Before the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon could land, Jiang Feng drew his bow again and sent another arrow streaking out.
This time, Jiang Feng aimed for the tiny, beanlike eyes on the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon's head.
The arrow flew swiftly, loosed almost immediately after the first. It struck the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon's eye just as the demon regained its footing.
With a bang, the arrow exploded before the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon could dodge, blasting flesh and blood from its face until its eyes and nose were no longer recognizable.
In those few moments, the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon reached the base of the massive tree where Jiang Feng stood. It spoke in human language. "You insignificant human ant! You dare ambush and kill soldiers of our demon race? Die!"
The Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon swung its powerful forelimbs at the tree. Like a knife slicing through tofu, they instantly severed the trunk, which was so thick that it took two people to encircle it.
Jiang Feng immediately fired a third arrow, intending to finish off the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon first. The first two arrows had already wounded it, and the third plunged straight into the wound on its face, worsening the damage.
With another explosion, half the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon's head shattered. It clearly would not survive.
As the tree fell, Jiang Feng dropped with it. While still in midair, however, he put his bow and arrows into his Storage Ring, then descended with a Knight Greatsword in each hand.
Both swords blazed with brilliant golden light as he instantly unleashed the Fifth Order Knight skill: Holy Sword.
Holy Sword was a powerful Fifth Order Knight attack skill. Against enemies with the Dark Attribute in particular, it could double his attack power.
Both Holy Swords slashed down at the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon below. Combined with the terrifying strength granted by Jiang Feng's nearly three thousand external spiritual power, the blow actually sent the Sixth Order demon flying.
The sight surprised even the blonde woman standing by, ready to rescue him at any moment. She had never imagined Jiang Feng's first clash with a Sixth Order member of the Demon Race would turn out like this.
The blonde woman was astonished. An Innate Spiritual Power of eighty was known as the Divine Blessing Physique. Could the Holy Protection Physique really be this powerful now?
Just moments earlier, as the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon and Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon were approaching, the blonde woman had been wondering how long Jiang Feng could hold out before asking her for help. She had never expected him to pull out a bow and kill the Fifth Order Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon with three arrows.
Although that left him with one fewer enemy, she still believed the Fifth Order Jiang Feng had no chance against the Sixth Order Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon.
Unless Jiang Feng, like her, could fight above his tier.
The blonde woman had learned from her master that Jiang Feng had not gone to Knight Sacred Mountain to obtain a mount. In that respect, he was just like her.
Still, the blonde woman did not believe Jiang Feng could compare to her.
Could Jiang Feng really defeat a Sixth Order Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon without a mount's assistance?
The blonde woman grew increasingly curious about Jiang Feng. Originally, she had only heard that her master had accepted a final disciple and, having nothing else to do, had come over to keep an eye on him.
Now, however, Jiang Feng's combat prowess had surprised her a little.
At this point, Jiang Feng had already completed his assessment task.
As for the remaining Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, she would certainly intervene if Jiang Feng asked for help. With her strength, killing it would be a trivial matter.
Yet Jiang Feng still did not ask for help.
Of course, the blonde woman also hoped Jiang Feng could kill this Sixth Order member of the Demon Race with his own strength. Otherwise, she would consider her junior brother far too useless.
Using the recoil from his clash with the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, Jiang Feng flipped through the air and landed steadily on the ground.
The instant he landed, Jiang Feng stamped both feet against the ground and shot forward like an arrow, leaving a string of afterimages behind him.
The Fifth Order Knight skill: Charge.
Pursuing the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon as it flew backward, Jiang Feng crossed a sword of light and a sword of fire in a slashing strike. It was Radiant Cross Slash.
Boom!
Dust billowed everywhere. The Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon lay in a miserable heap inside a crater more than three meters deep.
It panted heavily. Each of the two forelimbs beneath its wings had originally borne five razor-sharp blades. Now only three remained on each, Jiang Feng having severed two.
The Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon stared at Jiang Feng, fury burning in its eyes. If looks could kill, Jiang Feng would already have been cut into a thousand pieces.
Jiang Feng could not help pausing for breath. Using several skills in succession had taken a heavy toll on him. Had he been facing the Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon, that combination would already have finished it off.
But the Sixth Order Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon was tough and thick-skinned. Jiang Feng estimated that even if its external spiritual power fell short of his, the difference would not be great.
Fine. Looks like I can't keep hiding the fact that I'm a tank.
With a sword in each hand, Jiang Feng charged forward to fight the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon at close quarters.
In truth, the knight skills Jiang Feng could currently use were not much stronger than his physical attacks. He possessed nearly three thousand external spiritual power. If his internal and external spiritual power were added together, Jiang Feng was already a Sixth Order Radiant Knight.
What did three thousand external spiritual power mean?
Ordinary professionals below the Fifth Order could not even breach Jiang Feng's physical defenses, unless they were monsters like Long Haochen, a child of destiny who could fight above his tier and unleash special, powerful skills.
In fact, the Magic Level light armor Jiang Feng wore offered less protection than his own body.
He only wore armor because he did not want to reveal his true strength. After all, it would be difficult to explain why his external spiritual power exceeded his internal spiritual power.
Jiang Feng clashed with the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon, both swords in hand. A sharp clang rang out as his blades struck its forelimbs, sending sparks flying.
Ultimately, however, Jiang Feng's swords were sharper than the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's forelimbs. Combined with the immense strength of his powerful body, his slashes drove it back again and again.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng wielded Knight Greatswords forged from exceptionally sturdy materials. They could fully withstand his terrifying strength, allowing him to exploit his advantage in external spiritual power to the utmost.
Both swords struck together, his attacks as swift and relentless as a raging storm.
As the battle continued, wounds multiplied across the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's body and its momentum weakened. It actually began to feel a trace of fear toward Jiang Feng.
Every one of its attacks was blocked by Jiang Feng, while his swords kept drawing its blood.
Finally, Jiang Feng used another skill, intending to deliver the finishing blow.
His right-hand sword thrust out like lightning, a glint of cold light flashing as it plunged straight into the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's throat.
"Urgh... lowly ant! The Demon Gods will descend upon this land! Darkness eternal! The Demon Gods will avenge me!" the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon roared before its death, its gaze savage.
"Shut up." Jiang Feng twisted his sword, completely shredding the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's throat.
The Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon's towering body collapsed. Jiang Feng planted both swords against the ground and took a slight breath.
Fighting with external spiritual power differed greatly from fighting with internal spiritual power. External spiritual power enhanced a professional's physical strength, restricting combat to close-quarters fighting-overwhelming every technique with sheer force, simple and brutal.
Internal spiritual power, on the other hand, could invoke and activate Holy Light magic, manifesting through both martial skills and Holy Light magic. In comparison, combat using internal spiritual power certainly offered greater destructive power and a wider attack range.
However, magic and martial skills consumed internal spiritual power rapidly. In terms of endurance in battle, it certainly could not match external spiritual power.
Of course, the external spiritual power of the vast majority of humans above the third tier was insufficient to sustain combat at their own tier.
It was possible that no one else in the entire Alliance was in the same situation as Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng put the bodies of the Gold-Patterned Twin-Blade Demon and Jade-Green Twin-Blade Demon into his Storage Ring, then prepared to return to the Alliance Garrison.
"I'm heading back, Inspector," Jiang Feng called, waving toward a spot in midair.
