Inside the dimly lit factory, Chi Chen held a long knife, while Lin Bai held a gun. The two cautiously searched for the mysterious hiding place.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
In a certain part of the factory, the sound of water droplets falling to the ground echoed continuously, constantly stimulating the nerves of the two men.
"right!"
Suddenly, Chi Chen's expression turned serious. He turned around and pulled Lin Bai to his side, while simultaneously swinging his long sword in one direction.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing instantly rang out in the dimly lit factory.
"Roar!"
To Chi Chen's right, a clawed demon revealed its ferocious face.
"Is this the Claw Demon?"
Chi Chen's arms went numb as he looked at the mysterious creature with a sharp, blade-like bone spur on each of its four limbs.
At the same time, Chi Chen also judged from the collision just now that although this claw demon had not reached the Solid Mirror level, it was not far off.
Lin Bai reacted the moment Chi Chen spoke.
Lin Bai quickly created some distance, and three gunshots rang out, with three tongues of fire shooting backward toward Chi Chen's right.
The two seemed to have rehearsed this moment a thousand times, and their coordination was now extremely seamless.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Faced with the whistling bullets, the claw demon, after exchanging blows with Chi Chen, actually moved quickly and used its bone spikes to slash out, striking the bullets that were about to hit its body with extreme precision.
"Crunch, crunch!"
The claw demon retreated slightly, its eyes gleaming with an eerie green light, watching the two humans who had suddenly barged into its hiding place with great vigilance.
Although it was only a brief encounter, it still sensed a hint of threat from Chi Chen and Lin Bai.
"Lin Bai, keep some distance, don't let him get close to you!"
Chi Chen's eyes were bright. Holding a long sword, he quickly ran out. With his superior close combat skills, he was responsible for the frontal attack, while Lin Bai used pistol shooting and annihilation to find opportunities for the claw demon to attack from the side.
Faced with Chi Chen's renewed attack, the Claw Demon instantly shifted its body and charged forward at a speed no less than Chi Chen's.
"Clang!"
Chi Chen's longsword clashed with the claw demon's two bone spikes once more, producing an extremely piercing sound.
"So hard?"
Chi Chen swung his longsword continuously, like a nimble snake, sometimes attacking, sometimes defending against the extremely fast bone spikes.
The hardness of the claw demon's bone spikes exceeded Chi Chen's expectations. After the two attacked each other dozens of times in an instant, the bone spikes did not even have a single crack under Chi Chen's slashing.
"grumble!"
The claw demon let out a somewhat angry cry. It was also somewhat angry that this human, whose mental strength was obviously weaker than its own, could unleash power and speed that were comparable to its own.
"Bang bang bang!"
A short distance away, Lin Bai, who had been circling and looking for an opportunity, suddenly fired several shots, accurately blocking the claw demon's retreat path.
"Ping pong!"
At the critical moment, the Claw Demon actually landed on all fours and used the two bone spikes on its legs to block the bullets fired by Lin Bai.
It blocked it, but it didn't completely block it!
A stray bullet struck the clawed demon's torso with pinpoint accuracy.
"roar!"
The claw demon was injured and let out an extremely angry roar. Greenish blood, accompanied by a foul stench, flowed from its body and dripped onto the ground.
"Sizzle!"
Where the claw demon's blood dripped onto the ground, purple smoke rose up, and the hard floor was corroded into several large holes.
"Does its blood have such a strong corrosive effect?"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai's eyes widened in surprise. If this were to drip onto them, even with the support of their spiritual power, their bodies would not be able to withstand such corrosion.
"Sizzle!"
The claw demon's eerie green eyes were fixed on the two of them, and as its bone spikes carved a long mark on the ground, it instantly teleported away.
Moreover, the speed that the Claw Demon unleashed this time was even faster than before.
However, it was not heading towards Chi Chen in front of it, but towards Lin Bai in the distance!
Clearly, after being injured, it also learned a lesson.
He couldn't kill Chi Chen in the short term, and Chi Chen couldn't do anything to him for the time being either. But Lin Bai, who was in the distance, was the biggest threat to him at the moment.
But how could Chi Chen, who was always keeping an eye on the claw demon, let it bypass him and go to Lin Bai's side?
"Can you manage?"
