"Ha —!"
Waving its arm, the Earth Spider punched at Blue who was standing on the ground.
The nine tails on Blue's back stretched out in front of her in an instant. The demonic power on the tails blocked the Earth Spider's attack.
"Boom —!!"
The thunderous sound of the attacks spread outside the ring.
The Earth Spider and Blue who were confronting each other looked at each other and moved at the same time —
Blue's body kept moving around the ring. From time to time, she would release fox fire at the Earth Spider or wave her tails to create a blade-like hurricane.
Unlike Blue's erratic movements, the Earth Spider's attacks were wide open. It stood in the middle of the ring and allowed Blue to attack from all directions. It was as steady as Mount Tai.
Every time it punched, the demonic power created a gust of wind that shook the atmosphere. Not only did it offset Blue's fox fire, but it could also unexpectedly resolve Blue's attacks.
Tactician's Nine Tails and Eight Clouds Blue were good at agility and wisdom.
However, in this ring that seemed to be enchanted, the space for movement was limited. Facing a huge demonic beast like the Earth Spider that completely relied on its body to fight, Blue felt like she was facing a turtle that shrank into its shell. She had no idea where to start.
On the other hand, the Earth Spider was getting more and more into the zone. Its body began to emit steam.
"Awesome —!!"
Roaring to the sky, the Earth Spider's attacks sped up again.
"You're a worthy opponent, so I won't hold back. Be careful!"
"Bang!"
Blue flipped over and dodged a gust of wind. Her body drew an afterimage and landed on a stone pillar.
She raised her hand and took off another talisman from her hat.
"Oh? You have a backup plan? "
The Earth Spiders noticed this and stopped their attacks. They assumed the defensive posture of a free-for-all.
Azura pursed her lips with a smile in the corner of her eyes. The tips of her nine tails ignited with a "bang" and a ball of blue fox fire ignited.
Then, Blue's figure pulled down faster than before. In the blink of an eye, she appeared below the Earth Spider.
Her jade feet stepped on the ground lightly.
"Boom —!!"
A loud sound that didn't match the action sounded.
The fox fire exploded under Blue's feet. It was like several agile snakes that quickly slithered around the ring.
In an instant, a yin-yang fish pattern completely formed by fox fire appeared on the ring.
"This is?"
The Earth Spider raised its right leg and was about to stomp down.
It was unknown when Blue had appeared at the edge of the ring again. He waved his hands repeatedly, and the giant yin-yang fish formed by foxfire extended several flaming chains, entangling the Earth Spider's body.
"Lord Purple once said that battle should be an elegant thing. We can't blindly rely on brute force."
"Strategy and wisdom are both very important. Lord Purple is a peerless scholar, and I have always regarded her advice as a guide."
"It's just that I'm slow-witted. For hundreds of years, I've only learned a few formations from the ancient books of the predecessors. I'm not even one ten-thousandth of what Lord Purple is capable of. Even Young Master Mo has surpassed me by quite a bit."
"Since there's such an opportunity today, I might as well set up this formation. Let's see this person … ahem, show off his skills."
"Do you recognize this formation?"
As soon as Lan finished speaking, the Fox Fire Array Formation on the arena changed again. The Yin-Yang fish slowly rotated.
As it rotated, the Yin-Yang fish split into two. The second Yin-Yang fish began to float up and finally flew above the Earth Spider's head.
Then, the two Yin-Yang fish shot out several pillars of fire from each other. A cage formed completely by foxfire instantly trapped the Earth Spider inside.
"This foxfire is different from the previous one. It won't be scattered so easily!"
Lan elegantly spun in a circle. The flames at the tip of her nine tails were like nine beautiful lanterns.
"Is that so?"
The Earth Spider did not believe it and threw a punch.
The fist wrapped in demonic power smashed into the pillar of fire, causing a burst of devastating lightning.
"Wuuuuuu —!!"
Even the Earth Spider cried out in pain after being hit by the lightning.
"Hmph!!"
