Su Hao and the other five spoke in unison:

"Man Faced Demon Spider."

This was precisely the Man Faced Demon Spider that had nearly left Wang Jinxi with irreversible psychological trauma. Wang Jinxi could even sense that this was the very one that had ambushed him before.

Even with Xiao Hei's vision, they had failed to detect its presence in advance and had been killed outright. The Man Faced Demon Spider truly deserved its reputation as a terrifying assassin of the Soul Beast World.

At that moment, Gu Yue was the first to act. Clusters of Fireballs shot from her hands toward the Man Faced Demon Spider, while the others quickly gathered together.

Su Hao's expression darkened when he saw the Man Faced Demon Spider. This hundred-year Man Faced Demon Spider was not only fast, but its body was also covered in deadly poison. He simply could not restrain it. After all, when Su Hao used Entanglement, he merely borrowed the ordinary trees around them rather than special trees directly condensed from laws.

As long as the trees were not condensed from laws, the poison on the Man Faced Demon Spider could corrode them all.

Moreover, Su Hao knew that they could not outrun this Man Faced Demon Spider.

Besides, even if they could outrun it, Wang Jinxi's shadow of fear toward the Man Faced Demon Spider would remain.

Therefore, regardless of whether they could escape its pursuit, they could not run. Only by defeating it could they erase Wang Jinxi's fear of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

With that in mind, Su Hao quickly said:

"Prepare to kill it here. We can't outrun it."

Hearing Su Hao's words, the others steeled themselves and swiftly formed up before charging toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.

When the Man Faced Demon Spider saw that Su Hao and the others were no longer running, it began spitting silk all around them.

Su Hao and the others did not panic, causing it to slow its attacks. Moreover, spraying that web just now had also cost it a great deal.

Soon, using the surrounding towering trees as anchor points, it had woven a circle of silk. The Yellow-Green Silk caused the trees to wither, though their trunks could still hold on for the moment.

During this time, Gu Yue tried attacking the silk with various elements, but the results were poor. The deadly poison formed a protective layer around the silk, and even flames could not burn it effectively.

Seeing this, Xie Xie said grimly:

"It's making a cage for us, then gradually shrinking the encirclement."

Tang Wulin beside him also said in a low voice:

"Mm. Wait for an opportunity."

He then controlled the Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet, spreading it outward. Su Hao also controlled the surrounding trees as he waited for an opportunity, so he could restrain the Man Faced Demon Spider for an instant when the time came.

Thus, Su Hao's group entered a stalemate with the Man Faced Demon Spider. Gu Yue sat to the side, silently recovering her Soul Power.

Su Hao, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie also continued storing up power, while Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi stood close together so they could use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at the first possible moment.

At that moment, Tang Wulin launched a probing attack. His Thousand Refined Silver Hammer suddenly flew from his right hand toward the Man Faced Demon Spider, with a strand of Blue Silver Grass wrapped around its handle like a meteor hammer.

The Man Faced Demon Spider noticed Tang Wulin's move the instant he attacked. Its eight long legs lightly pushed off, and its massive body actually sprang into the air like a coiled spring before drifting down outside the web it had woven.

Tang Wulin's Thousand Refined Silver Hammer smashed heavily into the web, stretching it far outward. Yet the web was incredibly tough and elastic. It did not break, but instead stuck the Silver Hammer firmly to itself.

Tang Wulin then yanked with all his strength, pulling the Silver Hammer back, but also dragging the web inward. The spot where the Thousand Refined Silver Hammer touched the web had already turned pitch-black. Fortunately, it had been thousand-refined, and its internal structure was extremely dense, so it would not be corroded beyond use for now.

Seeing this, Su Hao and the others knew that Tang Wulin had lost both a probing attack and a Thousand Refined Silver Hammer. At the same time, the Man Faced Demon Spider's agility had exceeded everyone's expectations.

They also knew they could not wait any longer. If they allowed the Man Faced Demon Spider to finish weaving its silk before attacking, the space available for them to move would become pitifully small, and they would very likely be wiped out.

Su Hao then whispered a few words to Gu Yue and the others. After making sure everyone understood their roles, he joined Gu Yue in using Elemental Storm.

Compared to Gu Yue's Elemental Storm, Su Hao's Elemental Storm not only contained elements such as fire and water, but also Space Element and Thunder.

When the Man Faced Demon Spider saw Su Hao's group attack, it stopped weaving silk and quickly dodged to the side. Then it spat a huge web into the air, sending it crashing down toward them.

When Su Hao and Gu Yue saw the web shoot into the air, they quickly formed six long Earth Pillars around them, holding the web aloft so it could not descend.

At that moment, Zhang Yangzi used his First Soul Skill, Shadow Mist, to block the Man Faced Demon Spider's vision.

Having lost its vision, the Man Faced Demon Spider immediately began running wildly in every direction.

Although the Man Faced Demon Spider's movements became chaotic and disorderly, they also became easier to predict.

After observing its movements for a few seconds, Su Hao's group accurately judged where it would land next and attacked simultaneously.

Su Hao fired an Air Cannon at the Man Faced Demon Spider. Tang Wulin once again swung the Silver Hammer in his right hand like a meteor hammer toward it, while Zhang Yangzi and Gu Yue respectively unleashed Dark Wind Slash and Ice Cone.

The Man Faced Demon Spider was seriously wounded by the series of attacks. Then, four of its legs were frozen by Gu Yue's Ice Cones. At that moment, the black mist that had been blocking its vision also dispersed.

Su Hao then told Gu Yue to continue using Ice Cones on the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Su Hao mobilized the Law of Water around the Man Faced Demon Spider, making its body damp. Gu Yue immediately understood his intention, condensed more Ice Cones, and fired them at the Man Faced Demon Spider again.

In this way, the Man Faced Demon Spider gradually turned into a block of ice under Gu Yue's Ice Cones. Even while frozen, its eyes continued to move as it struggled to break free.

Gu Yue and the others noticed Su Hao raise his right hand. A Silver Light appeared there, and Su Hao casually flung it toward the Man Faced Demon Spider's eight thick legs.

Immediately, Gu Yue and the others saw that as the Silver Light flew toward the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs, all eight legs separated from its body. Only then did they realize that Su Hao had grasped the Space Element.

The skill he had used was likely Space Cutting.

At that moment, Su Hao turned to Wang Jinxi, who was standing beside him in a daze, and said:

"Wang Jinxi, you'll deliver the final blow to this Man Faced Demon Spider."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Gu Yue and the others understood that Su Hao wanted Wang Jinxi to personally kill the Man Faced Demon Spider with the final blow, allowing him to cast off his fear of it.

Wang Jinxi also understood. He gave Su Hao a grateful look. Though he said nothing, it seemed he had said everything. Then Wang Jinxi walked before the Man Faced Demon Spider and used his First Soul Skill to kill the frozen Man Faced Demon Spider.
