After spending a day and a half, Ling Yun traversed the areas where thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts gathered, thoroughly eliminating all the soul beasts that had previously pursued him.
Currently, he was chasing his final target—a twenty-seven-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider.
He followed closely behind the Human-Faced Demon Spider, about ten meters away, releasing several Netherworld Soul-Snatching Claws from his hands.
Several three-meter-long, crescent-shaped claw blades nearly brushed the edges of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's body, landing beside it.
Although the claw blades didn't directly injure the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the residual force generated was enough to inflict a considerable wound.
This was the effect Ling Yun intended; otherwise, with his current strength, he could have sent the Human-Faced Demon Spider to meet the King of Hell in a single move.
Ling Yun grinned ferociously, approaching the Human-Faced Demon Spider while speaking playfully.
"Run, keep running. Don't say this young master didn't give you a chance."
As Ling Yun approached the Human-Faced Demon Spider, he didn't expect it to use its Spider Web skill twice in a row and then turn to flee.
Ling Yun was caught off guard and was tightly bound by the Human-Faced Demon Spider's incredibly tough web.
"Seriously? Couldn't you show a little sportsmanship, young one? Resorting to dirty tricks because you can't win?"
Ling Yun cursed inwardly. He finally broke free from the annoying web and continued his pursuit.
He realized the Human-Faced Demon Spider had used a skill to conceal its aura, making it impossible for him to sense its presence.
Fortunately, he could vaguely smell the Spider Blood the Human-Faced Demon Spider had left behind after being wounded. Otherwise, he might have actually lost track of the creature.
Following the scent of Spider Blood, Ling Yun discovered that the Human-Faced Demon Spider was about to enter the area where the 100,000-year soul beasts gathered, the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This area is inhabited by soul beasts like the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape.
If possible, Ling Yun definitely wouldn't want to enter the area where the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gather at this stage.
Those terrifying existences in the core area, regardless of whether they harbor any malice, possess a terrifying destructive power that's enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider had clearly been driven to desperation by Ling Yun, which was why it was heading towards the area where the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gathered.
Ling Yun was now a bit hesitant about whether to continue the pursuit.
After considering it for half a minute, Ling Yun decided to continue!
Otherwise, it would be incredibly difficult to seek revenge on this guy in the future.
At this moment, at the lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A massive bull's head emerged from the lake, causing ripples to spread across the previously still water.
A pair of eyes, larger than windmills, fixed directly on Ling Yun.
"Two soul beasts have entered the core zone, one less than thirty thousand years old, and the other around seventy thousand years."
As it spoke, more of its body surfaced, revealing a bull's head and a python's body. Who else could it be but the Sky Azure Bull Python?
As the emperor-level soul beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, it looked down at the Titan Ape by the lake with great authority, speaking in an undeniable tone.
"Second brother, go teach them a lesson! Drive them out of the core zone and warn them not to enter here again.
Sister Xiao Wu has dispersed her one hundred thousand year cultivation and transformed into a human. She is in the most critical, immature state. Now that our mother is gone, we must protect Sister Xiao Wu."
The Titan Ape by the lake nodded slightly upon hearing its elder brother's command and charged towards Ling Yun.
The camera cut back to outside the core zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Yun roared at the Human-Faced Demon Spider, his speed surging once more.
Sensing Ling Yun's displeasure, the Human-Faced Demon Spider hastily spat out one last Spider Web at him as he charged forward.
Ling Yun anticipated the Spider Web. He raised a foreclaw and slashed at the empty air.
A three-meter-long, crescent-shaped wind blade met the Spider Web, splitting it in two.
Seeing that things weren't going well, the Human-Faced Demon Spider made a sharp turn, dodging behind a large tree.
Although the tree shielded it from some of the wind blade's damage, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was still severely injured.
Ignoring its wounds, it immediately concealed its aura, causing Ling Yun to lose track of it again.
However, the scent of Spider Blood in the air grew increasingly strong in Ling Yun's perception.
He closed his eyes, using his sense of smell to carefully sniff the air before turning his head in a certain direction and continuing the chase.
"Still trying to run? You're dreaming! This young master is going to finish you off today!"
Eh... This aura seems like a human, but also like a soul beast. Could it be her...
Ling Yun muttered to himself.
He vaguely sensed that there was a being, neither human nor beast, less than 700 meters away from him.
Ling Yun didn't linger and continued to pursue his target.
After getting within a hundred meters of the target, Ling Yun finally got a clear look at the being that was neither human nor beast.
It was actually a beautiful little girl, appearing to be only about five years old. She had a pair of rabbit ears, wore a pink dress, and had skin as white as jade.
Sure enough, who else could this little loli be but Xiao Wu?
At this moment, she was squatting on the ground, diligently pulling out a carrot. The expression of her drooling over the carrot was adorable, making Ling Yun's heart melt.
Great, Xiao Wu looks so young, she probably hasn't gone to Notting Elementary Academy yet? Hehe!
Just then, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which had been in a hidden state, suddenly broke its concealment.
And its target was Xiao Wu, who was squatting on the ground, pulling out a carrot.
It was hard to say whether the Human-Faced Demon Spider was audacious or ignorant, but it dared to attack a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Even though this hundred-thousand-year soul beast was in the early stages of transforming into a human, and had almost no strength.
But if it were to injure her, the two overlords within the core area would probably fly into a rage.
At that point, not only would this Human-Faced Demon Spider die, but even the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be turned upside down.
However, Ling Yun didn't intend to rely on others to kill this Human-Faced Demon Spider; he decided to do it himself.
Moreover, this was an opportunity to get closer to Xiao Wu.
If he could seize the moment before Xiao Wu met Tang San, taking advantage of his proximity, why not?
Thinking of this, he opened his tiger mouth wide towards the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
A hazy light was gathering in his mouth, this was a special skill bestowed by the golden list: Multiple Netherworld Waves.
Multiple Netherworld Waves could be used a maximum of five times a day, and its power far exceeded the wind blades released by his claws.
It was Ling Yun's strongest attack method at this stage.
Now, for Ling Yun to stop the Human-Faced Demon Spider from reaching Xiao Wu was an almost impossible task. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to use his trump card.
After a very short period of energy gathering, Multiple Netherworld Waves shot from his mouth at the speed of light.
Like a terrifying death ray, it instantly pierced through the Human-Faced Demon Spider's massive body.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider didn't even have time to scream before it turned into a shower of blood, raining down onto the ground, and died instantly.
