Free Web NovelChapter 1869: Chapter 1903: Demon
At this moment, the demon pattern between Nangong Bing’s hands slowly dissipated, and the complex and mysterious demon pattern at the center of her forehead also retracted.
However, when she regained consciousness, she found two bodies in front of her, severed in half, with blood water flowing to her feet.
Her face turned pale as snow. During the demonization, she was somewhat aware, but she couldn’t control her body and all her willpower.
This demonization was similar to Lin Zifeng’s Slaughter Syndrome, causing a terrifying outbreak!
"Nangong Bing, are you okay?" Lin Zifeng quickly caught up and held Nangong Bing’s hands.
Then seeing the two bodies severed on the ground, Lin Zifeng was shocked.
"All three are Sub-Saints!"
It’s important to note that having even one Sub-Saint is remarkable, yet three appeared at once. It seems like these people deliberately came for Nangong Bing. Lin Zifeng secretly speculated.
"Lin Zifeng, who are these people, and why are they looking for me?" Her face was slightly pale, but she wasn’t overly frightened. After all, in the battle at Wolong Mountain, she had seen piles of corpses.
"I don’t know. But it definitely isn’t a good thing." Lin Zifeng waved his hand, collecting their Elemental Power Seeds, all are strong individuals of the First Layer Heaven, which turned out to be a bargain for him.
Elemental Power Seeds are rare, not useful for him at the moment, but very beneficial for those in South Heavenly Gate who need them.
"Earlier, I heard them call me a Demon Cultivator, the third one in five thousand years. Do you know anything about this?" She recalled what the two had said, yet finding it difficult to grasp the full details. After all, the aftermath of demonization is irrationality. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Demon Cultivator? What Demon Cultivator?" Lin Zifeng searched his memory for any rumors about Demon Cultivators, but he had no impression.
He didn’t even understand what a Demon Cultivator meant.
"I don’t know. At that time, my will was very weak, and I can’t recall what they said initially about the Demon Cultivator. Lin Zifeng, am I really a demon?"
Nangong Bing suddenly gripped his wrist tightly, terrified. The Star Ring had altered her body functions. With her ability to autonomously control mutations growing stronger like today, she felt increasingly fearful. That intangible fear made her restless and anxious. Moreover, the more she could mutate, the greater her intent to kill, and the higher her cultivation grew with every kill!
"How could that be? My beloved, you’re overthinking. It’s not as terrifying as you imagine. Even if you are truly a demon, aren’t you still my wife, Lin Zifeng?"
In an effort to console her chaotic emotions, Lin Zifeng held her hand and tried to comfort her, not hastening to inquire about what happened just now.
Yet these people, Lin Zifeng was determined to investigate thoroughly.
At night... nothing was said all night, having a good meal outside only to encounter such an incident, leaving Nangong Bing and Lin Zifeng uneasy throughout the night.
......
The next day, Lin Zifeng arrived at the headquarters of South Heavenly Gate at dawn, recounting the events of the previous night to Zhang Mengjie, requesting Zhang Mengjie to ascertain the identities of the three individuals as soon as possible.
"Hey Lin, you look so down today, what’s up? You had a spat with your fairy-like lady friend?"
Watching Lin Zifeng draw prolonged puffs on a cigarette, the handsome fellow sat beside him, accompanying him. Although this dead dog loved to wisecrack, it was immensely loyal, staying by his side unwaveringly.
"Get lost, go chill somewhere else." Lin Zifeng just ignored it, feeling impatient.
"Damn! Grappler, I kindly care about you, but you just don’t appreciate it, damn!" The handsome fellow cursed irritably.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Zifeng suddenly called out to it, remembering something.
"What? You told me to go chill somewhere, so I’ll go somewhere else."
"Come on, wasn’t I just joking with you earlier? No need to take it so seriously." Lin Zifeng rolled his eyes, thinking of something. The handsome fellow might know.
"Dead dog, let me ask you. Do you know any rumors about Demon Cultivators?"
"Demon Cultivators? Why are you asking that?" The handsome fellow glanced around, licking its mouth. It actually knew many things but rarely spoke of them with Lin Zifeng.
"I want to know what exactly Demon Cultivators are. You should know a bit about it, right?" Lin Zifeng grinned broadly, offering it a cigarette, "Here, this one’s not bad, have a smoke."
"No, no, no, I quit this habit. Not interested in it anymore. Kid, you raise your behind, and I know what nonsense you’re about. Speak, what’s on your mind?"
"Hehe, you know me too well, Demon Dog!" Lin Zifeng’s expression changed, smiling slyly, "I just want to ask how much you know about Demon Cultivators?"
"Demon Cultivators? Damn, that’s stuff from thousands of years ago. Why talking about Demon Cultivators now."
The handsome fellow rolled its eyes, thinking it was extremely dull. But then, it seemed to remember something.
"Kid, you might have discovered something, huh?"
"Hehe, dead dog, since you know, why not share it with me."
"That’s stuff from thousands of years ago. Even if I tell you, will you understand? You’ll still be at a loss." The handsome fellow shrugged. Although it had lived for some years, knew a lot, it absolutely wouldn’t share everything.
"Alright, alright, don’t look at me with that expression. I’ll tell you. Huaxia has seen only two astounding Demon Cultivators in five thousand years, calling them Demon Cultivators is a misnomer, they’re all demons."
"Demons? What are demons? What is a demon?" Lin Zifeng’s neck shrank, hearing another new term. If demons existed in movies and novels, he could accept that, as demons in movies and novels signify evil, but he still wanted clarity on what Nangong Bing mentioned last night and during her demonization, which was notably different.
Hence, upon hearing talk of Demon Cultivators, Lin Zifeng immediately thought of Nangong Bing’s current situation. Plus, his father’s transformation into a Holy War demon nature, he wondered if there was a connection.
"Damn! Stop interrupting, okay? I’m reminiscing here." The handsome fellow scowled at him, then sunk into memory, saying: "Actually, over the last five thousand years, precisely, there have been three Demon Cultivators with heaven-defying cultivation. The first generation was called ’Human Demon.’ Apparently, it was the Swallowing Heavenly Demon Technique that drove him into demonhood. The second heaven-defying Demon Cultivator emerged about three thousand years ago, known as ’Mad Demon,’ known for its bloodlust, killing anyone encountered. The more people a demon killed, the stronger its demon nature became, enhancing its cultivation and combat power. This is a long-standing Huaxia rumor: Encounter a Demon Cultivator, kill them without fail, or chaos will reign on Earth!"
"Demon Cultivators elevate their cultivation through endless slaughter, gaining power from it?" Lin Zifeng’s mouth suddenly twitched. If true, everyone would detest demons since Demon Cultivators increase their cultivation by killing. And recently, the Empress’s cultivation seems to have increased. After the battle at Wolong Mountain, she appears to have grown stronger, able to control her demonic abilities independently.
This caught Lin Zifeng off guard.
