The other spider demon recovered from the mental shock and immediately began to frantically swing its forelimbs, lunging towards Gui Taxi, bringing with it a strong, foul stench.
"Don't even think about it!"
Ling Chong shouted loudly, his spiritual energy surged wildly, and the Buddhist light became even more dazzling. A huge golden Dharma image instantly appeared behind him.
The Dharma image was several meters tall, like the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings in a temple, with a ferocious and terrifying face. It stood in front of the spider demon and threw a simple yet powerful punch.
The spider demon had a huge body, but its movements were exceptionally agile. Its eight legs moved quickly, dodging attacks while swinging its thick, hairy legs to thrust fiercely at the golden body of the deity.
"Well done!"
Ling Chong manipulated his golden body to dodge to the side, while simultaneously extending his golden palm to grab the spider demon's leg that was thrusting at him, and forcefully swung it away.
The spider demon's massive body was flung away and crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. But it didn't care. It quickly got up, its eyes flashing even more fiercely. With a squeeze of its abdomen, it sprayed out a stream of dark green venom.
The venom, like a raging torrent, sprayed out at an extremely fast speed, carrying a pungent odor. Wherever it passed, the ground was instantly corroded, pits were created, and stones were melted, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
Seeing this, Ling Chong chuckled and controlled his golden avatar to charge forward. The venom sprayed onto the avatar only caused ripples of spiritual energy, without causing any real damage.
The golden body is essentially composed of spiritual energy and does not have a physical body, so there is no such thing as poisoning.
Seizing the opportunity, the golden-bodied Dharma form swung a punch at the face of the spider demon's human body, twisting and deforming its beautiful features. Then, it reached out and grabbed the other's hair, forcibly pulling it to prevent it from escaping. Then, it raised its arm and unleashed a barrage of wild punches, beating the other until it screamed in agony and its juices flew everywhere.
There's no skill involved, just pure venting of power, even rougher than Ultraman fighting monsters, looking more like an abusive man battling a vicious shrew.
Tang Ping watched with a furrowed brow, unsure whether it was because the Golden Body Dharma Form was difficult to manipulate and thus required this method of combat, or whether Ling Chong had discovered through experience that this simple and unadorned fighting style was the most effective.
At the same time, Gui Taxi summoned a talisman, cast a spell, and chanted an incantation, which transformed into a series of thunderbolts that exploded on the spider demon, forcibly interrupting its counterattack and severing its two legs in the process.
Tang Ping could tell at a glance that Ling Chong and Gui Taxi had already developed a tacit understanding. One was engaged in close combat, while the other provided ranged attacks. It was not difficult for them to deal with a spider demon together.
So he said, "You guys focus on dealing with this one, and I'll keep the other one occupied."
As they were talking, the other spider demon had recovered. It lifted its rear end and sprayed out a green spider web that covered the group.
Having learned from their previous encounter, Tang Ping didn't hesitate. He unleashed a golden finger strike that shattered the spider web. Then, he channeled his spiritual energy and flashed towards the spider demon like lightning, unleashing several more finger strikes along the way.
The spider demon, relying on its sturdy carapace, withstood the finger strikes, then swung its thick forelimbs, creating a foul gust of wind, in an attempt to repel its opponent.
Tang Ping was fearless, using the Bagua Walking Step, her movements agile and rhythmic, weaving nimbly through the gaps in the spider demon's attacks, her ghostly figure making her difficult for her opponents to predict.
He seized the opportunity to strike repeatedly, targeting vulnerable points such as joints. However, perhaps due to the nature of the monster, it did not need to adhere to the physiological structure of arthropods. Even its joints remained sturdy enough, rendering his attacks ineffective.
This was the first time Tang Ping had faced a large, non-human creature. All the martial arts techniques he had used against humans were now difficult to apply, and his opponent's attacks did not follow human habits, making him quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he had an intuition that was almost precognitive. Even if all his past combat experience was rendered useless, ensuring his own safety was not difficult. Furthermore, during the fight, he constantly adjusted his power techniques, making them more suitable for dealing with large monsters. His combat performance improved every moment.
