?Chapter 75: Chapter 73: 8 Seconds, Sneak Attack, Distract and Strike from Another Direction, Strong Kill! Chapter 75: Chapter 73: 8 Seconds, Sneak Attack, Distract and Strike from Another Direction, Strong Kill! Chu Feng steadied his spirit and softly, quietly, squeezed through the crack between two Tree Demons.
The roots of the two Tree Demons moved ever so slightly, and a tiny gap appeared between the large open mouths on their trunks.
But in that split-second, Chu Feng had already slipped inside.
Without detecting anything amiss, the Tree Demons soon settled down again.
Now, Chu Feng found himself in front of a structure built by the Bloodskin Wraith Demons.
From a distance, it was indistinct, but now, up close, he realized—
This was no mere thatched hut; it was more akin to a workshop made of tree trunks and thatch, with a height of seven or eight meters!
The Bloodskin Wraith Demons were significantly taller than the Human Race, so their rudimentary wooden door resembled a factory gate for humans, standing over five meters tall.
At this point, the effect of Wind Concealment had only 10 seconds left!
Under the pressure of time, Chu Feng flashed into the half-open gate.
The house didn’t have windows, so it was pitch-dark inside.
The house’s framework and the rafters above were made with huge wooden pegs hammered into the trunks of blood-red trees, held together in a manner that looked rough and insecure.
The roof was unevenly covered with thatch, sometimes allowing vague daylight to spill in from the gaps.
On the floor, massive pottery jars were strewn about haphazardly, leaving hardly any space to stand.
But none of this was the problem; what made Chu Feng’s hairs stand on end was—
At the far end of the room sat a Soldier-level Bloodskin Wraith Demon, staring menacingly in his direction!
Chu Feng’s body went rigid for a moment.
If the Wraith Demon shouted at this moment, Chu Feng feared he would be torn to shreds by the alerted Wraith Demons and the Tree Demons outside the house!
But the next second, he realized the Wraith Demon’s eyes weren’t on him, but on the half-closed gate.
Chu Feng forcefully calmed his racing heart, cursing vigorously in his mind.
If curses could harm, the Wraith Demon might have been sworn to death by now.
But immediately he tensed up again; he was running out of time!
Just 8 seconds remained!
He had to kill the Wraith Demon at the northernmost end of the room within these brief 8 seconds.
And he couldn’t let it make a single sound!
As mentioned before, the room was large.
The distance from north to south was at least thirty meters.
Chu Feng had entered from a door on the south side, nearly thirty meters away from the Wraith Demon.
And between them lay a clutter of pottery jars, severely obstructing his path forward.
He had to act immediately!
Chu Feng locked his gaze on those jars, his brain cells burning furiously.
He rapidly calculated the most convenient path.
And without hesitation, he stepped forward, his footfalls as light as Gale Step.
Rushing toward the distant Wraith Demon!
Fortunately, the Rapid Wind Steps technique allowed his body to feel light.
In combination with the state of Wind Concealment, his entire being floated effortlessly like a leaf.
Only then could he speed through the mass of jars in silence, avoiding every single one without so much as a touch.
5 seconds!
Chu Feng had already covered half the distance.
But suddenly, he discovered three neat rows of jars directly in front of him!
It was as though an orderly person had emerged among the typically erratic Wraith Demons.
Some jars were arranged in precise patterns.
Chu Feng’s momentum was already built up, no stopping now!
He had to step on the edges of the jars, propelling his body straight toward the Wraith Demon!
4 seconds!
But the jars he had just stepped on began to tilt slowly.
Then suddenly collided with a nearby jar.
“Clang!”
The somewhat muffled clattering wasn’t loud.
But in the quiet of the room, it rang out like thunder.
Instantly drawing the attention of the Wraith Demon!
“Hmm?”
The seated Wraith Demon snorted in confusion from its nostrils and turned its head in his direction.
Chu Feng’s heart clenched!
Pouncing from the air toward the enemy was certainly faster.
