Chapter 884 Returning to Fight
Chen Chuan had an inexplicable feeling at this moment, as if this demon remembered him.
Judging from the fact that the latter stopped chasing him after he reached the outside of the area, Wei Guochan and Gai Shuhe probably chose to withdraw from here for this reason.
Fighting with such an enemy not only wastes life energy but also puts their lives in danger, so they have no choice but to make such a choice.
As for why they didn't try to get rid of this demon? Well, because this kind of thing is not easy to do. If you mobilize more and stronger fighters, then Dashun will definitely not be able to remain unresponsive. In the end, no one may be able to move.
And with the resources of the old imperial family in the intersection of Jibei Road, it is probably not enough to support the long-term residence of three or more fighters.
Besides, even if these conditions were met and a more powerful person arrived, the hunting ground would have to be divided among others, and I wouldn't be able to take much. Instead of that, it would be better to maintain the current situation and wait until I was strong enough, then maybe I could fight my way back.
But they'll never have that chance.
He thought about it. Although the demon was very powerful and had certain fighting skills, it was following a fighting instinct and was not a pure fighter. Strictly speaking, it might not even be able to exert half of its strength before alienation, so it was not impossible to deal with.
He hadn't rested for several days and nights, and now he had been running all night, which consumed a lot of physical strength. He decided to rest first and make full preparations before going back.
So he returned to the sentry post on the cliff. The next batch of serious criminals had not been delivered yet, so it was still empty and quiet.
He took out all the food and high-energy nutrients he had brought with him. Of course, he didn't need to eat these since he had fresh ones, but he wouldn't waste them. In order to deal with the enemy, he needed to accumulate more energy, so he ate half of the amount that was enough for him to use for a month in one go.
The alienated tissues in his body absorbed these nutrients faster than usual because they had just sensed the danger, and stored all the excess nutrients that could not be digested.
He sat down cross-legged, slowly guiding his breathing. After more than an hour, he opened his eyes, and light overflowed from them, and the entire interior of the outpost seemed to flash.
He stood up and walked out of the outpost holding the Xuejun Sword. This time he did not let Chaoming follow him, but let it stay here.
If the other party attacks Chao Ming, he will not be able to avoid it. Although the monster may not do so because there is no threat, he does not need to take the risk.
Coming down from the sentry post, he walked back to the dense forest. He didn't feel anything unusual when he first went deeper into it, but after walking for a while,
He felt a strong spiritual power lingering around him. The owner of the spiritual power should be not far ahead. Just as he thought, the demon did not leave too far and still stayed nearby.
This time he did not avoid it, but took the initiative to move towards it.
About ten minutes later, he saw the huge demon again. It was sitting on the huge wooden stake that was broken by a hammer, with the huge hammer placed in front of it. Before he arrived, it was motionless, as if it was in silence, but when it felt him, all the eyes on its face opened, and it reached out to grab the handle of the hammer and stood up from there.
Chen Chuan thrust the Xuejun Knife into the ground and continued to walk forward, with the golden-white light on his body rising upward. This time he did not deliberately keep a distance, but continued to move closer to the opponent.
He walked neither fast nor slow, and soon he was within the dangerous distance. With a bang, the hammer from the opposite side came towards him, but he just took a step to the side and dodged it.
At this moment, the densely packed eyes on the demon's face looked at him again, and at the same time a strange power was released.
This time he was prepared. After sensing the signs, the spiritual fire suddenly surged outward to fight against it. The force only suppressed the golden-white light on his body surface, but did not completely eliminate it. As long as he had this layer of protection, his movements would not be restricted.
So when he faced the sledgehammer that was swinging towards him sideways, he simply bent down, and the huge shadow passed over his head with a fierce wind pressure, but just when the hammer was about to reach behind him, it stopped.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and his body didn't move at all. He just tapped the ground with his toes and swept to the side. With a bang, the sledgehammer suddenly changed its direction in the middle of the journey and fell down, hitting the place where he was originally standing. The soil and rocks there shot out like an explosion.
He was in mid-air, thinking calmly. He thought that the fact that he could control such a large body so freely must be the result of the body's previous training. This person's extraordinary appearance had been cultivated to a very deep level.
