Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 286 The Demonic Calamity (Part Two)

"Killed!!!"

The sound was so loud it almost pierced the sky.

In An'yan City, in front of a slaughterhouse, a butcher with a fierce face killed a customer with a single blow after a mere disagreement.

The surrounding crowd was immediately terrified and fled in panic, fearing that the mad butcher would stab them.

Not only here, but also in the courtyard…

"I'll teach you to not give me money! How am I supposed to make big money at the casino if you don't give me money?!"

A thin man with bloodshot eyes raised a red brick and smashed it hard against his elderly mother with a full head of white hair.

Inside the school, several students, harboring resentment after being scolded and beaten by their teacher, pulled out knives and repeatedly stabbed the once approachable and patient teacher. They then knocked over the oil lamp and burned the school, which they refused to visit, to the ground…

The gray fog gradually spread, seemingly causing people to lose their minds and unleashing the deepest malice in everyone's heart!

A minister commits regicide, a son rebels against his father, and a younger brother stabs his older brother!

The Three Cardinal Guides are in disarray, and the Five Constant Virtues are out of order!

The streets were filled with the sounds of fighting, and flames roared from inside the houses!

…....

…....

"Ok?"

Han Yi frowned, staring at the chaotic street.

He had just left the meat field and returned to the Crimson Flame Sect headquarters when he found the streets covered in blood.

Even with patrolling disciples running back and forth trying to maintain order, they couldn't keep things in order. These two people, who usually had little contact with each other, now had lifeless eyes, flushed faces, and were fighting like their lives depended on it, as if they were facing their father's killer.

"what happened?"

He grabbed a patrolling disciple who looked somewhat familiar.

"No, I don't know... The people on the street seem to have gone mad... They started fighting for no reason, and we couldn't stop them..."

After saying this, the blood-covered patrolling disciple hurriedly left for the next location to stop the fighting.

Seeing this scene, the ominous premonition in Han Yi's heart had reached its peak.

He rushed to Huang Ze's house, only to find that no one was there. Huang Jiu'er and Huang Xiuxiu were not home either.

At this moment, the gray mist that had been faintly visible became more and more obvious, rising slightly from the ground and reaching up to the calves of ordinary people.

"Gray fog?!" Han Yi was shocked; this wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation.

Memories surfaced; he had witnessed this gray mist before in Peach Blossom Village, which could completely envelop the entire village, making it impossible to enter or leave.

And now…

He looked around and saw that everywhere he looked, the ground was covered in a layer of gray fog, as if the entire city of Anyan was engulfed in a gray mist.

"Li Chengfeng, demons, it must be them who did this!"

Without hesitation, Han Yi arrived at the truth.

The clues are too obvious. Judging from the current scene, it is estimated that the demon forces used some kind of method to lure all the experts and the supernatural affairs bureau in the city out, and then took the opportunity to attack from behind!

Having figured out the key point, he moved swiftly and rushed in one direction.

These are demons that target an entire city, mass-producing demonized humans, easily plunging its inhabitants into chaos, and possessing the power to conquer and plunder...

That was completely beyond his capabilities!

Moreover, and most importantly, he was completely clueless about who his enemy was, where they were, and what their true purpose was. He had no idea how to deal with them...

Left with no other choice, he decided to go back to the Bai family's courtyard to prepare some things and then act according to the situation.

Fortunately, the headquarters of the Crimson Flame Sect was very close to the Bai family's courtyard. He quickly changed his clothes, packed up a lot of important things such as the Xuan Iron Sword, the small jade Buddha, gold notes, and other documents, and left the house.

After turning a street corner, I saw a group of people rushing forward like pigs, dodging several... people behind them?

"This is…...?!"

Han Yi's keen eyesight allowed him to immediately see the true appearance of these "people": their bodies were withered and black, their skin was dry and thin, as if something had drained their blood, and their eyes were completely red.

If these features alone could still be considered human, then the mouth completely loses its human form and is the most terrifying part.

These strange creatures had mouths split open at the corners, forming eight lobes with sharp teeth and wriggling fleshy buds, making them look like the mouths of insects.

At this moment, the monster grabbed a passerby who had fallen behind, split its mouth open completely, and stuffed its entire head inside.

