I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 91 - 89: Found the Test Subject
The streetlamp shattered, leaving the dimly lit, broken street.
Amidst the awe-stricken gazes of the warriors and residents on both sides, Jiang Hou’s black hair danced wildly as he indifferently sheathed his sword.
Of course, he reverted to his humanoid killing form to demolish this fourth-tier demon beast at the passageway, not for showing off, but for the reward points.
The assault was about to end, but most of the beasts had been consumed by him in the passage; apart from the basic task of 500 points, only slaying this Ice Lizard Demon Beast yielded 300.
The 800 points should suffice to exchange ten Demon Power Crystals and still redeem an ordinary protective extraordinary item usable by people.
Boom! Including above Jiang Hou, ten purple vortices around the old city suddenly emitted brilliant light, starting to shrink.
Instantly, silhouettes dashed out from the vortex; Shentu Ni, who smashed a demon beast, Jiang Wanshan, who gained nothing all night, and Fu Hongyu, who was heavily injured by a demon beast once.
Among the others, two came out and conveniently dropped three demon beast corpses, indicating they slew them while guarding the passage, bringing them back to settle battle achievements.
Boom! Suddenly, a tremor came from the park’s small hill direction, the hillside where that ordinary woman was collapsed, raising billows of dust.
Immediately, those who knew what was there had a slight change in expression.
Including Divine Palace Feiyue, who frowned: "The No. 01 small passage actually collapsed together."
At this moment, a middle-aged man’s voice sounded in Jiang Hou and others’ earpieces.
"Great work tonight, everyone. The assault is over; those injured in the main battle unit return to the division for treatment, others disband here and rest."
"Military warriors, please wait; law enforcement personnel will take over the stationing point soon. There’s still much follow-up work in the old city for the next two days."
"It’s finally over." A relieved smile appeared on the warriors’ faces.
The battle tonight was easy for Jiang Hou, ending quickly, but for the ordinary warriors who could be torn apart by monsters at any moment, it was very dangerous.
Even a fourth-tier expert like Fu Hongyu was severely injured, and with worse luck, something could have gone wrong.
At this time, Jiang Hou flipped his wrist, the blade tip emitting a white glow aimed at his left hand, the black-and-white brilliance on his body and the Demon Blade faded into his palm together, as if the sword had returned to its sheath. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The long, dense black hair reaching Jiang Hou’s waist receded as if it wasn’t material hair but an illusion formed by divine weapon power.
Moreover, his more three-dimensional, austere features in his killing form became somewhat softer.
However, under demonic transformation, the tips of his ear-length short hair turned red, coupled with a few red bangs on his forehead, making him appear less cold and more eerily handsome.
Vroom vroom!! The rumbling engine came from afar, only to see Duan Xuan riding that modified motorcycle, with Zong Zheng Nan Mo seated behind.
"Brother Jiang, we’re heading back first."
"Jiang Hou, I’m leaving first. Tonight was awesome, hahaha..." Zong Zheng Nan Mo laughed heartily, greeted Jiang Hou, and the two disappeared into the night.
At this time, a black Hummer stopped in front of Jiang Hou, inside, Divine Palace Feiyue, also back in ’normal’ attire, wearing a loose blue sweatshirt, smiled and said.
"Let’s go together."
"Alright." Jiang Hou didn’t stand on ceremony.
When they came, they went to different places, so their ride was different, but this time they were on the way back.
The black Hummer drove on the street, silent due to the curfew. After a brief chat upon getting in, they fell into silence, each contemplating tonight’s battle.
Jiang Hou wasn’t sure about Divine Palace Feiyue, but his harvest tonight was significant.
The giant beast’s body size swelled to 28.2 meters, and the newly broken-through humanoid strength attributes rose dramatically from over 1200 to 1590, with the greatest gain being the demonic transformation progress.
It shot up directly from thirty-two percent to eighty-one.
Once tomorrow’s task points are settled, he could exchange for Demon Power Crystals to complete the remaining demonic transformation, though uncertain of the changes it would bring.
With anticipation, Jiang Hou focused inward, noticing the Demon Essence, which was half consumed inside, was rapidly recovering, with energy sourced from Yuan Qi.
Centered around the two meridians on either side of his spine, the transparent Yuan Power kept circulating, absorbing massive energy from the surrounding air with each small cycle conversion.
Moreover, this energy absorption speed was dozens of times faster than before for Demon Essence.
Under normal circumstances, the Yuan Qi transformed from these Heaven and Earth Energy would overflow after the meridians were saturated, gradually refining and strengthening Jiang Hou’s body.
However, due to the substantial Demon Essence consumption from a prior slash, he instinctively absorbed the omnipresent energy, converting even the overflowing Yuan Power.
Is this possible! Jiang Hou was somewhat surprised.
