Swish!

Wang Chong silently made his way to the entrance of the cavern.

Good—it didn't seal the cave! Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

The cavern was still pervaded by the dark green poison mist that obscured vision. However, with his Psychic Energy, Wang Chong could clearly make out that after pushing back Wang Chong and Young Master Qingyang, the spider had returned to the base of the ancient tree where it continued to tie up its prey.

Its front legs grabbed its prey as it began to make its way up to a tree branch along the white threads.

It seems that this beast can control the toughness and sharpness of its threads at will. Otherwise, the sharpness of those threads would have cut its prey into pieces long ago, Wang Chong noted.

After thinking for a few moments, Wang Chong had an idea.

Buzz!

He lunged forward into the dark green mist, toward the Darkshadow Spider within.

As he advanced, he performed many calculations that allowed him to narrowly avoid the sharp and poisoned threads around him. In just a few moments, he was within one hundred feet of the spider.

Hisss!

The massive spider immediately raised its head and let out a warning hiss. At the same time, it opened its mandibles and unleashed numerous thin threads at Wang Chong that covered every possible angle of attack.

Wang Chong reacted quickly, swiftly dodging these ten-some threads and attempting to attack the Darkshadow Spider from another angle.

But after getting just five or six meters, boom! Ten-some sharp threads pierced through his chest.

Yet there was no gush of blood. After being pierced by the threads, Wang Chong's body vanished in a puff of smoke, a mere illusion.

Alarm bells began to go off in the spider's head, and it anxiously hissed. Although it was not very intelligent, it knew that the human it had attacked just now was not real.

Swish! As the first Wang Chong was pierced through by threads, an identical Wang Chong came rushing out from another direction, sword in hand and a chill in his eyes.

The Darkshadow Spider was clearly concerned, because it could not differentiate this human before it from the real one, could not tell if it was a fake as well.

Swish!

The Darkshadow Spider stretched its body, and soon more than seventy threads were whistling their way toward the second Wang Chong.

Fwoosh!

This large-scale attack succeeded, as the second Wang Chong wasn't able to get very far before the threads honeycombed him with holes.

”An excellent chance!”

At this moment, a delighted Wang Chong attacked the Darkshadow Spider from behind.

The cloning art allowed Wang Chong to divide himself into three, and these clones could be used to distract his enemy while also concealing the aura of the actual body. This was one of Wang Chong's time-tested moves.

Wang Chong had used the same move to trick the men in black during their attack on the Righteous Alliance, and he had also used it to deceive the Dragonbeasts.

Hissss!

The Darkshadow Spider felt an immense threat, its sixteen pairs of eyes showing a hint of panic. As its mouth issued warning hisses, it began to twist its massive body in an attempt to face Wang Chong.

As it was turning, poison threads shot out from its back toward Wang Chong. However, after spitting out so many threads the first two times, the spider could not spit as many out this third time.

Even so, the poison threads of the Darkshadow Spider were just as sharp and unstoppable as ever.

Clang! A moment later, Wang Chong began to swing a small dagger through the air. Dingdingding! This dagger swiftly struck at those terrifying threads.

Those sharp threads which could cut through steel had finally met their match.

In this chorus of clangs, all the threads that had been shot toward Wang Chong were blocked and fell to the ground.

The Wootz Steel dagger!

The weapon that Wang Chong used with such skill and precision was none other than the Wootz Steel dagger he carried with him.

Wootz Steel was considered the most valuable, rare, and excellent material for forging weapons. During the forging process, it would produce flowing magical patterns, and it could easily cut through metal. Its sharpness was unsurpassed in the world.

Only Wootz Steel weapons were capable of contending against the poison threads of the Darkshadow Spider.

Bang!
