A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

"not good!"

"Our senior brother has fallen into demonic possession!"

"Wake up, Senior Brother!!"

Exclamations of surprise erupted from the Zhengyang Sect's camp.

If they were to become completely possessed by demons, then Chi Ou would no longer be their senior brother.

It was a monster that only knew how to kill.

Even more terrifying than demonic cultivators!

Demonic cultivation is a path that is bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless!

No matter how cruel demonic cultivators are, they still have their own consciousness; they just follow a different path.

On the arena.

The red gulls could not hear their voices at all.

His eyes were as black as ink, with no whites.

His body was filled with surging demonic energy, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

His gaze was fixed intently on Luo Fan.

"Luo Fan—!!"

The red gull's consciousness gradually sank, and it became increasingly frenzied!

He waved his only remaining arm, without any unnecessary words or preamble.

He transformed into a streak of black light and charged straight at Luo Fan at an astonishing speed!

The audience below only saw a blur before their eyes, and the red gull was already in front of Luo Fan!

A punch was thrown!

The demonic energy, mixed with a hideous ghost face, opened its blood-red maw and lunged forward!

Luo Fan mastered the Ghostly Shadow Step to its fullest extent.

His figure transformed into several afterimages, weaving and dodging through the demonic energy.

boom!

The force of the punch grazed his shoulder.

The impact slammed into the protective light barrier behind them, causing the entire barrier to tremble violently.

Luo Fan quickly retreated, his feet barely touching the ground.

The red gull followed closely, and another punch landed!

Luo Fan turned to the side, the force of the punch grazing his nose!

The third punch!

The fourth punch!

The fifth punch!

The two fought from east to west of the ring, from the ground to mid-air!

Fists and feet clashed, each exchange producing a deafening explosion!

Demonic energy and spiritual power clashed violently, causing the entire arena to shatter and fly with dust and debris!

Everyone was stunned.

This is hardly a battle between Foundation Establishment stage cultivators anymore.

This is clearly a battle at the Golden Core level!

"Die! Die! Die!"

The red gull's forehead veins bulged, and its attack became increasingly ferocious.

Luo Fan remained calm and composed throughout.

The ghostly figure left afterimages in the demonic aura, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow each time.

a moment.

Luo Fan stopped dodging and threw a punch straight at the opponent!

The two fists collided, and the violent shockwave sent both of them flying back dozens of feet!

next moment!

A black glint flashed in the red gull's eyes, and it reached out its hand!

Amidst the surging demonic energy, a battle blade engulfed in jet-black flames materialized!

"Crimson Demon Blade!"

"Cut him down—!"

Red Gull brandished his sword, and a black blade of light tore through the sky, slashing towards Luo Fan!

Luo Fan steadied himself and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Spirit Weapon...I have one too!"

He reached out and made a grabbing motion!

In a flash of light, a longsword with crimson patterns like magma fell into his palm.

The fire-breathing sword charges!

clang-!!!

Flames and demonic flames clashed and tore at each other, neither willing to give way!

"Flames erupt!"

Luo Fan unleashed his sword technique, and flames surged forth from the sword!

The raging sea of ​​fire broke through the demonic energy and engulfed the red gull completely!

The Crimson Gull and Crimson Demon Blade dance wildly, cleaving through the sea of ​​fire!

The demonic flames and the spirit fire collided, exploding into countless dazzling sparks in mid-air!

Second move—Fire Python Devours the Sky!

Luo Fan's sword stance changes again!

Three giant fire pythons, each tens of meters long, pounced on the red gull from three directions!

The Crimson Gull Blade danced once more, slicing through the two fiery pythons!

The third fire python seized the opportunity and coiled around his body!

"burst!"

Luo Fan sipped lightly.

boom--!!!

The fire python exploded.

The terrifying burst of flames sent the red gull flying backward, crashing into the protective light barrier before bouncing back.

The light curtain rippled, revealing cracks!

Red Gull knelt on one knee, coughing up blood; his demonic energy had clearly weakened.

On the high platform.

Master Xuanming's pupils contracted slightly.

"Is this the Peach Blossom Temple's Blazing Sword Technique?"

"No! It's not a mid-grade Xuan-rank! This kid improved it to a high-grade Xuan-rank!"

Master Qingyang shook his beard upon hearing this.

"He used only two of the three sword techniques to defeat the demon-possessed Red Gull, rendering him unable to lift his head..."

"If this child were to attain the Golden Core stage..."

He didn't continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

Unrivaled among those of the same level.

Yunxi looked at the scene on the arena, her expression still as cold and aloof as the moon.

If you look closely, you can see that her fingers, which are holding the cup, have turned white.

The rise and fall of his chest was also faster than usual.

Liu Linglong was taken aback at first.

He then squinted, his eyes curving into two crescent moons.

She picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and her eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

Sikong Jue's face was beyond ashen.

His hands gripped the seat, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes held deep apprehension.

And an even stronger killing intent.

This child must not be allowed to live!

offstage.

