"When did these two appear here? And set up camp without anyone noticing!"
Both Iwatan and Chu Ruoxuan felt a shock.
Dao Yuanming, not yet finished with his roasted chicken wings, secretly reached for the wild chicken Mu Qingqing was roasting.
*Snap!*
Mu Qingyan slapped Dao Yuanming's hand away.
"Dean, you want to steal food again!"
"You little girl, I personally brought you to Mingguang City. What's wrong with eating a little?"
Dao Yuanming looked wronged, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Qingqing's fragrant roasted wild chicken.
"What little girl? Isn't that young man a boy?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Chu Ruoxuan and Iwatan looked at Dao Yuanming and Mu Qingqing in confusion.
Their gazes made Dao Yuanming uncomfortable, so he waved his hand like he was shooing away flies and said, "What are you looking at? The more you look, the less I'll share my chicken wings with you. Get lost."
Seeing Mu Qingqing, who was an inconspicuous one-star king, and Dao Yuanming, who couldn't sense any true essence,
Iwatan immediately took notice of the two.
He could use these nobodies as hostages to threaten Chu Ruoxuan into letting him go.
Thus, Iwatan reacted first, shooting towards Dao Yuanming. A grin spread across his face, and he sneered, "Old man, if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for appearing here."
"Not good!"
Chu Ruoxuan also saw through Iwatan's intentions and immediately prepared to stop him.
However, from Dao Yuanming and Mu Qingqing's perspective, the two suddenly sprinted towards them at a hundred-meter dash.
The one in front was acting strangely, grinning so perversely.
Mu Qingqing, as if she hadn't seen them, took a bite of the fragrant roasted chicken wing and said with satisfaction, "This tastes really good!"
"Little girl, save some for me."
Dao Yuanming didn't even look at the charging Iwatan, casually slapping him across the face.
*Slap!*
Before Iwatan could react, he was sent flying in a parabolic trajectory, spinning in mid-air for tens of meters before landing heavily on the ground, face first.
"You...!"
Before Iwatan could finish his shocked exclamation, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the spot.
Witnessing this shocking scene, Chu Ruoxuan, who had been rushing to stop Iwatan, stopped in surprise.
At the same time, he noticed the handsome young man beside Dao Yuanming calmly roasting the wild chicken, as if it were an everyday occurrence.
A master!
This old man is definitely a powerful being!
Chu Ruoxuan exclaimed inwardly.
He then quickly cupped his hands and bowed, "Mingguang City, Chu Ruoxuan, many thanks for your righteous intervention, senior..."
Before he could finish, Chu Ruoxuan's heart suddenly ached, and his blood boiled like water, surging wildly within him.
Filament-like black energy seeped out from his pores, and a sinister, cold aura instantly filled the entire Misty Forest.
"How is this possible? I clearly controlled my emotions, yet why did this fellow still riot?!"
Chu Ruoxuan panted, his forehead covered in sweat, one eye now completely covered by black energy.
Then, his eye turned a strange violet, and his entire body exuded a dense demonic aura.
Mu Qingqing and Dao Yuanming were drawn by his sudden transformation and quickly stood up.
Such a strong, ferocious demonic power – could this young man be from the Underworld God race? This made them take him seriously.
Seeing that he was about to lose control of the surging underworld energy within him, Chu Ruoxuan quickly warned Mu Qingqing and Dao Yuanming in a trembling voice, "Quick... run!"
"What do you mean?"
Mu Qingqing and Dao Yuanming didn't understand why he told them to leave.
But in the next moment, dense underworld energy transformed into a black pillar that shot up into the sky.
A Buddha ten meters tall appeared behind Chu Ruoxuan. However, this Buddha did not radiate divine light like a true Buddha.
It was entirely violet, with bulging muscles, and a string of skulls hung around its neck.
Its face was that of a Buddha, yet it had demonic fangs. Its clasped hands did not convey any sense of Buddhahood but rather immense demonic power.
Upon seeing this Demonic Buddha, Han Lao's eyes were filled with shock. He transmitted a message to Mu Qingqing: "This is a Ferocious Demonic Buddha! That young man is actually a Demonic Person Weapon!"
A Demonic Person Weapon!
Mu Qingqing had read the original work and knew what this thing was.
Demonic Person Weapons were biological weapons specially created by the ancient Underworld God race to deal with the beings of the Eternal Continent.
They infused demonic souls into the bodies of beings from the Eternal Continent, driving them mad, eventually seizing their bodies, and transforming them into emotionless puppets enslaved by slaughter.
Dao Yuanming also recognized this Demonic Buddha and then looked at Chu Ruoxuan, puzzled, "How can a Demonic Person Weapon appear here? Who exactly is this kid?!"
"Dean, stop asking so many questions. Let's deal with that strange demonic entity behind him first."
Before Mu Qingqing could finish speaking, the Demonic Buddha opened its eyes and looked at her and Dao Yuanming with murderous intent.
With a palm strike that crushed everything, it descended.
Mu Qingqing remained calm. The Xuan Yang Sword flew out from her spatial ring, and the Undying Phoenix Flame coiled around it.
After a strike of the Red Lotus Phoenix Sword, the palm of immense demonic power...
dissipated with a roar.
But strangely, the Demonic Buddha, having lost its hand, regenerated it after a wriggle of black energy.
Meanwhile, Chu Ruoxuan, who had lost consciousness on the ground, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face becoming even paler.
Mu Qingqing sensed something was wrong and used her Star Wheel Eyes to observe Chu Ruoxuan's condition.
She discovered that his true essence and soul power were connected to that Demonic Buddha.
In other words, if the Demonic Buddha were killed, Chu Ruoxuan would die with it.
Mu Qingqing's previous strike seemed to have angered the Demonic Buddha. It let out a sky-shattering roar, and the surrounding trees were all reduced to dust.
Then, a deep abyss vortex appeared behind the Demonic Buddha, and a terrifying suction force madly drew in the spiritual energy within a radius of five thousand meters.
The Demonic Buddha's power also gradually increased.
One-star Celestial Venerable, two-star Celestial Venerable, three-star Celestial Venerable...
Finally, it even reached the peak of the Half-step Saint Emperor realm.
Although the Demonic Buddha's power had greatly increased, Chu Ruoxuan, who was connected to it, could not withstand such immense power.
Cracks had already appeared on his body's surface. If the Demonic Buddha continued to grow stronger, Chu Ruoxuan might die on the spot.
Mu Qingqing, seeing the Demonic Buddha still absorbing spiritual energy, immediately turned to Dao Yuanming and shouted, "Dean, stop slacking! Quickly seal the surrounding space!"
Dao Yuanming also knew that they couldn't let the Demonic Buddha continue to absorb energy. He waved his hand, and a powerful spatial force sealed the space within a five-thousand-meter radius.
It then expelled the spiritual energy, preventing the Demonic Buddha from taking advantage.
The Ferocious Demonic Buddha's power finally stopped increasing, settling at the peak of the Half-step Saint Emperor realm.
