Blood rain poured down everywhere.
The nearly 4-meter Three-Eyed Giant stood rooted to the spot, his cold gaze sweeping over the black-clothed figure opposite him. With a burst of energy, the blood staining his body instantly evaporated.
"Bastard... no matter who you are, I want you dead!"
Sha Han watched as his three brothers died in an instant, his expression twisting instantly.
As his voice fell, the long whip in his hand suddenly stretched and expanded like a thick black python, coiling towards Lin Sheng.
However, before it could get close, the crimson large hand firmly grasped the long whip.
The next moment, Sha Han felt an indescribable Giant Strength coming from the long whip. He took a deep breath, instantly activated a secret technique, and the arm holding the long whip immediately swelled by several circles, growing thick black hair from it. He held the long whip with some difficulty.
But suddenly, an alarm blared in his heart, and a sense of danger came from the long whip.
Sha Han's expression changed, and he threw the long whip away without hesitation. At the same time, a stream of azure energy shot out from within the long whip, narrowly grazing past his ear and cutting off a few strands of messy hair.
Although he avoided this strike, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear. The power of that strike, capable of piercing his long whip, was absolutely not to be underestimated. If it had landed on him, he would have been severely injured even if he didn't die.
"Kid, are you from the Situ Family?"
Sha Han retreated dozens of meters, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the crimson giant in his sight and spoke in a deep voice.
Although the person in front of him carried a long sword on his back, with such vigorous vitality and powerful strength, especially this Physique, he couldn't possibly be from the Tianxiang Sword Sect.
As for the Yuanyang Beast Sect, known for taming Spirit Beasts, he had carefully sensed earlier and found no powerful Spirit Beasts nearby. The only possible explanation for the formidable combat power displayed by this young man in front of him was the Situ Family.
"You're not from South Qi, are you from the Tianluo Sect?"
At this moment, Lin Sheng looked at Sha Han, feeling equally puzzled. The aura of these four people, which he had sensed earlier, was quite different from others.
When he killed the three people just now, their methods were also quite peculiar.
Coupled with their attire, he was basically certain that these four were not from Northern Yan.
So, besides the Northern Yan Kingdom, the most likely possibility was that they were from South Qi, after all, South Qi was quite different from Northern Yan.
The Northern Yan Kingdom revered the Imperial Court, and the Imperial Court's power overwhelmed the land, suffocating all Sects and families. Even those ancient Sects and families with long inheritances either chose to seclude themselves in the mountains or carefully survive under the Imperial Court.
Even if numerous domestic forces united against it, it was merely a temporary measure, nothing more than making the official forces under the Imperial Court's jurisdiction have some reservations.
However, the situation in the Southern Qi Country was completely different. As the war between the two countries erupted, he had also read a lot of information about the Southern Qi Country when he was in Wanhua City.
He had also gained some understanding of this neighboring country.
The Southern Qi Country was divided into five regions.
Besides the Central Imperial Court and the Northern Wasteland, the other regions, Eastern Sea, Northern Land, and Western Frontier, were respectively occupied by five major forces.
The five major forces were extremely powerful, and combined, they were even slightly stronger than the Southern Qi Imperial Family.
The five major forces were like local emperors in their respective territories, resembling states within a state. Compared to Northern Yan, South Qi was more like an Alliance formed by numerous small and medium-sized countries.
Strictly speaking, the Southern Qi Country's territory was nearly half larger than Northern Yan's, and its national strength was also slightly greater. However, due to the dispersion of power, its wars with Northern Yan often fell into a disadvantage over the years.
The methods of the black-clothed person in front of him reminded him of the Tianluo Sect, one of the five major forces in the Southern Qi Country, which he had read about in books.
Hearing that Lin Sheng did not answer his question but instead directly exposed his identity, a fierce look appeared on Sha Han's face.
"Kid, since you've revealed my identity, then no matter if you're from the Situ Family or not, you... must die!"
"Do you think you can take me on just because you killed those three pieces of trash! Just wait, I'll twist your head off."
As his voice fell, sharp claws grew on Sha Han's palms. He tore open the clothes on his chest, revealing a blind bat on his sternum.
As two fingers were directly inserted into his chest, it was as if two crimson eyes were lit up for this blind bat.
In the blink of an eye, thick black hair began to appear on his body, and extremely hideous fleshy wings grew under his hands.
"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle..."
