Rumble!
Bai Kong's powerful blow sent Euphemia flying through the wall. She flew for a long time before finally coming to a stop. A large amount of rubble fell from the shaking ceiling, and a thick fog of steam erupted from a broken pipe, completely obscuring Euphemia's figure.
But just as Euphemia was about to vanish completely from the screen, a series of small, cold flashes suddenly tore through the steam, flying furiously towards Bai Kong.
In the dissipating steam, Euphemia controlled a large number of silvery-white threads with her hands. Her expression was grim, and her waist-length silver hair was drenched with sweat, clinging to her seductive body. If you only looked at this scene, without all that happened before, the sinister-looking Bai Kong would appear to be a more fitting 'villain' than Euphemia.
"Is that all you've got?"
With a contemptuous voice, Bai Kong effortlessly caught the silvery-white threads Euphemia had used to counterattack with just one hand.
Seeing this, a ruthless look flashed in Euphemia's beautiful purple eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't get too cocky."
As her words fell, the silver threads in Bai Kong's hand began to vibrate at a high frequency with a jarring hum. Euphemia was trying to use this method to slice off Bai Kong's hand!
But the next second, Bai Kong did something that was completely unexpected to both Euphemia and the audience. He looked at the silver threads in his hand, not only ignoring the exaggerated cutting power but also widening his mouth into a chillingly impactful grin that nearly reached his ears.
To Euphemia's horror, Bai Kong slowly raised the silver threads to his face and bit them in half!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
After a round of chewing, Bai Kong smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. "It tastes a little like spoiled grapes. Not very good."
Then, Bai Kong raised his head and looked at the terrified Euphemia. In the most casual tone, he said the most bone-chilling words. "But I think you'll taste more delicious than these threads, which only have a little bit of star energy left. After all, a little spider from the void... I bet the taste won't be too bad, right?"
Upon hearing this, a shiver ran down Euphemia's spine. Was her noble, intelligent astral beast race just "food" in his eyes?! With this terrifying thought, Euphemia subconsciously touched her neck.
A distinct, purple palm print was still visible on her long, fair neck. That was the "mark" Bai Kong had left on her earlier. Feeling the threat, her expression became incredibly solemn.
In response, Bai Kong tilted his head and smiled. Then, he suddenly pulled on the remaining threads still wrapped around his arm. The sudden massive force caught Euphemia, who had the other end of the threads wrapped around her thigh, completely off guard.
Her blade-like feet scraped the ground with a screech, and the exposed white thigh beneath her armor was cinched into a visible ring of flesh by the suddenly taut threads. Fortunately, Bai Kong didn't keep pulling, so Euphemia was able to stop herself.
Seeing her like that, Bai Kong's eyes held no pity. All he had was a playful look of a 'toy' he was about to use. After all, as an opponent, Euphemia couldn't even compare to a single strand of that silver-haired guy's hair. But as a toy and food, Euphemia was... just barely passable.
So, he didn't mind playing with her. But as he saw that he was already going easy, Euphemia was still dawdling in the distance. Bai Kong was getting a little impatient.
"Hurry up. You're just food. I don't have the patience to play these childish games with you."
Foo-food?!
Euphemia's eye twitched slightly. The intense humiliation and rage made her stop hesitating. She was going to make this arrogant guy pay a bloody price!
Euphemia's spider legs on her back suddenly straightened and spread out, their sharp ends glowing with a cold light. Then, her feet stepped on the webs behind her, using the recoil to lunge toward Bai Kong.
In mid-air, a large number of silvery-white threads shot out from all over Euphemia's body, covering every space Bai Kong could possibly dodge into. But to Euphemia's bewilderment, Bai Kong not only showed no intention of dodging, but he also yawned out of boredom.
He allowed the tough silver threads to wrap tightly around his body, binding him completely.
Seeing that Bai Kong was trapped, a surge of joy rose in Euphemia's heart, and her eyes became ruthless.
Ten-Blade Style—Chaotic Blades!
With a strong killing intent, Euphemia's eight spider legs and the longswords in her hands transformed into a flurry of cold light, slashing fiercely at Bai Kong's seemingly weak flesh.
But a similar scene to before happened again. Euphemia's "blades," which were strong enough to tear through steel, couldn't even scratch Bai Kong!
Looking at the completely unharmed Bai Kong, Euphemia's pupils shrank in horror.
"H-how is this possible?!"
"Why wouldn't it be possible?"
Facing a stunned Euphemia, Bai Kong suddenly broke the threads on his body and instantly appeared in front of her. He precisely grabbed one of her silvery-white spider legs... and yanked hard!
"Ah!"
With a crisp sound of bone breaking, Euphemia let out a shrill scream. In intense pain and the strong threat of death, Euphemia immediately distanced herself from Bai Kong, not daring to get any closer to this "monster."
Bai Kong didn't bother to pursue. He looked down at the silvery-white spider leg in his hand, then bit into it without hesitation.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
With a bone-chilling chewing sound, Bai Kong ate the food in his hand, his eyes smiling as he looked at Euphemia not far away.
Seeing this, Euphemia trembled all over. She was truly terrified. The person in front of her was no longer the weak, innocent Son of the Stars from before. He was clearly a terrifying beast that had just broken free from hell!
"You're not Chen Kong. Who are you?"
"Pah."
Bai Kong spat out the remaining silver fragments from his mouth, his tone filled with disdain and contempt for "Chen Kong."
"When did I ever say I was that useless trash?"
Ignoring Euphemia's increasingly ugly expression, Bai Kong shook his head with a look of regret.
"Weak. You're too weak. Your threads, your astral shell, everything about you... is too weak!"
To Euphemia's horror, Bai Kong suddenly turned into an afterimage, appearing in front of her in an instant. Out of instinct, Euphemia's five remaining spider legs on her back all shot toward Bai Kong's eyes.
Since she couldn't break through Bai Kong's body's defense, she would start with the most "vulnerable" part—his eyes!
