241: Chapter 240 I'll kill you today!

Bang!

A deafening roar erupted.

A crack over half a meter long and an inch deep was plowed into the bluestone floor of the Central Plaza.

Behind the crack, a monster that had been raising a stone pier to smash the protective barrier suddenly split apart, slashed diagonally into two halves.

Before it could even hit the ground, black flames suddenly erupted from its wounds, engulfing it and burning it into nothingness in an instant. Only the stone pier, which hadn't yet been thrown, fell from mid-air, smashing fine cracks into the bluestone bricks.

"Chu Xuan..."

Inside the protective barrier, Qin Qing, who was just about to swallow a red pill, couldn't help but tremble. She stared blankly at the person who had descended from the sky, a few tears falling from her cold, clear eyes.

Once upon a time, there was a similar scene, but back then, that person could only rely on sheer blood-fueled courage to charge forward under the Night Demon's Clones.

But today, it seemed completely different.

Enveloped in black flames, he had slaughtered those few Specters with just a few slashes, destroying them like dry weeds. As he walked over, his expression remained calm throughout.

Qin Qing's expression was somewhat dazed.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

As Chu Xuan spoke calmly,

the faint words made Qin Qing's body shudder, and she instantly snapped back to reality. She hurriedly bent down and pressed a button on a seemingly ordinary desk lamp on the ground.

Click.

Accompanied by the crisp sound, the faint light still illuminated a small area around them, but the protective barrier had already retracted.

Chu Xuan extinguished the flames around his body and walked inside.

"You kid, since you're fine, why did you come over here?" Zhang Qiang, who was half flesh and half Smoke, puffed on a cigarette, exhaling a cloud of mist, and said weakly, "Why don't you hurry up and leave..."

Chu Xuan didn't speak and walked to Tang Zheng's side.

He checked his condition and found him covered in blood, the situation identical to the day he overexerted his Talent, though he still had a faint breath.

"Brother Xuan, I didn't mess around this time, but I really couldn't beat him. I couldn't even make a dent; that guy is too tough..."

Tang Zheng opened his eyes slightly, his voice incredibly weak. "I managed to lead everyone out of the challenge range and even killed a few B-Rank Specters; I've already done my best. You... you won't laugh at me, will you?"

"Heh, finally know to call me Brother Xuan?" Chu Xuan looked down at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng closed his eyes powerlessly.

"Chu Xuan, hurry up and leave. Don't worry about us. We don't have the strength to hunt werewolves anymore. Due to the rules, it's impossible for us to escape."

Qin Qing picked up the desk lamp. "This is a Transcendent Skill item from Red Zen. Within the range of the light, it can resist S-Rank Specter Domains to a certain extent. Although it can't avoid the rule-based Rank suppression, it can illuminate this darkness..."

Chu Xuan didn't speak, nor did he take the lamp. Instead, he stood quietly beside Tang Zheng for a few more seconds.

[You are using the Talent skill "Copy".]

[You have obtained the skill Teleport LV.1.]

[Detected that you possess a one-time use Teleport skill; it has been fused and upgraded.]

[Your Transcendent Skill Teleport level has increased. Current level: LV.2.]

[Teleport: LV.2. You can perform short-distance movement of no more than 20 meters within your line of sight. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]

"Still didn't Copy Fighting God? But... having the Teleport skill is enough!" Chu Xuan took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the direction a hundred meters away, where the figure sat high upon a throne of flesh.

"Wait, Chu Xuan, what are you doing?"

Qin Qing rushed forward two steps, but fell to the ground with a thud. She immediately scrambled to get back up and chase after him, shouting with difficulty:

"The Night Demon has basically completed the conversion of its true attributes; its life tier is different from ours! Conventional methods can hardly deal effective damage to it. So many of us couldn't deal with it, even Tang Zheng, who activated his Fighting God Talent, could only suppress it for a little over a minute..."

As she spoke, seeing that Chu Xuan did not stop, Qin Qing continued to follow with difficulty, saying weakly: "Don't go any further. Once you enter within fifty meters of the Night Demon, it can attack you!

