Fang Zhixing, furrowing his brow, hesitated, “Shouldn’t the strength of the demon be the sum of both Feng Guangyi and my powers?”
Feng Guangyi hastened to explain, “That is true.
When the demon shapeshifts into my form, it can only use my martial arts, my power, and cannot use your martial arts or your powers.
Vice versa!
Therefore, no matter how many people the demon has devoured, its strongest power will always be that of the strongest person it has consud!”
Fang Zhixing shuddered as he was reminded of a highly popular ga from his previous life.
“Original God”
In the ga, players could freely switch between different characters.
Whichever character you switched to, you could use that character’s respective skills.
The demon is much like the Original God!
Master Yun Xin thought for a mont and added, “Take note, the demon’s abilities do not end there, it has another trump card—’revealing its true form’.”
“Revealing its true form, that phrase sounds so familiar!” Fang Zhixing perked up his ears to listen.
Master Yun Xin elaborated carefully, “Once the demon reveals its true form, its power will surge instantaneously, and in most cases, it could elevate to a higher realm.
For example, a demon that has consud a martial artist from the Power Transmission Realm might, upon revealing its true form, have its power instantly ascend to the Great Python Realm!
However, once the demon reveals its true form, it will find it very difficult to revert back.
That is to say, revealing its true form is a one-off ace up its sleeve.
After using it, the demon will no longer be able to transform into a human.”
Feng Guangyi nodded repeatedly, “We discovered a large village infested with demons, where a martial artist in the early stages of the Great Python Realm went missing.
Unless unexpected, he has been consud by the demon, which ans that demon possesses at least the strength of the early Great Python Realm.
If that demon is pushed to desperation and reveals its true form, its power may skyrocket to the perfect Great Python Realm or even the One Beast Realm.
And we, as a couple, one at the early stage of the Great Python Realm and the other in the late stage of the Power Transmission Realm, don’t have complete assurance of victory, which is why we had no choice but to seek your help.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing frowned, “Why haven’t you reported to the authorities?
Such a significant matter, the court must surely take it very seriously.”
At Fang Zhixing’s words, Feng Guangyi and his spouse exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting uncertainly.
Yun Zhen paused, then murmured in a low voice, “My spouse and I are wanted by the governnt for killing a few unscrupulous wealthy bullies, so we can’t show our faces in public.
Besides, once the court is alerted, their response will be extrely brutal.”
Master Yun Xin sighed deeply, “The court would send troops, surround the village, and then slay everyone, not sparing a single creature, in order to prevent future troubles.”
Fang Zhixing beca silent.
Indeed, this crude and simple way of dealing with problems is very much in line with the style of the court.
Master Yun Xin exclaid, “Whenever chaotic tis arrive, the common people lose everything, hunger ever-present, and many are forced to consu exotic beast at out of starvation, which directly leads to a surge in the number of demons.
Alas, historical records often state that at the end of a dynasty, the world becos chaotic, with demons dancing wildly.
It is exactly for this reason!”
“Demons dancing wildly, so it turns out the ‘demon’ here refers to these demons…”
Fang Zhixing quickly understood in his heart.
Master Yun Xin continued, “We cannot delay, we must set off for that village tonight.
Hero Fang, would you lend us your assistance?”
Fang Zhixing pondered for a mont, then replied, “The safety of the people is at stake, it is only right that I contribute.”
Master Yun Xin and Feng Guangyi, the couple, were overjoyed.
With Fang Zhixing joining them, the odds of defeating the demon increased significantly.
“Please give a mont, I need to make preparations.” Fang Zhixing stood up.
“Take your ti, we also need to prepare,” said Master Yun Xin with a smile.
Fang Zhixing turned to leave, and upon returning to his courtyard, he called out loudly, “Xigou!”
Soon after, Xigou ran over from the next room, yawning and complaining grumpily, “What the hell do you want in the middle of the night?
Do you have insomnia or what?”
Fang Zhixing ignored him and continued to pack his belongings.
Seeing this, Xigou blinked and asked, “What’s the rush, you’re leaving now?”
Only then did Fang Zhixing begin to explain, narrating the situation.
“What, demons?!”
Xigou suddenly beca alert, clicking his tongue, “For real?
No way, there are actually demons in this world?”
Fang Zhixing nodded, “There’s no faking it.
Master Yun Xin and Feng Guangyi, the couple, have encountered demons not just once.
They have even conducted specialized research on demons and know a great deal about them.”
Xigou pondered and then blurted out, “If that’s the case, knowing the dangers, why the hell would you jump into the fray?
Are you tired of living?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “You’ve forgotten what I do.
In the investnt banking field, risk and opportunity always coexist.”
“Bah!”
Xigou scoffed, “Risk and opportunity, my ass; I think you’re just full of it.
No one’s troubling you, yet you go looking for trouble, so idle!”
Fang Zhixing sternly said, “Fear stems from the unknown!
This world has demons, and now in turbulent tis, it ans we’ll inevitably encounter demons eventually.
If we don’t take the initiative to understand demons now, how will we cope in the future?”
Xigou, unconvinced, retorted, “If it doesn’t concern you, don’t get involved.
You could just secretly observe how Master Yun Xin and his people handle demons, why must you be personally involved?”
Fang Zhixing earnestly said, “Experience is sothing that accumulates through personal involvent.
You talk too much, are you going or not?”
