Chapter 77: Spider God Possession, Slaying a 30,000-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider!
A dark region of the forest.
The trees were dense, and sunlight barely penetrated through. The air was filled with the smell of decay.
With her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul possessed, Zhu Zhuqing moved through the forest.
As she walked, she familiarized herself with the Dark Gold Terror Claw while searching for traces of a Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Her left hand glowed dark gold; her right hand bore the Terror Claw.
She felt like a walking killing machine.
Every soul beast that approached her was effortlessly sent into the slaughter space, joining the countless wandering souls there.
As she went deeper, the surroundings grew increasingly dark and eerie.
Suddenly—
"Whoosh!"
A violent gust of wind surged.
A massive green spider web suddenly spread open and dropped toward the girl.
"Hm?"
Zhu Zhuqing's cat ears twitched slightly.
Having remained on guard the entire time, she reacted instantly.
"Phantom Flash!"
Her left foot flashed faintly as she stomped down, shattering the shadow beneath her.
Her body instantly shifted by more than ten meters, leaving behind a lifelike afterimage where she had stood.
"Swish!"
The spider web fell.
The afterimage shattered.
Turning around, the girl quickly discovered a familiar old acquaintance.
"A Man-Faced Demon Spider!"
Standing beneath the sticky web, dripping with viscous fluid, was a massive creature patterned in black and white.
On its human-like face, eight demonic eyes glowed eerily.
"Hiss—!"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider let out a sharp screech and lunged from the web.
Two crimson-glowing spider spears stabbed straight toward her vital points.
"Gravity Force Pressure, Dark Gold Terror Claw!"
Zhu Zhuqing neither dodged nor retreated.
There was not the slightest fear in her eyes.
She raised both hands.
Dark golden light shone brilliantly from them.
Gravity suddenly manifested, forcibly suppressing the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body, trapping it as if stuck in mud, and making it difficult to evade.
Golden light shimmered as her cat claws pierced through the air, meeting the attack head-on.
"BOOM—!!!"
A massive collision erupted.
The explosion roared as shockwaves spread violently outward.
The Dark Gold left hand unleashed a heavy force.
Under its full power, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body was forced backward.
But the Dark Gold Terror Claw showed no mercy.
With one swipe, the razor-sharp spider legs shattered one after another.
One leg was directly severed.
In just one exchange, the Man-Faced Demon Spider instantly lost nearly half of its combat strength.
"An opening!"
Seeing the spider completely exposed, Zhu Zhuqing's right-hand Dark Gold Terror Claw shimmered with flowing light as she prepared to finish it in one strike.
"Don't rush!"
Bai Lu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Toy with it! Force it to use Spider God Possession before killing it!"
He remembered clearly.
In the original story, when Tang San hunted a Man-Faced Demon Spider, it entered the Spider God Possession state before being killed.
After devouring it, the Eight Spider Lances condensed a sternum, linking with other soul bones to form that special soul bone armor.
If Zhu Zhuqing could replicate that process, Bai Lu was confident that with his talent, he could create a unique Hell Battle Armor for her.
"Alright!"
Though she did not fully understand the reason, Zhu Zhuqing immediately stopped the killing strike.
In battle, opportunities pass in an instant.
If you do not attack, the enemy naturally will.
"Ahhh—!"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider screamed in pain.
The remaining spider legs shot forward simultaneously, turning into seven streaks of black lightning aimed at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Hell Rush Stab!"
Her soul ring flashed.
Using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, her figure moved effortlessly between the seven spider legs.
Like a butterfly dancing among flowers, untouched by a single leaf.
Her cat claws struck repeatedly, helping the spider "shed its armor."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Pieces of armor fell off as foul-smelling liquid splattered everywhere.
"Hiss! AHH!!!"
Feeling the torment of being toyed with like prey and sensing its life gradually draining away, the Man-Faced Demon Spider shrieked madly.
Its attacks became increasingly frenzied.
Yet it still could not touch the girl even once.
Finally—
A purple light flashed in its eyes.
Its seven spider spears moved rapidly as it suddenly turned and fled toward an even darker area of the forest.
"Trying to run?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sharpened.
Her left leg and left hand lit up simultaneously.
In a flash, she appeared directly in front of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Leaping high, she delivered a powerful punch.
One step shattering darkness.
One punch, collapsing mountains!
The force of her punch surged like a dragon as it slammed into the spider's face.
BOOM—!
Soul power exploded outward.
The spider's hard armor shattered, and its charging body was blasted backward.
It smashed through a massive tree before barely stopping.
Looking at the girl slowly walking toward it, the Man-Faced Demon Spider finally realized—
It was the prey.
There was no chance of escape.
If it wanted to live, it had to destroy this enemy who was pretending to be prey.
"Hiss—!"
It screamed toward the sky.
A thick gray light suddenly burst forth.
Its already massive body expanded further.
The diameter of its main body grew from over three meters to more than seven meters.
Its thick spider legs sprouted countless dagger-like barbs.
Even the broken leg regenerated.
Gray energy swirled as shattered armor pieces reassembled and thickened.
This soul skill was Spider God Possession.
Every second this state was maintained burned one year of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's cultivation.
Yet in this state, the aura of the Man-Faced Demon Spider was actually comparable to that of a Titled Douluo.
"White Tiger Killing God Transformation! White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
The moment she sensed something was wrong, the girl transformed into a white tiger girl and fully activated her enhancement skills.
Then she switched back into the hell spirit cat girl form and activated the palm bone.
Her claws instantly shone with dark golden light.
One was overwhelmingly powerful.
The other was impossibly sharp.
The Eight Spider Lances shot out from her back, pointing straight at the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
"Now!"
Bai Lu shouted in a low voice.
"Phantom Flash, Hell Rush Stab!"
Zhu Zhuqing held nothing back.
She stepped into the shadows and burst forward at full speed.
"Gravity Force Pressure, Shatter the Mountain and Split the Earth!"
A terrifying gravity instantly pressed down on the giant spider.
Her fist followed the force, its momentum breaking the heavens.
BOOM—!
The strike landed.
The spider's newly strengthened armor shattered instantly.
Its enormous body was blasted backward.
"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"
Her right hand flickered.
The claw followed the shadow, tearing the sky and shaking the earth.
A golden claw beam carrying the power to rip everything apart slammed directly into the spider's exposed body.
"BOOM—!!!"
Blood exploded.
Flesh flew everywhere.
With a single strike, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's head and half of its body were split apart!
That one attack drained half of Zhu Zhuqing's soul power.
If the Dark Gold Terror Claw had matured further, the strike might have split the spider entirely in two.
Even in the Spider God Possession state, the Man-Faced Demon Spider still possessed terrifying vitality.
Even after such damage, it still attempted a final suicidal attack.
But Zhu Zhuqing's assault had not ended.
"Hell Piercing Strike! Hell Shadow Assault!"
The Eight Spider Lances behind her moved simultaneously.
They stabbed precisely into the spider's torn body.
Rip!
With a powerful pull, the massive corpse split apart once again.
"Hiss…"
The spider's attack stopped abruptly.
Its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground.
It was dead.
Killed by the girl standing atop its body, the one who had torn it apart.
From the corpse slowly emerged a deep black 30,000-year soul ring.
Blood flowers scattered across the ground like a tragic fairy tale.
Yet the girl herself remained spotless.