But instinct is just instinct after all. It can be quite brilliant and delicate in tactics, but if it is magnified to the entire battle situation, it may not be the same.
His body, which had not yet touched the ground, flipped sideways. After his feet touched the ground, he pressed his center of gravity forward nimbly and stomped hard. Before the sledgehammer could be taken back by the opponent, he was wrapped in a ball of golden-white flames and rushed to the front of the demon in an instant, kicking him on the ankle!
With a bang, the blue-red light collided with the spiritual fire at the front of his feet and then exploded violently. However, this time he was fully prepared, so the highly concentrated spiritual power immediately tore open the cover in front and kicked the target. As the force rushed in, the armor formed by the alienated tissue there exploded instantly, and the huge body of the demon staggered, and the center of gravity shifted.
Chen Chuan pointed his toes, flew into the air, and with a sideways somersault, he used the force of his rotation to kick again, this time directly at the side of his knee.
Another scalp-bursting explosion was heard, and the demon's already unstable body seemed to be pushed hard by someone. With a loud bang, it involuntarily half-knelt forward, and the hammer slammed to the ground with a thud, supporting itself.
Originally, this was a perfect moment to pursue the victory, and perhaps he could take advantage of the situation to attack the important parts above the neck, but Chen Chuan did not continue. Instead, he jumped back after landing. A long arm swept down from above, passing over the afterimage he left in the original place, and tore a deep gully on the ground, and the soil inside rolled out and scattered.
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that as the demon half-bent forward, more than a dozen arms of different lengths on his back and sides were all pointed in his direction, covering his head, face and other important parts.
He knew that the chance to continue the attack was gone, so he simply retreated a little, while looking towards the place he had just attacked.
Although there was an explosion there, the impact seemed to be limited, because after the alienated tissue on the outside was broken, there was still a thin layer of spiritual fire inside. This caused the force that he wanted to penetrate into it to be blocked a lot, and it did not cause more damage.
If it weren't for this, according to his prediction, the concentrated burst of energy that consumed a lot of energy could have kicked the opponent directly to the ground.
This is the power of the strange phase. It mainly focuses on the physical body. After practicing to a certain level, some people can build multiple layers of spiritual fire defense inside and outside. With this effective buffer, it is enough to resist strong attacks from the outside.
In this case, unless the attacker can penetrate his double or multiple layers of defense in one go, it will be difficult to cause sufficient and effective damage to him.
After the demon ghost stabilized his body, he exerted force with his feet and back at the same time, lifted up the sledgehammer, rushed towards Chen Chuan, and swung the sledgehammer at the latter.
This attack seemed no different from the previous ones, but Chen Chuan noticed something strange in his footsteps, as if... his center of gravity was a little too forward?
Just as he was thinking this, the huge body suddenly leaped forward in the direction of the sledgehammer's fall, and covered him completely. After seeing it, he immediately dodged sideways, and just managed to escape from there. There was a loud bang of a heavy fall from the side, and just as it landed, it rolled towards him again, and the huge body actually crushed towards him!
This attack can be said to have fully utilized the advantages of the body. Even if a fighter who cares about his appearance can do so, he will rarely use it in actual combat. However, the demon ghost obviously did it without any scruples, and it was indeed very useful because he had multiple arms behind his back, which were enough to form an effective offensive at close range.
Facing the fierce attack, Chen Chuan stretched out his body, leaning back, and then stretched out one hand and pressed on the ground.
With a loud bang, a hole suddenly exploded there, and his whole body rose up, rising more than ten meters in an instant, while his huge body rolled past underneath.
After he rolled halfway, the arms tried to grab him from the air. However, as he reached the sky, a ball of light gathered in his palms and instantly shot out, colliding with the arms and blasting them apart. One of the shorter arms was directly blown into several pieces. He then curled up into a ball, rolled several times, and finally landed steadily.
Without waiting for the demon to stand up, he spread his feet apart, lowered his center of gravity, and light condensed in his hands again. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly pushed forward!
At such a close distance, the demon had almost no way to escape. A strong and dazzling light suddenly erupted in front of him, and he didn't wait for the result to appear in front. The platinum light on his body floated, and he had already torn through the atmosphere and the surface in front of him, and rushed up again with a strong momentum!
