Chapter 62: Chapter 56: The Demon Fiend’s Metamorphosis, Silver Fox Subdued by Fists

“Leave this Fox Demon to me, the three of you hold off Wei Hongying. Ning Xuan, Miss Su, seize the chance to leave the battlefield!”

Taking advantage of the moment between Wei Hongying’s lovesick gaze and Hu Yulang’s exchange of looks, Wei Fan quickly instructed.

“Find a way to escape. These demons in their Metamorphosis Stage are terrifying. You’re just at the Acupoint Opening First Layer; the demons of Su City aren’t like those in the countryside…”

Li Fengyi, hearing Wei Fan’s uneasy words, sensed he was preparing to battle with Wei Hongying and his partner. She hurriedly tried to stop him.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she knew something was wrong.

She quickly turned her head, seeing Wei Fan already transformed into a whirlwind, charging fiercely at Hu Yulang.

This guy doesn’t listen well, doesn’t he have a sense of his own limits? Why does he get excited when he sees a demon?

“Damn it, he wants to be a hero!”

Realizing the situation, Li Fengyi’s eyes blazed with intensity as well.

In her view, Wei Fan was heading toward certain death, sacrificing his life to entangle the most formidable Hu Yulang and buy time for the others to escape.

“Make your move!”

Gritting her teeth, she roared, unleashing her prepared True Qi which instantly transformed into a barrage of sword energy, mercilessly slashing toward the obstructing Wei Hongying.

Meanwhile, Su Guangwen and Peng Mingjie also sprang into action, attacking Wei Hongying: “Xuerong, you two go now!”

Su Guangwen shouted, urging Su Xuerong and Ning Xuan to flee immediately.

“Are you in such a hurry to feed me?”

Gazing at the initiating Wei Fan, a trace of excitement appeared on Hu Yulang’s handsome face, saliva dripping disgustingly from his mouth.

He was starving.

In the Metamorphosis Stage, eating ordinary people isn’t sufficient; only by consuming the vigorous Qi blood of a martial artist from the Acupoint Opening realm would he feel satiated.

His last full meal had been three days ago.

In the clearing in front of the wooden cabin, Hu Yulang slowly raised his palm, and a large amount of silver-white fur rapidly emerged. Sharp claws sprouted from his fingers.

Six Acupoint Martial Artists, one True Qi Martial Artist.

Eating these seven individuals should allow him to complete his metamorphosis and transform into a Seventh-Grade Great Demon of the True Realm all at once.

With his Silver Fox Bloodline, killing an ordinary Acupoint Opening Ninth Layer would be as easy as crushing an ant.

“Eat me?”

Wei Fan’s eyes gleamed with cold light. Rushing forward, he raised his hands high above his head, and sword intent surged up instantly, cleaving out a swath of sword aura with great force.

Mad Saber Nine Slashes!

Though this was a martial technique of the True Qi Realm, with the augmentation of Small Success Level sword intent, every strand of sword aura slashing out seemed as invincible as a divine soldier.

With the slash of the blade, the terrifying sword aura stirred up a storm, sweeping across all directions.

Eighteen sword auras emerged from various angles, striking towards Hu Yulang.

“Sword Intent?”

Hu Yulang’s expression froze suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.

Even before the sword aura reached him, he already felt as if he was being torn apart by the sword intent.

The next moment, as if springs had been installed under his feet, he swiftly retreated, not daring to confront Wei Fan’s sword intent.

Bang bang bang…

Horrifying explosions sounded one after another.

The spot he was standing in earlier was shattered by the sword auras, raising clouds of dust into the air.

Within the smoke and dust, the black-clad Demon Suppression Guard surged with sword intent, charging through the haze once more.

“So, you possess sword intent but your power is just average!”

The scale of True Qi from that slash could only be described as low, not fit to be used alongside sword intent at all.

If I hadn’t been startled by the sword intent, with my demonic power comparable to over seven hundred years of True Qi of a human martial artist, I wouldn’t have to fear those sword auras at all.

“Is my power average? Then why did you dodge!”

Wei Fan soared through the air, his energy stirring up a violent wind as he slashed again, eighteen sword auras emerging to entangle and slay.

Difficult indeed to kill a Sixth Grade Great Demon of the True Realm.

Moreover, from the demonic power emanating from Hu Yulang, he’s probably a genius even amongst demons, akin to a human genius whose dantian accommodates thirty years of True Qi; his demonic power is equivalent to over seven hundred years of human True Qi.

This, however, does not daunt Wei Fan. His power, being five hundred years’ worth of Supreme True Qi, fears not even the seven or eight hundred years’ True Qi.

The main issue is that he has just broken through the Acupoint Opening realm, and has yet to master many martial techniques of this realm to fully harness all his True Qi.

Another problem is his lightweight skill is still the True Qi realm’s Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Step, unable to catch up to Hu Yulang at all.

