After Iron Shirt had upgraded.
Lin Feng had gained the Averting Evil Talent.
At the time, its description had said that it reduced the damage demons could inflict on him.
Now Jiang Deyun had released Poison Mist refined from demons.
Lin Feng hadn't been affected. That had to be because of the Averting Evil Talent.
"I never thought he had another trick up his sleeve..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jiang Deyun, who had come right up to him.
"Too bad for you. With my Averting Evil Talent, I'm immune to all poisons!"
Jiang Deyun looked at Lin Feng with a savage grin. He was the one who would claim the final victory.
A genius like Lin Feng truly had immense potential. Jiang Deyun even thought he could one day become as powerful as the Colonel.
The thought of killing such a genius filled him with boundless elation!
A feral grin flickered across Jiang Deyun's eyes. He raised his blade and chopped straight at Lin Feng's head.
Clang!
A hand caught the blade, holding it fast.
Jiang Deyun froze.
Because the one who had caught his blade was none other than Lin Feng!
His expression changed dramatically.
"How do you still have strength?!"
"Impossible! You inhaled the Poison Mist. You should have lost all your strength!"
Jiang Deyun's eyes bulged. He couldn't understand how Lin Feng still had strength.
This Poison Mist had been personally given to him by Captain Zhao.
Although he didn't know what grudge Captain Zhao held against Lin Feng,
how could Captain Zhao possibly have lied to him?
Besides, everyone else present had lost the ability to fight after inhaling the Poison Mist.
They'd even lost the strength to do so much as move properly.
So why was Lin Feng the only one unaffected?
Lin Feng looked at Jiang Deyun coldly and struck again.
Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm!
Terrifying palm force erupted in an instant.
It slammed into Jiang Deyun's internal organs.
Lin Feng had already struck him once before. That blow had been immensely powerful, shattering Jiang Deyun's protective True Qi.
Jiang Deyun had already been wounded then.
Now he'd been hit by Lin Feng's full-strength palm.
His internal organs shattered at once. Even if the Great Luo Immortal himself had come, he couldn't have saved him.
As he lay dying, Jiang Deyun stared at what was happening, his last breath hanging on. He was filled with unbearable resentment.
He himself had never imagined he would die at the hands of a Body Tempering Realm Martial Artist.
Just then, Lin Feng had a sudden idea.
He immediately pulled the bow and arrows from his back.
The bow and arrows were all Second-Order, and their power was formidable.
After acquiring Powerful Shot, Lin Feng could shoot with all his might and kill Jiang Deyun with a single arrow.
But even at close range, Lin Feng could still manage it.
His combat power had long since surpassed his current realm.
He's not dead yet. I'll try killing him with an arrow and see if I can gain proficiency.
Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
The arrow shot like lightning, piercing straight through Jiang Deyun's head.
It ended his consciousness completely.
At such close range, the arrow not only pierced Jiang Deyun's skull,
but also blasted apart the stone slabs beneath him, sending fragments flying in every direction.
Lin Feng looked at the Status Panel before him.
The proficiency for Archery on his panel had risen by a full 500!
"Hm?"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Killing a Houtian Third Layer Martial Artist had actually gained him 500 proficiency?
That was a pretty good increase!
It seemed he needed to kill more enemies to raise his Archery proficiency.
Lin Feng now pinned his hopes on those demons.
He hoped they'd show up soon so he could shoot them and raise his proficiency!
At the same time Lin Feng killed Jiang Deyun,
the Demon Suppression Guards who had split off from him earlier were already battered and covered in blood.
The five Squad Leaders had formed a team, all of them at the Houtian First Layer.
They also had many Body Tempering Eighth and Ninth Level Demon Suppression Guards under their command.
Together, they made up a force that was far from insignificant.
But now...
Of the five Houtian First Layer Squad Leaders, only two remained.
Both were covered in horrifying wounds, blood pouring from them.
"Quick, run!"
"That Pig Demon's too strong! It's almost as powerful as a Houtian Sixth Layer Martial Artist!"
"We're no match for it. Find Jiang Deyun at once!"
The two Squad Leaders roared, using every last bit of their strength to flee.
Behind them were more than a dozen battered Demon Suppression Guards.
After splitting up from Lin Feng and the others,
they'd gone down another fork in the road and soon encountered the Second-Order Demon!
This Second-Order Demon was a Pig Demon, towering in stature.
The Pig Demon's strength was terrifying. In terms of power, it was probably not far below a Houtian Sixth Layer Martial Artist.
Most troublesome of all, the Pig Demon had a great many demons under its command.
There were a full hundred of them!
The moment the Demon Suppression Guards spotted the Pig Demon and its horde,
they made up their minds to run at once!
But the Pig Demon had reacted just as quickly.
It attacked in a flash, killing a Houtian First Layer Squad Leader in an instant.
The two of them had managed to escape
only because they were lucky enough not to be the first ones the Pig Demon targeted.
But they were badly wounded too, and couldn't run very far.
Returning to the Demon Suppression Division was out of the question.
There wouldn't be any other Demon Suppression Guards in this wilderness, either.
So they had to find Jiang Deyun first and fight alongside him!
Behind them,
a Houtian Realm Squad Leader lay on the ground, dead.
Then a foot that looked nothing like a human foot came crashing down.
The Squad Leader's head burst like a watermelon.
The one who had crushed his head wasn't human. It was a Pig Demon!
The Pig Demon had a human body and stood nearly one zhang tall, covered in thick fur.
Beneath that fur bulged layers of knotted muscle.
Most striking of all was its enormous pig's head, with two blood-red tusks jutting out.
It looked as if it had just eaten a person.
The Pig Demon sniffed the air, and a look of intoxication suddenly appeared in its eyes.
"There are quite a lot of Demon Suppression Guards here this time!"
"One of them smells absolutely delicious—far better than the rest!"
The Pig Demon spoke in human language, its voice rumbling like thunder in its throat.
Generally speaking, demons could speak once they reached a certain level of cultivation, and this Pig Demon was one of them!
Demons ate humans above all because devouring people allowed them to cultivate.
Eating Martial Artists in particular brought them enormous benefits in their cultivation.
Now that a Demon Suppression Guard with such a "delicious" scent had arrived, the Pig Demon looked utterly intoxicated.
Like a man who hadn't been near a woman in ten years suddenly seeing a naked beauty.
"Looks like this old pig's in for a feast today!"
Greed gleamed in the Pig Demon's eyes. It picked up the head it had just crushed beneath its foot and began chewing.
"Move out!"
It waved its hand, then flashed forward toward the direction Lin Feng was in!
The Pig Demon was terrifyingly fast, becoming little more than a blur.
More than a hundred First-Order Pig Demons immediately followed behind it.
On another street,
Lin Feng searched through Jiang Deyun's corpse.
He pulled out a hundred True Qi Pills and a jade bottle filled with pills.
The pills inside were the same ones Jiang Deyun had swallowed after releasing the Poison Mist.
Clearly, they were the antidote!
