Man Faced Demon Spider: Tang San, You Have No Martial Virtue!

Black filled Tang San with disgust.

The creature that had suddenly appeared was also black.

What appeared before Tang San was a spider—a bizarre giant spider with a body over one and a half meters in diameter and eight spear-like Spider Legs over three meters long.

Its entire body was covered in black armor shell that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

The tips of its long legs were slender. Every silent step pierced the ground, showing just how sharp they were.

Tang San noticed it, and it seemed to have noticed Tang San as well.

Its eight long legs moved rapidly, even leaving behind a string of afterimages. In the blink of an eye, it had reached Tang San.

Two of its front legs rose instantly and stabbed down at his head.

As its front legs lifted, its body inevitably rose with them, allowing Tang San to see its abdomen.

That single glance let Tang San recognize its species.

Tang San almost immediately dropped and rolled away, dodging the long-legged spider's attack.

Yet he sucked in a cold breath. He had never expected to encounter it here.

On the spider's lower abdomen were white markings that stood in stark contrast to its black body. Those white markings formed the shape of a savage human face.

A total of eight small eyes flickering with a faint purple light were clustered tightly beneath its abdomen.

However, two of those eyes appeared to have been smashed apart, leaving behind a bloody mess.

Even the armor shell on its lower abdomen bore several cracks.

It was already night. If Tang San had not possessed Purple Demon Eyes, he truly would not have been able to see any of this.

Seeing that savage human face, Tang San recalled the many titles given to the spider before him.

The nightmare of small soul beasts, a creature that devoured life, the target of all soul beasts' hatred, a terrifying and evil slaughterer.

All those titles described the long-legged spider before him.

Its name was the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Although it was not on the same level as the Titan Giant Ape.

This kind of Man Faced Demon Spider was still a creature feared even by soul beasts.

It possessed sturdy armor shell, incomparably fast speed, and eight long legs with immense piercing power that carried deadly poison.

But its most terrifying weapon was its spider web.

Ordinary spiders formed their webs by spinning silk, but it was different. Its web was sprayed directly from its body.

Not only was it extremely adhesive, it was also extraordinarily tough.

At the same time, it carried a terrifying neurotoxin.

Moreover, the Man Faced Demon Spider was one of the targets Grandmaster had selected for Tang San's third Spirit Ring. Grandmaster had once told him that Man Faced Demon Spiders were the hardest to obtain, and that he absolutely must not force the matter.

The web sprayed by a Man Faced Demon Spider was not only instantaneous, but could cover an area ten times its own size, making it almost impossible to dodge.

Even a powerful Spirit Master caught in the web would need time to break free.

And in that time, the Man Faced Demon Spider could do many things.

Tang San had not expected to encounter a Man Faced Demon Spider under such circumstances.

As a former professional assassin of the Tang Sect, Tang San's combat instincts, experience, and execution were obviously beyond comparison with the rookies of Douluo Continent.

By the time he flipped back to his feet, his Blue Silver Grass Binding skill had already activated. Countless thick blades of grass abruptly coiled around the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.

Then, a black box appeared in Tang San's left hand. His right hand rapidly worked over it, producing a string of mechanical clicking sounds.

The Man Faced Demon Spider moved faster than Tang San had expected. The restraint of the Blue Silver Grass had clearly enraged it.

A layer of dim purple radiance spread from its body, and the Blue Silver Grass attached to it simply melted away.

Or rather, it was corroded.

Tang San stared at the Man Faced Demon Spider as his right hand swept swiftly past his waist. Dozens of white flashes shot out at once, heading straight for the eyes beneath the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen.

Sure enough, the Man Faced Demon Spider cared greatly about its weak point. Coupled with the fact that two of its eyes had already suffered serious damage, it had no time to attack Tang San and quickly flattened itself against the ground.

The hidden weapons struck its armor shell, sending up a shower of sparks.

At that moment, Tang San finally finished setting the mechanism in the black box in his hand.

Tang San had thoroughly enraged the Man Faced Demon Spider. After blocking the hidden weapons, the purple light that had corroded the Blue Silver Grass appeared again.

Before it even drew close, a pungent stench assaulted his nose and made him want to vomit.

Yet Tang San did not retreat again. As the Man Faced Demon Spider sprang forward with its eight long legs moving rapidly, he instead charged toward it.

He transferred the black box to his right hand. Black light flickered in his left, and a small black hammer etched with strange patterns silently appeared in his grip.

Black light surged and withdrew. Tang San's charging body abruptly stopped, while the Man Faced Demon Spider's four front legs had already lifted.

This time, it was even faster. Its long legs shone with that corrosive purple light, in addition to their own nerve-paralyzing venom—

Forget being directly pierced; even touching the slightest bit would have been enough to kill Tang San.

As an evil slaughterer, the Man Faced Demon Spider had devoured countless soul beasts and Spirit Masters who ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest using this method.

The remaining six small eyes beneath its abdomen flickered with eerie light.

Just as those four three-meter-long Spider Legs, like spears, suddenly came crashing down, Tang San moved.

His left hand, containing all of his current thirtieth-level Soul Power, instantly poured that Soul Power into the small black hammer.

In an instant, the small black hammer doubled in size in his hand. The patterns upon it suddenly became clear, gleaming with a dark blue radiance.

His left hand swung with all its strength. The small hammer whistled through the air, smashing directly toward the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest.

The armor on the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest was the hardest part of its entire body. Faced with Tang San's sudden attack, it habitually did not try to block it.

Spirit Masters could sense the strength of soul beasts within a certain range, and soul beasts could likewise sense whether a Spirit Master was strong or weak. This Man Faced Demon Spider had originally been far stronger than Tang San; it was only less terrifying because it had been injured. But it could still clearly tell that Tang San was far weaker than itself, so naturally, his attack could not possibly damage its strongest armor shell.

Therefore, the Man Faced Demon Spider ignored the hammer flying toward its chest. Its eight long legs continued stabbing down, intending to finish Tang San in one stroke and turn him into food.

To soul beasts, Spirit Masters were also great nourishment that could increase their cultivation by many years.

With a muffled bang, the Man Faced Demon Spider's diving body was thrown upward in the opposite direction, its entire body lifted by the blow.

However, the Clear Sky Hammer infused with all of Tang San's Soul Power struck with a force of well over a thousand jin. Though it could not truly injure the Man Faced Demon Spider, it was more than enough to knock its body upward.

And then?

There was no then.

Sixteen crossbow bolts shot out, not even sparing the Man Faced Demon Spider's two already injured eyes.

Two bolts for each eye.

In the blink of an eye, all of them sank into the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.
