Chapter 295: Chapter 295: A Drowned Sinner (5)

“Eh?”

The sharp stench of burning blood filled the air.

Li Feng’s body froze.

His pupils trembled as he turned to look at his left arm.

Because where his left arm had been a moment ago…

…there was nothing.

His entire arm had been obliterated.

SPURT!!

His pupils shrank violently as blood sprayed from the torn remains of his shoulder, the flesh reduced to scattered ash and vapor by the terrifying black blast.

Pain exploded through his body.

“..!!”

For a brief moment, Li Feng didn’t even understand what had happened.

He only knew that if his body hadn’t instinctively dodged just now… it wouldn’t have been his arm that got pulverized.

It would have been his entire body.

Li Feng slowly turned to look at the Apostle.

As the black flash faded, he could finally see what that thing was holding.

“…A bow?”

The Apostle was currently holding a bow formed from condensed black liquid, twisting and writhing like living water.

Dark ripples pulsed along its length, as if something inside it was breathing.

Even the air around it distorted faintly.

Li Feng’s breathing grew heavier.

Cold sweat slid down his temple as blood continued pouring from his ruined shoulder, dripping into the rising black water below.

Drip…

Drip…

The liquid swallowed the blood instantly, as if the chamber itself was hungry.

Li Feng’s gaze remained locked on the Apostle.

That thing stood silently in the distance, its towering body unmoving.

Then Li Feng noticed something else.

…There was no arrow on that grotesque bow.

Yet the space between the bowstring and the frame trembled faintly.

As if something invisible was already nocked.

And the Apostle slowly beginning to moved again.

The moment it moved, Li Feng’s pupils shrank.

His instincts screamed…. louder than before.

Every nerve in his body felt as if it were being stabbed by icy needles.

The Apostle slowly raised the bow.

The black liquid around its arm flowed upward, forming a thin string that stretched across the weapon.

Then—

It pulled.

Crack…

The invisible force between the bowstring condensed instantly.

The surrounding air distorted violently, compressing into a small point of darkness.

Even the black water at the Apostle’s feet began to ripple outward, as if something enormous was about to be unleashed.

Li Feng felt his scalp go numb.

’…Dodge!’

His legs moved before his brain could even finish the thought.

SPLASH!!

Li Feng’s body exploded sideways, silver qi erupting beneath his feet as he forced himself to move despite the agony pain he felt through his shoulder.

His figure shot away like a silver flash of light and at that—

The Apostle released the bowstring of darkness.

TWANG!!

The sound wasn’t loud.

It was soft.

But the moment it echoed… the world lost its light once again.

BOOOOOOM!!!

A beam of condensed black destruction tore across the chamber like a bolt of annihilation.

The water on the floor parted violently as the attack carved a deep trench through the stone.

CRACK!!

The wall behind Li Feng shattered instantly as the beam struck it, just as Li Feng dodged.

Chunks of that unknown stone collapsed into the flooding chamber.

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

Li Feng rolled across the ground before sliding to a stop several meters away.

“Cough!”

Blood spilled from his lips as he forced himself back onto his feet.

His chest rose and fell heavily.

Behind him—

A massive hole could be seen on the ancient wall.

Li Feng stared at the destruction silently for a moment before turning to look at the Apostle.

“…Yeah.”

He wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his remaining hand.

“I definitely can’t let it fire again…”

Li Feng noticed that the Apostle itself wasn’t growing stronger than him yet…

…but that strange bow was definitely bad news.

The Apostle slowly raised the bow again as black water rippled around its feet like a responding tide.

The air immediately began compressing once more as a dark point formed between the frame and the string.

Li Feng felt the pressure locking onto him like a chain around his neck.

His instincts screamed.

’Too dangerous!’

He didn’t hesitate and go on offensive as silver qi erupted beneath his feet and Li Feng shot forward instead of retreating.

The flooded water exploded behind him as he dashed straight toward the Apostle.

FLASH!

Li Feng’s body burst forward in a silvery flash like a falling star.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly beneath the Apostle.

Silver qi surged violently through his muscles as he twisted his body and drove his remaining arm upward.

BANG!!

His fist slammed into the Apostle’s abdomen like a rising meteor.

BOOOOMM!!

The impact thundered through the chamber as the Apostle’s massive body lurched violently from Li Feng’s strike.

For the first time… it began to feel pain.

[…!]

The creature seemed to realize something.

…This blow was even heavier than before.

BOOM!!

A violent shockwave exploded outward as the Apostle’s enormous body was blasted upward into the air from the strike.

Water erupted in a massive ring around them as the force rippled across the flooded floor

Li Feng’s eyes flashed with light as the now one hundred and four stars inside the Starforge Body flared violentl

“I’m not done yet!!

CRACK!

He kicked off the ground.

The stone beneath his feet shattered as his body shot upward after the Apostle like a silver comet.

FLASH!

In the next instant, he appeared beside the Apostle midair.

His fist gathered swirling strands of starlight and—

BANG!!

Another punch slammed into the creature’s ribs.

The Apostle’s massive body twisted sideways from the impact.

FLASH!

Li Feng vanished again, leaving only a trail of silvery starlight.

Then he appeared above it.

“Take this!”

His heel came crashing down like a falling star, smashing into the Apostle’s shoulder.

BOOM!!

The creature’s body plummeted downward like a collapsing mountain and the chamber shook violently.

SPLAAASH!!

The Apostle crashed into the black water below, sending a towering wave exploding across the chamber.

But Li Feng didn’t stop.

His body became nothing but streaks of silver light, flashing through the air.

FLASH!

FLASH!

FLASH!

Each movement faster than the last.

Each step leaving cracks along the ancient walls.

Li Feng ricocheted off the chamber walls like a shooting star bouncing, building momentum.

The entire chamber was soon filled with a beautiful trail of starlight, his figure impossible to discern.

Then—

He shot downward.

Silver qi erupted around his fist, swirling like a miniature galaxy.

And with a roar, he smashed down with everything he had.

“FALLING STAR FIST!”

BOOOOOOM!!!

His fist slammed into the Apostle’s chest like a meteor strike.

The impact detonated, sending a massive shockwave blasting across the chamber.

The black water beneath them exploded outward as if a bomb had gone off.

For a moment, a blinding light filled the chamber as the black waves crashed like a storm raging inside.

Soon, the Apostle’s huge body fell from the air like a meteor, smashing into the black flood below.

SPLASH!!
