Master Abyan was a shadow demon. This was definitely a fact that could shock numerous people and make their minds blank. It was out of people's imagination; however, it was reasonable. Because in the history of humans, those shadow demons in the look of humans had brought great, terrifying disasters to the entire human race. When shadow demons appeared as human elites and became presidents, leaders and big figures who held great powers in human countries, such a demon standing on the peak of human power with the intention to destroy humans and put humans under the rule of demons forever could cause far more harm to humans than a demon corps.
In addition to being able to change their appearance at will, Shadelings had another terrifying ability, which was to plunder and fuse with other people's genes. They were terrifying Gene Plunderers.
Shadow demons were synonymous with deceit, conspiracy, terror and disasters.
It turned out that the terrifying demon was always on Zhang Tie's side and in Blackhot City. Additionally, it was an influential figure in Blackhot City.
Master Abyan, who had already revealed his identity as a demon, walked towards Zhang Tie step by step. Zhang Tie didn't know why such a demon appeared in Blackhot City as a pharmacist; however, Zhang Tie knew it. Now that he had revealed his true form in front of him, the demon standing in front of him would definitely not let him live. Perhaps, if he fell into the hands of the shadow demon, he would die. Perhaps, it would be an extravagant hope for Zhang Tie to die easily.
When they met on a narrow road, if Zhang Tie could not defeat Abyan, he would die.
"Go to hell..." Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes. Without any fear, he rushed towards Abyan once again. Zhang Tie punched towards Abyan's chest as fast as a lightning bolt. This movement contained all of Zhang Tie's essence and qi. Spirit was the most powerful strike that Zhang Tie could launch.
Abyan, who had transformed into a demon, just stood there quietly, allowing Zhang Tie's fists to strike his body. When Zhang Tie's fists hit Abyan's chest which was covered with scales, Zhang Tie became thrilled inside. Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie's terrifying fists had poured onto all parts of Abyan's body — — head like dense raindrops. Abyan's neck, chest, lower abdomen — — almost 100 strikes.
Abyan was still as steady as Mount Tai.
How could this be? Zhang Tie became stunned. Each time his strike fell onto Abyan's body, Zhang Tie would feel that his strike would be blocked by some invisible force the moment it touched Abyan's body. There seemed to be an invisible armor on Abyan's body, which could block all of Zhang Tie's strikes...
At the same time, Abyan's tail swept towards Zhang Tie's chest like a leg, sending him flying like a rubber ball. After being whipped over 30 m away, he hit the wall behind him and fell down together with some broken stones.
Zhang Tie spurted out a mouthful of blood as his bones all over were almost broken. Additionally, his brain was buzzing. Zhang Tie felt dizzy. If not having eaten a lot of iron-body fruits, Zhang Tie knew that he must have lost his ability to move completely. Two ribs seemed to have been broken while his sternum cracked. Panting, Zhang Tie struggled and slowly picked himself up from the ground.
"Ant-like human, I have to admit that among all the people that I've seen, you're the most powerful one at your age. Among all the LV 8 fighters, you're also the most powerful one that I've seen. Your strength has even surpassed that of most of the LV 11 battle masters. You really surprise me. However, levels are levels because some boundaries and chasms could not be crossed. For instance, no matter how big a mouse is, it could never be heavier than a newborn elephant. For a LV 14 battle-demon who has formed his protective battle qi, a LV 8 fighter's strike is useless even though you've formed your iron-blood battle Qi and your strength is far greater than your level! However, your body surprises me more and more! " Abyan revealed a smile on his grim and terrifying face which was covered with scales. Closely after that, he walked towards Zhang Tie step by step.
LV 14? Battle demon? Protective battle qi? When these words occurred to Zhang Tie's mind, he felt cold inside. The gap of 6 levels was too great for Zhang Tie. He couldn't overcome it at all.
Zhang Tie tried to contact with Castle of Black Iron and found that his spiritual energy was very unstable at this moment. That guy's terrifying sound wave directly penetrated through his brain and twisted his spiritual energy into a mess. Additionally, he suffered a great shock and impact all over his body. Of course, his spiritual energy could not exist independently of his physical condition. Therefore, at this moment, his spiritual energy was completely like a wild horse that had escaped from the pen in his brain. He could not gather his spiritual energy to make it obedient for the time being.
'Do I regret avenging this guy? ' Zhang Tie asked himself. However, even at this moment, he still didn't feel regretful at all. Something had to be done. He just didn't understand why a LV 14 battle demon would hide its battle strength and live in Blackhot City.
