The location of the purple-black web was extremely hidden, completely in Luo Yu's blind spot.
It descended rapidly and directly overhead.
Luo Yu felt a sudden surge of abnormal airflow above him.
His eyes narrowed, and he didn't even look up.
He stepped on the ground and darted to the side.
But before he could make two steps, the "whooshing" sound of the air breaking arose.
Eight identical purple-black webs, seemingly prearranged in the dark, blocked all of Luo Yu's escape angles and shot at him from all directions.
Under the meticulous arrangement of the hunter, no matter how fast Luo Yu reacted, he couldn't avoid it, and he was directly caught in the net.
The prey was ensnared in the web.
An ear-piercing and strange hiss rang throughout the jungle, similar to the sound of leather being rubbed.
Luo Yu turned his gaze and looked intently.
His expression did not show panic.
For the intense purple toxicity contained in the spider web had no effect on him.
"Rustle!"
Amidst the dense tree canopy, the leaves shook, and a gigantic monstrous spider suddenly burst out.
The spider's main body was almost two meters long, with eight spider legs like spears extending over three meters, their tips gleaming with a sharp cold light. Its body was covered with a black shell, shiny and smooth.
Most eerie was the spider's abdomen, where white patterns formed the figure of a sinister and ugly human face, with eight small eyes flickering with a dim purple light closely attached to it.
The monstrous spider had multiple damaged spots on its shell, oozing purple-black blood.
It moved its sharp legs rhythmically, approaching the prey in the web step by step, its small eyes gleaming with a cruel and excited light, seemingly very satisfied with its own masterpiece.
Not long ago, it had been injured by a detestable old man and urgently needed to devour weak soul masters to replenish its body. And now, prey had come to its door so soon, it was naturally ecstatic.
The human before it emitted a faint scent of flesh, seemingly delicious.
It couldn't wait to devour this young and weak human soul master.
"Shush!!"
The eight bloodthirsty small eyes flashed, and the deadly poisoned spider lances were instantly raised, aiming directly at the prey's throat, ready to indulge in a sumptuous meal for the day.
Then the next second, the monstrous spider was stunned.
Its infallible spider lances, which had pierced the throats of prey time and again, were this time blocked.
Blocked by the young soul master trapped in the web, who had gripped them in his hand.
The spider's eyes widened in shock.
Its web was saturated with deadly poison, which should have paralyzed the human completely. How could he still have the strength to resist?
The spider tried to pull back its lances with all its might, but found them firmly grasped by the young soul master, immobile.
Panic flashed in its small eyes as it let out an ear-piercing cry.
The other spider lances lunged simultaneously, aiming directly at the vital points of the young soul master's body.
The young soul master sneered coldly.
"Idiot, you really dare to provoke anyone."
His free wrist flipped, and with a metallic ring, a sword cry sounded.
The Nine Heavens Execution Sword appeared.
It was ancient and resonant, neither copper nor iron, resembling a stone sword.
Facing the viciously stabbing spider lances, Luo Yu's lips curled disdainfully, and he instantly activated the Gale of Ten Thousand Swords Art.
In an instant, the wind surged.
Countless sword shadows mixed with raging winds, overlapping heavily, as continuous clanging of metal resounded.
The purple-black spider web was instantly slashed into countless fragments.
The gigantic monstrous spider was knocked flying far away by the back of the sword, crashing into an ancient tree, embedded within it.
Wood chips flew, the tree trunk shook, and the leaves rustled frantically.
Luo Yu broke free and stood with his sword.
Looking coldly at the spider.
He recognized this as the Man-Faced Demon Spider and instantly made a connection.
That's why he showed mercy, not slashing the spider lances with his sword, just using the back of the sword to knock it away.
Otherwise, just by the overbearing nature of the Executioner Sword, that single strike just now would have left the Man-Faced Demon Spider in pieces.
Luo Yu stepped closer to the Man-Faced Demon Spider embedded in the tree trunk.
