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

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Serantis's scream pierced the sea of ​​fire, and the crimson flames etched spiderweb-like scorch marks onto his skin.

His entire body was engulfed in flames, like a dehydrated catfish writhing in a swamp, every muscle spasming and twitching under the licking of the flames. Before long, he lay there motionless...

"Sacred Law - The Cover of the Water!"

Mu Jiannan's two fingers emitted a blue light as he channeled the power of the Azure Dragon, and profound runes flowed from his fingertips.

The turquoise water sphere shield protected itself.

It also enveloped Night Song and White Blood Spirit, isolating them from the invasion of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire from the outside world.

The raging fire of the red lotus lasted for about five minutes before gradually subsiding.

Ye Ge looked around.

Within a radius of about one kilometer, everything was reduced to ashes.

Even the blood pools in the swamp had boiled and evaporated, turning into dry, cracked mud.

"Was that... the power of the ancient Vermilion Bird?" Mu Jiannan asked uncertainly, "But it felt a little different from holy power..."

“It’s the power of the corrupted Vermilion Bird,” Yege said.

Mu Jiannan frowned: "Demonized Vermilion Bird??"

Night Song chuckled softly: "Looks like we've been ambushed..."

Mu Jiannan's expression was serious: "Then let's get out of here quickly!"

Night Song: "I'm afraid it's too late." He looked ahead.

Five figures emerged from all directions.

Leading the group was Karl, who was wearing a white suit.

Wei Shitian and Lin Ye were among them.

There are two other people. One is a long-legged, mature woman with long red hair, the gene enhancer of the demonized Vermilion Bird—Zhu Yu.

One is a demon clan member with a full head of long white hair, a pointed chin, a pointed nose, and a very sinister and terrifying appearance—a Rakshasa.

"Someone from Genetron Health?" Mu Jiannan noticed the logo on Karl's white suit, a red and white capsule icon, which was the logo of Genetron Health.

Karl looked at Night Song with a smile: "Mr. Star Dragon, we've finally found you. You were right, it's indeed too late for you to leave."

With that, Karl snapped his fingers.

Upon receiving the signal, Lin Ye and Zhu Yu simultaneously joined their hands in a mudra, channeling the power of the Demonized White Tiger and the Demonized Vermilion Bird!

"Demonized Holy Technique - Vajra Flame Hell Barrier!"

They simultaneously poured their respective demonic ancient power into the ground.

Om-!

A hexagonal wall barrier suddenly rose from the ground!

Lin Ye's metallic ancient power took on a mercury-silver liquid texture, and his extraordinary power rapidly formed a wall in a metallic form.

Liquid metal crystallizes at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming the inner wall of a cage with a hexagonal prism structure.

Zhu Yu's ancient fire-attribute power was like molten glass threads, with flames constantly being compressed into a plasma state.

Tens of thousands of Vermilion Bird Fire Threads wandered between the metal molecules, forging the entire barrier into a translucent dark golden amber.

The extraordinary powers of the two intertwined, producing a spark-splattering effect similar to forging iron. The gold and fire elemental energies intertwined to form a dark golden energy flow, with lava-like ripples flowing on the surface.

The barrier completely sealed off Ye Ge and the others' escape route, trapping them inside!

Ye Ge's gaze swept across the dark gold barrier on all sides.

A combined technique using the powers of the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird...

While maintaining the barrier, Lin Ye secretly glanced at Xing Minglong.

Then, through the system, I silently sent him Zhu Yu and Luocha's information...

Yege saw the system message pop-up and received a message from Linye.

From the message sent by Lin Ye, he knew that the red-haired mature woman was named Zhu Yu, and the demon was named Luocha.

Lin Ye also gave him a brief explanation of their abilities...

Rakshasa, a member of the demon race, is also a player. In his previous life, he was ranked 19th in the world and is skilled in curse-type and mental interference abilities.

Zhu Yu, a player, was ranked 18th in the world in his previous life. He was a genetically enhanced human who had received a transplant of demonized Vermilion Bird cells. He was skilled in fire-attribute skills, just like Lin Chishang, a descendant of the Phoenix. However, the Vermilion Bird's skills were more offensive, with greater damage and range, while Lin Chishang's Phoenix abilities were more defensive and healing.

At the same time, the controllers of the sacred beast's power can cooperate and merge the attributes of each other's ancient power to produce changes in material form and create new skills.

The "Diamond Inferno Barrier" that Lin Ye and Zhu Yu used was clearly their combined ability, which combined the metal attribute of the White Tiger with the fire attribute of the Vermilion Bird to form an indestructible metal barrier wall.

Ye Ge thought to himself, "It's fortunate that I have Lin Ye as an undercover agent, otherwise it would probably take me a long time to figure out these people's abilities..."

At this moment, Wei Shitian and Luosha rushed up together!

Wei Shitian brandished his heavy scythe.

The demon Rakshasa's ten fingers rapidly grew sharp, pointed nails over thirty centimeters long, and the sinister grin on its face sent chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Mu Jiannan drew his sword without hesitation and charged forward.

A dozen or so illusory swords were drawn from their sheaths along with her longsword.

The phantom swords were incredibly fast, circling in the air before piercing Wei Shitian's chest at breakneck speed!

All the stabs were aimed at vital areas, yet Wei Shitian appeared completely unharmed.

Even the illusory sword that pierced Wei Shitian's body was gradually absorbed and devoured by his body!

Mu Jiannan was taken aback.

Wei Shitian swung his scythe backwards!

Mu Jiannan had no choice but to raise his sword to parry.

The demon Rakshasa also attacked from the right, scratching and clawing.

"Ding!"

"when!"

Sparks fly!

With his exceptional swordsmanship, Mu Jiannan first used his wrist to hook his longsword and deflect Wei Shitian's scythe, then quickly swept his longsword horizontally to block Luocha's attack.

However, although he blocked the physical attack, Mu Jiannan soon felt a strong discomfort in his body!

A pair of eerie and malevolent eyes suddenly appeared in her field of vision!

Those were two eerie green vertical pupils embedded in the fleshy nest, filled with evil and coldness!

Every time Mu Jiannan engaged in close combat with Wei Shitian, he felt as if his strength was being gradually drained away by him!

At the same time, he heard eerie and sinister whispers in his ear...

The demon Rakshasa let out a sinister laugh.

His mouth moved slightly, as if he were casting some strange sonic spell.

Mu Jiannan felt a splitting headache.

Her level was already lower than Wei Shitian and Luosha, and her ability to barely fight in close combat was entirely due to her superb swordsmanship as a sword saint and the blessing of the Azure Dragon's holy power.

But at this moment, Wei Shitian's power absorption and the mental interference from the demon Rakshasa were clearly already too much for her to bear!

"Be careful." Night Song transmitted her voice telepathically through the system: "That guy with his upper body wrapped in bandages can absorb all conventional external attacks and also absorb the power of nearby enemy units; that demon is skilled in mental interference and curses, be careful not to get marked by his curses!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiannan did not hesitate at all and immediately distanced himself from Wei Shitian and Luosha. Sure enough, his physical discomfort improved a lot.

At this moment, Lin Ye and Zhu Yu unleashed their combined skill once again.

Their hands formed hand seals almost simultaneously, and the phantom images of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird appeared behind them!

"Demonized Holy Art - Molten Gold Flowing Fire!"

The metal element of the White Tiger and the fire element of the Vermilion Bird merge once again.

A burst of molten gold flame roared towards us!
