Chapter 353: Where did this body of yours come from?

"Heh, I never expected there to be such a powerful warrior among humans; this truly surprises me. How about I give you a choice? Swear loyalty to me, or die!"

At this moment, Lu Wang's expression was like a different person, a wicked smile appearing at the corners of his mouth as he looked at Taigehe'er not far away with contempt.

Taigehe'er did not answer; the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand responded, slashing toward Lu Wang with lightning speed. Seeing an attack that exceeded his predictions, Lu Wang could only transform his body into Black Qi once more, disappearing before Taigehe'er and leaving behind only one sentence.

"Is this your answer? Wait until I finish dealing with matters regarding this body, then I will come to settle things with you!"

Seeing the residence where the Black Qi had vanished, Taigehe'er followed closely behind, kicking open the tightly shut door and smashing through the wall along with it.

"Heretic!"

Sensing the traces of lingering Black Qi, Taigehe'er found a room that looked like a study. His body smashed directly through the door and the door frame, leaving a large hole protruding in the wall.

"Hm? There is a secret chamber?"

Taigehe'er looked at the spot on the floor where the lingering Black Qi had vanished and muttered to himself in confusion. The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in his hand had already slashed down. This time, Taigehe'er clearly felt the abnormality of this floor; it felt somewhat hard to cut, but that did not stop him from opening it.

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd swung again, and the Spirit Pattern on this floor was instantly destroyed by Taigehe'er's psionic power. The floor cracked in response, revealing a secret passage.

Taigehe'er looked at this secret passage, from which thick Black Qi was emanating.

"Heretic! Prepare to die!"

Taigehe'er walked into the secret passage with a low tone, the pale blue light on his helmet looking into the passage. The deeper he went, the more he could feel that powerful aura.

Under the helmet, Taigehe'er's expression became somewhat grave. The Black Qi currently displayed by the Heretic inside was very strong, and he should have also sensed that he had entered the secret passage.

"Are you in such a rush to come in and die? Then I shall use your blood to start my game!"

A mocking voice came from the end of the secret passage, accompanied by the collapse of the passage ahead, and the sound gradually faded away.

Seeing the Heretic's voice fade away and facing the collapsed passage in front, Taigehe'er could only turn back to the residence. He discovered that nearly half of the Noble District had been razed to the ground, with thick Black Qi everywhere, along with some Humans who had been devoured by the Black Qi.

"Yo, you've come out? I thought you would dig open the secret passage to chase me?"

Just as Taigehe'er was locking onto the Heretic, a mocking voice came from above, accompanied by a violent gust of wind and Black Qi, pressing the ground around Taigehe'er down by another meter.

Taigehe'er thrust the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd into the ground with his right hand and opened his Psionic Barrier to block the Black Qi approaching him.

"It seems you don't like my way of greeting you, then how about this?"

Taigehe'er saw a shockwave formed by Black Qi rushing toward him. He gripped the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd tightly with both hands and swung it forward with force. The pale blue Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd collided with the Black Qi, and the remaining buildings behind Taigehe'er were all blown apart by the terrifying force.

Taigehe'er was also shaken back dozens of steps by the powerful force before he could barely steady his figure.

At this time, Taigehe'er saw a Heretic flying in the sky with wings growing on its back, but its body was still a Human shell. It was about 3.7 meters tall, holding a blood-colored Greatsword in its right hand, with fresh blood constantly dripping from the blade.

"Are you really a Human? How could a Human possibly have such powerful equipment and strength?"

"I am a Grey Knight! A warrior loyal to the Emperor. Is that all the ability you Heretics have?"

"Hahaha, interesting. Just right to use you to test how this body of mine is!"

This Demon laughed loudly, its figure flying rapidly toward Taigehe'er, the blood-colored Greatsword in its hand aiming straight for Taigehe'er's head.

"Heretic!"

Taigehe'er sprinted forward quickly, gripping the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd tightly with both hands, and performed a jumping slash toward the Demon's neck.

The moment the two sides' weapons touched, intense airflow and energy fluctuations erupted. The entire Noble District was destroyed by this energy fluctuation, and this power was still spreading.

"Satisfying, satisfying!"

The Demon's attack frequency became faster and faster, and the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in Taigehe'er's hand also kept up with the opponent's speed. Just as this Demon's attention was focused on the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd...

Taigehe'er's left hand instantly fired a bolt shell, blasting a large hole in the Demon's right wing.

"You still play dirty tricks!"

The Demon was forced to land on the ground, wanting to use Black Qi to repair its wing, only to find that there was lingering psionic power on the wing preventing the Black Qi from going there to restore the injury.

Just as the Demon was distracted by controlling the Black Qi to repair its wing, the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in Taigehe'er's hand had already slashed toward the Demon's skull. Thick Black Qi instantly wrapped around Taigehe'er, and the Psionic Barrier outside the Holy Shield Power Armor was being corroded by the Black Qi.

But Taigehe'er still swung the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd down first. After feeling the sensation of the strike, Taigehe'er then used psionic power to push away the Black Qi around him.

Taigehe'er looked at the Demon that had lost both wings, feeling the residue of his psionic power. Every time he used psionic power here, it would consume several times the amount to use, which also resulted in his psionic power now seeming somewhat insufficient.

However, fortunately, the Demon opposite had also lost a pair of wings. His attack direction must have been changed by the Black Qi just now, and coupled with the opponent's evasion, that was how he had cut off half of the opponent's wing.

"Heretic! You shall accept judgment from the Emperor! Feel the Emperor's wrath!"

Just as Taigehe'er was preparing to fight with the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd again, a familiar voice came from the sky.

"You have already done very well, Taigehe'er. Go back and rest first!"

Taigehe'er looked back and saw that 3-meter-tall figure jump down from the Military Transport Plane. After landing steadily on the ground, he immediately knelt on one knee and said in a devout tone.

"Emperor, I can still fight. Please let me follow you and fight together!"

The Demon over there, upon seeing this 3-meter-tall Human appear, revealed a smile on its mouth.

"So you are the Emperor he spoke of. You do look like you have some strength. It seems you have done a lot of research on controlling your subordinates, letting such a warrior become your subordinate while maintaining such high Loyalty. How about this, you..."

Before this Demon could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Yingzhou.

"Shut up! You Demon, I will settle the score with you in a moment!"

Yingzhou looked at this Demon with a cold gaze and said in an icy tone, then he turned back to say to Taigehe'er.

"Sorry, it is my strength that is insufficient, which caused you to be implicated as well, making you unable to exert the strength you should have."

Taigehe'er was clearly stunned, then hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Emperor, it is only my strength that..."

Before Taigehe'er could finish speaking, he was retracted by Yingzhou. The land of the entire Noble District was now a large crater, with not a trace of life around.

"Now, tell me, where did this body of yours come from!"
