The tired fingers moved with extreme agility, wriggling rapidly, and the spider silk, like cat's cradle, swiftly changed its shape.
Soon, a spider web took form and shot towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye leaped into the air.
The spider web zipped past below Bai Ye's body. Upon striking a large tree, it instantly sliced the tree into pieces.
The thick trunk, along the gaps in the spider web, was divided into segments.
And the moment Bai Ye dodged...
Rui suddenly reached out towards the sky. Immediately, countless spider silks flew from his sleeves, not directly attacking Bai Ye, but shooting upwards. They used the surrounding branches for cover, then suddenly descended from the air.
This made it very difficult for Bai Ye to discern the direction of the incoming spider silks.
Naturally, it also made dodging difficult.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. So...
No need to dodge!
The Nanming Lihuo Sword was unsheathed!
The moment Bai Ye raised the Nanming Lihuo Sword, it transformed into a streak of rainbow light.
Bai Ye swung the rainbow light, and the spider silks descending towards him were instantly severed, scattering downwards.
After this one sword strike, Bai Ye did not pause. Grasping the rainbow light, he continued to slash forward.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Violent roaring sounds echoed continuously.
The rainbow light formed by the Nanming Lihuo Sword swept across, instantly cutting down the trees in front. Amidst the thunderous roars, the trees snapped one by one and fell towards Rui.
Rui's gaze turned grim. A strand of spider silk suddenly appeared on his back, sticking to a distant large tree.
As the spider silk tightened, Rui's body was dragged backward.
Bai Ye wasted no words, immediately pinpointed his target, and then...
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's aim was at the position behind Rui. After his figure flickered, he appeared directly in front of Rui, and then with a raised hand and a falling sword!
That sword strike severed the spider silk attached to Rui's body.
"Tch!"
Rui pouted, his hands crossed in front of him. Immediately, countless silk threads shot towards Bai Ye again.
Bai Ye wasted no words, directly raising his sword to slash.
It had to be said, Rui's spider silks were quite troublesome. They were hard and sharp, and in an environment like the forest, they were very effective.
Firstly, the dim light made the spider silks extremely thin and difficult to detect.
Secondly, by utilizing the surrounding trees and constantly entangling them, the direction of the spider silks could be altered, making attacks unpredictable.
Thirdly, once entangled, it was very difficult to break free. The more one struggled, the tighter the entanglement became, leading to the body being sliced apart.
However...
Bai Ye possessed both the Nanming Lihuo Sword and the corrosive venom ability of the Dudu Fruit to melt the spider silks. Therefore, for Rui, Bai Ye was indeed an unwelcome opponent.
He was too heavily countered!
Seeing his silk threads being severed and Bai Ye's sword edge approaching him,
Rui quickly hooked a finger.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The ground continuously shattered, and then, one by one, spider silks broke through the ground and rose, forming a wall in front of Rui.
But...
It was useless!
The sharpness of the Nanming Lihuo Sword was irresistible. The wall formed by the spider silks could not withstand the Nanming Lihuo Sword at all.
The moment Bai Ye raised his sword and swept it sideways, the dazzling rainbow light reappeared, and the spider silk wall in front was instantly shattered.
However, behind the wall of spider silk, Bai Ye did not see Rui's figure.
"Obscuring vision, then escaping?"
Bai Ye quickly scanned his surroundings.
In such a short time, even if he could escape, he couldn't have gone too far.
As Bai Ye pondered, he tossed the Nanming Lihuo Sword into the air.
A streak of rainbow light shot into the sky, then suddenly exploded, transforming into countless streams of light that rained down, continuously bombarding the ground.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
With the fall of each stream of light, the ground let out a loud roar.
The moment the streams of light shattered, terrifying fluctuations appeared, pushing outwards in all directions.
Under the impact of the fluctuations, everything around was destroyed. Trees began to be continuously cut down, falling one after another.
The ground seemed to bear immense pressure, emitting loud noises, being crushed into powder, and constantly collapsing.
Bai Ye continuously rotated his body, looking at the shattered surroundings.
Then...
"Found him!"
Bai Ye suddenly darted forward, swiftly weaving through the falling trees, and quickly located Rui, who was running ahead.
Rui glanced back, waved his hands to the sides, and immediately, countless spider silks appeared, scattering in all directions and entangling the surrounding trees.
These spider silks crisscrossed, blocking Bai Ye's path. If he tried to force his way through, he would inevitably be sliced apart by those silks.
But...
"Poison Dragon!"
Purple venom continuously overflowed from Bai Ye's body, and then...
Bai Ye raised his fist and punched forward.
A large amount of venom was splashed forward, condensing in the air and quickly forming a dragon shape, writhing forward.
The crisscrossing spider silks released by Rui, the moment the poison dragon advanced, were continuously cut into pieces.
However, as the poison dragon's body was repeatedly cut, it also meant that the venom was continuously dripping onto the spider silks.
Soon, the crisscrossing spider silks were continuously melted and broken by the venom.
Bai Ye swiftly charged forward, and then, using the same method, his gaze swept past Rui, pinpointing a location in front of Rui.
Teleportation!
Bai Ye suddenly appeared in front of Rui, then abruptly turned his body and swept a leg towards Rui.
Rui's pupils constricted. His ten fingers crossed, and he pulled out a spider web with the silk threads in his hands.
This move made Bai Ye hesitate to kick directly. If they clashed head-on, his leg might truly be sliced into pieces.
However, there was no need to kick directly!
"Phoenix Flame!"
Suddenly, the air became scorching hot.
Blazing flames ignited on Bai Ye's leg, coiling around his lower leg.
Spider silk...
Fears fire!
Bai Ye felt a bit of sympathy for Rui, the Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Demon Moons. He was truly a bit unlucky. The Nanming Lihuo Sword, venom, and now flames...
It seemed he had too many ways to counter the opponent's abilities.
Almost instantly, the spider silk was burned away, and then...
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye decisively detonated the flames, and with a "boom," the sound of an explosion suddenly erupted.
Amidst the explosion, a terrifying blast wave pushed outwards, like a heavy hammer, striking Rui and sending him flying with a single blow.
