Chapter 225 One Against Two, The Transformation of Demons

After the two brothers finished discussing their strategy, Situ Jian quickly retreated, leaving space for the two of them to fight. This did not mean that he did not want to intervene, but rather that he was focused on providing support from behind.

This is related to the magical techniques they practice.

When they joined the demonic cultivators, Situ Zhan was strong from a young age, so he focused on cultivating his physical body, while Situ Jian concentrated on cultivating magic.

But this so-called master had no good intentions. Due to his advanced age and the damage to his physical body caused by years of fighting, he began to think about possessing another's body.

As for the candidate... naturally it would be Situ Jian, who has better natural talent.

Situ Zhan, on the other hand, was cultivating a human puppet, so he practiced secret techniques day and night and nourished his body with various spiritual objects so that he could serve as a protector for a period of time after being possessed.

Fortunately, the two brothers noticed the old man's actions in time, thus escaping danger.

Seeing Situ Zhan wielding the blood axe and slashing at him, Zhang Lingyu did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, he used his flying shuttle to dodge back and forth in mid-air, seeking an opportunity to fight.

It's not that he can't win, but that once he gets entangled with Situ Jian, he'll easily find an opportunity to strike.

Seeing the demonic cultivators far away, the Soul-Devouring Bees, which had not yet finished devouring Luo Xuan's corpse, reluctantly turned back and followed orders to return to provide support.

Two Soul-Devouring Bee Queens led most of the swarm to harass Situ Jian, while the rest flew back to his side, tightly enveloping him and forming a jet-black armor.

The insect control technique that Master Xuanhao gave him was quite exquisite, and his insect control skills have improved dramatically in the past two years.

Thanks to the enhanced communication with the bee colony, we no longer need to pay much attention to it; a simple command is all it takes for the colony to carry out the instructions automatically.

After doing all this, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner again and released all the ghosts inside.

In an instant, a thick ghostly fog enveloped the area once more, with hundreds of ghostly creatures weaving through the mist, greedily eyeing their prey.

In addition, the spirit insect pouch at his waist opened again, and several tiny, almost invisible spirit insects quickly disappeared into the mist.

Even though Zhang Lingyu was very confident, he still gave it his all.

"This is such a hassle."

Seeing this series of actions, the Situ brothers felt their scalps tingle and suddenly realized that they might not be able to hold out for much longer. But now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

The burly man slapped his storage bag, from which a snowy shadow flew out and landed on the ground, transforming into an old man in a blood-red robe. Judging from his blank expression, he was undoubtedly a blood puppet.

As for his identity in life... he was their master.

There was another one in his younger brother Situ Jian's storage bag. When he avenged the destruction of his family, that demonic cultivator also could not escape the fate of being refined into a blood puppet.

With the help of the two blood puppets, their pressure was greatly reduced.

Situ Jian frowned slightly as he watched the two figures chasing each other in mid-air, thinking to himself:

"My brother has a strong physical body, but his escape techniques are not good enough. We definitely can't catch up with him. Right now, this person's methods are not very clear, so we need to be cautious and not rush forward rashly."

He wanted to test the waters, so he held a blood needle in his sleeve and swung it out as soon as he saw the opportunity. The needle was extremely fast and flashed red light for only a moment in the ghostly mist before it approached the man.

Zhang Lingyu's attention was mostly on him, and her divine sense had already seen him clearly. With a light sweep, a dense burst of Burning Yuan Heart Flame erupted from her sleeve, instantly enveloping the blood needle.

The flames, though seemingly hastily unleashed, posed a tremendous obstacle, and their domineering nature seemed intent on incinerating the blood needles.

Of course, this flame is not a spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and the caster is not a Golden Core cultivator, so he does not have that ability yet, but he can still cause damage.

Situ Jian dared not be careless. The blood needle was connected to his mind and spirit, and if it was damaged, he would be affected. So he quickly cast a spell to recall it.

Despite numerous difficulties, the magical artifact eventually escaped.

He quickly put it away, and was about to cast another spell to interfere when he saw a queen bee leading a swarm of bees through the blood puppet's blockade and heading straight for them.

Helpless, he could only deal with the immediate trouble first. As for his elder brother, he could only hope that he would not be greedy for credit and act rashly.

......

"Crackling and popping..."

"boom!"

Intense thunder and fire exploded in Situ Zhan's chest. The big man groaned and immediately dispelled the flames on his arm. Upon closer inspection, he saw that a large area of ​​it had been burned black.

The domineering power of the Burning Yuan Heart Flame, combined with the restraint of lightning on demonic cultivators, made him suffer terribly. If it weren't for his strong physical body, he would have been knocked down long ago.

