Chapter 73

Human face, beast heart.

The body is a human body, but the heart has already deteriorated.

Where is this still a human.

This is simply an evil ghost wearing human skin!

Suddenly, Li Xiang's hair stood up slightly, and an inexplicable sense of crisis emerged.

How come, just out of the wolf's den, and into the tiger's mouth?

The air was still filled with a burnt smell, and the entire Demon Slaying Division was eerily quiet.

"Clearly still human, but their temperaments have changed drastically?"

"It's as if, it's as if their own emotions, their own desires, have been infinitely expanded."

"What a weird existence."

"The people in the slums are the same, a small conflict, and they start fighting, like mad demons."

Li Xiang looked at the burnt corpses, feeling a bit surprised. The people in this city all looked very strange, as if they were possessed.

They were like demons, but they weren't demons.

Under the inspection of the Confucian divine ability, they were indeed humans.

It's just that I don't know why, their temperaments had changed drastically, becoming extremely sensitive and warlike.

Presumably, they were all affected by that red light.

Speaking of that red light, that thing attached to people's spirit platforms, it seemed to be able to affect people's minds.

While pondering, Li Xiang suddenly felt a palpitation.

He looked up.

At this moment, three runners were cleaning up the mess on the ground.

Li Xiang had seen one of the runners before; one of them was Huang Tian, the deputy envoy of the Demon Slaying Division.

Before, when Shihe Village faced the danger of a beast tide, it was this person who suggested abandoning the villagers.

Li Xiang had no good impression of him.

A guy who could abandon the commoners and run away at any time, this kind of person had no firm stance.

At this moment, he was leading two subordinates, cleaning up the corpses of Liu Pingchuan and Sun Jiuyang on the ground.

These two died strangely and were a bit scary.

Clean them up early to avoid further accidents.

And leaving these two corpses here would also scare the villagers.

The two subordinates just touched the corpses, and they saw the bones suddenly shatter, turning into pieces of dust, extremely weird.

But what really surprised Li Xiang was not the shattering of the corpses.

It was that he saw two red lights rush out from the corpses the moment they shattered.

Two faint red lights rushed out from the corpses, splitting into six red lights in the air, and drilled into the bodies of the surrounding villagers and the nearby Demon Slaying Division officials.

"This is?!"

Li Xiang frowned.

He didn't expect this thing to have such changes after it died.

The next moment, he saw those people entangled by the red light suddenly have unusual movements.

A villager possessed by the red light walked very strangely toward the pot where the Demon Slaying Division had distributed porridge just now.

This person was a well-known poor person in the village, with no name; people called him "Heaven's Harvest."

His family was destitute, poor as a church mouse.

He himself was a cripple, and his labor power was relatively low.

Years ago, his family still had two elderly people to support, all relying on him alone to work and raise them.

With this kind of family background, not starving to death, it was really "Heaven's Harvest."

He didn't have much strength in his hands, and he had two elderly people to support at home; let alone marrying a wife, even living was extremely difficult.

Later, he really couldn't live anymore.

His mother told him to carry both elderly people to Heifeng Mountain and throw them in a corner.

Now I don't know if they were fed to jackals or tigers and leopards.

This person was entangled by the red light, and his behavior suddenly became very weird.

While walking with his head down, he muttered to himself.

"Hungry, so hungry, starving to death..."

He limped to the big pot of the Demon Slaying Division.

Regardless of everyone's eyes, he actually lay on the edge of the pot, surrounding the big pot and started eating the white porridge.

The firewood under the pot was still burning, and the white porridge was boiling, but he didn't care at all, using his hands to hold it, swallowing it gulp by gulp, and the skin on his face was scalded with one blister after another.

A pair of hands instantly turned red, as if they had been boiled.

Weird, horrific!

While eating, he muttered something.

"Hungry, so hungry!"

"Haven't eaten my fill for so many years, really want to eat my fill!"

"Eat my fill! Eat my fill! If I eat my fill, I can live a good life!"

