Before he could react, a black shadow flashed past.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing.
Xie Fei's figure froze in place.
His face showed a mix of shock and disbelief.
He slowly lowered his head to look.
He saw a black, elongated object piercing through his chest.
At the same time, the form of the black shadow was clearly revealed.
It was a slender black tail, covered in jet-black scales.
Under the moonlight, it shimmered faintly, like a dark whip.
And the owner of this tail was Chen Fan, who had been kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, black mist swirled around him, and his injuries healed rapidly at a visible rate.
Concurrently, Xie Fei's previously plump and full skin visibly shriveled, as if all moisture had been drained from him.
"Quick, quick... kill him, he's about to undergo a transformation..."
Xie Fei's face twisted in pain, his gaze fixed on Hu Qi, filled with regret and deep unwillingness.
He seemed to regret why he hadn't finished him off earlier, why he had felt pity.
Alas, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
After struggling to utter these words, his body turned into a skeletal figure, just skin and bones, and he collapsed to the ground.
All of this happened extremely quickly, in just two or three seconds.
Due to the distance between them, even if Hu Qi had wanted to rescue him, it would have been too late.
"So this is what it feels like to eat a living person, it's truly wonderful, I was wrong, I should have listened to A Ling and done this sooner."
Chen Fan spoke slowly.
His previously twisted arms had fully recovered, and not only that, a layer of subtle Black Mist surged around him, making him appear eerie and sinister.
"You dared to kill A Ling, I will make you..."
He turned his gaze towards Hu Qi's location.
His words stopped abruptly halfway through, as Hu Qi's figure was already about to disappear behind the distant stone monument.
Although Hu Qi didn't know what Xie Fei meant by 'transformation', the current situation, even with common sense, indicated it was definitely not a good thing.
After this guy's outburst, his strength greatly increased, instantly killing Xie Fei with one move.
If he continued to stay here and couldn't win, wouldn't he also follow in Xie Fei's footsteps?
"Trying to run? Too late!"
Chen Fan chuckled, the scarlet glow in his eyes growing more intense.
With the Black Mist as a backdrop, he looked like a demon walking among humans.
At this moment, he felt better than ever before.
He felt as if his true nature had been unleashed.
It was as if his current self was his true self.
Watching the fleeing Hu Qi, he laughed heartily, moved his feet, and like a ghost, quickly pursued him.
In the vast cemetery, two figures moved, one in front of the other.
Bang!
Suddenly, the black tail shot out, directly snapping several arm-thick trees in half.
The sharp tailbone stabbed directly towards Hu Qi's back.
Clang!
Hu Qi drew his saber and slashed, and the two collided, producing a sound like metal striking metal.
The black long tail was deflected by the impact.
"Hmm?"
After taking the blow, Hu Qi stood still, no longer choosing to run.
He found that this guy's speed was no less than his own, and with a tail like a black whip striking and interfering, escaping would be very difficult.
Of course, there was also the most important point.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression seemed a little strange.
The force from the opponent's tail just now didn't seem very strong.
He had originally thought that since the opponent could instantly kill Xie Fei, his strength should be far superior to Xie Fei's.
But now, it seemed he had overestimated the opponent.
"Not going to run anymore?"
Chen Fan's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"I just want to be a good person, but you guys insist on forcing me. It's not my fault that I became a Black Blood Species, I just want to live..."
"So much nonsense. What's right or wrong? I only know that today, either you kill me, or I kill you, it's that simple!"
Hu Qi sneered.
With that, he took a step forward.
Gurgle...
His Qi and blood surged, making a sound like rushing water within his Physical Body.
His body suddenly expanded, becoming even more robust and tall, his clothes stretched taut against him.
Holding his long saber, he charged fiercely towards the opponent.
"Courting death!"
Chen Fan's eyes were cold.
The next moment, the black tail behind him swayed, carrying a sound of tearing air, and stabbed directly from behind Hu Qi.
If such a blow connected, the opponent would surely die.
Thinking of the wonderful feeling of absorbing power from that person just now, the scarlet glow in Chen Fan's eyes intensified.
Clang!
Sparks flew!
The imagined scene of the opponent being pierced through with one blow did not occur; instead, his tailbone didn't feel like it struck flesh and blood, but rather like it hit a person cast from steel, and was directly bounced back.
Chen Fan's expression changed abruptly, and his figure quickly retreated, creating distance from the charging Hu Qi.
At the same time, the jet-black long tail whipped, producing a tearing roar in the air, almost turning into an afterimage, frantically attacking Hu Qi's body.
During this fierce process, the trees caught in the crossfire were fragile and easily broken, snapping directly, with wood chips flying everywhere like snowflakes.
Even the incredibly hard tombstones, after being struck by the long tail, showed shocking cracks on their surfaces, indicating the immense force behind the blows.
However, facing such a situation, Hu Qi merely raised one hand to protect his face, making no other defense whatsoever.
Soon, his clothes became tattered from the attacks, strips of fabric falling away, also revealing his robust physique.
A bronze-like body, with gray and white Cloud patterns outlined upon it, like an iron man cast from steel.
At this moment, with Cloud Iron Body fully activated, Hu Qi's body surface immediately seemed to be covered in a layer of iron armor.
No matter how the opponent's tailbone, capable of piercing through a human Physical Body with a single strike, landed on him, it could only leave small, shallow cuts on his skin, causing no real harm.
With the Major Achievement of Cloud Iron Body fully activated, Hu Qi was completely immune to the opponent's attacks.
Under such frantic and continuous attacks, no effect was seen.
Even Chen Fan, who was currently in his transformation period, couldn't help but feel a hint of fear.
This also caused the black tail, which was originally as fast as lightning, to pause slightly.
And in this instant, Hu Qi's eyes lit up, and the arm that had been guarding his face suddenly shot out, as fast as lightning, grabbing the black tail suspended in the air.
The black tail felt cold to the touch, like holding a jet-black long snake.
"Had enough of stabbing? It's my turn!"
Hu Qi grinned savagely, holding on with one hand, while the other hand raised his horizontal saber high and brought it down fiercely.
Clang!
However, the black tail was much harder than imagined; the blade only left a faint white mark on the scales, without any effect.
"Hahahaha, you think you can hurt me with that long saber in your hand!"
Chen Fan laughed heartily at the sight.
However, the next moment, his words abruptly stopped, as he felt a tremendous force.
He looked to see that at some point, Hu Qi had directly dropped the long saber in his hand and was gripping his tail with both hands.
Due to the pulling, the tail was stretched perfectly straight.
"I'll send you flying!"
Hu Qi sneered, grabbing the black tail with both hands, he suddenly lifted it and brought it down.
His arms moved like high-speed robotic arms, continuously repeating the actions of lifting and smashing.
The next moment, Chen Fan's feet directly lifted off the ground.
As his vision spun, he was flung high into the air, then crashed down with a thud.
There was a loud "bang," and a cloud of dust rose from the ground, as if even the earth trembled under the violent impact.
