39: Horrible body, crazy improvement

Although the five individuals each possessed considerable strength, they were still at a disadvantage against Luo Xiu and the strange Demon Flame he unleashed. They knew that facing him alone was impossible.

Thus, with tacit understanding, they quickly dispersed, surrounding Luo Xiu in the center, forming an encirclement.

Their gazes were solemn, and they stared intently at Luo Xiu, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

However, Luo Xiu seemed completely unconcerned by their encirclement.

This was because the five not only had to deal with Luo Xiu but also be wary of sneak attacks from others. Naturally, he didn't take seriously people fighting in a way that prevented them from giving their all.

A hint of mockery flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes. The black flames around his body instantly boiled, as if countless black snakes were swimming within them.

Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression wash over them, as if the surrounding air had become heavy.

Just then, the Demon Flame around Luo Xiu's body erupted violently, instantly transforming into a massive demonic shadow.

This demonic shadow was several zhang tall, wreathed in black energy, and its face was hideous and terrifying.

Its hands were pressed together in front of its chest, and a powerful suction force emanated from its palms.

"Slaughter of Demon Flame!"

Everyone felt a tremendous force pulling them towards that black hole, as if it were about to swallow them.

The five were greatly shocked. They knew they absolutely could not let Luo Xiu continue.

The slightest carelessness would lead to being swallowed by the black hole, very likely resulting in death, and they might even become nourishment for the opponent afterward.

Therefore, the five did not hesitate and simultaneously struck, each unleashing their most powerful attack methods.

As elites of the Beast God Sect, Sun Hao and the other two naturally possessed extraordinary attack methods.

Their figures changed dramatically, and the Aura on their bodies became even more violent.

Following several roars that were neither human nor beast, three savage and rampant Auras surged directly towards Luo Xiu.

And the two leading teachers were not to be outdone. The weapons in their hands gleamed with cold light, and each slash of the saber and swing of the sword carried a fierce momentum.

However, Luo Xiu's eyes still flickered with a mocking light, and the Demon Flame around his body boiled once more.

"Hahahaha, come at me even harder!"

This time, the demonic shadow formed by the Demon Flame was even larger and more terrifying.

It opened its gaping maw, and an even more powerful suction force emanated from its mouth, directly devouring the attacks of the five.

The five were greatly alarmed. Their attacks had no effect on the demonic entity!

Even a Martial General expert would not be able to block their combined attacks so easily, let alone absorb them.

While they were stunned, Luo Xiu seized the opportunity, pushed his hands violently, and the massive black hole instantly expanded several times, completely enveloping the five.

The five only felt a tremendous suction force pulling them, and in an instant, the spiritual energy within their bodies rapidly drained away.

No matter how they struggled, it was useless, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

Zhang Kai and Blood Wolf, who were already fighting in the sky in the distance, also noticed the commotion below. The two immediately pulled apart.

After seeing the situation out of the corner of their eyes, both were startled. This mysterious man was unexpectedly so strong.

Not only was he fighting outnumbered, but he was also fighting across several realms.

After exchanging glances, they could both see the shock in each other's eyes, but they were also more certain that this was not one of their opponents.

"Could it be that other forces are trying to reap the benefits?"

Both of them simultaneously had this thought, but no matter how anxious they were, the person in front of them would not give the other side a chance to act.

However, after Blood Wolf saw the Beast God Sect members in the distance who had already been burned to ashes, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Blood Moon Wolf Fang!"

Blood Wolf suddenly erupted and attacked Luo Xiu below. Three crescent-shaped claw marks tore through the air.

Zhang Kai seized this opportunity and instantly attacked Blood Wolf. The two began fighting again.

Below, feeling this attack, Luo Xiu sensed a strong feeling of danger.

But those three attacks were extremely fast, and he had no time to dodge. A look of determination flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes, but even more prominent was excitement.

"A Martial General? Excellent!"

Before his words fell, Blood Wolf's attack had already landed.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion blasted the five individuals away. After falling to the ground, they ignored their injuries and all stared intently at the center of the explosion.

"This time, that guy should be dead, right?"

"Definitely, that was a Martial General expert's attack!"

Although they said this, they all stared intently at the center of the explosion, seemingly wanting to confirm their guesses.

As the thick smoke gradually dispersed, only half a body slowly stood up from the dust. Immediately, tens of thousands of blood-colored threads connected at the two severed points, and in just a few breaths, the wound recovered as before.

"How is that possible!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

They also felt a faint but extremely powerful Aura awakening. Before they could react, a black figure suddenly shot out.

"You all seem very disappointed?"

Luo Xiu, in his demonic state, appeared clearly in their sight. However, the Aura on his body was somewhat chaotic, clearly indicating he had paid a considerable price.

"What kind of monster are you exactly?"

Sun Hao couldn't help but stare blankly at Luo Xiu, who looked even less human than him. Knowing they couldn't escape, everyone else also looked over.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Luo Xiu actually revealed eyes filled with fanaticism and reverence. "I, Luo Xiu, the future Demon King, but even more so, the god's most perfect and strongest creation!

You all will become the nourishment for me to grow stronger, hahahaha!"

With a raise of his hand, five streams of Demon Flame accurately landed on the five individuals. As time passed, the essence blood and power within their bodies were completely absorbed by it.

When the Demon Flame returned to the demonic entity's body, his injuries recovered at an extreme speed, and his Aura was also continuously rising.

Martial Master Sixth Layer...

Martial Master Seventh Layer...

Martial Master Eighth Layer...

Martial Master Ninth Layer...

He continued until he reached the Peak of the Martial Master Realm before slowly stopping. The black flames on his body changed at this moment.

They actually began to converge and attach to the bone armor on Luo Xiu's body, and that bone armor also underwent some strange changes.

Before long, a more imposing purplish-black armor condensed on his body. At this moment, Luo Xiu resembled a true Demon King.

As if sensing something, endless purple blood threads surged from within him. Finally, combined with the demonic energy and Demon Flame on his body, they slowly transformed into a scarlet greatsword.

There was a single eye on the hilt of the scarlet greatsword, as if it was about to open at any moment.

However, this scarlet greatsword quickly dissipated. Luo Xiu could feel that his current self was unable to fully solidify it.

At the very least, he would need to reach the Martial General Realm or even higher to use it in combat. However, he didn't dwell on it and instead looked towards the figures still clashing in the sky.

In the distance, two figures had already arrived. The newcomers were precisely Li Wuji and Shadow.

Li Wuji felt the changes within his body and revealed a smile. Just now, he had felt the restlessness within his body, and then he consecutively broke through three realms, reaching the Martial Master Fourth Layer.

He saw Luo Xiu in the distance and the two figures in the sky. Even from a great distance, he could feel the aftershocks of their battle.

"So this is a Martial General Realm expert? They are indeed excitingly powerful!"
