Chapter 80: Chapter 78 Demon Blood Strengthens the Body, Human Blood Stabilizes the Soul, Demon Transformation Prohibition Method! [Subscribe!]

Looking at the Sacrificial Tower ahead, this person suddenly transformed into a blood-drenched monster.

Both Lin Yan and the Great Commander’s faces turned extremely unsightly.

Since the eerie night had descended, the Human Clan had been struggling to survive.

In the distant past, many Magic Methods had been derived.

The Worshiping Evil Method was merely one of them.

"Is this... a mutated demon body?"

Although Lin Yan had his suspicions, he had never seen it firsthand, and thus turned to look at the Great Commander.

Zhao Zhou’s Great Commander had an extremely solemn expression, nodded, and said, "Exactly, it’s the Demon Transformation Technique. It’s also among the strictly forbidden techniques in all major cities within Qifeng Prefecture!"

Before the ancient era, a Martial Artist at the peak of internal strength already represented the limit of human capability, yet before a powerful demon, they were still no match.

Before the birth of Martial Artists in the Refining Essence Realm, the ancestors of the Human Clan continuously explored, seeking ways to strengthen their clan even further.

And the Demon Transformation Technique was one such method.

By merging with the bloodline of demons, the bodies of Martial Artists were enhanced, becoming stronger.

However, the downside was that the demonic instincts and savage nature driven by bloodlust would erode the will of the Martial Artist.

Thus, those who used the Demon Transformation Technique to strengthen their bodies and become powerful were always at risk of losing control.

And once they fell into madness, they would be utterly unrestrained, and commence a massacre.

Thus, in each city, it was among the forbidden techniques, just as dangerous as the Worshiping Evil Method.

The scene in front of them, the transformation of a human body into something grotesque, was a sign of complete loss of control.

But that monster, atop the Sacrificial Tower, let out a roar and spoke human words.

"Seal the gates! Blood sacrifice!"

BOOM!!!

From behind, the sounds of clashing metal rang out, and Meng Lu’s angry voice could be heard.

In the other three passages, there were also loud sounds, as if the exits had been blocked.

"..."

The Great Commander’s face was extremely unsightly.

Yet Lin Yan did not seem surprised.

As soon as the adversary had uttered the words "I’ve waited a long time," he knew that they were well-prepared and would certainly block the escape routes.

"You go first, I’ll cover our retreat."

Zhao Zhou’s Great Commander, gripping his steel saber, said solemnly, "You’ve destroyed the secret door, they can’t seal it temporarily, Meng Lu is still at the exit and can cover you."

As he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yan stepping forward, quickly reached out, grabbed his sleeve, and shouted angrily.

"Young man, don’t be reckless. I know you are a prodigy even more powerful than I was in my prime!

"But his mutated half-demon body is no longer human, and although it hasn’t reached the level of the Refining Essence Realm, it has surpassed what a peak internal strength should be."

"You have a promising future, boundless potential; don’t perish here!"

Though his face showed signs of age, the Great Commander’s eyes were resolute, resembling an old lion, as he sternly said, "Although I am twilight-aged, I can still fight, confident I can hinder his steps!"

He spoke deliberately, firmly saying, "One day, avenge me!"

Before he could move forward, Lin Yan reached out, blocking him.

"Since when is it proper for an old man to sacrifice himself?"

Turning his head, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Great Commander, go and assist Colonel Meng, find reinforcements..."

Before Zhao Zhou’s Great Commander could say more, Lin Yan, already wielding his saber, advanced towards the front.

Meanwhile, the creature had already leaped down from the high level of the Sacrificial Tower.

Hairless, blood-red muscles continuously twisted.

Black saliva dripped incessantly.

"You..."

The Great Commander started to follow, but then he heard the youth’s voice from Linjiang Station coming from ahead.

"I have my own means of protection, but Meng Lu is faltering. If you don’t help him now, we’re going to lose a talented young man."

"I’ll bring back reinforcements!"

Zhao Zhou’s Great Commander clenched his teeth, turned around, and sprinted back along the path they came.

Lin Yan moved swiftly, charging forward.

Heading straight into confrontation!

As the blade glinted brightly!

This strike was sudden!

The ferocious creature’s chest burst open with blood as it flew backward into the Sacrificial Tower.

"Indeed stronger than peak internal strength, but still not up to the Refining Essence Realm."

Lin Yan thought to himself as he continued forward with his saber.

But he saw that the collapsed tower was once again emitting a roar.

BOOM!!!

The savage blood-colored creature launched itself out once more, but its size had increased by a circle!

Its body, like a giant bear, with undulating muscles, appeared even fiercer!

In its ferocious eyes, a horror-inducing bloodlust was evident.

And in its hands, it held a child who had just taken his last breath.

The bear-like monster lifted the child above its head with both hands and pulled apart the child’s body, spilling blood and viscera.

It opened its blood-filled maw, continuously swallowing, becoming more ferocious.

"..."

Lin Yan’s expression grew colder as his gaze moved past the beast and settled on the Sacrificial Tower.

Through the recently collapsed wall, he saw within, a pile of wild beast corpses.

These were the bodies of demons that had died in the attacks on High Willow City!

Normally, these would be collected by the guards of the various districts in the outer city and transported to the Liu Zun Temple where a temple priest would dispel the demonic essence and erase the resentment before consumption.

Ultimately, they would be sent to the slaughterhouses within the inner city for butchering.

The slaughterhouses in the outer city were not qualified to handle the corpses of demons.

In that instant, Lin Yan understood.

Inside the Outer South Government Office, the person responsible for cleaning up after demons had falsified the body count!

The batch of demon corpses kept back, transported here, was used for his cultivation of the Demon Transformation Technique!

But to transport the demons here, he had first to avoid detection from all parties, requiring the collusion of various powers.
