46: Raging resentment

"Li Yao! Don't you want to know what that monster is?"

Just as Li Yao was about to pick up the Zhenhai Rod and deal with the Soul-Devouring Demon, the Soul-Devouring Demon immediately blurted out in a panic.

"That monster with all the eyeballs just now?"

"That's right!"

"You also know the identity of this monster!"

Now it was Li Yao's turn to be stunned. He actually knew the identity of this monster?

Are you kidding? He hadn't even encountered many Demons from the Demon Clan, so how could he know the identity of this monster?

So there was only one reason: this guy was stalling for time.

He merely wanted to use his curiosity to buy time and wait for rescue.

How could he let this guy succeed?

"Want to stall for time? In your next life!"

With that, Li Yao pulled out the staff embedded in the Soul-Devouring Demon, then aimed it at the Soul-Devouring Demon's head, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing this, the Soul-Devouring Demon was instantly scared witless.

"No! You know him! He was transformed from a human!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yao was stunned.

Transformed from a human?

And someone he knew?

Could it be that the Pride Monarch had captured someone close to him and transformed him into a monster to deal with him?

Thinking of this, Li Yao became even more enraged.

Using someone close to him to deal with him—this grudge was irreconcilable!

"Do you know how I feel after hearing your news?"

The Soul-Devouring Demon instinctively shook its head.

How could it know? It wasn't a Heart Demon.

How could it know what Li Yao was thinking?

"Right now, I wish I could twist off the Pride Monarch's dog head and kick it away."

"However, I'm not the Pride Monarch's opponent right now, so I'll start with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yao's hand moved, and the Zhenhai Rod, carrying the power of suppression, landed on the Soul-Devouring Demon's head.

Bang!!

Large amounts of black liquid spurted out wildly; that was the Soul-Devouring Demon's blood.

With a single blow, the Soul-Devouring Demon was instantly killed.

And the moment the Soul-Devouring Demon died, Wang Bushi, who was rushing over, had the forbidden power within him unsealed.

That was power constrained by a contract.

Now, without the contract's restraint, his strength soared once again.

That was the Resentment towards the Soul-Devouring Demon!

Even if it died, Wang Bushi still resented it!

The towering Resentful Qi instantly erupted, and Li Yao naturally sensed its presence.

It was very strong, and he could feel this terrifying Resentful Qi targeting him.

"No, could this monster be Wang Bushi?"

Li Yao suddenly remembered what Zhang Quandan had said earlier.

Wang Bushi had been taken away by a man, to an unknown location.

If that were the case, then Li Yao understood why this monster was targeting him.

"It seems that even if you've turned into a monster, you're still targeting me."

"Since that's the case, I'll send you to the afterlife."

Fortunately, when he left, Steward Zhang had given him several extra treasures; otherwise, dealing with this Wang Bushi would have been truly difficult.

Not only was his resistance to attacks strong, but his speed and strength were also astonishingly fast.

Is this the product of a Demon?

Tens of thousands of meters away, after Wang Bushi unleashed the towering Resentful Qi within him, the surrounding Exotic Beasts all fled the area.

Although they were Exotic Beasts, once they gained a certain level of strength, they naturally developed their own intelligence.

Their remaining intelligence told them that it would be very dangerous to continue staying in this place.

For the safety of their lives, the Exotic Beasts began to flee.

For a time, the entire Nanyu Mountain Secret Realm experienced upheaval.

At this moment, within the Nanyu Mountain Secret Realm's safe zone.

The soldiers responsible for monitoring the environmental safety of the Nanyu Mountain Secret Realm immediately detected a terrifying power rioting.

"Not good!"

"This matter must be reported to the Garrison Commander immediately!"

Fortunately, the Garrison Commander was in the Secret Realm today; otherwise, if this happened, it would take time to report, delaying the best preparation time.

Deep within the Nanyu Mountain Secret Realm.

Due to sensing this terrifying Resentful Qi, except for a few powerful King-level Exotic Beasts, most Exotic Beasts below the King-level had fled from the depths of the Nanyu Mountain Secret Realm.

For a time, due to the Exotic Beasts fleeing, a powerful beast tide formed in Nan Yu Mountain.

They had only one goal: to escape this territory!

However, Secret Realms also have size limitations.

This meant that even if they fled to the corners of the Secret Realm, they still couldn't leave it.

So, they set their sights on the gate in the safe zone that led to the outside world!

The beast tide began to slowly take shape, waiting for the opportune moment to attack the city and enter the human world!

Wang Bushi's terrifying Resentment erupted, causing unusual changes in Nan Yu Mountain.

After an eruption, his speed became even more astonishing, covering thousands of meters in a single thought.

In Li Yao's intuitive perception, danger was constantly approaching.

Immediately, Li Yao released the Bitian Shield!

The emerald green great shield unfurled once again.

This time, it only covered Li Yao himself, and did not require expending a large amount of energy to also envelop the Golden Armor Fire Ape.

After the Bitian Shield unfolded, the next second, the Bitian Shield was subjected to a fierce attack.

The entire Bitian Shield almost seemed to collapse.

It shook continuously, on the verge of being shattered.

"Finally! Found! You!"

Wang Bushi, with only a head of sharp fangs and a pointed tongue, spoke, his tongue constantly licking the corners of his mouth.

It made Li Yao a little worried that Wang Bushi might accidentally bite off his own tongue while talking and licking his lips.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Yao directly opened Wang Bushi's interface.

Race: Demon (Resentment Demon)

Strength: King-level Stage Two (Strength increasing)

Skills: Resentment Entanglement, Devilish Qi Rampage, Devilish Qi Corrosion, Undying.

Evolution Plan: ...

Weakness: Holy Light Purification.

"Tsk, if you listen closely, it does sound a bit like Wang Bushi."

"It seems you really are Wang Bushi, no doubt. What a pity, to be transformed into a Demon."

"And, in such an ugly state."

"If your parents knew you were like this, they'd probably revive on the spot and give you a beating."

Li Yao shook his head and said, but he wouldn't show mercy to Wang Bushi just because he had become a Demon.

This guy clearly wanted to devour him and put him to death.

Being merciful to an enemy is being cruel to oneself.

Since this Wang Bushi had already become like this, then as his former classmate, he naturally had the responsibility to help this guy find peace.
