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

Tianhao crossed his arms and looked at Lin Chishang with disdain: "Lin Chishang, you think you can fool me with such a clumsy escape tactic? You underestimate me too much."

"Cough...cough cough..."

Lin Chishang leaned against a nearby tree, squinted, and slowly knelt down.

She could clearly feel her power draining away!

[Deep Blue System: Warning! The host's body has been invaded by an unknown toxin, entering a "poisoned" state.]

【当前中毒效果：力量-18%、敏捷-24%、精神-23%、意识清醒-22%、魂力运转效率-31%......】

[Note: All attributes are still being reduced! Please detoxify as soon as possible!]

'What a potent poison...'

Lin Chishang thought to himself, 'Even with my holy power, I can't completely expel it from my body...'

Now it seems that Tianhao probably let her out of the city on purpose.

Because there were, after all, law enforcers from the Light Alliance in the way of the city.

Here, there was simply no one who could save her...

"I gave you a chance, but since you didn't want it, there's nothing I can do." Tianhao sneered, then turned to the orc Am and asked, "How long will this poison last?"

The orc Am chuckled and said, "She has the blood of the phoenix. With the strength of her holy power, she can probably only maintain it for half an hour, and the effect of the poison should also be halved."

"Is that so..." Tianhao then looked at Wei Shitian beside him: "Half an hour should be enough, right?"

Wei Shitian was the tall, imposing, and powerful man whose upper body was completely wrapped in bandages and who carried a ram's horn sickle.

His voice, muffled, came from beneath the bandages: "It won't take that long, a minute will suffice."

As he spoke, he dragged the huge ram's horn sickle, making a "clattering" sound on the ground, and slowly walked towards Lin Chishang.

The bluish-gray malevolent energy seeping from the gaps in the bandages on his tall body condensed into a phantom of a Taotie, causing the vegetation to wither rapidly wherever it passed, and terrifying malevolent energy coiled and entangled around him.

The power of the gluttonous beast!

Lin Chishang clearly sensed the other party's power, and his heart skipped a beat.

It's the power of a ferocious beast!

Is this person a descendant of the Taotie?

It seems the rumors circulating in the city were indeed not unfounded.

The Qiongqi Power and Chaos Power that appeared earlier were probably also the work of the gene company!

"I'll give you one last chance." Wei Shitian said slowly as he walked over, his voice muffled. "If you're willing to cooperate with the company, perhaps you can save your life."

"..."

Lin Chishang's eyes darkened.

She had heard her mother talk about gene companies before.

They were a group of lunatics who specialized in in vivo experiments and cell analysis!

As early as the ancient times, many people with the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan had fallen into their hands, and none of them had ever returned alive!

For someone like her, an extremely rare individual who still possesses 22% phoenix blood in this era, falling into the hands of a gene company clearly only has one possibility.

That's worse than death!

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, Lin Chishang clasped his hands together and channeled his holy power.

A golden phoenix-feather dress billowed in the air without any wind.

Golden fire-attribute holy energy surged and roared around her!

Tianhao sensed the holy power that Lin Chishang was unleashing and said with a playful smile, "Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Phoenix Clan with 22% bloodline, even at this level you can still unleash such strong holy power."

Orc Am: "After all, he's someone the chairman values."

"flame--!"

Lin Chishang gave a sharp shout.

She leaped into the air with her toes touching the ground, and her crimson skirt ignited with golden flames that seemed to burn the heavens.

Her eyes shone with golden light, and gilded patterns spread across her pupils, with ancient burning runes appearing in her eyes.

All the withered leaves within a radius of ten feet spontaneously combusted!

'Holy power is running low...'

'At times like these, we have no choice but to fight to the death.'

'Just zoom in!'

As Lin Chishang thought this, her long hair fluttering as she stared at Wei Shitian below, her fingers rapidly forming hand seals, her lips slightly parted as she chanted an incantation.

Golden flames erupted in the air, creating a terrifying sea of ​​fire that nearly ignited the entire sea of ​​clouds!

The sea of ​​clouds was boiling.

Eight pillars of fire pierced the sky, turning the twilight into a blood-red rainbow.

Liquid flames began to flow from Lin Chishang's pupils.

All that could be heard were the sharp cries of phoenixes!

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds, eight phoenixes ablaze with golden flames emerged from the blood-red clouds!

The burning clouds fell like fireballs, but stopped abruptly when they reached within ten meters of Lin Chishang—they were being reshaped by some kind of law.

Wei Shitian stopped in his tracks, raised his head slightly, and looked at the eight phoenixes in the sky. His two dark eyes, which were exposed outside the bandages, showed no emotion.

"Sacred Technique - Annihilation of the Eight Desolations!"

Lin Chishang pressed down with both hands.

Eight fiery phoenixes flew down and swooped down on Wei Shitian below!

Ten thousand beaks peck at the soul, and the eight wastelands return to silence!

The eight phoenixes, folding their wings, swooped down, their trajectories weaving a scorching net across the sky. The extreme heat caused the air to distort into a distorted, liquid state. A stream three hundred meters from the battlefield instantly vaporized, its billowing white mist igniting into a plasma fireball before it even rose into the air!

However, Wei Shitian stood still without moving.

They didn't seem to want to hide at all.

boom! ! !

The golden sea of ​​flames instantly engulfed Wei Shitian!

"You're being too arrogant..."

Lin Chishang said coldly.

Her "Extinction of the Eight Desolations Technique" unleashed flames with a temperature reaching 7300 degrees Celsius! That's higher than the surface temperature of the sun! It's enough to melt everything!

Moreover, her Phoenix Flame is a Soul-Devouring Flame, which even a Soul Emperor realm expert cannot withstand!

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chishang showed a look of astonishment.

The sea of ​​golden flames quickly receded, and Wei Shitian's figure soon reappeared within it.

He remained standing still, yet even the bandages on his body were not burned.

Golden flames swirled around him, yet seemed to be absorbed into his body, rapidly shrinking until they disappeared completely!

"What?!?"

Lin Chishang's pupils widened.

This guy can actually devour her Phoenix Flame?!?

Wei Shitian, who had devoured the golden flames, was now rapidly expanding his body and growing taller!

His height quickly increased from 1.9 meters to about 3 meters!

And his physical attributes also improved rapidly!

【系统：目标吸收了超凡能量，力量+338w、体力+446w、敏捷+191w、爆发+335w、魂力+400w......】

At this moment, Ye Ge was standing on a cliff face in the distance, watching the battle unfold.

"Oh ho..." Ye Ge touched his lower lip, muttering to himself thoughtfully, "Taotie, so it really is a devouring ability..."

......

I have something to do tomorrow (February 19th), so there will be no update for the day.
