"I was careless, never expected to capsize in the gutter..."
Just as Chen Feng and the Scorpion Demon were engaged in a heated battle, not far away, Tian Xuefeng was half-squatting on the ground, his face pale, with over ten thumb-sized bloody holes on his left arm, making it a grueso sight.
One could say Tian Xuefeng's left arm was already crippled. Unless treated by a legendary-level healer, the only way to survive would be amputation.
But now, it's only the early days of the apocalypse; even Golden Tier experts are rare, let alone legendary ones.
"Are you alright?"
Xu Hongzhuang stood nearby, panting heavily. Although her injuries weren't as severe as Tian Xuefeng's, her right hand trembled occasionally, clearly having just faced a dangerous battle.
Tian Xuefeng shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet. I miscalculated a bit. Who would have thought that Li Chiyu's true form was such a monster? I have to thank you; if you hadn't pulled aside, I might not have just lost an arm but my life as well."
With a sigh of relief, Tian Xuefeng spoke with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect it either. Originally I thought Li Chiyu was at the end of his rope, but he erupted at the brink of death. I was too careless." Xu Hongzhuang frowned, a hint of self-reproach in her eyes.
Around them lay nurous warriors, already dead, but their wounds were peculiar, as if impaled by a hard weapon, all internal organs destroyed. So were even halved, creating a hell-on-earth scene.
The culprit behind all this was none other than Li Chiyu!
As one of Hong Jiuling's most outstanding subordinates, Li Chiyu once held a status in the conservatives equal to Xu Hongzhuang, both existing at the Martial God level.
In fact, Tian Xuefeng and Xu Hongzhuang capturing him together was a sure thing; there were also many warriors around, and Li Chiyu couldn't stir up any trouble.
Everything went smoothly at first.
But who could have expected, just as the battle neared its end, Li Chiyu suddenly erupted, his muscles and bones cracking like firecrackers. Then his form began to transform, from a human into a creature covered in bones.
Tian Xuefeng's arm was injured by Li Chiyu, and the weapon was Li Chiyu's ten finger bones.
For ordinary people, using their own bones to harm others is self-harm, but Li Chiyu's ability is special, with bones growing indefinitely, bones like knives, moving with impunity. In Xu Hongzhuang's mont of distraction, over ten warriors were slaughtered, leaving no survivors!
It's unimaginable what kind of despair the surrounding warriors felt in such a situation.
From transformation to slaughter, Li Chiyu's speed was like lightning, like a fiery explosion; no one could react, and he orchestrated a bloody massacre.
No one could resist.
Li Chiyu's change was too fast, so fast others couldn't prepare at all, with a terrifying visage, intense aura, and an oppressive montum that instilled genuine despair.
In the end, Xu Hongzhuang, using all her strength and with multiple wounds on her body, finally managed to kill him.
Li Chiyu fell to the side, his heart pierced by a knife; from the outside, he no longer resembled a human at all. His body was cyan, with thick bones encasing his skin, especially the notably glaring right arm, about a ter long, like a giant awl; it was this weapon that he used to slaughter the participating warriors.
Bone Demon.
If Chen Feng were present, he would instantly recognize the identity!
There's only one uncertainty; whether Li Chiyu's true nature was a real Devil or a product of Hong Jiuling's modifications. In any case, with a hero template character like Xu Hongzhuang around, if it were just Tian Xuefeng, survival would be hopeless.
Yet, even so, losing an arm ans Tian Xuefeng can't dual-wield guns anymore, reducing his fighting strength by half.
So Devil figures flashed by the surroundings.
Looking at these monsters, Tian Xuefeng couldn't tell if it was from pain or shock, saying with a grave expression: "I didn't expect Chen Feng to be right; there really are monsters hidden in East Bridge. These creatures, are they the so-called Devils?"
In the new era.
Tian Xuefeng had seen many other-dinsional creatures, but compared to Devils, born with terrifying intent, those creatures were as ek as sheep.
"Hongzhuang, don't worry about , go support Elder Zhou first. I'm feeling uneasy; such monsters can't appear out of thin air. I think... they're certainly related to Hong Jiuling, Elder Zhou is in danger."
Xu Hongzhuang looked at Tian Xuefeng, opening her mouth but unable to speak. She had already suspected Chen Feng's ill intentions, and the ergence of Li Chiyu and the Devils further confird her suspicions. Though she was unwilling to admit, if all of this indeed involved Hong Jiuling, then Elder Zhou might be in grave danger.
"No need to guard , go support the Colonel and Elder Zhou first!" Tian Xuefeng and Zhou Xian had a cross-generational friendship. Although they often argued red-faced about policy differences.
This ti, during the suppression of Hong Jiuling, when everyone else remained silent, it was Zhou Xian who gave him the greatest support. One could say Tian Xuefeng had long seen him as both a teacher and a friend.
With so pain in her heart, Xu Hongzhuang didn't show it. She knew very well that sorrow wouldn't solve any problems. She first settled Tian Xuefeng and then, taking a deep breath, rushed towards the densest area of fighting.
"Hopefully... a miracle will happen." With so prayers, this might be the only thing Xu Hongzhuang could do now.
......
"Whizz!"
In this situation, Xu Hongzhuang went all out, reaching an astonishing speed. Along the way, she also slew many Devils, but the ultimate goal was still ahead. Perhaps due to getting closer, she already felt a world-shaking battle intent.
"Why is the aura so strong?"
Xu Hongzhuang reacted strongly to the aura around her, surprised but not stopping her charge. Even as a woman, she feared no enemy.
"What is that?"
Just as she drew near, a figure suddenly crashed against a wall, with dragon wings and a bloated body. At a glance, Xu Hongzhuang recognized it as Chen Feng's Summoned Beast, seemingly called an Inferior Demon.
Behind the Inferior Demon was a monster shaped like an elephant, ugly in appearance with a fierce and overwhelming aura, chasing after the Inferior Demon and swinging a punch towards its abdon.
But the Inferior Demon was not one to be trifled with; hit by this blow, its sli splattered, seemingly ready to burst at any ti. Yet, it didn't give up, ignoring the attack, enduring the blow with its body, its dozen arms stretched out and then retaliated fiercely.
Under the might of the Scorpion Demon and Inferior Demon, what are so-called warriors and professionals?
Even Xu Hongzhuang was just a slightly stronger ant.
"This... is Chen Feng's true power?"
At this mont, Xu Hongzhuang was already dumbfounded by what was happening. She achieved her current status all thanks to the unintentional guidance of Chen Feng. Toward Chen Feng, her heart was full of mixed emotions.
Gratitude, confusion, and a slight competitive spirit.
The reason the strong are different from ordinary people is that after seeing the unattainable mountain peak, the latter thinks of detouring or turning back, while the forr seeks to conquer and traverse it.
Regarding Xu Hongzhuang, she always regarded Chen Feng as a target to surpass. Although she thought it impossible in the short term, she believed that through hard work, she would eventually erge from his shadow and stand at the sa height.
But now...
When Chen Feng summoned the Inferior Demon, when the Scorpion Demon and Inferior Demon fought fiercely, only then did Xu Hongzhuang see Chen Feng's true strength.
If previously Chen Feng was like a mountain, possibly conquerable through effort, now with the Inferior Demon's presence, he transford into a vast ocean in Xu Hongzhuang's eyes, its blue expanse serene and harmonious. But beneath that blue surface lies unfathomable depths filled with incomprehensible creatures and monsters!
Undefeatable!
At this mont, Chen Feng had virtually transford into an immortal monunt, reducing Xu Hongzhuang's pride and stubbornness to nothing...
