The thing that appeared was a pitch-black giant spider, as large as a millstone. Its eight legs were as sharp as spears, covered in long hooked hairs, and a ferocious Ghost Face grew from the front of its head.
Judging from its appearance, it was a type of demon known as the Ghost Shadow Spider Demon. It excelled at concealing its tracks and bewitching hearts. So long as someone had even the slightest psychological weakness, it could exploit it and trigger inner demons.
Chen Qiaoshou was one of its victims. Without realizing it, he had been bewitched by the Ghost Shadow Spider Demon and developed an inner demon, which was why he had impulsively tried to use the black hand against Fan Lang.
As the Ghost Shadow Spider Demon appeared, hidden Spider Silk also revealed itself, spreading out in all directions from beneath its feet and sticking to different places. Some of the Spider Silk was attached to Chen Qiaoshou.
Chen Qiaoshou was shaken and hurriedly swung his blade at the Spider Silk clinging to him, but his strike hit nothing.
This Spider Silk was far from ordinary. It was insubstantial and could not bear force; it had no physical form at all. Ordinary methods could not even touch it, much less destroy it.
Fan Lang lent a small hand. With a casual wave, a wisp of Buddhist flame flew from his fingertips and burned away all the Spider Silk on Chen Qiaoshou's body.
The Buddhist flame followed the Spider Silk as it burned, racing straight toward the Ghost Shadow Spider Demon.
