Demon-Wraith Plagued World: From Commoner to Supreme - Chapter 40 - Late Stage Bone Forging, Perfected Iron Shirt

“Wu Hua, Chief Constable!” a disciple from the Demon Exorcism Division shouted.

By this time, the low-level Rat Demons at the rear had been cleared out. Lin Feng turned his head to look. The man wore a red and blue uniform, topped with a hat adorned with a feather. It was none other than Wu Hua, the Chief Constable of the County Yamen. Rumor had it that he was a master of the Vital Surge Realm. Today, it seemed his reputation was well-deserved! He had just cleaved the Fifth Realm Minor Demon in two with a single strike! Such power was truly terrifying!

At this moment, a group of constables also caught up. “Alas! Who would have thought Wang would fall to this vile creature! Fellow comrades of the Demon Exorcism Division, I must take my leave!” Wu Hua clasped his fists towards the group and then led the constables forward.

Lin Feng was watching Wu Hua when he suddenly felt a gaze upon him. He turned to see Xu Qiang! The man seemed surprised by Lin Feng’s sensitivity. Then he followed Wu Hua onward.

Although Wang had perished, the Demon-Wraiths continued to wreak havoc, making it impossible for the disciples of the Demon Exorcism Division to retreat. The veteran disciples had encountered such situations before. They gathered their forces, recorded their Military Merits, and continued moving forward. As for the Demon corpses, someone would naturally come to handle them later. They were marked with the insignia of the Demon Exorcism Division; no one dared to claim the credit falsely! If anyone dared to steal, the Division could track them by scent, and being caught would mean losing one’s head!

Lin Feng had slain a Second Realm Minor Demon, earning thirty Military Merits! If he could slay another, he would have enough merits for a Bone Refining Pill! Those pills were hard to come by outside and should increase his Upgrade Points significantly!

What excited Lin Feng was that the Second Realm Minor Demon had granted him a full thirty Upgrade Points! Although slaying Demon-Wraiths was dangerous, he was earning quickly! Not only were there Upgrade Points, but Military Merits too! It was a double reward! If he could kill a few more Second Realm Minor Demons, he could elevate his cultivation to the Tendon Changing Realm!

At this moment, Xu Qiang was filled with shock! He had just caught a glimpse of Lin Feng fighting the Demon, and it was clear he had already reached the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm! He had only joined the Demon Exorcism Division a few days ago, and he had already broken through to the Bone Forging Realm! If he continued to cultivate, the Xu family would be in trouble. No, he had to act immediately. Tonight’s Demon-Wraith attack was the perfect opportunity!

Just then, Wu Hua spoke up from the front. “There are too many low-level Demons, spread out! Groups of three, go and eliminate them! By the time we finish cleaning up, the people outside the city will be long gone!”

Wu Hua wasn’t concerned about these people; if they all died, there would be no way to explain it to the County Lord! The Demon Exorcism Division was monitoring them, and they didn’t care about the lives of the common folk. But the County Yamen had to.

Upon hearing Wu Hua’s orders, Xu Qiang was delighted! He then took two people and headed in different directions. Shortly after, he found Sun Ming from the Green Snake Society, handed him a box, gave a few instructions, and left the area.

Before long, after slaying several First Realm and Second Realm Rat Demons, Xu Qiang felt elated, believing that tonight was truly blessed.

He then deftly shook off his two constables and moved on alone.

Unbeknownst to him, someone had been quietly tailing him for some time.

The seasoned disciples of the Demon Exorcism Division were also aware of the numerous low-level demons.

They organized themselves into groups of three.

As they moved, Chen Fei noticed that Lin Feng was no longer behind him!

In such circumstances, there was no time to search; everyone had to fend for themselves.

With Lin Feng’s strength, even someone at the Perfected Bone Forging Realm could be held off for a while.

Sensing that tonight was a perfect night for settling scores, he seized the opportunity to break away from the group.

He wanted to see if there was a chance to eliminate the threat of Xu Qiang once and for all!

Suddenly, while traversing through the shantytown, Lin Feng heard a noise from a dark spot ahead.

He paused, drawing his blade, and cautiously approached the shadowy area.

Suddenly, a small dark figure darted away.

It was just a mouse.

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to continue forward, a shadowy figure emerged behind him.

The figure wielded a long sword, aiming a swift strike at Lin Feng’s back!

With a quick pivot, Lin Feng narrowly avoided the attack.

His clothing was slashed, but there was no blood!

Having cultivated the Iron Shirt to Major Mastery, the opponent’s speed-focused strike couldn’t penetrate his defense!

“Who?” Lin Feng demanded, assuming a defensive stance.

“If you want to know, ask the King of Hell!” the figure retorted.

With a flick of the wrist, the sword danced in a dazzling display, creating an illusion of countless sword tips, impossible to defend against!

This was a killing blow!

Lin Feng, calm and focused, swung his blade with lightning speed.

One sweeping slash, powerful enough to break through any defense!

The long blade clashed with the opponent’s sword.

With a resounding clang, the sword was cleaved in two!

The force was so great that the opponent’s hand was split open!

“Impossible! You deceived me! You’re not at the Body Forging Realm!” the figure exclaimed in shock.

Realizing the dire situation, the opponent turned to flee.

But in the next instant, Lin Feng’s blade whistled through the air, piercing the figure and sending them flying several yards before stopping!

The force was truly formidable!

“Xu, Xu Qiang, you, you deceived me!”

“You won’t get away with this…”

Before finishing, Sun Ming breathed his last.

Lin Feng approached the fallen figure, crushing the neck underfoot, and began searching the body.

A silver note worth a thousand taels, some loose silver coins.

A token from the Green Snake Society’s Hall Master.

Most importantly, a box. Lin Feng carefully opened it and sniffed.

“Bone Refining Pill!”

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Feng left the scene, tossing the body into the flames.

He swallowed the Bone Refining Pill in one gulp.

A surge of heat began to rise within him, only to be completely absorbed by the panel!

Upgrade Points: 75

He glanced at his panel.

Upgrade Points had accumulated to 75!

30 points from the Rat Demons, 20 from the Green Snake Society’s Hall Master, and 25 from the Bone Refining Pill.

In this situation, it was wise to quickly enhance his cultivation.

Lin Feng didn’t hesitate.

He allocated 50 points to his cultivation!

Then he maxed out the Iron Shirt!

He had witnessed the defensive power of his Major Mastery Iron Shirt.

A Mid-stage Bone Forging opponent couldn’t even harm him!

What would it be like to reach the Peak?

As the points were applied, Lin Feng’s aura surged, advancing to the Late Stage Bone Forging Realm!

His skin and bones, further strengthened by the Iron Shirt, became even more resilient.

His defense was now exponentially stronger than before!

Lin Feng estimated that only a master at the Tendon Transformation Realm could break through his defense!