He continuously emitted hoarse groans from his mouth, and even more unexpectedly, wisps of black mist rose from the ground and the mountain wall, quickly entering his body.
To be precise, the source of the black mist was not the ground and the mountain wall, but the deceased Sha Wa, Sha Ha, and others.
As the black mist surged in, Sha Han's body became increasingly less human-like.
His ears lengthened, his eyes turned crimson, his skin became increasingly withered, and he truly became a monster resembling a humanoid bat.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Beast Transformation?"
The opponent's current state reminded him of the Beast Transformation that occurs when Bones Transformation Martial Artists are unable to suppress their own beast nature.
The result of Beast Transformation is turning into a half-human, half-beast monster, just like the person in front of him.
Although he had always heard of Beast Transformation, this was the first time he had seen such a thing with his own eyes.
At this moment, he could feel the opponent's aura rapidly growing.
His originally not-so-vigorous vitality had now become incredibly full, as if the one standing before him was not a person, but a true Spirit Beast, and not just an ordinary Elementary Level Spirit Beast. Its aura was much stronger than that of the Mystic Dark Yin Python he had destroyed in the secluded pool.
It had already crossed the threshold of an Elementary Level Spirit Beast.
Seeing the opponent's aura continuously strengthening, Lin Sheng's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Whoosh...
Azure energy burst forth from his palm, smashing towards the opponent's hideous head amidst dense air explosions.
Bang!
Amidst a muffled sound, Sha Han's body was sent flying backward. However, his fleshy wings quickly vibrated, and his figure stopped, slowly landing on the ground.
He released his fleshy wings, looked at the holes pierced by the sharp energy, and a mocking smile appeared on his ugly face.
"A very strong attack, but unfortunately, it's useless..."
As he spoke, the wounds on his fleshy wings began to heal rapidly. Soon, they were completely healed, leaving no trace of injury.
Although the opponent's sneak attack, destroying Sha Wa and the others, caught him off guard and prevented them from coordinating, absorbing the vitality of the three could also rapidly increase his strength.
This state couldn't be maintained for too long, but it allowed him to possess recovery and attack abilities almost comparable to high-level Spirit Beasts, greatly enhancing his strength.
Seeing the opponent silent at this moment, only looking at him with inexplicable eyes, Sha Han assumed the opponent was stunned. He sneered, and the next moment, his fleshy wings vibrated, leaving a series of afterimages as he shot towards the opponent.
The distance of over a dozen meters was covered in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the crimson figure seemed to have not reacted, still standing dumbfounded on the spot.
"Kid, die for me..."
Whoosh—
The withered hand claw, like a ghost's palm, directly pierced the opponent's abdomen.
Feeling the warm touch from his claws, Sha Han's face was filled with a brutal smile.
"Don't worry, I'll eat your organs clean..."
Bang!
However, before he could finish speaking, a crimson large hand rapidly approached in his line of sight. The large hand, like a demon palm covering the sky, sliced through the air and landed squarely on his head.
The bat-like head rotated around his neck, and his neck cracked open, squirting out streams of green blood with a foul odor.
"You... how can you still..."
This slap directly stunned Sha Han on the spot.
The intense pain in his neck almost drove him mad. If he didn't possess vitality comparable to a high-level Spirit Beast at this moment, he might have died on the spot from this blow.
He didn't understand why his Bone Strength, which had been completely unleashed within the opponent's body, hadn't worked. Even if his defense was strong, his internal organs were equally fragile, so how could he still move?
Although he didn't know the reason, he had realized something was wrong at this moment. He immediately wanted to withdraw his claws and retreat rapidly.
To his horror, he couldn't pull his claws out.
In Sha Han's horrified eyes, bone spurs surged out from the opponent's strong muscles, piercing his shriveled body.
"Is this what you rely on? After spending so much effort to transform into a beast, is this all you have?"
It was only then that he heard the opponent's low voice coming from beside his ear. At the same time, the crimson large hand had landed on his shoulder.
Rip...
Amidst the clear sound of tearing muscles, Sha Han was enveloped by intense pain.
His arm was actually directly torn off by the opponent, and even the fleshy wings below were torn away for the most part.
Ignoring the intense pain, Sha Han felt himself freed from restraint and immediately wanted to get away. However, before he could move, his neck was grabbed by the large hand and lifted up.
Then he saw a scene that chilled him to the bone. He saw the opponent pull out the claws from his chest and crush them.