Click!

The innocent passerby didn't even have time to scream before his neck was bitten off, and a grayish-white object resembling a spine was pulled out.

"This feels like a simplified version of demonization!"

Han Yi combined the changes that had occurred in Li Chengfeng and Danyangzi, and further expanded upon his unrestrained imagination from his previous life.

It's not hard to see that the gray mist directly transformed some people who were weak-willed or had wicked intentions into beings like corpse servants.

Just like those villagers in Peach Blossom Village, who were all in a daze and being manipulated. "Help... help me..."

"Waaah... Mother, where are you...?"

Corpse servants and panic were inseparable, spreading rapidly among the population like a viral epidemic.

An'yan City had been peaceful for a long time, and ordinary people had never seen such a strange thing before.

Not only ordinary people, but even martial artists who know a few skills are helpless and at a disadvantage when they encounter this monster that is invulnerable to blades and spears and feels no pain.

The crowd scattered like wild buffalo, fleeing in panic. A little girl with two braids in her hair fell to the side of the road, sobbing.

"Hold tight!"

Han Yi moved swiftly, grabbing the child in one hand and wielding the Xuan Tie sword in the other.

BOOM!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

The massive, door-sized Xuan Tie sword crashed down like a meteorite, creating a storm on the street.

Even without any force attached to the sword, the sheer power of it was enough to wipe out all the monsters in an instant.

Wherever the Xuan Tie sword swept, the corpse servants fell down in droves like wheat being harvested. Even if they felt no pain, with their spines broken and half of their bodies shattered, they were unable to move.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

In the crowd, a woman wearing an embroidered yellow and white floral jacket quickly walked up to Han Yi, her eyes brimming with tears. She took the little girl and thanked him repeatedly.

"Let's go, let's get out of the city. We can't stay here any longer..."

Han Yi waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

It seems there's really no way to stay in this city anymore...

He activated his Flying Dragon Technique, unleashing its full speed effect. He tapped his toes several times on the wooden cart at a roadside stall, disappearing into the street.

......

......

"Where did Huang Ze go?"

Han Yi flew rapidly along the eaves towards the city gate, leaving the large crowd of people behind him.

He went to Huang Ze's house again, but still couldn't find anyone.

Time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to think much about it. He decided to go out of the city to take a look first.

He didn't know many people in the city. Bai Sanren and Bai Qianxue had written to him before, saying that they had gone to the capital to heal their injuries, so he didn't need to worry about them.

Li Feng and Pan Sheng were still on missions outside and had not returned.

only…...

Han Yi had a bad feeling; he sensed that there might be even greater obstacles beyond the city gate…

Along the way, he occasionally encountered rampant corpse servants, but he paid them no heed, remaining steadfast in his goal.

In just a few dozen breaths, with Han Yi accelerating at full speed, he finally leaped onto the city wall.

However, as he looked at the scene around him, his expression gradually turned ugly.

Outside the city gate, the original mountains, official roads, and villages have all disappeared.

All that could be seen were layers upon layers of black mist.

A massive black fog, like a dark cloud that blots out the sky, enveloped the entire Blackrock City.

"This situation..."

Han Yi's expression was grim. He had encountered something similar before in Peach Blossom Village when he met that old peach tree. It was a completely sealed-off area composed of dense yin energy, from which ordinary people had no way to escape. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad...

There wasn't a single living person on the city wall; all the bodies of the guards lay in pools of blood.

Below, the city gate was completely blocked by piles of countless corpses.

A large amount of blood, like a river, was pungent, foul-smelling, and extremely viscous, flowing slowly at the city gate.

Within the river of blood, there stood a man in black.

The moment Han Yi saw him, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis, as if there was a great danger emanating from him, which made him feel fearful.

"An alien species... I smell an alien species..."

The man in black looked up and met Han Yi's gaze.

One was below, and the other was above, yet Han Yi felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart.

He was a handsome man with white hair, dressed in long, black clothes that completely covered his body, making him appear thin and tall, like a frail young master.

But Han Yi knew that just by looking at those green eyes, he knew this was definitely not an ordinary person.

He paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Yin Gu?"

He had previously heard from Huang Ze about the whole story of Aoyang's siege against the demons, and he knew a little about some of the details.