“I’ve never eaten a genius who comprehended sword intent!”

Hu Yulang extended his scarlet tongue to lick the nauseating saliva from his lips.

“Break!”

This time, he did not dodge. His entire body’s demonic power surged like a dam bursting, collapsing the wooden cabin and rushing toward Wei Fan’s sword aura like a fierce wind.

The eighteen sword auras advanced with unstoppable momentum but were continuously weakened as if slicing into water.

Pfft!

Finally, when he slashed through the demon qi and struck Hu Yulang, he only managed to make a dozen small cuts on his body.

“Just like that…”

Hu Yulang was about to mock the lack of power when his expression suddenly changed.

He tried to use demonic power to expel the True Qi that had invaded his body, but found that this True Qi was unusually domineering, starting to rampage within him.

“What a domineering True Qi!”

This True Qi rampaged within, dispersing a considerable amount of his demonic power before he could finally expel the domineering True Qi from his body.

“That True Qi is purple…”

Supreme True Qi!

Horizontal Cultivation of Innate!

Two phrases suddenly leapt into his mind.

How could a martial artist with Horizontal Cultivation of Innate have so little True Qi?

He raised his head in shock, only to see the black-clothed Demon Suppression Guard across from him already swinging a punch.

Rumble…

He heard a sound like mountains collapsing and seas roaring, and saw a terrifying tide of purple True Qi surging from the black-clothed Demon Suppression Guard’s body.

He further saw the ground beneath the opponent tremble, cracks erupting as if their body was violently shaking, causing countless tiny stones to bounce into the air.

“No, his True Qi isn’t as little as I thought. It’s that the previous martial technique didn’t unleash all his True Qi!”

Hu Yulang instantly understood everything; a martial artist with Horizontal Cultivation of Innate breaking through to the Acupoint Realm couldn’t possibly possess only a hundred years’ worth of True Qi.

“Ha!”

He let out a low growl, instantaneously revealing his true form—a silver fox far larger than a tiger, nearly a zhang in length.

Just as he revealed his true form, the black-clothed Demon Suppression Guard’s punch had already landed.

In an instant, a terrifying wave surged forth, a massive True Qi as thick as a barrel charged forward relentlessly.

“Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, if I devour you, I can surely become a Nascent Soul Great Demon!”

A mad look appeared in Hu Yulang’s eyes.

A Horizontal Cultivation of Innate was worth as much as a dozen acupoint martial artists in Qi and blood.

He opened his bloody maw, a silver light flashing within.

“Roar!”

Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the silver light in Hu Yulang’s mouth shot out, directly striking the barrel-thick True Qi.

In midair, the purple True Qi and silver light collided instantaneously, like two torrents clashing.

Only to see the silver light shatter, scattered all over.

“My Silver Fox Bloodline Power can’t compare to Supreme True Qi?”

Hu Yulang’s eyes almost popped out; the silver light, under the purple True Qi, wasn’t powerless but lacked significant resistance.

“Howl…”

The fist carrying the purple True Qi broke through the layers of silver light, smashing into the gaping maw, tilting the head back, shattering teeth in an instant, sending the massive silver fox demon body flying back with a crash.

In midair, the demonic power dispersed like a tide, tearing up a layer of ground.

The huge silver fox demon body trembled, the silver fur stained red with blood.

“This is the Demon Suppression Bureau Grand Commander’s Ultimate Skill, Mountain Shaking Fist!”

A kind of frenzied vibration caused his demon body to crack; Hu Yulang only felt as if his soul was being shattered, his body weakly flying backward.

…

“Why aren’t you lot escaping, do you want to die together to be happy?”

Li Fengyi lost her composure, hair disheveled, her silver clothes long dyed red with blood.

On the other side, Ning Xuan was half-lying on the ground, a massive wound on his abdomen almost cutting him in two: “Brother Wei…”

He still held some hope for Wei Fan, but not much, as even if Wei Fan cultivated Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, his opponent was a demon fiend in the Metamorphosis Stage.

If it wasn’t for Wei Hongying wanting to give Hu Yulang a “warm meal,” he would have died from that sword strike.

Then there was Su Xuerong, who, although not having such terrifying external injuries as Ning Xuan, was also severely injured, barely able to stand by propping herself up with her sword.

When the battle erupted, the two of them indeed fled.

But seeing Li Fengyi, Peng Mingjie, and Su Guangwen stayed and continued fighting Wei Hongying, the two returned to join the fray.

“Senior Sister, you go, take Ning Xuan and the others, I’ll fend off this crazy woman!”

Peng Mingjie roared in anger, with several sword wounds on his body, his aura turbulent.

He knew that Senior Sister Li Fengyi wanted to use him to stall Wei Hongying to let the others escape first, but he couldn’t bear to leave fellow disciples and companions behind.

Su Guangwen had the same idea, wanting to hold off Wei Hongying to let the others go first.

As a result, no one left, causing Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong to have to return.