And the large hole in his chest grew countless fleshy buds, recovering completely in the time it takes to breathe.
"You... monster... what exactly are you?!"
Sha Han's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him. He knew how strong his Bone Strength was; the opponent's internal organs should have been completely shattered by him. With such severe injuries, even he would need some time to recover.
He knew that to achieve this, he had risked complete Beast Transformation.
But the opponent had actually recovered completely just like that, and at a speed several times faster than his own.
"You like eating internal organs very much?"
Ignoring the opponent's horror, Lin Sheng spoke calmly.
"No... you can't kill me, the Tianluo Sect won't... won't let..."
Bang!
Amidst a crisp muffled sound, Sha Han's good head was directly smashed into his chest cavity.
"Then eat your fill..."
Lin Sheng threw him onto the ground. Even after suffering such severe injuries, the bloody Sha Han on the ground was still slowly twitching. It seemed he wanted to pull his head out of his chest and abdomen.
"Not dead yet?"
Lin Sheng was a little surprised. He raised his foot and stomped down hard.
Crack—
This time, Sha Han's entire body was crushed.
Foul-smelling green blood splattered onto the ground, and the surrounding vegetation withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Disgusting thing."
Lin Sheng frowned. With a thought, the surrounding ground cracked open, burying everything.
However, before it was completely submerged, he raised his hand and pulled out a white cloth-wrapped bundle from the ground.
He opened the white cloth, revealing a pure white elephant tusk.
At the same time, a series of messages appeared on his panel.
【Beast Name: Spirit Pivot Jade Soul Elephant (Demonic Beast)】
【Carved from pure white jade, its body is like starlight flowing. Its limbs are short and thick, and its Physique is small, yet it contains divine and mysterious power. This is a Spirit Pivot Elephant that has not yet fully matured, but it possesses powerful strength not inferior to that of an ordinary Demonic Beast.】
【Integration Requirement: Perception 12】
【Integration Effect: Strength Increase 10, Constitution 10, Perception 8, Spirit 4】
【Talent: Returning Ruins Assimilation】
"Spirit Pivot Jade Soul Elephant..."
After reading the introduction about the owner of the elephant tusk on the panel, Lin Sheng couldn't help but be surprised.
He knew that anything Wan Yanbei valued was definitely not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be a Demonic Beast material.
He wasn't very interested in this elephant tusk. What truly surprised him was the attributes of this Spirit Pivot Jade Soul Elephant.
It could directly add four points to the Spirit attribute.
Although the increase in other attributes was not particularly exaggerated, the increase in the Spirit attribute was extremely rare. Among the many exotic beasts he had integrated, only the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey had added one point.
And this Demonic Beast in front of him could add a full 4 points. This alone was worthy of its name as a Demonic Beast.
Moreover, according to the introduction, this Demonic Beast named Spirit Pivot Jade Soul Elephant seemed to have not yet fully matured. If it matured, its attributes would definitely increase further.
He played with the small, pure white elephant tusk, feeling his mind clear and his whole person feeling indescribably peaceful.
Clearly, this elephant tusk had a very good calming and focusing effect.
He searched again. Besides this Demonic Beast's tooth, there was nothing else noteworthy on the four people.
Having thought this, he didn't plan to linger any longer. With a tap of his toe, he had crossed several hundred meters and looked at the several Bright Moon Sect disciples lying on the ground, dressed in moon-white clothes.
At this time, Liu Yang and the others were tightly closing their eyes. Feeling the bloody smell filling her nostrils, her small face turned pale, and she clenched her hands, her body trembling slightly.
These people were more or less injured. With his perception, he naturally knew that some had already woken up, but he wasn't interested in these people. After a brief ponder, he ignored them and disappeared into the mountain forest.
It was only after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when the others who had fainted around them cried out and woke up, that Liu Yang dared to open her eyes.
She carefully scanned the surroundings, and only after confirming that the terrifying figure was gone did she relax in her heart.
Among these people, only she was not injured because she had planned to be favored that night, so she had seen some of what happened just now.
She saw the four evil people being killed by that crimson giant.
She originally thought it would soon be their turn, but unexpectedly, the other party did not attack them.
Now that she saw the other party leave, her heart was filled with joy at being alive. However, thinking of this encounter and her deceased martial uncles and others, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. She knew very well that escaping with her life this time was purely luck. Now, she should immediately return to the Sect.
She immediately yelled at the fellow disciples who had woken up around her.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me up."
