Chu Hao looked at the fleeing little spider and hurried after it.

He knew the little spider was going to find its mother.

If it could give birth to such a clever little spider, its age and bloodline had to be quite good, enough to meet the standard he wanted.

And to make the little spider feel fear, Chu Hao even deliberately kept firing sword energy while he chased it.

Each streak of sword energy landed right beside the little spider, scaring it into darting this way and that as it fled in panic, faster and faster.

The farther Chu Hao chased from behind, the more startled he became. The distance between them kept growing.

Good grief. This little spider was tiny, but it sure could run.

Sure enough, two legs still could not outrun eight.

If not for the God-Demon Eye tracking it, it would have vanished long ago.

Left with no choice, Chu Hao had to use the sword flight recorded in the Ten Thousand Swords Art.

He tossed the Hades Sword in front of him, silently recited the sword formula, made the Hades Sword enlarge, then leaped onto the blade and steadied himself.

Finally, with a thought from Chu Hao, the Hades Sword suddenly accelerated and shot forward at high speed.

Because of inertia, and because the Hades Sword accelerated too quickly, Chu Hao failed to keep his footing for a moment and almost fell off.

He even slammed headfirst into a towering tree.

If not for the sword aura that naturally surrounded the Hades Sword while it flew, he probably would have smashed himself into a nosebleed.

To become skilled at the posture for sword flight and keep chasing the little spider, Chu Hao had no choice but to focus most of his energy on sword control.

He did have some talent. In only a few minutes, he had already mastered it proficiently.

With sword flight, Chu Hao's speed became terrifying to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the little spider, keeping less than three meters away from it the whole time, while casually firing sword energy to frighten it.

When the little spider saw Chu Hao had caught up, it could not have panicked more.

Its eight little legs swung at the utmost speed, and its small mouth kept biting as it let out a faint, piercing sound.

It seemed to be shouting, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm scared! There's a big villain trying to kill me..."

This was exactly the effect Chu Hao wanted, so he frightened it even harder.

After who knew how long, the little spider suddenly stopped, as if it had run itself tired.

But just as Chu Hao jumped down from the Hades Sword, a fine rustling sound reached his ears.

Immediately afterward, countless purple lights appeared all around him.

In moments, dense swarms of Man-Faced Demon Spiders appeared before Chu Hao's eyes.

No, among the Man-Faced Demon Spiders were also many Cave Demon Spiders.

At that moment, the little spider dragged its exhausted body around slowly, raised its upper body slightly, stretched out its four sharp front legs, and gestured at him as if provoking him.

It seemed to be saying, "You big villain, come on! Now that you're on my turf, let's see how you kill me."

Then the little spider darted away with a whoosh, disappearing into the spider swarm.

Chu Hao looked at the little spider's actions and instantly laughed.

Good grief!

It was pretty smart.

He was even starting to like the little thing a little.

It really was damn talented.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Just as Chu Hao was giving the little spider such high praise, more and more spiders surrounded him.

Chu Hao looked around and roughly checked them. Among the spider swarm, there were indeed a few ten-thousand-year Demon Spiders.

But according to the information fed back by the God-Demon Eye, those ten-thousand-year Demon Spiders were not very old. They were only a little over ten thousand years, nowhere near what he needed.

In his mind, the ten-thousand-year soul ring he needed could not be less than thirty thousand years.

However, since there were ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the spider swarm, that meant the little spider's mother, the true king of the spider swarm, was definitely a powerful ten-thousand-year soul beast and should be able to satisfy his needs.

In that case, he would draw it out.

After Chu Hao made up his mind, a cold gleam shot from his eyes.

Holding his sword in one hand, he gathered all the killing intent in his body and slashed horizontally, cutting out a ring-shaped sword energy that spread outward with him at the center.

Everything the sword energy passed through shattered completely.

Within a radius of several dozen meters, all the Demon Spiders died beneath his sword energy.

This one sword strike allowed him to kill more than a hundred of them.

Among them was even a ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider.

It was clear just how powerful this sword strike, condensed from all the killing intent in his body, truly was.

The killing intent fed back by the demon spiders he had slain did not disappoint him either. It was several times stronger than before.

It let him see hope of breaking through, and he charged straight into the spider swarm with his sword.

Compared with the group-attack style of the Ten Thousand Swords Art, he preferred close-range slaughter.

That thrill of meeting force with force, of merciless killing, could let his emotions find release.

And so, Chu Hao simply gave up using the Ten Thousand Swords Art and moved through the spider swarm with the Hades Sword in hand.

With every slash, a demon spider fell.

No matter how the spider swarm coordinated, they could not touch even a hair on him.

That was because a thick layer of slaughter sword aura had condensed around him.

Anything that touched it would be shattered.

Spider webs and venom could not get close either. He killed until the spider swarm retreated again and again, not daring to clash with him head-on.

Perhaps Chu Hao was too powerful, and the spider swarm had suffered disastrous losses, because the king of the swarm hidden in the dark finally appeared.

It was a Man-Faced Demon Spider with a main body over three meters in diameter and eight spider legs over five meters long. Surrounded and protected by the swarm, it slowly approached, its body giving off an icy aura of slaughter.

Seeing this, Chu Hao's pupils widened slightly, flashing with red and white light.

Judging through the God-Demon Eye, this Man-Faced Demon Spider had at least thirty thousand years of cultivation.

Its bloodline was extraordinary as well, far beyond what an ordinary ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider could compare to.

It was simply the true king of the Man-Faced Demon Spider swarm—the Man-Faced Demon Spider King.

And the appearance of the Man-Faced Demon Spider King also showed Chu Hao what he needed.

Since the real target had already appeared, there was no need to keep playing along.

Killing it first was the most important objective right now.

To ensure he could kill this Man-Faced Demon Spider King at the first possible moment, Chu Hao directly used his full strength.

With a casual beckon, ten thousand sword lights emerged, slaughtering the demon spiders that kept surging forward while sealing off every retreat route of the Man-Faced Demon Spider King.

Then, holding the Hades Sword, he unleashed three great soul skills at the same time and charged forward.

That aura of slaughter made fear rise in the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's heart.

But so what? The Man-Faced Demon Spider King had not grown up being scared. It directly spat a spider web at the charging Chu Hao.

Chu Hao looked at the web descending over him and smiled disdainfully. With a light sweep of the Hades Sword in his hand, a streak of sword energy formed and cut it apart.

Then he leapt up, arriving high in the air. Gripping his sword with both hands, he mobilized all the killing intent in his body.

In an instant, monstrous killing intent erupted from the Hades Sword. Under the influence of that killing intent, its size swelled several times over, transforming into a Heavenly Giant Sword.

The moment the Heavenly Giant Sword finished taking shape, endless killing intent surged out wildly, intimidating every demon spider present.

Even the Man-Faced Demon Spider King was overwhelmed with terror after sensing Chu Hao's current transformation.

That unprecedented aura of slaughter had far exceeded its imagination.

At this moment, there was only one thought in its mind: flee.

But just as the Man-Faced Demon Spider King made its decision and prepared to leave the attack range of this move—

A terrifying killing intent swept over and locked directly onto it.

Endless killing intent also surged madly in that instant, completely wrapping around it and leaving it unable to escape.

Only now did the Man-Faced Demon Spider King realize how terrifying the human before it was. This was not someone it could resist.

But now, it could no longer run. It could only brace itself and face him head-on.

In the end, under the threat of death, the Man-Faced Demon Spider King decided to make a desperate last stand.

A layer of red light rose over its massive body, and powerful strength erupted from it.