The Earth Spider was enraged by this. The red light in its eyes under the mask intensified. It ignored its legs that were entangled by the flaming chains and kept throwing punches at the cage.
However, every time he swung his fist, a ripple would appear on the cage. The cage seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, but it still firmly trapped the Earth Spider within.
Moreover, each attack would cause the Earth Spider to suffer the pain of being pierced by lightning.
"Huh —?"
After throwing dozens of punches, the Earth Spider finally realized that something was wrong.
Every time it threw a punch full of demonic power and retracted it, the demonic power seemed to be absorbed by the cage.
The absorbed demonic power strengthened the cage itself. The more it attacked, the more stable the cage became!
"Good technique!"
The Earth Spider could not help but exclaim in admiration. It looked down at Lan outside.
Seeing this, Lan's body slowly floated up until it was level with the Earth Spider.
"It seems that you've found out."
"Not bad. This cage can actually absorb my demonic power to strengthen itself. Your fox technique is quite powerful!"
"As a sign of respect to the strong, I'll tell you my name. Earth Spider, what's your name?"
"I'm Yakumo Lan."
Lan stood in the air and bowed.
"Yakumo Lan? Very good! Listen well, I've always believed in one sentence — "
"What sentence?"
Lan frowned slightly.
The Earth Spider laughed out loud. "There's no problem in this world that can't be solved with one punch. If there is, then two punches!"
"If it still doesn't work, then increase the power of your fist!"
With that said, the Earth Spider raised its upper body slightly.
Its four arms contracted. The muscles on its arms rolled and the veins popped out.
Waves of black mist were emitted from the Earth Spider's body — it was the condensed demonic power.
The demonic power all gathered on the Earth Spider's four fists. Then, as if it felt that it had accumulated enough strength, the Earth Spider roared and smashed its four arms forward at the same time.
"Boom —!!!"
"Boom —!!!"
First, the fist broke through the speed of sound and produced a sonic boom. Then, the fist smashed into the cage and exploded with a huge boom.
Even Lan could not help but be slightly moved at this moment.
The cage formed by the fox fire began to distort and shatter. The splashing flames ignited the entire arena and burned on the curtain formed by the spider silk around it.
At the last moment before the fox fire cage broke, it exploded with a desperate counterattack. The blue flames soared into the sky and drowned the Earth Spider's huge body.
When the flames subsided, the arena was already ruined. The spider silk curtain that sealed this space was also burned away.
The Earth Spider sat cross-legged on the ground and panted slightly.
Most of the skin on its exposed body had dark burn marks.
"What do you think?"
Looking at Lan who slowly landed on the ground, the Earth Spider laughed.
"I'm right, right?"
"Really, you're too rude."
Lan sighed and shook its head.
The Earth Spider did not care. It took out a pipe from somewhere and started smoking.
"How about we call this a draw? I've already had a lot of fun! "
"So?"
Eight-cloud Ink's voice suddenly sounded.
Eight-cloud Ink appeared beside Lan without anyone noticing. It held an umbrella to block the drizzle in the sky for itself and Lan.
"Earth Spider, how about we stop fighting before the Chi is born?"
"You —?"
The Earth Spider lowered its head and looked at Eight-cloud Ink in deep thought.
"Okay, you seem to be a very powerful guy. Do you dare to tell me your name? "
"Eight-cloud Ink."
"Yakumo …?"
Hearing this surname again, Earth Spider chuckled.
"This world is getting more and more interesting!"
Then, the Earth Spider stood up and left the arena step by step.
Lan pasted the two talismans on her hat again. Suddenly, the seductive temperament disappeared without a trace. She once again became the gentle and cute Lan of the past.
"Young Master Mo."
Turning around to look at Eight-cloud Ink, Lan put her hands into her sleeves.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lan."
Opening a gap, Eight-cloud Ink took out a plate of fried tofu and handed it to Lan.
Lan's amber eyes lit up. She happily reached out to take it and ate happily.
