195: I'll remember you!

It all happened too fast. ink shadow was originally attacking those two Desolate Demons, so by the time Chu Yuan wanted to stop it, it was already too late.

He truly never expected that Kun Mo would actually strike his own clansmen first... At this moment, Kun Mo's appearance changed drastically, his body size swelling just like Li Wei's had before.

The difference was that his body didn't crack from the expansion; instead, mysterious patterns manifested across him.

His pupils, which originally looked like black beans, now faintly glowed with red light, and a terrifying Aura emanated from him!

Clearly, his previous act of consuming his own kind was a cruel sacrificial method unique to the Nightmare Insect Clan... "Human Race!" Kun Mo's voice also changed, becoming deep and hoarse, as if he were enduring some unspeakable pain!

And now, he was going to vent this pain... the human before him was the perfect target!

Kun Mo's figure suddenly vanished.

An afterimage?

Chu Yuan's pupils constricted. ink shadow instantly moved behind him, and clear light surfaced around it once more.

Immediately after, a powerful slash struck!

ink shadow was smashed into Chu Yuan's back, and the clear light around it flickered, emitting the sound of cracking... This was a protective Spell he had mastered called the Calamity-Averting Profound Light. Though it looked like a thin layer, its defensive power was even stronger than the black armor he wore.

Yet it was nearly shattered by this single blow... even with ink shadow acting as a buffer!

Chu Yuan's body was like a cannonball, slamming violently into the barrier formed by the Soul-Polluting Grand Array, causing the barrier to shake.

A sweet metallic taste filled his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The two Desolate Demons followed like shadows, attacking from the left and right!

Seemingly attracted by this mouthful of blood containing Spiritual Qi, those two anomalies in the distance actually ignored the entanglement of the Anomaly Chu Yuan had enslaved, abandoned part of their bodies, and reassembled in front of him!

Then, two hands shifting between illusion and reality clawed toward his heart... but Chu Yuan couldn't spare them a glance right now, pointing his fingertip toward the top of his head.

A Void Realm vortex that devoured everything condensed, as a slash struck down from above once more!

The strange weapon was sucked in by the vortex, but only for a brief moment. In the next instant, the vortex shattered, and Chu Yuan's fingers were dripping with blood... Fortunately, ink shadow emerged beneath Kun Mo's feet, suddenly piercing toward his abdomen!

Although Kun Mo was in a strange state, he didn't dare take a direct hit from that terrifying black sword and was forced to change his move to block it.

At the same time, the attacks from the two Desolate Demons and the two anomalies landed on Chu Yuan simultaneously!

The newly condensed Calamity-Averting Profound Light on his body's surface shattered again, and his inner black armor was deformed by the blows... Waves of intense pain surged through him.

Emerging alongside the pain was an endless rage!

Since he began his cultivation, when had he ever suffered such a great loss?

Only that time with Tong Han... but he had already killed Tong Han for revenge... With a flick of his wrist, a multicolored Medicinal Pill that exuded a sense of "pollution" fell into his hand, and he raised it to his mouth!

The Epiphyllum Lure was no longer useful to him. This Medicinal Pill was converted using "Fleeting Radiance," and the System had named it "Aurora."

Its effects were unknown, as were its backlashes... after all, he hadn't actually used it yet.

But one thing was certain: taking this pill would definitely solve his current trouble.

However, the backlash would certainly be a hundred times more severe than that of the Epiphyllum Lure... even Zhang Chen might not be able to save him... Kun Mo was also watching Chu Yuan's movements, and seeing his actions, he was delighted rather than alarmed.

The methods these humans used were all more or less the same—burning everything to gain powerful strength for a short time... As long as Chu Yuan swallowed that Medicinal Pill, his mission would be complete.

He wouldn't even need to keep fighting Chu Yuan; he could just withdraw.

After all, the human would die from the pill's backlash... As for himself, the sacrificial method he used sacrificed the lives of his clansmen. Although it also harmed him, he could recover after resting for a while!

"Eat it... what else can you do?" Kun Mo muttered to himself.

He finally saw Chu Yuan put the pill into his mouth... Just then, the two Desolate Demons about to attack Chu Yuan again suddenly looked dazed for a moment.

Immediately, their claws were wrapped in a pale yellow mist, and they swiped at the two anomalies beside them!

The two anomalies were caught off guard and had no defense at all.

In an instant, large portions of their bodies were annihilated, and they let out ear-piercing shrieks!

Thus, they ignored Chu Yuan and twisted around to charge at the two Desolate Demons, their figures overlapping... they were using one of their most adept attack methods: Possession!

Chu Yuan's Soul-related methods were powerful; just by getting close, one of their companions had been enslaved, so they naturally didn't dare possess him.

But as for the Desolate Demons... what were they?

The bodies of the two Desolate Demons fell uncontrollably, with shrieks and roars coming from their mouths simultaneously, looking incredibly eerie.

Chu Yuan was even more stunned. The situation where he was being beaten had suddenly vanished?

Before he could react, he heard a familiar voice: "Chu Yuan!"

"Feng Zhao!?" He saw Feng Zhao racing toward him, with a familiar figure following behind him, and further back, several Desolate Demons followed quietly like guards... Chu Yuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly stuck his fingers down his throat.

"Bleargh—"

"..."

"..."

...The ground trembled, as if some gargantuan creature was turning over and struggling deep within the earth.

On the Bone Wasteland, countless bones began to shake gently.

It seemed some strange force was forcing them to gather and fuse together... but perhaps due to insufficient power, it eventually settled back into calm.

The ground's trembling also subsided, as if nothing had happened.

Only Kun Mo looked bewildered... Where was the Soul-Polluting Grand Array? Where was his massive array?

Had it been sucked dry by the earth and those endless bones like someone slurping noodles?

Before he could even question it, several Desolate Demons pounced forward eagerly, as if they had received an order!

Kun Mo gripped his weapon and slashed out.

One Desolate Demon's body instantly shattered, revealing its core, which he grabbed. Chu Yuan spat out the Aurora pill, looking lingeringly fearful.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, isolating the pill with Spiritual Qi the moment he sensed a change, without refining it... otherwise, wouldn't he have lost out big time!?

He tore off a piece of cloth to wipe it and put it away again.

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Feng Zhao turned to look at Kun Mo. "Did he eat Jinkela?"

"Pretty much..." Chu Yuan also looked over and shouted, "Kun Mo! I'll remember you!"

"I've really never seen a clown as humorous as you!"

"Screech—!"

Circles of transparent ripples spread out; even before they arrived, they made one feel dizzy.

Dikin and Feng Zhao looked solemn, but Chu Yuan was even more disdainful.

A touch of seven-colored light appeared between heaven and earth, as if to purify everything.

"Playing this game with me? I'll play you to death..."