"By then, by then build a new house for the family, marry a wife, have a big fat son!"

"Treat my dad's illness, buy a cotton quilt for my mom, for my wife..."

While speaking, he kept scooping from the big pot, drinking the white porridge gulp by gulp.

Before long, his belly was round, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

His eyes were still emitting a faint red light.

Bang~

A sound of leather tearing rang out; it was actually his belly being burst, and a large pile of things flowed out.

Only then did he hear this person muttering to himself.

"Finally... finally ate my fill."

With a thud, the whole person fell into the pot.

The fire underneath was still burning, and along with him, he was boiled in the pot just like that.

Another person died!

Weird, too weird!

Not only this one person, but the other few people possessed by the red light also became very weird.

All showed extremely strong emotional changes.

An ordinary, honest villager suddenly stood up; his name was Zhang Yang.

He was relatively short and was often mocked in the village, receiving ridicule from many people.

Last year, a few children were playing around and took his family's ancestral tablet out of the ancestral hall and burned it. He went to find the adults to reason, but was beaten black and blue.

Because of this, he went to find the Village Chief to preside over justice, but the Village Chief couldn't be bothered with such a guy and kicked him out of the house. Suffering such great humiliation, this person was timid and didn't dare to let out a fart.

Just such a guy who was usually bullied, at this moment actually dragged a sickle and leaned toward the Village Chief Zhang Wu.

"Zhang Yang, calm down, what are you doing?"

"This is public territory, do you want to kill someone?"

"Go to your mother, we are all Zhang family members, you help outsiders and don't help me, I'll kill you, you dog thing!"

Zhang Yang swung a sickle at Zhang Wu's neck, very fast.

He didn't care at all that this was the territory of the Demon Slaying Division.

Committing murder fiercely, without any scruples.

Bang~

Zhang Wu reacted quickly, using his hands to block Zhang Yang's arms.

If Zhang Wu wasn't a ranked martial artist, I'm afraid his head would have moved house with this blade.

The next moment, the blade light was like the moon.

A Xiuchun Blade slashed off Zhang Yang's neck.

Huang Tian, Deputy Envoy Huang, slashed out with a gloomy face, ending this farce.

At this moment, his eyes were extremely cold.

Li Xiang noticed that Huang Tian's spirit platform was also stained with a bit of red light.

But it didn't completely cover his spirit platform.

The red light split into six parts, two fell onto the villagers, and the other four fell onto the officials of the Demon Slaying Division.

But only the villagers showed unusual changes, while the others maintained a normal state.

Possessed by red light, it was like opening Pandora's box.

Those desires suppressed in the deepest part of the heart began to be released without scruples.

Li Xiang saw that these red lights seemed to have a very strong influence on those who had no cultivation and were physically weak.

Healthy people, or ranked cultivators, after being affected by the red light, although a bit distracted, could still maintain their sanity.

Only some physically weak villagers of Shihe Village were now making trouble like crazy.

Two more people died.

This scene seemed to be getting more and more dangerous.

While pondering, Li Xiang suddenly saw a red light emerge from the two who had died.

The one boiling in the pot had a black-red streak emerge from his body, turning into nearly eight parts, rushing toward the crowd around him.

And the one slashed to death by Huang Tian only had a small red light emerge, flying in the air for a period of time, and then it dissipated on its own.

It seems that only when desires are satisfied can these weird powers grow.

In an instant, Li Xiang suddenly had an extremely uneasy feeling.

He looked up, and a red light was rushing straight toward him.

"Hmm?!"

He snorted coldly, and Haoran Qi emerged from his body.

All evil things are restrained by Haoran Qi.

This is the most unique power in this world and the foundation of the human race.

Li Xiang believed that Haoran Qi could definitely suppress this weirdness.

But after this red light rushed over, it didn't fall on Li Xiang.

Instead, it took a turn, rushed behind Li Xiang, and disappeared.

"Not good!"

"Xiao Zhenger!"
