Chapter 66 One-Sword Kill
Chapter 66 One-Sword Kill
Having rescued Qing Gui and the mercenaries, Yu Jing reappeared before Yu Mo.
Having just recovered from his injuries by devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, the Rain Demon stood up and looked at the limbs and broken arms scattered all over the dance floor. The periosteum on both sides of his cheeks spread out like a king cobra when it encounters an enemy, revealing the ferocious face beneath, trying to intimidate Yu Jing.
Yu Jing refused to give up easily.
The remaining low-level monsters in the guesthouse can be dealt with by the Blue Oni and the mercenaries; at the very least, it will buy them some time.
In other words, he is now fighting one-on-one with the monster in front of him!
Seeing that its recent injuries had healed almost completely in such a short time, Yu Jing knew that this guy must have considerable skills to have managed to hold out against the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations until now. Without underestimating its opponent, he decisively channeled his spiritual energy into the Bone Sacrifice Short Sword.
The resentment crystal embedded in the hilt emitted a light purple light that flowed across the blade, activating the ethereal blade effect.
At this moment, the Rain Demon had already realized that the man in front of it was fundamentally different from its previous prey, especially the short knife in the other's hand, which was transmitting a psionic energy reaction that made it extremely uneasy.
Without a word, the moment their eyes met, the battle suddenly erupted.
The Rain Demon swung its claws at Yu Jing's head, only to be met with a sharp bone sacrificial dagger. It hastily withdrew its hand but still had two fingers sliced off. The intense pain drove it mad, and its rationality was gradually replaced by madness. It used all its strength to launch a fierce attack.
Admittedly, the fully unleashed Yu Mo is superior in both strength and speed.
But who could blame Yu Jing for having the Bone Sacrifice Short Sword that could easily break through its defenses?
Just as a mercenary can withstand and kill low-level monsters head-on after obtaining the Black Iron Bracers, this extraordinary weapon's enhancement of Yu Jing's combat power is no less than that of a personal specialty!
Rain Demon's powerful body, capable of rapidly recovering from even gunshot wounds as long as it has flesh to replenish itself, is completely unable to repair the psionic damage caused by the ethereal blade. As a result, it is forced to dodge most of the time, even when it gains the upper hand.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to engage Yu Jing in the living room, relying on his gliding ability to fly back and forth like a bat in the relatively spacious area, attempting to wear down the former's stamina and concentration through a fast-paced attack, thus creating favorable conditions for his own offensive.
However, as time goes by...
Rain Demon discovered that Yu Jing was not only not worn down by the protracted battle, but was also getting more and more energetic as the battle progressed. In fact, the gap between the two sides in terms of strength and speed was being rapidly narrowed.
The reason for this is simple: the level 2 feat "Untamed Beast" has kicked in!
The fierce battle awakened the bestial instincts within Yu Jing. He could clearly feel a surge of heat coursing through his limbs and bones—a wild power from the depths of his bloodline. More importantly, compared to before, he began to become familiar with and master this power.
As it turned out, Yu Jing's previous choice was correct. Although the [Untamed Beast] was of low quality, it consumed less soul fire to upgrade, which helped Yu Jing to unleash enough combat power to fight against monsters in a short period of time.
A continuous series of clashes and attacks.
Yu Jing suffered multiple injuries, with two bloody scratches on his right shoulder from sharp claws. The Rain Demon was in no better shape; the wounds inflicted by the Bone Sacrifice Dagger all over its body had not yet healed, and the violent movements caused its blood to continuously splatter onto the floor of the guesthouse.
But at this crucial moment when the fierce battle was raging, Yu Jing, who was completely focused, heard Qing Gui's anxious shouts.
"Yu Jing, be careful... Look at the wall next to you, there's a spatial anomaly!"
What happened to the wall next to us?
Having repelled the rain demon's attack once again, Yu Jing hurriedly turned to look at the wall of the guesthouse.
His expression changed drastically at just one glance, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
The walls of the entire guesthouse appeared to be soaked by rain, with a layer of gray water ripples on them. The colored light projected from the ceiling lights was distorted by some invisible force if you got too close.
An even stranger situation occurred in the area of the guesthouse facing the kitchen.
The sofa that was originally there had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a large number of piled-up mutilated corpses that were faintly visible in the shadows of the corner. Among the scattered blood and flesh, there were more than a dozen oval-shaped egg-like objects with flower buds at the top, as if they could "bloom" at any moment.
How did the guesthouse suddenly become like this?
"Narrow spaces...this guesthouse is being eroded by narrow spaces!"
Realizing a possibility, the mercenary raised his shield to deflect the monster that lunged at him, shouting loudly.
"We must leave immediately, or we'll be trapped and die in this crevice by these monsters!"
The mercenary didn't know why the narrow space had appeared here.
It should be noted that he and Qing Gui had already checked the area around the guesthouse as soon as they arrived, and found no unusual spatial phenomena. Otherwise, they would have contacted the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation to have them handle the situation.
The situation before him forced him to believe it.
What's more troublesome is that dragging it out any longer will only do them harm.
Yu Jing raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with dark green light as he secretly gathered power.
Looking up at the rain demon hanging upside down from the ceiling, a rather human-like, mocking smile appeared on its skeletal face.
"Take Sammi Cheng's body and go!"
At this moment, the narrow space was not yet fully formed, and there was still a chance to escape. Yu Jing decisively retreated, swung his knife to kill a monster that was entangled with the Green Ghost, and then went to pick up the commission target not far away.
Having finally managed to stall until the narrow opening appeared, the rain demon was not about to give him a chance to escape. However, its weakened state prevented it from charging recklessly. So it swung its claws to cut the cable connecting the light bulb to the ceiling, grabbed it, spun around, and accelerated, throwing it like a shot put towards the window, trying to block their escape route and buy time.
Almost at the same time it took action.
Yu Jing, who was retreating just a second ago, suddenly turned around and launched a charge.
Its speed increased dramatically in a short time, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to the foot of the rain demon who was playing shot put.
Raise your head to lock onto the target, then bend your knees to prepare for the move, compressing your leg muscles to their limit like springs.
If someone were to get closer for a closer look, they would discover that the stretched-out trouser legs were full of bluish-gray hair.
That's right. At this moment, Yu Jing not only activated his beast form, but also used the new ability he gained after upgrading [Untamed Beast] for the first time. He concentrated a large amount of beastly factors in his legs, causing them to undergo controllable limb mutation, thereby gaining explosive superhuman speed!
The rain demon in mid-air was completely unaware of this, immersed in the joy of winning the hunt.
As soon as he threw the light bulb toward the window, Yu Jing's face suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Its dark green, ferocious eyes, filled with savagery and ferocity, stared intently at it, its upturned lips revealing sharp canines.
"Fool, you've fallen into the same trap twice. Who else but you is going to die?"
The bone-sacrificing short sword slashed horizontally through the air.
The enormous head of the rain demon rolled to the ground, gushing out blood!
