Seeing the sharp threads shooting in from all directions, Zu An snorted coldly, and the Phoenix Flame and White Lotus True Fire erupted simultaneously, instantly igniting those extremely sharp threads.
The Heart-Eating Spiders immediately let out a series of panicked cries and desperately tried to back away.
Unfortunately, neither the Phoenix Flame nor the White Lotus True Fire were ordinary things. They burned back along the threads they spat out, so fast that the flames didn't have time to react. They were instantly engulfed by the flames and burned to ashes almost in the blink of an eye.
The largest Heart-Eating Spider was startled and quickly leaped into the middle of the forest, watching him warily: "How are you so strong?"
Zuan didn't speak, but stared intently at it: "How did you end up here? Did you escape from the demon race?"
"You actually know about the sealed land of the demon race?" The Heart-Eating Demon Spider chuckled. "But why should I tell you? You'll know once we become one."
It stretched out its hand, with transparent threads seemingly swirling between its fingers. With a gentle pull, four figures emerged from the forest, surrounding Zu'an.
With Zu An's cultivation level, he could naturally tell that these people were already dead. Judging from their attire, they were probably rogue cultivators hiding in Tongluo Mountain.
The Tongluo Mountains are not small. Some desperate criminals and some rogue cultivators without any background like to hide here to cultivate, and it is also convenient for them to replenish their medicinal herbs or hunt ferocious beasts to obtain materials.
These people were clearly not weak, but they never expected to encounter this monster and become its puppets.
Zuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Ji Dengtu wasn't here, otherwise Xiao Xi would have been heartbroken.
"Go to hell!" The Heart-Eating Spider sneered, and with a flick of its fingers, the puppets seemed to be drawn, brandishing their weapons and attacking Zu'an.
Each person's speed and strength even exceed the strength of the person in front of them, and they always use some strange angles with joint locks when they make moves, making them impossible to defend against.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be surrounded and in grave danger by these puppets controlled by spider silk, but now they've run into Zu'an.
He stood still without dodging, choosing to overcome skill with brute force, sweeping across the entire arena with a flaming blade tens of feet long.
The Flame Blade Manual he obtained in his early years may not seem like a particularly advanced combat technique by today's standards, but with his current cultivation level, its power is vastly different from what it was back then.
Soon, the rolling flames burned away all the transparent spider silk in the surrounding space. He knew that the Heart-Eating Demon Spider was actually very cunning. On the surface, it used these puppets to deal with him, but in reality, it had laid a dense web of spider silk in the forest while escaping. These spider silks were not only sharp, but also poisonous. If one got caught in them, it would indeed be difficult to escape.
However, all of this has now come to naught.
Without the control of the spider silk, the puppets stood frozen in place, quickly engulfed by flames and burned to ashes.
"Rest in peace." Zuan sighed. Rather than letting them live and be devoured by those monsters, or be parasitized and controlled by the Heart-Eating Spiders to deceive their loved ones, this was the best outcome for them.
The Heart-Eating Spider was dumbfounded and immediately turned and ran away. This time, it didn't even leave a word. Its speed in leaping through the forest was simply terrifying.
Unfortunately, he ran into Zuan. No matter how he tried to escape, Zuan was always there, and he couldn't shake him off at all.
Zuan frowned slightly. The Heart-Eating Spider was too fast, and it could often shoot silk into the distance and then retract the silk, almost achieving the effect of teleportation. As a result, even after chasing for so long, he still had a hard time catching up with it.
Just then, a figure suddenly leaped out from the bushes ahead and punched the fleeing Heart-Eating Spider.
The spider was focused entirely on guarding against Zaun, never expecting that someone would attack it.
Stunned by the attack, Zu An seized the opportunity, instantly appearing beside it, grabbing it, and unleashing the "Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique"!
The Heart-Eating Spider had been trying to run, but suddenly felt as if it had been electrocuted, losing all its strength. It cried out in horror, "You are a Gluttonous Beast..."
Zu An was taken aback. The other party's words seemed to imply that he knew Taotie. Could it be that this technique really came from the legendary Taotie?
However, the monster was too cunning. He did not relax at all and used all his strength to absorb all its cultivation. Soon it turned into a withered spider monster again, lying on the ground without moving.
"You damn spider, you chased me to the ends of the earth and had nowhere to run, now you've finally met your match!" The person who had previously blocked it kicked the spider a few times, still not satisfied.
Zuan was pleasantly surprised: "So it was you!"
The person in front of me was none other than Ji Dengtu. I was worried that something might have happened to him.
Ji Dengtu then hurriedly said, "Don't waste time, hurry back to Xiao Xi. I heard that a Heart-Eating Demon Spider has infiltrated their ranks."
Zuan's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.
