Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Monsters Can Die Too

Boom!!

Chen Feng, with his mind set, was focused and calm.

Another clash of fists; facing the murderous intent of the black-robed monster, he no longer continued dodging.

He looked straight into those blood-red eyes, seemingly with vertical pupils.

With the light from the surrounding streetlamps, Chen Feng could roughly make out the face under the hood.

A human face, but the skin was bluish-black, as if a layer of scales intermittently appeared.

Moreover, the slightly opened mouth of the opponent actually had a thin, snake-like tongue, slowly flickering.

"A snake-man?"

The thought surfaced abruptly, such a bizarre, inhuman scene took Chen Feng by surprise.

Could there actually be creatures other than humans in this world?

Or is this, in fact, a human?

Swoosh!

Without waiting for him to figure out the answer, he saw the black-robed snake-man move suddenly, transforming into a blur as he charged over.

Thud!!

With his arms before him, Chen Feng’s figure once again retreated several steps, blocking the whip kick from the opponent.

His skin felt a sting, and his arms were slightly numb.

The rapid approach of tap-tap-tap footsteps indicated that the black-robed snake-man was striking again.

Without needing a detailed look, under his perception, all movements were accurately captured.

The understanding of Control Level Sandboxing flooded his mind; he slightly retreated his step and dodged with a Swinging Punch.

Swoosh!

The wild arm pierced the air, stirring a gust of wind that buzzed his clothes.

Immediately after, without waiting for Chen Feng to react.

A whip kick swept across, with a fierce aura slicing through the air.

Just as the kick was about to connect with his head, the secrets of Flame Tiger Stance brought inspiration.

Tiger Form; the Red Tiger crouched.

In the blink of an eye, the body crouched down, the center of gravity sinking.

The whip kick grazed past the scalp, and in the instant the black-robed snake-man stood on one leg, Chen Feng’s eyes were dazzlingly bright.

An opening!

With a cold shout in his heart, he clenched his right fist, strength quickly converging.

Muscles piled up, veins prominently revealed.

His stout right arm was coiled at his waist, then, with a twist of his lower back, he suddenly lunged forward with a Chong Quan.

Boom!!!

A Blast Punch, swift, accurate, and ruthless, directly hit the black-robed snake-man’s head.

The blast of air exploded, shaking the atmosphere.

Visibly, the snake-man’s head twisted awkwardly, having taken a severe blow.

Seeing this, Chen Feng’s eyes shone fiercely, knowing the attack was effective, he immediately had no further hesitation.

Abruptly, the left fist shot out.

Boom!

The right fist!

Boom!

Punch after punch!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The muffled sounds continued to rise, incessant.

Even until now, perhaps due to the enhancement of his constitution,

Chen Feng could feel that, in a short time, the frequency with which he could use Blast Punch had also gradually increased, enough for him to unleash a barrage of Bombardment Punches!

In the blink of an eye, the black-robed snake-man was hit by one punch after another to the head, his body wobbled as if stunned, staggering back and forth, forgetting to resist.

For a full half minute.

The muffled sounds of fists striking flesh echoed endlessly in the night, and the sound-activated lights of the surrounding residential areas quickly lit up.

Boom!!!

In the midst of punches, sweat mixed with blood, exploding and splattering under the light and shadows.

Until the end, another muffled sound rose.

It was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

The body of the black-robed snake-man jolted and suddenly fell backward.

Thud!

The heavy sound of falling echoed, Chen Feng’s arms drooped powerlessly, with not even a hint of relaxation in his eyes.

Sweat slid down his forehead, his chest heaving like a bellows.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Heavy breaths, this was the first time Chen Feng truly felt his physical strength reach its limits.

A series of reckless Blast Punches, exerted too fiercely, led to his arm muscles aching with a sour swelling, unable to be lifted again.

So....

"Is it dead?"

Breathing slightly slowed, Chen Feng believed that his Perception wouldn’t deceive him.

He fixed his gaze, the Black Robed Snake Man’s vertical pupils dilated, its rigid head already deformed and twisted, skin split open, muscle torn and bones showing through white.

A large pool of blood spilled out, darkening the color of the black hood even further, forming a blood stain on the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Feng’s expression relaxed slightly, and he finally let out a reluctant sigh of relief.

Huff! Huff!

After a few more seconds of heavy breathing, he gradually steadied himself, alleviating some of his fatigue and pressure.

He glanced left and right at the street, surveillance cameras were rare near the run-down neighborhood, and this spot just happened to be a blind spot.

He shook his head, dismissing his thoughts.

Chen Feng roughly pieced together his encounters before and after.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this Black Robed Snake Man creature must have been hiding nearby.

The barbecue stall owner, Zhao Guoqiang, who disappeared two days ago, might have something to do with this Snake Man.

And even the body of the drunkard in the alley from earlier, it’s very likely the work of this Snake Man.

"Not right...."

Suddenly, Chen Feng recalled the conversations he overheard on the bus a few days ago, as well as the news he searched for at the time.

Bodies without organs also appeared in Little Stone Street.

That place is twenty kilometers away from here, a suburban area of Nanjiang City.

He found it hard to believe that the Black Robed Snake Man would move back and forth between the two places.

"So, either that body wasn’t killed by this monster."

"Or.... is there a second Snake Man?"

His gaze sharpened, Chen Feng had a strong intuition that the second guess might be more likely.

Suddenly, a chill went down his spine.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings.

After observing in all directions for a few seconds, there was no malice in his Perception.

Assured it was safe, he barely relaxed.

"It seems, this is the only one here...."

Once again looking at the Snake Man’s corpse on the ground, Chen Feng planned to leave the place.

But then, he thought again.

Leaving such a corpse here, it would definitely attract attention tomorrow.

If this Snake Man truly had accomplices, it might lead them to him for revenge and retribution.

With a slight frown, Chen Feng was at a loss.

"How should I wrap this up?"

Just one Snake Man had left him exhausted to the brink, barely managed to handle it.

If there were indeed several accomplices, he would definitely be no match.

With that thought, Chen Feng eventually took out his smartphone.

He entered the emergency number for the Security Bureau.

But then, after some thought, he stopped.

He was uncertain about the attitude of the Security Bureau.

This was completely different from the incident of subduing Zhao Jin before; after all, he had killed a human being.

Despite some snake-like features, the face and other limbs were, undeniably, human in appearance, which he could not deny.

With that in mind, he hesitated for a moment and eventually opened the chat interface of the messaging app, clicking on a person’s chat box.

[Cao Tong]

After some deliberation, Chen Feng felt that he better seek help from the Martial Arts Hall first.

After all, it was a force with a legacy from a Martial Arts Sect, and Cao Tong and others also seemed to be much stronger than this Snake Man.

Perhaps, he might know something about what’s going on, or even help to back him up.

With a clear mind, Chen Feng input his message into the chat box.

"Coach Cao, are you asleep yet?"

Buzz buzz!

The phone vibrated, and Cao Tong replied almost in an instant.

[Cao Tong: Not yet, what’s up?]

"Have you ever seen a human-like snake?"

As the message was sent, Chen Feng quickly took a photo of the Snake Man’s corpse with his phone and sent it over.

The next second.

Buzz buzz!

[Cao Tong: ???]
