Let the Music Play and the Dancing Continue! The Fisherman Profits and Claims the Soul Bones! Part Two

Ye Yang had originally thought that, given the Cave Demon Spider's rock-steady temperament, it would defend itself first.

Then it would look for a chance to attack the Man Faced Demon Spider.

But he had guessed wrong.

The Cave Demon Spider was going all out too. As long as it killed the Man Faced Demon Spider queen, it could devour two powerful corpses of its own kind at once!

Not only would that allow it to rapidly increase its Soul Power.

It would also take its bloodline to the next level, turning it into a stronger Cave Demon Spider king!

Or even a Spider Emperor!

Strictly speaking, the Man Faced Demon Spider's bloodline was still a notch above the Cave Demon Spider's.

As for failure?

That was impossible!

It was confident that, at worst, it would be seriously injured, but it would claim the final victory.

Intelligence was more important than strength.

Wasn't that how humans suppressed Soul Beasts?

The Cave Demon Spider, with thirty thousand years of cultivation, was highly intelligent. It had also seen humans use schemes to hunt Soul Beasts more than once.

Now, at the most critical moment, the Cave Demon Spider had charged beneath the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen!

That horrifying patterned human face, as large as a double bed, hovered above the Cave Demon Spider's head, sinister and terrifying!

The Cave Demon Spider raised its left front leg to shield its head.

Putting it in the path of the Man Faced Demon Spider king's last, fourth leg.

As for its third leg, the Cave Demon Spider couldn't block it, and could only use its own leg to slow it slightly.

But its short little leg was no match for the Man Faced Demon Spider's leg.

Crack!

Puchi!

Clang!

The three sounds came almost one after another.

The Man Faced Demon Spider queen's seven-meter leg pierced straight through two of the Cave Demon Spider's legs and continued into its abdomen!

The fourth leg struck the Cave Demon Spider's shovel-like left front leg, leaving another bloody hole.

The all-out, head-on collision also opened fresh cracks in both spiders' legs.

But the Cave Demon Spider's bloody sacrifice had earned it a chance to attack.

Its right front leg, like a great two-meter shovel, scraped viciously across half the face on the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen!

Rip!

The four eyes lined up vertically on the right side of the Man Faced Demon Spider's face were scraped away by the great shovel, along with half its face!

Shell, flesh, and eyeballs flew everywhere. It was a gruesome sight.

Both attacks landed at the same time.

Roar!

At that moment, both the Man Faced Demon Spider and the Cave Demon Spider let out a terrifying, bizarre roar.

Anger, terror, and agonizing pain drove them mad.

"Brilliant!"

"Now that's satisfying!"

Ye Yang repeatedly shouted his approval as he watched, cheering them on.

But he also felt some regret that Ah Yin hadn't seen the show.

He didn't have a phone from his previous life either. Otherwise, recording it to watch again now and then would have been nice.

Puff!

The Cave Demon Spider leaned to the left and spat out Spider Web Restraint again, trying to pin down the Man Faced Demon Spider's last two legs.

With the toughness of its Spider King Cage, even with the Man Faced Demon Spider's great strength, it would be hard for it to break free quickly using only two legs.

Meanwhile, it could swiftly slice open the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen and kill it!

But the Man Faced Demon Spider also shot a web from its chrysanthemum at a speed surpassing its previous limit.

Spider Web Restraint met Spider Web Prison.

The two stuck together and fell to the ground, sizzling as they corroded and gave off thick smoke.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's two legs stabbed at the Cave Demon Spider's abdomen and head again!

Its abdomen had already been pierced half a foot deep. Blood gushed out, and it was seriously wounded.

If it were stabbed again, its entire abdomen would definitely be pierced through. Even if it didn't die, it would be seriously injured!

The Cave Demon Spider had no choice but to move its left front leg back to shield its abdomen.

Clang!

Crack!

Another bloody hole appeared in its shovel-like front leg with a metallic clang.

The next instant, the whole front leg shattered.

After taking three full-force attacks from the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs, even its strongest leg could only shatter!

The Man Faced Demon Spider's three legs, meanwhile, were in unbearable pain and covered in numerous cracks.

But its fourth leg once again pierced the Cave Demon Spider's leg that was protecting its chest, then stabbed viciously into the side of its chest again.

The Cave Demon Spider toppled onto its side.

All three legs on its left side had been pierced through and were crippled.

Its strongest left front leg had shattered into fragments, scattering flesh and pieces of shell across the ground.

Besides that, there were two deep bloody holes in the left side of its chest and abdomen.

It had paid such a heavy price for just two attacks!

Both sides had hurt each other.

When the Man Faced Demon Spider stabbed it, its right front shovel-leg had also scraped viciously across the right side of the face on the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen for a second time!

A great deal of flesh had been scraped away, leaving only a final layer of skin wrapped around its internal organs!

"One last scrape, and the Man Faced Demon Spider will be finished!"

"In the end, the Cave Demon Spider was a notch better!"

Ye Yang marveled at the sight and was about to make his move, profiting like the fisherman in the fable.

