Chapter 59 (1/2)

The sound of breathing stopped. Zou Zhengze subconsciously clutched his throat with his left hand and hastily threw a punch at Li Ang’s head with his right hand.

Li Ang twisted his body to the left and evaded the punch. As he kicked against the wall, he punched the demon’s lower abdomen.

The ripple energy spread inside the abdomen to the rectus abdominis muscle, the transverse abdominis muscle, the omentum, the ileum, the jejunum, and finally, the posterior lumbar!

Zou Zhengze only felt his abdomen go numb and could no longer feel his spine. After gathering his energy with great difficulty, he lifted his left leg, aimed at Li Ang’s thoracic cavity, and kicked. However, Li Ang took a few steps back and used his left arm to block the kick before taking a step to the left. Then, his right fist continued punching the demon’s abdominal chest, causing it to cave in.

Dong, dong, dong…

Li Ang expressionlessly threw punches one after another like a pile driver, aiming at the demon’s head and beating it until it sank into the concave chest.

“So painful…”

Zou Zhengze, whose head was stuck in his torso, murmured indistinctly, “Really painful…”

Black Demonic Qi was emitted from his body.

Li Ang felt goosebumps all over and used the ripples to destroy the joints of the demon’s four limbs while activating the Cat’s Eye and its Illusion before swiftly retreating.

“So painful.”

The pulverized body was completely unaffected by the Illusion. It twisted in a manner that defied human body mechanics and stood up.

There was a squiggling meaty clump of blood, muscles, and bone where the head was supposed to be.

Chai Cuiqiao, who was busy leading the souls back to their bodies, suddenly discovered that the dark cloud whirlpool binding the souls had dissipated. Her movements were no longer restricted.

This spelt trouble. After all, the Yin Demonic Qi in the sky congregated to form a long dragon that flew through the huge hole formed at the balcony and rushed down to Zou Zhengze’s head.

This signified that Zou Zhengze had completely given up on his plan to devour the souls of the residents of this shantytown. At the same time, Li Ang was now facing a full-bodied demon who was no longer held back by anything.

Chai Cuiqiao, who was not affected by the dark cloud whirlpool anymore, bit her lips anxiously. Using her fastest speed, she kicked all souls like footballs back into their bodies. Then, she flew back to the building Li Ang was in.

“I am asking you, why are you running away?”

The demon, who had a bizarre ball of flesh for a head, stumbled down the corridor like an infant learning to walk.

The red-black runes on his skin lost control as they convulsed, transformed, fluttered, and trembled like the mojibake on a crashed computer.

The bone spurs growing all over his body alternated between growing and shrinking. In a moment, holes were formed as a result of the corrosion and red-white bones sprouted from them. A moment later, pink sarcoma-shaped tentacles grew and fell off.

Such a being could no longer be considered human but was still labeled by the system as a player who cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power.

The manhua series Legend of Emperors depicted a world that was highly skilled in martial arts. The Heavenly Demonic Power was considered an apex cultivation technique in Legend of Emperors. Zou Zhengze might be a veteran player, but his will and martial arts cultivation were still incapable of mastering this cultivation technique.

The reason he was able to retain his complete and individual will was because of the skill Calm Mind Art, which helped counterbalance the Heavenly Demonic Power/Yin-Yang Diabolism’s negative side-effects.

[Skill Name: Calm Mind Art]

[Category: General]

[Effects: Passively calms the mind, maintains a calm mindset, and neutralizes Illusions]

[Consumption: None]

[Learning Requirement: Intelligence more than or equal to 10]

[Remarks: If one’s mind is calm and clear, nothing can alarm them.]

The Calm Mind Art was not as powerful as the Heavenly Demonic Power. Due to the large amount of Demonic Qi entering the body, the Calm Mind Art lost its effectiveness. The unadulterated evil intent brought about by the Yin-Yang Diabolism corroded Zou Zhengze’s consciousness.

It would not be wrong to say that Zou Zhengze had completely lost himself. He had become a wild, instinctive demonic being.

Li Ang silently inched backward. Zou Zhengze’s blood dripped from the glove, drawing a long red line on the dusty corridor floor.

Crack…
