“Is… is this real?”
Wang Qi’s voice trembled. The formation he had completely looked down on earlier was now firmly trapping countless spiders inside. No matter how fiercely they struggled, they couldn’t escape.
At the same time, Bai Ying flew swiftly toward the densest swarm of spiders. Her figure was like a bolt of lightning, slicing across the sky in a graceful arc.
She continuously struck down with her palms. Each strike landed like a meteor crashing into the earth, bursting with immense power.
In an instant, flames erupted from the ground, roaring upward like a surging tide. Waves of fire spread in all directions. The blazing light illuminated the entire space—it was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Seeing the others take out their treasure artifacts, Wang Qi also brought out his own and started attacking the spiders within the formation.
But before his artifact could even show its strength, all the spiders had already been wiped out.
Wang Qi began to wonder—could Bai Ying have killed them all by herself? Their attacks seemed to be for show, just to let them feel involved.
Lin Yizhi glanced at him like he was looking at an idiot.
“What do you mean ‘is this real’? Didn’t my boss just say we only need to attack the formation?”
He pulled out his Yin-Yang Arrow.
What was supposed to be a sleek arrow was now suddenly thick and heavy.
The four others stared in disbelief. “This is the Yin-Yang Arrow? Why is it so massive?”
They had seen Yin-Yang Arrows before—even in the hands of Lin Yizhi’s father, they weren’t this thick!
Lin Yizhi was speechless. “Are you guys stupid? Didn’t you see my boss just upgrade it?”
He gave them an annoyed look. He hadn’t thought they were this dumb. They had seen Bai Ying modify the arrow, and now they were acting clueless?
He fully drew the Yin-Yang Arrow and released it.
The arrow shot out like a flash of lightning, unstoppable in its momentum. Not only did it obliterate all the spiders within the formation, but it also pierced through the mass outside it, killing countless others.
“Boss, that was amazing!” Lin Yizhi said, visibly excited.
Wang Qi and the others were nearly in tears.
“Amazing”? That was a massive understatement. The source of this chapter is g.com.
The top-grade artifacts in their own hands didn’t have this kind of raw power. That one arrow killed more spiders than all of them combined could have.
And Bai Ying had even offered to enhance their weapons.
They had refused.
Now they deeply regretted it. The remorse was beyond words.
More spiders surged toward Bai Ying. The sheer number of them was overwhelming, piling together like a towering mountain. Trapped within the formation, they couldn’t escape no matter how they struggled. Soon, they were stacking on top of each other, forming what looked like a grotesque spider tower.
Bai Ying floated in mid-air, her posture graceful and composed. Her movements were crisp and precise as she tore through the swarm like a flash of blazing light.
Wang Qi and his group stood there, watching her like they were admiring a brilliant performance.
Then Bai Ying called out, “Prepare to kill the mother spider.”
Only then did the four snap out of their daze. It turned out, while they had been focused on the swarm, Bai Ying had already managed to restrain the massive mother spider.
She flew toward them, and the mother spider followed close behind.
But they clearly saw her luring the smaller spiders earlier—how had she also managed to trap the mother spider at the same time?
Lin Yizhi had already drawn the Yin-Yang Arrow to full tension. With a sharp twang, an arrow shot straight toward the mother spider.
The arrow cut through the air with a fierce whistling sound. The tip gleamed with cold light, like it could pierce anything.
The mother spider roared in fury as one of its eyes was pierced. A thick, green liquid oozed from the wound. In pain, the spider thrashed violently, the air around it shaking with rage.
Wang Qi’s heart sank. He knew if the spider couldn’t be killed in one blow, it would launch a brutal counterattack—especially against the cultivator who injured it. The spider’s webs would be fired with precision and deadly poison.
Sure enough, the Nether Spider flew into a frenzy. It instantly spat out countless silver threads, dancing through the air like snakes, shooting straight at Lin Yizhi.
But at that critical moment, Bai Ying struck without hesitation.
With a palm strike, she shattered the threads instantly.
Then she pulled out her censer artifact and trapped the mother spider inside.
Blazing red light burst from the artifact like a miniature sun. Torrents of fire shot out in all directions, burning fiercely with crackling explosions. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“So powerful…”
The four men were frozen, speechless.
They had hunted Nether Spiders before, and even those weaker than this one had taken their entire team—and usually some luck—to defeat. The spiders were fast, powerful, and incredibly hard to kill. The only reason they’d succeeded in the past was because their target had already been injured.
And that was with them launching a surprise attack.
Now, Bai Ying had subdued one on her own.
The censer they once mocked was now radiating incredible might, surging with endless spiritual energy. The energy flowed like a great river.
Ring after ring of glowing energy emerged from the censer, forming chains of spiritual power that locked the mother spider in place.
“Kill it!” Bai Ying shouted. Her voice was like thunder, snapping everyone back to reality. The four of them quickly retrieved their weapons.
Although their attacks weren’t fast or fierce, Bai Ying had already bound the spider tightly.
It roared and thrashed inside the glowing chains, its cries piercing and terrifying. It slammed against the bindings, shaking the ground with every blow. But no matter how violently it struggled, it couldn’t break free from the golden shackles that looked fragile but were unbreakably strong.
Eventually, its strength ran out.
With a crash, it collapsed.
Finally, the Nether Spider was completely slain.
Wang Qi and the others still couldn’t believe it. They had just killed one of the fiercest demonic beasts with barely any effort.
There had been no dodging, no real combat.
They had just stood there and attacked from a distance.
It was absurd.
They had never experienced such an effortless battle in their entire lives.
