Although Long Yan heard the sound, by the time he reacted, it was already too late. Although the Ming Spider was exceptionally slow, that's only referring to its movement speed. Considering how large it was, the speed at which it fell from the sky was unimaginable, causing the ground to instantly crack inch by inch. Long Yan originally wanted to dodge but only managed to move away from the Ming Spider's landing point, yet he was still inevitably flung out by it.
The immense power made Long Yan feel a sweetness in his throat. A mouthful of fresh red blood spurted from his mouth. Bear in mind, he currently had no True Qi to block, and this level of attack was completely comparable to a slap from the Cracked Earth Bear. Long Yan was knocked backward, crashing into the big cauldron in the Square.
