Boom!
Eight ferocious spider legs slammed heavily onto the ground, instantly cracking the hard rock.
A giant spider, as large as a calf, slowly crawled out of the deep cave. Its entire body was covered with a purplish-black carapace, covered with pale patterns resembling distorted human faces. Its eight scarlet compound eyes were fixed intently on Lin Yu.
Nine thousand years, the Spider of the Underworld.
The violent aura, a mixture of deadly poison and death, almost froze the air.
"hiss--!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Nether Spider opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out an invisible shriek.
A mental shock!
Lin Yu felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and his soul trembled.
Good guy!
Starting with a big attack?
He endured the stinging pain in his soul, channeled his soul power, and gripped the Soul-Slaying Blade, which was formed from condensed gray mist, even tighter.
The aura of annihilation emanating from the blade barely offset some of the mental impact.
But that's not enough!
This beast's mental strength far exceeded his expectations.
Seeing this from afar, Dugu Bo frowned, his soul power stirred slightly, and he was ready to make a move at any moment.
This kid is really brave, but the gap between his strength and that of a soul beast cannot be bridged by courage alone.
Dugu Yan covered her mouth in nervousness, her heart pounding in her throat.
Lin Yu was naturally aware of this as well.
A head-on confrontation is something only a fool would do.
He grinned, his face showing no fear, but rather excitement.
"If you can't beat them alone, call for help."
He made a hand seal with his left hand and muttered incantations. His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in the deathly silent forest.
"Ten miles of red bridal procession, welcoming the soul into the sedan chair."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom image of the Gates of Hell reappeared behind him.
But this time, behind the opened door, there was no eerie wind, no ghostly messengers, but a simple and beautiful mahogany sedan chair, carried by four paper figures, floated out silently.
The sedan curtain swayed slightly, and a pale, slender hand with black fingernails gently lifted it.
A figure dressed in a tattered red wedding gown slowly walked out.
She wore a phoenix crown and a red veil, obscuring her face, but the deep-seated resentment and chill caused the temperature in the entire valley to drop several degrees.
The Ghost Bride!
Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan were once again dumbfounded.
What is this?
Just how many strange and unusual things are hidden in this kid's martial spirit?
First there were sixteen ghost messengers, and now they've brought out a bride?
Dugu Yan's pair of green eyes widened, and her small mouth was slightly open.
This bride in red—so beautiful, yet so terrifying.
But for some reason, seeing her standing quietly behind Lin Yu, Dugu Yan felt a strange sense of crisis.
On the battlefield, the Netherweave Spider clearly sensed the threat posed by the Ghost Bride, and the ferocity in its eight scarlet compound eyes intensified.
The ghost bride ignored it, merely tilting her head slightly, her face beneath the veil seemingly "looking" at Lin Yu, as if awaiting a command.
"Go, take him down." Lin Yu pointed his Soul-Slaying Blade at the Netherworld Spider in front of him and gave the order.
The ghost bride nodded slightly.
The next second, she moved.
It lacked the ghostly aura of the Nine Steps to the Underworld, but possessed an eerie elegance, its form swaying as it floated several meters away.
"Waaah—"
—
A heart-wrenching cry came from beneath the red veil.
Crying in resentment!
The cry seemed to possess a magical power, striking straight to the soul.
The violent mental attack of the Nether Spider was actually disrupted and dispersed by this cry.
It let out an angry hiss, its eight spider legs flailing wildly, trying to tear apart whatever dared to provoke it.
However, the ghost bride's attacks followed one after another.
Two blood-red ribbons shot out like venomous snakes from the wide sleeves of her wedding gown.
Bound by red silk!
The Nether Spider reacted extremely quickly, its two forelimbs slashing towards the Red Silk like sharp blades.
But the seemingly soft red ribbon was incredibly tough, instantly wrapping around its two forelimbs and tightening its grip.
On the red silk, blurry "囍" (double happiness) marks appeared and disappeared, greedily eroding the soul power and vitality of the Netherworld Spider.
"Hiss!"
The Nether Spider was completely enraged. With its remaining six legs exerting tremendous force, its massive body rammed into the Ghost Bride with immense power.
Just then, Lin Yu, who hadn't moved at all, also moved.
