With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 78: The Demon Seed Shatters, Human Demon’s Army
Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Demon Seed Shatters, Human Demon’s Army
Fang Jianxing was caught off guard as the Thunder Dragon bound him. He tried to break free, only to find his body gradually becoming numb.
"Damn it, I’ve been exposed."
"It must have been something wrong at Meng Chuan’s place last night. How dare that wretch play me!"
He immediately began trying to escape, the Demon Seed within him operating frantically, as a purple mist emerged from the exterior of his body.
Seeing this, Long Jiu’s expression darkened. The mole in the police force was really him, the Director of the Celestial Net Department!
Recalling the words Luo Guanyun had told him, he felt a bit of respect for Meng Chuan.
"Skilled in both literature and martial arts, truly a great candidate for a police officer."
The seemingly thick purple mist was as easily torn apart as paper under the raging Thunder True Qi.
The Thunder Dragon roamed around his body, emitting crackling electric charges, countless arcs of lightning erupted, enveloping Fang Jianxing within.
Fang Jianxing’s white coat was in tatters from the electric strikes, and he thought to himself:
"The Thunder Seed is indeed powerful, better to leave first."
Fang Jianxing quickly sensed in his heart.
In an instant, that bizarre black vortex reappeared beside him.
The edges of the vortex shimmered with strange light, continuously spinning and expanding, emitting a powerful suction force.
He then suddenly activated the Demon Seed on his spiritual platform, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a phantom replaced him in being bound in place.
Once his true form broke free, he exerted himself and leaped towards the vortex.
His body was mostly swallowed into the vortex, leaving only his upper body visible, with a faint smile on his face.
Luo Guanyun’s eyes flashed with golden light, immediately noticing something wrong.
"You brat, trying to run without asking me?"
The Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill, as a top-tier True Skill, possesses multiple magical effects.
Right now, his pair of Eye of Truth had already seen through the opponent’s attempt at shedding the shell.
In a flash, lightning surged around Luo Guanyun, taking a step, causing a burst of airwaves, instantly appearing in front of the vortex.
His right hand filled with thunder pulp, slammed heavily onto the vortex.
The vortex trembled violently, its originally stable node completely disrupted by the Thunder True Qi, and the strange light on the edge began flickering erratically.
After just a brief stalemate, the vortex couldn’t withstand the immense force, shattering explosively, dispersing into countless black star points into the air.
Fang Jianxing’s figure was also fully exposed as the vortex shattered, his smile frozen on his face.
Before he could respond, Long Jiu swiftly appeared beside him.
After charging with his right hand, his arm, with countless black bristles twisting and morphing into a beast-like form, gathered momentum like a spear point, smashed directly towards Fang Jianxing’s chest with immense strength.
——Ape King Demon-Slaying Spear!
"Ugh!"
Fang Jianxing spewed a mouthful of blood in mid-air, his body was firmly imprinted onto the ground, creating a large pit dozens of meters wide, with dust flying all around.
"Damn it, I can’t die here!"
Fang Jianxing resisted the intense pain throughout his body, tremblingly exerted all his strength, and pressed his right hand hard on the middle of his chest.
A mysterious light dot on his chest was flickering weakly, then with a "crack", the Seed of Enchantment shattered.
In an instant, compared to before, an intensely thicker purple mist gushed out from his body, enveloping him in the blink of an eye.
Among the fog came the horrifying sounds of dislocated bones and torn muscles.
Seeing this, Long Jiu and Luo Guanyun’s expressions changed drastically.
"Parasite Association? Not good, he’s going to escape!"
Long Jiu immediately reacted, and once again thrust the ape spear towards the pit.
The violent force smashed the pit, cracking it. When the purple mist dissipated, Fang Jianxing was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a complete human skin spread flat at the bottom of the pit.
Luo Guanyun frowned, having fought many Demon Path martial artists, though their skills weren’t great, their escape abilities were incredibly sly.
He had seen through illusions, blood escape skills, and the like, but shedding his skin was a first.
