Demon Sealing

Night, suburbs.

In the construction site with collapsed walls, an invisible force gathered from the mutant corpse cut in half, transforming into five wisps of black Demonic Qi and flying towards Jiang Hou.

As this Demonic Qi approached Jiang Hou, it circled him like a living thing before finally merging into his left arm, forming an incomplete black rune on the white bandage.

The moment the black rune formed, a shrill scream exploded in Jiang Hou's ears, and the Netherworld Prison Demon Blade in his hand became heavier, its blade even sharper.

At the same time, the Demonic Qi he had exhausted with his previous strike was replenished out of nowhere, and the total amount of Demonic Qi units on his attribute page increased by 10.

This change moved Jiang Hou slightly.

Killing a Second Order Mutant granted him the residual resentment and soul power to condense half a Hell Rune, increasing his total Demonic Qi by 10 points.

According to this rate of increase, he could break through to Third Order, or even late Third Order, by killing about seventy Second Order transcendent beings and condensing thirty-six Hell Runes.

He didn't need Energy Crystals or Demon Power Crystals, or any other inheritance-aligned resources; he could continuously increase his strength through slaughter alone.

As expected of a Demon Blade. Jiang Hou didn't feel afraid of the Netherworld Prison Demon Blade's characteristics; instead, he felt a strange excitement.

The only regret was that the Netherworld Prison Demon Blade could currently only bear thirty-six Hell Runes. If he wanted to break through to Fourth Order, he would have to fuse another Demon Blade fragment.

At this moment, a faint sound of air being torn apart rang out, and Jiang Ruochan, wearing a black trench coat and with her hands in her pockets, appeared beside Jiang Hou, her tone surprised.

"Both of you are Second Order transcendents. I thought you would fight for a dozen rounds, and you would eventually kill him with your profound foundation. But I didn't expect that life and death would be decided in just two strikes."

Jiang Ruochan didn't care about Jiang Hou's 'little' strength; she was mainly surprised by the clean and decisive way Jiang Hou fought.

He didn't hesitate at all when facing the enemy. After exchanging a blow and realizing the difference in strength between them, he decisively unleashed his strongest strike to kill him, giving the opponent no chance to resist.

Jiang Hou said modestly, "It's mainly because this Mutant was too weak, and that strike just now almost exhausted all the power in my body, which is why it was so powerful."

"That's true. Only you can use this kind of killing move." Jiang Ruochan nodded.

In a normal battle between transcendents, they would leave some room for maneuver when attacking, and would not unleash all their power at once, in case they were no match and needed to escape or retreat.

Only Jiang Hou dared to instantly exhaust all the energy in his body, maximizing the power of the Demon Sealing Instant Slash to unleash his strongest strike.

And even if this strike failed to kill the enemy, he would still have a physical strength comparable to a mid-Second Order, allowing him to easily deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.

At this moment, black and white light flowed around Jiang Hou, and the tip of the Netherworld Prison Demon Blade pierced into the palm of his left hand, eventually disappearing into his body.

Jiang Ruochan smiled faintly, "In any case, tonight's first club activity has come to a successful conclusion." As she spoke, she took out a small black book and threw it to Jiang Hou.

"This is your certificate. This identity can help you avoid a lot of trouble, and it will make it much easier to handle some trivial matters."

Jiang Hou took the black book. The front was written with the two large characters Sky Punishment and the national emblem of this country. When he opened it, there was his ID photo and profile information.

Sky Punishment Division Wind Chime Group Special Combat Agent, number Dragon: 0017899. No rank, only group, and not belonging to the Wing City branch. Jiang Hou glanced at the handsome girl with her hands in her pockets and her hair flying in the night wind, and put away the black book.

At the same time, Jiang Hou felt a little emotional. He never thought that one day he would join the official organization and be given a position in this way.

Does this count as getting on the right side?

While Jiang Hou was lost in thought, Jiang Ruochan had already taken out her phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the other side answered, and a woman's voice came, "Hello, this is the Jingshan District Cleaning Department. What can I do for you?"

"No. 144, West Section, Tiger Mountain Street. I just dealt with a Mutant 'creature'. Come and clean it up."

"...Just a moment, I'll notify the officers on duty immediately."

