Chapter 337
No Retreat! Retreat means death!
The human-faced spider clearly hadn't expected that this tiny human would be able to dodge its deadly attacks twice in a row.
The face, composed of white patterns, seemed even more distorted, its eight purple eyes flashing with furious light.
It let out a sharp, piercing screech, like metal scraping against metal, and its massive body started up again. Its eight long legs transformed into a black phantom that reaped lives, charging towards Tang San, who was staggering backward, with a relentless killing intent!
It's faster than before!
Tang San's heart sank to the bottom.
Physical strength was being rapidly depleted, and soul power was decreasing drastically as the poison was suppressed and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Technique was activated. The numbness in half of his body was getting stronger and stronger, which seriously affected the agility of his movements.
The human-faced spider, however, seemed like a tireless killing machine, attacking wave after wave!
"We cannot retreat! Retreat means death!"
A near-mad determination flashed in Tang San's eyes. Xiao Wu was still waiting for him; he couldn't die here!
The Purple Demon Eyes were locked on the charging demon spider, especially its eight compound eyes that shimmered with purple light and its relatively fragile joints.
His right hand quietly retracted into his sleeve, locking the mechanism of the silent hidden arrow.
His left hand rested lightly on his waist, where the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was hidden!
The human-faced spider arrived in an instant!
Its two front legs, like venomous dragons emerging from their caves, once again stabbed towards Tang San's chest!
This time, it seemed to have anticipated Tang San's possible dodge direction. Its other two long legs, like iron whips, blocked Tang San's retreat route from the left and right with a whistling sound!
Its remaining four legs were firmly planted on the ground, supporting its body, ready to launch a thunderous attack!
Four streaks of dark light sealed off all of Tang San's escape routes! A foul stench filled the air, the stench of death so thick it was suffocating!
At this critical moment, Tang San made his move!
Instead of trying to dodge the fatal frontal thrust, he made a move that even surprised the spider—he took a step forward, his body like a moth drawn to a flame, actively facing the two black spears aimed at his chest!
However, just as the two spears were about to pierce Tang San's body, Tang San's body suddenly leaned back at an incredible angle, almost parallel to the ground!
The gentle strength of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the exquisite footwork of the Ghost Shadow Mystery were brought to their fullest potential at this moment!
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Two spears grazed Tang San's nose and chest, the force of the blows making his cheeks sting!
He narrowly escaped the fatal blow!
At the same time, Tang San's backward-leaning body was suddenly released like a taut bowstring! His right hand, which had been tucked into his sleeve, rose up with lightning speed!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Five barely perceptible whooshing sounds rang out! Five sleeve darts, crafted from fine steel, shot out from Tang San's sleeves at such close range, like five deadly cold stars!
The target was the eight compound eyes that shimmered with purple light around the hideous human face on the lower abdomen of the human-faced spider!
How exquisite are Tang San's hidden weapon techniques?
At such close range, and in that instant when the Human-Faced Demon Spider had just exhausted its old power and had not yet generated new power, and was slightly taken aback by Tang San's suicidal act!
Puff puff puff!
Five extremely faint, muffled sounds, like needles pricking leather, rang out almost simultaneously!
"squeak--!!!"
A piercing scream, sharp enough to tear eardrums, suddenly erupted from the manta ray's hideous maw! The sound was filled with pain, rage, and disbelief!
Five hidden arrows struck the five compound eyes that were flashing with purple light with perfect accuracy!
A viscous liquid, a mixture of dark green and purple, burst forth from the shattered eyeball!
The enormous body of the human-faced spider trembled violently, its eight long legs flailing wildly, whipping the surrounding ground and trees into a mess!
The excruciating pain instantly drove it into a frenzy!
However, Tang San's killer move has only just begun!
Just as the hidden arrow was fired, he suddenly swung his left hand, which was resting on his waist!
"Click!" A crisp mechanical sound rang out!
"Om-!"
Amidst a deafening, chilling hum of springs, a dark, cold light burst forth from Tang San's waist like a torrential downpour! It was the Zhuge Divine Crossbow!
Sixteen specially made steel crossbow bolts, at such close range, completely covered the vital chest and abdomen of the human-faced spider, which was writhing wildly in pain and exposing more vulnerabilities!
Especially that distorted "face" and the area around the compound eyes!
Puff puff puff puff puff...!
A series of rapid, piercing sounds rang out! This time, the sounds were no longer slight muffled thuds, but rather like heavy hammer blows striking rotten wood!
How terrifying was the penetrating power of Zhuge's crossbow?
Especially when Tang San infused his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy!
The human-faced spider's proudly hard carapace was finally breached by the barrage of fire at such close range!
At least seven or eight crossbow bolts were deeply embedded in the carapace of the human-faced spider, especially the area between its eyebrows and eye sockets, which were given special attention!
Dark green fluid gushed out of those horrific wounds like a fountain!
One of the crossbow bolts even pierced through a relatively weak joint connection and got stuck inside!
"Squeak squeak squeak—!!!"
The hiss of the human-faced spider had turned into a desperate wail. Its massive body shook violently as if it were drunk. Its eight long legs could no longer support it, and it collapsed to its knees, smashing the ground into a deep crater.
It struggled frantically, trying to pull the crossbow bolts out of its body with its long legs, but only to tear the wounds wider. Dark green poisonous blood and bodily fluids flowed all over the ground, emitting a pungent stench and a hissing, corrosive sound.
Tang San was breathing heavily, the numbness in half of his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the Xuan Tian Gong could hardly suppress the invading neurotoxin.
He stubbornly refused to collapse, his Purple Demon Eyes fixed on the dying spider, his gaze as cold as ice.
He knew that this ferocious beast had an extremely tenacious vitality, and he could not relax until the very last moment.
He slowly raised his left hand, and another gleaming sleeve dart slid out from his sleeve, aiming at the three remaining purple eyes of the human-faced spider, which were flashing wildly in pain and fear.
"ended."
Tang San's voice was hoarse and cold, filled with intense killing intent.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger and deliver the final blow to this terrifying killer—
A sudden change has occurred!
A streak of azure light, like a cold bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, shot out from the depths of the dense forest behind Tang San without warning, at a speed beyond the limits of vision!
That stream of light was not a physical entity, but rather a highly condensed and extremely sharp sword aura!
Its precision was chilling; its target wasn't Tang San, but rather the dying human-faced demon spider on the ground!
"laugh--!"
A faint, almost imperceptible tearing sound rang out.
The cyan sword energy pierced with unparalleled precision into the area between the eyebrows of the human-faced demon spider's lower abdomen, where the face was distorted by pale patterns—the very area that Tang San had previously focused on with the Zhuge Crossbow, where the carapace was relatively thin and had already been damaged by the crossbow bolt!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The last, frantic twitching of the human-faced spider's massive body abruptly stopped.
The eight compound eyes, which had been flashing with purple light, instantly lost all their luster, like candles that had been blown out, leaving only empty darkness.
Its ferocious mouth was slightly open, but it could no longer utter a sound. A denser, almost solidified, dark green death aura emanated from the wound that had pierced its brow.
Life was extinguished in an instant! (End of Chapter)
