"Yuuka, Mokou, you should leave too," Old Man Ishida advised.

And what about you?

"Alas, how can ordinary people escape the clutches of a demonic beast? We old men have lived long enough; let's place our hopes on the younger generation. As long as they are still alive, the village can be rebuilt. Let's just hope that snake will leave after it eats us."

Most of the elderly who remained remained silent, simply gazing quietly in the direction of the village entrance.

"Let's leave quickly. The monsters are very fast, and we don't know how long we can hold them off," Old Man Shitian urged several more times before leading the other elders toward the village entrance.

After everyone left, only Mohong and Wufeng remained in the square.

"Aren't we going to help them?" Mokou said to Wu Feng, her voice sounding somewhat unusual.

“If you believe everyone is ugly, then there’s no need to help them. If you think they still have value, then I’ll go and save them,” Wu Feng replied, looking directly at Mei Hong.

A struggle flashed in Mokou's eyes. The ugliness of human nature in the past, the help the villagers had given her in recent months, and the old man Ishida's reaction to her being an immortal all came to mind. Should she help or not?

A roar came, clearing away all of Mokou's problems, and her eyes became firm.

"Whether they are worth saving or not, I can't watch them die in front of me." He flashed and ran towards the village entrance.

Wu Feng smiled too. In a sense, he had succeeded. Perhaps, as Mokou said, he wouldn't let anyone die in front of him, but he would never go out of his way to save them. He really had to thank this monster.

At the village entrance, when the old man Shitian saw the approaching monster, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. First, he was afraid. How could he face a monster calmly? Second, he was worried that his small group of people might not be enough to feed them.

Before them, a large, dark blue snake, over 50 meters long, was rapidly approaching.

Its scales, a mixture of blue and black, are each as thick as a thumb. Its eyes are a cloudy orange, like a bucket. Its body, over 30 meters long, is almost invisible at a glance.

As the young man who returned said, the python left a ravine in almost every place it passed, and crushed all the trees and rocks it encountered.

Before they even rushed over, a stench hit them, and several elderly people almost fainted from the shock.

"I hope those young people can escape," the old man Ishida murmured to himself, then closed his eyes and awaited death. The other old men also looked terrified; though they could not face death calmly, they did not move an inch.

Just as the giant python lunged, Mokou appeared ahead of the others and collided head-on with it. The python paused, but Mokou was thrown back at an even greater speed.

"Insects, how dare you disturb my meal!" The giant python's eyes flashed with anger, and its voice came from its massive mouth.

The old people were even more terrified, never expecting that the monster could actually speak. Old Man Ishida looked back with concern, for for a moment he had seen a figure whose clothes looked very much like Mokou's.

Mokou emerged from the ruins of a house and stood at the front of the group. She was completely unharmed and remained silent, only cautiously on guard.

Wu Feng guessed wrong. The monster that came was not a peak-level strong monster, but a mid-level ferocious monster. Mei Hong might be able to defeat a low-level ferocious monster, but she had absolutely no chance of defeating a mid-level ferocious monster.

Mokou just wanted to stall for as long as possible until that damned youkai arrived. His strength seemed to be about the same as hers, but for some reason, Mokou had a feeling that which damned youkai could win.

"Damn it, I told you to leave, why didn't you leave?" Old Man Ishida said anxiously. Although he knew that Mokou had lived for 500 years, he still subconsciously thought that she was just a little girl.

"We've lived for 500 years, so even if things don't go well, we can still hold out for a while. You should leave now." The secret that had been hidden all this time was revealed without hesitation at this moment.

The elderly people looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that the group of people were talking without any regard for his presence, the giant python hissed and spat out a mouthful of black acid, which also had a strong stench.

Mokou panicked when she saw that the acid spray had a wide area, and she couldn't possibly block it completely.

At that moment, a dense power of death appeared in front of everyone, forming a barrier that blocked the acid.

The hissing sound of erosion continued to ring out as the purple aura was constantly consumed and became thinner and thinner. Finally, the purple aura representing the power of death disappeared completely, and there was not much acid left, so it could not splash onto the people.

"Meihong, leave the rest to me. You go and take them to a safe place," Wu Feng said as he walked out of the village, his face much paler than usual.

Even for someone at the peak of the Strong level, blocking a casual attack from a mid-level Ferocious level wasn't easy. It was only thanks to the characteristics of the power of death that he could have blocked it.

Meihong hesitated for a moment. She could also tell that Wu Feng was in worse condition than her. In the end, she ran towards the village entrance.

"You damn monster, I'll be right back. Don't die, I still owe you two favors!"

Wu Feng smiled but didn't turn around, and once again took out [Yuyuko's Fan (Formerly)]

He was also reluctant to part with it. He had only had the fan for a month, and he had already been forced to use three of its skills. He was still too weak.