"I know what you're thinking about. As for us shadow demons, what really enables us to exert our greatest ability is not our battle strength, but our ability to integrate into human society. Demons don't lack battle demon level powerhouses. In the eyes of many powerful humans, especially knight-level human powerhouses, a LV 14 battle demon is nothing different than a LV 8 fighter. Therefore, I hide in Blackhot City so as to gain greater rights and influence as a pharmacist. I want to exert a greater effect than a LV 14 battle demon! "
Before Zhang Tie expressed his doubt, Abyan had already known what he was thinking about, "If you've known this, you can just die obediently. Don't struggle in vain, because it will make the process more tortuous and painful. I can feel your surging vitality. If I could devour you, I might be able to complete the evolution of the second form in one go. I've been looking forward to meeting someone like you for a long time, and I've finally met one. At my level, if I want to meet someone who is suitable to devour and can give me a large amount of life force after devouring, then I'll have to find someone who is suitable to devour. It's already very difficult. For ordinary people, the life force I have to pay to devour and fuse with them is only equal to the life force I just obtained from them. Those people have no value at all. "
Zhang Tie felt that he was like a tasty snack in Abyan's eyes. It was a rare tonic.
"Peh..." Zhang Tie spat out a mouth of bloody saliva as he revealed an unruly smile, "If you want to devour me, you'd better go eat sh * t!"
After saying this, Zhang Tie rushed forward once again. This time, Zhang Tie would not make this b * stard happy even at the cost of his life.
Zhang Tie took out the dagger that was hidden on his body and exerted all his strength at this moment. Zhang Tie exerted all his strength and threw the dagger out like throwing a javelin. The dagger broke the sound barrier in a split second and reached the utmost speed that Zhang Tie could throw.
The dagger stopped near Abyan's left eye. Closely after that, a loud sonic boom reverberated in the air.
Abyan's invisible protective battle qi seemed to fluctuate for a second. Closely after that, it recovered its tranquility. The dagger dropped in front of Abyan's eyes. Closely after that, Abyan caught it and threw it back. With another sonic boom, the dagger penetrated through Zhang Tie's left scapula, causing blood to spurt out of Zhang Tie's body. At the same time, Zhang Tie slid backward and nailed onto the stonewall behind him. Zhang Tie uttered a muffled harrumph as half of his body was dyed red with blood. He looked pretty miserable; however, his battle intent was still burning in his eyes as he gazed at Abyan who was walking towards him.
The sharp difference of 6 levels had already surpassed Zhang Tie's maximal ability. It was a bottomless chasm and an endless natural moat.
"I've told you, if the sharp difference between levels could be compensated by brute force, it would be meaningless to cultivate!" Abyan said as he slowly walked to the front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie stretched out his right hand. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the dagger from his left shoulder and stabbed towards Abyan.
In such a state, Abyan just stretched out his weird claw and slightly twisted Zhang Tie's right hand, causing a cracking sound as all the bones of Zhang Tie's right hand were shattered at once.
Zhang Tie then kicked towards Abyan's lower abdomen like a huge axe. At the same time, Abyan stretched out his tail and wound Zhang Tie's feet like a snake. With a cracking sound, Zhang Tie's feet were broken.
Spitting out blood, Zhang Tie knelt down by one knee and supported his broken knee against the ground in order to stabilize his body. Abyan stretched out one hand and pinched Zhang Tie's neck. Closely after that, he raised Zhang Tie's body in front of his eyes and looked into Zhang Tie's eyes.
"Very few people are as tenacious and have great potential as you. As long as you promise to pledge allegiance to demons and become my descendant, I will spare a chance for you. You could have endless power and numerous women. You could enjoy everything in the world..." Abyan stared at Zhang Tie with his swarthy eyes as he said in an icy tone.
"F * ck... you!" Zhang Tie ferociously headbutted onto Abyan's face. Although Abyan was safe and sound, blood flowed off Zhang Tie's head. Raising his head, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and headbutted once again, causing blood to spurt out of Zhang Tie's skull. The third time, Zhang Tie's skull was broken while his forehead had been deformed. However, Abyan's protective battle qi was still as firm as steel.
Blood had blurred Zhang Tie's eyes, turning the world in Zhang Tie's eyes scarlet.
"If so, go die..." Finding that Zhang Tie still didn't compromise at this moment, Abyan raised his tail like a scorpion's tail at once. The tip of the tail instantly coiled around Zhang Tie's back like a sharp needle. It was inserted into Zhang Tie's spine from his neck at once.
Zhang Tie's body started to quiver uncontrollably. When the tail penetrated into his spine, Zhang Tie felt that his qi, blood and energy started to be drawn away by the tail.
"What an abundant source of life force. Your life source is at least 20 times that of human fighters on the same level as you. This is the best gift from the Demon God! " Abyan became thrilled as he revealed a smile on his grim face. At the same time, he stretched out his long tongue and started to lick the blood flowing off Zhang Tie's head. It was like tasting the most delicious food.
Abyan's body started to radiate red light with a dense bloody smell as it gradually covered Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie felt that his life was fading away rapidly. This process was completely opposite to that when he took the seven-strength fruit. Being drawn away by the tail, Zhang Tie felt that his strength of qi, strength of blood, strength of bone, strength of marrow, strength of channel, strength of vein and strength of god were constantly being drawn away. They were all integrated into Abyan's body.