I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter you've had, but the closer you get to the Night Demon, the more you will be infected and suppressed by the aura of The Gloom. Without true Strength and agility attributes, your movements will be restricted, especially within this Domain. Your spirit attribute won't be able to resist for long; you will become mentally deranged and gradually become a Strange Creatures..."

"You still have hope, hurry and escape from here! Your potential is very high; you must survive!"

Blood flowed from Qin Qing's seven orifices. As she held up the desk lamp and wanted to say more, Chu Xuan's palm was already raised, wiping away the blood and tears from the corner of her eye.

"When you stayed behind to cover the retreat last time, didn't you hope that one day I would be able to kill the Night Demon?" Chu Xuan's expression was calm, his pace quickening. "Now, I can do it. Just wait here."

Qin Qing's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously stopped, staring blankly as Chu Xuan turned and continued walking towards the platform forged of flesh ahead.

Above the horizon, the giant blood-colored Ouroboros phantom became increasingly solid as specks of blood light converged, emitting a holy radiance.

The closer he got, the clearer and brighter it became.

This scene made the Night Demon appear like a monarch sitting on a throne.

Chu Xuan's expression was calm. When he walked into a range of about one hundred meters, he used his exclusive skill [Eye of Insight]. 100 points of his spirituality value were instantly deducted, and it continued to be consumed.

This time, Chu Xuan did not restrain the consumption. Only when 300 points of spirituality value had been consumed was the Night Demon's relevant information completely revealed before his eyes.

[Name: Night Demon. Type: Strange Creatures. health points: 1150/1440. stamina: 12 (True Attribute; Note: Every 10 points of ordinary attribute can be converted into 1 point of True Attribute). Strength: 75 (True Attribute converting). agility: 70 (True Attribute converting). spirit: 85 (True Attribute converting). Faith: Lord of All Spirits. spirituality value: 200. Transcendent Skill 1: Clone LV. MAX (Can detach any body tissue to form a Clone, and can arbitrarily allocate the Clone's stamina, Strength, and agility attributes, with each attribute not exceeding 80% of the main body. A maximum of 100 Clones can exist simultaneously, and the maximum duration is 7 days. Note 1: The more Clones or the longer the duration, the lower their respective attributes will be. If the total number of Clones created within 7 days exceeds 100, each additional Clone created will result in a loss of 1% of the total health points.) Transcendent Skill 2: Assimilation LV.1 (Can consume 100 spirituality value to select a target and transform them into a Clone without their awareness. The specific duration is related to the target's Rank, spirit attribute, and willpower. Once successfully Assimilated, the main body and the Clone can switch with each other. Note: This skill has been enhanced by the Domain rules; the user can actively shorten the Assimilation time by 10 times, but the assimilated person will sense it and develop an instinctive aversion and repulsion reaction towards the user.) Exclusive Skill: Body Fortification LV.2 (Total health points increased by 20%. When health points are below 80%, each instance of damage taken will not exceed 1% of the total health points, and it will recover at a rate of 1% per minute until it recovers to 80%. The total increase in health points does not exceed 500 points.) Domain: Nightfall (Within the Domain, a unique aura can be released, causing erosion to targets, significantly weakening stamina and agility attributes, and causing strong infection to the spirit. The specific degree is related to the target's Rank, spirit attribute, and willpower.) Comprehensive Strength Rating: S-]

The Night Demon gazed indifferently at Chu Xuan, who was gradually approaching from below. It lowered the hand that was propping up its chin, slowly sat up straight, and said in a hoarse, slightly mocking voice:

"Little bug, I thought you would run away again this time. I didn't expect you to actually dare to come and throw your life away?"

It slowly stood up and laughed wantonly: "I have sensed the god's directive for a sure kill. As long as I kill you, I can advance further! In ten days at most, I can change to a more appropriate title, let's call it... Demonic Lord of the Dark Night!"

"No need for ten days."

Chu Xuan replied calmly and indifferently: "Killing you, it happens today!"
