Chapter 229: Chapter 108 Immortal Body! Blade Nurturing Art!_1
Su Changkong swung his fist to smash it open, but the severed arm, with nimble movements, spiraled away, avoiding Su Changkong’s heavy punch and stabbing viciously into his right chest.
“Hiss!”
And then those five sharp nails swelled and became as sharp as daggers and blades, impregnable, and they actually pierced into Su Changkong’s Turtle Breathing Qi Armor, penetrating it and slashing downward with force!
Su Changkong felt a pain in his chest, staggered backward, and saw that his right chest now had five claw marks deep enough to reveal bone, each about a foot long, from which blood dripped!
Almost simultaneously, Su Changkong and Gong Ba, these two great experts, faced this attack that was so bizarre it defied common sense, both sustained injuries and were covered in blood.
After their successful strike, the severed head and arm did not pursue further, but instead quickly retracted, flying toward the body of Feng Mo from which they had been severed.
“Whoosh!”
The head and arm reattached to Feng Mo’s body, and at the site of the severed wounds, the flesh squirmed and grew rapidly, and after a short time, even the wounds vanished, leaving only shallow scars, as good as new!
“Don’t you know… a true Demon Monster possesses an Immortal Body?”
A raspy and triumphant laughter rang out. Feng Mo stood up from the ground, moving his neck and arms, making ‘crack crack’ sounds.
Gong Ba involuntarily stepped back, his eyes filled with terror: “Monster… a true monster!”
“The head was chopped off, and it could be reattached?”
Even Su Changkong, who had weathered many storms, struggled to believe it while feeling the pain from his chest.
A severed arm and head being able to move independently, harm the enemy, and even reattach to the body was utterly beyond ordinary understanding, something Martial Artists could not achieve no matter how they trained!
“Demon Monster… possesses an Immortal Body? And wields Demon Arts!”
Su Changkong felt a numbing and burning sensation from his chest and was also taken aback.
According to legend, Demon Monsters were undying and difficult to kill, and they possessed strange Demon Arts!
All these ideas were confirmed by the ‘Feng Mo’ before them.
To be beheaded and not die, and to have arms and heads that could still move freely and attack enemies even after being detached from the body was simply beyond comprehension!
Gong Ba’s arm had been torn to shreds, with blood flowing freely, and Su Changkong had five deep bone-revealing wounds on his right chest. Both had suffered injuries at the same time and were now on high alert.
“He… is he the murderer who killed Father?” Both Sikong Siblings felt a numbness on their scalp, realizing that the killer of Sikong Yong was not a human! And it wasn’t that Sikong Yong wasn’t strong enough; rather, the opponent was far too terrifying, a true Demon Monster that could not be killed even by fatal wounds!
Both Su Changkong and Gong Ba felt an unprecedented amount of pressure and threat, realizing that this Demon Monster Feng Mo was the strongest enemy they had ever encountered!
But unexpectedly, Feng Mo, who had the upper hand, did not continue his attack.
“Crack crack crack!”
On the contrary, a series of crisp bone noises came from Feng Mo’s body, and the scales also began to vanish, with him reverting back to his original appearance of a hunched old man.
Feng Mo yawned, looking exceptionally tired: “Being old, I feel tired just from a little activity after a meal.”
“Heh heh! Let’s stop here for today. I’ve slept too long over the years. Once I’ve digested a bit and reached my peak state, I’ll come find you, delicious food… should be saved for later!”
Feng Mo gave Su Changkong and Gong Ba a glance, chuckled twice, and did not continue his assault. Instead, his figure flashed, moving like a bat among the tree crowns, leveraging his way through the encircling crowd, and vanished from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.
“He left?”
This scene left everyone astonished.
Feng Mo clearly had the upper hand, yet he did not continue to attack, but instead left immediately after dropping a couple of lines.
“Not right… Feng Mo most likely wasn’t in a good state and couldn’t engage in a prolonged battle, which is why he left so soon after making his move,” they quickly realized, their expressions changing.
A Demon Monster could not possibly possess a truly Immortal Body; otherwise, this world would have long become one ruled by Demon Monsters!
And for some reason, this Feng Mo must be quite weakened, which likely explains why he was unwilling to entangle any further with Su Changkong and Gong Ba, merely striking to intimidate them before withdrawing immediately.
Even though they came to their senses, Feng Mo had already disappeared without a trace, and given the combat abilities and eerie tactics just displayed by Feng Mo, it was hard to predict who would win or lose even if they caught up and fought desperately!
“Is this a real Demon Monster? Completely beyond ordinary people’s understanding…” As the searing pain from the wounds on his chest persisted, Su Changkong’s expression was more solemn than ever.
Although Feng Mo had departed, he claimed to have committed their scents to memory, and would seek them out again!
One could imagine, if Feng Mo was indeed weak and unable to sustain battle now, how much more terrifying would he be when he recovered to his peak?
Su Changkong felt an unprecedented sense of crisis welling up inside him, understanding that Feng Mo would likely seek him out, and be far stronger than at this moment!
“Gang Leader Sikong, it looks like we won’t be getting much sleep tonight, eh!” Gong Ba said to Su Changkong with a bitter smile.
Who could have imagined that the Demon Monsters they faced before were not true Demon Monsters, but rather just Monster Servants, and that Feng Mo was the true lurking Demon Monster in Ink Forest Prefecture City, terrifying beyond common expectation.
“Hmm.” Su Changkong, weighed down by heavy thoughts, did not say much, but simply nodded, “Commander Gong, I’ll take my leave now, let’s keep in touch if there’s any news.”
