Chapter 31: Limiting Conditions
Feng Shi narrowed his eyes. In the lamplight, the giant’s massive figure completely disintegrated, revealing the pale-faced Yan Cheng inside.
Feng Shi hadn’t expected in any way that the other party was actually hiding inside the black shadow monster’s body.
Yan Cheng cursed something in a low voice, raising a hand to cover his chest, seemingly suffering a backlash.
The bamboo lantern fell to the ground, the firelight vigorous.
The Little Black Snake stopped singing, looking around somewhat confusedly. Apart from Yan Cheng, his father wasn’t there, but that lamp emitted a strong aura he was familiar with.
Although Xiao Yuhui hadn’t seen Yan Cheng before, seeing Feng Shi’s expression, he reacted. He took out a magical artifact Feng Shi didn’t recognize from his Qiankun bag.
“Yan Cheng! We are under the sect’s orders to capture you back!”
After speaking, he activated the artifact in his hand. A dense large net spread out immediately, enveloping Yan Cheng head-on.
Yan Cheng, having his good deed ruined, had a ferocious expression. His eyes were red enough to drip blood. With unstable breath, he flashed to the ground, then with a few leaps arrived behind Feng Shi, reaching out to choke his neck.
Fortunately, Feng Shi reacted fast enough, summoning his long sword to block for a moment, turning around and retreating to Xiao Yuhui’s side.
Yan Cheng failed and flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Cao Ni, who remained in the sky above the pavilion, immediately engaged in a tangle with Yan Cheng.
Feng Shi reached out to retrieve the Little Black Snake, hanging it temporarily at his waist, and moved to help as well. Just as he was about to leave, he felt his robe tighten.
Looking back, Ruan Yan was clutching his hem with both hands, two pools of tears in her eyes, looking terrified.
Feng Shi hesitated, took off his outer shirt to drape over her, then placed her on his sword, using sword control to send her to the brothel’s backyard.
Yan Cheng was a level higher than them no matter what, and now showed signs of qi deviation. He was afraid Xiao Yuhui and Cao Ni couldn’t cope.
Publicly or privately, this person Yan Cheng could not remain with Feng Shi.
At the fourth watch, everyone was still in deep sleep.
In the pitch-black backyard, Ruan Yan tightly pulled the clothes on her body, trembling violently. Her gaze fell on the flickering lights not far away, freezing her body motionless, praying for Feng Shi to come over quickly.
Feng Shi, having retracted his sword, threw her to the back of his mind and circulated his Qi to go up and help.
Finally, with the combined efforts of the three, the giant net landed on Yan Cheng’s head.
As soon as the net threads touched human skin, they tightened rapidly, firmly binding Yan Cheng inside.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Yuhui’s face. But before he could retract the net, a dense demonic aura erupted from Yan Cheng’s body.
His body twisted hideously and expanded several times in size. His hunching back protruded rapidly, growing sharp dorsal spines. His limbs became robust like a beast’s, and sharp claws grew from his hands.
He actually transformed into a beast!
Simultaneously, the aura on his body changed drastically, containing a power that made one’s mind stagnate.
As Yan Cheng’s size grew, Xiao Yuhui’s magical artifact was stretched to breaking point, overburdened and ruined.
“Not good! His strength suddenly increased a lot; the three of us are probably no match for him!”
Xiao Yuhui’s face changed drastically. Even though he and Cao Ni were experienced, the gap in strength was something these experiences could hardly make up for.
Feng Shi also knew the situation was bad, but the three of them absolutely couldn’t leave now.
Yan Cheng had visibly lost his reason. If they didn’t stop him, the people of Linyu City would face imminent disaster.
“Senior Brother! What to do!” Although Feng Shi had the cheat of killing enemies above his level, it wasn’t convenient to use in front of the two Senior Brothers, so he could only ask if there were other ways first.
“People from the sect are already on their way. We hold on first!”
Feng Shi: “…”
Big injustice!
By the time people from Chongshan Sect arrive, the day lilies will be cold (everything will be too late)!
Feng Shi thought, Better just activate the cheat. How to explain it is a matter for later.
【Qingqing, use one chance to kill an enemy above my level.】
【Okay then~ Reviewing the battle situation for you now:
Reviewing…
Review failed.
Reason for failure: Detected that the opponent is two levels higher than you. Please try again after improving your strength.】
Feng Shi: “???”
“System, are you f*cking sick? What kind of fit are you throwing?!”
He poked frantically at the ‘Kill Enemy Above Level’ option on the panel, incredulous.
Qingqing looked aggrieved: 【It’s the Dear Host who didn’t see the limiting conditions clearly. Can’t blame Qingqing~】
Feng Shi looked angry: “Where are there any limiting conditions?!”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a line of small print at the bottom of the page: “Note: Only limited to cross-killing adjacent levels;
Example: Foundation Establishment can kill Golden Core”
The text was even bolded. He was too happy at the time and didn’t see it clearly.
Now Yan Cheng’s strength was approaching Spirit Transformation, clearly outside the conditions.
Indeed, how could there be no limiting conditions? Kill whoever you want? Blame him for taking it for granted.
Feng Shi resignedly held his forehead and asked Qingqing, “Besides this, are there any other ways?”
Qingqing immediately stuffed several products at him.
Feng Shi looked at the string of expensive amounts behind them and instantly felt a headache.
It seemed they were destined to be the big injustices/scapegoats.
Exiting the system interface, the solidified time began to flow again. Feng Shi panted, dodging Yan Cheng’s violent attacks, and gathered strength to return a sword strike.
After Yan Cheng’s beast transformation, his skin and flesh defense increased terrifyingly. Facing their attacks, it seemed like a mere itch, and he was quickly enraged by their actions.
He lifted his foot and stomped fiercely, trampling the pavilion into powder.
With such a big commotion, almost everyone in the city was awakened. The originally quiet late night turned into chaos.
Seeing this, Feng Shi hurriedly set up a barrier around them to prevent accidental injury, but facing the current Yan Cheng, it was ultimately of little use.
Yan Cheng had completely gone mad, his eyeballs turning dense black, his appearance changed greatly, no longer human, knowing only to blindly indulge the ugly desires deep in his heart.
“I want to become stronger! I want to become stronger!” Yan Cheng beat his chest with both hands, rushing over with large strides, reaching out to catch Feng Shi: “I want to eat you! Eat you!”
In the Demon Slaying Tower, Feng Shi had long trained a tough divine soul and practiced several techniques. His movement speed was already extremely fast within the Foundation Establishment stage, strange and unpredictable, so naturally, he wouldn’t be caught easily.
But after exhausting himself like this for a long time, he ultimately couldn’t hold on.
On the side, Xiao Yuhui and Cao Ni weren’t much better than him. Yan Cheng killed with red eyes, eating people on sight.
Under the pale white sky color, a deep red was embedded in the horizon—the sun was about to come out.
The streets were covered with blood stains. The city was deadly silent; no one dared to come out again, all hiding tremblingly inside their houses.
On the other side of the city, Shen Songhe watched the battle from the window, clenching his palms, but never made a move to help.
Finally, the last edge of the sun grew out from the horizon. At this moment, a burst of melodious singing pierced the clouds, resounding through the entire city.
Feng Shi turned his head and saw a cloud wall, like a tsunami rushing towards them, rising in the sky on the other side of the sun. Subsequently, the cloud wall poured down like a water current, filling the entire city.
