Chapter 189: Kill (1/2)
By now, Chen Feng had left several wounds on the Phantom Beast’s body and black-coloured blood kept trickling out from them. The wounds were all the work of the Overwhelming Astral Sword. Although the demonic beast’s defence was incredibly tough, it was insufficient. How could it take on the might of a Prized artefact?
“Still not going to submit?” Chen Feng barked.
“You humans only know how to rely on the power of your weapons. If you have what it takes, come fight me with your bare hands,” the Phantom Beast said unyieldingly. During their fight, the Phantom Beast had attempted to turn invisible and hide itself but it was still found out by Chen Feng.
Kacha!
One of the hard bone spikes protruding tall from the Phantom Beast’s body was cut down. Immediately, the aura coming from the Phantom Beast’s body declined.
“Oh, I get it now. It turns out those bone spikes are your sources of strength. Say, if I cut out all the bone spikes on you, what will happen?” Chen Feng said with a smile.
Hearing those words, the Phantom Beast panicked. It began releasing a series of strange sounds.
Hearing that, Chen Feng thought that it was talking with the language of the Demon Plane.
“Kid, it is calling for its companions,” Tower warned him.
“Calling its companions? Could there be more Phantom Beasts and Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters here?” Chen Feng was shocked.
“Of course. I also know that you are being followed,” Tower laughed.
“What? Someone is following me? Why did you say anything?” Chen Feng grew displeased.
“Why should I tell you?” Tower said as a matter-of-factly.
“It seems I have to hurry up and deal with this Phantom Beast.” The power emanating from the Overwhelming Astral Sword then abruptly grew before smashing the Phantom Beast down, knocking it unconscious. Next, with a grasping motion, Chen Feng brought the Phantom Beast into the Longevity Tower where it was then suppressed.
He had only just incarcerated the Phantom Beast when he sensed a number of ferocious and bloodthirsty auras rapidly approaching his position.
“There are so many Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters!” Chen Feng was finally shocked. Chen Feng’s senses informed him that there were at least 10 Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters around him.
Chen Feng felt somewhat thankful. If several more Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters had appeared last night, all of the Extreme Celestial Sect disciples in the little town would likely have died.
Could there be a passageway into the Demon Plane here? Chen Feng thought to himself while bringing out Bloody Soul. As Bloody Soul was a demonic artefact, it should be more effective against the demonic beasts.
Sou! Sou!
Two Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters pounced upon Chen Feng at the same time, their sharp fangs and searing claws, which glistened with an icy light, cut through the air to release a whistling sound.
Chi!
Chen Feng’s figure flashed and dodged diagonally. Next, the Bloody Soul in his hand transformed into a beam of bloody light, which shot towards one of the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters.
Although Chen Feng was still incapable of unleashing Bloody Soul’s full power, Bloody Soul itself was of a high grade. The moment Chen Feng utilized it, it radiated a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura and the devilish and overbearing impression common to demonic artefacts.
Puchi!
The lance easily pierced through one of the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters. Immediately after that, Chen Feng could feel a powerful suction force coming out from Bloody Soul as the blood essence of the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunter rapidly flowed out. In the blink of an eye, its blood had been completely drained. The Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunter who was used to draining humans of their blood was instead drained of its blood, transformed into a dried-up corpse as a result.
Shocked, Chen Feng gaped at the scene.
It was not due to Bloody Soul’s blood sucking ability. Rather, it was what happened when the bloody lance was about to strike the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunter. The ferocious demonic beast had actually flinched in obvious terror. It was that moment of hesitation which allowed Chen Feng to stab it to death.
Hu!
It wasn’t until strong winds blew against Chen Feng from every direction did he recollect himself. He understood that now was not the time to be stunned. Bloody Soul whirled in a circle around Chen Feng. After absorbing the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunter’s blood, Bloody Soul became even more violent. It felt like someone who was recovering his strength.
Sensing Bloody Soul’s aura, the group of Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters revealed looks of fear. Two of them ended up halting their advance.
Puchi! Puchi!
A series of stabbing sounds could be heard as two more Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters were stabbed in the heart.
The blood essence of two more demonic beasts was devoured and Chen Feng could feel Bloody Soul vibrating fiercely in his grip. Wave after wave of bloodthirsty thoughts assailed his sea of wisdom, causing him to enter a rampaging state.
Bang!
Suddenly, a tough fist charged out from the air to heavily smash into Chen Feng’s shoulder. Chen Feng, who had entered a rampaging state, did not avoid the attack. Although the several insight acupoints in his body had automatically opened up to exert a suction force upon it, they were still incapable of fully resolving the force invading his body.
Kacha! Kacha!
Chen Feng felt half his body going numb. He could even hear the sounds of his bones cracking coming from his shoulder.
Pu!
The might behind the punch caused Chen Feng to spray out a mouthful of blood. He quickly used Bloody Soul to stab backwards.
Unfortunately, it only stabbed thin air.
This is bad. There are Phantom Beasts hiding in the dark again. Chen Feng’s heart thumped.
For Chen Feng, facing these Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters openly was not terrifying. However, facing the cloaked Phantom Beasts that could launch a sneak attack against him at any moment was.
