"Hiss …"
A blurry silhouette suddenly appeared beside Fang Tan. It hissed like a snake.
Before it even got close, Fang Tan and Zhu Hongsheng felt a chill run down their spines. Goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
Waves of dense Demonic Qi spread along the ground, completely enveloping a small area in the surroundings.
Strangely, the demonic aura shrank tightly within this area but did not leak out at all.
"This … This is …!?" Fang Tan felt his teeth chattering. He could not think of a second possibility for such a strong demonic aura other than a Great Fiendish Demon.
Demonic aura was a very special kind of mist. It resembled mist but was not mist at the same time. To humans, demonic aura was more like a special mist that was a mixture of a demon's scent and energy waves.
This aura was grayish-white in color and resembled mist, but one could smell a subtle scent. It was a natural scent produced by a demon's own species. Some of them were corrosive and dangerous, and were often mistaken as miasma.
At that moment, Fang Tan and Zhu Hongsheng smelled a fishy stench. It was the distinct stench of a snake.
"Let's go!" Fang Tan grabbed Zhan Hongsheng and dashed in another direction.
But all of a sudden, a rhythm that was like a heartbeat suddenly spread out.
"Thump."
Fang Tan's face paled and he nearly collapsed to the ground. He opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. He half-knelt on the ground, unable to move for a moment.
"Big … Brother Fang! Help … help me … "Zhan Hongsheng felt an intense pain in her chest. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. Her face was pale as a sheet as she slumped to the ground.
"This is … a Great Fiendish Demon's Heartbeat Resonance … Hongsheng! Hang in there … I'll get Teacher and the others right away. You must hang in there! " Fang Tan struggled to his feet. His Black Membrane suddenly trembled and black Qi encircled his body. For a brief moment, he gained a measure of strength. He shot away from the Great Fiendish Demon and disappeared from the plains in the blink of an eye.
"Big Brother Fang …" Zhan Hongsheng was at a loss for words. But as she watched Fang Tan's fleeing figure, she felt as if something in her heart had shattered.
"What identity should I use?" Suddenly, a low, hoarse, and strange voice rang out.
Zhan Hongsheng was shocked. He knew that the Great Demon had arrived. To be called a Great Demon, it had to be at least of the Snake realm. Some of the Great Demons at this level had extremely strong physical bodies, which would cause a strange phenomenon like heartbeat resonance. Once one entered the hunting range of the Great Demon, one's entire body would go numb from the vibrations of the Great Demon's heartbeat, causing internal organs to bleed and become weak, like prey caught in a spider's web. He waited for the great fiendish demon to slowly approach and hunt.
This was a hunting technique developed by great fiendish demons that lacked speed. But when it was magnified, it became an invulnerable nightmare yao art.
Plop …
Plop …
The heartbeat gradually approached. Suddenly, the heartbeat resonance shrank abruptly and faded away.
Zhan Hongsheng finally had a chance to breathe. She was overjoyed, but she didn't have time to analyze the reason. She used all her remaining strength and rolled towards the side of the truck. She barely managed to hide behind a pile of goods and sat down.
"I almost got exposed … Hmm … Resonance should be turned off first," the voice said faintly.
After catching her breath, Zhan Hongsheng turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound through the gaps of the goods.
A burly man with the head of a snake and the body of a human immediately entered her field of vision.
He had the head of a black python and the body of a human man. He was dressed in a long grayish-black robe, but she could still see the muscular lines beneath it.
Zhan Hongsheng relaxed when she saw him. Snake-type demons had extremely poor eyesight. Most of them relied on other methods to detect the outside world, such as body temperature or smell.
Zhan Hongsheng quickly activated her bloodline secret skill. One of the secret skills was to regulate one's breathing and body temperature. Coincidentally, she was a disciple of the Fine Garden Sect, so she was skilled in temperature control. If it had been something else, she really wouldn't have been able to conceal herself.
When she finally relaxed, Zhan Hongsheng recalled Fang Tan's decision to abandon her and escape alone. She couldn't help but feel sad. But when her emotions fluctuated too much, the secret skill began to become unstable. She was so scared that she had to divert her attention and didn't dare to think too much about it.
"Why is there a great fiendish demon of the snake tribe here?" Zhan Hongsheng forced herself to focus on this problem.
"This is clearly the gathering place of the sect teams. There are so many powerful sect masters and elders here. A snake demon, even if it's a great fiendish demon, shouldn't dare to barge in recklessly."
Through the gaps, she carefully sized up the great fiendish demon that had restrained the heartbeat resonance.
However, what she saw almost caused her heart to stop beating.
The great fiendish demon's head and body were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. From a tall and burly man, it gradually transformed into a slender woman's body.
The head kept changing color. Its scales turned into human skin, and its facial features slowly transformed into a familiar face. A head of long black hair grew rapidly and hung down its back.
"This is!!?" Zhan Hongsheng was shocked. She recognized the name of the person that the demon had transformed into.
That was He Xiangzi! Prime Devil Sect's current senior apprentice-sister, He Xiangzi!
"What the hell is this …?!"
"That's her. The most convenient person to do this." The great fiendish demon seemed to be very satisfied with its transformation art. It examined itself from top to bottom and found no flaws. It instantly smiled and walked towards the carriage in the direction of the Prime Devil Sect.