"Human, did you kill Li Chengfeng?" Yin Gu did not deny it, nodding in acknowledgment.

"It's me. You want to avenge him?" Han Yi nodded directly. At this point, there was no point in hiding anything.

"Revenge?!" Yin Gu laughed loudly. "It's nothing but a barking dog. Here's what we'll do: just hand over the Flesh Field Beast, and then give this..."

He plucked a white hair from his head: "Eat this, and I won't kill you, okay?"

"How is it?" Han Yi stood on the city wall, looking at the distant firelight and faint cries, then looked down at the blood river below the city gate, where countless limbs were severed and corpses lay strewn across the land.

He was originally just an ordinary person who came to this world in a panic. If it weren't for the system he had, he would probably have ended up as a corpse, just like the one at the city gate.

He had never seen a real demon before, so he still had a tiny, insignificant hope for the demon race.

After all, races with intelligence, society, classes, and systems, and whose appearance is similar to humans, can be treated as two equal races as long as they can communicate with each other.

He had even imagined that, with the system at his disposal, he could grow into the strongest being and force the two races to live in peace, just like the races that merged in his previous life.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

Today, he has come to a profound understanding of the true meaning of those words.

Demons, though they may look similar to humans, are nothing more than monsters in human skin. They regard humans as pigs and sheep, perhaps only slightly better than livestock.

He thought of Xiao He, who had been inexplicably taken away by a strange disease from the Valley God Sect.

He thought of Liu's Rice Shop, those rows of corpses, which still lingered deep in his heart.

He then thought of An'yan City now, where hundreds of thousands of people had died, rivers of blood flowed, corpses littered the fields, and the city was devastated.

He took a deep breath: "Yin Gu, are all you demons as stupid and dumb as Li Chengfeng and Danyangzi?"

"Oh, you also killed Danyangzi?" Yin Gu became interested, showing no anger whatsoever. "Danyangzi was quite a talent; he built up the Gu God Cult's ranks solely through his eloquence. Unfortunately, his foundation was too weak; he couldn't withstand the transformation into a mortal..."

Then, he looked at Han Yi with great interest: "You're quite good. You actually managed to kill Li Chengfeng and Danyangzi, which means you're stronger than them. Come on, come on, maybe you can completely withstand the ascension without losing your mind and brain."

“Ascension… Demonization…” Han Yi felt a surge of anger, recalling the strange phenomena on Dan Yangzi and Li Chengfeng.

"Indeed, joining our demon race and possessing a perfect, youthful body and unparalleled power is a change that countless people dream of and yearn for..." Yin Gu did not deny that ascension was the same as demonization. Perhaps, in his view, demons were a more perfect race than humans.

"Change...is it to devour flesh and blood, turning into that ugly monster?" Han Yi's anger flared even more, but he grinned and said, "Join? Why would I join you?"

Despite transforming into something neither human nor ghost, it somehow managed to come up with a nice-sounding name.

A surge of resentment rose within him; he loathed this world, loathed the chaotic and evil race of demons. "Huh?!" Yin Gu was taken aback. Countless people had always begged to join him; this was the first time he had ever been rejected after asking.

After all, transforming an ordinary human into a mortal being requires considerable resources and effort.

He thought for a moment: "Power... strength... eternal youth... immortality... don't you want that...?"

Han Yi remained silent and did not speak.

The murderous intent in his heart grew stronger, and countless violent thoughts of killing surged within him.

If there were no demons in this world, even if there were fights, conflicts, and deaths, it would still be a relatively stable and peaceful ancient world.

Absolutely not...

The Flying Dragon Skill and Qianyang Skill energies within his body circulated rapidly, causing his skin to faintly redden, while his eyes radiated a swelling, blood-red killing intent. Demons deserve to die!

Bang! ! !

The answer to the Yin Gu was a great sword that flew down from the sky.

The greatsword, blade facing downwards, produced a piercing sound as it cut through the air, and then, with lightning speed, it pierced directly into the head of the Yin Gu.

puff! ! !

Blood splattered everywhere as Yin Gu's entire head was cleaved in two by the massive sword tip, leaving a gaping wound several centimeters wide. He stood frozen in place, motionless.
