A loud clang echoed as Xiao Yefeng's forearm collided with that of the other person. Indeed, this person's muscles were as solid as metal, and the recoil forced Xiao Yefeng to retract his leg immediately. The other person also pulled back their arm, letting out low growls.
Faced with this person's attack, Xiao Yefeng chose to meet force with force. He aimed to pull off the black hood, channeling his Golden Cyan energy through his hands. Utilizing some techniques from Intercepting Finger, he continuously struck at the person's head. However, it was quite awkward for him since the individual was always crouched on the ground. To land a hit, Xiao Yefeng had to bend down, which made it difficult for him to exert force.
Fortunately, Xiao Yefeng's lowered stance allowed him to lessen the height of his movements. With a thrust of Intercepting Finger, a beam of Golden Cyan Light shot towards the person's head like a sword strike. Just at that critical moment, Yuan Dui made a swift gesture with his hand, prompting the person to roll away and evade the strike while Qi hit the brim of their hood.
As the hood slipped off, a typical Westerner appeared before Xiao Yefeng. However, this Westerner was covered in yellow and black patterns, and their body hair had grown long enough that one might mistake them for a tiger at first glance.
"A Beastman?" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed in shock.
"Do you think you're not a Beastman now?" Yuan Dui sneered.
"At least I still have my sanity. How did this person end up like this?" Xiao Yefeng pointed at the Beastman.
"Weren't you told they were failures?" Yuan Dui replied nonchalantly.
Their conversation did not hinder Yuan Dui from controlling the Beastman to attack Xiao Yefeng. Suddenly, the Beastman stood upright, and a faint Aura glimmered on its tiger-like paws. It executed a standard Black Tiger Heart-Piercing move, its claws slicing through the air towards Xiao Yefeng's chest.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng realized that this humanoid tiger was nothing more than a Walking Corpse. Given Yuan Dui's control over it, it was akin to manipulating a Living Corpse. With no patience left for this situation, Xiao Yefeng moved his feet in a way that gave Yuan Dui the illusion he was advancing while actually shifting sideways.
"Break!"
Dashing to the side of the Beastman, Xiao Yefeng jabbed his finger beneath its right arm. This spot connected to key meridians on the right side of the body and was one of its vital points. His sharp fingernail pierced through the Beastman's skin; with a quick hook of his finger, he severed that meridian.
The instant the meridian snapped, the Beastman became partially paralyzed. Following this, Xiao Yefeng delivered a kick to its neck; there was a sharp crack as its cervical vertebrae broke, causing its head to tilt awkwardly to one side. The Beastman was severely injured, and Yuan Dui looked on in surprise. He hadn't expected Xiao Yefeng to be so fast or to maintain his sanity after such an extended battle while sustaining Beastification for so long.
Xiao Yefeng's kick shattered the neck bone, but he knew that if this were a Living Corpse, it wouldn't be enough. With that thought, Xiao Yefeng shifted his foot to aim at its Non-Entry Point. Just like Jin Ling, if this were a Living Corpse, a single jab would surely turn it into a pool of blood.
With a swipe of his thumb, blood oozed from his middle and index fingers. Then, Xiao Yefeng pointed at the Non-Entry Point. At that moment, Yuan Dui swung his Black Sword, intercepting Xiao Yefeng's strike and saving the Beastman. Seizing the opportunity, the freed Beastman twisted its already broken neck back into place.
Turning its head, the Beastman lunged at Xiao Yefeng again. This time, its right hand was clearly ineffective, but it could still attack. The severed tendons merely weakened its strength; this was a Living Corpse—devoid of pain and life, a standard killing machine.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Xiao Yefeng couldn't afford to take the hit. He retreated a few steps to relinquish the position of attack. Then, as Yuan Dui thrust his sword forward with diminished strength, Xiao Yefeng lowered his head and charged directly into Yuan Dui's chest. In one swift motion, he reached for Yuan Dui's torso, mirroring the Beastman's earlier assault on him.
However, Yuan Dui was not Xiao Yefeng; he lacked the resilient skin granted by genetic enhancement. Xiao Yefeng's claw tore through Yuan Dui's shirt and left a deep gash on his chest that exposed bone. Blood gushed out in torrents; this strike was lethal. Yuan Dui never expected Xiao Yefeng to launch such a surprise attack.
Despite being wounded in the chest, Yuan Dui refused to be outdone. With his left hand forming a seal, the Beastman bit down hard on Xiao Yefeng's waist. Perhaps Beastification truly allowed Gene Warriors to possess beast-like abilities; a row of jagged teeth sank into Xiao Yefeng's side, blood flowing from the corners of the Beastman's mouth.
Xiao Yefeng felt the bite but didn't care; after all, his genetically enhanced muscles had an extraordinary healing ability. Seizing the moment when Yuan Dui could not swing his sword with his right arm, Xiao Yefeng swiped with his nails and severed Yuan Dui's right arm. Blood sprayed out like a fountain as Yuan Dui collapsed. Quick as lightning, Xiao Yefeng grabbed the severed arm and pulled out Yuan Dui's Black Sword, sweeping it toward the Beastman.
