Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Slaying the Demon Emissary, Temporary Reinforcement
[Shape-shifting Shadow Move]!
Chu Feng’s figure suddenly vanished, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a rock the size of a basketball.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng himself astonishingly appeared where the rock had initially been, just an arm’s length away from the Minister-level Wraith Demon!
He could strike it dead with just a stretch of his hand!
The effect of Shape-shifting Shadow Move was that one could choose an inanimate object and switch places with it.
The stronger one’s grasp over the essence of magic and space, the faster the casting speed, the shorter the interval between uses, and the greater the distance that could be crossed.
Wang Xue Rui had saved Chu Feng that day by using Shape-shifting Shadow Move. She chose a large piece of broken glass on the ground to swap places with her body, embraced Chu Feng, and immediately swapped back again.
Watching the Wraith Demon’s desperate figure fleeing, Chu Feng exhaled and punched into the air!
"Boom!"
A tremendous amount of scorching True Force burst forth from his fist, condensed into a bright red Fist Edge in midair, emitting a terrifying roar. It was like a fiery meteor, brutally smashing into the Wraith Demon’s back!
If this punch landed, there was an eight or nine in ten chance the enemy would not survive.
The bonus to killing power brought about by an excellent Martial Technique at peak perfection was truly horrifying!
The Wraith Demon, hearing the roar of the vibrating air behind it, turned its head to look, and the pupils in its two visible eyes instantly shrank to the size of needle points.
Danger!
Impossible to withstand!
In a moment of quick-witted desperation, the ground beneath its feet suddenly exploded, and the demon leaped forward madly like it was crazed, rolling thunderously away to a safe distance.
Though the roll was awkward, it not only dodged Chu Feng’s Fist Edge but even created some distance between them, giving the demon a sense of being out of reach.
After tumbling for a bit, the Wraith Demon leaped up agilely, pushed down the panic on its face, and while continuing to flee, looked back at Chu Feng with a face full of scorn.
It hoped to entice this human to continue the chase, but before the smile on its face could fade, it was stunned to see that the human was also smiling mockingly.
Then, that mighty Fist Edge that made the demon’s heart tremble suddenly detached from the man’s fist, roaring as it brutally struck its back!
"Boom!"
...
[Upon contact with a complete new corpse: Minister-level Bloodskin Wraith Demon, extracted Attribute Points: 5]
"Ha... Ha... You motherfucker, try running now!"
Chu Feng, gasping for breath, viciously kicked the withered demon corpse to vent his anger.
The latter’s back had been blasted open by a large hole from the Sun Destroying Heart Palm’s Fist Edge, and the powerful explosion had utterly hollowed it out.
All its internal organs and bones were charred, revealing the blackened ribs in its chest.
Wisps of blue smoke were still rising from the edges of the wound, and the unpleasant odor of burnt flesh permeated the air.
After breaking through, Sun Destroying Heart Palm gained the trait: Intermediate Break Space, combined with the trait: Primary Fist Edge, allowing the Fist Edge formed by compressing True Qi to be thrown far away.
This throw was extremely effective, taking away the Wraith Demon that ran faster than a rabbit.
But the cost was his rapidly depleting True Qi reserve.
Chu Feng looked at his pitiful 2 (25) ’Qi’ Attribute points and couldn’t help but frown.
Wind Concealment was already a large consumer of True Qi. In his effort to escape the encirclement, he kept using Wind Concealment, which caused the amount of True Qi inside his body—the number in front of the ’Qi’ Attribute in brackets on his panel—to decrease continuously.
Moreover, Sun Destroying Heart Palm, forcibly elevated to the Peak Climbing Perfection Realm, consumed even more True Qi.
This battle lasted merely a few minutes, yet it had burned through his True Qi to a dangerous edge, down to less than one-tenth.
The vortex in his Dantian was slightly unstable due to the lack of True Force, seemingly desperate to replenish it, madly drawing the qi and blood generated within his body.
There indeed was a way to recover True Force immediately—Attribute Points were like a panacea, able to be directly converted into qi and blood or True Force.
They were more direct and immediate than any medicine available on the market of Blue Star, without any restrictions or lingering effects.
Especially after reaching the current limits of the "Vitality, Energy, and Spirit" Attributes, Attribute Points could only be considered consumables for them.
The only side effect, perhaps, was that it was extremely painful for Chu Feng...
In the past, after the depletion of qi and blood or True Force, one just needed to have a full meal and a good sleep to recover most of it, without the need to spend any precious Attribute Points.
Those points, if taken out, could be used once his proficiency in Martial Techniques reached 100%, allowing him to gain the same effects and traits as a temporary boost but at half the cost!
And he would still have enough to max out Shape-shifting Shadow Move in one breath.
Sadly, the possibility of such an explosive cost-effectiveness was ruined by the bastard at his feet!
Chu Feng treasured the points, but he knew some sacrifices had to be made.
In this dangerous environment, maintaining the ability to continue fighting was the top priority, much more important than conserving Attribute Points.
With this in mind, Chu Feng used 6 Attribute Points to replenish his "Qi" Attribute to 8 (25) points.
He left 5 Attribute Points as a reserve for unexpected needs.
Upon hearing the Wraith Demon’s roar from not far away, he didn’t linger any longer, turning to leave and join up with Wang Erbao.
...
Dodging many Wraith Demons that seemed to have gone mad, he made his way to the vicinity of the cave, where a turn in the path would reveal the entrance.
Chu Feng had a deeper understanding of his own achievements—it was as if he had delivered a vicious knee to the Wraith Demons’ family jewels, causing them agony down to the bone.
All the Wraith Demons, as if crazed, were searching for him throughout hills and valleys.
The Wraith Demons patrolling the outskirts initially remained calm, but as word of what transpired in their lair spread from mouth to mouth, they too lost their composure.
One after another, with rage on their faces, they quickened their pace, and the density of their patrols suddenly increased.
All along the way, with Chu Feng’s footwork and speed, the journey was quite difficult, and he even found himself surrounded by enemies twice, barely escaping with his life by using Wind Concealment.
He also witnessed more than one tragedy of Human Race members being recaptured by Wraith Demons and brutally beaten before being dragged back to their lair.
About this, Chu Feng could only silently express his inability to assist, as repeated use of Wind Concealment had once again reduced his True Force to less than one-fifth of its capacity, just barely enough to protect himself.
"This place is too dangerous... I must rest well tonight and wait until my True Force is more abundant!"
Seeing the familiar environment, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
But as he rounded the corner, his expression suddenly changed. With a swift move, he hid behind a large rock, staring darkly at what lay ahead.
The entrance to the cave where Wang Erbao and the others were resting was now blatantly torn, with the camouflage carelessly discarded nearby.
The entrance had been significantly widened, with signs of destruction everywhere, and huge footprints covered the ground.
The dark cave entrance seemed like a monstrous beast’s mouth, and without the comfort of a temporary base, it now felt ominously dangerous.
Chu Feng stared intently at the cave entrance, his expression shifting uncertainly; he lay low behind the rock for a long while, his ears perked up, listening to the sounds around him.
Only when the light began to fade did he feel confident there were no traps around.
He cautiously approached the entrance, peering inside, his heart contracted.
The cave was filled with signs of battle, two pools of blood on the ground, and the glaringly visible long claw marks of Wraith Demons on the cave walls.
Chu Feng clenched his teeth: ’Dammit, the cave was discovered by the Wraith Demons? Has Erbao been taken away too?!’
