Chapter 225: Is This a Monster?

However, the opponent's figure sprang up rapidly, turning in mid-air to dissipate the force of Chen Yu's punch, then used his four limbs to gain leverage on the ground, leaping up and disappearing without a trace.

Chen Yu became vigilant; what kind of monster was this guy, exactly?

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind rose behind him. Chen Yu shifted his body to the side, and with a "shhh" sound, the table behind him was split in two by a sharp weapon. Immediately after, the figure from before flashed forward again, the two blades in his hands stabbing rapidly toward Chen Yu's body.

With two "shhh" sounds, two holes appeared in Chen Yu's clothes. This guy leaped up again and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Chen Yu sneered. This guy's movements were quite fast, but he had no intention of wasting time with him anymore. Moreover, there was a faint trace of dark aura on this kid; it seemed he wasn't a simple thing. He flipped his right hand, and three Talisman Papers appeared in his palm.

Whoosh... The darkness surged toward him again, and at the same time, two sharp blades attacked him.

Chen Yu retreated a step without panic. The two blades in the opponent's hands missed. Chen Yu struck out with a palm-blade, causing the blades in the opponent's hands to fall to the ground. At the same time, three Talismans floated in mid-air, and three balls of fire suddenly lit up.

The large repair workshop suddenly brightened. The three balls of fire were Three Yang True Fires, and the light they emitted was the same as the sun. Under the light of these three Talismans, any darkness had nowhere to hide.

The true face of that figure was also exposed before Chen Yu's eyes.

He was not tall, his frame was thin, he wore highly elastic fiber clothing, and his complexion was deathly pale.

Only under the illumination of the three Three Yang True Fires, wisps of blue smoke rose from his face and the skin exposed to the air.

A sharp, shrill hiss came from his mouth as he kept dodging toward the dark corners. However, Chen Yu guided with his right hand, and these three Talisman fires followed his figure, drifting in mid-air; wherever he hid, the Talisman fires followed.

He curled into a ball, shivering, with nowhere to hide under the radiance of the Three Yang True Fires.

"What is your name?" Chen Yu asked. This guy was a mixed-race individual and should have half Huaxia blood.

"If you have the ability, just kill me. Why ask so much?" His tone was stiff, likely because he had lived abroad since he was young.

"Kill you? That's too simple. If I put you under the moon or the sun, you would soon rot and melt all over, eventually turning into a pile of white bones." Chen Yu sneered and said, "A poor wretch who can only live in the darkness."

"What did you say?" The man's voice was hoarse. He stared fixedly at Chen Yu. Chen Yu's words had pierced the most painful part of his heart, so he was extremely angry.

"Heh, killing you is as easy as turning over one's hand, but don't you want your illness to be cured so you can walk openly under the sunlight?" Chen Yu smiled.

"You can cure it?" The man suddenly raised his head; he did not believe what Chen Yu said.

"Your condition is likely because you were injured by a Dark Creature when you were young. Although you managed to save your life, the blood of the Dark Creature fused into your body, which is why you have become like this." Chen Yu said indifferently, "I can actually cure it, and it is very simple."

"You can really cure it? Really?" The man became excited. He stared fixedly at Chen Yu: "I beg you, help me."

"Helping you will consume a large portion of your remaining lifespan. You won't live for more than half a year." Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "Can you accept that?"

The man fell into Silence. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I have always been controlled by others, becoming a tool for others to kill, and I have never lived under the sunlight."

"If you can let me bask in the sun, walk in the daytime like a normal person, and have contact with people, even if it's only for one day, it's enough."

"Alright, but you have to do one thing for me." Chen Yu smiled: "What is your name?"

"I can, as long as you can cure me." The man said: "My name is 'An'. This is the name given to me by the priest who saved me. The reason for this name is that I can only live in the darkness."

"Take me to find Du Feng and kill him; it's that simple. After you kill him, I will cure you. You will have half a year of freedom, but during this period, you cannot harm anyone else." Chen Yu said.

"Do you think I really want to kill?" An smiled, his pale expression somewhat desolate: "I was injured by a Dark Creature and luckily saved my life, but because of that, I gained some special abilities."

"Those people took a fancy to my special abilities, so they trained me as a killer. I don't want to kill, really."

"Alright then, get up." Chen Yu said indifferently: "I need you to take me to find Du Feng now."

"Only kill him?" An stood up, and Chen Yu pointed his right hand, causing the three Fire Talismans in mid-air to extinguish.

"If possible, I would of course hope you could take care of all my enemies, but since you don't want to kill, I won't force you." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"That's no problem. I can still manage to kill one Du Feng." An nodded.

"Also, who is your boss? I don't think that with Du Feng's ability, it's possible for him to hire too many experts to assist him." Chen Yu looked at An and said.

"My boss is Du Feng." An shook his head and said: "Or rather, my employer only lets me take orders from Du Feng; I know nothing else."

"It seems there is still a very unusual force behind Du Feng." Chen Yu sneered and said: "Since that's the case, then there is no need for me to be polite with Du Feng."

"Boss, I've discovered Du Feng's tracks." Shanying's call came through.

"I'll go meet him." Chen Yu said.

"Alright, Datian and the others and I will go first to clear the obstacles for you. He has a team of elite mercenaries protecting him." Shanying said.

"That's fine, you guys be careful." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Don't worry, Boss. Although these people are quite strong, they are really far inferior to the ones we encountered abroad." Shanying grinned and said.

In the suburbs, deep in the mountains, there was a private manor.

The location of this manor was very secluded; there wasn't even a village in the surrounding area. No one knew that there was such a luxurious manor in this place.

Moreover, this place was surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one narrow path could barely lead up to it. The mountain terrain here was steep and unique, easy to defend and hard to attack.

This place was a shelter Du Feng had built for himself. The residence in the very center was cast from concrete and steel bars, making it very sturdy.

This guy was a desperado himself. In the early years when supervision was lax, this guy dared to do anything.

Smuggling arms, drug trafficking, and fighting with overseas forces for territory, so he felt he must have a safe residence.
