Thousand Spider Poison Hand vs. Blue Silver Entanglement?!

She wore an enchanting, wicked expression, and upon her exposed skin, threads of cyan-black veins emerged. These abrupt, tattoo-like markings did not look out of place at all; instead, they made her appear even more bewitching and alluring!

But Tang San's pupils constricted sharply!

As a disciple of the Tang Sect and an expert in poisons, he knew all too well what those black lines signified.

That was...

Poison!

Looking at the iron-gray, lethal poison condensing on Dugu Yan's fingertips, it was self-evident how the Blue Silver Grass had been severed just moments ago.

"Dugu Yan, your heart is under attack by poison. If you don't want to end up dying a miserable death, get lost." Tang San shouted coldly.

"Hehe... heart under attack by poison?"

Dugu Yan looked at the cyan-black vein patterns on her body and said playfully, "I wonder if you have ever heard of... the Thousand Spider Poison Hand?!"

As her voice fell, Dugu Yan stepped forward, her figure moving like a ghost as she lunged at Tang San.

"Thousand Spider Poison Hand?"

Tang San was stunned, feeling a sense of familiarity, but at a time like this, he had no heart to dwell on other things...

"Ignorant!"

Seeing Dugu Yan charging at him, Tang San let out a cold shout. He crouched, his legs coiled with power, and executed a strange, agile set of footwork, rushing toward Dugu Yan with even greater speed.

Tang Sect Secret Skill: Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track—

As a control-type Spirit Master and the soul of the team, he shouldn't have been leading the charge, but with the Shrek team having already lost three members in the first exchange, he had to open up the situation for his team!

He hadn't been very confident about breaking Dugu Yan's poison without the use of external items, but now... this woman was actually stupid enough to re-introduce poison into her body after having already detoxified?

Yes!

As a Tang Sect disciple, his understanding of poison was carved into his bones. He could see at a glance that the amount of toxin accumulated in Dugu Yan's body was abnormal—very abnormal!

After neutralizing the toxicity once, no matter how she used her Spirit or Spirit Skills, it was impossible to accumulate such a massive amount of poison in such a short time. This woman, reckless of her own life, had definitely drawn more poison into her body!

He would gladly accept this flaw she had delivered to his doorstep!

"Dugu Yan, you asked for this!"

Purple Demon Eye—

Mysterious Jade Hand—

He unleashed two Tang Sect secret skills in succession. His eyes glowed with purple light, and his hands were stained with a crystalline, jade-like luster.

His Purple Demon Eye had reached the Mustard Seed realm, granting him powerful observation and dynamic vision. Any move Dugu Yan made, any slight flaw, would have nowhere to hide before these eyes.

And the Mysterious Jade Hand, hard as iron, was perfect for striking acupoints!

Dugu Yan's symptoms were the same as Dugu Bo's, only the degree differed. Now that Dugu Yan had re-introduced the poison, he only needed to strike her vital acupoints to stimulate the toxicity, and he could instantly render her incapable of fighting!

Without Dugu Yan, this so-called Heaven Dou Royal Academy second team was nothing but a toothless tiger.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, moving like the wind!

In a few strides, he closed in on Dugu Yan. Tang San pressed his fingers together into a sword-hand and thrust toward her. It was as swift as the wind and fast as lightning, but...

Dugu Yan simply slid her snake-like body, dodging the strike with ease as her second spirit ring lit up.

"Second Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorous Blue Poison!"

Her red lips parted slightly, spraying out a blue mist of poison. Since she was positioned at the very front with her teammates behind her, and the opponent lacked a wind-type Spirit Master, she used her poison without any restraint.

Yet, it seemed all of this was within Tang San's expectations.

"I was already guarding against you!!"

Tang San's body twisted at an impossible angle, brushing against the edge of the poison mist and narrowly bypassing it. To others, this was a gamble, but to Tang San, it was a certainty.

Stepping with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he took the opportunity to circle behind Dugu Yan. This was where the vital acupoint he intended to strike was located. As for just now?

