But the ferocious ape's huge mouth had already arrived, and its sharp teeth were about to bite Uesugi Che's throat!

"Want to eat? I'll let you eat as much as you want!"

Prajna grinned and let go of Kaga Kiyomizu at this most critical moment.

Then, he forcibly stuffed his left arm into the Nue's mouth.

All the way, straight to Huanglong!

With the help of greed, anger and ignorance, Uesugi Tetsu's arm was like a red-hot iron. In just a moment, it smashed most of Nue's teeth and then easily dissolved the flesh and blood in its body.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Feeling the situation inside his body, Nue became more and more frightened and angry, waving his sharp claws and leaving deep and shallow blood marks on Uesugi Che's body.

Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, but this Yin-Yang Master didn't show any emotional fluctuations that a human should have!

The more frightened it was and the more harm it caused to Uesugi Tetsu, the more it felt that the arm that almost crushed its neck became hotter and more powerful!

"You are not human... Damn it! What grudge do you, Prajna, have against me?" Nue's struggles began to weaken.

Its throat had been completely burned, making it unable to make any sound. It could only use its ability to control the wind to emit subtle vibrations: "As a fellow demon, why do you help those humans..."

Uesugi Tetsu, who had witnessed his physical fitness break through the 60 mark, did not respond. He just picked up Kaga Kiyomitsu beside him and asked, "Last words?"

Nue stared into the pair of black eyes that showed no joy or sorrow, and finally felt the fear from the bottom of his heart.

The way Prajna looked at it was as if he was looking at an object, not an enemy or a fellow tribesman.

It had clearly felt this kind of gaze when it was kneeling under the round table.

"You are... you are the leader of the Demon Guidance Association..." Nue let out a miserable, vague laugh, "I can't even fulfill such a simple request... it's really..."

stab.

Kaga Kiyomitsu swung his sword and completely cut off the Nue's slender neck.

"Too many words."

Uesugi Che pulled out his left arm, which was full of pits and dents corroded by stomach acid. He looked at the curious appearance of his arm and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He poured the remaining drop of awakening mist into his mouth.

Demon Guidance Association, Lord...

What kind of organization and force is this in the ordinary world?

Tsk, this world is really getting more and more chaotic. When the tide rises, all kinds of monsters and demons come out from the dark corners.

Uesugi Che glanced at the young man he had thrown into the living room. After confirming that the young man had called an ambulance and was not in immediate danger of life, he carried Nue's body and left.

Feeling his body gradually recovering from his injuries, Uesugi Tetsu first found an empty alley, took a deep breath, and opened the prompt.

——Let the Demon Director Association and the like go to hell!

[You killed the severely injured two-star half-demon "Nue" and obtained 262 soul ash!]

[You used Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation to kill "Nue", and the quality of Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation has been slightly improved.]

[Your skill, Corona Breathing proficiency +107! ]

[Your skill, Natural Rational Flow proficiency +92! ]

【You have obtained the Heart of Nue! 】

[You have obtained a transformation box filled with soul ashes (special item)! ]

This is it!

Uesugi Che immediately took out the soul ash conversion box and felt a heavier weight in his hand that was different from before.

Only 5k today, sorry meow

But I still ask for subscriptions and monthly tickets!

Because the next chapter is about to start - draw a card and start!

Chapter 98 Two thousand soul ashes, the richest episode!

The soul ash conversion box in his hand is no different from the one that Uesugi Tetsu had obtained by killing a living creature before.

But the weight is different -

[Transformation Box Filled with Soul Ashes (Special Item)]

[Effect: After use, gain 1000 soul ash.]

[——It is filled with ten thousand pieces of crude soul ashes transformed from the souls of living people, and it can no longer hold any more.]

The introduction is brief but extremely practical.

"Only ten thousand copies..."

Uesugi Che used it silently, and the soul ash conversion box in his hand instantly became lighter.

[You have obtained, Soul Ashes x 1000! ]

Now, Uesugi Tetsu's soul ash reserves have jumped to an exaggerated "2144"!

Not only can he easily buy two sets of cold steel arm armor, but he can also draw two more rounds from the ten-shot combo, which is unprecedented wealth.

Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease with the abundant soul ash. He then took out the [Heart of Nue] that had just fallen.

A dark red heart as big as two of Uesugi Che's fists fell into his hand, with hot blood flowing on its surface. In the slow beating, the blue-green blood vessels were clearly visible.

Heart of Nue

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: After taking it, you will randomly comprehend a talent related to "wind".]

[——Nue, can fly even without wings.]

"Take...?"

Uesugi Che stared at the smelly heart in his hand, which was bigger than his mouth, for a long time, with an embarrassed look on his face.

But it is impossible not to eat.

"There's no need to wait until later."

Uesugi Che muttered to himself, raised his head, and then chewed the Nue Heart into pieces in a few bites and swallowed it.

I could clearly feel the smelly yet hot blood pouring into my mouth like a stream after my teeth bit through the relatively tough skin, followed by the myocardium and blood vessels that tasted like jelly...

Crunch.

After a burst of chewing sounds, Uesugi Tetsu, feeling extremely nauseous, looked at the panel—

[You have taken the Heart of Nue! ]

[You have realized a new talent, vortex! ]

【vortex】

[Effect: You will be able to clearly sense the direction of Qi flow and consume spiritual power to change it.]

[——For you, air and water are the same.]

