Boy, You're Outdated

Three-Tail stared intently at Li Ziran, her pale eyes seeming to blaze with fire.

Even a fool could see that the surgery wasn't over at all.

It might not have much impact on Li Ziran, but it was his achievement, and he couldn't allow such a major oversight to occur in what he had done.

"Li, don't be angry. I was wrong just now. I think it can be made up for, right?" Three-Tail forcibly suppressed his anger and tried his best to be gentle. He knew very well that a head-on confrontation at this time would not benefit anyone.

He needs to preserve his current achievements; it's nothing more than a human fire mage, a matter of just a few gold coins.

It's perfectly acceptable to tolerate it, at least until the Demon Embryo has finished giving birth.

"Let me go." He smiled at the other party. He could tell the Demon's attitude from this contact. Li Ziran very clear about the rules of business. The more unattainable something is, the more precious it is. Besides, the Butterfly Girl was already barely able to survive. She had two Magic Organ to supply energy, so maybe the Embryo could be born.

However, the quality of the Embryo is another matter entirely, and what we are doing now is just right.

"To be honest with you, I have absolutely no motivation for the surgery right now. Transplanting a stomach into the Butterfly Girl requires absolute calmness, which I can't achieve. It's impossible to complete the surgery without it."

"Li, it's my request, you can't leave!" Three-Tail forced a smile through her strained facial muscles.

Li Ziran ignored it; he wasn't afraid of this Demon.

He wasn't representing himself this time. He had to admit that he was a nobody in the Shadow Society, but he also had to admit that the Demon in front of him might not be a decision-maker at all.

They were both like grasshoppers, neither able to harm the other.

What I'm doing now is partly to the bigwig in the Shadow Space, and partly to convey my attitude to the person behind the Demon.

Following my memory, I arrived at the wall and touched it carefully, but there was no way out.

"Open the door!" Li Ziran maintained his smile, but he was somewhat angry; he didn't like this kind of coercion.

"No, Li, finish what you're supposed to do, and we can part ways amicably. You can't leave here without my permission." The Three-Tail remained calm, and the forced smile on his face vanished. He knew very well that if he failed the mission, the Demon Overlord would kick him out of the game without Li Ziran even needing to intervene.

The rules for elimination in the Demon are far more brutal than those in the Wasteland.

It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is now.

Li Ziran turned around gently and asked calmly, "Your strength should be that of High Mage, right?"

"Hehe, you should call me Arcane Master. What, have you changed your mind?" Three-Tail laughed, but before the smile could fully bloom, two Corpse Witch landed, each holding a ball of oily green flame in their hands.

With a loud bang, it slammed into the wall, immediately creating ripples that seemed to pierce through the doorway.

The Demon's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that what was hindering Li Ziran was merely an illusion, and this wall couldn't withstand more than a few blows.

"Li, I'm so sorry!"

His pupils flashed, and his fingers transformed into claws, reaching out to grab Li Ziran.

Li Ziran had anticipated the attack. The moment the claws landed on him, he activated the Transformation Curse Array in advance. Instantly, a layer of oily green membrane penetrated the armor and burrowed into the Three-Tail Demon's body.

"Transformation Spell? Hah, you're asking for death!"

The Three-Tail gave a sinister smile, and from its deformed body, a Nothingness arm extended out.

Boom!

A seemingly light punch struck the Spirit World like a pillar supporting the sky, creating a gap in the entire world as mental energy leaked out uncontrollably.

Soul attack?

Li Ziran's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the Demon was a master of souls.

Ignoring the overflowing spiritual energy, he instead used the flowing spiritual power to instantly condense it into Snake Transformation Array.

This is a special Transformation Spell, completely different from the Frog Transformation; it can affect the soul.

The instant the magic circle took shape, the Demon's body, along with the soul Transformation Spell, transformed into a slender black-tailed python. Within the python's body, Li Ziran clearly sensed a massive soul.

[Devouring Curse - Serpent]

Instantly, thin strands of energy shot out from the other person's body.

"Devouring Curse?"

The Three-Tail was somewhat surprised at this moment, especially when black oil appeared on the surface of its soul and it drifted uncontrollably into Li Ziran's Spirit World.

Li Ziran chuckled inwardly. The Snake Transformation did indeed have a strong restraining effect on the soul, but there was no need to devour it.

After all, cooperation is still necessary.

But just as the Demon's soul approached, it inexplicably vanished.

When Li Ziran came to his senses, he heard a crisp sound, and a dark Tail suddenly appeared at the gap in his Spirit World. As soon as it touched the Spirit Crystal, it began to stir, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it absorbed half of the Spirit Crystal.

Devouring Curse?

Li Ziran's heart pounded wildly. This feeling was all too familiar; it was clearly being absorbed by his spiritual energy.

The Devouring Curse originated from Demon, and was later Living-Being Modification of the Red Soil Continent. This Demon even possessed the same abilities.

Thankfully, the frenzied devouring stopped, and a voice appeared in his mind, sneering, "Li Ziran, how about this Devouring Curse? Cooperate obediently, it'll be better for both of us. I'm not always this merciful."

The voice seemed to be completely etched in my mind.