Because of their different cultivation paths, his spells could hardly hit Zhang Lingyu, and he couldn't catch up with her using escape techniques either. Even if he could sometimes get close, he still couldn't gain any advantage.

There's no other reason than that the other party's physical body is no worse than his own.

"They neither attack nor retreat; aren't they deliberately humiliating me?"

Situ Zhan looked at the man who stepped forward, a hint of ferocity in his eyes. He suddenly took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it, then closed his eyes again, as if preparing some kind of spell.

"It seems we'll have to use that forbidden technique."

Situ Jian, standing in the distance, had a complicated expression. The cultivation technique his elder brother practiced was obtained by their master from an ancient cultivation cave, and it was still incomplete.

It contains a large number of secret techniques and methods for cultivating human puppets.

This forbidden technique is called Blood Demon Transformation, which can transform a cultivator into a demon for a short time, greatly enhancing their physical body, speed, and magical power.

There is one drawback: the caster will be mentally unstable during this period, and if they do not revert to their original state over a long period of time, they will be completely transformed into a mindless demon.

"roar!"

Situ Zhan roared to the sky, and dense blood patterns began to emerge from his body, converging towards his brow. Something seemed to be wriggling and struggling to break out from his shoulders.

"Finally, they've gone all out..."

Zhang Lingyu provoked him in order to help the Thousand-Faced Illusionary Butterfly drive him into madness and expose his weakness. Now that the goal has been achieved, the result seems to be unsatisfactory.

Having unleashed the Blood Demon Transformation, Situ Zhan's cultivation has already broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage and is steadily climbing towards its peak. If he succeeds, there will be great trouble.

Thus, the six [Mysterious Thunder] flying swords flew out in succession, forming the Azure Lotus Sword Formation in mid-air to accumulate power, while simultaneously releasing all the Burning Yuan Heart Flames in one breath, tightly enveloping them.

The burly man, scorched by the flames, let out a painful roar, but still showed no sign of stopping.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but once he used this technique, he would be unable to make any moves unless he completed the transformation. Therefore, Situ Jian would try to cover him every time he used it.

"Brother!"

Seeing the figure struggling desperately in the flames, Situ Jian's eyes turned bloodshot. He broke free from the swarm of bees and transformed into a streak of blood as he charged towards Zhang Lingyu.

Unfortunately, a rope appeared out of nowhere and bound him tightly, greatly reducing his speed and causing his magical power to continuously drain away.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, he hardened his heart and directly urged the two blood puppets to break free from their restraints and fly into the air.

"This distance should be enough!"

The Blood Puppet was still some distance from Zhang Lingyu, but the lightning and flames were too intense, making it impossible for him to advance any further. However, he was already quite satisfied.

The two blood puppet bodies began to expand continuously, and cracks began to appear, as if they had boundless power that they wanted to unleash.

That's right, he's going to make the blood puppet self-destruct!

Even if the explosion wasn't powerful enough to seriously injure Zhang Lingyu, it would at least force him to distract himself, and the aftershocks might even cause some injuries.

"This Situ Jian is quite generous."

Zhang Lingyu's eyelids twitched as she watched, and she quickly retreated. To avoid being injured, she had no choice but to withdraw the Burning Yuan Heart Flame to protect herself.

However, the two blood puppets in the early stages of Foundation Establishment were quite powerful, so he threw out several more talismans and small black shields.

"boom!"

Once all these actions were completed, the Blood Puppet finally exploded, and a thick blood mist enveloped the entire area. Those ghosts and Soul-Eating Bees that did not have time to dodge were all turned into black smoke.

Originally, Situ Zhan was also within the blast radius, but unexpectedly, as soon as the blood mist touched him, it immediately turned into a torrent and was absorbed by his body.

The skin that had been burned by the flames slowly began to grow back.

The commotion also attracted the attention of the two men who were still fighting in the distance. Ouyang Miaoyan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the two brothers would have such methods.

If I were to fight them in the end, I would certainly die.

"Fortunately, this item has already been used..."

She broke out in a cold sweat, trying to reassure herself. Seeing Jiang Shuyan's calm demeanor, she sneered, "Junior sister, your little lover is about to perish, aren't you worried at all?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. Junior Sister, there's no rush..."

Jiang Shuyan smiled and said, "That fellow Daoist's skills are among the best in our group, how could he perish so easily?"

"You should worry about yourself, senior sister."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Miaoyan's face grew increasingly pale. A sudden scream came from afar, forcing her to look away. Jiang Shuyan, who had been somewhat dejected, immediately began to fight back.

As for the scream, it came from Situ Jian.

After the demonic cultivator detonated his blood puppet to help his elder brother escape, he intended to flee again. However, the binding ropes were getting tighter and tighter, and with the ghosts and the Soul-Devouring Bee Queen surrounding him, he could hardly move more than a few steps even with all his might.

