The King of Black Fog

Golden armor, a red cloak, silky black hair, and the Emerald Bee Sword coated in a golden glow, transformed into a golden longsword as if forged from gold itself.

Yang Qinglan was like a Valkyrie.

The Demon Hunter and two nuns, one older and one younger, looked at her in astonishment.

It was not just because of her change in attire, but also because the leg of the Invisible Blade Spider had been severed.

Up until now, according to the experience written in demon hunter textbooks and passed on by word of mouth, the only way to kill such a monster was to dodge its blade-like legs and attack its floating body.

Of course, there were instances where the Invisible Blade Spider was killed without this method.

Those were the elite experts, who, with a power disparity as exaggerated as "to avoid mosquitoes, simply turn summer into winter," obliterated the Invisible Blade Spider.

For the vast majority of people, the blade-like legs of the Invisible Blade Spider were indestructible!

Yet now, a novice Holy Daughter had severed one of these legs with a sword!

After a brief pause, "Ah—", the Invisible Blade Spider let out a screech like that of a wailing baby.

The sound shifted from crying to a man's roar, a woman's scream, an old man's wail, and the snarl of a wild beast...

These were the voices of lives lost to the Invisible Blade Spider's blade-like legs, screamed out in their final moments.

The voices lingered in the Spider's body, traveling up its stilt-like legs, becoming its voice.

"...Lan?" Amidst these sounds, the older nun tentatively called out to Yang Qinglan.

"Buzz!"

Yang Qinglan swung the Emerald Bee Sword diagonally, and it buzzed like a bee.

She charged forward.

The wails of the Invisible Blade Spider abruptly ceased, like a drunk person falling off a cliff before the dreadful silence at the bottom, the next second, two blade-like legs sliced through the dawn air, kicking towards her.

Yang Qinglan's azure gaze swept over, and a leg blade tinted by the eyes of a calf fell to one side.

Thrown off balance, the two kicked-out legs of the Invisible Blade Spider changed speed and direction.

Yang Qinglan's knees pressed down and her feet stomped fiercely, anchoring her body like a ship dropping anchor,

A powerful force rebounded from the ground up her body and into her right arm, propelling the Emerald Bee Sword to sweep from left to right.

A variation of the bow stance thrust—bow stance sweep, coupled with the most basic 'Whole Force' (using the ground to adjust the body's total strength).

Clang! Clang!

The two blade-like legs clashed with the Emerald Bee Sword, as fragile as sugarcane in the hands of a fruit shop owner, breaking on impact.

"Ah—" The Invisible Blade Spider let out another wail like a baby.

It staggered and lowered its body. With three of its blade-like legs severed, it could no longer maintain its slender, stilt-walk posture.

Yang Qinglan exerted force again, her slender legs clad in Golden Armor, and with a burst from the ground, her body shot out like a sword, her hand's Emerald Bee Sword trailing several streaks of light.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

All the blade-like legs of the Invisible Blade Spider, tainted with the color of a calf's eyes, were severed!

Boom!

The Invisible Blade Spider, like a building with its ground floor removed, collapsed thunderously onto the ground.

The dust that erupted spread out in the air like a shock wave, diffusing like mist.

The body of the Invisible Blade Spider turned glass-colored.

Although one's sight could still pass through its body to see things behind it, its outline was now clear.

"Ah!" Amidst the cries of a baby, the Invisible Blade Spider struggled to stand up.

Yang Qinglan, clad in Golden Holy Armor, glanced at it, the Emerald Bee Sword made a diagonal chop, and the crying ceased.

The Invisible Blade Spider was beheaded.

The next second, its glass-like body slowly disappeared.

"After an Invisible Blade Spider dies, its body becomes completely invisible—some say it disappears, but either way, no one can touch them again," the lead old demon hunter came over with sweat on his forehead.

He looked at Yang Qinglan with respect.

Yang Qinglan nodded slightly to acknowledge, her calm glance turning toward the ghost in a black dress on the path to the right.

All eyes followed hers, and now only this demon remained.

"Stay away from the Centaur's corpse!" the elderly nun suddenly warned.

Dan Xi and Endi, who were near the Centaur, quickly leaped away.

A ghostly shadow rose from the Centaur's corpse.

The most frightened of ghosts, Li Qianxia inhaled sharply, as the ghost of the Centaur roared silently towards her, unlike before, it no longer held the Thunder Axe.

Moreover, the Invisible Blade Spider also stood up again, this time not in a glassy transparency, but in a ghost-like transparency!

The bamboo-like blade legs were intact, supporting its slender body, blocking again in front of everyone.

Except for the Living Dead, the situation had returned to the beginning!

The Demon Hunter gripped his silver sword;

The young nun clutched at the older nun's robe, and the older nun held her cross pendant close to her chest.

The battle was on the verge of restarting.

Yang Qinglan glanced at these "ghosts," then raised her hands to her head, and elegantly used the Emerald Bee Sword to tie up her hair.

Gentle middle parting, strands falling gracefully on either side of her face.

Paired with the Golden Armor and the gorgeously red cloak, she transformed from a Valkyrie into a gentle and sacred Knight.

"Qian Xia," she spread her hands, "cover me, help me buy some time."

"I can only do my best..." Li Qianxia held her longsword diagonally to the ground, standing in front of her.

Five seconds later, the "Bible·Knight" appeared in Yang Qinglan's hands.

Upon the appearance of the Evangelical Book, the two nuns immediately clasped their hands in front of their chests, as if saluting, devoutly praying:

"I will never leave you nor forsake you, I will be with you."

The Evangelical Book emitted a soft holy light, and Yang Qinglan looked down,

On the sixth page, the fifth Evangelical Skill—"Bright and Upright," was available to use twice for free.
