Chapter 74 – Formless

Da da da-

Gunshots were continuously fired .

It was chaotic .

A squad was holding machine guns and fired at several demonic beasts . Suddenly, the windows on both side side of the car crashed . A mantis-like demonic beast appeared .

Its sharp leg flashed like a knife, instantly killing the squad . The heavy machine guns were also cut into pieces .

In another place .

The muzzle of a tank roared, exploding a powerful demonic beast in front of it . At the next moment, a large lizard spitted flames . The flame burnt the entire tank .

The high temperature made the steel on the tank turned red . The big lizard continued spitting fire before it finally left .

Although the tank’s shape was still relatively intact, it’s clear that the person operating the tank was dead .

Such scene happened all over the battlefield .

Tang Yu penetrated the long sword into a demonic beast . His sword was covered in blood . His wrist slightly pushed deeper, the sword trembled as blood spattered .

In a blink of an eye, blood disappeared from the blade .

This should be a legendary sword . Killing demonic beast without spilling blood .

But something felt amiss .

There was a loud noise coming from the front line .

Was there another demonic beast?

Tang Yu raised the sword, his gaze fixed on the street in front of him . He was ready to slay another demonic beast .

But then, what’s coming towards him wasn’t demonic beast, but more than a dozen hunters running awkwardly .

Among them, Tang Yu saw a familiar face . That’s Captain Zhou!

So they were destined to meet again .

Zhou Jianhong shouted, “Run! There was an invincible monster behind us!”

Invincible?

Tang Yu was puzzled .

Zhou Jianhong was not weak . He even felt there were some stronger ones among those escaping hunters . All of them wasn’t embarrassed to escape . Was that mean the demonic beast that were chasing them was extremely powerful?

But if it’s really powerful, those people wouldn’t have the chance to escape .

Not long after, the chasing demonic beast appeared in his sight .

It was a grayish-black translucent…unknown object?

Tang Yu had never seen such a weird looking demonic beast . It was formless, walking lightly…or was it floating?

Most of these beasts’ strength was only double or triple awakening beast . They’re not particularly strong .

Shortly after these demonic beasts appeared, several other groups of these grayish-black wraiths also appeared from the other side of the street .

Zhou’s Jianhong’s expression changed .

“Shoot! Why are they coming from there?”

“It’s over . ”

“Hurry, run to that direction! We still can survive!”

The wraiths appeared near Tang Yu’s team direction . Soon they floated towards him .

Tang Yu raised his sword, ready to slay it .

Zhou Jianhong was anxious, “Little brother, run! We can’t kill these demonic beast!”

A man with crooked nose next to him smirked, “Not on your own . ”

A wraith floated towards him .

Tang Yu swing his sword, slicing the wraith into two pieces .

Nothing happened…

Tang Yu quickly concentrated, there was only a faint ripple on the wraith’s body in front of him .

Like a long sword penetrated lake water, it only caused the water rippled .

It couldn’t cause damage to the water .

This was a formless demonic beast!

Tang Yu’s attack failed, but the ghost didn’t stop . Its entire torso elongated, the formless body took shape of a hand .

The hand smashed Tang Yu .

The attack was sudden, it was difficult to evade it .

Zhou Jianhong shouted, “Look out!”

The hunter shook his head and sighed, “He’s doomed . This wraith’s attack patterns are weird . He couldn’t evade such a close ranged attack . ” The man with crooked nose looked away, “If it was an ordinary double or triple demonic beast, we would easily defeated it . But unfortunately, this kind of demonic beast is formless . Even magical weapons are useless against them . ”

What he held in his hand was a weapon once envied by every hunters . The Demon Slayer Sword . However, Chen Sheng was still helpless when dealing with these relatively weak but formless beast .

Sharp weapons were useless and so were firearms . They could only escape in embarrassment .

On the other side, Tang Yu wasn’t being careless . After seeing a group of relatively strong hunters fled in shame, he knew this kind of demonic beast weren’t just powerful from its raw strength alone .

He twisted his body to avoid the wraith’s attack .

He stepped back, held the sword with both of his hand and held his breath .

Suddenly, the long sword glowed .

Heavy cut!

Spirit power circulated in his body, condensed on his arm and enveloped the long sword .

Boom!

The blow was violent .

The wraith was blown up and fell to the ground . Debris flew in the air .

The hunters were surprised, especially Chen Sheng who was the most powerful among them .

He originally thought Tang Yu and his team were not strong . He didn’t expect such a powerful blast from Tang Yu .

“That power would certainly killed an ordinary triple awakening demonic beast . But I’m afraid…” He would be sad if a strong hunter like Tang Yu perished here, “We better run away before the wraiths regained its power back . Otherwise, we’ll die here . ”

Tang Yu sighed .

He looked at the fading ghost .

Heavy cut was effective . Condensing a blow from the spirit power in his body, it successfully damaged the ghost .

However, as a formless being, the wraith was still immune to most of the heavy cut’s damage . Tang Yu estimated he still needed to use the skill twice or three times more to completely kill the wraith .

It was just his speculation . He wasn’t sure that would be effective .

Tang Yu stepped back .

Other hunters thought Tang Yu finally retreated after realized the wraith was invincible . They would never judge him for retreating . In fact, they had tried attacking the wraiths and failed .

“Elaine, it’s your turn now . ” Tang Yu said .

Zhou Jianhong and the other hunters were shocked again .

It’d be best if they escaped together . If they chose to confront the wraiths, they’d be dead if they’re not being careful .

Chen Sheng snorted again, “She can’t do it alone . ”

They no longer cared, they were ready to escape again .

Among the three, the girl in black robe stepped forward .

Elaine grasped the staff in her hand . Immediately, one after another condensed ice spikes emerges .

With her strength growth, the number of ice spikes condensed at a time increased . The energy also increased .

The ice spikes flung .

Each one aimed at a wraith .

The hunters were stunned to know the girl was a hunter with elemental ability .

“Maybe we still had hope!” Someone exclaimed in joy .

“No, fire elemental might be able to finish these wraiths . But ice spike’s damage is physical, so it’s useless . ” Chen Sheng was pessimistic .

The ice spikes penetrated the wraiths and rippled .

The spectating hunters were disappointed .

With a bang, the ice spikes burst .

A bright blue light bloomed in their field of vision .