Shouldn't I have picked up my "integrity" back then and gotten a better golden weapon instead?

[Death Control] Activated

[Yuyuko's Fan (Formerly)] Its durability instantly dropped to only 240 points, rendering it useless for a short time. (I checked the rankings today; it was once in the top 15, but has now dropped to 18. The bonus chapter announcement still applies: as long as it's in the top 15 by midnight, I, the knight, will write the next chapter even if I don't sleep.)

Chapter Thirty-Four: Half-Body Serpent

Once activated, the purple power of death surged continuously from the body, and the exhausted body was fully restored in just a few seconds.

The power of death continued to surge forth, and finally the obstacles between the strong and the weak levels within Wu Feng's body were broken through in one fell swoop.

Clenching his fist with one hand, Wu Feng could feel that he was several times stronger than before. Was this what a ferocious level was?

Wu Feng's transformation also alarmed the giant serpent, which had leaped a major rank to reach the peak of the lower level of ferocity. This forced the serpent to be cautious, and it unconsciously released its ferocious demonic energy to fight against the overwhelming death energy.

At the village entrance, the area where the two were facing off gradually split into two distinct colors: one side was filled with deathly aura, and the other was permeated with demonic energy.

"Why do you block my way, you departed spirits?" the snake said, its mouth opening and closing. Among monsters, it was not exceptionally talented; its strength was entirely accumulated over time. Having lived for hundreds, even thousands of years, it had long since become a spirit and did not want to fight with strong individuals casually. Otherwise, it would not have come to remote areas to devour humans.

“Unfortunately, this road is blocked,” Wu Feng said firmly.

"Undead, are you sure you want to be my enemy?" the monstrous serpent said angrily. Not wanting to be an enemy of demons casually did not mean that it was willing to be provoked, especially by demons of a lower level than itself.

Wu Feng didn't speak, but stood motionless in front of the village, wearing a strange pair of glasses.

"You're courting death!" The roar of the monstrous serpent echoed throughout the village. Its thick, long tail lashed out mercilessly, falling from the sky like a hammer. The air was filled with hissing sounds as the tail hammer hit the ground, and the earth groaned as if an earthquake had struck the village.

As the monstrous serpent attacked, dozens of purple projectiles appeared out of thin air and flew towards it, accurately hitting the serpent and splashing out a burst of light.

At the crucial moment, Wu Feng used the [Reverse Screen] property to dodge to the side. He frowned as he looked at the giant serpent beast enveloped in purple light. The barrage of bullets had no effect whatsoever; apart from the serpent's scales becoming somewhat dull, there were no other changes.

"Dead spirit, are you tickling me?" Wu Feng actually saw a mocking look in the serpent's eyes.

Orochi wondered if he was being too cautious, being so wary of someone who had just reached the lower ranks of the Ferocious Realm.

[Nagato Yuki's Glasses (Inferior)] Unlocked

Under the glasses, Orochi's data was displayed without reservation.

Half-bodied snake

[Ominous Position: Level 33]

[Note: A type of snake demon. When its strength reaches the ferocity level or above and it has devoured enough humans, the female will transform into human form, and the male's upper body will transform into human form, greatly increasing its demonic power.]

Perhaps the half-snake's strength is far inferior to that of the girls in Gensokyo, or perhaps [Nagato Yuki's Glasses (Inferior)] has more comprehensive functions and reveals more information than the fake one.

And myself now

【Saigyouji Temple Breeze/Wu Style】

[Inferior Rank: Level 21]

It was already at the peak of the strong level, so it was impossible for it to advance to the lower level of ferocious rank 1. Although the distance between the lower and middle levels of ferocious rank is not as insurmountable as the distance between the strong level and the middle level of ferocious rank, it is still difficult to cross. Ordinary bullet attacks have almost no effect on the half-body snake.

"Undead, I'll give you one more chance. Get out of my sight." The half-serpent's eyes gleamed with a chilling light as its body slithered across the ground.

"I refuse." Wu Feng was also a little apprehensive. Winning against a level more than 100 above was too difficult. Although he still had a last resort: spending 10 Holy Marks to exchange for a special item, the [Durability Potion], which could restore 10,000 durability points, and then using [Hua Xu's Eternal Slumber], would guarantee a victory. However, facing the upcoming mission, Wu Feng would lose all his trump cards.

Considering the special nature of the undead, the giant snake, which had already become a spirit, gave Wu Feng a chance to live, as refusing had thoroughly enraged the half-snake.

"You're courting death! I'll grant your wish!"

Its enormous body moved with speed far exceeding his own, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close to Wu Feng. Wu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and the bright yellow snake eyes appeared directly in front of him. Its blood-red maw suddenly opened, as if it wanted to swallow Wu Feng whole.

Fortunately, having reached the lower level of ferocity, his abilities in all aspects were enhanced several times over, and he narrowly escaped the bloody mouth of the half-bodied snake.

