Thwish!
Without touching the ground, Wang Chong silently made his way toward the cave entrance.
It's a good thing that it didn't seal the entrance shut!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
The dark green fog still pervaded the cave, making it hard to see inside. However, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was still able to clearly see what was going on. After 'forcing back' Wang Chong and Young Master Qingyang, the spider had retreated to the massive tree in the center of the cave and continued to entangle with its prey.
With a toss of its two limbs, the spider immediately pulled up its prey and brought it along the white threads to the top of the tree.
It seems like this beast can control the toughness and sharpness of the spider threads at will. Otherwise, given how terrifying these threads are, those prey would have been cut to pieces long ago.
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Wang Chong stood at the entrance to the cave, thinking for a few moments, and then he had an idea.
Buzz!
A few moments later, Wang Chong lunged at the Darkshadow Spider in the dark green fog.
As Wang Chong advanced, he had done his best to avoid all the sharp threads. In a flash, he was within one hundred feet of the spider.
Hiss!
The massive spider immediately raised its head and hissed in warning. At the same time, it opened its mouth and shot thin threads at Wang Chong, covering every possible angle of attack.
However, Wang Chong reacted quickly, dodging ten-some threads in a few steps and attempting to attack the Darkshadow Spider from another angle.
However, he had only flown five or six meters before his chest was pierced by a dozen or so incredibly sharp spider threads with a loud rumble.
However, the scene of blood spurting out did not appear. After being struck by the spider web, Wang Chong's body immediately turned into a blur and vanished into the void.
Alarm bells went off in the spider's heart at the sight of this, and its hissing became more and more rapid. Although it wasn't very intelligent, it knew that the human it had just attacked was not real.
Xiu! In the instant that the first Wang Chong was pierced through, another identical Wang Chong appeared in another direction. This Wang Chong wielded a sharp sword, and his eyes were piercingly cold as he pounced toward the spider.
The Darkshadow Spider clearly felt a trace of anxiety, because in its perception, this human was clearly no different from a real person. It couldn't tell the difference at all.
Chi!
The Darkshadow Spider spread its body. In the blink of an eye, seventy to eighty strands of white silk shot toward the second Wang Chong.
Puff!
This large-scale attack showed its effect. Before the second Wang Chong could get very far, he was riddled with holes by the Darkshadow Spider.
"Good chance!"
At this moment, Wang Chong rejoiced and leapt out from behind the Darkshadow Spider.
The Doppelganger Art could split into three. Using these doppelgangers to attract the opponent's attention while simultaneously hiding the aura of the main body, Wang Chong had already used this trick time and time again.
When the men in black had attacked the Zhengqi League, Wang Chong had succeeded in deceiving them. It was the same with the Dragonbeasts.
Hiss!
This time, the Darkshadow Spider finally sensed an enormous threat, and a hint of panic appeared in its sixteen pairs of eyes. As it let out a hurried warning cry, it twisted its body as if it wanted to turn around and deal with Wang Chong.
As it turned around, it shot out poisonous silk from its tail toward Wang Chong. But this time, it had only shot out two strands of silk in a short period of time. The third time, it clearly didn't shoot as much.
But even so, the Darkshadow Spider's silk was still incomparably sharp and difficult to defend against.
Clang! But in the next moment, a cold light flashed in Wang Chong's hand, and a short dagger rapidly slashed through the air. At the critical moment, ding ding ding, it quickly hit the terrifying spider silk that was flying in the air.
The spider silk, sharp enough to cut diamond in half, had met its match this time.
With a series of collisions, all the spider silk shooting toward Wang Chong was blocked by Wang Chong and fell to the ground.
"WuZi Steel Dagger!"
The weapon Wang Chong had used at this critical moment was none other than the WuZi Steel dagger he carried with him.
WuZi Steel was known as the rarest, most precious, and best material for swords and sabers in the world. It didn't need to be forged, but it was born with magical runes that could cut through metal and jade. Its sharpness was almost unparalleled in the world.
Perhaps only WuZi Steel weapons could compete with the Darkshadow Spider's silk.
Bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong took advantage of this opportunity to charge at the Darkshadow Spider. At the same time, Wang Chong flicked his fingers, sending waves of Sword Qi shooting toward the Darkshadow Spider's main body.
The spider finally grew anxious. It let out a sharp screech as it shot its silk at Wang Chong. At the same time, its eight limbs began to climb, borrowing the threads hanging down from above to rapidly ascend.
