The War-god of Conquering the Heavens

Chapter 10



C10 – Preliminary Killing Demon Beast

Departing from the Marquis’s Mansion, Chen Shaofeng exited Nanshan County through its northern gate, as the Imperial City lay to the north of the county.

Venturing beyond Nanshan County for the first time, Chen Shaofeng’s curiosity led him to explore the unfamiliar surroundings eagerly. As he traversed the forest, his gaze darted from side to side until, not long after, he encountered a Demonic Beast.

Demonic Beasts were categorized into nine stages, each stage denoting varying degrees of strength. The first stage represented the lowest level of strength, while the ninth stage signified the highest.

Given Chen Shaofeng’s current prowess, dispatching a typical first stage Demonic Beast posed no challenge; however, contending with a second stage one proved considerably more daunting.

Indeed, a second stage Demonic Beast possessed the ability to overpower a practitioner of the Spiritual Martial Stage. With Chen Shaofeng’s current capabilities, triumphing against such a foe seemed implausible.

Typically, within ordinary forests like this one, Demonic Beasts of the highest first stage level lacked intelligence and remained below the first stage. These Demonic Beasts generally exhibited moderate strength, akin to warriors of the Refinement Realm.

These Demon Cores served as the primary energy source for Demonic Beasts and held immense value for cultivation purposes. They were exceedingly rare; even encountering one among a dozen or so Rank 1 Demonic Beasts was considered fortunate.

The Two-Winged Fire Wolf currently confronting Chen Shaofeng belonged to the first stage of Demonic Beasts.

Upon locking eyes with Chen Shaofeng, the Two-Winged Fire Wolf hesitated to make the first move, mirroring Chen Shaofeng’s caution.

Suddenly, the Two-Winged Fire Wolf lunged forward, its wings propelling it while a fiery aura emanated from its maw. Descending from above, it unleashed a torrent of flames, engulfing the area.

The flames seemed to set the very air ablaze, instantly elevating the surrounding temperature.

Chen Shaofeng found himself the target of the fiery assault.

Undaunted, Chen Shaofeng scoffed, “Let’s see whose flames reign supreme: yours or my Flame Fist.”

Simultaneously, he lunged forward, his Cloud Walk technique leaving distinct imprints on the ground. Clearly, his mastery of the Cloud Walk technique remained incomplete, as evidenced by the conspicuous footprints left behind.

“Crimson Flame Fist!”

With a resounding roar, Chen Shaofeng initiated the circulation of energy within his body, generating a swirling vortex of energy along his arm.

Simultaneously, he executed the Crimson Flame Fist Technique, summoning fiery energy that surged from both his fists.

Propelling himself off the ground with both feet, he ascended into the air, delivering a forceful blow with his Crimson Flame Fist, both fists hurtling towards the Winged Fire Wolf’s form.

Boom!

Upon enduring the onslaught of this rolling attack, the Two-Winged Fire Wolf was forcefully propelled backward. Despite its fiery aura, Chen Shaofeng’s Flame Fist not only blazed with intensity but also possessed formidable solidity. Hence, it came as no surprise that the Two-Winged Fire Wolf was sent hurtling by such a powerful punch.

The Two-Winged Fire Wolf collided with a nearby tree, shattering it in half with tremendous impact.

Roar!

The Two-Winged Fire Wolf beat its wings, soaring once more into the sky. A thunderous roar emanated from its maw, a testament to its fury.

Never had it imagined that a noble first-stage Demonic Beast like itself would be wounded by a mere human. Such indignity demanded the human’s immediate demise.

In that moment, a formidable aura surged from the Winged Fire Wolf’s form, potent enough to affect the figure of Chen Shaofeng standing before it.

With this aura’s eruption, a luminous barrier promptly enveloped the beast, extending in all directions.

Though not a devastating assault, this attack still posed a significant threat. Chen Shaofeng found himself unable to evade, resigned to enduring its impact.

Thankfully, the attack lacked sufficient force to cause significant harm to Chen Shaofeng.

As anticipated, upon contact with Chen Shaofeng, the light barrier inflicted only minimal discomfort, far less than expected.

Nonetheless, typically, assaults from Demonic Beasts were not so ineffectual.

Following this assault, Chen Shaofeng sensed the Two-Winged Fire Wolf’s heightened aggression. It swooped down before him, extending its forelegs to strike.

“Do you think I’m foolish enough to succumb to such an attack?”

He scoffed, intending to depart immediately. Yet, to his surprise, no matter his efforts, his feet seemed rooted to the ground, immobilized.

Perplexed, he struggled to move, puzzled by his unbound hands and feet.

“Could it be the result of that earlier light barrier?” Chen Shaofeng speculated inwardly.

Only such an explanation could account for his current predicament.

However, what precisely was that light barrier, and why did it impart this sensation of constraint?

Roar!

Following the impact that sent Chen Shaofeng sprawling, the Two-Winged Fire Wolf’s fiery aura intensified, and it arched its head back, unleashing a streak of fire from its maw.

Witnessing the incoming fireball and sensing its scorching heat, Chen Shaofeng immediately went on high alert.

Undoubtedly, a first-stage Demonic Beast deserved its reputation.

However, for someone currently at the Second Level of the Mortal Martial Stage like him, the strength of such a Demonic Beast held little significance. Ultimately, the creature before him was merely an early-stage First Level Demonic Beast, not yet at its peak.

“Since you seek your demise, I shall oblige.”

“Crimson Flame Fist!”

A fierce flame aura enveloped Chen Shaofeng’s body as he channeled energy into his fist, causing his temperature to skyrocket, akin to standing before a blazing furnace.

In the midst of this, the fireballs hurled by the Two-Winged Fire Wolf streaked towards him at astonishing speed, detonating upon impact.

A colossal wave of flames surged into the sky, engulfing Chen Shaofeng instantaneously.

“These feeble flames dare to attempt my demise? How naive!”

With crimson flames ablaze, he charged towards the Two-Winged Fire Wolf, his fiery fist dominating everything and causing the creature to plummet from the heavens.

Seize the opportunity to end its life!

Chen Shaofeng’s blows rained down upon the Winged Fire Wolf mercilessly, shattering its four limbs and coating its body in fresh blood. Terrifying screams pierced the air, causing nearby Demonic Beasts eyeing the fallen wolf to retreat hastily.

Gradually, the cries of the Two-Winged Fire Wolf dwindled until they faded entirely. Chen Shaofeng couldn’t help but release a sigh.

He hadn’t anticipated that dispatching an early-stage First Level Demonic Beast would demand such an expenditure of energy, leaving him feeling profoundly helpless.