Just as Tang Ping decided to use penetrating force to break through his opponent's armor, he suddenly felt unwell, his throat itched, and he felt a little dizzy.
I have been poisoned?
It's Venom!
Tang Ping instantly realized the key point: the venom sprayed by the spider demon had evaporated into poison gas, and because they were in an open environment, the effects were not so easy to see.
Ling Chong and Gui Taxi were far enough away that they were not greatly affected, while Ling Chong was engaged in close combat, which was also intense exercise and accelerated his breathing and circulation.
As she was pondering, a foul stench swept over her, making it difficult for Tang Ping to move or react. Fortunately, her spiritual power was unaffected, and she immediately raised her hand to catalyze a Tai Chi diagram in front of her, transforming nothingness into something and dissipating most of the impact.
"careful!"
Behind him came Xiang Yun's anxious cry. Tang Ping flew away like a kite with a broken string, but he only looked dangerous; in reality, he was not seriously injured.
As a novice monk, detoxification was his forte. Tang Pingren activated his spiritual energy "Miraculous Dew" in mid-air to enhance the detoxification effect and cast a healing spell on himself. By the time he landed, he had recovered completely. He immediately shot out a series of finger energies to block the spider silk shot by his opponent.
Xiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang Ping was out of danger.
Due to her unique spiritual characteristics and some gender advantages, she always plays the role of support and healer in the team and rarely confronts the enemy head-on, but this does not mean that she is just a pretty face.
After a moment's thought, Xiang Yun found the reason for Tang Ping's sudden abnormal behavior and immediately activated her spiritual energy to communicate with him mentally.
—Leave the poison to me, and I'll handle those little spiders too. You just focus on the battle.
Tang Ping received the message in her mind, paused for a moment, and then gave a brief response.
--it is good!
Chapter 180 The Thought of Creating a New Technique
Xiang Yun's eyes sharpened, and she circulated her spiritual power. The beautiful figure of Lady Xiang appeared behind her, and a soft white light emanated from her palm, within which runes flickered faintly.
As she flicked her hands forward, the light spread outwards like a clear spring, quickly purifying the poisonous gas and liquid wherever it reached.
Afterwards, Xiang Yun waved her hands, summoning countless flower petals to scatter towards the little spiders in a gesture reminiscent of a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
These petals may seem harmless, but they actually contain the power of ice. Once they touch a small spider, they will freeze it into a block of ice.
At the same time, with no more worries, Tang Ping seized the opportunity, leaped up suddenly, and raised his palm to gather his energy to attack the spider demon's human form.
But just before the attack, his intuition warned him of the great danger, so he immediately withdrew his attack, somersaulted over the person, and landed on the opponent's back.
Then his hands moved rapidly, golden light emanating from his fingertips, shooting out a series of finger strikes that hit the spider demon's carapace, producing a dull sound.
"Tsk, why do spiders have exoskeletons? Don't you know anything about biology, you spider demon?"
The spider demon, of course, disdained to explain and frantically shook her body, trying to shake the soup screen off.
However, the lower body is the foundation of traditional martial arts. Tang Ping was not so easily thrown off. By listening to the force of the spider demon's movements with the soles of his feet, he transformed the force of the spider demon's swaying into a boost to stabilize his body, and was firmly nailed to the ground like a nail.
He constantly changed his attack positions, sometimes using the Brahma Wheel to break the boundary and point it at the spider demon's eyes, and sometimes combining it with Tai Chi to borrow the opponent's force and take advantage of the opponent's attack to reflect the force back at a clever angle and strike its joints, interfering with its movements as much as possible, not seeking victory, but only to buy more time for his teammates.
Tang Ping had considered attacking the spider demon in her human form, but whenever the thought arose, he would sense danger and had to forcibly stop himself.
