653: Chapter 28: Feather Transformation Demon Man (2/4) 653: Chapter 28: Feather Transformation Demon Man (2/4) An Jing had encountered Demon n before.
On the Broken Blade Peak, while guarding the Primordial Spirit Cave, he had faced off against a Demon Man from Iron Li.
That Demon Man seed no different from a human in any respect, save for his use of the Art of Magic that involved a few Heavenly Demon Divine Skills and the augntation of Demonic Qi.
But the Demon n of the Tianyuan Realm were quite different.
They appeared almost human, but they had almost nothing in common with humankind…
if anything, they were more like Puppetry.
Their limbs were primarily constructed from a copious amount of chanical prosthetics, and sprouting, vine-like roots of the Evergreen Wood, covered with jagged thorns, entwined around their bodies.
They appeared as hybrid entities of tal and wood, the vegetal parts forming a network similar to veins, while the tal functioned as bones and flesh.
Their skulls bore no facial features, only broken chanical structures, or the strange vine-like tissues filling them, functioning like brains.
Their hands had transford into long whips or sharp claws, even bizarre wings, each with a distinct but uniformly horrific and ferocious form.
And they were…
by no ans for show.
The first Demon Man to appear in everyone’s view was clutching a panic-stricken Wilderness Tribulation Cultivator.
It opened its mouth, and its tongue had turned into a blood vine, piercing directly into the Tribulation Cultivator’s brain—The Tribulation Cultivator scread montarily but soon could no longer make a sound, his eyes rolled back completely white.
And the Demon Man’s hand also morphed into tree roots that plunged into the Tribulation Cultivator’s heart, causing this unfortunate Cultivator’s entire body to wither and shrivel up rapidly, turning into a corpse of skin and bones.
“Ah…”
Replenished with Essence Qi, the Demon Man shuddered and let out a satisfied moan, its vines turning even greener and more vibrant, while one after another, purple-black patterns materialized on its tallic body, forming an eerie totem.
Behind it, other Demon n of various forms, all covered in fresh blood and obviously having already feasted within the depths of the fortress, began to erge one after another.
Then, they greedily fixed their gaze on the flesh and blood before them.
The hunt had begun.
Demon n possessed extraordinary life force, defense, and strength; they were extrely agile and fought crazily without fear of death.
Qi Refinent Cultivators stood no chance of stopping them.
The mont they arrived, they roared and lunged at the Wilderness tribes’ allied forces and Monsters/Demons advancing step by step toward the Fortress Area, causing massive casualties instantly.
Ignoring the barrage of Art of Magic cast at them, the Demon n broke through the formation.
So of them bit into the arms of those at the forefront, others swung their sharp claws to sever heads, then gulped down the blood from the necks, while so crushed skulls with their mouths as if cracking open a sugar ball before swallowing it—these Demon n were extrely pleased with the fresh blood and life-filled Spiritual Power.
After tasting the deliciousness, they beca more ferociously mad and lunged toward the Wilderness troops, which were now starting to fall into disarray.
“Feather Transformation maniacs!” “Heavenly chanism gone mad?” “Demon n?!
So many Demon n?!”
The Wilderness people also cried out in panic.
These Demon n were Feather Transformation Dao Cultivators who had risen too high and, lacking proper maintenance by Cultivators, gradually lost their humanity, and were ultimately corrupted by Demonic Qi.
They are the most dangerous type of all Demon n, possessing imnse strength, no weaknesses, swift movent, and imnse ferocity.
Because they had replaced their entire bodies with Heavenly chanism Prosthetics and Evergreen Wood before their Demonization, they crave fresh Flesh and Blood even more after becoming Demon n, hunting down like madn upon seeing any humans.
[Sothing’s wrong, why are there so many of the most dangerous Feather Transformation Demon n?]
On the other side, the Steel Skeleton rcenary troop that was also in a defensive wait-and-see position noticed the Demon n, and beyond the alarm felt in their hearts, a surge of confusion arose: [Aren’t all Feather Transformation Dao Cultivators either under the company’s protection or outright mbers of the company?
The Demon n in the Wilderness are almost all crazed fugitives from the company, or freaks who have illegally modified themselves…
Who could have gathered so many Feather Transformation Demon n?]
Facing the onslaught of a dozen or so Feather Transformation Demon n, the teams preparing to attack the Fortress Area disintegrated, with even the Demon Spirits wary of these frenzied beasts.
“Retreat, retreat!”
The leader of the Wilderness Foundation Establishnt Cultivators sounded the horn, signaling the retreat, while the tiger-like Ash Crows also howled in their own way, as they too were ‘fresh Flesh and Blood’ for the Demon n’s hunting, with many Wolf Demons already drained of their flesh and blood, and nurous Ash Crows pounced on by winged Demon n.
But their retreat and the appearance of the Demon n also triggered other lurking teams to erge.
“Figures.”
Several rcenary troops like the Steel Skeletons, who had been watching with detached interest before, now beca excited: “It looks like there really are so treasures in this place!”
“I was a bit puzzled before.
How could real treasures be guarded only by a bunch of weak Tribulation Cultivators with high-end gear they don’t even know how to use?
Now it seems this place is likely a test site for the conglorate, right?
Are all these Feather Transformation Demon n failed experints?”
“I said it before, the group’s transformation of Magic Guards and Daoist Soldiers always ant human experintation, it figures!”
In a flash, several more Foundation Establishnt auras appeared, their presence unhidden, all targeting the center of the Fortress Area.
Taking advantage of the Demon n still pursuing the previously exposed Demon Spirits and Wilderness teams, these Foundation Establishnt Cultivators leaped into the air, steering various Art of Magic Magic Artifacts and mounts straight towards the fortress, stirring the situation in North Lake Marsh into chaos once again.
“Indeed, those who manage to live comfortably in the Wilderness aren’t fools.”
Having already reached a high vantage point in the recess, with the Sword Box mounted at the fire support position, An Jing surveyed the entire periphery of the marsh and the situation in the Fortress Area from the observation scope.
Zhang Zhuo was laying mines in the vicinity, Xu Yue was deploying drones to gather information, while Mrs.
Guang was by An Jing’s side, tasked with reinforcing him.
He had noticed during his parachute descent that the surrounding area was a veritable den of dragons and tigers, spotting over fifteen Foundation Establishnt auras at a glance—and this was just a cursory observation by An Jing, with most of his attention focused on the result of the missile launch.
An Jing wasn’t afraid of this situation; instead, he understood very well that if a place had more than a dozen Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, then the appearance of a Purple Mansion would beco highly likely—a matter neither the Wilderness, Demon Spirits, nor Xuanye City would allow to spiral out of control.
Thinking this, An Jing turned his head and inquired of Mrs.
Guang, “Is there any news from Third Middle School?”
Still not having co back to reality from the dramatic battle among the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, Mrs.
Guang was startled for a mont before finally awakening as if from a dream and said, “The directors have been notified; there should be a response soon.”
But it wasn’t just a response.
By now, Third Middle School had already turned into a ss due to the situation encountered by An Jing and others.
At the first sign of missile attack on the Space Shuttle, a security alert was triggered, and many senior school officials who were aware of this convened an ergency online eting to discuss how to deal with the situation.
