Consecutive Battles, Dual Fifth Tier Devil Race

The emerald green light slowly dissipated, and Xuan Ye opened his eyes.

The information on the panel caused the corners of his tightly drawn lips to lift slightly.

Not bad.

In just over two months, he had gone from a knight who had just entered the Third Tier to the Mid Fourth Tier. He possessed over a thousand Inner Spiritual Power and even several Mastery Level techniques that only Fourth Tier Knights could wield.

If he had cultivated step by step, he would perhaps only have just stabilized at the threshold of the Fourth Tier by now.

Not to mention, the evolution progress of "Vengeance" was already nearing Perfection.

But the faint light in his eyes quickly extinguished.

Not enough.

Still far from enough!

This level of strength was no different from an ant in front of that man.

Long Xingyu!

The thought of that name made the flames in his chest cavity burn even hotter, and the desire for vengeance almost broke through his reason.

It was precisely because the system had given him hope, given him a shortcut, that he had become increasingly eager, dancing madly on the blade's edge.

In these past two months, he had almost killed himself several times.

He sometimes felt that the "Long Xuan Ye" of the past was completely dead.

The current him possessed nothing but vengeance.

What resided in this shell was a monster, completely unrelated to the gentle personality of the ordinary person from his previous life.

Xuan Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions, and flashed out of the tree hollow.

He needed to become stronger, faster.

In these past two months, Xuan Ye had also done some contemplation.

Ilex's inheritance!

It was definitely a huge gain.

If Long Haochen could have an encounter, why couldn't he, with his stronger talent?

If he could find him, everything would be different.

But the problem was, where could he find him?

The Devil Race territory was so vast, and he had no clue.

Hope was so slim it was almost invisible.

Meanwhile, deep within the Devil Race hinterland, inside an Undead Tower.

A ball of gray Soul Fire was anxiously pulsating.

"I sensed it... on the border... but it's too far..."

Ilex felt extremely urgent.

That aura of perfect coexistence between light and darkness was definitely a Rarely Seen in Ten Thousand Years genius!

But that child seemed to only be active on the border, and it was impossible for them to reach the hinterland in a short time.

How could he make contact?

Hope was equally slim.

Ilex was burning with anxiety.

Xuan Ye, of course, didn't know that the person he was Desperately Seeking was also Worried about not finding him.

These past two months, he hadn't just been fighting madly; he had also made plans.

To Act Freely within the Devil Race territory, and even to find a Clue to Ilex, he needed intelligence.

And the best Intelligence Network was controlled by the Moon Demon Race.

Disguising himself as a Moon Demon was a Move he had made after Careful Consideration.

The Moon Demon Race was Based On business, with their people Spread Throughout the entire Devil Race territory.

As long as he could contact their High-Level members, relying on his Previous Life's knowledge of Business Marketing...

It might not be a Dimensional Reduction Strike, but broadening their business model's Ideas, and exchanging it for their Trust and help, should not be difficult.

What's more, Xuan Ye was also a Moon Demon Race member, One of Us.

A sudden urgent Rustling sound echoed through the forest.

Xuan Ye's planned thoughts were Interrupted.

He looked Up towards the direction of the sound.

Here they come.

Soon, Two Figures, One After Another, Leaped Out from behind the Lush Bushes.

One was clad in heavy bone armor, its form as sturdy as rock.

The other had membranous wings, its movements swift and ghostly.

Two Fifth Tier Devil Race beings—the Bone Armor Rock Demon and the Wind Wing Shadow Demon.

The Bone Armor Rock Demon's murky pupils locked onto Xuan Ye, its voice a gruff mockery.

"You traitor of the Moon Demon Race, you're just like your kind, never united with other devil races!"

"Killing you today will earn me a reward from Lord Valen for your head!"

The Wind Wing Shadow Demon circled in mid-air, letting out a piercing, sinister laugh.

"The Moon Demon Race only produces ungrateful wretches. Killing you is like cleaning house for the devil race!"

Xuan Ye's eyes suddenly darkened.

Valen.

He knew the name. A powerful devil race leader in the Border region.

When he had first disguised himself as a Moon Demon, he had only killed low-tier devils that no one cared about, never causing any ripples.

Now, a devil race leader was sending people to hunt him down. This matter had clearly escalated.

And... it was likely targeting the Moon Demon Race as well.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"A bunch of trash who only know how to bluster because of their tier, you dare talk about 'cleaning house'?"

The Bone Armor Rock Demon and the Wind Wing Shadow Demon were enraged.

In their eyes, the Moon Demon before them was covered in wounds, its spiritual energy chaotic, clearly at the end of its rope.

A Fourth Tier daring to speak so arrogantly to two Fifth Tiers?

The two exchanged a glance, instantly reaching a tacit understanding, and launched their attacks simultaneously.

"Seeking death!"

The Bone Armor Rock Demon roared, its rock-covered giant fist, carrying immense force, smashing directly towards Xuan Ye's face.

The Wind Wing Shadow Demon swooped down from the sky, its membranous wings vibrating with a shriek, its claws like hooks, aiming straight for his vital back.

Facing this deadly pincer attack, Xuan Ye showed no panic on his face.

He gripped "Vengeance" in his hand.

Hummm--

The Chaos Spirit Furnace within his body spun rapidly.

The Knight technique that should have released Light Spiritual Power was instantly tainted with profound darkness under the furnace's transformation.

His originally accustomed thrusting technique, "Shadow Thrust," transformed from the Pure White Blade, underwent a new change at this moment!

Master-level proficiency brought about a qualitative change in the skill!

What emanated from the sword body was a dense black glow, more condensed and more destructive than ordinary dark spiritual power.

"Netherworld Thrust!"

Xuan Ye first shifted his footing, narrowly dodging the Bone Armor Rock Demon's heavy punch with a sideways movement.

At the same time, he swung his sword with his backhand towards the Wind Wing Shadow Demon swooping down from the air!

That deep black glow accurately cleaved the membrane wings the Wind Wing Shadow Demon prided itself on.

"Sizzle--"

Where the black glow touched, flesh and blood seemed to be corroded by strong acid, instantly creating a huge gash!

"Ahhhhh!"

The Wind Wing Shadow Demon let out a piercing scream, losing its balance and falling from the air in a sorry state.

The Bone Armor Rock Demon's attack missed. Seeing its companion injured, it became even more enraged. Its massive rock fist, carrying the sound of wind-tearing air, smashed down again.

Xuan Ye took a deep breath.

This time, he did not dodge.

He activated the core ability of the Chaos Spirit Furnace.

"Chaos Begins!"

In an instant, a black and purple spiritual power vortex exploded out of thin air before him.

The vortex was not large, but it seemed to contain the power to devour everything.

The Bone Armor Rock Demon's punch slammed into it, only to disappear like a clay ox entering the sea, without causing even the slightest ripple.

The next moment, a force even more violent than before rebounded fiercely from the vortex!

The Bone Armor Rock Demon was caught off guard and was violently repelled by this power originating from itself.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It retreated several steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. Its seemingly indestructible rock armor even showed spiderweb-like cracks.

Now!
