Chapter 35
"Looks like you have some ability, Cultivator." The Demonic Spider showed him a grotesque smile and continued, "However, you won't be able to defeat me if that's all of your strength."
"You talk too much for a monster!" Yuan said, and he rushed at the Demonic Spider again.
"How brave!" The Demonic Spider used its legs to sweep at Yuan, but he dodged it with ease.
'Just as Xiao Hua said! Although it may be strong and tough, its speed is very slow compared to the Cultivators I've already fought!' Yuan felt relieved inwardly after seeing that he could dodge the Demonic Spider's attacks with no problem.
"Bloody Sword Strike!"
Yuan activated his sword skill, and he aimed it directly at the Demonic Spider's face.
"If I can't cut your legs, I will go straight for your face!"
Ding!
The Demonic Spider used two more legs to block its face.
"Hahaha! Did you forget that I have eight limbs?! Die for me!"
After blocking Yuan's attack, the Demonic Spider opened its mouth and spat out a lob of green liquid at him.
Yuan's eyes widened at the green liquid that was flying towards his face, but he was not caught off guard, as he'd been watching the Demonic Spider's every movement very carefully.
After dodging the poison spit, Yuan distanced himself from the Demonic Spider and raised his sword in a particular manner.
"I do not believe that I cannot cut you down!"
Yuan took a deep breath before closing his eyes.
"How dare you close your eyes during our fight?! Are you looking down on me?!" The Demonic Spider shouted in anger, and it began running at Yuan with a fierce aura.
However, Yuan remained calm, and he slowly opened his eyes a second later, which was glowing brilliantly, and his black eyes suddenly became golden.
When the Demonic Spider saw Yuan's golden eyes, it immediately stopped running at him and stared at him with narrowed eyes, feeling an ominous feeling coming from Yuan.
'This is my first time using this skill, but I have a feeling that it'll defeat the Demonic Spider.' Yuan felt very confident at this moment, and his senses were sharper, almost as though something within him had awakened.
'Oh? Brother Yuan is finally going to use that technique?' Xiao Hua watched with enthusiasm.
Yuan's body suddenly exploded with immense spiritual energy and a heavenly aura, and his sword gushed with a golden light that was so bright and thick that the blade itself could no longer be seen, almost as though it'd turned into a pillar of light.
After raising the sword towards the heavens, Yuan swung it vertically as though he wanted to split the seas and separate the heavens.
"Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!"
A golden beam of light then shot out from the sword and rushed at the Demonic Spider, and if one looked closely, they would be able to see the image of a dragon within the golden light.
The Demonic Spider watched the golden beam flying towards it with wide eyes, and it wanted to dodge it, but for some odd reason, it was unable to move its muscles, much less its legs, almost as though there were invisible chains bounding its body.
The Demonic Spider suddenly felt the urge to turn its head, so it slowly turned to look at the small figure standing a few meters away, and when it saw the barely noticeable smile on Xiao Hua's face, it immediately realized why it couldn't move its body, and it roared loudly.
"AAAAAHHHHHH! DAMN YOU, HUMANS!"
When the golden light finally reached the Demonic Spider, it consumed the Demonic Spider's figure, before destroying its body into a million pieces until there was nothing left of its existence.
However, the golden light did not stop even after erasing the Demonic Spider and continued to fly towards the end of the cave.
BOOM!
The entire cave shook violently as Yuan's sword strike created a massive hole in the cave.
«Congratulations! Player Yuan has become the first player to kill the Elite Boss: Demonic Spider»
«Congratulations! Player Yuan has become the first player to conquer the Demonic Spider's Silent Cave!»
Two announcements appeared in the sky for every Player in the world to see.
Meanwhile, inside the Demonic Spider's Silent Cave, Yuan silently stared at the gaping hole in the cave, seemingly surprised by the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike's prowess.
"As expected of a Divine-rank Skill, its ability is through the roof..." Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice.
Sometime later, Xiao Hua approached Yuan with two items in her hand, and she said, "Brother Yuan, the Demonic Spider dropped its Monster Core and a Poison Sac."
"Oh, thank you…" Yuan accepted the Monster Core without hesitation but then looked at the Poison Sac with a worried expression.
"Xiao Hua, is it safe to be holding that thing?" he asked her.
"Un. The poison is contained inside the sac, so you won't get poisoned." She nodded.
«Poison Sac»
«Material»
«Description: A rare item dropped by Demonic Spiders. It can be used to enchant weapons or used to create poison pills»
"Anyway, let's get out of here," Yuan said.
The two of them began making their way out of the cave, and a few minutes later, they reached the exit.
"Y-You are! What happened?! Where's my daughter?!"
When the middle-aged man saw Yuan, his eyes widened with shock.
Why is he still alive? What happened to the Demonic Spider?
Seeing the middle-aged man, Yuan immediately frowned and said to him, "How dare you lie and bait us! You never wanted us to save your daughter!"
The middle-aged man immediately got on his knees and kowtowed to them, "I'm sorry, Cultivators! I had no choice because the Demonic Spider has my daughter! It said that if I brought ten humans to it, it would let my daughter live!"
Yuan shook his head and said, "Just like how you'd lied to us, the Demonic Spider also lied to you. It never planned on keeping its words. Your daughter… she was eaten by it on the second day."
"N-No! Impossible!"
The middle-aged man looked at Yuan with disbelief, and he begged Yuan in a voice filled with desperation, "Please! That cannot be true! She must be in there somewhere!"
"I don't gain anything by lying to you. If you do not believe me, you can go inside and check for yourself. I have already killed the Demonic Spider, so you don't have to worry about—"
Before Yuan could even finish his sentence, the middle-aged man got up and rushed into the cave, disappearing into the darkness.
