Man Faced Demon Spider

"Wait!" Lin Yu, who had been searching for soul beasts, suddenly halted mid-step and at the same time swiftly pulled Dugu Yan down.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Yan, still unaware of what was happening, was directly pulled down by Lin Yu.

"Something's coming." Lin Yu said softly.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Dugu Yan quickly fell silent, not uttering another word, simply staring ahead quietly, waiting for whatever Lin Yu had mentioned to arrive.

Before long, a faint rustling sound came from in front of the two.

"The Holy Son is clearly no simple figure—his spiritual power is this formidable." Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"A Man Faced Demon Spider?" Lin Yu stared in surprise at the soul beast that had appeared before them.

Its entire body was covered in black carapace, gleaming and polished. The tips of its long legs were slender, and with every step forward, they silently pierced into the ground, showing just how sharp they were.

On the underside of the spider's abdomen were white patterns that formed a stark contrast with its black body. These white markings composed a vicious human face, and eight small eyes flickering with a faint purple light were clustered tightly on its lower belly.

However, this spider was unusually large.

"This Man Faced Demon Spider has actually reached a five-thousand-year cultivation level—no wonder the surrounding soul beasts are so scarce." Yue Guan stroked his chin as he looked down at the Man Faced Demon Spider, his mind also relaxing.

The Man Faced Demon Spider could be considered a top-tier soul beast; even a hundred-year-old one could contend with a thousand-year-old.

After all, the Man Faced Demon Spider was an evil hunter among soul beasts, called the nightmare of smaller soul beasts, a devourer of life, and an object of hatred for all soul beasts.

"Looks like my luck is pretty good." Lin Yu broke into a delighted smile upon seeing this Man Faced Demon Spider.

This time, Lin Yu had originally planned to absorb a Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. The ideal would have been the one Tang San had hunted, since that soul beast had possessed an External Soul Bone—something that could eventually grow into a super divine artifact.

Still, Lin Yu wasn't going to force it.

"You stay hidden here. I'm going to hunt it down and take its soul ring." Lin Yu patted Dugu Yan, then appeared directly in front of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"What's going on? How can this kid be so reckless? This is a five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider—can he even handle it?" Dugu Bo grew a bit worried seeing Lin Yu charge out.

"Relax, the Holy Son's strength isn't that simple." Yue Guan and Ghost weren't as concerned.

"A five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider—perfect for testing my abilities." Lin Yu looked at the spider before him and released his Martial Soul.

The moment the Undying Emperor Spider appeared, the Man Faced Demon Spider in front of Lin Yu seemed to encounter something terrifying, its body trembling on the spot.

Still, Lin Yu's strength wasn't great enough yet; the Man Faced Demon Spider only flinched for a moment before barely dodging as Lin Yu's attack was about to land.

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to react that quickly." Lin Yu was a bit surprised to see the spider evade.

"But I wonder if you can dodge the next attack." Lin Yu showed no fear facing this Man Faced Demon Spider; instead, he was completely at ease.

This was not only because his Undying Emperor Spider Martial Soul exerted an extremely strong suppression over spider-type Martial Souls, but also because of his second Martial Soul.

Though he hadn't yet fully mastered the abilities of his second Martial Soul, simply covering his entire body with it greatly enhanced his speed and defense.

The Man Faced Demon Spider had no intention of taking a hit without retaliating, so after dodging, it directly attacked Lin Yu.

A sticky white spider web shot toward Lin Yu, covering a wide area at high speed, but it still couldn't threaten him—at that speed, it simply couldn't hit him.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's web carried a terrifying neurotoxin; once wrapped in it, one would quickly lose the ability to move.

Just as Lin Yu dodged, the Man Faced Demon Spider's leg stabbed straight at him.

But this time, Lin Yu didn't bother to evade; instead, he stared directly into the spider's eight eyes.

"Eye of Instant Death!" A strange light flickered in Lin Yu's eyes, and the Man Faced Demon Spider's movements came to an abrupt halt.

"Death Slash!" The Undying Emperor Spider appeared before the Man Faced Demon Spider, its legs slashing unhesitatingly toward the spider's eyes.

Though the Man Faced Demon Spider was extremely fearsome, its weakness was also very obvious. It had defenses, but they couldn't withstand Lin Yu's attack.

The Undying Emperor Spider's six legs plunged straight in, and with that, the Man Faced Demon Spider was left with only two eyes.

At this point, the Man Faced Demon Spider had lost the ability to fight back, but the intense pain drove it mad, making it lash out wildly at everything around it.

Seeing the enraged spider, Lin Yu quickly retreated, waiting for its final downfall.

At the same time, Lin Yu hurriedly shielded Dugu Yan to keep her from getting hurt.

The Man Faced Demon Spider was a terrifying soul beast in its own right, possessing both potent neurotoxins and formidable defenses.

If Lin Yu hadn't attacked its eyes, he wouldn't have been able to inflict any real damage on this spider in a short time—after all, he was still just a two-ring Soul Grand Master, and his offensive power was somewhat lacking.

But in the world of combat, speed is the key!

Though the Man Faced Demon Spider was fast, Lin Yu was faster. Combined with his powerful control skill, the spider had no way to resist.

Of course, this was also thanks to the natural suppression of Lin Yu's Martial Soul.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's vitality was incredibly strong. The Undying Emperor Spider's six legs had pierced through its six eyes and deep into its brain, yet it still thrashed for a long time before finally going still.

The surroundings had been mostly destroyed by the rampaging spider.

Even though the Man Faced Demon Spider had stopped moving, Lin Yu didn't approach immediately. Instead, he cautiously watched the motionless creature.

After a long while, with the spider still unmoving, Lin Yu finally stepped forward.

But the moment he reached the Man Faced Demon Spider, a massive web shot toward him, enveloping him completely.

And this time, there was no way to dodge!

"Brother Lin Yu!"

"Xiao Yu!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan, Yue Guan, and the others cried out in alarm. Though they weren't far away, the distance might as well have been an ocean.

"Have you ever been kicked by light?" Lin Yu showed no panic. As if teleporting, he appeared directly in front of the Man Faced Demon Spider, his glowing foot slamming into its head.

Sending it flipping over onto its back.