—Don't attack a woman's upper body, that's a trap!
Xiang Yun sent a reminder, confirming that his intuition was correct.
--what happened?
—Ling Chong had just destroyed the upper body of the spider demon, which resulted in a large amount of spider webs and venom being sprayed out on the spot. Fortunately, he kept his distance and used his Dharma form to block it, so he was not affected.
Tang Pingxin suddenly realized why the other person's upper body was completely naked and unprotected; it turned out to be a bomb designed to lure others into attacking.
When a normal person sees the spider demon's body structure, they will naturally focus their attack on the upper body, since the difference in defensive strength between the upper and lower parts is huge. They will also subconsciously think that the human head is the spider demon's head. But once they do this, they will fall into a trap.
If you're far away, it's fine, but if you're close, there's no way to avoid it.
During their conversation, the spider demon, annoyed by the constant harassment, split open a gash in her enormous abdomen and sprayed out venom.
Helpless, Tang Ping could only leap away. On the way, he glanced back and saw Ling Chong's golden body sitting directly on the spider demon's back, pressing the demon down and beating it mercilessly.
The spider demon's human form had vanished, leaving only a pool of thick liquid, while its golden body was covered in thick spider webs and dripping with viscous venom.
Gui Taxi was using her fire magic to burn away all the spider webs on the Dharma Image's body.
The spider demon screamed in agony, utterly powerless to fight back. Half of its eight legs were torn off, leaving it unable to even stand.
No martial arts skills are needed; physique is the strongest weapon.
"I can't learn this myself," Tang Ping sighed. Just as she was about to continue stalling for time, Xiang Yun's voice came to her mind.
—How else can I help?
Tang Ping thought for a moment and replied immediately.
—Could you get me a knife, or a knife-shaped weapon?
Upon receiving the reply, Xiang Yun pressed her hands into the water on the ground, channeling her spiritual power. The water element in her palms rapidly condensed and compressed, and in the blink of an eye, a crystal-clear ice blade took shape in her hand, radiating a chilling aura. The blade was incredibly sharp and shimmered with a ghostly blue light.
—Catch!
Xiang Yun seized the opportunity and threw the ice blade at Tang Ping. Then she used her magic to release a large amount of cold air, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by about ten degrees.
Tang Ping understood immediately and caught the ice blade steadily with his backhand. At this moment, the spider demon swung its forelimbs to attack again. He intentionally tested the hardness of the ice blade, dodging the attack while swinging his blade to block the attack.
With a loud clang, Tang Ping was thrown back several steps. He glanced at the ice blade and noticed a crack in the blade, but it healed instantly by absorbing the nearby cold air.
"interesting."
At this moment, the spider demon sprayed out a large amount of spider silk, trying to entangle Tang Ping. The spider silk was extremely flexible and sticky, and it would not be cut even if it touched a sharp iron object.
—No need to dodge, the ice blades are chilling.
Tang Ping originally planned to retreat and dodge, but after hearing Xiang Yun's reminder, he decided to take a gamble. He quickly swung his ice blade, creating a silver light screen to protect his body.
The spider silk that touched the ice blades stiffened, lost its flexibility, and was completely shredded, turning into broken threads that fluttered down.
The spider demon used the same three tricks again. When the spider silk proved ineffective, it sprayed out a stream of dark green venom.
Tang Ping had already figured out the wonderful use of this ice blade. Without rushing, she channeled her spiritual power into the ice blade, stimulating the surrounding cold air to condense on the blade. Then she swung the ice blade so skillfully that water could not penetrate it.
The venom struck the ice blade and instantly froze, turning into fine ice shards. Tang Ping used the momentum to spin around and flung the blade towards the spider demon's human form.
Bang!
After the spider demon's body was pierced by ice shards, it exploded on the spot, and countless spider silk and venom flew in all directions.