From hunter to prey in an instant, the spider's eight small eyes were filled with terror and astonishment.
It could not understand.
How could a human it had casually captured suddenly become so terrifying.
Under the stress, its body erupted with a strong purple-black light.
Breaking free from the tree, its eight spider lances moved rapidly, desperately trying to flee from the area, away from this terrifying man.
"Run?"
Luo Yu shook his head with a cold laugh and glanced down at the Zhu Tian Sword.
If it really was that Man-Faced Demon Spider, it would be a huge loss to smash it to pieces.
He sheathed the Zhu Tian Sword, and a flash of black and white appeared beneath his feet.
"Boom!"
A loud sound erupted, and a deep hole exploded in the ground.
Luo Yu had already disappeared from the spot.
The desperately fleeing Man-Faced Demon Spider was caught up in an instant. In its frenzied shrieking, it shot out several purple-black spider webs into the air, attempting to block Luo Yu's lightning-fast figure.
Luo Yu didn't dodge or avoid, his legs swirled with white and black airflow respectively.
The purple-black spider webs were instantly shattered by the white and black Qi.
Not causing the slightest obstruction.
"Boom!"
Another loud sound, dust and smoke rose everywhere.
Luo Yu's divine light was radiant, standing on the back of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, which was now embedded in the ground.
Looking down at the unconscious Man-Faced Demon Spider at his feet.
Luo Yu returned to his normal state, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Good fellow, grew eight eyes but still blind as a bat."
"I didn't come looking for you, yet you took the initiative to come to me."
Luo Yu's pair of Creation God Pupils saw clearly that there was an anomaly within the spider's body.
It must be the one he had been speculating about.
He reached out with a large hand, its surface swirling with a crystalline luster, completely fearless of toxins.
He grabbed a spider leg and slung the entire Man-Faced Demon Spider up with ease.
Lightweight, he carried it on his back.
He had only walked two steps when suddenly, a cold and stern roar came from afar.
"Kid, stop right there."
"Put that Man-Faced Demon Spider down."
"Boom!"
A figure rushed over swiftly and arrived in the blink of an eye.
It was a lean old man who looked to be at least in his seventies.
In his hand was a bright silver dragon-headed cane over four meters long.
The head of the staff was a vivid and splendid dragon.
The old man's face was wrinkled with skin piled high, and he had eight Soul Rings pulsing up and down on his body, two yellow, three purple, and three black.
His aura was majestic, demonstrating a Soul Douluo Cultivation Level.
His murky yellow eyes were brimming with ferocity, staring intently at Luo Yu.
"Kid, put it down."
"That Man-Faced Demon Spider belongs to this old man."
With a thud, Luo Yu put down the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The old man's gaze softened slightly.
At least this youngster knew what was good for him and didn't cause any trouble.
However, he was confident that after revealing his Soul Douluo Cultivation, this youngster wouldn't dare steal the soul beast he had been chasing for half a day, no matter how many guts he borrowed.
The old man moved forward, preparing to fully take control of the scene.
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You're saying this Man-Faced Demon Spider is yours?"
"Exactly, can't you see the wounds I've marked on its body?" the old man said, his eyes flashing fiercely.
With his Soul Douluo Cultivation, he naturally wouldn't consider a young kid worth his attention.
This Man-Faced Demon Spider was carefully chosen as the third soul ring for his granddaughter, and he wouldn't let anyone else lay a finger on it.
Luo Yu shook his head and snorted, "Are you joking with me?"
"Just because you've left some wounds, this soul beast is yours? Then if you hit every soul beast in the Star Dou Forest, does that mean the whole Star Dou will be your private garden from now on?"
The old man's eyes widened, and his Soul Douluo aura burst forth in an instant.
"Kid, do you dare to mock me like this?"
In the face of the powerful pressure, Luo Yu showed no fear and locked eyes with the old man's sharp gaze.
The corners of his mouth lifted.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