It was merely to bait out Dugu Yan's spirit skill. The poison mist would block their lines of sight, but he had already calculated the trajectory of his attack.

Tang San thrust his hand, his fingers moving like a gale and his momentum like lightning. Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan seemed to have calculated exactly where his attack would come from; she raised her hand, fingers pressed into a sword-hand, and thrust back at him.

Her fair fingers were now coated in a layer of iron-gray poison. Her snake-like body lunged, as if a viper were hunting, using her momentum to add even more force to the strike.

However, Dugu Yan's reach was clearly insufficient; she was neither as fast nor as agile as he was.

Seeing Dugu Yan turn, Tang San shifted his target downward. Since he couldn't strike the vital point on her back, he would strike the Sea of Qi acupoint to disrupt her spirit power!

He never expected that the iron-gray poison on Dugu Yan's fingertips would suddenly detach!

It shot toward him like an arrow!

"What?!"

Tang San's pupils constricted, his heart tightening. At this distance, there was no way to dodge!

This Dugu Yan was more difficult to deal with than expected—even more troublesome than when he encountered her at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City!

'If that's the case, then...'

"Third Spirit Skill: Spider Web Restraint!!"

The third soul ring on Tang San's body lit up, and a web woven from Blue Silver Grass instantly stretched between the two, shrouding toward Dugu Yan.

The Spider Web Restraint soul skill, originating from the Man Faced Demon Spider, was a rare instant-cast control-type soul skill. It required only a single thought to release; even if he couldn't dodge Dugu Yan's attack at this distance, he still had enough time to unleash the Spider Web Restraint.

The web woven from Blue Silver Grass descended upon Dugu Yan, but Tang San's movements did not stop there. He formed his hand into a sword finger, following closely behind the Spider Web Restraint to strike at Dugu Yan's Qihai acupoint.

But the next second!

"Sizzle!"

A sound like lime meeting water rang out, and the dense web woven from Blue Silver Grass instantly became riddled with holes. First, the "poison arrow" pierced through the web; before that iron-gray "poison arrow," his web was as fragile as paper.

However, in his haste to take down Dugu Yan and open up the situation for his team, his previous attack had been extremely fierce. Now that the momentum was set and he had no time to retreat, he could only spread his palm and use his Mysterious Jade Hand to deflect the "poison arrow." Unexpectedly, this poison was like a maggot on a rotting bone—once it touched him, he couldn't shake it off.

What Tang San found most incomprehensible was that this poison was actually corroding his Mysterious Jade Hand!

Although the speed was slow, it was indeed corroding!

Strange, too strange!

In the time they hadn't met, this woman had actually acquired such methods!

No!

I cannot go on like this; I must break this stalemate!

Thoughts raced through his mind as he simultaneously circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill. With a jolt of soul power within his body, the poison clinging to his Mysterious Jade Hand like a maggot on a rotting bone was shaken loose and expelled.

At the same time, he looked at Dugu Yan opposite him with a grave expression...

Purple light flickered in his eyes as he observed everything about Dugu Yan, especially her hands...

That was...

Internal poison?!

In Tang San's eyes at this moment, the poison on Dugu Yan's body seemed to be following a specific circulation route, emerging from within her body and gathering continuously onto her hands.

Her poison was executed from within her body, rather than being applied to the surface like ordinary poison-type soul skills!

He had thought she was suffering from poison attacking her heart and would soon die.

Yet he never expected that this woman was actually storing poison within her body to serve as a greater means of attack?

How could she dare?

A lunatic!

She was simply a lunatic!

As a rare genius of the Tang Sect in a hundred years, Tang San knew all too well what the consequences of doing this would be.

One careless mistake, and she could drop dead on the spot.

"Hmm..."

At this thought, a flash of inspiration struck Tang San's mind.

Right!

No matter how bold this woman was, at this moment, the toxins within her body must have reached a certain balance. Now, he only needed to make her suffer from another type of poison, and it would inevitably break the balance of the toxins in her body. At that time...
