The Rewards Were Incredible

Ding: Killed one 4,000-year Exploding Demon Bear. Reward: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Upon hearing the words "Gold Soul Coins," Liu Yi could not help but complain.

"Damn it, what use are 10,000 Gold Soul Coins to me after all this time? I want soul rings and soul bones! Damn, damn, damn!"

Yet the system seemed as though it did not exist at all, remaining completely silent.

Helpless, Liu Yi sat atop the Exploding Demon Bear's corpse and began to think.

"Killing a thousand-year soul beast rewards Gold Soul Coins. What about a ten-thousand-year one? Would it reward a soul bone?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Liu Yi hurriedly stood up.

"You guys, take the injured and leave the Star Dou Great Forest. Wait for me at the tavern in the town. I have something to take care of and will be back soon."

Long Yin helped Yang Tianlong up and asked in confusion, "Teacher, what are you going to take care of?"

"Why so many questions? Get out of here already."

Liu Yi shot Long Yin a glare, then turned and swiftly headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

The others looked at one another and could only leave with the injured.

Who knew how much time passed.

Liu Yi stopped walking. Before him stood a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Man Faced Demon Spider had yet to realize that someone was already eyeing its body and was still sleeping peacefully.

"A ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider. You'll do."

Liu Yi summoned the Seven Kill Sword and cautiously made his way toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Man Faced Demon Spider possessed a sturdy carapace, incredible speed, and eight long legs with immense piercing power that carried deadly venom. Even at the hundred-year level, it could contend with ordinary thousand-year soul beasts. Its most terrifying feature, however, was its spiderweb.

Ordinary spiders spun webs from silk, but it was different.

Its web was sprayed directly from its mouth. Not only was it extremely sticky, but it was also incredibly tough.

What was most horrifying was the terrifying neurotoxin attached to it.

A Man Faced Demon Spider could spray its web three times per day. Its first action upon seeing prey was always to spray its web.

Its weak point was obvious: its eight eyes. However, they were not without protection, as a transparent protective layer covered their surface.

Because of their excessively murderous nature, terrifying soul beasts like Man Faced Demon Spiders were often hunted by powerful soul beasts. Reaching a thousand years of cultivation was already extremely difficult, let alone ten thousand years.

Once a Man Faced Demon Spider reached ten thousand years of cultivation, it could gain the skill "Concealment."

The Concealment skill could not only hide its body, but also its aura. Even Tang San's detection abilities had failed to identify the existence of a ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, which showed just how powerful it was.

If he let it escape, such an excellent soul beast would be wasted.

At a distance of one hundred meters, Liu Yi's movements grew even lighter. He would not even step hard on a blade of grass.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Just as he was about to enter attack range, the Man Faced Demon Spider suddenly vanished.

Liu Yi immediately rushed forward and stopped where the Man Faced Demon Spider had disappeared.

"What happened? It suddenly disappeared?"

At the same time, a thick, fishy stench came from behind him.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Quake the Four Directions!"

Liu Yi did not dare hesitate. He immediately unleashed his Fifth Soul Skill.

With a muffled bang, more than ten Seven Kill Swords tightly guarded Liu Yi's body. Powerful sword qi shattered everything within a three-meter radius.

The Man Faced Demon Spider appeared atop a large tree ten meters away.

"Oh? You crafty beast. If I don't break your legs today, I'll admit your legs are tough."

Soul beasts that had reached ten thousand years had already gained intelligence and could understand human speech.

The body of this Man Faced Demon Spider was over two meters in diameter.

Its eight spear-like legs made it a bizarre giant spider over three meters long. Its entire body was covered in glossy black carapace. The tips of its legs were slender, and every step silently pierced the ground, showing just how sharp they were.

On the spider's lower abdomen were white markings that stood in stark contrast to its black body. These white markings formed a vicious human face, while eight small eyes glowing with a faint purple light were pressed close to its lower abdomen.

That was its fatal weakness.

"Once I kill you, I'll get something good. Just thinking about it is exciting."

Liu Yi calmly watched the Man Faced Demon Spider before him. His right hand swiftly swept across his waist, and dozens of Seven Kill Swords shot out like hidden weapons, heading straight for the eyes beneath the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.

The Man Faced Demon Spider valued the eyes on its abdomen immensely. Ignoring the risk of injury, it directly flattened itself against the ground, allowing the Seven Kill Swords to slam fiercely into its hard armor.

Liu Yi lightly leaped into the air, and his right arm suddenly exerted force. At that moment, he was certain that this Man Faced Demon Spider no longer had any spiderwebs left.

It must have killed another soul beast earlier and used up all three sprays of its web. Otherwise, it definitely would not have let Liu Yi off.

In almost an instant, Liu Yi appeared above the Man Faced Demon Spider. The Seven Kill Sword in his hand viciously stabbed down toward the pair of eyes on its head.

With a wet squelch, one of its eyes was forcibly stabbed blind. The Man Faced Demon Spider let out a pained howl, its body trembling violently as it struggled with all its strength, trying to shake Liu Yi off its head.

Liu Yi yanked hard. The moment purple-black blood sprayed out, the Man Faced Demon Spider seemed to collapse completely and slammed straight into the stone wall.

"Oh? You can even pull off something that hurts yourself ten times worse than the enemy."

"No, no, no. More like you didn't do anything, and you're already about to die."

Liu Yi jumped down from its head and swung the Seven Kill Sword in his hand repeatedly.

By the time spider leg after spider leg had been severed, the Man Faced Demon Spider had completely lost all signs of life.

A faint black glow seeped from the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.

The appearance of a soul ring proved that this Man Faced Demon Spider had truly kicked the bucket.

Of course, Liu Yi was not about to absorb the soul ring. He was waiting for the system to reward him with something good.

Ding: Congratulations, Host, for killing a Man Faced Demon Spider with twelve thousand years of cultivation. Reward: one bottle of Love Potion.

Liu Yi scratched his head, staring doubtfully at the bottle of potion in his right palm.

"System, what is this Love Potion? What does it do?"

Ding: As its name suggests, Love Potion is centered on love. No matter who drinks this bottle, she will love you without regard for her own life.

Liu Yi's eyes widened. It could even reward something like this? Damn, one word—awesome!

"Let me think. Who should I give this potion to? Xiao Wu? No, that'd be a waste. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit—I can win her over with my looks alone."

"As for everyone else, I'll think about them later. So who should I start with?"

Liu Yi could not help swallowing.