In fact, this was not enough to kill him; the real culprit was the long-accumulated Azure Lotus Sword Formation.

The sword formation was originally intended to kill Situ Zhan in one fell swoop, but due to this unexpected turn of events, it could no longer stop the completion of the Blood Demon Transformation. With the idea that one less person meant one less threat, Zhang Lingyu decided to deal with Situ Jian first.

The six [Mysterious Thunder] flying swords have been nurtured in the Thunder Accumulation Pool for the past two years, accumulating an unknown amount of thunderous power.

One strike would kill even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator who was already injured.

Zhang Lingyu appeared in the distance. The explosion of the blood puppet was no small matter, and the aftershocks still caused him some injuries. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured and recovered after a few days of seclusion.

He did not look at Situ Jian in the sea of ​​lightning; apart from a few charred and tattered marks on his robes, the man had turned to dust.

The person we should really focus on now is Situ Zhan.

Looking at the burly man who was about to transform into a demon, Zhang Lingyu suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to the Blood Demon Mighty Body who had cultivated to perfection.

After the Blood Demon's Mighty Body is perfected, it can transform into a three-headed, six-armed form. The latter only has two more arms, but it is still stronger in terms of power.

"Since they both came from the State of Chu, perhaps they are related, but judging from his delirious state, it must be a side effect of the forbidden technique."

Furthermore, he could clearly sense that Situ Zhan's life force was rapidly draining away, which was similar to the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Unfortunately, the situation left little time for reflection. Due to Situ Jian's interference, the other party had already barely completed their transformation.

Fortunately, the injuries left by the Burning Yuan Heart Flame were still there, and they were not too difficult to heal.

With a thought, Zhang Lingyu sent the six [Mysterious Thunder] flying swords into the air again to form a sword formation and begin to accumulate power, while he himself accumulated and used the Burning Yuan Heart Flame to interfere.

The demon that Situ Zhan had transformed into was fearless, braving the scorching flames to rush forward and kill him.

He should have had a sliver of consciousness, but the death of his brothers before his eyes consumed him with extreme rage, transforming him into a demon from which he could never return.

Now, all that drives him is the obsession with killing Zhang Lingyu.

"I...want...you to die."

After gurgling a few words in its throat, the demon grabbed at its four arms at the same time, revealing not only the blood axe from before, but also magical weapons such as swords, spears, seals, and clubs.

With a heavy slash of the blood axe, the sea of ​​fire blocking his path split in two, and taking advantage of the opening, it transformed into a streak of blood light and hurtled towards the figure in the distance.

Zhang Lingyu wasn't too flustered. Although the demonized Situ Zhan had increased his speed, he hadn't used his full strength just now.

Now that the opponent's physical body is far stronger than mine, a head-on confrontation is definitely not an option; I must continue to wear them down.

The shuttle dragged him away quickly, while the ghosts and bees that had scattered earlier surrounded him again, tearing and biting at his massive body.

Situ Zhan felt no pain, but these annoying things obstructed his vision, forcing him to wave his four arms back and forth to drive them away.

After finally managing to drive them away, they discovered that they were surrounded by bursts of spiritual light. Looking around, they realized that they had fallen into a formation.

At that time, the formation was not enough to kill him; at most, it served as a barrier.

In just a few breaths, the formation was broken by the swings of the Blood Axe and other magical artifacts. The moment the formation broke, what awaited them was not Zhang Lingyu, but the familiar sea of ​​fire.

"A mere trifle...a trivial skill!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Situ Zhan's eyes as he tried to repeat his old trick, but this time the flames were layered upon each other, seemingly endless.

He swung his sword and cleaved through one layer, and the next layer immediately filled in. The flames that were shattered by the sword energy did not dissipate, but instead twisted and condensed in mid-air, turning into streaks of crimson fire snakes that snaked up his arms and ankles.

Where the snake coiled, the skin was scorched with black lines, sizzling and emitting wisps of white smoke.

He tried to shake it off with his magic, but the fire serpent clung to his flesh like a leech, the intense heat seeping into his body through the wound and burning his bone marrow.

The scorching flames made his already ferocious face even uglier, and in order to heal his injuries, he had to keep drawing blood and energy from him.

Despite its growing power, its foundation has been almost completely hollowed out.

This fire allowed Elder Yu Hai to dominate for a time; how could it be an empty reputation?

Zhang Lingyu looked up at the Azure Lotus Sword Formation that had been building up for a long time and felt that the time was about right. He pointed his finger and the sword formation crashed into the sea of ​​fire with rolling thunder!

"I'll give you a quick death!"
