Demons?

Whoosh.

Ouyang Bo's "corpse" suddenly lifted its head, a frenzied, eerie smile curling across his lips.

"He's not dead?"

Ji Qing's heart lurched.

He knew the blade technique he had unleashed better than anyone.

How could Ouyang Bo possibly not be dead?

"Ji Qing, didn't expect this, did you? Hahahaha! I already have an immortal body. Who can kill me?"

Ouyang Bo burst into manic laughter.

At the same time, his severed arm actually began regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the arm had returned to normal.

It was as though half of it had never been cut off.

Yet a severed arm clearly still lay on the ground.

Ji Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Demon Record in his mind suddenly began shaking violently.

"An immortal body... I'm afraid it isn't an immortal body, but... a demon!"

The Demon Record's trembling meant there had to be demonic aura nearby!

Other than Ouyang Bo, who else could be a demon?

After all, certain demons were said to possess immortal bodies, just like Ouyang Bo's current traits.

On the arena, the blood that had originally flowed from Ouyang Bo's body now rapidly spread across the entire platform.

Threads of bloody mist filled the air.

That bloody mist had even spread beyond the arena.

"Not good! The bloody mist is highly poisonous! Hold your breath!"

Someone carelessly inhaled a mouthful of the bloody mist and collapsed directly to the ground, losing all signs of life.

This bloody mist was highly poisonous!

"Hahahaha! Die! Every last one of you must die!"

Ouyang Bo laughed without restraint.

Strands of black qi gathered around Ouyang Bo. He seemed to enjoy this black qi immensely; the more people died, the more of it there was.

The blood continued spreading.

Ouyang Bo did not merely want to kill Ji Qing. He wanted to kill everyone surrounding the arena!

"Run..."

"Demon! Ouyang Bo has turned into a demon!"

"How can this be? Demons actually exist in this world?"

"I thought demons were only legends. I never expected them to truly exist..."

"Ouyang Bo has become a demon. He wants to kill all of us..."

"What do we do?"

Some people unleashed hidden weapons, while others simply attacked outright.

"Ouyang Bo, die!"

Blade light and sword light both struck Ouyang Bo.

Unfortunately, they were useless.

Ouyang Bo grabbed those streaks of blade light and sword light with one hand, then casually clenched his fist.

Squelch.

His claws tore out a martial artist's heart and crushed it to pieces.

As for the injuries on Ouyang Bo's body, they healed in the blink of an eye.

He truly possessed an "immortal body," enough to strike terror into anyone who saw it.

For a time, countless people fled in panic.

But how could they escape the shroud of bloody mist?

This bloody mist seemed to possess an invisible barrier that blocked everyone.

Everyone around the arena had now practically become turtles trapped in a jar, left to be slaughtered by Ouyang Bo.

Ouyang Bo licked his lips, his gaze fixed on Ji Qing as he sneered, "Ji Qing, I should thank you. If you hadn't pushed me too far, I might not have dared to swallow the demon seed."

"But this feeling now is simply wonderful. If I had known it would feel this wonderful, I should have swallowed the demon seed sooner..."

Ji Qing did not know what the "demon seed" Ouyang Bo spoke of was.

But Ouyang Bo becoming like this was most likely connected to that so-called demon seed.

"Having turned into a demon, you think you've become stronger?"

"Hahahaha! Stronger? I am invincible now! Who can kill me?"

Ouyang Bo's voice was filled with madness.

He was enjoying his current state far too much.

Strong, immortal, brimming with vitality.

Even if it meant becoming a demon from legend, Ouyang Bo was willing!

He had obtained the demon seed by accident many years ago.

The demon seed had seemed like a living creature, utterly bizarre.

For all these years, Ouyang Bo had been studying the demon seed. Even the many people he had killed were, in truth, used to "feed" it.

He discovered that the demon seed possessed astonishing vitality.

It seemed impossible to kill no matter what was done to it.

He wanted to study that power and make it his own.

Unfortunately, no matter how he studied it, he seemed unable to turn the demon seed's power into his own.

Until Ouyang Bo was hunted down by Ji Qing.

Even half of Ouyang Bo's palm had been cut off.

He tried using his medical skills to reattach it.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

The palm soon became necrotic.

Ouyang Bo relied on poison, and his hands were extremely important.

If his hand were incomplete, his methods of poisoning would be greatly diminished.

Ouyang Bo could not tolerate becoming "disabled."

Thus, he swallowed the demon seed!

His palm recovered.

It even felt better than ever before!

As for whether he had become a demon?

Ouyang Bo did not care.

His heart was filled with an intense craving for human blood.

It seemed there was something within human blood that could make his demon seed even stronger.

That was why Ouyang Bo had orchestrated this scene.

He not only wanted to kill Ji Qing, but also wanted the people nearby to provide him with vast amounts of blood to nourish the demon seed.

"Wretched creature, die!"

Du Xiong made his move.

As a peak second-rate expert, Du Xiong had immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He could not be bothered with arena rules or Jianghu morality anymore.

Ouyang Bo had already become a demon. What Jianghu morality was there to speak of?

He had to uphold justice on Heaven's behalf and rid the people of this evil!

Whoosh.

With a flash of Du Xiong's blade, it had already pierced Ouyang Bo's back.

Yet Ouyang Bo seemed not to feel any pain at all.

He swung his palm backward, and Du Xiong hurriedly drew back his blade to block.

Bang.

A tremendous force surged through the blade. Du Xiong was sent flying through the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Pfft.

Du Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was a dignified peak second-rate martial artist, yet he could not withstand even an ordinary strike from Ouyang Bo?

"Kill!"

At Manager Yan's command, the experts of Listening Wind Tower also rushed onto the arena and attacked Ouyang Bo together.

These Listening Wind Tower experts all fought in an assassin-like style, retreating immediately if a strike failed to land.

Unfortunately, what they faced was no longer a "human."

It was a demon!

Ouyang Bo paid no heed whatsoever to their blades and swords. He reached out with one great hand, his claws seizing their weapons before he flung them aside with all his strength.

With a thud.

The Listening Wind Tower experts were hurled away and smashed heavily onto the ground.

They too vomited blood, grievously injured.

For a time, many people fell into despair.

Those who had attacked were all second-rate experts.

They were renowned throughout the Jianghu.

And yet?

They were not even a match for Ouyang Bo in a single exchange.

Just moments ago, beneath the arena, many people had not thought Ouyang Bo was particularly strong.

But now, they realized Ouyang Bo was powerful to such an outrageous degree.

Who else could kill Ouyang Bo?

"Too weak! You are all truly too weak! With such frail bodies, why practice martial arts? Practice for an entire lifetime, and it will still be futile!"

"Hahahaha! I'll stand right here. Who can kill me?"

Ouyang Bo laughed wildly.

Everyone truly was desperate.

The current Ouyang Bo was practically invincible.

"I can kill you!"

"Ouyang Bo, instead of being a proper human, you insisted on becoming a demon."

"Forgot to tell you: killing demons is my specialty!"

Ji Qing's voice suddenly rang out.

Clang.

At the same time came the crisp sound of a blade being drawn.