After just a few seconds of reading the prompt, Uesugi Tetsu felt the "flow of Qi" mentioned in the talent effect very clearly.

It is not only about the speed and direction of the wind from outside, but also about how it affects itself.

More importantly, even if Uesugi Tetsu just stands there, he can still figure out the location, flow rate, and amount of all the corona energy in his body and control it.

If the previous practice of breathing techniques required guiding the corona energy to circulate and grow stronger in the body over and over again.

After awakening the talent of "vortex", all the internal energy seemed to have turned into an extension of Uesugi Che's limbs, flowing freely throughout his limbs and bones.

For example, now, Uesugi Tetsu can tear a ball of corona energy into dozens or hundreds of parts, allowing just the right amount to fall on minor wounds and heal them.

This was something he could never do, as he could only spread a large ball of internal energy on the wound to stop bleeding and disinfect it.

"What an unexpected surprise."

Uesugi Che grinned. He believed that the benefits of this talent were far more than just this. There must be more magical uses waiting for him to explore in depth.

But now, let’s take this nue, which is still dripping with blood, back.

……

It was a little after four in the morning, in the parking lot.

Nanjo Aimi, Kurosaki Akira, and an Onmyoji specialized in healing who rushed to the scene jumped out from the back of a black truck together.

As soon as she landed, Nanjo Aimi felt the shadow under her feet begin to stir.

She looked around, but only saw the figures of Shizuma Mafuyu and Ririko.

"Go and carry her up first." Nanjo Aimi pointed at Shizuma Mafuyu. The middle-aged Onmyoji behind her nodded and summoned a strange monk with a straw hat on his head to run up.

"Did he deliberately leave Shadow Girl here?"

Nanjo Aimi frowned, and a translucent thread of spiritual power shot out from her fingertips and penetrated into the shadow of Shizuma Mafuyu, pulling the sticky shadow out.

A painful sound, as if suffocating, echoed in the parking lot: "Ouch, ouch! Xiao Aishi, stop strangling my neck! I'm going to die!"

Nanjo Aimi remained unmoved. She held the wriggling shadow, which dared not transform, in front of her and asked coldly, "I asked you to stay with Uesugi Tetsu after you came out. What did you do?"

"He was the one who told me to stay here alone... it hurts, it hurts!"

The shadow twisted violently in mid-air, causing Kurosaki Akira, who was watching from behind, to touch his neck.

The next moment, he took out a dressing mirror and said after a few seconds: "There are no demons around, but there are abnormal conditions."

Nanjo Ai nodded to indicate that she understood, then pulled the shadow in front of her and firmly grasped its top with her five fingers.

"Come on, explain."

Her own shadow danced wildly, as if mocking the shadow girl.

The shadow girl let out a faint wail, then uttered trembling words: "I've been with him for a long time, and I feel that he is not much different from you, Xiao Aishi. In that case, it's okay to obey his orders..."

Nanjo Aimi frowned as she listened to this. This was also one of the disadvantages of stuffing the shadow girl into a doll and giving it to someone else.

——You never know what the separated shadow girl has experienced, how much her cognition has changed, and whether she will still resolutely carry out the orders you gave at the beginning.

"Re-train it."

Just as Nanjo Aimi was about to throw the shadow into her own shadow, she smelled the strong smell of blood that was unique to demons.

She looked up and saw the wounded young man walking towards her under the dim street lights, carrying the burly corpse of a demon. He made a scissors sign towards her expressionless face.

"Luckily I'm still alive..."

Nanjo Aimi let go, letting the shadow girl fall to the side, and then the two shadows suddenly broke out into a fierce quarrel and fight on the ground.

Kurosaki Akira, who had been very vigilant at the side, also raised an eyebrow after seeing the demon corpse clearly and yawned: "It seems like a wasted trip, Nanjo-sensei."

Go ahead, Kurosaki Ming waved his hand: "I will ask You Jugong to be alert to the surroundings at all times. If you have anything to ask, just ask him. I'm going back to the car to catch up on some sleep."

Nanjo Aimi nodded and saw Uesugi Tetsu pull up Ririk and throw Nue's body in front of her.

She stared at Nue's dismembered body for a moment, a truly tragic sight. Then she glanced at Uesugi Tetsu, whose clothes were nearly shredded into rags, and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Uesugi Tetsu shrugged: "I won't die."

"Then let's go. I'll treat you later. Someone will be investigating the unusual incidents here tomorrow."

Now that everyone is back alive, Nanjo Aishi doesn't bother to care about what happened before. "The commission rating was wrong this time. It's the negligence of the Special Affairs Office. We will compensate you in two days."

She grabbed Nue's body and threw it into the side opening of the truck, then called the two of them into the rear compartment.

You can see Shizuma Mafuyu lying on a stretcher in the middle of the carriage, her face pale, with a strange-looking monk treating her.

Kurosaki Akira sat in the corner with his eyes closed, breathing steadily.

The truck started slowly.

"Oh, Nanjo-san." Uesugi Tetsu recalled what Nue said before dying, and took out the soul ash conversion box. "While I was fighting this Nue, I made a new discovery."

Nanjo Aimi took the box and squinted her eyes to examine the patterns on it: "What is this?"

Uesugi Tetsu: "Before it died, Nue said it could transform human souls into a substance called soul ash—it lets living beings run around with this substance just to do this."

"There is still a creature wandering around this area with this box, and it has not been eliminated."

Blame all the information on Nue, since dead demons can't speak anyway.
