"What is Edward doing?" Dai Mubai snapped out of his daze, watching as Xiao Tianyang swung the Pit Demon Spider in place. A look of confusion crossed his face. "Is he… throwing it at us?"
"Seems like it!" Oscar suddenly exclaimed.
At that moment, Xiao Tianyang finally released the Pit Demon Spider in his grip, sending it hurtling toward them like a baseball.
Tang San immediately issued orders: "This 10,000 year spirit beast has already been weakened by Edward. Its strength isn't even half of its peak. We can handle it!"
"Oscar, give Brother Dai Mubai a Stimulating Pink Sausage. Brother Dai, you take it head-on—I'll support you. Fatty, protect Zhuqing and Rongrong!"
"Xiao Wu, look for an opening to toss it into the air!"
Though Xiao Tianyang's actions seemed abrupt, Tang San had already anticipated this when he saw him targeting the Pit Demon Spider. He was certain that Xiao Tianyang's final offensive would come after they all obtained their spirit rings.
'This must be why he's been so eager to help us.'
In this situation, as long as they protected Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong while they absorbed their spirit rings, victory was assured. Even if things went south, Dean and others nearby wouldn't stand idly by.
Because he understood this, Tang San remained calm, neither panicking nor complaining.
However, just as the two sides were about to clash—
"Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had been meditating with their eyes closed, suddenly opened them!
An uncontrollable aura erupted from their bodies—the unmistakable pressure of the level 40!
"Great! Two more boosts!" Oscar clapped his hands, his face lighting up with joy.
"Save your energy. You'd be better off pulling out your Zhuge Crossbow and shooting it," Ning Rongrong shot back. Then, her spirit rings emerged, all four glowing at once.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda"
"Nine Treasures has its first: Strength!"
"Nine Treasures has its second: Speed!"
"Nine Treasures has its third: Soul Power!"
"Nine Treasures has its fourth: Defense!"
In an instant, radiant nine-colored light bathed the battlefield, reflecting off everyone. The overwhelming power made Dai Mubai roar, his muscles bulging as his face twisted with battle frenzy.
"With this, I can easily go toe-to-toe with the Pit Demon Spider!" His first spirit ring flashed, and Dai Mubai lunged forward.
The Pit Demon Spider, still disoriented from being thrown, had no time to react before Dai Mubai slammed into it like a meteor!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The muffled impacts echoed as the massive spider was sent staggering back.
"Good! Fatty, Pit Demon Spiders are insects—they fear fire the most. You're the main attacker now!" As Tang San spoke, he pressed his palms to the ground.
Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass burst from beneath the spider's feet, coiling around it like tentacles!
"Roar!"
Despite its injuries, this was still a 10,000 year spirit beast. Even weakened, its defenses were formidable.
Enraged, the Pit Demon Spider thrashed violently, its murderous intent surging.
'How dare these weak humans challenge me?!'
But at that moment—Ma Hongjun's second, third, and fourth spirit rings all lit up simultaneously.
"Already a sitting duck, yet still so arrogant!" he sneered, soaring into the air.
Sensing danger, the spider struggled desperately, trying to break free from the Blue Silver Grass. Though the vines weren't strong individually, their sheer numbers made escape impossible.
Then—the ground split open.
Flames erupted skyward!
"Fourth Souk Skill: Phoenix Roar Air Strike!"
True to Tang San's words, the Pit Demon Spider's greatest weakness was fire.
In seconds, its carapace turned scorching red, the once-hardened shell now softened and brittle.
"Perfect! Brother Dai, hit it again!" Tang San's eyes gleamed.
"Got it!" Dai Mubai reared back, his mouth glowing with white energy.
"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"
BOOM!
The blast struck the spider's weakened shell, shattering it on impact!
At the same moment, Tang San's right hand glowed blue. As the light faded, a spiderweb descended—not to trap, but to smother the flames.
"Zhuqing, now!"
Like a shadow, Zhu Zhuqing appeared above the Pit Demon Spider.
Her third and fourth spirit rings ignited.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Nether Shadow Doppelganger!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Hell Decapitation!"
Dozens of afterimages mirrored her movements, all striking the spider's cracked carapace at once.
Then, Zhu Zhuqing herself struck—twin blades of light slashing down!
"Hah!"
"Thud!"
The spider's head split open. Its eight legs collapsed, lifeless.
"Brother Tang San, hurry!" Ning Rongrong urged.
But Tang San's instincts screamed danger.
A second later, his fears were confirmed.
"Xiao Wu, LOOK OUT!"**
He didn't hesitate—he lunged to push her aside.
No one had expected it.
While they were focused on the Pit Demon Spider, a Man-Faced Demon Spider had burrowed up from beneath them—targeting Xiao Wu!
By the time anyone realized, it was too late to intervene.
"BOOM!"
A black figure dropped from above, stomping the Man-Faced Demon Spider's head into the dirt!
But Xiao Tianyang's rescue seemed a second too late—Xiao Wu had already been sent flying.
"XIAO WU!" Tang San's face twisted with rage.
He didn't care if the spider was dead.
Mid-air, the Eight Spider Lances on his back shot out, stabbing into the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body with brutal force!
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, she's—" Ma Hongjun startled.
"He doesn't need to know that right now," Edward (Xiao Tianyang) cut in coolly. Stepping off the spider's corpse, he added, "This is his chance."
Then, he vanished into the mist.
His words held truth.
Though the attack had seemed fatal, the Yearning Heartbroken Red had shielded Xiao Wu. Despite being sent flying and paling from shock, she was unharmed.
As for Tang San's current state?
Just as Xiao Tianyang said—it was his opportunity.
"What's wrong with Xiao San?" Liu Erlong cradled Xiao Wu, her eyes soft with concern.
But when she looked up at Tang San, her brow furrowed.
His condition wasn't right.
His eyes burned crimson, his body trembled, and his aura radiated pure, bloodthirsty fury.
