Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Hohoo-oh—!!"

The tents were completely breached.

"Crack!"

Bai Jian drew his sword and severed the iron chains binding Bai Qing, then brought her out.

Fortunately, Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Ye Yulong, Li Shuying, Arthur and the others had received a warning and were able to evacuate from their tents in time, retreating to the open space outside and dispersing.

The impact of the strange beast bursting out of the ground spread in all directions.

Ye Ge, holding Gao Shenxue, flipped in the air and landed steadily several dozen meters away.

The beast looked like a monster from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with hard plates like those of a giant millipede covering its body. It had a beast-like head and a body like a large snake. It had no legs, but had a pair of long, lizard-like hands. It looked brutal and ferocious!

At the same time, Night Song saw many clearly visible black veins, like capillaries, covering the monster's entire body.

Also, this monster's eyes are purple!

Ye Ge immediately sensed that the monster possessed a strong aura of demonic lineage!

"Roar!"

The beast stretched out its enormous claw and slapped a warrior who hadn't managed to get away in time. With a "crack," it crushed the warrior in its hand, making the sound of bones breaking. Then, it stuffed the broken bones and flesh into its mouth full of sharp teeth and began to chew them with a "crack, crack."

"Zhao Ling!?"

Duan Ye's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The soldier who was eaten was one of Bai Jian's subordinates who came with him!

When Bai Jian saw this scene, his face turned ashen.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Ye Yang jumped to the side and said in astonishment.

"A beast with a snake's body, it's a Qin insect." Ye Qingxin took out her sniper rifle and said in a deep voice, "It's a strange beast that lives in mountain and sea forest regions... But this Qin insect seems a bit off, like it's undergone a genetic mutation..."

“It has been corrupted,” Night Song said coldly. “Someone injected it with dark blood and genetically modified it.”

Injecting humans with dark blood is definitely not the same as injecting them with dark blood.

The Blood of Darkness is designed to be used against human genes, but its effects are clearly different when used on a beast. This beast has obviously undergone a long period of genetic modification to become what it is!

People who would do this kind of thing...

Even a fool could tell who it was!

"Buzzing..."

Ye Qingxin glanced at the shaking ground around her: "Be careful, it's happening again!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen large, strange beasts emerged from the ground.

"Oh my god..."

"Where did all these monsters come from?!"

"These beasts have all become demonized. Did they also consume the blood of darkness?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jian's heart tightened, recalling the soldier who had consumed the Dark Blood in White City: 'Dark Blood? Could it be His Excellency the Duke...? Uh!!'

Suddenly, Bai Jian felt a sharp pain in his chest, which quickly spread throughout his body, causing him to lose all strength and immediately kneel down. He only managed to stay upright by sticking his long sword into the ground for support.

"Brother??" Bai Qing hurriedly helped him up. "What's wrong?"

Then Bai Qing was horrified to discover that Bai Jian's body was slowly emanating a hazy blackish-purple aura, his eyes were slowly turning dark purple, and the blood vessels on his neck were clearly visible turning black rapidly. A menacing energy was constantly surging from his body.

Bai Qing felt a dryness in her throat and slightly opened her mouth: "Brother, you..."

“It’s the blood of darkness.” Bai Jian closed his eyes, then forced them open again. His gaze revealed that his will had not been extinguished. “I can feel it. Those dark microorganisms are inside me, altering my cells… they are corrupting me…”

At this point, even if Bai Jian was blindly loyal, he should have realized what was going on.

"It seems it really is His Excellency the Duke..."

Bai Jian's expression was bitter, and the veins on the back of his right hand, which was gripping the sword hilt, bulged.

He didn't know when Wang En injected him with the blood of darkness.

Before this incident, Bai Jian had always been completely unguarded against Wang En, who had far too many opportunities to inject him with the blood of darkness.

"I can feel it, I'm about to turn into a demon." Bai Jian's voice gradually lowered: "You'd better stay away from me."

Bai Qing frowned: "I..."

At that moment, Ye Ge suddenly appeared behind her, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said expressionlessly, "Superhumans need to see the situation clearly. This is not the time to learn those stupid 'I will never leave' lines from TV shows."

After he finished speaking, the black mist of the Calamity Spirit quickly enveloped him and Bai Qing.

Almost simultaneously, Bai Jian's pupils were also completely filled with deep purple, and with a "whoosh," he swung his sword, cutting a long streak of light through the black mist.

But Ye Ge and Bai Qing have disappeared.

The next moment, Ye Ge and Bai Qing appeared together in a corner a dozen meters away.

Ye Ge stared coldly at Bai Jian. The demonized Bai Jian was shrouded in dark purple demonic energy, displaying his peak Asura Realm combat power and exuding a terrifying aura! Ye Ge even checked his system and found that his attributes were already approaching those of Tian Qi!

Ye Ge raised his hand and made a gesture.

"on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so Shadow Assassins appeared.

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

The shadows formed an encirclement, and as more than a dozen black iron chains were swung out, they bound Bai Jian's limbs and back from all directions.

For a moment, he was unable to move.

However, it has been proven before that this trick can only control him temporarily.

"Sixth-tier demonic sword skill - Demonic Killing Sword Intent!"

A cold glint flashed in Bai Jian's eyes.

Countless crisscrossing black sword energies appeared out of thin air around his body! They were frantically cutting through space!

"Chachachachacha—!"

The dozen or so black iron chains binding him were instantly severed by the sword energy that appeared out of nowhere!

However, the Shadows had fought him before and knew that this one move wouldn't work.

A dozen more shadowy figures emerged from the shadows.

Thirty-odd shadowy figures, each wielding a dagger, formed a siege formation and engaged Bai Jian in fierce combat.

In the blink of an eye, the clash of swords and the clanging of weapons filled the air!

This time is different from the last time. Last time, Bai Jian only made a feint attack on the Ye family camp, so he did not use his full strength. This time, he did not hold back at all. In addition, he has also undergone a demonic upgrade, so his combat power has been enhanced by more than one point!

In just a few rounds, seven or eight shadowy figures were severely injured by the Ling Sha Sword in his hand!

The Ye family camp was in chaos. The horns of emergency had been sounded, and the strange beasts that broke out roared to the sky, wreaking havoc all over the camp and eating anyone they saw!

Meanwhile, Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, Ye Yang, and Ye Mengyu have already begun leading the Ye family warriors to deal with these alien beasts.

Seeing all this, Ye Ge thought to himself that he knew Wang En would not just sit and wait to die. He turned to Li Shuying and said, "Quickly take some people to help Ye Yulong and the others! You guys go and wipe out those dozen or so strange beasts that came out of the ground. Shadow will handle Bai Jian's side!"

Li Shuying nodded quickly: "Yes!"

However, at this moment, a cold voice seemed to resound from the horizon: "Today is the day your entire Ye family will be annihilated!"

Ye Ge's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up toward the source of the sound.

A figure radiating a powerful aura of soul energy hovered in the dark night sky.

Without a doubt, it was Wang En!
