Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 272 265: Casualties

Clusters of black fire gathered around the Celestial Demon True Form, making it look like a world-ending fiend.

A trace of confusion flickered in its blood-red eyes, followed by endless rage, cruelty, and tyranny.

To be sealed for thousands of years in utter darkness had been an unimaginable torture for him.

His gaze immediately fell upon the phantoms of other Demon Generals nearby and the seven rapidly collapsing Seven Emotions Puppets.

"You are the ones who freed me?"

The dark figure asked, its voice vibrating through the magnetic field.

"That is correct, Wei He, Erosion Black Fire, Divine General under the Primordial Ancestor 'Rainbow'."

"Several thousand years have passed. Our clan is now launching another grand plan. Once you have recovered some of your strength, come and see me."

"For now, this is your stage. Enjoy yourself to your heart's content."

The seven Seven Emotions Puppets gave the dark figure a faint smile. Then, their bodies completely collapsed, turning into pools of rotten flesh before being utterly annihilated by the immense magnetic field in a Rainbow Transformation, vanishing without a trace. Only the other Demon Generals remained to coordinate with Wei He.

'Enjoy myself to my heart's content?'

Wei He's blood-red eyes filled with tyranny. He turned his head toward the riverbank, where under the colorful city lights, the chaotic crowd looked like a swarm of pathetic ants.

Then, he saw the rows of modern skyscrapers standing tall against the city's night sky. He also spotted various modern vehicles and helicopters in the distance, all rapidly approaching after receiving the news.

'After several thousand years, humanity has made some progress after all.'

'But it's still completely useless!!'

A smile touched the corners of Wei He's mouth as he suddenly opened his cavernous maw wide.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

In an instant, countless black shadows shot out from his mouth, taking the form of Celestial Demons that floated by his side.

This was the remnant power of his own legion, preserved from before he was sealed and hidden deep within his Celestial Demon True Form.

"Go! Find suitable prey!!"

With a wave of his great hand, the Celestial Demons shot toward the shore, swiftly vanishing into various individuals within the crowded throng.

The next moment, Wei He himself shot forth, transforming into a shadow that streaked toward the bank.

Min Tao was a professional bodybuilder. Standing six-foot-two with extremely well-developed muscles, he had won multiple national awards. To an ordinary person, standing before him felt like facing a giant beast, which had earned him the nickname "The Beast" in his circle.

Although he didn't practice martial arts, his physical constitution was exceptionally powerful, even comparable to a weaker C-Level Martial Artist. He wasn't from Nanjiang; he had just come to tour the city with his girlfriend. They had come specifically to see the famous Nan Heng River fireworks, never expecting to encounter something like this.

Amid the chaotic crowd, Min Tao used his massive body to shield his girlfriend, pushing with all his might against the surging mob. His physique was powerful, but his progress through the crowd was nowhere near as fast as Lin Heng's. This was because he was a bodybuilder. Bodybuilding focuses on training each muscle in isolation, meaning they exerted force individually. Therefore, despite his powerful constitution, he couldn't unleash the same terrifying explosive force as a Martial Artist of comparable strength.

"A Tao, you have to protect me! You have to protect me..."

his fair-skinned, beautiful girlfriend said, trembling from head to toe.

"It's okay. It'll be okay. I'm here..."

He comforted his girlfriend, whom he held protectively in his arms. But before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly went rigid.

The girl huddled in his embrace glanced up at him uneasily, only to be met by a pair of scarlet eyes and a savage smile.

CRACK!!

The next moment, to her utter shock and disbelief, the boyfriend nicknamed "The Beast," who had always been so incredibly gentle with her, clamped his huge hand around her fair, slender neck and lifted her into the air as if she were a little chick.

"Not bad. A truly strong body. Frail humanity has really changed quite a bit over the years."

"Min Tao"—no, he should now be called the Demon General Wei He—spoke slowly.

A hint of pleasure appeared on his face as he watched the girl's own flush red, her large, watery eyes welling with a complex mix of confusion, pain, disbelief, and terror.

"Are you surprised? For us, the Mental Power generated by strong negative human emotions is the finest food. Normally, we would farm you like livestock, using various methods to create these emotional fluctuations. That's the sustainable approach."

"However, you seem to be out of luck. I'm in urgent need of restoring my power, so I'm afraid I'll have to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."

"So, in the final moments of your tender, fragile life, please unleash the most intense pain, fear, and despair you can muster. That way, your life will have more value instead of ending like a mere ant's. Wouldn't you agree?"

A faint smile hung on Wei He's face. The muscles of what was once Min Tao's body contorted violently under the influence of some power, making him look utterly terrifying.

He slowly extended a finger toward the girl's face, pushing it bit by bit through her mouth and into her throat.

Intense terror wracked the girl's body. Admired since childhood for her looks and family background, she had never witnessed such a horrifying scene.

Suddenly, the whites of her eyes rolled back. She stopped trembling and drew her last breath.

She had literally been scared to death.

"You performed very well. Such a good girl."

Wei He seemed to absorb some special magnetic field from the girl's body. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he gently closed her eyes and laid her corpse on the ground.

"Now then, who's next?"

Then, he turned and looked at the surrounding crowd, who were screaming in panic at his terrifying actions.

「Meanwhile, on Zixiao Mountain.」

Having completed his Cultivation, Zhou Yuanjue had not left Zixiao Mountain. Instead, he was making small talk with the Chief Commissioner.

Suddenly, he felt the Chief Commissioner's magnetic field jolt.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yuanjue asked with a frown. 'For the Chief Commissioner to lose his composure like this, something major must have happened.'

"The Celestial Demons have made their move. A Sealing Realm Image hidden in a bustling downtown area has been broken, and a Celestial Demon, suspected to be First Generation Level, has been released. It has triggered a massive riot and caused heavy casualties. The news can no longer be contained."

"From the descriptions, the mastermind who executed this plan to break the Seal is likely the same one who attacked you at Songyang University. We all thought their target was the Spirit Guardians in the Northwest. We fell for their feint," the Chief Commissioner said in a low, heavy voice.

"The Seal was broken? In a downtown area? Which city?"

Zhou Yuanjue's brow furrowed sharply at his words. 'He knew the potential impact of this event, the destruction it would cause if not handled properly. The situation in Donghua is excellent right now; this is a setback I absolutely don't want to see.'

"Tianlu Prefecture. Nanjiang City."

the Chief Commissioner said slowly.