"Senior Apprentice-Sister? Why are you here alone? Where's Master? "Suddenly, a familiar voice came from another direction.
Zhan Hongsheng was also stunned. She recognized the owner of this voice. It was none other than that annoying disciple of the Prime Devil Sect, Lu Sheng.
That arrogant and expressionless Lu Sheng who always treated others coldly!
"Oh no!" She thought of how Lu Sheng had no idea that He Xiangzi was a great fiendish demon. If he got too close and an accident happened …
She didn't dare to think further.
"I have to inform him as soon as possible!" She tried to move her body, but the injury from the heartbeat resonance was too severe. She couldn't move at all.
"Oh, it's Junior Apprentice-Brother Lu. Where's Master? Did you see where he is?" "He Xiangzi" asked with a smile.
"I specially bought a small gift for Master. I hope he likes it."
"Oh, I saw him on a carriage in the north. He was still chatting with the sect master of the Hovering Sect, Reverend Floating Wanderer," Lu Sheng replied.
"Is that so? Then I'll go look for him first, "" He Xiangzi "said with a smile.
"Alright." Lu Sheng didn't seem to be alone. He was accompanied by a woman with skin as white as snow.
"That's great. I'll go look for my Master too. I'll ask him about the explosion just now. There are so few people around. Maybe everyone went to investigate the situation," the woman said softly.
"Alright." Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
Zhan Hongsheng watched as the woman left quickly. Lu Sheng also gradually walked in the opposite direction. She heaved a sigh of relief.
The "He Xiangzi" that the great fiendish demon had transformed into acted as if nothing had happened. She walked towards the north.
Zhan Hongsheng also calmed down a little. If the two sect masters of the Snake realm were together, they might have a chance to see through this demon's disguise.
"Oh, right." Suddenly, Lu Sheng's voice sounded again. Hearing this, Zhan Hongsheng's heart tightened.
"Senior Apprentice-Sister, when did you learn to wear such clothes? Why didn't I remember you wearing such clothes? "
"Me?" "He Xiangzi" was stunned. "Is there something wrong with my clothes?"
Lu Sheng smiled. "Of course not. You usually wear long sleeves and long pants. Especially your right arm. That place … "
"What's there?" "He Xiangzi" was puzzled.
"Isn't there a scar there that you can't heal?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.
"Scar?" "He Xiangzi" was stunned. She raised her right arm and touched it. "Isn't this it? Take a look. "
Lu Sheng did not understand. He looked at her arm again. There really was a scar there.
"You …"
"Chi!!"
Suddenly, a beam of red light flashed past.
"He Xiangzi"'s figure traversed a distance of tens of meters in an instant. It appeared in front of Lu Sheng. The scarlet snake tongue in its mouth coiled around Lu Sheng's neck like a whip.
The distance between the two was close in the blink of an eye.
"Then tell me what the shape of the scar is. This time, I'll make sure to imitate it …" A strange smile appeared on the snake demon's face.
"Bam!!"
He clawed at Lu Sheng's heart.
"Clang!!"
The sharp claws scratched at Lu Sheng's chest, but the sound of metal clashing could be heard. The snake demon's complexion changed.
Lu Sheng looked down at the sharp claws on his chest. He then looked at the snake demon who had changed back to its original form. A strange expression appeared on his face.
"I've still been discovered … I didn't intend to expose myself …"
"!!?" The snake demon's eyes widened. He did not understand what was happening. He felt a terrifying force surging out from the opponent's body.
Before he could react, he saw Lu Sheng's entire body inflate as if he was blowing air into a balloon.
His lower body turned into two extremely thick hooves in the black gas, like an elephant. Behind him was a huge tail the size of a meter, covered with ferocious black thorns.
His upper body seemed to be a monster covered in a layer of armor. Countless muscles swelled and turned black. Especially his arms and neck, it was as if there were black and purple pythons coiled around him.
Three pitch-black horns quickly protruded from his forehead. His mouth split open to his ears, revealing sharp, jagged teeth. Just a glance from the gap of his mouth was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
In just a few breaths, Lu Sheng had transformed from a frail scholar into a ferocious monster more than three meters tall.
"You!!" The snake demon had no time to think. He quickly activated his strength-amplifying demonic art. The scales on his body stood up, and his muscles surged wildly under his skin. He gathered his strength and demonic power, crossing his arms in front of him.
"Bam!!!"
A sound like a magnified war drum exploded.
The snake demon put his arms together, and was hit right in the center by Lu Sheng's thick claws. He did not fly backward. Instead, he was rooted to the ground, motionless.
His whole body trembled violently, as if he was under some kind of terrifying pressure.
Zhan Hongsheng, who was hiding in the dark, was also dumbfounded.
At first, she was worried that Lu Sheng would be ambushed and killed by the snake demon. Then, the situation took a turn for the worse. Lu Sheng actually transformed into this terrifying form in an instant.
She had no idea what was going on.
Wasn't Lu Sheng a new disciple of the Prime Devil Sect? His personality was weird, unsociable, and he had a bad temper. She hated him just by looking at him.
But … but … this sudden transformation … Zhan Hongsheng could not accept it at all.
