful, probably reaching the mid-stage of the fifth rank. Such power is roughly equivalent to the fourth or fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm in a human cultivator. Of course, this is only calculated based on the amount of vital energy. The physical advantages that each demon possesses will definitely create an even greater gap between them.

"Hiss!! Hiss!"

Just as Jun Han's hand conjured a blood-red longsword, the demon's eighteen hairy legs kicked out, and then, with a speed completely disproportionate to its size, the demon instantly appeared before Jun Han.

Seeing how fast the monster moved, Jun Han was startled and immediately retreated. His longsword flashed with silver light, and in the next moment, streaks of strong silver sword energy were unleashed at the monster in front of him.

'Swipe swipe swipe'

Eighteen long, hairy legs, like spiders, constantly shook off Jun Han's sword energy. At the same time, the monster opened its mouth wide, and the next moment, a ball of slime the size of a washbasin immediately sprayed out from Xia He's mouth. Jun Han didn't want to be covered in such slime, much less be used as food reserves.

Seeing Jun Han dodge, the monster spewed even more vigorously, spraying out the spittle like a machine gun, making Jun Han constantly exhausted and running around. It was astonishing how fast the monster was spitting out the spittle.

Jun Han didn't dare to be careless. With a swift movement, he darted in front of the monster, and his long sword was instantly drawn again, aimed at one of the monster's legs.

'when!!'

The sound of metal clashing echoed all around. With just one strike, Jun Han felt a sudden weight on his right hand, which was holding the blood-red longsword. This monster was not only strange in its attack methods, but also extremely strong. The blood-red longsword could not cut through this monster, which was truly astonishing.

"Hiss!!"

Enraged by Jun Han's strike, the demon roared and its eighteen legs began to attack Jun Han relentlessly.

Although these attacks were quite large, their speed was astonishing. Moreover, Jun Han vaguely sensed that the monster's foot attacks were clearly methodical and not random, putting Jun Han on the defensive for a time. The continuous attacks seemed to be designed to give Jun Han no time to breathe. In addition to the frenzied attacks of its eighteen long legs, the monster was also constantly spitting out mucus, trying to stick Jun Han to it. Faced with such a multi-pronged attack, Jun Han couldn't find a good way to counterattack for a while.

With a clang, Jun Han's longsword was instantly drawn, blocking a heavy blow. At the same time, Jun Han's figure darted up the beast's furry legs like lightning.

After all, struggling with his feet all day wasn't a solution. So, he darted up and slashed his sword at the spider-like abdomen.

But the next moment, Jun Han felt a sense of danger surge up again.

Sure enough, as Jun Han sprang up, the monster's enormous belly suddenly opened, revealing dozens of long needles that shimmered with blue light. The next moment, these needles shot out from the monster's belly and stabbed towards Jun Han at lightning speed.
