Chapter 95: Demonic Qi

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Great Martial Master's face turned horrified, unable to believe his own sword aura had shattered.

He remembered very clearly that the person standing far away was only a Martial Master in strength.

How could he be a match for him?

The Great Martial Master, unable to dodge in time, could only unleash his life-saving martial technique at the critical moment.

An earth-yellow light curtain, like armor, protected his surroundings.

That Pure Yang finger strike hitting his armor actually produced a sound like an eggshell breaking.

The Great Martial Master was instantly terrified out of his wits.

His life-saving martial technique could only block for an instant?

Where on earth did this peerless genius come from?

The Great Martial Master knew he was no match for Gu Han, and he furiously roared at his companion Jiang Shan.

"Jiang Shan, you fellow, what are you staring at?"

However, when he turned his head, he found Jiang Shan already pinned to the ground by a giant wolf ablaze with flames, unable to move.

That Great Martial Master's gaze turned grave as he drew upon his entire Qi Blood to instantly detonate the remaining shield.

The terrifying explosion's shockwave kicked up a cloud of sand, forcibly shattering Gu Han's Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger!

Immediately after, the Great Martial Master swiftly fled into the distance.

"As expected, his strength is still lacking a bit."

Gu Han already possessed strength comparable to the mid-stage of Wang Keyan's Martial Master level half a month ago.

But during this half month, he was busy searching for traitors; although his strength increased somewhat, it was not enough to cross two major realms.

Just a single move of the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger, barely having achieved minor success, could force the Great Martial Master to nearly exhaust his trump cards.

This alone is enough to demonstrate Gu Han's astonishing strength in fighting beyond his level, as well as the prowess of the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger.

However, the Great Martial Master had barely fled a few dozen meters when he felt a flash of cold light.

He was greatly surprised in his heart.

He was clearly facing away from his opponent, so why did he see a flash of cold light?

By the time he reacted, Gu Han had somehow appeared before him.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain from behind, and instinctively reached out to touch it.

A scarlet stain of blood entered his vision, causing him to be greatly shocked.

However, a feeling of weakness then surged from within his body.

However, the injury caused by the Steel-Cutting Flash was not enough to be fatal for the Great Martial Master.

The Great Martial Master roared, taking out a pitch-black stone from his bosom and hurling it fiercely at Gu Han.

"I never wanted to fight to this extent; you forced me!"

Wisps of black aura coiled around the stone, making it look full of evil energy.

Even from over ten meters away, Gu Han felt his hairs stand on end and got goosebumps all over.

"Whether it's evil energy or demonic qi, before my Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger, you can only lie down and let fate take its course!"

Gu Han snorted coldly, his two fingers like swords, pointing at the black stone in midair.

The vast Pure Yang qi condensed into a finger thrust, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.

At the moment the black stone came into contact with the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger, it was like ice and snow meeting fire and melting.

Like encountering a natural enemy, the wisps of black aura emitted a sizzling sound and vanished between heaven and earth.

"This... this is impossible! Who exactly are you?!"

The Great Martial Master stared at Gu Han in horror and dread, gulping nervously.

This black stone was a treasure he discovered by chance in a valley.

After coming into contact with the black stone, it could more than double the speed at which he tempered his Qi Blood!

Thanks to the black stone, he was able to rise from Martial Master to Great Martial Master in a short time!

Furthermore, through testing he determined that the black stone, when used as a weapon, could inflict tremendous damage on enemies.

For example, he had previously used the black stone to freeze an injured Four Star demonic beast into an ice sculpture!

That demonic beast was one he could hardly kill even with all his might.

Yet this black stone could easily freeze it, proving its great power!

And for this reason, he never dared let others know he possessed the mysterious black stone.

Only now, at this moment of life and death, was he forced to use the black stone.

But he never expected that the black stone he regarded as his trump card would be utterly useless against his opponent!

He had no time to fear, taking out a talisman and preparing to escape through the earth.

The Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Finger's momentum undiminished, it struck the Great Martial Master's wrist from dozens of meters away.

"Ah!"

A tragic cry rang out as his wrist was instantly pierced.

Gu Han closed in, a sword qi that split the void slashed the Great Martial Master's throat, blood gushing like a spring.

After a glance at Jiang Shan, who was firmly suppressed by the Blazing Flame Hound, Gu Han hurriedly shouted.

"Spare his life; leave him to me."

After saying that, Gu Han placed a single hand on the corpse beneath his feet.

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing Qi Blood from the Great Martial Master, gaining 1000 strength points, 500 defense points, and a wisp of demonic qi."

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Second-tier Treasure Chest; would you like to open it immediately?"

Hearing the system prompt, Gu Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Demonic qi?

A strand of purple-black demonic qi, as if being pulled by an irresistible force, was forcibly extracted from the black stone and floated in Gu Han's palm.

This strand of demonic qi seemed alive, confined within a small square space.

Moreover, traces of demonic sound transmitted into Gu Han's ears.

"Devour me, and as long as you devour me, you can become the supreme being!"

"Don't you crave longevity? Don't you crave strength?"

"You, what are you waiting for?"

This is not mere temptation, but a bewitchment with hallucinatory effects!

Gu Han's eyes were clear, and he was not at all bewildered by the demonic qi's bewitchment.

He calmly watched the demonic qi doing its utmost to bewitch him,

"What other tricks do you have?"

That demonic qi seemed to stagger, and its voice paused there.

It hadn't expected that, having rarely spoken personally to bewitch, this person before it showed no reaction at all?

You should know, it had merely been residing in the obsidian demon stone, without employing any means.

It could make that Great Martial Master uncontrollably desire to seize the obsidian demon stone!

Gu Han's resistance to the demonic sound's bewitchment far exceeded its imagination.

Gu Han inquired of the system in his mind,

"This strand of demonic qi I have absorbed should be controllable, right?"

"The host can control demonic qi, and this strand will cause no harm to the host."

Gu Han nodded reassuredly, and with a wave of his hand he removed the prison confining the demonic qi.

That demonic qi stared in astonishment as Gu Han undid the seal.

"This kid looks foolish, perfect for me to use as a puppet!"

The thought in his mind settled, and the demonic qi swiftly flew toward Gu Han's sea of consciousness.

However, the moment it approached Gu Han's head, he gave a contemptuous smile.

He raised his hand and easily seized the demonic qi's 'body'.

The demonic qi had no physical form, yet it could clearly feel Gu Han's restriction upon it.

It let out a shrill, duck-like cry in disbelief,

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"You're just a human, how could you possibly catch me?"
