Feng Luotian: “Senior Brother, I’ll leave the first round to you. If there’s an opening, I’ll be sure to take the advantage of it.”

Following that, Feng Luotian flashed away and stood by at the other side of the cavern without waiting for any response from his senior brother.

Xiu Yao could only let out a dissatisfying complaint: “Junior Brother, why are you so heartless toward your senior brother?” Although he said it like that, he reasonably judged that, with Feng Luotian’s current cultivation, there was no way his junior brother would be able to fight the Four Talons spider queen.

The queen let go of the ceiling web, flipped herself mid-air, and landed with her legs on the ground, creating a sonorous explosion upon the touchdown.

Instead of crawling toward Xiu Yao, the spider queen learned her lesson from the last bout with him, so she changed the method to a long-range skill. She bent her front legs, tilting the mountain of spiky diamonds and directing it at her prey.

With an eruption of her Theríon, hundreds of those sharp and pointy diamonds were shot out from the queen’s back. On top of that, the queen could freely control each and every one of those diamond javelins and aim directly at Xiu Yao. It was like she was firing hundreds of homing missiles and trying to kill him in one bombardment.

Xiu Yao immediately launched himself toward the queen. Because he did not have the skill with the range that far, he had no choice but to close in and engage in melee combat. Despite the tension, he did not forget to appeal to his character as a chatterbox: “Oh, oh, oh. This is going to be a little difficult. Hundreds of homing strikes, huh? Let’s see if I can do something about it. But let me draw out my sword first. You see this, Junior Brother Feng? It’s a Titanium sword Master bestowed upon me when I got the first ranking in the Peacock School’s entrance exam. Man, back then was quite worrisome because of that twin from the He Clan. I almost got beaten by them despite all of my confidence. Oops! That diamond spike just now almost got me as well, Hehe. Where was I? Oh, at that time, when I took the first ranking, the Supreme Elder accepted me as a disciple right away and gave me this sword. This sword is quite useful, you know? It could increase the chance of parry. You know how hard it is to perfectly time your attack with the opponent’s and perform a parry, right? This sword could double that chance. And coupling with my super speed and this weapon’s power enhancement, I can fight someone at Two Wings without a problem. Now you know how awesome your senior brother is, right, Junior Brother Feng? You don’t have to … Oops! Another spike almost hit me. You don’t have …”

Feng Luotian said: “Senior Brother, could you please focus on the fight and stop talking? I’m also trying to find its opening as well.”

He did not know whether it was a good decision to party with his senior brother, knowing that the voice chat was always opened while partying with him.

Toward Feng Luotian’s harsh rebuke, Xiu Yao, on the other hand, did not seem to be angry at all. Maybe he got used to it already because it was his character since he was a child. There was no way he had never met a direct and rude person who said ‘shut the hell up’ to his face.

Xiu Yao: “Okay, Junior Brother. I’ll stop talking, but would you like to know about my ability first. I’ll tell you about my bloodlines and ability in detail so that you can …”

With a soft snapping sound, Feng Luotian cut off his Theríon linking between him and his senior brother, then he refocused his attention to the queen before he heard a loud shout of grievance resonating from another side of the cavern: “That’s rude, Junior Brother!!”

Nevertheless, Xiu Yao now returned to the battle in front of him. Together with his speed and weapon, his quick reaction could brandish his sword to deflect every launched attack from the spider queen while evading some of them and going straight toward the queen.

After he rushed past the halfway point between the queen and his original position, the spider queen began to exploit the little moment when Xiu Yao dodged and changed his course by continuously shooting cobwebs from her mouth with irregular rhythms, targeting the place where he sidestepped to. This move drastically slowed down Xiu Yao’s advancement toward the queen.

A slight surprise appeared on Xiu Yao’s face, then a smile afterward. As a monster under the Tail Realm, he did not expect the spider queen to have some fighting tactics as cultivators did, so the only explanation was this method was embedded into their gene and bloodline making it the fighting instinct of the monster. If that was the case, then there must be some patterns to it. Once you could discern those patterns, you would be able to take an advantage of them however you liked. And that was exactly what Feng Luotian was trying to do.

Xiu Yao kept slashing his sword and cutting down the webs shot at him. One thing he noticed was there were different levels of stickiness and tenacity of the webs shot by the queen. The longer she held and prepared for the shot, the stickier and more tenacious that shot was. That was the reason for her irregular rhythms when executing web shots.

While he was studying his opponent, Xiu Yao tried to cut down one of the web shots that the queen prepared for about half a second. He found that after the slash, the web was too tenacious to cut and wrapped around his sword, reducing the weapon’s capability. After that, Xiu Yao changed his approach to evade the web whenever it was prepared longer than 0.4 seconds.

A minute had passed since the start of the battle. Blue light flashed across Feng Luotian’s eyes before he initiated his move.

After a minute of careful research when the queen already launched dozens of cobwebs to Xiu Yao, it was clear to Feng Luotian that whenever the queen prepared a web at a high tenacity, she would raise all four of her front legs, giving Feng Luotian a chance to attack from behind.

Right after another try to shoot one of those webs, Feng Luotian, with his full activation of [Pinnacle Flash Lightning] and [Underworld Physique], bolted himself straight at the queen.

Since the spider queen was focusing on her barrage at the front, she did not notice the flash of lightning charged directly toward one of her hind legs. Even though the muscles and tendons of the monsters of this level were very strong, every being had a weak point.

From the knowledge Feng Luotian got from the ancient library: Coeus, most of the spider-like creatures had similar anatomy, which meant that they all had a high probability to possess the same weakness, which was located at their legs’ trochanter-femur joints. Their condyles being lateral made their movement limited to the vertical plane. Once we pushed their femurs horizontally, we could easily tear their legs off. And that was exactly what happened.

With a weight of almost sixteen tons, Feng Luotian tightly grabbed one of her hind legs and took it away just like that.

After losing a leg, the spider queen, who was raising her front legs to shoot a web at Xiu Yao, lost her balance and had all of her attacks miss their target.

Xiu Yao delightfully shouted: “Good job, Junior Brother!!” He then took advantage of this moment to quickly close in and did the same move as before: [Phantom Wind Palm], causing the queen to lie with her back upside down once again.
