Chapter 74: Demon Experiment

……

"That Mo Fan..." Mu Ningxue began, hesitating slightly.

No matter what, Mo Fan was a friend they had known since childhood, and besides, regarding that incident back then, she was the one who had wronged Mo Fan.

"Rest assured, I'm not that petty."

As the words fell, Lv Cheng vanished from where he stood.

"Teleportation?" Jiang Yi's expression stiffened.

The Space Element he had awakened less than a year ago had actually reached the High level?

What kind of speed was this?

"He..."

"Careful!"

Seeing Lv Cheng leave, Jiang Yi, unwilling to be captured without a fight, took advantage of the moment Mu Nujiao was distracted to launch Ice Lock and restrain her.

"Don't move!" Jiang Yi controlled Mu Nujiao from behind.

Looking at the frantic Jiang Yi, Mu Ningxue only felt that this person was pitiful; knowing full well she was being used as a blade, she still deceived herself.

"Let her go," Mu Ningxue said indifferently.

"Otherwise, when A-Cheng returns, you will die a miserable death."

"Indeed, a Demon wouldn't care how loyal you are, little girl."

An aged voice suddenly rang out. The three of them felt a jolt in their hearts and turned to look.

They saw an old man dressed in purple-black Daoist robes, holding a withered wood staff, with a full head of white hair, who had appeared behind them at some unknown time.

"Don't be nervous, little girl, I am not your enemy," Daolong said.

"Who are you?" Mu Ningxue asked vigilantly.

Judging by Jiang Yi's expression, this old man was not from the Military, and furthermore, she had never seen this kind of attire, nor had she even heard of it.

Daolong paused, "For the moment, I am his number one follower."

Chief Black Qi Wizard—it sounded nice, but in reality, he was just a follower.

However, being able to attain eternal life and witness these novel forms of Magic, he accepted being a follower!

"A follower?" Mu Ningxue was stunned.

"A-Cheng's?"

"Who else?" Daolong waved the staff in his hand, and black shadows at Jiang Yi's feet immediately spread into several black tentacles, binding her up.

"Shadow Magic... it really has great compatibility with Black Qi Magic," Daolong was quite satisfied with his first attempt.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such hobbies?"

Lv Cheng's figure returned rapidly, his hands manipulating gravity to control the unconscious Mo Fan and Lu Nian, who had only half a breath left.

Looking at Jiang Yi, who was bound by Daolong's dark tentacles, Lv Cheng's expression was somewhat strange.

Could it be that this old thing had such hobbies?

Tentacles? Binding? Play?

"Hiss! I didn't expect you to be so un-old-fashioned..."

Daolong's face turned black, and he released the restraint on Jiang Yi, "I am a Black Qi Wizard! I have no interest in anything other than Magic!"

"Ah, yes, yes, no interest..."

Lv Cheng placed Lu Nian and Mo Fan on the ground.

"I'm serious!" Daolong had black lines on his face.

"Ah, yes, yes, serious..." Lv Cheng waved his hand, and Jingyun, who had been guarding high in the sky, flew down rapidly.

"A-Xue, Jiaojiao, Jingyun will take you out. As for the matters here..."

"After you get out, just say that Lu Nian took Mo Fan and flew into Dongting Lake, and that I followed in to save him."

"Mm." Mu Ningxue nodded without asking further.

Mu Nujiao wanted to say something but stopped, yet she still followed Lv Cheng's arrangements and moved the students on the ground onto Jingyun's back.

After finishing all this, Mu Nujiao hugged Lv Cheng, "Be careful."

"Rest assured," Lv Cheng helped Mu Nujiao tidy up her disheveled hair.

"Go back and rest; I'll be back in a while."

Mu Nujiao took a deep breath, lifted her head, stood on tiptoe, and like a dragonfly skimming the water, their lips touched and parted instantly.

After it was done, Mu Nujiao turned and fled rapidly, jumping onto Jingyun's back with a blushing face.

Before Mu Ningxue could radiate any chill, Jingyun flew away from the scene rapidly.

Watching Jingyun go, Lv Cheng turned back to look at Jiang Yi, "Where are the Demon Element test subjects?"

Jiang Yi was stunned, "You... what do you mean?"

"Just give me the things... By the way, between you and Lu Nian, who knows more about the Demon Element experiments?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Me!" Jiang Yi's expression tightened.

