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

"Hmph, that's too easy..." the cold-faced burly man said contemptuously.

According to the intelligence he obtained from Heleon, one of these girls was a healing-type superhuman, another was an alchemist, and the third was a sickly, frail little girl who wasn't even a superhuman.

"It takes the three of us to catch just a few girls," the cold-faced burly man sneered. "The chairman is clearly looking down on us."

The red-haired, ponytail-wearing youth said, "Alright, stop being so smug. Isn't this good? We can finally join the board of directors and get company shares."

The hunched old woman: "Wait a minute... something seems off!"

She suddenly sensed a terrifying and powerful demonic energy...

The cold-faced burly man and the red-haired ponytail youth also clearly sensed it and their expressions immediately changed.

"boom!"

A massive, overwhelming wave of demonic energy surged towards us!

The burly, cold-faced man, the hunched old woman, and the red-haired, ponytail-wearing youth were all thrown back by the powerful blast of air, their hair flying wildly.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Ye Zi's petite figure appeared amidst the smoke.

On the neck of the leaf, a scarlet demonic seal was shimmering faintly.

The curse mark quickly began to grow beautiful yet dangerous magical patterns, like living flower branches, and a dazzling yet hazy halo soon covered her body.

Within the green pupils of the leaf, crimson blood vessels gradually spread from the whites of the eyes, quickly connecting to form patches resembling rising blood mist.

The hunched old woman was shocked: "That thing on the little girl's neck is... a demon's curse mark??? Isn't she from Nightsong? How could she have a demon's curse mark???"

The burly, cold-faced man stared for a while, then noticed something and said, "Something's not right... it seems a little different from the demon race's curse mark..."

He felt that it seemed somewhat like the style of the curse marks of the ancient demon race, but it was slightly different from the curse marks of the ancient demon race.

"Tear... tear...!"

At the same time, Yu Li also broke free from the cocoon that bound her hair.

Her entire body was engulfed in eerie blue demonic flames, and strands of red hair slowly began to fall away from her body.

Beautiful magical patterns now covered Yu Li's pure and beautiful face.

Unlike Ye Zi, the magic patterns on her body were gray-black, and her whole body was enveloped in a flowing aura of demonic energy. She held the Holy Light Staff that Ye Ge had given her, but at this moment, the golden light that the Holy Light Staff originally emitted had turned into gray-black demonic light.

At the same time, her extraordinary level also exploded and rose directly to the first level of the Heavenly Revelation Realm as the power of the curse seal was activated!

"This girl also has a cursed mark!"

The hunchbacked old woman said incredulously.

She couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried: how could two pure-blooded human girls, who were Ye Ge's subordinates, have demonic curse marks on them!

Cursed seals are often powers bestowed upon subordinates by superiors within dark races, sealed within the subordinate's body.

While empowering subordinates, one can also control them and maintain their loyalty.

The most typical examples are the Sun Wheel Clan and the Devil Clan.

Activating the curse seal allows the lower-level user to temporarily gain a portion of the dark power obtained from the higher-level user, greatly enhancing their attributes while causing irreversible damage to their body.

However, the demonic curse that Yege gave to the two girls did not have such side effects.

Yu Li looked down at the gray-black magic runes that had appeared on her wrist, wondering if this was the power of the curse mark that Brother Ye Ge had given her last time.

"Huh? Sister Yuli, so you also have a curse mark?" Ye Zi asked in surprise.

“…Hmm.” Yu Li looked at Ye Zi: “Ye Zi, are you alright?”

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine!" The protective shield that Yu Li had placed around Ye Zi was completely intact. She wasn't injured at all, and she wasn't even touched by gunpowder.

Upon seeing this, the red-haired, ponytail-wearing youth muttered under his breath, "Damn it, what's going on? How did these two little girls suddenly become Apocalypse Realm superhumans??"

"Don't rush." ​​The hunchbacked old woman's face darkened, and she said calmly, "In the end, they're just at the Heavenly Revelation Realm. Can't the three of us, the Saintly Descent Realm Descendants, handle two Heavenly Revelation Realm support characters? They don't have the ability to fight enemies above their level like Ye Ge!"

She glanced at the cold-faced, burly man beside her: "I'll deal with the white-haired girl; you can handle the green-eyed one."

"Hmm." The cold-faced, burly man nodded.

"Boom!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the hunchbacked old woman pushed off with her feet and sprinted forward again!

She raised her hand and made the strange palm gesture again, then instantly rushed in front of Yu Li.

In just a few seconds, he unleashed over a hundred palm strikes!

"Eighth-tier martial skill - Qi Body Hundred Patch Palm!"

Thump thump thump thump thump thump! ! !

Every time the hunchbacked old woman struck the barrier in front of Yu Li, it created astonishing ripples.

However, after hundreds of strikes, the protective shield remained completely unmoved...

Yu Li stood inside the protective shield, seemingly unaffected.

The hunchbacked old woman's expression changed, and she quickly did a backflip to create some distance.

Are you kidding me? !

She, a martial artist at the Saint Realm, used an eighth-tier martial skill's ultimate move to attack a protective shield created by a first-tier Heavenly Revelation Realm support-type superhuman, yet it had absolutely no effect?

Yu Li looked at the faintly glowing gray-black magic patterns on her body, arms, and the back of her hands, lost in thought.

Thanks to the power granted to her by her brother Yege's curse mark, the strength of her Qi Shield seemed to have increased as well.

Moreover, she seems to be able to change the nature of her support shield through the magic given to her by her brother Yege.

Yu Li thought of the new skill that Ye Ge had created by compressing and fusing Fireball and Lightning Bolt...

After all, she was once Ye Ge's student...

When Ye Ge taught her how to make potions, and she lost confidence, Yu Li never forgot the words Ye Ge said to her.

Yu Li pondered in silence, then suddenly raised the dark version of the Holy Light Staff in her hand, silently chanting incantations and mobilizing the magic and soul power within her body.

The two forces within the soul power nodes of the body merged together and flowed rapidly along the meridians.

As it overflowed from the body, it gradually underwent a material change, and the white and grayish-black aura condensed into a black halo at the tip of the Holy Light Staff.

"Dark Magic - Netherworld Light Severing Boundary!"

Yu Li raised the dark version of the Holy Light Staff in her hand and gently tapped it at the hunchbacked old woman from a distance.

A pale black light suddenly appeared beside the hunchbacked old woman, completely enveloping her.

The hunchbacked old woman was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Yu Li wanted to put a protective shield on her.

But she soon discovered that the light black protective shield was shrinking inward, and the pressure inside was increasing!

Moreover, this black light shield is not only drawing away and annihilating her soul power, but it is also compressing and decomposing the molecular and atomic structure of her body!
