When Chen Shouyi returned to the street, the giant spider from another world that had been on the other end of the street was nowhere to be seen, evidently having gone elsewhere.

Gunshots and screams echoed continuously around him, and the place was already in chaos. Clearly, there were still many giant insects rampaging around, causing casualties among civilians and soldiers every moment.

In the nearby residential buildings, many figures stood cautiously by the windows, looking around with panicked expressions.

This disaster had struck so suddenly. Just a moment ago, it was peaceful here, as calm as a pool of dead water, yet in the next moment, it was as if they had entered a horror movie.

At this moment, a familiar screech made Chen Shouyi's face change.

Following the sound, he took several strides and darted into the residential area. On a lawn, a giant spider, which had entered from who knows where, was slowly pacing, as if it were a lion patrolling its territory, its cold compound eyes sizing up the towering residential buildings around it.

Perhaps catching sight of the terrified figures in the windows, it moved its legs and walked to the base of a residential building. Its front legs lightly touched the wall. In the next moment, several sharp legs plunged into the wall like spears, climbing upward step by step along the structure.

Its climbing wasn't fast, but combined with its round-table-sized body, it wasn't slow at all.

In just a few strides, it reached the second floor. Through the window, its indifferent compound eyes greedily surveyed everything inside. Two front legs, like Death's scythes, slowly slid over the glass window, which could not withstand such immense force, cracking quickly with a sinister sound.

Inside, a pair of young couples were already paralyzed with fear on the ground, wriggling backwards desperately like two meat insects, filled with despair.

The giant spider seemed to watch their struggle with keen interest, delaying its attack.

Just then, its cold compound eyes suddenly turned 180 degrees, attempting to assess the situation behind it. Like a precision machine, its mouthparts trembled slightly, emitting a hissing warning sound.

It keenly sensed danger approaching. As it hesitated between choosing food or dealing with danger,

a human figure soared through the air while running at high speed. Mid-air, a sword light flashed like a fleeting rainbow, slashing downward.

In the next moment, its entire back was cut open by a single sword stroke.

The severe wound on its back made the giant spider emit a sharp screech. It could no longer support itself and fell from the second floor, nimbly flipping to land on the ground.

Despite sustaining a fatal injury, it did not die immediately.

Insects have always had resilient life forces, and this powerful insect from another world was no exception.

However, it had already lost all fighting spirit, dragging a few-meter-long colorful intestine as it attempted to escape,

only to be caught up in a few strides by Chen Shouyi.

Sword strike!

Legs severed!

While running, Chen Shouyi delivered three consecutive sword strikes.

Three legs on one side, each over two meters long, were completely cut off. Before its body could tilt and fall, Chen Shouyi swiftly advanced a step, aiming a fierce thrust at the spider's thorax and abdomen.

Suddenly, a wild wind arose.

A high-speed sword shadow, nearly twice the speed of sound, flashed like an afterimage.

The sword did not cause a sonic boom, only a brief whooshing sound. If it hadn't been for the immediate outward dispersion of the airflow around the sword tip, creating a vortex of wind, its terrifying power would have been unimaginable.

In the blink of an eye, the sword pierced the giant spider's thorax and abdomen. With a bang, blood and flesh splattered, a bowl-sized bloody hole blasted open.

Chen Shouyi quickly stepped back a few paces after withdrawing the sword.

Yet, he was still splattered all over by the giant spider's bodily fluid.

Feeling nauseated, Chen Shouyi wiped his face and then looked at the exaggerated bloody hole caused by his previous sword strike.

"After the mutation, as my wind control ability somewhat recovered, the speed of the direct thrust with the bow steps has increased by at least twenty or even thirty percent, making the power much greater," he thought to himself.

"This is despite the hard shell of this otherworldly giant spider; if it were an ordinary person, one sword strike would probably blow their entire body into two pieces."

...

"Brother, are you hurt?" Chen Xingyue opened the door and asked worriedly, seeing Chen Shouyi covered in colorful liquid.

Chen Shouyi had been patrolling around the neighborhood, having killed three giant spiders in total, but his body was also splashed all over with their blood.

"I'm fine, it's just a bit smelly." Before entering, Chen Shouyi took off his torn jacket, threw it at the doorway, rolled up his sleeves, and walked in barefoot; as for his shoes, they had already shattered completely during the intense activity.

Mrs. Chen and Father Chen both breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're not hurt, good that you're not hurt," Mrs. Chen muttered.

Song Tingting stood silently aside, her beautiful eyes almost glued to Chen Shouyi, soft and tender as if they would melt into water.

Unfortunately, Chen Shouyi only glanced at her, with no mind to pay attention, pausing for a moment before hesitantly saying, "I came back to get my bow; I'm going out again in a while."

Mrs. Chen felt a pang in her heart, wanting to say something, but Chen Dawei, standing beside her, pulled her and intercepted, "You're a Martial Artist, not an ordinary person. If you want to go, just go! Don't worry about us, the building is so big and tall, we can run to other floors if there's danger."

Mrs. Chen wanted to say more but finally sighed and said, "Be sure to be careful."

Chen Shouyi's eyes slightly reddened, nodding heavily.

He entered the bedroom, took down the large Martial Artist Level War Bow from the wall, equipped the bowstring, adjusted it, picked up two quivers filled with arrows, hung them by his waist, and then left the room.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now, I'll be back." Chen Shouyi said, walking to the door.

"Don't act rashly, be smart, and run if you meet danger!" Mrs. Chen urged from behind.

"Don't worry, I won't take unnecessary risks!" Chen Shouyi replied without looking back.

"Senior, your shoes!" At this moment, Song Tingting picked up a pair of Chen Shouyi's sneakers from the shoe cabinet and ran out after him.

Chen Shouyi, who had already reached the stairway, paused and was about to say there was no need when a moist sensation, like a dragonfly touching the water's surface, brushed across the side of his face, leaving him stunned.

Song Tingting's face was flushed, but her autumn-water-like eyes boldly met Chen Shouyi's as she softly said, "Senior, you must come back!"

...

Chen Shouyi carried a pair of shoes, walking up the stairs, his heart pounding; he couldn't help but touch his cheek. He could still feel the moist and soft touch clearly.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Zhang Xiaoyue.

Realizing he hadn't thought of her for quite some time, only the beautiful memory of his first love remained in his heart.

As he descended the stairs, listening to the dense gunfire from afar, all stray thoughts dissipated instantly from his mind.

Chen Shouyi's expression became serious. Looking at the shoes in his hand, he casually threw them to the ground, then quickly walked barefoot towards the sound of gunfire in the distance.

No need to waste the shoes.
