Demonization

"Demonization!"

Zhang Xuezhou had seen Demonization humans, but he rarely saw humans transform into demons.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou possessed Demon Power, he had relatively stable control over it. As his spiritual power grew stronger, he continuously grasped this power grafted into his body, even driving the continuous development of the Technique Within the Clouds.

Zhang Xuezhou had some knowledge about humans transforming into demons, but not much. He only knew that the Xiong State could not control their Demon Power, which led to the phenomenon of Demonization and tyranny.

Those who are Demonization will experience physical mutations, develop a savage and bloodthirsty nature, and eventually lose their reason, becoming neither human nor demon.

If some kind of evil spirit's Demon Power were implanted into the body of Xiong State, Zhang Xuezhou felt that after Demonization, it might produce a condition similar to that of the Black Pine.

Zuo Zhong may have already died, but when this black pine tree became Demonization, it borrowed Zuo Zhong's three souls and seven spirits, thus exhibiting all sorts of strange behaviors.

"If Zuo Jin can mass-produce these Demonization plants, what will happen in the future?" Ren Anran asked. "And what methods did he use to make people disappear, thus transforming the trees into demonic forms?"

"I don't know either," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But I obtained an item with similar abilities in Qin Meng, which I can use to conduct related experiments later."

Zhang Xuezhou had two sealed boxes. One box contained the bronze tortoise from Dongshan, and the other box contained a large medicine from the Qinmeng Snake Cave, as well as a pale yellow hard lump spit out by Huhao.

According to Hu Hao's explanation, this hard lump can be used to enlighten ferocious beasts.

Zuo Jin's ability is rare, but not unique; it's simply a difference brought about by racial differences.

"Should we deploy firearms and fire a shell at the villa on the Zuo Jin?"

Zhou Rihui and Zhou Yueyan made phone calls and sent the photos they had taken.

After the handover, Zhou Rihui's expression became extremely serious.

Zhang Xuezhou and others were raising Zuo Jin, trying to find traces of Huang Daoxian in Zuo Jin —a fact known only to a few.

Zhou Rihui had no idea about these things, but he simply believed that the Zuo Household's situation was inextricably linked to Zuo Jin.

He even felt it was a disastrous scene of inhumane genetic experimentation.

Regardless of whether it's a transformation or a disguise, this bizarre combination of tree and human form will not be allowed to exist in the mainstream society of the Scarlet Alliance State.

"It might be too late!"

Ren Wuyang, who had been relatively silent, let out a shout, which prompted Ren Anran to quickly take a few steps forward.

When she lifted the curtains in the living room of Zuo Teng's villa, she saw lush trees outside the villa. The previously flat lawn undulated like waves, and countless grass roots, like ivy, kept growing wildly towards the villa.

Within minutes of the black pine tree breaking, the villa was nearly half-encased in grass roots, while the green trees seemed to have grown legs, constantly moving forward in the soil and sprouting countless branches and leaves, as if trying to trap the people inside the villa.

When Ren Anran looked into the distance, she saw that many large trees in the Zuo Household area were swaying back and forth as if they had encountered a strong wind, and the leaves were making a crackling sound.

Clearly, the vegetation in the Zuo Teng villa area is not the only place experiencing this abnormality; the vegetation in other areas is also showing signs of opening its mouth wide, waiting to devour any strangers who step in.

In the Zuo Household's area, it seems that only Demonization plants are considered normal living beings, while humans are seen as outcasts.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, Ren Wuyang was clearly a little flustered, but Ren Anran and the others remained calm after checking the situation, he had no choice but to calm down as well.

"Zuo Jin shouldn't be in that villa!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded to Zhou Rihui with a sound, then turned to look out the window.

When the Yin Entity Tracking Technique was released again, Zhang Xuezhou saw the purple light of the Tracking Technique intensify, and the Yin spirits from many dwellings seemed to be constantly approaching the villa.

"Without the protection of the physical body, the spirit is just a drifting duckweed, completely countered by the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Brother Wuyang, how about we have a friendly match to test our skills?"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the situation outside the villa, indicating that everything was merely for show.

Just like the combination of genes, Demonization can be strong or weak.

If the main body is human, and the power of Demonization is added to enhance the ability, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this kind of Demonization would be more troublesome. The stronger the Sequence Holder, the more destructive it would be. Apart from the lack of chapters in the fighting style due to the chaos in the brain, there were no other problems.

If ordinary trees, vines, and grass are used as the main elements, and human thoughts are added to them, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the power that such Demonization could bring would be extremely limited.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming force of the vegetation outside the villa, the damage caused by the rampant growth of trees and shrubs is extremely limited; at present, it is even difficult to penetrate the villa's brick walls.

If the general direction indicated by the Yin Entity Tracking Technique could be used to deter and strike, Zhang Xuezhou believed that this strange situation would subside in a short time.

He called out to Ren Wuyang, Ren Wuyang but to begin activating his genetic power.

"Hey!"

As the reprimanding voice rang out, Ren Wuyang had already unleashed his signature Dragon Elephant Combat Technique through the window.

The clash of minds produced no earth-shattering sound, but as his Dragon Elephant Combat Technique spread forward, numerous wildly growing grass roots, like cockroaches sprayed with insecticide, fell from the villa's exterior wall in a short moment, causing a series of collapse sounds and prompting the outdoor green trees to stretch out their branches and repeatedly lash at the villa.

"These trees are so strong that even glass can't be broken by hammering them!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the green trees, indicating that the scene outside the villa was just a bluff.

In any case, even a flawed cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm is more than capable of easily defeating various lesser demons, even if these lesser demons are in groups.

When the oppressive force of a realm's power descends, not many lesser demons will be able to escape safely.

The Dragon Elephant Combat Technique produced a similar effect of overwhelming power, almost completely countering these Demonization grasses and trees.

"Zuo Zhong's strength is not weak, how did he end up like this?" Ren Anran whispered, pointing to the black pine tree that had broken in two.

"People need rest, and their defenses are almost zero when they're asleep," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "The daytime isn't their domain either!"

"It seems the Zuo Household members were caught off guard after nightfall and were thus murdered!"

"No, there's another, rather unique ability that might be the main reason for the problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

Ren Anran did not go to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum to explore the tomb, but Zhou Rihui had witnessed the unusual radiance of the purple gladiolus and even suffered from its poison.

When Zhang Xuezhou said a few words, Zhou Rihui, who was thinking about the missing sword orchid, changed his expression drastically and began to look around for something that could block out the light and protect him without hindering his movement.

It wasn't night yet...

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to signal Zhou Rihui that there was no need to panic, two claps of thunder shook the window, and a howling wind swept by, darkening the sky almost instantly.

Although it was 11 a. m., night fell in a short time, and it was almost as if it were night.

As the rain pattered down, Zhang Xuezhou saw pairs of red eyes appear in the distance, and strangely shaped straw figures rose from the ground, swaying as they approached the villa.

"They can summon wind and rain, and even the grass and trees seem like soldiers!"

As Ren Wuyang muttered, "It's suddenly raining in this area; the weather forecast for Western Capital City is inaccurate," Zhang Xuezhou felt as if the military tactics he had heard of in the past had suddenly appeared in this world.

He recalled the rumors that Huang Daoxian could summon wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers, and felt that he had already glimpsed Huang Daoxian's basic abilities.