Without Yuan Dui's control, the Beastman was left with only its instinctual attacks as a Living Corpse. It lived on blood and cared little for anything else; now biting into Xiao Yefeng's waist, blood flowed down its throat—this was dragon liver and phoenix marrow! However, sensing danger made the Beastman loosen its grip and recoil slightly. Yet greed compelled it to drink in more blood, proving that there would be consequences.
The Black Sword lived up to its reputation for sharpness; with one sweep of its blade, it cut through the Beastman's waist. Just as Xiao Yefeng had imagined, only black Talisman Water seeped out. The Beastman's instinct to fight back kicked in as it pushed off the ground with its legs and lunged at Xiao Yefeng with claws extended and bloody fangs aimed at his throat. Despite suffering severe injury to his waist, Xiao Yefeng pressed down on the wound with his left hand while channeling spiritual energy into his right hand holding the Black Sword. The sword shimmered brightly.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng kicked against the Beastman's chest to deflect its attack before swiftly stabbing it in the abdomen with the sword. The blade sliced through tough skin effortlessly, pulling forth streams of black Talisman Water as it withdrew. A large amount of Talisman Water flowed out until finally, the Beastman collapsed. Unlike Jin Ling, however, without pure Yang Blood purification, the Beastman's body did not dissolve into blood.
Meanwhile, Yuan Dui had managed to struggle back to his feet. Looking at the fallen Beastman and the blood-soaked Xiao Yefeng before him filled him with despair. Yet Yuan Dui was not one to give up easily; even so, he showed no intention of surrendering. With his left hand smeared in his own blood, he drew a Spell on his forehead. Realizing what Yuan Dui was doing made Xiao Yefeng understand that he was preparing to turn himself into a Zombie out of fear that his soul would be captured after death.
Seeing this situation unfold, Xiao Yefeng could not allow him to succeed. He swung his Black Sword like a streak of light aimed directly at Yuan Dui’s throat; he needed to kill him before Yuan Dui offered up his soul to prevent it from being obliterated after death.
As he watched the familiar Black Sword rushing toward him like an arrow aimed at his throat amidst blood and grime on his face, Yuan Dui smiled despite everything and said: "You are quite impressive. I admit defeat; however, you will not extract any information from me."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Black Sword pierced through Yuan Dui's throat like a rainbow cutting through the sky. Yuan Dui fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut. However, Xiao Yefeng heard a sound akin to metal clashing.
"Clang~"
With that metallic sound, Xiao Yefeng realized he was a step too late. Clearly, Yuan Dui had already completed the offering of his soul while speaking. The sound was the result of the Jumping Corpse's ability; his throat had become as tough as metal. Yet, the material of the Black Sword was unknown, as it had directly penetrated the Jumping Zombie's throat. Although it was not fatal, Yuan Dui was now rendered completely useless—unable to speak and unable to be bound by soul capture after death.
Despite the regret, Xiao Yefeng sighed and approached Yuan Dui. Looking at Yuan Dui's body pinned to the ground, still twitching, he dipped his finger in a bit of blood from his waist and drew a cleansing talisman and a thunderfire talisman on Yuan Dui's forehead. As he withdrew the Black Sword, Yuan Dui's body ignited in Symbol Fire. The Zombie had to be burned; otherwise, there would be no way to dispel it.
Yuan Dui turned to ashes, and the two Walking Corpses he had created were also instantly engulfed in Symbol Fire. This was due to the talismans Yuan Dui had placed on them; when their master died, the Walking Corpses had to accompany him in death. This was the fate of a Sorcerer who had fallen into the Demonic Path.
Meanwhile, Mo Fei and Thompson were taken aback as their opponent suddenly burst into flames. Mo Fei quickly realized that Xiao Yefeng had defeated Yuan Dui. Since Thompson was not far away, Mo Fei immediately turned his attention toward him. Although Thompson did not understand why his brother was engulfed in flames, he could guess somewhat what had happened. Just then, Mo Fei's Blade came at him, and Thompson shifted his Blood Energy to block Mo Fei's strike.
It was strange how they had just been allies fighting against a common enemy, but now they were foes. Thompson figured out which Eastern Sorcerer had lost; however, he also realized that Xiao Yefeng would soon be free to assist him. Although this knife-wielding Eastern man was not his match, Thompson knew he could not deal with him immediately without risking being cornered by Xiao Yefeng.
With that thought in mind, Thompson gritted his teeth and declared, "Haha, you’re dead for sure! Witness my Bloodline Secret Technique—Blood Bat Embrace!"
In an instant, Thompson's Blood Energy transformed into countless Blood Bats with sharp fangs that showcased their terrifying nature. However, as these Blood Bats appeared, Thompson's face turned pale. At this moment, Mo Fei could no longer afford to observe Thompson’s expression because the swarm of Blood Bats was already attacking him. His twin blades spun like windmills as he swiftly sliced through countless Blood Bats that approached him, shredding them into wisps of Blood Energy.
Just then, Xiao Yefeng arrived on the scene and saw Mo Fei under attack; however, he also noticed that Thompson was attempting to flee. Now faced with a choice, Xiao Yefeng could either help Mo Fei fend off the Blood Bat assault—ensuring Mo Fei’s safety—but allowing Thompson to escape without any chance of pursuit or take the opposite route with potentially disastrous consequences.