But it would inevitably cause a slight whooshing sound as it broke space.
From afar, it might be indistinct.
But up close, the Wraith Demon was sure to sense—
An invisible object hurling towards it!
Furthermore, the Wind Concealment wasn’t true invisibility.
Up close, one could clearly see the distortion of light!
I must divert the enemy’s attention!
Chu Feng’s mind raced as he touched his sleeve, finding the cufflinks.
He gently pulled off a button and flicked his finger slightly.
Aiming at a distant pottery jar, he gently flicked it!
“Ding!”
Another crisp sound attracted the Wraith Demon’s gaze.
3 seconds!
Chu Feng swiftly closed in on the puzzled Wraith Demon, gauging the distance.
Now was the time!
2 seconds, the Tang Sword suddenly unsheathed!
“Zing!”
A blade’s resonating sound full of murderous intent startled the Wraith Demon!
It turned its head to look.
Only to see a human-shaped transparent mosaic suddenly appearing not far in front of it!
Then, the mosaic’s surface turned into a gust of azure breeze and swiftly entered the Tang Sword.
The mosaic fell away to reveal a familiar face.
It was the human prodigy that the Mother Tree had specifically named to be captured!
A vicious smile was on the human’s face as muscles on his arm suddenly bulged.
The long blade swung, slashing towards him like lightning!
The Wraith Demon immediately opened its mouth to roar an alarm!
After a moment of surprise, it looked at Chu Feng in the air with a mocking gaze.
Idiot!
Thinking you can pull out your sword from such a distance.
Before you touch me, my kin would have already arrived!
Once I capture you, I will thoroughly interrogate you on just how you managed to slip in here!
But the next instant, the Wraith Demon’s eyes bulged.
The tip of the long sword suddenly condensed a beam of light, mysteriously heart-shaking!
The instant the Wraith Demon saw the beam of light, intuition surged within its heart.
This thing was something it absolutely could not withstand, the Nothing Indestructible!
But it was too late!
The final second!
Chu Feng swung the Tang Sword with all his might, and the blade’s light flashed.
As if tearing the air apart, the Sword Qi on the sword’s tip slashed directly at the Wraith Demon’s neck!
Its shout got stuck in its throat.
The last image in its eyes was that lightning-like beam of light, carving through the darkness!
…

“Huff… huff… huff…”
Chu Feng slowly set down the head of the Wraith Demon, suppressing his voice as he took deep breaths, forcefully pushing oxygen into his lungs.
It was only a short 8 seconds, but the psychological pressure along the way was immense!
Once the no-retreat infiltration and assassination began, it could not be stopped.
During those 8 seconds, he fully exhausted his body’s potential, exerting all his mental and combat strength.
To hide the sound, he even held his breath in the last few seconds despite the enormous oxygen consumption!
He had pushed himself to the(limit)!
In the end, he received a satisfactory result.
Surrounded by formidable enemies, he had assassinated a Demon Soldier within the enemy camp!
Looking down at the shriveled corpse of the Wraith Demon, Chu Feng was overwhelmed with a sense of achievement.
He suddenly understood why, in his previous life, so many people enjoyed playing as assassins and snipers in games.
The accomplishment and thrill of taking out a critical enemy from the shadows, at the moment of utmost urgency, were truly soul-stirring.
…
It took Chu Feng a long while to calm down the restlessness in his heart and the flush on his face.
Only after killing the guarding Wraith Demon did he discover something hidden behind it.
It was a small mountain of equipment, all in human sizes, with swords, spears, halberds, and various types of battle armor.
Chu Feng stepped forward to gently sift through them, and a series of panel prompts flashed before his eyes, making things clear to him.
These were all equipments looted from human martial artists, both Mortal Artifacts and True Artifacts.
In a fleeting moment, he saw many weapons and armors that captivated him.
Now, all of these were his spoils of war!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something beneath the Wraith Demon’s corpse.
It was sitting on something that was utterly out of place in this environment.
“What is this… what is this thing?”
