“Don't lump me together with ordinary people.”
The corners of Jiang Feiwen's mouth curled up so far they nearly tore to his ears.
As his joints and bones continuously twisted, his body began to swell and mutate.
Bird wings sprouted from his back, his palms turned into claws, and barb-like spines burst from his skin.
These deformed limbs belonged precisely to the demons Jiang Feiwen had eaten in the past.
Jiang Feiwen's eyes turned crimson, and a nauseating bloody aura pervaded his entire body.
Seeing this scene, several high-ranking officials and nobles nearby turned pale as death.
Only now did they realize the truth.
“Young Master Jiang actually turned into a demon!”
“Wait, Young Master Jiang was originally human. How could he turn into a demon? Could it be... because of eating demon flesh and blood?”
Hearing these words, terror rapidly spread through the hearts of everyone who had eaten demon flesh and blood.
Some even dropped to the ground, jamming their fingers down their throats in a desperate attempt to vomit up all the demon flesh and blood they had swallowed.
“Now you don't want to transform? Do you think you can escape?”
A hideous grin suddenly broke out across Jiang Feiwen's face.
“Since it can't be hidden any longer, then all of you, wake up for me!”
The moment his voice fell, the bodies of everyone who had devoured demon flesh and blood began to tremble violently.
Immediately after, mutations occurred within their bodies just like Jiang Feiwen, with demon flesh and blood constantly bulging out.
Before long, nearly half of the people inside the auction house had completely transformed into demons.
Jiang Feiwen had distributed the demon flesh and blood to these high-ranking officials and nobles precisely for this moment.
“Useless trash! If you want to keep eating flesh and blood, follow my orders! Kill him, and then snatch those two female demons back for me!”
“Roar!”
The people who had turned into demons had lost almost all reason, becoming walking corpses that followed the order, lunging toward Chen Ning all at once.
“Thunderous Sword Intent.”
Chen Ning imbued both fists with Sword Intent, lightning flashing across his hands.
The force of his punches tore through the air. This pair of fists was as sharp as swords, lightning swirling through space.
Any demon that drew near was either sliced into two halves or turned into char in the blink of an eye.
【Slayed demon x1, obtained Noble Qi x20】
【Slayed demon x1, obtained Noble Qi x20】
Killing them like this was too slow, so Chen Ning simply opened his mouth.
“Devouring Mountains and Rivers.”
Under normal circumstances, Devouring Mountains and Rivers could only be used on demons that were already dead or heavily injured.
However, the strength of these human-turned-demons was hardly anything significant. Relying on Devouring Mountains and Rivers, he could completely devour them directly.
The crowd of demons instantly felt an instinctive terror, desperately struggling to escape.
Yet under the terrifying suction force, they could not move even an inch, and the bloodlines within their bodies were drained completely clean in the blink of an eye.
Before long, dozens of demons turned into ashes.
【Slayed demon x33, obtained Noble Qi x660】
“What a bunch of useless trash!”
Jiang Feiwen had never expected this horde of demons to be so utterly weak, and his face instantly stiffened.
“In that case, I'll kill you myself.”
Jiang Feiwen's claw suddenly took the shape of a bull's hoof, his power skyrocketing as it crushed down like a formidable mountain.
Bang!
When fists clashed, a violent airflow exploded outward in all directions.
Chen Ning was slightly surprised. “Not bad. A half-baked monster like you can actually possess such power.”
“Don't lump me together with them! The powers in my body are far more than just one type!”
“Flaw!”
In the next moment, Jiang Feiwen's hand turned into a tiger's claw, whistling as it swept across.
The tiger claw's power was not to be underestimated, leaving three deep, long bloody gashes directly across Chen Ning's arm.
Chen Ning's entire right arm twisted and bent, its tendons and bones snapped to pieces.
“Sword Rule.”
Words became divine commands. Two short swords condensed out of thin air and shot toward Jiang Feiwen.
Jiang Feiwen instantly unfurled his wings, flying into the sky and easily dodging the two short swords.
The two short swords stabbed deep into the ground, clearly having failed to anticipate Jiang Feiwen's flight trajectory.
“Interesting.”
Chen Ning smiled faintly.
No wonder Jiang Feiwen was so confident.
By devouring the flesh and blood of numerous demons, a single person possessed the abilities of multiple demons at once.
“It seems you're nothing much after all.”
Hovering in midair, Jiang Feiwen looked down smugly at Chen Ning.
“Your Confucian spells can't even touch me, and now your arm is broken. How are you going to fight me next? I am a demon, but I am an aggregate of countless demons!”
“To get so wild over leaving behind such a minor wound—are you sure you're not joking?”
“Still talking tough at a time like this. Just how stupid are you...”
However, the smug expression on Jiang Feiwen's face suddenly froze.
He watched helplessly as a wisp of holy, blazing golden fire ignited on Chen Ning's injured arm.
Within that fire, Chen Ning's fractured wound surprisingly healed at a terrifying speed.
In mere seconds, that broken arm was fully restored to its original state, showing not even a trace of a scar.
“How is that possible?! How could a human possess such terrifying recovery power!”
Jiang Feiwen stared with wide eyes in utter disbelief, even suspecting that he was seeing an illusion.
“What's wrong with humans? Isn't it much better-looking than an ugly monster like you? Besides, you don't actually think that possessing more abilities equates to being stronger, do you?”
“Worlds Apart in a Single Step.”
Though he couldn't fly, briefly appearing in midair was no problem at all.
In the next moment, Chen Ning stepped right in front of Jiang Feiwen.
Before Jiang Feiwen could even react, his throat was gripped tightly as if by iron pincers.
“So what if you caught me?!”
Jiang Feiwen had filled his entire body with demon flesh and blood, making his body as hard and solid as iron or stone.
Yet Chen Ning did not care in the slightest, raising his fist directly.
One punch, two punches, three punches...
The bones in Jiang Feiwen's face instantly collapsed heavily inward.
Under this terrifying power, the defense he prided himself on was utterly fragile.
Bang!
With the next punch, Jiang Feiwen's whole body shuddered violently, bleeding incessantly from his Seven Orifices, completely unable to endure it any longer.
“Stop hitting me!”
Jiang Feiwen cried out in terror.
“Fine. If you say stop, I stop.”
Chen Ning pulled back his fist and threw Jiang Feiwen flying out directly.
“Devouring Mountains and Rivers.”
In the next moment, Jiang Feiwen's body, halfway through its flight, was sucked straight back.
He could feel the blood in his body draining away step by step.
“What on earth is this?!”
Jiang Feiwen struggled desperately in panic, only to find that no matter what he did, he could not break free.
Before long, his bloodline was completely drained dry, his massive body turning into a pile of withered bones.
【Successfully slayed demon, obtained Noble Qi x800】
“Ptui, ptui.”
Chen Ning spat twice.
Although the effect of Devouring Mountains and Rivers was to refine the purest essence blood from demon bloodlines, the blood from these minor demons was still a bit stinky.
It seemed it would be better not to casually use this move on minor demons with impure bloodlines in the future...