It was clear that the current situation was completely out of its expectations. It was better at attacking its prey from a distance, and now that someone had suddenly closed in on it, it was clearly thrown into disarray.
"Hmph, do you think you can leave?"
Wang Chong sneered. Although the Darkshadow Spider's silk was formidable, its main body wasn't. This was why he had used his clone to trick it so that he could rapidly approach. If the Darkshadow Spider succeeded in reaching the top of the tree, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Clangclangclang! The WuZi Steel dagger in Wang Chong's hand moved with incredible speed. No matter how fast or from which direction the threads came, they were all blocked.
The Darkshadow Spider's terrifying threads were completely powerless in front of the WuZi Steel. But just as Wang Chong was about to give chase, the sound of metal cracking rang out.
Wang Chong was alarmed. He saw that the WuZi Steel dagger in his hand, after withstanding the attacks of more than a hundred threads, was actually covered in fine cracks.
One of the spots on the dagger had actually caved in because it had suffered too many attacks. There was an obvious chip on the dagger.
"This … how is this possible!?"
Wang Chong's eyes widened. He was the one who had personally forged the WuZi Steel weapon and made it famous throughout the world. No one understood the terror of this weapon better than Wang Chong.
As far as Wang Chong was concerned, this weapon was practically impossible to destroy.
Although the Darkshadow Spider's silk didn't seem to be able to do anything to the WuZi Steel dagger, it was still too sharp. After withstanding so many attacks, the WuZi Steel dagger had suffered irreversible damage.
These thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind, but Wang Chong didn't slow down in the slightest.
"Buzz!"
Even though his abdomen was throbbing with pain and his Stellar Energy wasn't in the slightest disorder, Wang Chong didn't hesitate to use the Void Movement Technique he had learned from the black-clothed man. In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong had vanished from sight.
Squeak squeak!
Sensing this, the Darkshadow Spider panicked even more. Even its voice had changed, and it began to squeak and squeak. Wang Chong's disappearance made it feel an unprecedented sense of danger and unease. At such a close distance, it would be even more difficult to dodge.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the Darkshadow Spider's abdomen and mouth simultaneously spat out a vast amount of silk. Hundreds of sharp threads hissed as they shot off in every direction.
The Darkshadow Spider's body began to wither at a visible rate.
It was clear that Wang Chong's attack had forced it to draw out its body's potential. The sea of spider silk had inflicted significant damage to its body.
Even Wang Chong couldn't help but be alarmed at the sight of the white spider silk.
Although the Void Movement Technique was so fast that it was difficult to follow with the naked eye, the Darkshadow Spider's white silk was so dense and crisscrossing that not even a cat could squeeze through, much less a human.
Even worse was that in any other situation, Wang Chong could use his Stellar Energy to blow apart these obstructions, but the Darkshadow Spider's silk could even cut through Stellar Energy, and not even his Sword Qi could stop it. If he tried to force his way through, he would be cut into countless pieces.
But even so, Wang Chong's reaction was not slow. As a top-class Imperial Great General, he was extremely experienced.
Clingclang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong threw the WuZi Steel dagger at the Darkshadow Spider.
Squeak!
But before the WuZi Steel dagger could get very far, an even shriller cry resounded through the cave. The Darkshadow Spider, which had already retreated back into the tree, suddenly narrowed its sixteen compound eyes and opened its mouth, shooting ten-some translucent white silk at Wang Chong's WuZi Steel dagger.
Although this spider was not as intelligent as a human, it was still intelligent. The fact that the human's dagger was able to block its white silk had attracted its attention from the very start. Even as it frantically retreated, its sixteen compound eyes had been focused on the dagger in Wang Chong's hand.
From a certain perspective, this dagger was even more dangerous than Wang Chong himself.
"Hmph, as expected!"
Wang Chong sneered at this sight, as if he had already expected this.
Although he had initially thought of using the WuZi Steel dagger to kill the spider by pouring Stellar Energy into it, it was clear that this crafty and intelligent spider had been on guard. Moreover, if he lost the WuZi Steel dagger, Wang Chong would find it very difficult to use any effective methods to keep this spider in check.
The risk was too great, so Wang Chong had to proceed with caution.
Fortunately, this had not been Wang Chong's plan from the very start.
Bang!
After tricking the Darkshadow Spider into another wave of attacks, Wang Chong swept his WuZi Steel dagger horizontally through the air. Using the WuZi Steel dagger's sturdy properties and the WuZi Steel dagger as a shield, Wang Chong's Stellar Energy exploded out, creating a man-sized gap in the white silk.
