Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 54: Scaling the Wall, the Celestial Demon’s Shocking Appearance Outside the Window (Part 2)
A human face suddenly appearing outside a seventeenth-floor window was something straight out of a horror movie.
Even someone as ruthless as the woman in the qipao was so terrified by this scene that her scalp went numb.
However, before she could even cry out, the figure outside had already slammed a palm into the center of the window.
BANG!!
The entire metal window frame buckled instantly and was sent flying by the immense force. It shot into the conference room like a cannonball, sending several guards with their backs to the window flying. The room was instantly plunged into chaos.
The tall figure seized the opening and vaulted through the hole in the wall.
"It’s you?!"
As he got a clear look at the intruder’s face, Mr. Guo’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, and an expression of utter shock washed over him.
He recognized Yi Beidou, of course. He just never imagined he would show up here, at this very moment.
The incident in Spring City had only happened a day ago. Did that mean this man had rushed here without stopping, immediately after the attack?!
What kind of madman was this?!
"You send men to kill me, so I will wipe out your division as a warning."
Yi Beidou’s voice was like a Demon Sound, like muffled thunder, booming and reverberating throughout the conference room.
At that moment, even the representatives from the five major powers who didn’t recognize Yi Beidou instantly understood who this was. They were so shocked their faces began to twitch.
Wasn’t the Pioneer Group’s target still in Spring City just a day ago?
They had only just received the news from Donghua, yet he was already standing right in front of them?
Was this person a man or a ghost?!
A tidal wave of Evil Qi and killing intent swept over everything, making the air in the conference room seem to freeze. For a moment, the dozen or so armed guards in the room were paralyzed, unable to even react.
"Coming here alone? It seems you’re walking right into a trap!"
Mr. Guo bellowed, a fiery light bursting from his eyes as he unleashed his scorching True Intent.
BOOM!!
It was as if the air itself had burst into a raging inferno, pushing back against the ice-cold killing intent.
Nanli Firebird Fist!
Not all Super Warriors are created equal.
The first type are ordinary Warriors who undergo physical modification. Their minds struggle to control their new bodies, forcing them to rely on various suppressants and aids. Once they enter a combat state, they essentially go berserk.
The second type is like Shen Song—an expert who had already mastered Majestic Spirit Capturing Soul. After becoming a Super Warrior, they can maintain a degree of rational thought.
The final type is someone like Mr. Guo, known as a "perfect" Super Warrior.
Beings like him typically already possess a Spiritual Realm on the verge of Ascension. After the modification, their physical body nourishes their spirit, elevating their Spiritual Realm even further. They can control their Saintly Body with near perfection and can even manifest the influence of True Intent, making them beings who are infinitely close to true Body Ascension.
This was why Mr. Guo had become the Pioneer Group’s director for the Nanyang region, allowing him to oversee the entire area.
For this reason, Mr. Guo wasn’t afraid of Yi Beidou.
Besides, this was his home turf!
This building housed many weapons and pieces of equipment specifically designed to deal with Body Ascension experts. Once reinforcements arrived, there would be no escape for Yi Beidou!
Yi Beidou moved, charging straight for Mr. Guo.
Buffered by the clash of Mr. Guo’s True Intent, the people from the other five major powers snapped out of their stupor. But with two titans like these clashing in such a confined space, they didn’t dare open fire and risk getting caught in the crossfire. They immediately covered their heads and scrambled for the conference room door.
’Once we get out the door,’ they thought, ’we’ll have our men riddle the room with gunfire! We don’t care who or what he is!’
BOOM!!
Yi Beidou completely ignored the fleeing vermin, his killing intent locked squarely on Mr. Guo.
His muscles bulged. Where his gaze fell, it was as if lightning flashed through the room. His heart pounded like muffled thunder, and his blood surged like a torrential river. His furious hair seemed to fly up toward the ceiling.
His Physical Ability, Qi and blood, and Demon Nature were all pushed to their absolute limits.
He hadn’t come here to discuss Martial Arts. He had come to kill.
And killing required no finesse, only speed and brutality.
Therefore, he attacked with his full power from the very first move.
The surging killing intent condensed in his palm. To Mr. Guo’s senses, it seemed to grow larger and larger until it blotted out the sky.
Destruction Technique!
’This man before me may be called "perfect," but he’s still the product of an Evil Technique!’
’Body Ascension, the Life and Death Mysterious Gate... How could they be broken through so easily?’
’To use the body to drag the spirit upward without first attaining a sacred understanding is to skip the most crucial step. The spirit can never become the true master of the body.’
’Even if they can control a Saintly Body with near-perfection and come infinitely close to a true Body Ascension expert, their path forward has been severed. There is no longer any possibility of progress.’
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!!
Mr. Guo’s hands formed into claws as his skin flushed crimson. He threw a series of continuous punches that seemed to slash streaks of red light through the air.
His fists were no longer just Firebirds; they had mutated. They were guns, cannons, missiles. He had lost the grand aspiration this Fist Technique originally pursued—a Firebird transforming into a Phoenix.
’Once, he must have believed in his own fists,’ Yi Beidou thought. ’But from the moment he accepted the physical modification, he stopped believing in himself and started relying on an external power. Fundamentally, he’s no different from those Warriors who use advanced equipment.’
’The only difference is that their equipment is made of steel, while his is made of flesh.’
’If the heart isn’t pure, how can the will be strong enough to shake the heavens?’
Before leaving the country, Yi Beidou’s battle with Yue Ming had tempered his killing intent. Now, the power of his Destruction Killing Tribulation was on full display.
Under the pressure of that killing intent, even Yue Ming’s will had faltered, his pores sealing and his Dharma Body revealing a flaw that put him at a disadvantage with a single palm strike. What chance did someone with an impure Heart Intent stand?
As the palm descended, Mr. Guo’s overwhelming barrage of fist-shadows froze for a split second. It was only an instant, but it was a fatal opening.
By the time he reacted, it was too late to stop Yi Beidou’s Palm Technique. In his haste, all he could do was throw his arms up to block.
BOOM!!
A terrifying force crashed down, and Mr. Guo was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the wall.
The wall shuddered. Mr. Guo felt his entire body go numb as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
’How is this possible?!’
’With just one strike?!’
Mr. Guo’s eyes filled with utter disbelief.
Meanwhile, only half of the people from the five major powers had made it out the door. Seeing what had happened, they were terrified out of their wits. Without waiting for the others, one of them immediately shouted, "Block the door! Fire!"
Five armed guards reacted instantly, blocking the doorway. Recklessly, with no regard for their comrades still inside, they pulled their triggers and opened fire in the direction of Yi Beidou and Mr. Guo.
Muzzle flashes erupted.
Before Mr. Guo could even catch his breath, he felt a large hand clamp around his neck, lifting him and dragging him toward the door. An instant later, he felt a searing pain in his back as bullets tore his skin and flesh to shreds.
One had to admit, a Saintly Body made for an excellent shield. The bullets couldn’t penetrate Mr. Guo’s body at all. Under the cover of his "meat shield," Yi Beidou didn’t even get a scratch on his clothes.
Carrying Mr. Guo’s body, he slammed into the doorway in the blink of an eye.
CRASH!!
The five gunmen blocking the door and firing were hit head-on. Their bodies exploded into a mist of blood and gore, instantly neutralized.
Yi Beidou’s momentum didn’t falter. After bursting out of the conference room, he continued pressing Mr. Guo’s body forward, smashing him straight into the hallway wall.
BOOM!!
The entire hallway seemed to shake as if from an earthquake. Mr. Guo suffered another devastating blow, and his entire chest caved in.
