25: Poison Cat King and the familiar pink light

The two turned their heads to look, only to see Quan Wudi frantically smashing the Cat Demons in front of him with his Gauntlets. However, a Cat Demon suddenly jumped up behind him and fiercely scratched his back with its long claws.

Blood instantly gushed from Quan Wudi's back, leaving three shockingly long bloody gashes.

In fact, Quan Wudi had already noticed the Cat Demon behind him when it took an attacking stance, but the Cat Demon's attack speed was extremely fast. With Quan Wudi's speed, he couldn't dodge at all and could only take the hit.

Xiao Hongyuan wasn't idling either. Seeing Quan Wudi injured, she immediately used Wave Split Slash to repel the surrounding Cat Demons and turned to stand behind him.

"Don't worry, I've got your back. Hurry up and finish them off!"

Seeing Xiao Hongyuan behind him, Quan Wudi felt greatly reassured. He continued his attack on the Cat Demons in front of him. His fist techniques were very fast, and combined with the unique physical arts of a Fighter, he managed to stabilize the situation for a time.

On Jian Wuxie and A Fei's side, thanks to the Heavenly Thunder attack that came with A Fei's Thunder Rage, they eliminated the Cat Demon swarm very quickly. In just a few minutes, only a few scattered Cat Demons remained, circling the two and looking for an opening to attack.

Suddenly, another cat's meow came from the forest, and all four of them smelled a pungent odor.

A dark purple Cat Demon emerged from the forest, emitting a pungent smell and staring at the four of them with predatory eyes.

The Cat Demons that were originally besieging the four suddenly became frenzied. They stopped dodging attacks entirely and began to scratch and bite at the four of them like mad.

"That dark purple Cat Demon should be the Boss, the Poison Cat King. Everyone, be careful!" A Fei warned.

The Poison Cat King let out a meow and instantly appeared beside Jian Wuxie. Its speed was so fast that Jian Wuxie didn't even have time to react.

The Poison Cat King swung its claws directly at Jian Wuxie. Unable to dodge in time, Jian Wuxie's calf was scratched by the purple-black claws.

His face instantly turned a dark grey, and his health began to drop rapidly.

"Damn, its attacks carry poison!" Jian Wuxie quickly warned, pulling out a Shining remis kiss and drinking it.

As the potion took effect, the poison on Jian Wuxie was also cleared. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated, trying to put distance between himself and the Poison Cat King.

By this time, A Fei had finished off the last few Cat Demons surrounding them. He quickly turned and used Uppercut, sending the Poison Cat King flying backward.

"It's alright. This Boss's strength isn't that high; Uppercut works on it. It's just too fast, making it hard to react!" A Fei analyzed calmly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hongyuan and Quan Wudi were still being besieged by ordinary Cat Demons and couldn't provide support for the moment. Xiao Hongyuan shouted to A Fei, "You two hold it off for a bit; we'll finish up here as quickly as possible!"

After landing, the Poison Cat King cautiously circled Jian Wuxie and A Fei, not rushing in blindly, seemingly waiting for them to get distracted.

Seeing this, A Fei bit his teeth, extended his left hand, and muttered, "Kazans Blade Soul, come forth!"

A Fei's left hand instantly became crimson and hideous. A pale red Formation appeared before him, with a phantom of a Ghost God standing within it, its eyes faintly glowing.

Looking at the phantom of Kazan summoned by A Fei, Jian Wuxie asked in confusion, "A Fei, what's going on? Why do I feel like the Ghost God you summoned has a more powerful Aura than the one I summon?"

A Fei had never seen other Ghost Swordsmen summon Ghost Gods either, so he naturally couldn't compare. He could only shake his head, indicating he didn't know.

Jian Wuxie checked his stats and exclaimed, "And the stat boosts from your Formation are much higher than the one I summon!"

A Fei didn't have time for the surprised Jian Wuxie and shouted, "Let's deal with the Poison Cat King first!"

At this moment, the Poison Cat King also sensed that the enemies within the Formation seemed to have become stronger. It gave a strange cry and immediately pounced.

With their stats significantly boosted inside the Formation, the two were actually able to barely keep up with the Poison Cat King's speed. While the Poison Cat King was still in mid-air from its pounce, A Fei used Wave Split Slash, trapping it in mid-air.

Seeing the Poison Cat King controlled, Jian Wuxie immediately jumped and followed up with a Mountain Collapse Strike. His greatsword struck the Poison Cat King's head, and the massive force, combined with the shockwave, smashed it into the ground, making the Poison Cat King howl in pain.

A Fei swung his Thunder Rage, instantly landing three slashes on the grounded Poison Cat King. Lightning flickered on the blade, proving surprisingly effective against the Poison Cat King.

Suddenly, there was a boom from the sky. A Fei's Thunder Rage triggered a Heavenly Thunder attack, striking the Poison Cat King's body directly. It let out another howl of pain, its body emitting a pungent odor, and suddenly a cloud of purple smoke erupted from its rear.

"Holy crap, it's poison gas! A Fei, retreat!" Jian Wuxie quickly warned.

A Fei's reaction was indeed fast. Just as Jian Wuxie's warning was shouted, he covered his nose and mouth and quickly jumped backward, even leaving an afterimage in the air.

Having just finished off the last ordinary Cat Demon, Xiao Hongyuan marveled, "So that's how the Backstep skill is used. It's much faster than normal movement techniques, though the distance is a bit short!"

Once the poison mist dissipated, the Poison Cat King's form was revealed, baring its teeth and threatening the two.

Seeing the Poison Cat King's mangled flesh, Jian Wuxie laughed, "A Fei, it looks like this beast is afraid of your Heavenly Thunder."

A Fei smiled slightly and said, "It's not afraid of Heavenly Thunder, but rather Light attribute attacks! My Thunder Rage's attacks come with the Light attribute, which deals extra damage to it."

"Ah? So attribute attacks are this powerful?"

"From what I can see, this Poison Cat King is naturally Dark attribute, so it's naturally countered by Light attribute attacks," Xiao Hongyuan analyzed calmly.

A Fei didn't give the Poison Cat King any breathing room. He used Three-Stage Slash to close in quickly and started with an Uppercut, sending the Poison Cat King into the air.

By now, Jian Wuxie was covered in cat blood from the Cat Demons he'd killed. He seemed to have undergone some strange Awakening of his traits as he laughed wildly, immediately followed up with a Mountain Collapse Strike, and frantically swung his Heavy sword at the Poison Cat King.

Xiao Hongyuan's support arrived. As soon as she stepped into the Ghost God Formation A Fei had summoned, she felt something unusual. Her stats had increased by far too much. Could there be a difference between the Ghost God Formations summoned by different people?

Push aside her doubts, she used an Uppercut to send the Poison Cat King, which was about to land, back into the air, smoothly joining the two's attack rhythm.

To the side, Quan Wudi cursed somewhat gloomily, "Damn, you guys are awesome. Bullying me because my weapon is broken, right? Fine, you guys fight, I'll take a break."

After A Fei triggered the Heavenly Thunder once more, the Poison Cat King howled, and its entire body turned into white light and began to dissipate.

A flash of light suddenly burst from within the white light, and two items fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.

Looking at that familiar pink glow, A Fei smiled and said, "It looks like our luck is pretty good!"
