After Iron Shirt upgraded.
Lin Feng acquired the 'Averting Evil' talent.
At the time, the talent's description said it would reduce damage from demons and monsters.
Now that Jiang Deyun had released a poison mist refined from demons.
He himself remained unaffected—this was all due to Averting Evil.
"Who would have thought, he still has this trick..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, watching Jiang Deyun who had already arrived before him.
"Too bad, with the 'Averting Evil' talent, I'm immune to all poisons!"
Jiang Deyun stared at Lin Feng, his face twisted with ferocity—he was the true victor.
A genius like Lin Feng had immense potential; Jiang Deyun even felt he could one day become a powerhouse like Colonel.
The thought of slaying such a genius filled him with exhilaration!
A cruel grin spread across Jiang Deyun's eyes, then he raised his blade and swung it straight at Lin Feng's head.
Clang.
The blade was caught in a grip, frozen in place.
In that moment, Jiang Deyun was stunned.
Because the one who caught the blade was none other than Lin Feng!
His expression shifted violently!
"You... how do you still have strength?!"
"Impossible, you should have lost all your power after inhaling the poison mist!"
Jiang Deyun's eyes bulged, unable to understand why Lin Feng still had strength.
This poison mist was personally gifted by Captain Zhao.
Though he didn't know what grudge Captain Zhao held against Lin Feng.
But how could Captain Zhao deceive him?
Besides, everyone else who inhaled the poison mist had lost their combat ability.
They couldn't even muster basic strength.
Why was Lin Feng the only one unaffected?
Lin Feng coldly stared at Jiang Deyun and struck out again.
Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm!
Terrifying palm force erupted in an instant.
It slammed into Jiang Deyun's internal organs.
He had already taken a palm strike from Lin Feng before—that blow was extremely powerful, shattering his protective True Qi.
At that time, Jiang Deyun was already wounded.
Now, struck again by Lin Feng's full-force palm.
His organs shattered instantly; even if a celestial immortal descended in person, there would be no saving him.
On the brink of death, Jiang Deyun's eyes bulged at the scene, a last breath hanging on, filled with utter unwillingness.
He never imagined he would die at the hands of a Body Tempering Realm martial artist.
Just then, a sudden idea struck Lin Feng.
He immediately took out the bow and arrows strapped to his back.
Both bow and arrows were second-grade, extremely powerful.
After acquiring Powerful Shot, if he fired an arrow with full force, its power could also slay Jiang Deyun in one shot.
But even at close range, Lin Feng could still manage it.
His combat strength had long surpassed his current realm.
"While he's still not dead, I'll try shooting him with an arrow and see if I can gain proficiency."
Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately nocked an arrow and drew the bow.
The arrow shot out like lightning, piercing straight through Jiang Deyun's head.
It completely ended his consciousness.
Because of the close distance, this arrow not only penetrated Jiang Deyun's skull.
It also blasted the stone floor apart, shattering it into pieces.
And Lin Feng watched the Status Panel before him.
The proficiency of his Archery on the panel had clearly increased by 500!
"Oh?"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Killing a martial artist at the Houtian Third Layer actually gave 500 proficiency points?
That increase was pretty decent!
It seemed that to raise his archery proficiency, he needed to kill more enemies.
At this moment, Lin Feng pinned his hopes on those demons.
He wished they would show up soon, so he could shoot them down and gain proficiency!
Just as Lin Feng struck down Jiang Deyun.
The Demon Suppression Guards who had split off with Lin Feng earlier were now blood-soaked and battered.
Five Squad Leaders formed a team, all at Houtian First Layer.
Beneath them were many Demon Suppression Guards at the Eighth and Ninth Levels of Body Tempering.
United, they were still a considerable force.
But now...
Of the five Houtian First Layer Squad Leaders, only two remained.
And those two bore shocking wounds, blood gushing from them.
"Quick, run!"
"This Pig Demon is too strong—he's nearly on par with a Houtian Sixth Layer martial artist!"
"We're no match; find Jiang Deyun immediately!"
The two Squad Leaders growled, using every ounce of strength to flee.
Behind them were over a dozen bedraggled Demon Suppression Guards.
After parting ways with Lin Feng and the others.
They had taken another fork in the road and soon encountered that Second-Order Demon!
This Second-Order Demon was a Pig Demon, towering and massive.
Its strength was terrifying; in terms of power, it was likely not far off from a Houtian Sixth Layer martial artist.
The worst part was that this Pig Demon commanded a horde of demons.
A full hundred of them!
The moment they saw the Pig Demon and its demon horde.
These Demon Suppression Guards made up their minds—flee immediately!
But the Pig Demon reacted swiftly.
It struck at once, killing a Houtian First Layer Squad Leader in a single blow.
The two who escaped.
Were lucky not to have been targeted first by the Pig Demon.
Still, they were gravely wounded and couldn't run far.
Returning to the Demon Suppression Division was out of the question.
In this desolate wilderness, there were no other Demon Suppression Guards to be found.
So at this moment, they had to find Jiang Deyun first and fight together!
Behind the group.
A Houtian Realm Squad Leader lay dead on the ground.
Then a foot that didn't belong to a human stomped down hard.
The Squad Leader's head burst like a watermelon.
The one who crushed it wasn't human—it was a Pig Demon!
This Pig Demon had a humanoid body, nearly a zhang tall, with thick, unruly hair.
Beneath that hair bulged knotted muscles it couldn't hide.
Its most striking feature was its massive pig head, with two blood-red tusks jutting out.
As if it had just feasted on human flesh.
The Pig Demon sniffed the air, a look of intoxication flickering in its eyes.
"Quite a few Demon Suppression Guards came this time!"
"And one of them smells exquisite—far better than the rest!"
The Pig Demon spoke in human tongue, its voice rumbling like thunder in its throat.
Generally, when a demon reached a certain level of cultivation, it could speak human words, and this Pig Demon was one of them!
Demons and monsters feed on humans primarily because consuming humans allows them to cultivate.
Eating Martial Artists, in particular, grants them enormous benefits for their cultivation.
Now, with a Demon Suppression Guard who smelled exceptionally "delicious" before him, the Boar Demon's expression was utterly intoxicated.
Like a man who hadn't touched a woman in ten years laying eyes on a naked beauty.
"It seems this old boar can finally feast today!"
Greed flickered in the Boar Demon's eyes as he picked up the head of the Demon Suppression Guard he had just crushed underfoot and began to chew.
"Move out!"
He waved his hand, and his figure blurred—he was charging straight toward Lin Feng's location!
The Boar Demon's speed was terrifying, leaving only afterimages in his wake.
Behind him, over a hundred First-Order Boar Demons immediately followed.
On another street.
Lin Feng searched Jiang Deyun's corpse.
He pulled out a hundred True Qi Pills and a jade bottle filled with medicinal pills.
The pills inside the jade bottle were exactly the ones Jiang Deyun had swallowed to release the poison.
Clearly, this was the antidote!
