46: Chapter 46 The Unkillable Night Demon

A faint light radiated from Tang Zheng's entire body.

"Go to hell!"

A surge of towering rage erupted from Tang Zheng's eyes. He stepped forward and threw a fierce punch, actually smashing the massive figure that had just poked its head out back into the darkness.

After this punch, Tang Zheng suddenly froze, his eyes glazed over for a moment, followed immediately by an expression of disbelief.

Finally, all his emotions turned into wild ecstasy.

"Hahahaha! Little Xuanzi, I'm the protagonist! So, I'm the protagonist! I truly am extraordinary by nature!"

Tang Zheng laughed excitedly, saying with immense thrill: "From now on, Brother Zheng will look after you, and we'll live the good life!"

Chu Xuan didn't even need to think to know that for this guy to be acting so cocky, he must have undergone an Awakening, gained a talent, and bound a System.

The eerie chuckling sound appeared again. A werewolf, pitch-black all over and exuding a faint black mist, suddenly lunged from the darkness, tackling Tang Zheng to the ground and slamming his back hard against the pavement.

The force was so violent that it actually smashed a crater into the asphalt road beneath Tang Zheng.

However, Tang Zheng acted as if nothing had happened. Before the Night Demon could bite down, he used a "rabbit kicks eagle" move, kicking the Night Demon away and back into the darkness.

"Come on, come on! Let's see Brother Zheng beat you flat!"

Tang Zheng beckoned to the werewolf with his finger, acting incredibly arrogant: "I am already invincible; do as you please."

The chuckling transformed into an angry roar, and a streak of black lightning suddenly appeared within the range of the light.

When Chu Xuan clearly saw that this was indeed the werewolf wreathed in faint black mist, its claws, emitting a dark sheen, were already right in front of Tang Zheng.

Chu Xuan's heart tightened.

The speed was too fast!

If it were him, he might have lost his life on the spot before he could even react.

"Is that all?"

Tang Zheng sneered repeatedly. Before anyone knew it, he had already struck, gripping the opponent's wrist tightly, and then delivered a fierce kick from below, causing the Night Demon's entire body to lift into the air, parallel to the ground.

This scene was visually striking.

Tang Zheng's height of 1.85 meters was considered tall among ordinary people, but compared to the black wolf's two-meter-plus, immensely thick body, he seemed somewhat petite.

Yet at this moment, that arm, nearly as thick as a water bucket, was actually grabbed by Tang Zheng and held completely immobile. The sharp claws were right in front of Tang Zheng's eyes, but could not get an inch closer.

As the Night Demon's body was about to hit the ground, Tang Zheng suddenly twisted his body, grabbed the Night Demon's arm with both hands, and slammed it hard onto the ground as if he were swinging a rope.

Boom!

With a loud crash, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, a huge, humanoid-shaped crater had been smashed into the asphalt road.

Such an exaggerated scene made not just Chu Xuan, but even Qin Qing, gasp in disbelief: "What kind of talent could have been Awakened to do this?"

"Heh! Nothing special." Tang Zheng sneered lightly, looking immensely arrogant. Just as the Night Demon was about to get up again, he abruptly raised his foot and stomped it back down.

"Stop messing around, hurry up and cut off its head!" Chu Xuan shouted, wanting to hand Qin Qing's blade to Tang Zheng.

"A crappy blade is useless; this guy is tough as nails. Watch me beat him to death, that's all!"

Tang Zheng leaned over and rained punch after punch down onto the Night Demon's head.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous loud noises were like a pile driver on a construction site compacting a foundation, actually causing the ground to vibrate.

One could see the Night Demon's head being smashed deeper and deeper, driven straight from the asphalt surface down into the foundation layer by those punches.

Its entire body was wedged at an angle deep into the ground, and even the black mist had dissipated quite a bit.

Chu Xuan's whole body suddenly felt light; the feeling of being bound as if underwater had disappeared. This round was secure! Chu Xuan was overjoyed.

"This blade is made of a special material. With the strength Tang Zheng is showing now, he might be able to kill the Night Demon. Give it to him quickly, lest complications arise..." Qin Qing's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

If he weren't carrying her on his back, with her voice right by his ear, Chu Xuan might not have been able to hear her at all.

He subconsciously took another look at the blade in his hand.

The blade was narrow and long, about four feet, with a slanted, straight tip. There was a ring at the end of the hilt, resembling a ring-pommel saber, and it was engraved with a bird with very long tail feathers that ran through the entire blade—it looked like a Vermilion Bird.

Although it didn't feel as heavy as the eight-sided han sword he had used before, the handling felt much better.

Not daring to delay, Chu Xuan stepped forward quickly, wanting to pass the blade to Tang Zheng.

"Take the blade!"

"No... I can't stop, otherwise..." Tang Zheng's face was pale. He continued to punch, showing no intention of stopping to take the blade, and his voice sounded a bit off.

Chu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Because at this moment, Tang Zheng's expression had completely lost the confidence and arrogance from just a moment ago; instead, there was a hint of urgency and anxiety in his look.

Not knowing what had gone wrong, Chu Xuan immediately shouted again: "Take the blade, this blade can kill him!"

Tang Zheng's body suddenly trembled and stopped moving.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Chu Xuan's bad premonition grew stronger. He hurriedly said: "It hasn't even been a minute; don't tell me you're already going limp!"

"I... I can't do it anymore..."

Tang Zheng slowly turned around and stared blankly at Chu Xuan. The faint light radiating from his body instantly dissipated, and he just fell straight forward into the crater at his feet.

"Tang Zheng!"

Chu Xuan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check, his heart sinking immediately.

He saw that blood was seeping out from all the pores on Tang Zheng's body, and in the blink of an eye, he had become a blood-soaked mess.

"Brother Xuan... I'll leave it to... you. I... can't..." Tang Zheng's eyes were still open, but he was already gasping for breath as he spoke.

What the hell!!

Chu Xuan was completely stunned.

He could only put Qin Qing down first and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Tang Zheng out of the crater.

Without spare thoughts to check Tang Zheng's condition, Chu Xuan fixed his gaze on the crater below.

He saw the werewolf below, its head a bloody mess and deformed, unrecognizable from its original appearance. But it was clearly not dead yet, as its body was twitching constantly, and thin black mist was still wreathed around it.

Chu Xuan immediately raised the blade and slashed down.

Slash!

With this slash, Chu Xuan used all his strength, yet it only sank an inch into the flesh. He saw blood, but he couldn't cut in very deep at all.

Chu Xuan let out a low shout and hacked four more times in succession.

But it only deepened the Night Demon's wound slightly; those thick, knotted muscles on its neck were like bound steel bars.

These slashes not only failed to cut off the opponent's head, but instead caused his own wounds to burst open further. Blood flowed wildly, and the hemostatic bandage wrapped around his chest had completely lost its effectiveness.

His HP continued to drop, with only 60 points remaining.

The Night Demon's limbs twitched even more violently, but judging by the movement of its arms, it was clearly trying to crawl up, though it seemed like its brain had short-circuited, looking somewhat uncoordinated.

"Your strength is too weak; you cannot yet perform Spiritual Infusion on weapons, and your power is not as great as Tang Zheng's was just now. Use this gun..."

Qin Qing struggled to pull a pistol from the quick-draw holster at her waist and tossed it to Chu Xuan, then continued: "It might not have the best effect, but while it is in a weakened state, inflict more wounds..."
