Chapter 204 - Three Headed Heavenly Demon
Damn Devil Clan!
Guo Fan set Hee Mengyao down and was about to rescue his three lolis when he saw Yijun rush out. Just as he was about to say “be careful,” he saw her chop Pann Xiaoying's head in half.
Guo Fan was still in shock when he heard Yijun shout “Devil Clan,” and he cursed under his breath.
“Pann Xiaoying” split open like a parasitic beast, revealing a mass of solid black fog writhing inside.
It looked eerily familiar.
Guo Fan's eyes widened. How could it not be familiar?
About two months ago, in Veplon Country where Frost River Manor was, in a cave next to the Frightening Slopes, the former master of the Jade Void Sect, Zi Chen, who had begged for mercy and died for his path, had been possessed by the true master of Gu Chao.
Wasn't it a Devil Clan?
This damn game dog schemed to set me up!
The devil tide only erupted in the late stages of the game, and the war between humans and devils was massive. It turned out there was a hidden plot in the storyline, unrevealed until later stages. This time, he encountered it!
The Five-legged Heavenly Devil, who had possessed Yin Fen two months ago, was already known among players. The plot was clearly written, seemingly to lure players into the Devil Clan setting and pave the way for future developments. The outcome of the Five-legged Heavenly Devil and Yin Fen dying together had been predetermined.
The Five-legged Heavenly Devil worshipped by the devil religion, Luo Shengtian, was a joke. He wasn't an omnipotent devil god but a devil with a higher status in Abyss Lake Prefecture.
This led to the devil religion's destruction, and they joined forces with the righteous faction to fight against the Devil Clan.
However, besides that, the Devil Clan rarely appeared in the first half of the game…
Yet, the “Pann Xiaoying” who was split in half before Guo Fan indicated that the Devil Clan's appearances were not rare. They were perhaps just better at hiding.
Guo Fan could almost imagine that the seemingly peaceful Upper Central Realm was actually occupied by the Devil Clan. The sudden devil tide eruption was premeditated.
And now, he was actually clearing the mines.
The appearance of the Devil Clan in the Martial Sovereign Tomb was indeed terrifying.
“Hehehehe… Hahahahaha…”
As Guo Fan thought rapidly, a series of overlapping sharp laughter came from Pann Xiaoying's chest and head. It carried a strange rhythm and an invisible sound wave spreading out, pushing away the surrounding dust.
The invisible sound wave swept over. When it lifted the dust, it seemed gentle, but upon entering one's ears, it felt like a sharp iron rod stirring the brain, causing dizziness.
Red light flashed on the killing heart's gallbladder in Guo Fan's hand. The second buffs that came with it, the “Dark Heart,” activated, greatly weakening the spiritual attack. This made the attack nearly ineffective.
Although Guo Fan was fine, the others showed signs of discomfort and felt a bit nauseous.
Yijun bore the brunt of the attack. The sound wave was not just auditory; it carried real attack damage. She was suddenly hit by an invisible impact, forcing her back a few steps. She turned and jumped to the ground to stabilize herself.
At this point, Guo Fan had already pulled the three lolis behind him and let Xinyue treat their injuries. By now, one-third of the Spiritual Energy on the Mountain Sea Spirit had been used up, mostly by the hammer.
But now, they could only rely on the hammer to strike and use it to their best advantage.
Guo Fan had the hammer clear the way and eliminate the Strange Beasts. Qingfu and Si Mi, being stronger, went to support Yijun. He and Su makeup stayed behind to protect Hee Mengyao.
It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he was indeed the weakest now. Those Strange Beasts seemed to be controlled by “Pann Xiaoying,” so he naturally had to deal with the controller first.
As the old saying goes, to catch a thief, capture the king; to catch an adulterer, catch both.
He, Liu, had practiced this many times, confirming the wisdom of the ancients with his own experience.
Yijun stood up, sword in hand, and coldly stared at “Pann Xiaoying,” wiping away the trace of blood from the corner of her mouth.
This was likely the first time Yijun had been injured in battle since Li Xieren stood beside Guo Fan. Seeing this, Guo Fan's heart tightened, and he shouted, “Yijun! She's from the Devil Clan! The Nine Cauldron Barrier doesn't affect her. Quickly retreat!”
However, Yijun ignored his words, remaining where she was, and said, “Mother said that the Devil Clan must be eradicated.”
It appeared that Li Xieren's orders held more weight than her father's. Guo Fan understood this; otherwise, he might have persuaded Yijun to abandon the mission long ago, but…
Li Xieren? Kill the Devil Clan?
As the saintess of the Devil Cult, she should still have some respect for the Devil Clan at this time!
Could it be because of him?! What exactly did Li Xieren discover…
Guo Fan was confused but then grew anxious. If the Devil Clan didn't die here, they would certainly die on the battlefield of the devil tide.
But now, they were all trapped by the Nine Furnace Secret Realm. Due to the Devil Clan's different power system, they didn't need Spiritual Energy to cultivate and wouldn't weaken. Yijun was courting death!
Guo Fan restrained his impulse to rush out and help her. He made a quick decision and shouted to Si Mi and Qingfu, “Pull her back! Run!”
Just as he finished speaking.
“Rumble…”
Inside the cracked head of “Pann Xiaoying,” the black fog made a strange sound. The flesh wriggled and merged but didn't reform into its original shape. Instead, it turned into two identical heads!
“Pann Xiaoying's” once graceful body suddenly had two heads!
This fake Pann Xiaoying was possessed by the Devil Clan, specifically one of the three-headed lion and tiger beasts. It had taken over the lion and tiger beast's body again. The sight of the two heads splitting open was shocking and hinted at the previous three heads being related to this scene.
However, there was one person who understood what the Devil Clan was even without seeing the cause and effect.
Guo Fan's pupils shrank, “Three-head Heavenly Devil!”
Eight arms, three heads, two bodies, and Chaos. Among the four great Heavenly Devils of the Devil Clan, the Five-legged Heavenly Devil had already died in the cave at the back of Bottle Lane. Now, the Three-head Heavenly Devil had surfaced in Martial Monarch Cave.
The level of the devil dragon beneath Sealed Dragon Pond was slightly higher, but it had been locked down for thousands of years, reducing its strength significantly.
These Devil Clan beings primarily existed in the form of fog. To survive in the world of the Obsidian Tribes, they needed a host. Without one, they would die within hours. Among the possible hosts, the human body was the most suitable, but this resulted in strange appearances.
The Five-legged Heavenly Devil was the figure with eight arms that looked like spiders behind the old man, Yin Fen. If not for Yin Fen's bodily functions weakening at the last moment… He could have seen the old man's eight arms.
Guo Fan suddenly realized that the deformed human dolls in the outer tomb were not failed experiments but that the Puppet Master was imitating the structure of the Devil Clan!
“Hehehehe… You seem to know quite a lot.”
The two heads of “Pann Xiaoying” emitted a sharp, overlapping sound. It vaguely carried the seductive tone of Pann Xiaoying, but with these two heads, no matter how charming, it was terrifying.
Guo Fan, wanting to buy time for the two lolis close to Yijun, laughed and said, “I do know a lot. For instance, I know that the Five-legged Heavenly Devil is already dead. For instance, I know what you're most afraid of.”
