Chapter 337: Chapter 137: Blade Gang Shatters Blade Gang! Monster Warrior!_3
A towering figure charged out like a mammoth, launching a direct attack on the Demon Shadow from an oblique angle. His enormous fist was condensed with astonishing Divine Power and had clearly been ready for some time, as it brutally hammered toward the Demon Shadow who was battling with Su Changkong!
“Bang!”
Although the Demon Shadow immediately swung his blade to chop at the towering figure, the long-prepared punch struck the Demon Shadow’s chest first.
“Boom!”
The force of the punch was terrifyingly strong, resembling a savage elephant shaking a mountain, causing the ground to tremble thunderously. The Demon Shadow’s body, like rubber flattened by a rolling wheel, twisted violently and was blasted backward, tearing apart into pieces.
“Thump thump thump!”
The fragments of the body, carrying immense force, smashed the surrounding trees, toppling and splintering them with a terrifying momentum!
Fierce and domineering!
“Commander Hong?”
Seeing this person who suddenly rushed out and sent the Demon Shadow flying into pieces, Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised. The newcomer was none other than Hong Zhenxiang!
Hong Zhenxiang seemed to have dealt with the Sect Leader Ding Qiu of the Black Lotus Sect. When Su Changkong went after Xiao Bili, Hong Zhenxiang, concerned about the specific situation, had followed suit and saw Su Changkong and the Demon Shadow in a fierce fight. Without much hesitation, he made his move to try and annihilate the Demon Shadow!
“A demon monster, huh?”
Hong Zhenxiang’s gaze revealed a hint of solemnity, but more so excitement.
Amidst the wreckage of trees in the distance, the Demon Shadow that Hong Zhenxiang had smashed to pieces with a punch, writhed and quickly reassembled itself, transforming back into a black human shadow. The surface of its body swirled with black currents, boiling with withering, decaying power, causing the surrounding grass and trees to wither rapidly.
“Kill you… I must… eat you… metamorphosis…”
The Demon Shadow fixed its gaze on Hong Zhenxiang, its eyes twinkling with scarlet light in the darkness, filled with ferocity and greed.
In the Demon Shadow’s perception, the Qi and Blood of the human before it was incredibly potent, and its heartbeat strong. It was a rarity in its life, and if it could consume him alive, perhaps it could undergo another metamorphosis!
“You can mimic others’ Martial Arts? Then come on! Let’s see your limit!”
Hong Zhenxiang was brimming with a fighting spirit, his Qi and Blood within him hot but not showing, ready to burst out at any moment, shaking heaven and earth!
“Woo woo woo!”
But just as the two were about to settle their score and witness life or death, a melodious flute sound came from the distance.
The flute sound was crisp and pleasant, as if it were right by one’s ear, yet seeming to come from beyond the heavens.
Despite the flute’s clear and pleasing sound, Su Changkong felt an upsetting surge in his Qi and Blood, and his heartbeat became rapid! Extremely uncomfortable!
“A master!”
Even Hong Zhenxiang’s eyes conveyed a trace of solemnity. The sound of the flute was transmitted from several miles away, and although the volume of the flute was not loud, the person was able to convey it clearly over such a distance with their inner strength, indicating inscrutable depth in their Martial Arts—a master among masters!
Upon hearing the flute sound, the boiling demonic power on the Demon Shadow began to settle, and the scarlet in its eyes gradually faded away. Then, without turning its head, its body seemed to merge into the darkness, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
“Let him go,”
Hong Zhenxiang said in a deep voice, with no intention of pursuing.
“Hmm…”
Su Changkong nodded slightly, his expression grave.
The demon shadow just now was one thing, its methods insidious—most likely a demon monster. The person far away who had called the demon shadow away with his flute, was probably also an unfathomably powerful fighter! With him mingling with the demon monster, who could he be?
Since the other party had shown no intention of fighting to the death, and Hong Zhenxiang was also wary of the stranger’s origins and strength, he did not rashly follow. Should anything go awry, it probably would be very dangerous!
“Back already?” Five or six li away, a youth in red put down the flute from his lips, a light smile on his face.
The red-clothed youth’s features were so beautifully exotic that, combined with the red garments and smooth, flowing long hair, made it somewhat difficult to discern his gender.
“Hmm…”
Shrouded in a layer of darkness, the demon shadow, Mo Ying, appeared before the youth in red and nodded slightly.
“How do you feel?”
The red-clothed youth asked.
Mo Ying pondered briefly: “That silver-armored man… very strong… but I could kill him. The other one… that robust man, is terrifying… even with all my might, I might not have a fifty percent chance of victory.”
Mo Ying was confident. Su Changkong was very strong but relying on his own ability to mimic the opponent’s moves, and as an immortal body, if the fight dragged on, surely it would be Su Changkong who would falter and fall first.
As for Hong Zhenxiang, he posed a significant threat to Mo Ying, and that punch was extremely domineering. If it came to a desperate fight, Mo Ying felt victory was not guaranteed.
The red-clothed youth spoke with a gentle smile, “That person should be Hong Zhenxiang of Dafeng State City, the top expert there. You are slightly outmatched by him for now, but he’s the only one who poses any threat to you.”
“You have yet to perfectly integrate the Crystal Core in your heart! Once fully integrated, the sect can instruct you in the ‘Intention Demon Form Skill’ best suited for you. At that time, your strength will surge by multiple folds, and this Hong Zhenxiang will be no more than food for you! You will undergo a metamorphosis, becoming the most perfect being! Reigning above both martial artists and demon monsters!”
The red-clothed youth said with a light smile.
“Hmm!” Mo Ying, clearly excited and eager, greatly looked forward to becoming even stronger and more perfect!
By then, he would be able to devour the undoubtedly delicious Hong Zhenxiang!
“Let’s go, that Xiao Bili wanted to join us but ended up dying in the hands of a mere insect—obviously he wasn’t worthy!”
The man in red spoke and departed with Mo Ying, their appearance in this place entirely due to Xiao Bili.
Xiao Bili had made the decision to apply to join them, and the two were here to test him, to see if he was qualified. Unfortunately, Xiao Bili died! It was only then that Mo Ying stepped in to confront Su Changkong!
“That Hong Zhenxiang, though, is a promising seedling. If he were willing to join us, his prospects would likely be formidable. His strength could soar to new heights in a short time. But given his character, he’s probably not inclined to do so…”
The man in red murmured, their shadows growing fainter and fainter in the distance.
In their conversation, Hong Zhenxiang was regarded as nothing more than prey, a whetstone.
And Su Changkong? No one paid much attention to creatures weaker than themselves. With their potential, they were far beyond what ordinary martial artists could hope to compare with. Those weaker than them could never surpass them, their growth not on the same level!
In their eyes, Su Changkong was just an insignificant ant, no different from the deceased Xiao Bili!