After dodging the attack, Wu Feng quickly regained his balance. Before the half-snake could turn around, a black light flashed in Wu Feng's hand, and a blood-stained woodcutter's knife appeared in his hand. Without pausing, he chopped down hard, and sparks flew everywhere. Wu Feng felt a numbness in his hand, just like when he was on Earth, when he used a kitchen knife to cut steel.

Looking at the snake's body again, a cut appeared on its scales, with blood seeping out from the cut, but it healed in an instant.

Wu Feng frowned. He hadn't expected that the bloodstained woodcutter's knife wouldn't work either. At the high level, a bloodstained woodcutter's knife was virtually invincible against enemies, and few monsters could remain unscathed under its power. However, against a mid-level ferocious monster, even with its sharpness, it seemed unlikely to cause much damage, unless it was a monster of the opposite sex.

Since it wouldn't cause any major damage, he decisively put away the blood-stained woodcutter's knife. In the short time it took to put away the knife, Wu Feng discovered that he was surrounded. The snake's body, which had been moving all along, had circled around him several times, trapping him in the very center. The ugly snake head, half-bodied, was staring at him from above.

Perhaps the half-snake never intended to devour Wu Feng in one go; that was its true purpose.

"Dead spirit, you have no chance anymore," the half-serpent mocked from the top, its mouth opening wide as countless streams of acid sprayed out, rushing towards Wu Feng like a torrent.

Looking at the continuous stream of acid, Wu Feng was delighted. Before his advancement, a single mouthful of acid had already exhausted him, let alone a continuous stream. But now he had a new idea. His right hand shimmered with purple light, its brilliance almost covering most of his body. Five beams of death energy, each as thick as an arm, shot out rapidly, heading straight for the acid.

The basic rune skill, [Light of the Unborn], focuses more on penetration and speed compared to ordinary bullet patterns. Although it is a basic rune skill, its penetration is higher than that of ordinary second-tier rune skills.

Five beams of purple death light shot densely towards the acid, hissing continuously. The acid in the center was repeatedly pierced and neutralized by the [Light of Unborn], ultimately burning a hollow hole devoid of liquid. Wu Feng seized the opportunity to fly out.

The Light of Unborn, after penetrating the acid, was almost gone. Due to the obstructed vision, it struck the snake's body, leaving a painless scorch mark before disappearing.

Before the half-snake could react, Wu Feng's prepared killing move, the most penetrating skill among all the rune techniques, had arrived after he unleashed the [Light of the Unborn].

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Death Gun of the Phoenix Butterfly

The Death Shot of the Swallowtail Butterfly

Wu Feng unleashed a frenzied burst of death power, leaving behind a beautiful trail of brilliant purple light in mid-air.

After the light faded, a huge fan-shaped screen appeared behind Wu Feng. The screen was ten zhang tall and more than twenty zhang long. From left to right, it changed from dark blue to bright purple. It was decorated with patterns of carriages, clouds, and flowers, and was breathtakingly beautiful under the purple and blue light.

The entire sky was illuminated by the Hellish Landscape Fan, displaying a gradient of purple and blue hues that could be seen even from a distance of hundreds of miles.

Having already sent many elderly people to the back mountain, and now that she was out of the battlefield, Mokou looked at the magnificent fan screen and felt a surge of resentment. Why was she so weak that she couldn't go in and help him?

"Lord Fujiwara, is that Saigyouji-sama over there?" One of the old men walked out shakily and asked Mokou, his eyes filled with an inexplicable light, and even his speech became respectful.

"If Youfeng fights with the demon again, I have to hurry back to help him." Apart from the old man Ishida, the gazes of the others made Mokou feel uncomfortable. She gave a forced reply and quickly left.

Not everyone can have the mindset of old man Ishida.

The destruction of the acid enraged the half-snake, but the moment the fan appeared, a tremor ran through its heart. The fan's death power was immense, but it posed no threat to the prepared snake. However, its long-standing survival instinct told it to leave; being hit from this angle was very dangerous.

The half-snake, which had lived for an unknown amount of time, finally trusted its instincts and broke apart from Wu Feng. Its body then swam away from Wu Feng at top speed.

Wu Feng hovered in mid-air, ignoring the movements of the half-snake, his eyes suddenly shooting out purple light, and the fan-shaped screen behind him also began to move.

Inside the fan screen, countless light butterflies, born from blue and purple light, flew towards the half-serpent, like falling meteors. Whether there were thousands or tens of thousands, before one wave had even finished, a second wave had already been born.

In the second wave, blue-purple light guns were also interspersed among the light butterflies. The light guns ranged in length from several meters to tens of meters and shone with blue-purple light. Their number was less than one percent of the number of light butterflies, but it was still a huge number given the vast number of light butterflies.
