Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

Su Xiao kept moving around, using fireball and ice spike talismans to harass the tarantula's head and eyes. Although he couldn't cause fatal injuries, he successfully attracted most of the tarantula's attention, making it extremely agitated. It roared continuously, spraying venomous saliva everywhere, causing the ground to sizzle as it corroded.

The man and the beast, one close and one at a distance, worked together seamlessly and managed to temporarily entangle this terrifying monster! But Su Xiao and Shi Tie both knew that this was their limit! The wolf spider's defense was too strong; their attacks could only barely break through its defenses. If this continued, their spiritual energy would be exhausted, and defeat would be inevitable!

"Damn it! This beast's belly is too tightly guarded!" Shi Tie tried to get closer several times, but was forced back by the wolf spider's frantically waving legs and venom. He was in grave danger, and had several abrasions on his body, and his breathing was becoming erratic.

Su Xiao was also drenched in sweat, her spiritual energy greatly depleted, and she had very few attack talismans left. She anxiously looked towards the City Lord's Mansion; why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?!

At this critical moment—

"What kind of monster dares to run rampant in Black Mountain City! Form the array! Trapped!"

A sharp shout came from afar! Several streaks of light rushed in, led by the enforcement captain! The city lord's reinforcements had finally arrived!

Almost simultaneously, the sound of something breaking through the air came from another direction! The Zhao family's reinforcements, led by Elder Zhao Li, had also arrived!

Upon seeing the reinforcements, Su Xiao and Shi Tie were greatly encouraged!

However, the tarantula seemed to be driven completely mad by the sudden appearance of more "prey"! It suddenly stood upright, its abdomen contracted sharply, and then suddenly swelled up!

"puff--!"

A vast expanse of dark green, foul-smelling venom sprayed indiscriminately in all directions like a torrential downpour! Its coverage area was extremely wide!

"Watch out for the venom!" Shi Tie and Su Xiao shouted at the same time, retreating rapidly.

The city lord's mansion and Zhao family reinforcements did not expect that this monster had such a terrifying ranged attack. They were immediately thrown into chaos and their formation was thrown into disarray. Two law enforcement officers who could not dodge in time were touched by the venom and immediately let out a miserable scream!

Su Xiao and Shi Tie, being the closest, were the first to be hit! A dense barrage of venom rained down upon them!

"Junior Sister Su!" Shi Tie's eyes were bloodshot. Ignoring his own safety, he suddenly pulled Su Xiao behind him and frantically poured the little spiritual power he had left into the heavy iron staff, wielding it into a dense, impenetrable shadow to try and block the poison!

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The venom splattered onto the staff shadow and the protective aura, producing a violent corrosive sound! Shi Tie groaned repeatedly, the staff shadow rapidly dimmed, and the protective aura teetered on the brink of collapse! He was on the verge of giving way!

At this critical moment of life and death, a resolute glint flashed in Su Xiao's eyes! She suddenly activated the last three "Explosive Flame Talismans" on her body, but instead of shooting them at the wolf spider, she shot them at the ground not far in front of herself and Shi Tie!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The violent explosion created a huge shockwave and flames in front of her, temporarily blocking most of the venom! But at the same time, the force of the explosion also sent her and Shi Tie flying!

"Pfft!" Shi Tie spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground. Su Xiao's blood was also churning, and his vision went black.

The tarantula was also slightly stunned by the sudden explosion.

It's now!

Su Xiaoqiang mustered her last bit of spiritual power and locked her gaze on the tarantula that had slightly lifted due to the explosion, revealing its relatively soft abdomen! The "Golden Sword Talisman" she held in her hand, which she had obtained from Shen Mo and contained a trace of pure Yang power, was shot out with all her might towards the slightly wriggling ganglion area in the center of the tarantula's abdomen!

"call out--!"

A golden light flashed like lightning and disappeared in an instant!

"Pfft!"

The golden sword talisman pierced the wolf spider's abdomen with pinpoint accuracy! Pure Yang power erupted instantly!

"Awooo—!!!"

The tarantula let out its most piercing and agonizing scream since the start of the war! Its massive body convulsed and writhed violently, its eight long legs flailing wildly, turning the surrounding ruins upside down!

Its abdomen charred and shrank at a visible speed, and foul-smelling blood and fragments of internal organs gushed out from the wound!

It worked!

However, the dying beasts are the most terrifying! The wolf spider used its last strength, its scarlet compound eyes fixed on the exhausted Su Xiao and Shi Tie, and charged forward with an aura of annihilation!

"not good!"

"Get out of the way!"

The city lord's mansion and Zhao family experts, who had just regained their footing, cried out in alarm, but it was too late to come to their rescue!

Shi Tie struggled to stand up, but his injuries and exhaustion prevented him from moving. Su Xiao watched the approaching shadow of death, a flicker of despair and resentment in her eyes.

At this very last moment—

"You beast! Stop hurting people!"

A roar like thunder exploded! A powerful blade of light, arriving before the spider, struck its massive head like a blood-red ribbon! It was Elder Zhao Li who had made his move!

At the same time, several beams of light shot out from the direction of the enforcement team and struck the tarantula!

"boom!"

The already severely injured tarantula, under the combined attack of several late-stage Qi Refining experts, finally let out a mournful cry of despair. Its massive body crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lay still.

The battlefield fell silent instantly. Only the crackling of the flames and the heavy breathing of the soldiers remained.

Everyone stared at the enormous tarantula corpse with lingering fear, then looked at Su Xiao and Shi Tie, who were supporting each other and barely managing to stand up not far away. Their eyes were filled with shock, admiration, and a hint of lingering fear.

These two young people actually...joined forces and severely injured this terrifying monster that was close to the second tier?!

Su Xiao and Shi Tie exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes the relief of surviving a close call, and a deep bond forged from sharing a life-or-death experience. They had done it! Through their own strength and teamwork, they had fought their way out of a desperate situation!

The commotion in Black Mountain City gradually subsided as the Li family was destroyed, the City Lord's Mansion and the Zhao family joined forces to reorganize the city, and the terrifying night of the tarantulas faded into the distance.

The ruins in the west of the city began to be cleared, the damaged warehouses were repaired, and the streets returned to their former bustling state. However, a trace of blood and smoke still seemed to linger in the air, a chilling atmosphere reminding people of the crisis that had nearly overthrown the city not long ago.

The five-person team from Qingyun Sect played a crucial role in this matter and has become the focus of attention for all forces in Black Mountain City.

In particular, Shi Tie's fierce confrontation with the wolf spider, Su Xiao's composure and precise strike under pressure, and the mysterious "master" method of immobilizing the wolf spider at the end (attributed to the hidden protector of the Qingyun Sect) have given the name "Qingyun Sect" considerable prestige among the lower-level rogue cultivators and even some small families in Black Mountain City.

City Lord Zhao Yuanming and his family were extremely grateful. They not only fulfilled the generous reward but also treated Qingyun Sect as honored guests, greatly improving their treatment and status.

The simple room in Yuelai Inn has now been replaced by a private courtyard in "Xiankelai," the best inn in the city. However, Su Xiao and his companions did not indulge in this unexpected hospitality; they knew that their purpose for this trip was far from over.

Making a name for oneself is only the first step; the fundamental goal is to acquire tangible resources for the sect and understand the power dynamics of the surrounding forces.
