Chapter 119: Chapter 76: Ghost Ship Under the Moon! Sea Demon Monster!_3
“Demon Monster… Could it be a Demon Monster?”
The owner of the passenger ship, a burly man wearing a mask, exclaimed with a tingling scalp.
“Demon Monster? What Demon Monster?”
Most people were clueless.
“Demon Monster?”
As for Su Changkong, the words stirred something in his heart.
When he first arrived in this world, he occasionally heard members of Black Iron Manor talk about the outside world, claiming it was dangerous and rumored to be inhabited by Demon Monsters that relish eating human hearts and are difficult for humans to overcome!
Initially, Su Changkong treated these as mere ghost stories and rumors. However, they seemed not to be unfounded; Demon Monsters were not mythical creatures but were real in this world, albeit so rare, that most people would never encounter one in their lifetime.
“The more than ten martial artists’ corpses with strange deaths that I discovered when I first came to Ink Forest Prefecture City… Could they have been the work of a Demon Monster?”
At the same time, Su Changkong thought back to an incident from nearly half a year ago when he encountered more than ten corpses in the wilderness with their hearts gouged out and bodies gnawed upon. He had wondered then what kind of person was responsible.
Likewise, in the inn at Ink Forest Prefecture City, he had heard similar rumors, with the guests speculating that it might be the work of a Demon Monster, but he had his doubts. Yet, this bizarre and ferocious woman in white seemed to corroborate that possibility!
Su Changkong frowned and silently retreated several meters.
He had killed many people, but this was his first encounter with a being suspected of being a Demon Monster. He had no idea how strong it was or what methods it possessed. Therefore, it was best to be cautious. Better to let another die than risk his own life!
“Dem… Demon Monster? Are there really Demon Monsters?”
The rest of the people on the ship, whether the guards or guests who came to attend the Ghost Market, all drew their weapons, ready for battle. Their hearts pounded fiercely, most had heard the rumors about Demon Monsters but had always believed them to be just that, legends. Now, a creature most would never see in their lifetime appeared before them.
“Ga-woo!”
The woman in white had already killed two people, her face smeared with blood. Seemingly caught up in the thrill of the kill, she opened her mouth wide, revealing serrated, sharp teeth and emitting a piercing screech.
The screech was sharp and grating, assaulting the brain directly, making many feel as if their skulls were being hammered; even Su Changkong felt a sharp pain in his eardrums.
After a sharp screech, the woman in white lunged at several people. Her speed was incredibly fast, like a specter, with palms that could tear metal!
“Pupu pupu!”
Four or five men wearing masks had almost no chance to fight back and were slaughtered by her, flesh flying everywhere!
“Mon… Monster!”
Some on the ship were so petrified by the bloody and cruel scene that they collapsed and only wanted to escape, leaping directly from the ship into the sea.
The woman in white’s eyes twinkled eerily as her white clothes were stained with patches of red. Her gaze swept across and suddenly fixed on Su Changkong, who stood at the back of the crowd!
The woman in white sensed a vigorous Qi and Blood flowing within Su Changkong that was different from ordinary people. Compared to others around him, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
“Eat… eat you…”
The woman in white’s mouth gaped open, saliva flowing freely as if she had seen an unparalleled delicacy!
“You’ve set your sights on me?”
Su Changkong was also shocked, not having expected to be targeted while standing at the back of the crowd.
“Gawu!”
The woman in white let out a piercing scream and lunged frantically towards Su Changkong. The other martial artists along the way either dodged repeatedly or failed to dodge in time, getting hit so hard that they were sent flying with broken bones and ruptured tendons.
In just an instant, the woman in white was in front of Su Changkong, her pale right hand turned into a claw, trailing a series of afterimages as she reached for Su Changkong’s chest, intent on digging out his beating heart!
The woman in white could see the energy contained in the bright red blood pumping through Su Changkong’s heart, which might aid her metamorphosis!
“Puff!”
Her claw pierced through Su Changkong’s body; however, it was light and effortless, merely a residual image!
Using the highly skilled footwork of the Spinning Flying Crane from the Five Animal Frolics, Su Changkong spun and dodged the woman in white’s deadly pounce, reappearing behind her.
“Whether you’re human or ghost, die!”
Su Changkong’s eyes under the Ape mask flashed with a cold light. Initially, he did not act rashly as he was unaware of the depth of the woman in white’s strength. But now that she had taken the initiative to attack him, all Su Changkong could do was to exert himself and kill her!
Su Changkong clenched his right fist tightly, gathering his strength without any fancy moves. He delivered an extremely heavy punch toward the back of the woman in white!
“Bang!”
Amid the dull sound of impact, Su Changkong’s powerful punch struck the woman in white’s back. A massive force erupted, propelling her forward faster than she had come, crashing into and utterly shattering the cabin door, and sending her flying into the cabin.
“Did… did I hurt her?”
“There’s a master on board!”
The others were both shocked and overjoyed at what they saw. They were shocked at how swiftly Su Changkong had moved; his actions were so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, dodging the woman in white’s lunge while simultaneously landing a heavy punch on her back.
Of course, they were thrilled that there was such a master on board, someone who might be able to deal with the woman in white, suspected to be a demon monster.
“Isn’t she injured?”
Su Changkong was somewhat surprised.
Now in the Qi-Blood Realm, Su Changkong’s physical body was more than twice as strong as it had been upon reaching Body Refinement Great Achievement. His punch could easily shatter a giant stone with a diameter of one or two meters. Yet the woman in white had taken a solid hit and not even her bones were broken; it hardly seemed like she had a body of flesh and blood!
“Hiss!”
Indeed, from within the collapsed doorway of the cabin, the woman in white’s hissing sound emerged. She seemed to have been enraged, her veins writhing under her skin, bulging her muscles as if they were black eels. Her mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs looked fierce like an evil spirit’s, and a fierce, vicious aura rushed towards them, chilling to the bone.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Su Changkong heard a sound like drumbeats in his ears. It was the sound of the woman in white’s heart beating.. The heart of an ordinary person pumping so violently would likely shatter, but as her heart throbbed like a drum, it caused her blood to rush through her body at high speed, turning her pale skin a dark red!
