Chapter 395: Forced Back
Two terrifying auras spread out, one of the sword, one of the demon.
The aura of the sword: slaughter, bloodthirst, filled with endless resentment; the aura of the demon: domineering, sinister, carrying unparalleled fury.
These two auras tore through space. The sword severed the ten sharp claws of the cat demon, continuing downward, only for the cat demon’s claws to regrow instantly. At the same time, the cat demon’s body retreated, moving with extreme speed.
“Ssshh, sshh...”
The aura that split space bloomed. The cat demon let out a sharp shriek. The demon-cloud sword struck his body, leaving a bloody gash. However, that eerie patch of blood quickly healed. Yet the cat demon’s aura was clearly weaker than before, greatly diminished. The sword’s will had invaded his body, penetrating deep into his marrow.
“A Heavenly Demon, too powerful.”
The demon sword swung down but failed to kill the cat demon. Lin Feng stared at the figure standing opposite him, a hint of regret in his eyes. His own strength was still too weak. No matter how powerful the demon sword was, it needed a strong wielder to control it. He, Lin Feng, could not fully command it. Moreover, the gap between him and the Heavenly Demon was immeasurable. Thus, this certain-kill strike was ultimately dodged by the Heavenly Demon; he had not killed it.
Qiongqi was also stunned, his eyes filled with deep disappointment. He hadn’t killed it. In the end, he still hadn’t managed to kill the cat demon.
By breaking the seal and becoming a Heavenly Demon, the Thunder Flame Cat Demon had become too strong. Qiongqi had sometimes yearned for it too—how powerful would he be if he one day became a Heavenly Demon? In the Beast Mountain Range, who would dare to stop him? He, Qiongqi, would do as he pleased, trample everything, let alone be treated as a pet and held in someone’s arms.
“Roar...” The cat demon let out a howl that didn’t sound like a cat’s cry, roaring toward the sky.
Ridiculous. He had exhausted his schemes and been extremely cautious, all for the day he could transform into a human and become a complete, whole human. But with that one sword strike from Lin Feng, his dream shattered. All his fantasies were destroyed.
He had regained the Heavenly Demon realm, but he felt no joy at all. Becoming a Heavenly Demon and reversing the seal meant that his life as a cat demon was about to end.
After this period, he would become an ordinary wild cat—no beastly nature, no fangs, just a pet too weak to be any weaker. Perhaps he would be raised by someone, or perhaps he would die.
Thinking of all that was about to happen, the cat demon’s face twisted into something terrifyingly sinister, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had destroyed both his lives: his life as a demon and the life he was about to have as a human.
“It seems this seal isn’t so easy to break.”
Lin Feng watched the cat demon’s frenzy and thought to himself. It seemed that when the cat demon transformed and broke the seal, there would be terrible consequences. Otherwise, the cat demon wouldn’t have been so cautious, always staying in his cave dwelling and only moving within a hundred-mile radius.
The sharp claws extended once more. All the terrifying aura burst forth. The cat demon wanted Lin Feng’s life. Since Lin Feng had already destroyed everything, he had nothing left to fear.
“Kill!”
Lin Feng roared. Before the cat demon could attack him, he swung his sword. A strike filled with the bloodthirsty demonic sword intent, swinging out along with the rolling demon clouds.
“Meow!”
The cat demon shrieked in return. Rolling demonic aura howled wildly, intertwining with the demon clouds. At the same time, countless lightning and flame snakes shot out from his body, blasting toward Lin Feng.
“Boom! Boom, boom!”
It was as if heaven and earth were about to explode. Between the cat demon and Lin Feng, a hurricane raged, surging with immense power.
“A Heavenly Demon is too terrifying. Even with the demon sword, I can’t kill it.”
Lin Feng clearly hadn’t expected the cat demon to break the seal and restore its Heavenly Demon strength. But since he had already made his move, there was no turning back. If he could kill it, he would. If he couldn’t, he still had to try.
If he didn’t kill the Heavenly Demon, he, Lin Feng, would die. There was no doubt about that.
Lin Feng saw the Heavenly Demon take a step forward. The rolling space exploded again. Unparalleled killing intent enveloped his body.
Lin Feng began to retreat. At the Heavenly Demon realm, if he didn’t have the demon sword in hand and the opponent had no restraints, he would probably have been killed several times over by now.
Now, even with the demon sword, it was extremely difficult for him to deal with the cat demon at the Heavenly Demon realm.
Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Demon—equivalent to a strong cultivator at the Heavenly Martial Realm. The entire Snow Moon Kingdom might not even have such a powerful existence. Lin Feng, wielding the demon sword, had managed to injure his opponent, which was already something to be proud of. Lin Feng’s will was tenacious, and he could control the demon sword, while the demon sword’s power was terrifying. That was how he had achieved what he just did.
If the cat demon hadn’t broken the seal and restored his Heavenly Demon cultivation, that one sword strike would have killed him.
Lin Feng’s pupils were icy cold. At this moment, he only knew the cat demon was powerful, but he couldn’t understand the cat demon’s fury and despair. Because of that one sword strike of his, the cat demon had set foot on a path of no return.
“Stall for time. He broke the seal and has temporary strength. Once the time passes, he will lose all his cultivation and can be killed at will.”
A voice rang in Lin Feng’s mind, making him freeze. It was Qiongqi’s voice. By controlling Qiongqi, Lin Feng could now communicate with him through their souls. Qiongqi didn’t need to speak; he could transmit his thoughts directly.
“Once the time passes, he will lose all his cultivation. So that’s it.” A glimmer of understanding appeared in Lin Feng’s icy pupils. His body continued to retreat.
“Die!” The cat demon’s demonic face twisted. Between his sharp fangs, he spat out a single word. Die. Lin Feng must die.
“Meow...”
The cat demon’s body crouched slightly. Then, his human form disappeared. What appeared before Lin Feng was a complete beast—a cat demon with flaming fur. But this cat demon’s body was larger than a lion or tiger, appearing especially bizarre.
Boundless beastly intent burst from the cat demon’s body. His claws grabbed at the void, and his body lunged forward, pouncing at Lin Feng. In an instant, he was above Lin Feng.
Lin Feng swung his sword down. The rumbling demon clouds split space. This time, the cat demon didn’t dodge. His claws directly grabbed the demon sword. On those terrifying claws, brilliant white light coiled. Those claws were countless times harder than steel, countless times sharper than ordinary swords.
Although the demon sword was caught, the demon clouds still rolled. Endless sword intent penetrated deep into the cat demon’s body, making his eyes even more bloodthirsty.
“Clang...”
A soft sound rang out. Behind Lin Feng, another shadow of a demon sword appeared, slowly rising from within Lin Feng’s body. It was shocking. The sword intent became even more terrifying.
“There’s more. Inside Lin Feng’s body, there’s another sword!”
The cat demon’s eerie pupils were filled with shock, extremely cold. One sword was already that strong. Lin Feng actually had more than one. This monster. How had he provoked such a monster?
Qiongqi was also stunned, staring blankly at the sword rising behind Lin Feng. Too shocking. Lin Feng hadn’t lied to him. Lin Feng really did have a way to deal with the cat demon. This method was so awe-inspiring that it could even handle the cat demon who had broken the seal and transformed into a Heavenly Demon.
“Rise!”
Lin Feng roared. The sword rose, shooting into the void. Terrifying demon clouds rolled, swirling around heaven and earth, incredibly powerful.
“Two demon swords now.” The cat demon’s gaze flickered. Could he deal with this?
But just as the cat demon was thinking, another wave of terrifying resentment surged out. On Lin Feng’s back, another sword slowly rose.
A third. The sword rising from Lin Feng’s back was already the third.
By now, the cat demon and Qiongqi didn’t know how shocked they were. One demon sword was already that powerful. Three demon swords—how strong would they be?
When the third demon sword soared into the sky, heaven and earth were filled only with surging demonic energy.
A look of despair appeared in the cat demon’s eyes. In fact, in despair, there was always something more despairing. A fourth sword appeared behind Lin Feng, slowly rising from within his body.
“Meow...”
The cat demon let out a long sigh toward the sky. His claws violently trembled against the demon sword. Then, his body turned into a streak of light and fled, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
He was gone. He didn’t dare to stay any longer. Although he would lose his cultivation after the time passed, at least if he lived, there was still a glimmer of hope. If he stayed, he didn’t know how terrifying the power of four demon swords would be.
PS: Flowers are honor, motivation, money, but most importantly, the affirmation of our reader brothers. Begging for flowers. Many times, I just want to see the affirmation of my brothers. It’s that simple. I know my brothers are very supportive, doing their best, whether with tips or flowers. I’ve always been grateful and moved. So I get up at six in the morning, finish a chapter, go to work, come back from work in the evening, eat, start updating, and then sleep. That’s a day. Is there any other time? No. Although my updates aren’t as good as others, I’m doing my best, right? Thank you, brothers, for your silent support all along. I also hope that shamelessly begging for flowers can help the Martial God go further.