But this was also good news, indicating that in the real world, his endurance was stronger.
It was past two in the morning, but in Yidu, with over ten million population, most people hadn’t gone to bed.
For these ordinary people, tonight’s news broadcast was the first ’close-up’ view of people turning into polluted monsters in the blink of an eye, hideously terrifying, causing many to vomit outright.
The battle between Transcendents and colossal monsters shook the entire street with their immense power.
In particular, those monsters several dozen meters in size could easily topple buildings with a mere charge, their formidable bodies impervious to conventional weapons.
If such a monster appeared in the city without an equally powerful Transcendent to stop it, it would cause massive casualties in an instant.
Moreover, due to the city’s dense population, missiles couldn’t provide adequate firepower coverage to eliminate them.
Thus, tonight’s battle was a great shock to these ordinary people, who couldn’t sleep for a long time even after the news had ended.
The gloomy and oppressive ruins.
Just as Jiang Hou and the others left, on the opposite side of the collapsed passageway No. 1, black Demonic Energy rolled over the desolate hillside, like dark clouds enveloping the sky.
Within the dark Demonic Energy stood a vaguely humanoid figure, exuding a terrifying aura, with six black tails resembling fox tails intermittently tearing through the void.
The shadowy figure paid no heed to the collapsed passage, its gaze, burning with black flames, directed toward the gradually disappearing ’world phantom’ in the sky.
In the depths of that green forest relic world, some terrifying creatures flitted by, but unfortunately, those ancient creatures were too powerful and were firmly bound.
Screech! A sharp cry exploded across the sky.
Just as that relic world was about to be pulled into the ruins, a red figure tore through the invisible barrier, scattering blood across the sky, before spreading its wings to pierce the heavens and disappear into the billowing dark clouds.
Instantly, the eyes of that black figure lit up, and the surrounding black Demonic Energy surged skyward in pursuit.
......
"Found it, I found it."
The young man who suggested killing to lure the experimental subject out during the basement meeting huddled in a narrow alley, watching the Shengong Family courtyard opposite with excitement.
In his hand was a palm-sized, gray stone feather, trembling slightly, its tip pointing towards a lit room within the courtyard.
Through the glass, a girl inside with earphones around her neck could be seen doing something at the table, while another girl sat on the floor in the distance.
The tip of the gray feather was aimed at the girl with the earphones.
"The reward, the reward is mine, haha ho ho..."
The young man’s face twisted, his laughter becoming increasingly eerie, like a stalker discovering an opportunity to strike.
Fortunately, despite beginning to show signs of losing control, the young man still knew not to alert the prey.
However, just as he took out his phone, he suddenly felt a chill behind him and instinctively turned around, only to see a man and a woman standing atop the wall.
Jiang Hou glanced at the young man and then at the courtyard across the alley, speaking slowly in a cold voice: "What are you looking for?"
"I..." The young man’s eyes darted around, just about to say something when a hand pressed down on his head.
Boom!
The brick wall collapsed, the young man’s head smashing a large hole, blood streaming down.
Jiang Hou had already noticed this person earlier ’in the sky,’ but hadn’t paid attention at the time, not expecting him to target this place, which fueled Jiang Hou’s killing intent instantly.
Just as Jiang Hou was about to break the man’s limbs and interrogate him on the spot, Divine Palace Feiyue spoke solemnly: "Junior, he should be here looking for me."
As she spoke, Divine Palace Feiyue’s gaze fell on the gray feather dropped on the ground, which began trembling even more violently with her appearance, emitting a circle of white light.
"This person is looking for our senior." Jiang Hou paused, his sharp expression slightly easing.
Divine Palace Feiyue nodded: "Yes, but this matter is somewhat complicated. I will explain it to you later when there’s time, junior."
"Leave this person to me. He likely has accomplices, and I intend to take him to the branch later, where someone can extract everything he knows."
"Okay." Jiang Hou did not refuse.
The black jeep that had brought them over hadn’t left yet, and with the severely injured young man almost in a coma, Divine Palace Feiyue got into the vehicle and left directly.
As Divine Palace Feiyue left, Jiang Hou approached the small courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Jiang Hou, you’re back, are you hurt?" Seeing the boy at the door, Qin Siyu’s exquisite and beautiful face filled with surprise.
Jiang Hou’s face softened with a gentle smile: "I’m not hurt. Tonight’s impacts were all within the official control range."
With that, Jiang Hou looked at the other girl: "Shengong Tongxue, your sister had something to deal with at the branch. She asked me to tell you not to wait for her, and to get some sleep early."
"Alright." The girl with earphones nodded obediently.
Meow~ A white kitty jumped out of Qin Siyu’s arms and rubbed against Jiang Hou’s pant leg.
