Chapter 350: Pu Lie Turns into a Demon

"Lord Vulkan, I am Dabeiwenqiao, a warrior loyal to the Emperor. Are you going to destroy the gate opened by the heretic?"

Dabeiwenqiao fired another bolt of Psionic Lightning, wiping out the Demons surrounding Vulkan, then approached Vulkan holding the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd and spoke slowly.

"Yes, but I discovered there were still residents here, which delayed me for some time."

Vulkan looked at Dabeiwenqiao, who was slightly shorter than himself, and pointed his finger at the dozens of Outer City residents behind him.

"In that case, I will go first to deal with the gate opened by the heretic."

Dabeiwenqiao looked at the Outer City residents behind Vulkan, his angular helmet turned slightly, and with a sweep of the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand, he struck down the surging Demons, which vanished into wisps of Black Qi.

Just then, hundreds of Modian Iron Guard in bright uniforms held Laser Guns, firing at the Demons approaching them, and moved toward Vulkan's side.

"Lord Vulkan, Lord Astartes, the Modian Iron Guard awaits your orders!"

The leading Modian Sergeant saw the two heavyweight lords standing before him and spoke immediately.

"These civilians are left to you; he and I will go in to finish off those Demons."

Vulkan did not hesitate in the slightest and handed the civilians he had saved to this Modian Sergeant.

"Yes, I will assign a few soldiers to protect them!"

Dabeiwenqiao did not get involved; the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand swung continuously as he began to approach the location of the Hell Gate.

On the other side, Pu Lie, who was channeling Black Qi into the Hell Gate, felt a trace of surprise on his face after sensing the Spiritual Power attacks coming from outside from time to time.

"Whose Spiritual Power is this? It actually has such great power. That shouldn't be; the people in the Military District should all be busy fighting the Zerg right now. How could there be someone in the Outer City?"

Just at this moment, Pu Lie suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from the Hell Gate, rapidly absorbing the Black Qi within his body, while the Believers around him also had their lives wither away rapidly due to this powerful suction, and even their corpses turned into wisps of Black Qi and were sucked into the Hell Gate.

"What is going on? Master! Didn't you say the opening of the Hell Gate would not endanger my life?"

Pu Lie's face no longer held its previous composure; a trace of panic appeared on his face. He wanted to withdraw his Black Qi but could not resist the power of the Hell Gate.

The continuously surging Demons did not care about Pu Lie at this moment, scrambling to rush out.

"No! No! No! It shouldn't be like this! There must be something wrong somewhere, I am not reconciled..."

Before Pu Lie could finish his words, his entire body turned into a wisp of Black Qi and vanished into the Hell Gate.

Just when Pu Lie was in total despair, feeling his life had reached its end, strands of Black Qi wrapped around Pu Lie's body.

It is unknown how much time passed before Pu Lie's consciousness gradually recovered. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, only to be stunned by the scene before him—he was actually in a blood-red world!

Looking around, this world seemed to have been soaked in fresh blood, and everywhere one looked were piles of bones like mountains. Those pale bones appeared exceptionally eerie and terrifying under the reflection of the scarlet light, making one's hair stand on end. Blood flowed across the earth like rivers, gathering into bottomless blood pools, emitting waves of pungent, fishy stench.

Demons of all shapes and sizes with ferocious faces emerged from all directions, and they rushed madly toward that deep red Hell Gate like a tide.

Pu Lie was somewhat bewildered and wanted to reach out to touch his cheek.

But when he extended his hands, a chill instantly rose from his spine. His originally normal hands had somehow turned into a pair of sharp Claws!

Pu Lie shuddered all over, frightened by this sudden change, and his hands trembled involuntarily. In his panic, he caught sight of a pool of blood on the ground not far away. His inner doubt drove him to scramble toward that pool of blood.

When he finally approached the blood and looked down, the blurry figure reflected in the water made his heart sink to the bottom once more. He saw that the figure was making the exact same movements as him.

"I... have I turned into a Demon?"

"Hey, newcomer, are you Lord Falke's servant?"

While Pu Lie was in a daze, a Demon about 7 meters tall with a pair of horns on its head shouted at Pu Lie.

"Yes, I am that lord's servant."

"Alright, that lord told me that after the Hell Gate opened, I would assimilate you into our kin. Now, you are also a Demon; you can go into that Human city and slaughter wantonly."

This Demon waved the staff in its hand, pointed at Pu Lie in the void, and spoke.

Before Pu Lie could say anything, he only felt his body's strength explode, and the wings on his back flapped according to his thoughts. Soon, Pu Lie mastered his new body, but his Spiritual Power seemed unusable; in its place was a type of Black Qi used by Demons.

Seeing the Hell Gate standing open not far away, groups of Demons were flying out laughing.

Although he had lost his Human flesh, at least he had gained a more powerful body now, so it wasn't a total loss. Speaking of which, since his body was so strong, had that aspect also become...

Thinking of this, Pu Lie looked down, and his happy face instantly collapsed; his mouth slowly opened, revealing sharp teeth in his oral cavity.

Wait, where is his little brother? It's gone?! It's gone!

Pu Lie instantly felt as if the sky had collapsed, and his gaze became dazed.

The horned Demon holding the staff saw Pu Lie's expression become somewhat strange and asked.

"Newcomer, what's wrong with you? Why the long face?"

Hearing this, Pu Lie looked at this Demon as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and asked.

"Do we Demons not have that?"

The horned Demon was confused by Pu Lie's inexplicable words, opened its mouth, exhaled a foul breath, and said to Pu Lie.

"What this and that? What exactly are you talking about? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Pu Lie pointed below himself and said.

"Do Demons not have this?"

"You mean that? You indeed don't have that. After all, you are a low-level Demon and don't have that right; only high-level Demons have that right."

The horned Demon followed Pu Lie's Claw to look below Pu Lie, and only then did it suddenly realize and say to Pu Lie.

"Then how can one raise their level?"

"Slaughter, eating the flesh and blood of other creatures, all will raise your level. Otherwise, why do you think so many Demons are scrambling to pass through the Hell Gate? They all want to raise their own levels."

Hearing this news, Pu Lie no longer hesitated and followed the crowd of Demons out of the Hell Gate.