"I have been following up on all the Demon Element experiments! The Military Commander didn't participate much!"

"Are there many of those Demon Element test subjects?" Lv Cheng asked.

"I have five more here!" Jiang Yi anxiously took out all the Blood Li Zi on her person.

Lv Cheng took the five Blood Li Zi, "Are there any more?"

"No, but I have the experimental data on hand; I can manufacture more Blood Li Zi!" Jiang Yi said.

"Let's experiment first," Daolong said.

"I need reference samples to see the situation."

"No problem." Lv Cheng nodded, turned his head to look at the half-dead Lu Nian, raised his right hand, manipulated gravity to lift him up, and then manipulated a Blood Li Zi to float in front of Lu Nian's chest.

"Wait a minute! What are you doing?" Jiang Yi said anxiously.

"An experiment, of course." Lv Cheng manipulated gravity and crushed the Blood Li Zi; a blood mist exploded and rapidly drilled into Lu Nian's body.

"Ah!!!"

Parasitized by the blood mist, Lu Nian let out a painful roar, his entire skeleton began to grow wildly, and in less than a minute, he transformed into an incredibly terrifying monster.

"Ugh-woo!!!"

Transformed into a beast, Lu Nian's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light as he stared fixedly at Lv Cheng.

Although he had lost his reason, his final obsession and hatred drove Lu Nian to concentrate all his killing intent on Lv Cheng alone.

"Your breath is too foul." Lv Cheng looked disgusted and waved his hand, throwing Lu Nian away.

Boom—!

The massive impact force easily shattered several high-rise buildings; Lu Nian, who had been full of vigor a second ago and wanted to tear Lv Cheng apart, was now lying in the ruins, half-dead.

"You..." Jiang Yi looked at Lv Cheng in a daze.

Her heart was filled with horror.

What kind of power is this?

A monster transformed by a High-level Mage using a Blood Li Zi is difficult for even a Super-level Mage to deal with!

Yet, such a monster is like a toy in Lv Cheng's hands?

"You were too heavy-handed." Daolong looked speechless.

"If you beat him to death, how am I supposed to study the sample?"

Lv Cheng pointed at the twenty-plus unconscious Military Mages on the ground, "Samples? Aren't there plenty more here?"

Daolong was stunned, "That's true."

With this little girl here, enough Blood Li Zis can be produced.

"No, these are all Intermediate Mages," Daolong said.

"There is only one High-level Mage sample, don't waste it; the experimental conditions might be different for each stage."

"Fair enough." Lv Cheng nodded, raised his right hand, aimed it at Lu Nian's direction, and clenched it slightly; a massive, irresistible gravity erupted, sucking Lu Nian back.

Lv Cheng touched the monster Lu Nian, whose limbs were smashed into a lump, with some disgust, and activated the Horse Talisman.

The next instant, the half-dead Lu Nian was full of vigor once again.

Daolong's eye twitched, "You are really extravagant with that Horse Talisman."

Corresponding to the Yang Li born from Shendu, possessing the same abilities as Shendu, and the Yin-Yang Balance Contract—these Demons really dare to play with fire!

"You guys..." Jiang Yi was stunned.

What kind of power is this?

It's not Healing Magic!

It's instant recovery!

Is it the causal restoration of the Chaos Element?

Isn't that a Super-level Magic?

Is Lv Cheng a Super-level Mage?!

"Ugh-woo!!!"

"Shut up!" Lv Cheng turned his head, and a terrifying high-heat ray erupted from his eyes, piercing through Lu Nian's body in an instant.

"Let's go, find a quiet place and start our experiment."

Lv Cheng waved his hand, activated Teleportation, and brought everyone to the center of Dongting Lake.

"Let's see the power of this thing first." Lv Cheng curiously threw Lu Nian into the group of demons below.

He is able to control Lu Nian by relying on Zhou Lan's Gravity Magic; this magic is very shameless—as long as one takes the initiative, unless the opponent has ten times the strength of the user, they can't even think about breaking free.

Among the Eight Demons, only Shendu and Bogang can rely on strength to break free from Zhou Lan's gravity restraint; the other demons cannot do it, and even Basha, who can turn into water, would be firmly locked by Zhou Lan's gravity sphere.

Lu Nian's current state belongs to neither demons nor humans, so his level cannot be judged by his aura.

Therefore, it must be tested in practice.