Peach Blossom Temple faction.

Xie Nantian swallowed.

He opened his mouth, his voice dry, "Is he really only at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Chu Wuyai remained silent for a long time.

A moment later, his tone was surprisingly calm.

"I think whether or not I can catch up with him is no longer important."

"Being able to carry his shoes is enough to disgrace us so-called prodigies."

Shen Fufeng and Zhao Jingzhou exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, their faces showing agreement.

Yan Wujiu looked up at the sky.

Tears slid down her cheeks.

"I don't even deserve a free gift... What a damn miserable life, why was I born in the same era!"

Xuantian Sect faction.

Qin Wushuang was lost in thought.

She recalled what she had said to Luo Fan last night…

If I recover from my injuries, I might be your opponent tomorrow.

And Luo Fan's smiling reply—

"If the fairy truly becomes my opponent, then I will be honored even in defeat."

She smiled bitterly.

Though defeated, there is still glory?

She couldn't beat him at all.

The Qingyun Sect faction.

Lin Hao's mouth was agape, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

"When he gave me the pills, I thought he was a good person."

Zhang Yuan leaned closer. "Isn't that right?"

Lin Hao turned to look at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Can a good person be this twisted?!"

Zhang Yuan fell silent.

Yang Shiqi, who was standing to the side, had disappeared at some point.

She slipped over to Chu Wuyai's side, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered something.

"Senior Brother Chu, your junior brother is amazing..."

Chu Wuyai looked down at her.

silence.

silence.

Still, silence.

Yesterday, this woman didn't praise him like that.

She said—

"Senior Brother Chu, you...you're amazing!"

Chu Wuyai withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the arena.

Luo Fan stood in mid-air, looking down.

The red gull stood up, its dark eyes filled with even greater madness.

"Luo Fan... Luo Fan... Luo Fan!!"

His roar cracked.

He gripped the Crimson Demon Blade tightly with his only remaining arm and soared into the sky once more!

Luo Fan swung his sword to meet the attack!

Ding ding ding ding ding—!

The two fought from mid-air to the ground, and then from the ground back to mid-air!

Anyone with eyes could see that Chi Gu's sword was moving slower and slower.

His demonic energy was weakening, and his movements were becoming increasingly stiff.

Luo Fan's sword moved faster and faster, and his flames grew ever brighter.

He seized an opening in Red Gull's defenses and pierced Red Gull's chest with his fire-breathing sword!

The tip of the sword protruded from behind him, and flames burned on the tip!

Chi Ou glanced down at the sword that had pierced his chest, then looked up at Luo Fan.

Luo Fan drew his sword, bringing out a splatter of blood from Chi Ou's right chest, and delivered a spinning kick to his back.

boom!

He fell from mid-air!

boom-!!!

With that sound, the already dilapidated arena collapsed in half!

The red gulls were lying there.

Not moving at all.

Luo Fan stood above the deep pit, letting out a breath as if he had just recovered from the shock.

"It's a good thing you're only at this level, otherwise I would have been in danger."

The entire room fell silent.

No one speaks.

Everyone was watching that proud, standing figure.

All they wanted to say was one sentence.

Do you speak human language?

The disciples of the Zhengyang Sect all had gloomy expressions.

This time, they lost completely.

In the quiet atmosphere, the soft sigh of the presiding elder echoed.

Having fought to this point, there is no need to continue. The most urgent task is to save the gull's life.

But before he could speak, a faint sound came from the bottom of the pit.

"You...how dare you...look down on me!"

The red gull moved.

First, the fingers.

Next, the arms.

Then comes the whole body.

He got up, his eyes completely tainted with bloodlust and ferocity.

"die!"

"I want all of you!"

"Die, all of you!!!"

The demonic energy surrounding the red gull was far more concentrated and violent than before!

The entire arena was shrouded in demonic energy!

Looking at the frenzied red gulls, countless people in the arena were terrified.

Luo Fan laughed.

It's good that you've become a demon.

I've been playing with him for so long.

In this way, we can eliminate the problem at its root and prevent future troubles!

Snapped!

At that moment, the protective light barrier at the edge of the arena emitted a crisp cracking sound.

The cracks spread rapidly.

Until the protective light barrier completely shattered!

A violent surge of demonic energy rushed towards the audience below!

Those disciples with lower cultivation levels had no time to react; they were struck as if by a heavy blow.

As they coughed up blood, their vision went black, and one by one they fainted.

One.

two.

ten.

Dozens.

The elders of each sect hurriedly took action, erecting protective shields to protect their respective disciples.

Once again, a red gull hovered in mid-air, its remaining single arm raised high.

The demonic energy gathered in his palm.

compression.

swell.

Compress it again.

Further expansion.

A ball of black energy gradually took shape.

The surface of the energy sphere was writhing with hideous ghostly faces.

The sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling exploded in my ears.

"Destroy me! Destroy me—!!!"

The red gull's cry transcended the realm of human voices as it slammed the energy ball into the ground!

the goal--

Luo Fan!
