Chapter 129: Fighting to the Death

Xiao Fen rushed a few steps and arrived in front of the Buddha Hall. Just as he was about to push the door, his heart suddenly moved, and he spread out all his perception.

His Spirit was originally high, and leveling up to Level 2 added 4 points of Spirit. Plus, the wooden door was not thick enough and had many gaps. Therefore, in an instant, Xiao Fen’s perception figured out the situation behind the wooden door clearly.

Behind the wooden door, there were three prayer mats. The prayer mat in the middle was empty, but on the two prayer mats on the sides, two human-shaped things were sitting cross-legged. It was unclear what they were, but they both had their heads facing the door, lying prone there, seeming to have a somewhat hostile aura.

Xiao Fen secretly rejoiced in his heart. If he hadn’t had that warning just now and just entered directly, being pounced on by two monsters head-on, plus the extreme darkness in the room, even if he wasn’t injured, he would probably have suffered a great loss.

He paused for a moment. Xiao Fen suddenly knocked lightly on the door, his perception continuing to explore constantly in this Buddha Hall.

Those two human-shaped monsters were originally preparing to pounce head-on after Xiao Fen entered. They didn’t expect Xiao Fen didn’t enter but instead knocked lightly on the door outside. Caught off guard, they let out a vague roar, and their entire posture and spirit became lax.

In the nick of time, right at that instant, Xiao Fen suddenly pushed open the wooden door. The creaking sound broke the silence of the courtyard. Then, a streak of saber light suddenly burst forth from Xiao Fen’s hand, slashing towards the monster on his right that hadn’t yet fully reacted to what was happening.

No matter how the monster calculated, its wisdom was ultimately somewhat lacking compared to Xiao Fen. By the time it realized Xiao Fen’s knocking was just a feint, it was already a step too late. Plus, Xiao Fen’s Agility was high, so it was truly a case of his eyes arriving before his blade. Before the monster could make a dodging movement, with a “pfft” sound, the long saber slashed into the monster’s body.

Just at that moment, the monster on Xiao Fen’s left couldn’t hold back. Taking advantage of Xiao Fen focusing on dealing with the other side and making no sound, it pounced fiercely on Xiao Fen’s side and back.

Xiao Fen seemed to have expected the left monster’s attack early on. His left hand flicked, and the Windproof Lantern drew an arc in the air, slightly blocking the monster’s line of sight. Then, they only heard Xiao Fen shout in a low voice: “Hit!”

With a “bang,” the left monster was hit from a distance by an air mass in Xiao Fen’s hand. Its body suddenly stalled. With nothing to leverage in the air, the Qigong knockback effect kicked in, directly blasting this monster away.

Only then did two lines of damage data appear in Xiao Fen’s eyes.

“You dealt 15 points of damage to Blood Sea Soul.”

“You dealt 55 points of Burst damage to Blood Sea Soul, you knocked back Blood Sea Soul.”

Looking at the data, Xiao Fen’s mind moved slightly, and he already knew that these two monsters in front of him, regardless of level, could probably reduce physical damage. Instead, his Qigong could deal bonus damage to them.

It was just that the cooldown for Qigong was too long; it would take more than a minute to use it again. At this moment, Xiao Fen couldn’t worry about much. He lowered his left hand and waved the long saber in his other hand a few times in the Buddha Hall, landing another blow on the right monster and taking the opportunity to drive it away.

This exchange took only a moment. By the time the two monsters were forced far away by Xiao Fen, the Windproof Lantern Xiao Fen threw out earlier finally landed on the ground, making a slight sound. Before long, the flame inside ignited the paper membrane outside the Windproof Lantern, and gradually, it became brighter in this Buddha Hall.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Fen glanced around. Those two monsters were both hiding in the darkness of the Buddha Hall, their shadows indistinct and unclear. At most, only their limbs could be seen clearly. The limbs of these two monsters were incredibly long, and the joints couldn’t be seen. They were pitch black, and the fingers hadn’t even differentiated.

In this Buddha Hall, there was also a life-sized Buddha statue. In the flickering firelight, Xiao Fen couldn’t see clearly which Buddha was being worshipped in this Buddha Hall for a moment. He only knew that this Buddha statue was a standing statue, its two hands seemed to be holding something, and the corners of its mouth held a slight smile. In this kind of light, the statue’s smile was indescribably weird.

Just at that moment, the monster on Xiao Fen’s left that was knocked back by Qigong came back. From a distance of several meters away from Xiao Fen, it leaped high and pounced towards Xiao Fen. The front ends of its hands also suddenly became extremely sharp, looking like two knives chopping towards Xiao Fen together.

Xiao Fen was waiting for exactly this moment. Seeing the left monster charging up and the right monster staying still due to injury, Xiao Fen slightly turned his body and lunged forward. With his right hand, he blocked the monster’s hands with the saber. Suddenly, a light flashed in his left hand. Then, Xiao Fen swung his left hand forcefully. With a “bang,” a ball of light bombarded the monster’s chest, then suddenly scattered. Green liquid covered half of the monster’s body.

The monster’s body suddenly stopped, unable to continue its movement in the air, and it fell down stiffly.

Xiao Fen had been secretly creating a Paralytic Poison Agent in his left hand since earlier, and by now, it was already in his grip. After this poison agent was created, it was wrapped in a layer of light film, looking like a hand grenade. Taking advantage of the monster having no defense at all, he threw it out, hitting the opponent perfectly.

“Your Paralytic Poison Agent hit Blood Sea Soul, Blood Sea Soul has fallen into a Paralyzed state.”

“You dealt 4 points of damage to Blood Sea Soul.”

How could Xiao Fen let go of this opportunity? He turned his body slightly and already moved behind the monster. He pulled the saber hard across the monster’s neck. He only heard the monster let out a low hiss, and rolling pus constantly flowed from the wound.

“You dealt a critical hit on Blood Sea Soul, you dealt 30 points of damage to Blood Sea Soul.”

“Blood Sea Soul has fallen into a Bleeding state, losing 15 Health every 3 seconds for 12 seconds.”

Xiao Fen pulled the saber back and hacked fiercely at the monster’s back again. Only then did the monster react.

“You dealt 15 points of damage to Blood Sea Soul.”

“Blood Sea Soul’s Paralyzed state has been lifted.”

“Blood Sea Soul lost 15 Health due to the Bleeding state.”

This monster’s resistance to paralysis was so high, which was something Xiao Fen hadn’t expected. Although the absolute paralysis time was still 3 seconds, the subsequent paralysis duration was completely cleared. Even the small damage the Paralytic Poison Agent caused to the monster’s life was eliminated. This kind of monster was much more powerful than the monsters Xiao Fen had encountered before.

One had to know, Xiao Fen still had a Vicnaier’s Sigh Poison Sac in his backpack, which increased the effect of the Paralytic Poison Agent and could also reduce the opponent’s resistance. Under these circumstances, it only paralyzed it for 3 seconds. One could imagine how high this monster’s paralysis resistance was.

However, at this point, it didn’t matter much. With consecutive attacks, plus the Qigong attack at the beginning, altogether, Xiao Fen had caused 120 damage to this monster. He only needed to add a few more stabs to completely finish this monster off.

Just at that moment, the other monster also rushed up fiercely. It let out a sudden low roar from its mouth. In that instant, Xiao Fen felt his head go dizzy, and he almost sat on the ground.

At the same time, his feet also felt a stinging pain, and the text in front of his eyes started floating anew.

“You were hit by a Toxin Pollution attack, lost 5 Health.”
