Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Slaying the Giant Bat Alone

Bang!

The giant demon bat ferociously collided with Chu Feng’s sword wall.

Chu Feng felt as if he had been struck by a high-speed, heavy meteorite. His heavy sword was bent out of shape, twisting like a snake. Moreover, the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers burst open, bleeding profusely.

He almost couldn’t even hold onto his sword.

This giant demon bat was terrifyingly powerful, several times stronger than ordinary blood-sucking demon bats.

After it struck the sword wall, the immense force sent Chu Feng flying backward.

"Squeak~!"

The demon bat let out a soul-shaking scream. It was extremely ferocious and valiant, and it charged at Chu Feng for another attack.

"You beast, you’re seeking death!"

Chu Feng was truly enraged. And his situation was extremely dangerous, risking death at any moment.

This giant demon bat was more formidable than he had imagined.

Aside from Zi Yan, no one else offered to help. Even Zi Yan was terribly frightened because this giant demon bat was so ferocious.

"Chu Feng, be careful!" Even though Zi Yan was extremely fearful, she still swung her sword at the giant demon bat.

As a result, the giant demon bat merely sprayed a gray Qi Arrow at her, sending her flying.

A foul wind assaulted him, overwhelming in its intensity.

Chu Feng could even see the giant demon bat’s gaping maw with rows of fine teeth, and two sharp blood-sucking fangs.

"Heavy Sword without Edge, Great Skill No Work!"

At this life-and-death moment, Abnormal Fire was no use. The only thing that could work was the Talismanic Elixir.

But Chu Feng is also a ruthless man.

With guidance from the old woodcutter, he used this life-threatening pressure to forcibly display the true technique of the Heavy Sword.

As he slashed out with his sword, at first, it was just his will to survive, forcibly summoning all the Sword Qi in his body to create a brutal force. A desperate strike.

When he slashed out with the twisted heavy sword, he seemed to grasp the knack of it.

Hips, shoulders, loins, the three united, his whole body like a great bow.

With this strike, all his strength converged in an instant, like a stream of clear water flowing toward the sword blade.

Whoosh!

Chu Feng’s sword became faster and faster, and its momentum grew more and more fierce. The sword blade cutting through the air even emitted the sound of thunder and wind.

Woo woo~!

The low sword hum sounded like a death knell tolling.

"Squeak squeak~!"

The giant demon bat, having keen sensory abilities, seemed to sense the danger and instinctively screamed. It also sprayed a very dense gray Qi Arrow from its mouth.

If one looked carefully, one could see that this Qi Arrow was forcefully condensed from three Qi Arrows.

This beast, like a Great Sword Master, condensed several Qi Arrows together to create a sword light. The tip of the Qi Arrow it sprayed even showed flickering black flames.

Boom!

In desperation, Chu Feng’s Nine Meridians Move Together, and he fiercely slashed the heavy sword onto the giant demon bat.

The first to face impact was the gray Qi Arrow clashing intensely with Chu Feng’s sword.

However, this strike from Chu Feng’s heavy sword was incredibly powerful, extremely fierce. He directly scattered the gray Qi Arrow, and with unabated momentum, fiercely slashed onto the body of the giant demon bat.

Squeak~!

It let out a sharp scream, its entire body was actually cleaved from head to tail by Chu Feng with a single sword, splitting into two halves.

Black blood splattered like raindrops.

They were like concentrated sulfuric acid, corroding immediately and emitting puffs of white smoke whether they fell on the ground or on Chu Feng’s clothes.

Chu Feng only had time to turn his head and close his eyes, trying his best not to face the horrific black blood directly.

The backs of his hands, neck, face, forehead, and other places were splattered with the black bat blood. The intense pain nearly made Chu Feng pass out.

"Terrible, I’m probably disfigured!"

As Chu Feng quickly leaped away, he didn’t think twice before immediately swallowing a Detoxification Pill. The blood-sucking bat demon was highly poisonous, and death would ensue if not detoxified promptly.

After taking the Detoxification Pill, Chu Feng clearly felt that the damage from the bat blood was diminishing.

Fortunately, not much bat blood had splashed on him, and most of it was on his clothes and sword. Chu Feng’s arms and other areas had patches of black spots, looking as though they were burned.

He didn’t mind, as these were just superficial wounds, which would heal quickly.

Once Chu Feng recovered, he focused on the giant bat demon he had killed. Its body was split in half cleanly down the middle. Its corpse lay on the ground, with black blood already staining a large patch of the soil.

"Eh, what is that?"

Chu Feng’s sharp eyes spotted a dark red bead in the middle of the bat demon’s corpse, fallen amidst the filthy blood.

He immediately went over and cautiously prodded it with his sword.

The Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword in his hand was noticeably corroded by the bat demon’s blood, indicating that the giant bat demon’s blood was more toxic than that of ordinary bat demons.

"Demon Core!"

Chu Feng, having a keen eye, finally recognized what the dark red bead was.

It emitted a chilling evil energy, cold and malevolent, with fierce evil Qi emanating.

"Master, may I take this Demon Core as a gift?" the voice of the Evil Spirit King entered Chu Feng’s Divine Soul.

"Oh, you need it?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Ordinary Demon Cores are useless to me. But this bat demon’s Demon Core is extremely wicked, perfect to aid me in evolving into the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King!"

After swallowing the Taiyin Golden Lotus, the Evil Spirit King had not yet evolved. Like human cultivation, breaking through some Great Realms is extremely difficult. Multiple aids are needed for a successful progression.

As it is Chu Feng’s servant, and it needs the Demon Core, Chu Feng is naturally very willing.

"What needs to be done?" Chu Feng asked.

"Master, you only need to wrap it up and store it inside your sleeve, then I can slowly devour and refine it," the voice of the Evil Spirit King was filled with determination. Apparently, it was very eager to advance to the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King.

Chu Feng immediately did as told.

Since Chu Feng was the one who killed the giant bat demon, the Demon Core rightfully belonged to him.

No one else spoke up, they just watched, without raising any objections.

"Chu Feng, that sword strike of yours was like divine help. That must be your actual strength, right?" Liu Qiang’s gaze was tightly fixed on Chu Feng.

Probably, the tremendous strength Chu Feng demonstrated had aroused his alertness and fear.

"Hehe, as the captain said, it was like divine help. If every one of my sword strikes had that strength, I would have ventured to the Sword Tomb alone long ago," said Chu Feng, who was an ancient freak of the Alchemy Venerate from thousands of years ago. Liu Qiang was still a bit naive trying to probe him.

"That makes sense!"

Liu Qiang was still a bit suspicious, but he did not delve further.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several figures flew swiftly and appeared in front of Chu Feng and the others. To their pleasant surprise, they turned out to be disciples from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

In this dangerous place, having one more fellow sect member meant it was doubly safe.
