Chapter 426: Demon
As Ye Xiao was walking, he suddenly felt something and looked at Yuan Liao then frowned. After some time, a smile appeared on Ye Xiao"s face as he said, "Town Head, how about you stop pretending now?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Liao looked at Ye Xiao in confusion and asked.
"You are from the demon race, right?" Ye Xiao again said.
Yuan Liao paused for a moment when he heard Ye Xiao, but soon, he said with a terrified expression, "Are you kidding me? How can I be from the demon race?"
His face was full of fear and trepidation. If Ye Xiao didn"t have noticed the demonic aura from Yuan Liao"s body, he would really think that he had misunderstood him.
His fourth dragon was World Exterminating Demon Dragon and its aura was overwhelming. Ye Xiao had closely felt its aura and was very familiar with a demon"s aura.
Although Yuan Liao concealed himself very well, he was still unable to conceal himself from Ye Xiao"s Divine Sense.
Just now, Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense and covered the entire Green Mulberry Town to see if there was any demon but to his surprise, he felt the demonic aura"s fluctuation from Yuan Liao"s body.
Although it was very tiny, to the extreme where Ye Xiao could not feel this fluctuation normally, but because of his Divine Sense, he was able to catch this tiny fluctuation of demonic aura and immediately realized that Yuan Liao was actually a demon.
"Stop pretending now." Ye Xiao"s expression was cold as he looked at Yuan Liao.
"I really am not from the demon race." Yuan Liao bent his knees and fell to his knees. He tried his best to prove to Ye Xiao that he was not a demon.
"It seems like you won"t admit it. It"s ok, I"ll deal with you!" Suddenly, a fierce aura burst out from Ye Xiao"s body.
The moment Ye Xiao"s aura burst out from his body, the fear on Yuan Liao"s face disappeared without a trace, as if he was a completely different person. A deep smile and a creepy deceit appeared in his eyes as he said, "You are quite capable. I have tried my best to conceal my demonic energy but you were able to find out my ident.i.ty very easily. Even a Late-Stage Immortal King Realm martial artist would not be able to discover my secret. You can actually see through my secrets with just a single glance. You are truly amazing. Have you ever heard that those who know more of the truth usually die faster?"
In the next moment, scarlet demonic energy burst out from the body of Yuan Liao, and his cultivation base skyrocket from Early Stage Immortal Lord Realm to Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm.
Suddenly, a demonic cloud the size of half an acre formed in midair. A chilly wind blew, and sand and stones flew everywhere!
In an instant, fear swept across the entire Green Mulberry Town like a plague. Everyone immediately shut their doors in fear.
Yuan Liao"s entire body had undergone a tremendous change, except for his human form. The Chain Armor he was wearing had already disappeared. In its place was a blood-red armor that reflected cold lights. His head was full of bulging snake-like tendons that kept bouncing. It made a popping sound that made people"s hair stand on end.
The fangs extended out from his mouth. They were as sharp as knives and could easily pierce through a human"s skull. His long tongue pulled down and was continuously moving. His arms were very long. The muscles on his arms were bulging. His nails were like sharp daggers and were in the shape of a frog"s leg. One could imagine his terrifying jumping ability.
A brutal, b.l.o.o.d.y, and sinister aura instantly filled the surroundings, making people"s hearts tighten.
It was known that the demon race was much more ferocious and sinister than Immortal Beast. Those martial artists who were slightly less brave might feel their legs go weak when they sense the brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y aura on a demon"s body. Not to mention fighting, they wouldn"t even be able to escape with their lives.
Although Ye Xiao saw a demon for the first time, he was very calm. Since he has the strength to deal with this demon, why would he be scared of a demon just because of a transformation?
"I killed that Yuan Liao and pretended to be him for almost one year. I was preparing for a bloodbath in Green Mulberry Town but someone noticed my movement and reported it to Dragon Immortal Sect. Now, you disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect came to kill us demons. Do you really think you can kill us just because you want to, what a fool?"
Ye Xiao listened to the demon and his face turned cold. He guessed something and anger appeared on his face. He asked, "What about those disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect who came before me? What did you do to them?"
That demon looked at Ye Xiao and laughed, "Hehehe, those ten ants, they are still fighting against my demon race"s ordinary demons a few kilometers away from here. They have no idea that they are already surrounded by us, demons. We can kill them at any time but we are using them to lure more disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect. After all, we need a large amount of human blood. The more powerful a martial artist is, the better it would be!"
Ye Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Yue Ying and others were still alive. Now, he can calmly deal with this demon in front of him before going to save Yue Ying and the other nine disciples of the Dragon Immortal Sect. He also had to warn them and make them inform the Dragon Immortal Sect not to send any reinforcement!
A powerful aura burst out from Ye Xiao"s body.
That demon thought that Ye Xiao was about to attack him but to his surprise, Ye Xiao only waved his hand, and then he retracted his aura back in his body.
At first, that demon was surprised and could not understand but after a few breaths of time, he felt something was wrong with his body. For some reason, he could not feel a few parts of his body.
In confusion, he lowered his head and was scared s.h.i.tless. He saw that his body was slowly melting. One of his arms had already melted and his abdomen and thigh had also started melting slowly.
Ye Xiao noticed that blood was overflowing in the demon"s body so he used the ability of the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon to turn the demon"s blood into extremely terrifying poisonous blood.
The poisonous blood immediately took effect and started melting the body of the demon from inside.
The most terrifying thing about this poison was that one could not even feel what was wrong with one"s body. One could not even feel any pain.
If the demon had not tried to move his body, he would not have noticed that his body was slowly melting.
"No!" That demon was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He suddenly shouted out loud, "Lord Bahua, save me!"
The moment that demon shouted out, a terrifying demonic energy suddenly shot up into the sky from a few thousand meters away from where Ye Xiao was. In an instant, that demonic energy had covered an area of several thousand meters.
Strands of demonic energies that were as heavy as mountains were swimming in the void. It tore open the s.p.a.ce and arrived in front of Ye Xiao.
In an instant, Ye Xiao felt as if there was a huge mountain weighing down on his body, causing him to resist the pressure.
A black light streaked across the sky and another demon that had been pressing down on Ye Xiao revealed its face in front of him.
It was a huge demon that was a full three meters tall. There was a pair of black horns on the top of his head and his skin was also black. Thick tendons rolled and wriggled under his skin, making the sound of raging waves. .h.i.tting the sh.o.r.e.
His body was also covered in spikes. Every spike was flashing with red lightning. A thick tail that was three meters long was wiggling behind the demon"s back. The demon was swinging his tail back and forth.
His entire body was filled with bloodthirsty aura.
"Trash!" That demon looked at the demon who was pretending as Town Head Yuan Liao and asked for help. Looking at this current condition where more than half of the body had already melted, the demon called Lord Bahua snorted and pointed his finger towards him.
"Shua"
A ray of light flashed and pierced into the head of the demon without any warning. That demon died on the spot, but his body continued to melt and soon only the blood of the demon remain on the ground.
