Chapter 218: Facing the Demons

’Whatever, it’s just one demon anyway.’

Clenching his fists, he coated it with a layer of Qi, and the next instant, slammed it straight into the demon’s chest.

The demon flew back several meters before crashing and rolling on the ground. When its body came to a stop, it started screeching and writhing in pain.

Since the other party wasn’t a human, Yi Chen didn’t bother to restrain his strength, and thus, that punch carried all his might.

His brows gradually knitted as he observed the demon, which was clutching its chest tightly and was coughing up large patches of blood, dark green in colour.

Although it was roaring and writhing in pain, life didn’t seem to fade from its eyes.

The demon tried to stand up and retaliate, but the damage Yi Chen’s strike had done to its internal organs didn’t allow it to do so. The next second, it fell back on the ground, roaring and crying with a wild fury.

Taking a deep breath, he soon shook those thoughts away and, walking a couple of steps closer, stomped his foot right onto the demon’s head.

Even though its physique was tougher when compared to humans, its skull still failed to withstand the force and buckled under it.

’Shouldn’t have done that...’ he thought with a disgusted expression and pulled his leg back.

Meanwhile, the demon’s convulsing limbs soon came to a stop as life completely faded from its body.

A confused frown had just taken shape on Yi Chen’s face when the black smoke rushed straight into his nostrils and forced itself into his lungs.

Cough! Cough!

However, it didn’t.

’Just what was-’

’Whatever that was...I’ll worry about it later,’ he gritted his teeth in frustration as he rushed towards the incoming demons.

Nothing else took precedence over keeping himself alive at this moment.

’I don’t feel any changes in my body, so at least it isn’t poisonous...’

When they were dealt with just like the previous demon, they too disintegrated into thick black smoke and rushed straight into his body.

Another wave of demons soon materialised.

’So that’s how it is...’ Yi Chen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at their number.

’One...two and then four...so the next wave should be eight.’

’...Just how many waves are going to be there...’

There was no definite answer in his mind, and therefore, he decided to use his Qi as conservatively as possible.

As a result, his movement suffered greatly.

As he dealt with the last demon, Yi Chen’s expression grew worried.

’If their number goes beyond then the injuries I’ll be suffering won’t be this minor....’

"This?!"

Seeing this, a glimmer appeared in Yi Chen’s eyes.

His attention was soon pulled by the eight demons that had materialised the next moment.

"Come at me, you demons!" he roared, adrenaline coursing through his veins, and he dealt with all of them with great intensity.

And that’s exactly what happened.

When the choking sensation died out, all his wounds were completely healed.

"Hahaha, I can go full berserk again!" He exclaimed with crazed excitement and lunged towards them before they could even attack.

"Die!"

However, that didn’t mean the demons went down easily.

As the cluster of black smoke healed his wounds, Yi Chen failed to notice a subtle change in his skin’s pigmentation. It had turned subtly darker in tone.

Seeing more than sixty demons glaring murderously towards him, the craziness in Yi Chen’s eyes only increased.

It took him more than three hours to clear this wave, and the excitement in his eyes had finally started to wane.

His stomach was growling while his parched tongue was begging for water. However, with no access to his storage ring, he couldn’t meet both their demands.

’At this rate, I’ll definitely die of exhaustion by the time the next wave starts....’

’Yes...that might just work...’

ZAHIIIIR!

’Disgusting...’

The nearby demons immediately lunged at him, not allowing him to continue.

’Looks like this is the only weapon I can get here...’

Whenever the claw got drenched in the demons’ blood, he would lick it clean with a disgusted expression on his face.

It took him seven hours to clear this wave as enormous clusters of black smoke seemed to engulf the sky the next instant before rushing towards Yi Chen.

An intense tarry ash-like taste spread in his mouth the next moment as tears began to slide down the sides of his eyes. However, with no way to stop it, he could only wait for a few minutes before all of it had fully assimilated into his body.

His hands...all the way from his fingers to his forearms had turned jet black in colour just like those demons.
