Hu Yalong gripped the Peach Wood Sword tightly, pointing it at the Spider Demon’s belly as he charged forward with incredible speed.
Hu Yalong was built like a bear, and his momentum was as powerful as that of a compact car. He reached the Spider Demon and shouted, “You bastard, let go of my Brother Jiang Ling!”
“Looking for death!” The Spider Demon paused for a moment upon seeing Hu Yalong rushing towards it. It lifted one of its hind legs and kicked Hu Yalong to the ground.
“Damn, you’re strong!” Hu Yalong exclaimed, filled with rage as he was unexpectedly knocked down. He touched his chest where he had been kicked, tasted blood in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of crimson.
“Don’t think this will settle things with me, Brother Fat!” Hu Yalong got back up from the ground and swung the Peach Wood Sword at the Spider Demon.
Seeing Hu Yalong charge again, the Spider Demon kicked him down once more. It turned around and stepped on Hu Yalong, saying, “Since you’re looking for trouble, I’ll take care of you first!”
The Spider Demon opened its mouth and spat out a web that ensnared Hu Yalong completely. Then it used its front legs to grab him and lunged forward to bite his head.
Hu Yalong glanced behind the Spider Demon and a wicked smile appeared on his face. “Monster, watch your back! Haha!”
Upon hearing Hu Yalong's words, the Spider Demon looked back skeptically. When it saw me standing behind it with the Peach Wood Sword in hand, it suddenly felt a tightening sensation in its rear and tried to turn around.
Unfortunately for it, it was too late. With the time Hu Yalong had bought me, I was ready to unleash my finishing move.
I poured all my Vital Energy into the Peach Wood Sword and bit my fingertip to smear a layer of Master’s Blood along the blade, preparing to execute my ultimate spell.
Vital Energy as the foundation, blood as the guide; this was the strongest spell I could currently cast.
I pointed the Peach Wood Sword skyward and shouted loudly, “Three Pure Ones, grant your power! Divine patterns descend with might! A thousand rays of golden light to eradicate evil and vanquish demons!”
“Divine Pattern Sword Technique, slash!”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt all my Vital Energy being drawn into the Peach Wood Sword. At that moment, a faint golden light began to emanate from within the sword.
I knew that my Vital Energy had reached its limit, so without hesitation, I swung the Peach Wood Sword at the Spider Demon.
The Peach Wood Sword struck the Spider Demon, cleaving it in two. At that moment, the golden light of the Peach Wood Sword extinguished, and it turned to ash, disappearing into the air.
After executing this move, I felt completely drained of energy. My legs buckled, and I collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
The head of the Spider Demon fell beside Hu Yalong. It still had a breath left in it and looked at me and Hu Yalong, roaring, "Roar! I'm not willing to accept this! When my big brother comes out, he will definitely avenge me. You are both dead!"
Hu Yalong spat on the head of the Spider Demon and said, "Pah! You're all talk. By the time your Brother Fat learns a Spell, your big brother will just be a delivery boy!"
I sat on the ground for two or three minutes to catch my breath, feeling some strength return to my body. I stood up and pulled the spider webs off Hu Yalong, saying, "Fatty, I didn't expect you to be quite loyal!"
Hu Yalong stood up and patted his chest with a grin. " Brother Jiang Ling, even though I'm a coward, I won't let you down in critical moments!"
Glancing at the lifeless Spider Demon, Hu Yalong asked nervously, " Brother Jiang Ling, that Spider Demon really has a big brother? You don't think it's true, do you?"
I patted Hu Yalong's shoulder and smiled. "That's right; it does have a big brother, and I know where he is. Weren't you just saying that when your big brother comes, he'll be just a delivery boy? Why don't you go take care of him now?"
Hu Yalong scratched his head awkwardly and pretended he hadn't heard me. He changed the subject. " Brother Jiang Ling, shouldn't we call Sister Zhang Yang over to clean up?"
I checked the time; it was already two in the morning. I yawned and said, "Tell them to hurry up so we can wrap things up and get some sleep!"
A little over ten minutes later, Zhang Yang arrived with her subordinates. When she saw the corpse of the Spider Demon on the ground, she let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yang calmly instructed her subordinates to document the scene and handle the Spider Demon's body. After they finished these tasks, she walked over to us and asked, "You two aren't hurt, are you?"
Hu Yalong straightened his clothes and boasted, "With me here as an unparalleled expert, how could we possibly get hurt!"
"Get lost!" I kicked Hu Yalong in the rear end to send him away. I briefly recounted what had happened here to Zhang Yang and pointed at the Spider Demon's corpse. "Sister Zhang Yang, this Spider Demon's body contains toxins; you'd better burn it quickly. Otherwise, if the toxins leak out, people will die!"
Hearing what I said, her expression changed, and she nodded seriously, saying, "We will handle it as soon as possible!"
I nodded and led her to the well, saying, "Below is the lair of that Spider Demon. The corpses it stole should be down there. Once it's light, you can send someone down to look for them."
"Really?!" she asked excitedly. For her, recovering those missing bodies would be a significant achievement.
I nodded and handed her three Talismans, saying, "The Eerie Energy at the bottom of the well is very strong. If someone goes down, give them these talismans; they can help resist the Eerie Energy."
She took the Talismans and happily asked, "Jiang Ling, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
I nodded and then pressed my hand against my stomach, pretending to be in great pain. "Sister Zhang Yang, to be honest, I just fought with that Spider Demon and it was a life-or-death struggle. Although I managed to slay the Spider Demon, I sustained serious internal injuries. It might take three to five days for me to recover."
I winked at her and smiled, "Sister Zhang Yang, could you help me request a few days off?"
Seeing my act, she covered her stomach and couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Yalong heard my words and immediately reacted. He clutched his chest and fell to the ground, rolling in agony as he shouted, "Oh no! It hurts so much! It feels like all my bones are broken; I’ll need at least ten or fifteen days off to recover!"
Hearing Hu Yalong's words made my head spin. I couldn't keep up the act any longer, so I walked over and kicked him in the backside, saying, "Fatty, you're being way too dramatic!"