If caught off guard by such an attack, even Tang Ping wouldn't be able to guarantee his safety. However, he had anticipated this and secretly gathered his strength. Immediately, his blade followed his movements, spinning rapidly as if a whirlwind were swirling around him.
"Compassionate Body, Thunderous Awakening!"
This strike is said to be able to intercept even lightning, which is an exaggeration, but it does prove its power.
Tang Ping used his sword to protect himself and quickly approached, gathering power in his left palm, a faint golden light emanating from it. Once close enough, he slammed his sword down on the spider demon's carapace.
This palm strike, seemingly ordinary, actually contained penetrating power. The force of the palm was like an invisible sharp cone, penetrating the spider demon's hard shell and penetrating deep into its body.
The spider demon let out a shrill scream, its massive body swayed a few times, and its eight legs scrambled to the side, only managing to stay upright by leaning against the mountainside.
Despite succeeding in one move, Tang Ping was not satisfied with the result. He was amazed at how strong the monster's vitality was. Even though he was confident that his palm strike was enough to kill an elephant, he couldn't seriously injure the monster.
The penetrating force requires extremely high control over the force and needs to be adjusted at all times. This prevents Tang Ping from unleashing his full power and from achieving a burst of power by embracing the dantian and sitting on the hips.
You should know that the spider demon in front of you is only of medium size among monsters; there are many monsters that are much larger than it.
"In the future, we will inevitably have to face these large, thick-skinned monsters, so we must create stronger, more targeted moves."
Tang Ping made a decision not to press her advantage and launch a fierce attack, because Ling Chong had already eliminated his opponent and was now controlling his golden body to rush towards them.
The battle is over.
Chapter 181 A Tremendous Opportunity
Although Tang Ping's judgment had a somewhat symbolic feel to it, there was no subsequent reversal.
Ling Chong's golden body leaped into the air, catching the spider demon and pinning her down. He then used his legs to trap her and unleashed a flurry of powerful blows with his arms.
Tang Ping had to go to great lengths to barely injure the spider demon, and had to be on guard against falling into her traps. Meanwhile, the golden-bodied Dharma form unleashed a furious beating, completely disregarding whether the spider demon retaliated, and forcibly beat it to death.
"That's the nature of combat compatibility. I lack the means to deal with large, heavily armored monsters," Tang Ping sighed.
In truth, the spider demon was neither large nor heavily armored, yet it still left him with no way to attack.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Seeing that Tang Ping was standing still, Xiang Yun hurried over and asked her with concern.
"I am fine."
Despite Tang Ping's words, Xiang Yun still cast a healing spell.
Ling Chong, who had come over, saw this and complained, "Hey, hey, hey, these are also combat personnel. Xiang Yun, you can't be biased."
Xiang Yun glanced at it and explained, "Tang Ping fought the spider demon in close combat, while you fought from the rear controlling your Dharma form. You didn't encounter any danger at all, so you don't need any treatment."
Ling Chong said, "I protest! This is discriminatory treatment."
Gui Taxi adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, which had become askew during the battle, and said, "Tang Ping just saved Xiang Yun, so it's only natural to show some favoritism."
"The director is indeed reasonable."
"What do you mean by being reasonable? I think you're just lustful. When we fought side by side before, I saved you before, but I've never seen you show me the same concern."
Xiang Yun said indifferently, "Your memory is wrong."
Ling Chong was about to argue further when Gui Taxi stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, what's the point of forcing someone to admit it? Do you really want to humiliate yourself?"
Ling Chong was taken aback. After understanding what was said, he said indignantly, "Why? I don't think I'm any less attractive than Tang Ping."
Gui Taxi said slantedly, "Maybe it's because you're bald?"
"Being bald doesn't mean being devastated! Besides, being bald can be very charming, okay? Even the Queen of the Women's Kingdom herself has certified it!"
"In the Kingdom of Women, you rarely see any men, and in the pilgrimage team, only Tang Sanzang looks like a human."