The life source mentioned by demons referred to the seven energies in a human's body.
The red light over Abyan's body started to become more and more brilliant while the bloody smell covering Zhang Tie and himself became more and more intense. Gradually, a bull-horn-shaped object in the middle of Abyan's forehead started to bulge. At the same time, a layer of periosteum appeared on Abyan's back like the wings of a bat.
Abyan was so excited that it quivered all over. Raising its head, it uttered a terrifying roar.
Zhang Tie didn't know what was happening to Abyan's body. It seemed to be an evolution of shadow demon. However, Abyan knew that his life was fading away rapidly. He was going to die soon. If not those seven-strength fruits, he might have already died.
Out of his instinct to struggle, Zhang Tie moved his left hand and touched the double-carp sword at his waist. At the same time, a sword shot out of Zhang Tie's waist and circled around Abyan's neck...
"Hoho, I've not imagined that you have such a trump card. It's really out of my imagination. However, it's useless. These common weapons could never break my protective battle qi..." The sharp, thin blade of the golden carp sword circled around Abyan's neck. Abyan only shook his head, causing the golden carp sword to break off from Zhang Tie's hand and fall onto the ground. Abyan watched Zhang Tie with a playful and enjoyable look. No matter how Zhang Tie struggled, Abyan kept scratching Zhang Tie's body with his left hand in vain, "Struggle, humble human. Be afraid, weak human. With the taste of fear, your blood will taste sweeter!"
...
'Am I going to die this time? ' Zhang Tie's consciousness gradually became blurred...
After a while, Zhang Tie's mind quivered as he woke up. It was the last lucidity of his life. When he woke up, he found that only 10% of his life energy had been absorbed by Abyan. Additionally, Abyan's qi became more terrifying. The surrounding bloody light was like a dense bloody cocoon which was going to wrap him up. As a result, Zhang Tie became very weak.
However, due to the excessive extraction of spiritual energy, Zhang Tie found that the remaining spiritual energy in his mind sea had already stabilized although it was still flowing away.
The horn on Abyan's forehead was growing larger. Watching that horn, Zhang Tie didn't know why he would do that. Instinctively, he summoned that horn-shaped object that he picked up from the mud in the river when he attended the survival training in Wild Wolf Valley. Holding it in hand, he injected all of his iron-blood battle Qi into that sharp object and stabbed it towards Abyan's heart...
After injecting his iron-blood battle Qi into that sharp object, it emitted a kind of "???" "Gravestone?" "Li Bo Lun Yong Liao Ke Zhang?" "Na Bottle?" "Advise Bo Lun Yong Yi Bei Jiao?" "Bo Lun Ya?" "Advise Bo Lun Ya?"
Abyan quivered all over as he watched the thing that suddenly appeared in Zhang Tie's hand and pierced into his chest with an unimaginable look. Abyan felt being locked at once as his face was full of extreme fear...
Zhang Tie also started to quiver. When he stabbed that sharp horn-shaped object into Abyan's chest, he felt his palm was hot while a surging energy was transferred to his body through that horn-shaped object. Zhang Tie felt that he and Abyan were locked together tightly. Neither of them could move at all.
At this moment, Abyan was devouring Zhang Tie while the horn-shaped object that Zhang Tie stabbed into Abyan's chest was devouring Abyan more crazily. A human, a demon and a strange horn-shaped object formed a mysterious cycle of devouring each other.
Abyan wanted to open his mouth; however, he could not utter any words. Neither could Zhang Tie. He only felt that his body was becoming hotter and hotter while the qi and blood energy and the red light around him were becoming more and more dense...
Before completely losing his consciousness, Zhang Tie locked onto that arched door in his mind sea with his greatest perseverance — — go back!
...
The news that Abyan was assassinated caused the castle where he stayed to almost become an empty city in three days. After such a major event, all the commoners in the castle escaped away in a split second out of fear of being involved. Before they escaped away, as there was no master in the castle, all the valuable items in the castle had been moved away.
The entire Blackhot City was in a mess...
Seven days later, a figure flew over from the sky like a burning cloud and stood in the sky above the castle.
Watching the castle under his foot, Zhao Yuan uttered a long roar as he punched downwards. With a sound boom, Blackhot City experienced an earthquake. The entire castle of Master Abyan disappeared, leaving a 100-m deep huge pit on the ground, from which the underground water started to pour in.
After a few days, a high-level investigation team led by a big figure and a knight-level powerhouse from the capital of Norman Empire arrived at Blackhot City. When the members of the investigation team stood on the lakeside which was said to be a castle one month ago, they all became silent.
...
After over one month, over 30 countries and regions across Blackson Humans Corridor suffered a terrifying demon disaster. Being controlled by puppet worms, the undead army spread across the land like locusts...
The 3rd holy war broke out!
