Chapter 0717: Shield Against the Arrows
To ensure a one-shot kill of Qi Tian, the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider used an ace from its treasure trove. After the jade talisman exploded, the released spiritual arrowheads numbered in the hundreds, perhaps thousands. Regardless of their quantity, these spiritual arrows weren't as large as ordinary arrows used in crossbows; in fact, they were only about half an inch long each, with the thickness of a strand of hair, compact and powerful. Each individual spiritual arrow was small, but encapsulated highly concentrated energy. Moreover, this was not ordinary energy, but rather psychic energy.
This psychic energy was incompatible with the psychic energy of cultivators; the two were like cold water and hot oil, with no possibility of peaceful coexistence, only explosive reactions. Should this kind of explosion occur within a cultivator's sea of consciousness or meridians, the consequences would be, as one can imagine, severe.
