With his personality, he might really be capable of doing such a thing. In that case, there’s no need to worry too much. Reattaching a severed arm is an easy matter in the cultivation world, but to restore a damaged body out of thin air is not so simple.

Unfortunately, his own healing ability could only repair objects outside of living beings—if only...

Not thinking about that, Ethan Clark checked on Benjamin Clark again. Benjamin Clark’s external injuries weren’t too severe, but his internal injuries were serious; all his organs had shifted, clearly caused by overexertion and external impact.

“Master, now that we’ve rescued Third and Fifth Junior Brothers, let’s hurry and fight our way out.” Olivia Smith saw that his master hadn’t left immediately, and with countless mutant spiders frantically attacking all around, even though his master was displaying strength beyond that of an early Nascent Soul expert, Olivia Smith still wanted to play it safe.

At this moment, Emily Harris, who had charged into the midst of the mutant spider lords with a burst of sharp energy, was also starting to lose steam after a series of powerful attacks. After all, she had just broken through to the mid Airborne stage, and even at that level, under the frenzied assault of these mutant spiders, there was only one possible outcome if the fighting continued.

“Leave???” Ethan Clark handed Lucas Walker and Benjamin Clark over to Olivia Smith, and looked coldly at the surrounding mutant spiders. “Just leaving like this—wouldn’t that be letting these beasts off too easily?”

Olivia Smith almost cried out in shock. Good heavens, what else does Master want to do?

“Master, whatever it is, let’s talk about it later. Right now, saving Third and Fifth Junior Brothers is the priority, and besides, Fourth Junior Brother is still unconscious.”

“Where there’s poison, there’s often an antidote. Fourth Junior Brother was poisoned by the mutant spiders—if we kill the mutant spider king, maybe everything will be resolved. As for Third and Fifth Junior Brothers, I’ve already checked them. Their injuries are serious, but they can still hold on for a while.”

Olivia Smith was puzzled. “Then can’t we send Third and Fifth Junior Brothers out first, and come back later?”

“Boom...” There was danger on Emily Harris’s side. Ethan Clark raised his hand and struck down a mutant spider with a bolt of lightning. “Do you think we’ll have another chance to come back in? Henry Reed and the people from Qingming Mountain—they’re all trouble for us. We must kill this mutant spider king now. After all this effort, don’t you want to see what’s really going on here?”

Just as Ethan Clark himself said, he had already considered it: if they didn’t kill the mutant spiders and investigate what was really here this time, there would never be another chance.

He felt that whatever could cause such a huge change in the mortal world in such a short time was definitely not something ordinary. He had to take a look while no one was paying attention. Once the people from Qingming Mountain or Emei Sect arrived, there would be no chance to intervene.

“Kill!” As Ethan Clark spoke, he had already killed off the mutant spiders around Emily Harris, leading them straight toward the center.

Chapter 9: Mutant Spider King (Part 2)

No choice... Olivia Smith and Emily Harris could only follow on either side of Ethan Clark, charging toward the very center of Misty Town.

Olivia Smith, carrying Benjamin Clark and Lucas Walker, followed behind Ethan Clark and rushed straight into the densest part of the mutant spider swarm. Now, even Second Junior Sister had broken through to late Airborne stage, and Master was as formidable as if possessed by a deity. But as he carried Third and Fifth Junior Brothers in this chaotic battle, could he really keep them safe?

Should he hand them over to Second Junior Sister, or tell Master... But after all, he was the eldest senior brother—protecting Third and Fifth Junior Brothers was his responsibility. Master was clearly heading for the mutant spider king, and he couldn’t cause trouble for Master. Second Junior Sister had just broken through, but the earlier battle had already drained her a lot.

Olivia Smith’s heart was in turmoil, plagued by self-doubt, yet thinking about everything from every angle. Whether it was Master Ethan Clark, Junior Sister Emily Harris, or the already unconscious Third and Fifth Junior Brothers, he thought of them all. The more he thought, the more confused he became, his mind wandering as he followed behind Ethan Clark.

“Boom...” Just as Olivia Smith was distracted, a sudden “lightning strike” crashed down on him.

“Ah... Master!!” Emily Harris cried out in shock. Although Ethan Clark didn’t look back and kept clearing the way ahead, killing most of the mutant spiders blocking their path from all directions, he had deliberately left some on her side. But on Eldest Senior Brother’s side, not a single mutant spider could get through. Who would have thought Master would suddenly strike at Eldest Senior Brother?

A mistake? Impossible—Master could easily control the lightning.

Emily Harris saw Olivia Smith struck by lightning and her mind went blank. She had witnessed the power of Master’s lightning before—after a hit like that, Eldest Senior Brother, Third, and Fifth Junior Brothers would probably be reduced to ashes.

Olivia Smith himself felt dizzy, as if he’d been shocked by electricity, but suddenly snapped completely awake.

Not dead... Eldest Senior Brother, Third, and Fifth Junior Brothers were all fine. Only then did Emily Harris’s wildly pounding heart finally settle down when she saw Olivia Smith was unharmed.

“Losing focus in battle is a grave mistake. If you get killed because of that, I might as well strike you down myself. Remember, there’s no room for even the slightest error on the battlefield. Whatever’s on your mind, set it aside. What you need to learn is to focus all your attention on the task at hand.”
