Chen Guan had thought Guo Pin was already dead, but Guo Pin suddenly attacked.
The sight caught them both completely off guard!
Just as Guo Pin's fist was about to touch Qin Yanran—
Golden light burst from her body, forcing Guo Pin back several steps!
Qin Yanran watched, her face pale as paper. She had no idea what had just happened!
"Guo Pin, you're still alive?"
Chen Guan stepped in front of Qin Yanran, watching the man before him with cold eyes.
But Guo Pin didn't answer. Instead, his body began to twist uncontrollably.
His bones crackled, making their scalps crawl!
After a long moment, he stopped moving.
The flesh on his body began to tear apart, and a massive black shadow appeared before them!
"This..."
Chen Guan and Qin Yanran stared at the scene in shock!
A perfectly normal person had turned into something so monstrous!
"It seems Guo Pin practiced a demonic cultivation art too. His body has already been taken over by a demon!"
Qin Yanran spoke slowly, utterly certain.
Her right hand clutched the hem of her clothes, revealing just how nervous she was.
Chen Guan nodded and told her to step back.
The realm the system had forcibly raised him to hadn't worn off yet!
He had to use this window to kill the demon before him!
"Ah!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore from Guo Pin's throat.
Then he charged at Chen Guan.
His body seemed to teleport, appearing before Chen Guan in an instant.
Before Chen Guan could react, Guo Pin's massive frame slammed into him with brutal force!
The tremendous impact sent Chen Guan flying like a kite with its strings cut. He spat blood in midair and crashed to the ground!
After Guo Pin transformed into a demon, his realm had surged by more than just a little. He likely had the strength of a seventh-stage Blood Forging Realm cultivator now!
"Young Master Chen, you're no match for him! We must flee at once!"
Qin Yanran's words reached Chen Guan's ears.
But he remained unmoved!
Judging by Guo Pin's speed, escaping was practically impossible!
All he could do now was meet force with force!
"System, is there any other way to forcibly raise my realm?"
Chen Guan quickly contacted the system in his mind.
But this time, the system didn't answer, much to his disappointment. It seemed there was no other way!
But Guo Pin wouldn't give him such an opportunity!
The enormous body charged again, and even though he only swung his fist—
The air around them twisted with it, a chilling testament to the terrifying power he now wielded!
Chen Guan hurriedly used Whirlwind Wind Steps to dodge.
But the warped air pinned him in place, leaving him helpless to watch Guo Pin charge at him!
"Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art!"
Chen Guan roared as golden light enveloped his body.
The sudden burst of power let him break free of the air's restraints in an instant!
But Guo Pin's fist had already slammed into his chest.
Chen Guan could even hear his breastbone shatter! Blood poured from his mouth in a ceaseless stream!
This was the first time he had ever faced a situation like this!
"Young Master Chen, Guo Pin has become a Demon Body! He has no consciousness of his own now; all he knows is killing!"
Qin Yanran's explanation still rang in his ears.
But Chen Guan was sprawled on the ground, unable to get back up.
The realm he'd forcibly gained had already vanished, leaving his body utterly weak as a side effect!
He hadn't been a match for this Demon Body to begin with. Now, in such a weakened state, he was even less able to fight.
"Is this really as far as I can go?"
Chen Guan gave a bitter, unwilling laugh.
All he could do was watch as Guo Pin charged at him in demonic form. His body was too weak to even rise!
[The host has encountered a Demon Body. The host may consume the remaining Demon Lifespan to fuse Dragon Elephant Power and enter the Dragon Elephant Body.]
The system's voice rang through his mind!
There was no time to think it over. "Fuse Dragon Elephant Power!"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
He felt the power within the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art pour into his body!
Before, he could only wield this Dragon Elephant Power. Now, he himself had become this power!
The forms of a dragon and an elephant gathered around his body.
Even his shattered breastbone was restored, whole again!
[Host: Chen Guan]
[Lifespan: Four years]
[Martial Art: Pecking Sparrow Strength (Mortal Grade High Rank). Lifespan required to upgrade to the next realm: 0/70 years]

[Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art has reached the third layer. Entered the third stage of the Blood Forging Realm. Obtained three layers of Dragon Elephant Power.]
[Realm increased: Lifespan +1]
The instant this series of system notifications appeared in his mind—
Guo Pin had already rushed up to him, his fist hurtling down toward Chen Guan's head.
Qin Yanran closed her eyes, unable to bear watching what came next!
But she didn't hear the sound of Cheng An's head being smashed. She opened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Chen Guan, who had been lying motionless on the ground, had suddenly risen.
He grabbed Guo Pin's fist, stopping it dead!
"So this is the true power of the third stage of the Blood Forging Realm?"
Chen Guan couldn't help feeling thrilled.
His eyes filled with killing intent as he stared at Guo Pin, then slammed a punch into him!
Seven hundred pounds of force sent Guo Pin staggering back several steps!
Even though Chen Guan had reached the third stage of the Blood Forging Realm, the gap between him and Guo Pin was still considerable!
But now he was confident he could defeat Guo Pin. The Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art was no ordinary cultivation art!
And after he gained three layers of Dragon Elephant Power, the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art underwent its first transformation.
"Dragon Elephant Fist!"
Chen Guan stepped forward with an unusual gait, a golden dragon's shadow coiling around his arm.
The moment Guo Pin charged at him again, golden light flashed from Chen Guan's eyes.
The Dragon Elephant Fist slammed into Guo Pin's fist!
The golden dragon's shadow gathered and flowed into Guo Pin's body.
A bloodcurdling scream burst from Guo Pin's mouth. Much of the demonic aura around his body dissolved at once, forcing him to retreat!
The Dragon Elephant Fist was the new martial art he had gained when the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art reached its third layer.
But to increase its power, he would have to improve the Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Art; lifespan alone couldn't upgrade it!
"Young Master Chen! You did it!"
Qin Yanran cried out excitedly at the sight.
It was as if no matter what danger he faced, Chen Guan always had a way to overcome it.
But Guo Pin's Demon Body was no easy foe!
His body instantly split into four parts, surrounding Chen Guan. They attacked from all four directions at once!