Beside him, Long Jiu jumped into the pit, touching the skin with his hand and spoke slowly:
"I’ve seen related information in the bureau, it’s a method of a new Demon Path force from neighboring countries, the [Parasite Association], didn’t expect they’d come to our side."
Luo Guanyun’s gaze turned cold, he said faintly:
"Can you still find him?"
Fang Jianxing escaping was always a hidden threat to himself and his disciple.
Long Jiu leaped out of the pit, his expression unsightly:
"Not a trace of Qi left, fear he cannot be caught."
Upon hearing, Luo Guanyun cursed inwardly:
"These Demon brats aren’t skilled, each as cunning as a fox, with endless methods of escape."
Long Jiu said:
"Let’s go, Old Luo, Fang Jianxing is severely injured, surely won’t reappear in the short term, we’ll handle the aftermath."
...
Yong’an City, Martial Arts Association Reward Hall.
The Reward Hall was set up in cooperation with the local police station, specifically assisting in the capture of Celestial Demons, Demon Path martial artists, and other related affairs.
Upon entering, one could see the large display screen on the wall, with Celestial Demons on the right and Demon Path martial artists on the left.
At the top left hung a Demon Path martial artist with a truly frightening scarred face.
The Fourth Major Limit Grandmaster, [Blood-Drinking Demon Sword·Li Xiao].
[For providing valid leads, a reward between 10 million to 50 million yuan.]
[For capture or kill, a reward of 800 million yuan.]
Li Xiao had been at the top for six years, having secretly joined the Demon Path organization [Demon Summoning Hall] during his university years, becoming one of its founders.
Six years ago, he, together with other members of the Demon Summoning Hall, awakened a great demon comparable to a Martial Arts Celestial King on the eve of the New Year, creating the nationally shocking "2.7" Celestial Demon City Slaughtering Incident.
After the incident, this person vanished without a trace.
Most of his accomplices were captured and brought to justice within these six years.
Currently, only a few high-level individuals, including Li Xiao, remain at large.
Looking further down, the second position was still held by a characterless terrorist, who had been on the list for five years, originating from one of the most mysterious Demon Path organizations, [Outer Heaven].
But the third position had changed; it was no longer the infamous Director of [Black Water Company].
Instead, it depicted a young man with a gentle smile, wearing a white lab coat, with his hands crossed in front of his chest.
This was the person responsible for the Tong Family Lane massacre, the master of [Human Demon]——Fang Jianxing.
...
10:30 AM.
Police Quarters, Top Floor.
Meng Chuan had been sleepless all night, now dressed in loose home attire, his forehead beaded with sweat, which trickled down his cheeks, dripping onto the floor tiles beneath him.
His gaze was as determined as ever, the gust of his fists stirred up windsveeping gales.
"Whether or not Fang Jianxing can be caught, enhancing my strength remains the primary task."
"I’m still... too weak."
As time slowly passed, Meng Chuan had already informed the school about taking a leave of absence today.
Perhaps he would have to move this morning, he was still waiting for news from Master Luo’s side.
Just then, the phone beside him started ringing.
Meng Chuan stopped moving, picked up the phone, and answered the call.
[The man in the top hat last night was indeed Fang Jianxing, but unfortunately, he slipped away.]
[There’s no need to worry now though, I and Long Jiu severely injured him, he won’t be able to recover in three or five years, and he used some technique that required a big sacrifice while escaping, he also needs time to recover now.]
This news brought Meng Chuan a moment of relief indeed, but the anxiety soon surged back into his heart.
"Even if I can’t catch Fang Jianxing later, improving my strength is definitely my top priority. Now I can at least move my family, I’m still waiting for Master Luo’s news."
A sense of relief indeed, given his current ability, resisting such a threat wasn’t feasible, having Master Luo’s protection was surely much safer.
Right now, the phone beside him rang.
Meng Chuan abruptly stopped what he was doing, picked up the phone, and answered it.