Nine Steps to the Underworld: Ferrying the Soul.
His figure left an afterimage in place, and he silently appeared on the side of the Netherworld Spider. The Soul-Slaying Blade in his hand drew a tricky arc and cleaved straight at the Netherworld Spider's head.
Sensing danger, the Nether Spider twisted its body and spat out a stream of purplish-black venom.
Wherever the venom passed, even the air hissed and corroded.
Lin Yu's pupils contracted, and he changed his footwork again, narrowly avoiding the venom.
The venom landed on the ground, instantly corroding a large pit and billowing black smoke.
That's a potent poison!
Lin Yu was secretly alarmed; if even a tiny bit of this got on him, his bones would probably melt away.
Dugu Bo, watching from afar, took in all of this, but his brows furrowed even more deeply.
This kid's movement technique is indeed unpredictable, but his combat skills are far too crude.
The timing and angle of that strike were perfect, but he overlooked the soul beast's instinctive counterattack.
If he hadn't been fast enough, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed, just now.
Looking at the ghost bride again, in the instant Lin Yu dodged, she not only did not retreat, but instead pressed forward, her pale hands with black nails growing three inches long, fiercely gripping the carapace of the Nether Spider.
Stab it!
A tooth-grinding sound rang out, and several deep scratches were found on the hard shell.
Even more bizarrely, instead of bleeding from the wound, several blood-red "囍" characters appeared, and wisps of black energy were drawn out of the wound.
The Netherweave Spider let out a painful hiss; the excruciating pain on a spiritual level was far more unbearable for it than the physical injury.
It struggled frantically, but was tightly bound by the red ribbon.
The ghost bride's attacks, Lin Yu's harassment, and the sixteen ghost messengers who appeared out of the shadows at some unknown time, constantly hitting the spider's legs with their soul-snatching ropes.
A powerful soul beast with nine thousand years of history was completely overwhelmed by this bizarre "gang attack" tactic.
Dugu Yan was captivated by the sight, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement.
So cool!
Brother Lin Yu is amazing!
One person, no, with his "army", actually overwhelmed a nine-thousand-year-old soul beast!
However, Dugu Bo was thinking about something completely different.
The more he looked at the ghost bride, the more uneasy he felt.
Although those ghost messengers had a cold and sinister aura, they were essentially inanimate objects made of soul power, products of soul skills.
But this ghost bride—something's not right!
Every attack and every movement she made was full of artistry.
She wasn't mechanically following orders; she was fighting!
She can anticipate and support, and even step in to cover for Lin Yu when he makes a mistake.
That feeling didn't seem like a summoned creature with a soul skill at all.
It's more like a living being with independent consciousness and extremely rich combat experience.
A true vengeful ghost sealed within a martial spirit.
Does this kid even know what he summoned?
Is associating with such a thing a blessing or a curse?
A chill ran through Dugu Bo, and he decided that he had to have a serious talk with this kid after the battle was over.
On the battlefield, the battle has reached a fever pitch.
Under the frenzied attack of the ghost bride and the ghost messengers, the number of "囍" (double happiness) marks on the Netherworld Spider increased, and its aura weakened.
Lin Yu seized the opportunity and pounced on him again.
Thirteen Beats of the Ghost Gate!
His palms flew, creating layers of gray palm shadows, not to harm the enemy, but only to disrupt them.
"Pull out the tongue!"
"Scissors!"
"Iron tree!"
Three consecutive palm strikes landed firmly on the head of the Nether Spider.
The palm strike did not harm the body, but it caused the Nether Spider's soul to tremble violently. Its massive body stiffened abruptly, and its eight scarlet compound eyes momentarily lost focus.
It's now!
As if in sync with Lin Yu's thoughts, the red ribbon wrapped around the spider's legs suddenly tightened, locking him completely in place.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and poured all his soul power into the Soul-Slaying Blade in his right hand.
The gray blade shone brightly, emanating an aura of annihilation that made even Dugu Bo, standing in the distance, tremble.
Lin Yu's figure accelerated instantly, leaving a gray trail behind him. He leaped high into the air, holding his sword in both hands, and slashed down fiercely at the huge head of the Nether Spider!
