70 A True Demon Dies (1/2)

Xie Ming's Silver Blood Pill didn't take away his reason. Thus, even if his appearance had changed to be more demonic than Jam, Cynthia, and Danger Noodle combined, he still possessed complete control over his body. For all intents and purposes he had essentially become a fully fledged Sage upon taking the pill, because the pill was originally intended for Sages to consume.

The Silver Blood Pill… it could be both a blessing or a curse. Like Arnold's Bedevilment pill, it gave a cultivator powers transcendant to their own, but in return, the side effects were a bit ”extreme.” If Xie Ming were a Sage, even the weakest Lesser Sage only possessing a Sage Domain, he'd still be within the acceptable range for surviving the lethal backlash that would inevitably strike when the pill's ”good” effects dissipated.

Now, not only did he take the pill before reaching the minimum barrier to combat the side effects, he was also not a young chap like Jam and company… Xie Ming, and frankly 99% of the Saint Gods in attendance, were all at least halfway through the lifespan. Unlike Jam who had lived 0.002% of his lifespan, Xie Ming was almost 6,000 years old! To a Saint God who could live for up to 10,000 years, he was well into his middle ages.

Xie Ming barely had a chance to raise his cultivation; he had stagnated for too long. After coming down from this power high, he'd… he'd probably die.

On the field, Xie Ming ripped through the Munchies like they were stuffed toys. A wave of his hands would command hundreds of thousands of sharp Sage Metals to rip the opposition's defense. He flew around a small sword-like metal amalgamation, dozens of times the speed of sound.

In less than a second, three Munchies were killed off. With less Munchies on the field, their already unoptimized Owl Formation became even more unstable; rendering them even more helpless before Xie Ming.

It also didn't help that Jam took one out of every dozen support beam to fire at the Munchies. He may have acted mischievously and even coy when confronting Wang Bo, but god knows that the second they really did lose out to him, he'd cast unearthly terror upon them. He had a lot on his plate wiping out the horde of Saint Lord Demonic Beasts that Dai Mingzi summoned as well as holding down the man in question. But, for the sake of hastening the destruction of the Munchies, he allocated some of his manpower to Xie Ming's aid.

Needless to say, with Jam shooting off a support beam every couple seconds, Xie Ming killed all eight Munchies controlling their formation in a flash. He still had a couple hours left to his transformation, so Xie Ming flew off with his metal storm to finish Wang Bo once and for all.

Off to Kirin's side of the battlefield, the second Wang Bo saw Xie Ming actually take the Silver Blood Pill into his mouth he had immediately tried to turn tail and run with all his might. Alas, things didn't go as planned as Kirin noticed immediately.

As the leader of the formation it had been up to Kirin to take notice of everything, and as a competent leader, he easily noticed the change in Wang Bo's style of combat when things turned against his favor. Neither Kirin nor anyone within his formation could hold down Wang Bo forcefully, but that didn't stop them from delivering a final sinister blow…

All throughout the fight, since Wang Bo had taken that bloody talisman and summoned his Soul Severing Owl, he had changed to become a melee fighter. His corrosive flames became a sticky mass that would scorch all it touched until its complete disintegration. Obviously, to combat this horrifying foe, the entire Cardinal Formation had played defensively and from a distance. They had sent countless attacks of different Daos towards Wang Bo, but in the end they didn't accomplish much, aside from keeping him tied down.

Now, that Wang Bo wanted to leave, Rina came up with a pretty good idea. She first sent Kirin a transmission ”Hey, do you have any Space Locking Talismans?”