But when the Cave Demon Spider spat silk for the third time, the Man Faced Demon Spider didn't use Spider Web Restraint to block it.

It had let its guard down and didn't dodge.

It let Spider King Cage bind its last two legs.

Just as the Cave Demon Spider was rejoicing, a highly venomous dark green net came flying straight at it.

The third Spider Web Restraint.

This time, with only one right front leg left as a shovel, the Cave Demon Spider couldn't break free of the web quickly.

Both sides were locked in a stalemate, with no way to attack each other.

But the Man Faced Demon Spider let Spider Web Prison cling to its four hind legs and pushed hard against the ground, shifting its center of gravity backward again.

Its huge abdomen pressed down hard on the Cave Demon Spider, leaving it unable to move.

Only that powerful right shovel could still move against the pressure.

In particular, after shifting backward with all its might, it met the Cave Demon Spider's right shovel with an intact section of abdomen above the slashed wound.

It already knew that, given its abdomen's defenses and the force of the Cave Demon Spider's single shovel, it could withstand two strikes.

Trading injury for injury was something it had just learned from the Cave Demon Spider.

And it only needed one chance!

It pinned the Cave Demon Spider with its abdomen. Its two front legs, which had pierced the male Cave Demon Spider's **, had also been driven several meters deep into the ground.

Now, its two front legs and body suddenly strained in opposite directions.

With a sharp crack, it forcibly snapped both front legs off at their roots!

It left the two legs impaling the **'s corpse, nailing it to the ground.

They were its two strongest front legs, the ones it used for most of its attacks.

And now, like a warrior severing his own wrist, it had broken them to free itself from the **'s obstructing corpse.

At the same time, its abdomen was once again gouged into a bloody mess by the Cave Demon Spider's right shovel!

Roar!

The three new sources of agony turned the Man Faced Demon Spider's shriek into something like an enraged roar.

It raised the front half of its body and drove its two newly freed second front legs viciously toward the Cave Demon Spider's rear abdomen!

The Cave Demon Spider could scrape the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen one more time.

But the Man Faced Demon Spider could withstand it. It would take a third scrape to expose its internal organs and kill it.

The Cave Demon Spider's utterly unprotected abdomen and back, however, couldn't withstand being pierced by two Man Faced Demon Spider legs!

"Stop!"

"Stop, quickly!"

"Don't fight anymore!"

Just then, a voice rang out with a few teasing remarks.

Even though the two spider Soul Beasts were fighting for every second at this life-or-death moment, they suddenly stiffened when they heard the abrupt human voice.

The Man Faced Demon Spider in particular, just like the one before it, had been struck by Soul Impact.

Its two spider legs, already partway through their thrust, instantly fell limp and stabbed into the ground behind the Cave Demon Spider's rear.

In an instant, the two spider Soul Beasts no longer harbored the deep hatred of mortal enemies.

The Man Faced Demon Spider quickly raised its abdomen, releasing the Cave Demon Spider it had pinned down.

It looked toward the source of the voice with the four eyes remaining on the left side of its abdomen.

The Cave Demon Spider didn't take the opportunity to attack either. Instead, it turned its head to look as well.

Before their six eyes, a somewhat strange human appeared.

No, this was a Soul Beast.

Slender leaves, mostly Blue Silver but threaded with strands of gold, were wrapped into a human shape that emerged from behind a large tree in the distance.

It had all four limbs, even fingers and toes.

Even the facial features were outlined with leaf tips.

It looked like a peculiar carving or an exquisitely crafted scarecrow.

Clap, clap, clap!

He held out his leafy palms and clapped them together rapidly.

"Brilliant! The two of you put on a truly brilliant life-or-death battle!"

Ye Yang walked forward, applauding as he went.

He rapidly struck the leaves at his lips together, vibrating the air to produce sound.

It was already little different from an ordinary person speaking.

The Cave Demon Spider swept its right shovel across the web on the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs.

It quickly cut through the Spider King Cage it had gone to such lengths to cast just moments ago.

The Man Faced Demon Spider, in turn, sucked in the web and venom on the Cave Demon Spider with the great mouth on its abdomen.

The two turned, standing side by side as they watched Ye Yang with the utmost vigilance.

They naturally wanted to flee as well.

But with their intelligence, they could sense that they couldn't escape!

Only by staying and fighting side by side did they have a sliver of a chance.

The Cave Demon Spider's shovels were almost useless, but it still had its web, and that was its strongest skill.

The Man Faced Demon Spider had lost its two front legs and its three daily uses of Spider Web Restraint, but it still had six legs, and its attack power remained formidable.

Of course, its wounded abdomen had become the most vulnerable of its vital points!

Working together, the two still had the strength to fight.

"I was going to let the music play and the dancing continue, then profit like the fisherman and claim the Soul Bones."

"But the chances of a Soul Bone forming are far too small."

"Still, as far as I know, the more aggrieved, angry, unwilling, and resentful a Soul Beast is when it dies, the more likely its Spiritual Power is to undergo some special fusion with its Soul Power and flesh, making a Soul Bone more likely to form."

Ye Yang chuckled.

"So, Brother Spiders, please accept my thrashing!"