Li Ziran chuckled coldly. If they could control him with such a simple trick, what kind of cooperation would they have in the future?

Not far away, the Corpse Witch's pupils flashed, and a beam of Transformation Spell light fell on Li Ziran. Instantly, Li Ziran's body and soul formed a black-tailed snake.

The suction force of the two Devouring Curse instantly enveloped Li Ziran, and the Demon's soul was about to be drawn into the vortex.

"A mere trick!" The Demon chuckled, his figure flashing as he broke free from Li Ziran's mind. After a slight pause, he burrowed into the body of the Corpse Witch, and in the blink of an eye, the two Corpse Witch were frozen in place.

Clearly, the spirit and consciousness residing inside have completely disappeared.

But when the Demon phantom descended upon Li Ziran's head again, he was greeted by a golden-covered "Holy Scripture".

"Evil is about to end, fallen souls will be Judgment. Your hiding is merely an escape from sin. All life, all attachment, will return to peace after the Judgment..."

Li Ziran's voice was very soft, but in this space, it was like a flowing blade.

Upon hearing that voice, the Three-Tail was startled and exclaimed in astonishment, "The Judgment Scripture? You're from the Inquisition?"

It suddenly condensed into a dot, burrowed into the body of the now-black-tailed snake, tapped the ground with its finger, revealing a portal, and then fled.

Li Ziran smiled faintly. This guy really can't be intimidated. With such meager skills, he still wants to resort to violence?

He certainly didn't know the Judgment Spell; he had just been using the tune he had learned in the Wasteland.

It seems to be working well.

The portal appeared, and this was clearly not a place to linger. Li Ziran looked at the Butterfly Girl groaning on the operating table and sighed softly; he was completely helpless.

Everyone experiences hardship in their life.

As for cooperating with the Demon, I believe Sandrew has a way to deal with it.

He strode towards the door, but in an instant, a Li Ziran blocked his way. It was the Three-Tail that had just escaped. It was eerie and terrifying, like a vengeful ghost. He seemed to realize that there had only been a spell, not the Judgment Light.

"You're lying to me? Your Spirit World doesn't have the Holy Sun, so how could you be someone from the Inquisition? You scared me to death! Heh, looks like I really need to teach you a lesson."

In an instant, a dark chain pierced into Li Ziran's Spirit World, transforming into a character. The character vibrated violently several times, revealing the outline of array patterns.

The moment he saw the outline, Li Ziran's heart skipped a beat. This was... the Soul Slave Seal.

A slave mark, made of spiritual power, is directly engraved on the soul. Once the mark is formed, it signifies an endless life of slavery.

This is a more terrifying mental shackle than the Slave Seal, and it is also the most common means by Demon enslave living beings.

If what happened before was just a minor squabble, he was now quite angry.

Making jokes about soul seals is not funny at all.

If you don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think he's just a quack Witch Doctor who only knows a little bit of witchcraft.

All the Spirit Crystal were shattered and transformed into pure spiritual energy that rushed towards the central text. This was the most clumsy method.

The moment his spiritual power approached the character, the strange character trembled slightly, revealing a layer of array patterns. These patterns, carrying Li Ziran's spiritual power, spun around the character and were then completely injected into the center of the Slave Array, accelerating the formation of the array.

"Heh, Li Ziran, you think you can resist while you're within the magic array?"

The Three-Tail fox's mocking voice came, but he quickly stopped laughing.

Because in the center of the Slave Array he had confidently constructed, a strange golden light appeared. This golden light, like a flame, instantly filled the entire formation, burning it to ashes. Even more strangely, this golden light extended out along the Spirit World and ignited a long, serpentine soul.

It is the soul of these three.

"Purification? How could you Purification? Are you really from the Inquisition? No, I must report to the Commander!"

Seeing the utterly panicked Three-Tail, Li Ziran chuckled. "You really think only priests know such trivial spells? Kid, you're outdated. Go back to your commander and let him see what kind of world this is."

With a flick of his finger, the burning Purification Light vanished completely, and the Three-Tail before him was already at its last gasp.

Killing the other party wouldn't actually benefit Li Ziran much.

It's always good to leave yourself an out in business.

Turning around and looking towards the door, Emily seemed completely unaware of the battle taking place, still savoring her precious glass of rum.

That couldn't be better!

But just as he took a step, three strange sounds suddenly rang out in the operating room.

Quack quack quack quack quack quack

The sound rose and fell, varying in pitch, like a harmony.

Li Ziran's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked down at his shoulder. There, he saw three Frog clumsily holding a miniature "Holy Scripture," croaking in high and low tones.

Two eyes were fixed on the three souls condensed together. The vanished Purification Light suddenly reignited, and as the sound rose and fell, wisps of souls flew out from the flames of Purification and entered the Frog's body.

"No, no, no, I don't want Judgment!"

Amidst the terrified cries of the Three-Tail, wispy souls flew out one by one, fluttering wildly in the air. As if grateful for Li Ziran's opportunity, one soul actually burrowed into the Spirit World.

In an instant, it was like a spring rain, nourishing the broken world.

Li Ziran's eyes were glazed over, this...

What should we do?

He Judgment!
