“Stay right behind me,” said Ethan Clark, as he once again took off at low altitude. Flying low made it easier to dodge and maneuver, and in the midst of the mutant spider swarm, their strongest mutant spider silk couldn’t be used to its full effect.

Ethan Clark led the way, with Olivia Smith and Emily Harris following closely behind. Ethan Clark punched a path forward. Because he was bringing Olivia Smith and Emily Harris with him, there were some attacks he couldn’t completely avoid, but Olivia Smith and Emily Harris could withstand them, and Ethan Clark could focus on clearing a path.

With Ethan Clark’s super-fast method of breaking through, they covered several hundred meters in just a few minutes.

“Master…” In the distance, the fifth disciple Lucas Walker was covered in blood, one arm already lost, carrying Ethan Clark’s third disciple Benjamin Clark on his back. Lucas Walker held his sword in one hand, only able to dodge and defend among the many mutant spiders, with no strength left to counterattack. Finally seeing Ethan Clark, Lucas Walker shouted, his body swaying as he was about to collapse, while several mutant spiders around him were already pouncing.

The distance between them was now less than twenty meters. The farther away, the harder it was to see clearly; Ethan Clark was a bit better off. When using his ability, he found his visibility increased greatly. When Olivia Smith and Emily Harris could only vaguely see Lucas Walker, he could already see clearly.

Not good… Seeing Lucas Walker and Benjamin Clark in danger, Ethan Clark had no time to worry about Olivia Smith and Emily Harris behind him.

“Boom… boom… boom…” He suddenly accelerated, but the mutant spiders were close and many were pouncing.

As Ethan Clark charged forward, he raised his hand and, with a wave, five lightning strikes precisely killed the five mutant spiders threatening Lucas Walker.

As the number one lightning ability user in the ability group, Ethan Clark could control up to eight lightning strikes at once. Aside from him, the strongest on record among lightning ability users could only control four, and even then, accuracy was questionable. Strangely, there were rarely more than one lightning ability user in the same era.

“Yibo…” Ethan Clark rushed over and, with one arm, picked up both Lucas Walker and Benjamin Clark.

Lucas Walker had tightly strapped the unconscious Benjamin Clark to his back. There wasn’t a single spot on Lucas Walker’s body that was uninjured, some wounds light, some severe.

Fortunately, he had avoided the fatal spots, so his injuries weren’t too serious. Otherwise, he would have been dead already.

But on his back, Benjamin Clark, aside from being unconscious and a few obvious wounds from earlier, had no other injuries.

Well done. Ethan Clark couldn’t help but admire his fifth disciple.

“Get out of the way!” As Ethan Clark picked up Lucas Walker, the surrounding mutant spiders charged at them again in a frenzy.

The wounds on Lucas Walker, especially the severed arm, ignited Ethan Clark’s fury.

“Chain Thunderstorm!” Ethan Clark punched out, and the powerful force blasted dozens of mutant spiders into pieces, sending them flying in all directions.

“Master, how are Fifth and Third Senior Brothers?” Olivia Smith and Emily Harris, taking advantage of the aftermath of Ethan Clark’s powerful move, broke through the encirclement of mutant spiders and rushed to Ethan Clark’s side. Both were very anxious about the injuries of Benjamin Clark and Lucas Walker.

“Ah… Fifth Senior Brother, his arm…” Emily Harris saw blood still spurting from Lucas Walker’s severed arm, her whole body trembling, shaking with anger and rage.

“I’ll wipe you all out!” Emily Harris swung her sword, and the furious sword energy, three meters long, severely injured a mutant spider and sent it flying, knocking over several others that charged forward.

In the midst of slaughter and rage, Emily Harris suddenly unleashed several times her usual strength. In that instant, her power broke through the peak of the fourth level of Lingxiao Vital Energy, entering the fifth level. She had been stuck at the late stage of the fourth level for over a year without a breakthrough, and unexpectedly, she advanced at this very moment.

Reaching the fifth level of Lingxiao Vital Energy also marked that Emily Harris’s strength had reached the mid-stage of flight mastery.

“Master, is there any other way…” Olivia Smith’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ethan Clark.

“If the arm was still there, maybe there’d be a way.” Ethan Clark frowned as he looked at Lucas Walker’s arm, feeling a pang in his heart. Suddenly, Ethan Clark’s eyes lit up, because he noticed something at Lucas Walker’s severed arm…

At that moment, the mutant spiders charged again.

“Thundercloud!” Ethan Clark raised his hand, and a thundercloud enveloped Olivia Smith, Lucas Walker, and Benjamin Clark. Emily Harris had just broken through her bottleneck in a fit of rage, and after so many years of suppression, plus everything that had just happened, it was good to let her vent a little.

Otherwise, it would become a problem sooner or later.

It would be difficult to kill all these mutant spiders at once—they just kept coming. Now Ethan Clark wanted to carefully check Lucas Walker’s condition, so he used the thundercloud to let the mutant spiders attack as they pleased.

Ethan Clark carefully examined Lucas Walker’s severed arm and found that half of it had been torn, while the other half had been cut off—a result only a very sharp sword could achieve.

Ethan Clark’s heart stirred. The fifth disciple, Lucas Walker, was always quiet and not good at communicating with others. Even with his master or fellow disciples, he rarely spoke. As Sophia Sullivan put it, Fifth Senior Brother was cold and cool.
