I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 49 Internal Bloodfire

A cold, loud voice boomed in the dark living room!

The voice was extremely deep and sharp, piercing people's eardrums with pain. Even though they thought Chen Mo was far away, the voice seemed to explode right next to their ears.

People who were just immersed in fear and horror suddenly felt that the sound was like light cutting through the darkness, and they immediately came to their senses and turned to look.

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, Chen Mo almost transformed into a blur, appearing in front of Xie Cui in an instant and slashing down fiercely with his blade!

The sound of swords rang out piercingly, and the earth trembled!

Perhaps because Chen Mo's attack was too sudden, or perhaps because of his speed, Xie Cui was so surprised that she exclaimed "Eh!" and instinctively reached out to grasp the blade that was slashing towards her.

Xie Cui didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Chen Mo was just a little faster.

However, the moment her hand grasped the blade, she clearly felt an unimaginably powerful force rushing towards her, forcing Xie Cui to release Li Wenqing from her grasp and stagger backward.

Xie Cui retreated step by step, each step shattering the bluestone bricks on the ground, demonstrating the terrifying power of Chen Mo's blade.

If it were just about physical strength, Xie Cui wouldn't be worried. At worst, she could just abandon this physical body and have someone else possess her.

This courtyard is never short of people.

She remained calm, gripping the knife in one hand as she retreated to the corner of the living room, finally regaining her footing.

"Hehe... Chen boy, my mother has always missed you, hehe..."

The next moment, Xie Cui was speechless.

A surge of intense internal energy passed through the blade.

The intense, yang-like energy was so hot that it felt like Xie Cui's hands were on fire.

"what!"

Xie Cui suddenly let out a shrill scream and abruptly released her grip on the knife. A large area of ​​her palm was burned, the skin and flesh charred black, emitting a pungent smell of burnt meat.

"True Qi, you're an internal martial arts master!"

Xie Cui's pupils widened in disbelief.

Seeing her surprise and fear, Chen Mo felt even more confident.

How could he let the opportunity slip by? He immediately planted his feet firmly on the ground and slashed forward with all his might.

"Oh!"

Another slash struck Xie Cui. Even though Xie Cui managed to grab the blade, the powerful force still sent her crashing through the door and wall, throwing her into the courtyard.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" resounded, and the courtyard wall collapsed, shaking the ground and sending up clouds of dust.

Chen Mo did not sheath his sword, but suddenly rushed out of the courtyard, his blazing sword slashing down, shouting, "Lord Li, Uncle Zhou, watch out for Li Yu!"

"Everyone in the courtyard is crowding into the living room. Xie Cui is possessed by a vengeful spirit and could possess you at any moment!"

"Chen Wu, light another red candle."

After giving three instructions, Chen Mo stuck to Xie Cui relentlessly, hacking away at her without giving her a chance to escape. This, in turn, gave the people in the courtyard a chance to flee into the living room.

A huge crowd crammed into the living room, terrified.

Chen Wu was also puzzled at this point.

The candle wick was soaked, wasn't it?
It can still be lit?

Although puzzled, Chen Wu listened to Chen Mo and bit his finger again, praying to the Red Lantern Goddess and dripping his blood onto the candle wick. With a "sizzle," the red candle unexpectedly lit.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the moisture on the candle wick had been evaporated.

Chen Wu immediately realized that his second brother had secretly used his internal energy to evaporate the moisture from the lamp wick. He was filled with admiration for his second brother.

That's really meticulous.

With the red candles lit, everyone felt much more at ease, and their fear subsided considerably. They then turned to look at Chen Mo and Xie Cui in the courtyard.

They hoped Chen Mo wouldn't lose, or they'd all be doomed. Chen Yinfu and Lin Yulan stood up, watching the figures crisscrossing outside and hearing the piercing screams. Especially seeing Chen Mo, wielding a knife and standing bravely at the living room doorway.

They stood between the ghost and the family.

That fifteen-year-old boy had grown into a true knight-errant, fighting desperately against evil spirits to protect his family.

Seeing her son's hardships and struggles, and also his protection of his family, Lin Yulan felt a sudden pang of sadness. She gripped Chen Yinfu's arm tightly, tears blurring her vision.

Even Chen Yinfu, the head of the family, had tears in his eyes at this moment.

As for Chen Wu, he gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, praying in his heart: Second Brother, you must win.

Five-year-old Chen Yu'er didn't really know much about ghosts and monsters, but she knew that her family was in danger and that Xie Cui was a big bad guy. Seeing her second brother's brave actions, she became extremely excited.

She clenched her tiny fists, her eyes wide open, and kept encouraging her second brother, "Brother Mo, kill her!"

Not far away, Li Yu glared at Chen Yu'er, but Chen Yu'er didn't stop, still shouting encouragement to Chen Mo. In her limited understanding, there was no concept of a high-ranking official or the government. She only thought about her own family being safe and sound; that was all she cared about.

Seeing Li Yu's fierce gaze, Zhang Ru quickly covered Chen Yu'er's mouth.

Chen Yu'er was still unconvinced, "Second Aunt, why are you covering my mouth? Waaaaah~"

Zhang Ru scolded, "Adults should be doing things properly, children shouldn't talk nonsense."

"Woooooo~"

in the courtyard.

Snowflakes fell softly, and without the fire, the cold air seeped in, the biting wind stinging their faces like knives. Chen Mo, however, paid no heed, hacking wildly with his knife, forcing Xie Cui step by step toward the courtyard gate, keeping her away from the crowd to prevent her from possessing others.

Even though Chen Mo had the upper hand, he couldn't kill his opponent. This was because his opponent was too fast and extremely strong. What his opponent feared was only his internal energy.

Although Chen Mo had broken through the internal martial arts, he hadn't obtained the true internal martial arts technique for circulating true qi. Fortunately, his true qi was still quite abundant, allowing him to sustain himself for a while.

He thought to himself: With Li Wenqing and Li Yu here, both of them are experts, especially Li Yu, who probably holds a grudge against me. I mustn't use the Fiery Palm under their noses. If they find out, the consequences will be dire. I need to force Xie Cui to a secluded spot outside the courtyard.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo adjusted his angle and slashed wildly again. Xie Cui, who had been forced into a corner, had nowhere to retreat and used her hands, even at the cost of being burned, to take the blow. Suddenly, with a loud "bang," they crashed through the courtyard wall, and the two "people" rolled out of the courtyard one after the other.

"Ow~"

"You brat, you've actually mastered internal energy! Damn it!"

Xie Cui looked at her body, which was covered in charred and festering sores, and shouted in exasperation. After a moment's thought, she turned and ran.

"You've come all this way, and you still want to run away?!"

Chen Mo charged forward quickly, simultaneously slashing his palm with the blade.

Crimson, fiery blood stained the blade. Faint wisps of blood mist, resembling flames, swirled around it.

The fifth move of the Fiery Palm, an internal style technique... Bloodfire!
"Die!"

Chen Mo roared and slashed down with his sword.

"what!!"

Xie Cui let out a shrill scream. Even though she grabbed the blade with both hands, the blood and fire on it were scalding hot and burned wildly in her body, consuming her flesh and soul.

The next moment, Li Hongxi ran out of Xie Cui's body and rolled and struggled on the ground.

She was dressed in a bright red Xiuhe dress, her hair disheveled, her face peeling and cracked, covered in spiderweb-like fissures. Though a spirit, she was now engulfed in flames.

Blood and Fire!
"It's blood and fire, the blood and fire of the Red Lanterns... You even learned martial arts from the Red Lanterns!!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

"Mother, please save me!"

"mother!!"