After Jiang Ruochan finished the call, Zong Zheng Nanmo ran out of the collapsed wall opening, panting. But before he could speak, Jiang Ruochan waved her hand.

"Today's club activities are over, dismissed on the spot."

After saying that, the black-haired girl turned around smartly, her figure flashed and appeared at the end of the street, and then disappeared in another flash, her speed was astonishingly fast.

"...President, so strong!" Zong Zheng Nanmo opened his mouth wide, somewhat shocked.

Jiang Hou glanced at him: "Is there even a need to say that?"

Without any contact in the huge campus, she could 'see at a glance' that he and Zong Zheng Nanmo were Mutants. With this kind of strength, one doesn't need to think to know how strong Jiang Ruochan is.

"Let's go too." As he spoke, Jiang Hou took out his phone and opened the ride-hailing app, while walking towards the street corner in the distance, so it would be easier to get a car later.

It's still early today, after going back he can still go to the Ruins to kill a few Ferocious Beasts to eat.

It's a pity that the Inheritance Mark's entry and exit points for the Ruins and the real world are fixed, otherwise he would have just found a corner to leave, saving him the taxi fare.

"It's just... over like this?"

Zong Zheng Nanmo looked at Jiang Hou's departing back, and then looked at the dark construction site behind him, as well as the broken corpse on the ground, and quickly followed.

"Wait for me, Jiang Hou."

Speaking of which, wasn't he here to watch the excitement today? Why does it feel like he's been running away the whole time? ...

Dim and oppressive world.

On the trunk of a hundred-meter-tall tree, a figure with the lower body covered in incomplete armor, wrapped in bandages, and holding a ferocious and gorgeous Miaodao appeared out of thin air.

"There are no Ferocious Beasts entrenched here today?"

On the tree trunk, Jiang Hou looked at the empty and dilapidated Palace in the distance, a hint of regret in his eyes. He was even thinking of coming over today to pick up a Ferocious Beast to fill his stomach first.

With no ready-made Ferocious Beasts to eat, Jiang Hou focused his attention on himself.

He wanted to try whether he could still maintain the Divine Weapon fusion form when transforming into a Giant Beast. If he could, then the Black Armor Giant Ape's strength would become even more terrifying.

A Giant Beast wielding a Divine Weapon, how scary would that be! Boom! The air vibrated, Jiang Hou's figure rapidly expanded like a balloon, the instantaneous burst of compression caused the surrounding air to be rapidly repelled, forming a gale.

But just as Jiang Hou's body expanded, black and white light flowed on his body, and together with the Netherworld Prison Demon Blade he was holding, they turned into light and disappeared from his hand.

Roar! A deep and violent roar slowly sounded, and a thirteen-meter-tall Black Armor Giant Ape appeared, its huge and burly figure like a small mountain, full of oppression.

It doesn't work? The Black Armor Giant Ape lowered its head, looking at its empty palm with some regret, and then its figure disappeared into the forest.

This time, the Black Armor Giant Ape still searched horizontally, targeting Second Order and Third Order Ferocious Beasts.

The flesh and blood of these low-level Ferocious Beasts convert into much less energy for the current Giant Ape, and growth will be slower, but it is safer.

And going deeper into the forest to kill stronger Ferocious Beasts, such as Fourth Order ones, would lead to faster growth, but the risk would also be greater.

What if it encounters not a Fourth Order, but a Fifth Order or Sixth Order Ferocious Beast? In this dangerous Ruins world, no one knows what they will encounter in the next moment.

Being cautious, the Black Armor Giant Ape moved horizontally for nearly twenty kilometers before making a discovery under a collapsed towering tree.

Next to the trunk, which was more than ten meters thick, lay a ferocious Ferocious Beast nearly twenty meters long, covered in green scales, shaped like a giant lizard but with two dinosaur heads.

Hiss!! The Two-Headed Ferocious Beast suddenly stood up, its two heads staring intently at the Black Armor Giant Ape emerging from the distant forest, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Roar! A violent and savage roar erupted, shaking the earth.

A minute later, the Black Armor Giant Ape carried the Ferocious Beast's corpse, torn in two, eating as it walked, soon disappearing into the depths of the forest.

I'm a bit late today, I need to hurry to eat a few more.
