Ye Fei's divine sense spread out, and from afar, he could indeed see a considerable number of Purple Blood Spiders continuously converging towards this area.
Moreover, the vicinity of this dilapidated temple was already swarming with many Purple Blood Spiders. They were hissing and clearly tracking Yang Si's scent.
Ye Fei had some understanding of these Purple Blood Spiders; each time they mobilized, the most powerful among them acted as the leader. Only by defeating the leader would the remaining Purple Blood Spiders scatter like headless flies.
Therefore, Ye Fei again activated his divine sense, searching the surroundings. He finally located the Purple Blood Spider with the highest cultivation on his right.
This Purple Blood Spider was a true purple all over, and its eight slender legs sent shivers down one's spine.
Even more terrifying was that each leg was covered in sharp spikes, which were the primary weapons the Purple Blood Spiders used to attack other demonic beasts and martial artists.
Of course, its ultimate weapon was the poisonous silk it spat out. Anyone ensnared by its poison silk was certain to die!
Even Ye Fei, who was immune to all poisons, would be affected, leading to slowed movements.
Most importantly, the leader Purple Blood Spider's cultivation had already reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining!
For him, a martial artist at the initial stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, this was an immense challenge!
As for Yang Si's cultivation, it was only at the intermediate stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, just one level higher than Ye Fei. She was no match for this Purple Blood Spider either.
After estimating the combat strengths of both sides, Ye Fei silently retreated again.
"Ye Fei, how is it?"
"Did you see those Purple Blood Spiders?" Yang Si asked urgently.
"I observed for a while just now. I found that the leader Purple Blood Spider's cultivation is at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. Our cultivation levels are indeed far inferior to it."
Before Ye Fei could even finish speaking, Yang Si's shoulders slumped in dejection.
"We're finished, we're definitely finished!"
"I never imagined that I, Yang Si, would meet such an end!"
"It's all my fault for dragging you down!"
"When the time comes, I'll distract the leader Purple Blood Spider by myself, and you find an opportunity to escape quickly. Do you hear me?" Yang Si instructed, her voice filled with despair.
Since Ye Fei was implicated by her, she couldn't let him perish here as well.
Seeing that she was already making her final arrangements, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation, quickly stopping her.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"How can you be so sure we have no hope?"
Yang Si was stunned by Ye Fei's words, her expression confused.
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Fei felt a touch of exasperation, thinking this woman had become foolish at this crucial moment.
However, at this juncture, Ye Fei had no mood for teasing and spoke with a serious and solemn expression.
"I am confident that I can kill the leader of the Purple Blood Spiders!"
"However, I need you to distract all the remaining Purple Blood Spiders for me. Can you do that?" Ye Fei asked, his gaze intense.
"What are you saying?"
"Are you joking?" Yang Si asked incredulously.
"Miss, at a time like this, how could I possibly joke with my own life!"
"Don't worry, I have a life-saving jade token that can deal with demon beasts at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining!"
"Coupled with my movement techniques, if I can find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on that Purple Blood Spider, we will immediately achieve victory!"
"However, during this process, you must not let me get distracted. Can you do that?" Ye Fei retorted.
"Of course, I can manage to distract the other Purple Blood Spiders for you!"
"However, my cultivation is not high. I estimate that one hour is my limit!"
"Therefore, you must find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack within an hour, otherwise, I won't be able to hold on!" Yang Si stated directly.
"Alright, let's do it this way!"
"One hour is more than enough!"
"Then, we will act separately later!"
"Without further ado, let's act quickly. We cannot let the leader Purple Blood Spider continue to summon its companions, or we will truly have no hope!" Ye Fei made a final decision, then drew his sword and dashed towards the entrance.
Yang Si also drew her sword and followed closely behind Ye Fei.
"I'll go first!"
"Act according to the plan!"
As Ye Fei finished speaking, he immediately drew his sword and charged out of the dilapidated temple.
"Let's fight!"
Yang Si gritted her teeth and also rushed out.
Ye Fei's movements were not small, so the leader Purple Blood Spider, which had been sniffing on the ground, immediately raised its head.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Seeing that these two dared to show themselves, the Purple Blood Spider's blood-red, beady eyes immediately showed a hint of disdain.
It had no intention of dealing with mere pawns like Ye Fei and Yang Si personally.
It hissed a few times, and then many Purple Blood Spiders from the surroundings swarmed towards Ye Fei and Yang Si.
"Ye Fei, I'll deal with them!"
Yang Si, looking valiant, was the first to charge into the encirclement of the Purple Blood Spiders.
A significant weakness of the Purple Blood Spiders is their poor agility, so Yang Si fully exploited this. For a while, these Purple Blood Spiders were unable to harm her.
"Beast, your opponent is me!"
"Take this!"
Ye Fei was unapologetic. He drew his long sword. With each use, the rust on his sword had completely fallen off.
The long sword was sharp and exuded an aura of dominance. With surging sword energy, it directly attacked the leader Purple Blood Spider.
The Purple Blood Spider, seeing such a minor figure as Ye Fei dare to provoke it, immediately hissed a few times. Its eight legs stomped hard on the ground, and its large, bean-like eyes were filled with anger.
"Beast, I will let you witness my prowess now!"
"Xuantian Art, Second Style!"
"Attack!"
Clang.
Ye Fei, like a sharp projectile, rushed directly towards the leader Purple Blood Spider.
This Purple Blood Spider was not to be trifled with either and immediately counterattacked.
It spat out a long strand of poisonous silk from its mouth, intending to ensnare Ye Fei.
Then, it would be corroded to nothingness.
"Little one, I won't fall for that!"
Ye Fei sneered. Instead of engaging it head-on, he moved to the side, circling behind the Purple Blood Spider. His long sword then slashed down.
"Let's see where you run!"
However, the leader Purple Blood Spider immediately spat out another strand of poisonous silk, which met the descending sword and wrapped around it.
Hum, hum, hum.
The long sword was completely entangled, and it was difficult to break through this incredibly tough poisonous silk for the time being.
With his attack unsuccessful, the leader Purple Blood Spider's beady eyes flashed with a gleam, and it cast a triumphant glance at Ye Fei.
It seemed to imply that Ye Fei was no match for it.
Ye Fei was almost amused to the point of laughter, but he did admit that the Purple Blood Spider's poisonous silk was indeed formidable.