Chi Chen let out a low shout, and his legs instantly exerted force, catching up with the Claw Demon in an instant.
The Claw Demon hadn't unleashed its full speed earlier, and neither had Chi Chen.
Chi Chen remained calm as he swung his long sword straight at the ugly head of the claw demon.
"grumble!"
The claw demon's movement was hindered, and it let out another helpless roar, swinging out bone spikes.
Chi Chen and the Claw Demon instantly clashed again. Inside the dilapidated factory, the sounds of metal clashing against metal echoed continuously, interspersed with occasional gunshots.
Ten minutes later, after Chi Chen and the Claw Demon clashed again, the two quickly separated.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Chi Chen's breathing became much heavier, as ten minutes of intense combat had taken a toll on him.
Although Chi Chen had fought Zhang Rong countless times in the past two months, Chi Chen knew that Zhang Rong would not really pose a threat to his life, so his mind was definitely much more relaxed than it is now.
But this battle was a life-or-death struggle between Chi Chen and the Claw Demon. Facing a Claw Demon whose spiritual power was two realms higher than his own, Chi Chen would be killed if he was not careful.
From training to life-or-death combat, even Chi Chen, whose combat ability is not weak now, still needs some experience to overcome the differences.
On the other side, the Claw Demon's aura was much weaker than before, and its body had no less than ten bullet holes.
The claw demon stared resentfully at Lin Bai, who had distanced himself from it at that moment. It was that human boy who had caused it such great harm.
However, faced with Chi Chen's extraordinary speed and strength, the Claw Demon was unable to break through the defenses Chi Chen had built and reach Lin Bai's side.
"roar!"
The claw demon roared angrily, its eerie green eyes gradually turning crimson, and its speed instantly increased by half as it charged towards Chi Chen once more.
"It's gone berserk?"
Seeing the bone spikes that had instantly reached him, Chi Chen's eyes narrowed, and he slashed upwards with his longsword without slowing down.
"Clang!"
With a sudden burst of bone spikes, the claw demon actually used its surging power to forcefully press Chi Chen's body downwards.
The sudden force made Chi Chen's arm go numb, his long sword wobbled slightly, and his knees buckled, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.
"You want to trade your life for your life?"
Chi Chen switched to gripping the sword with both hands and propped himself up again. This claw demon chose to go berserk, gaining greater power in a short time, but when the time came, it would also die from exhaustion of its power.
For newcomers like Chi Chen and Lin Bai, who are only at the Bright Lamp Realm, to be able to force a mysterious creature that vaguely showed signs of solidifying its realm to this extent within ten minutes is already a very good performance.
However, as this was their first official battle, they certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just that.
"Smack!"
Inside the factory, a snap of fingers rang out, and a small black hole instantly appeared next to the claw demon's head. In the distance, Lin Bai revealed eight white teeth. This was the moment they had been waiting for.
At the same time, Chi Chen slid, his longsword slicing through the bone spikes with a piercing sound, quickly distancing himself from the claw demon.
After all, Lin Bai's annihilation power was no joke, and it was designed to inflict serious damage on a team; Chi Chen couldn't afford to take even a hit.
"boom!!"
Then, inside the dimly lit factory, a spark appeared, followed by the deafening roar of an explosion.
"Roar!"
At the epicenter of the explosion, the claw demon's pained cry rang out.
"Is it resolved?"
Chi Chen used his long sword to block the heat wave from the explosion that was approaching him, and squinted at the firelight.
Suddenly, Chi Chen actually headed towards the still-burning flames, because there, a tattered claw demon figure was running outside.
"They're still alive?"
Lin Bai was taken aback when he saw this, and then quickly moved his body.
Chi Chen charged forward with his sword, and soon caught up with the mangled claw demon.
"Gah!"
The claw demon sensed the figure behind it and roared angrily. The next second, it deliberately severed one of its own limbs, and then with a swing of its body, highly corrosive blood splattered towards Chi Chen.
Faced with a large amount of flying green blood, Chi Chen's expression changed slightly, and he had no choice but to stop and dodge. At the same time, he also swung the long sword in his hand.
"Pfft!"
Although the severely injured claw demon sensed the long blade flying from behind, it was too late to dodge.
With a swift slash, a charred and hideous head fell to the ground.
The first battle between Chi Chen and Lin Bai has come to an end!
