Chapter 1540 A sudden change

Chapter 1540 A sudden change

The situation is now clear as day. The real purpose of the two black-robed Demon Protectors is not the treasure on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone, but the black armor suppressed under the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone.

All kinds of strange magic patterns were engraved on the pitch-black armor, which gave people an extremely stunning feeling. The pitch-black true demonic energy emanating from it was even unable to be blocked by the black ice that sealed it.

Under the illumination of the destructive golden light emitted by Gu Lianhun, the two black-robed men from the Demon Guardian Clan finally revealed their figures, which made them feel the extreme threat.

The true demonic energy in the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was so dense that it turned the area below completely into darkness. Moreover, the true demonic energy was the power of the demon world, and even Gu Lianhun did not notice it at first.

After being discovered, the two black-robed men from the Demon Guard Clan shouted almost at the same time, and the violent demonic energy passed through their palms and slammed into the black ice that was already covered with cracks.

"Boom~" A loud bang was heard and the black ice was completely shattered. The two men in black robes also retreated more than ten steps under the violent airflow.

Although Gu Lianhun and his companions wanted to stop it, it was too late.

The pitch-black armor that was reborn from the black ice suddenly burst out with a large amount of true demonic energy, especially inside the pitch-black helmet, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed, and at the same time, an aura that looked down on the world burst out, and actually shook the surrounding true demonic energy into swirling around.

Gu Lianhun and the others all changed their expressions. The terrifying aura emanating from the pitch-black armor actually made them feel fear again.

"Welcome the Demon Lord to return to the world." The two black-robed demon protectors flew more than ten feet away again with astonishing momentum. Even the bronze masks on their faces were blown away, revealing two faces, one old and one young.

The two men were not surprised but happy. They quickly rushed to the front of the armor, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Gu Lianhun, Bai Xingge and the others' hearts sank to the bottom, they all knew that the Demon Protectors were the spiritual cultivators who had surrendered to the True Devil in the ancient times, during the time of the great unification of heaven and earth. After the True Devil's initiation and injection of demonic energy, they not only became powerful, but were also absolutely loyal to the True Devil.

After the true demon fell and the demon soul was sealed, the Demon Protectors became the target of public outcry and soon disappeared. It can be said that for countless years, the name of the Demon Protectors was rarely heard.

The pitch-black armor could actually emit such a terrifying aura. Could it be that the sealed demon soul was inside it?

Although Gu Lianhun was a little strange, the most important thing at the moment was not to seize the treasure, but how to protect himself. Even Gu Lianhun could not be sure whether the soul in the black armor was a demon soul, nor could he be sure how much combat power this demon soul could exert after countless years of suppression.

Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu also turned pale and looked alert, but they did not try to seize the treasures on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone.

Just as a few people were thinking about it, a scream suddenly sounded in the three-story hall.

The old man among the two demon protectors was seen to have five poisonous thorn-like fingers pierced into the crown of his head by the black armor. Immediately, bright red blood flowed into the armor along the five fingers of the armor.

The old demon protector also began to shrivel up at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a layer of skin covering his bones and fell down. It was obvious that even his soul had not escaped.

The other demon protector was still kneeling on the ground. Even though he was trembling all over, he did not choose to escape or dodge.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, the man in black armor slowly walked towards the young demon guardian.

Just when Gu Lianhun and his companions thought that the young demon guardian would suffer the same fate as the old man, they saw a large amount of true demonic energy emerging from the pitch-black armor, wrapping him up completely. The next moment, it actually wrapped up the young demon guardian as well.

Everyone just heard a muffled groan, and then it stopped abruptly.

The pitch-black demonic energy wrapped around the armor. It took a full cup of tea for the real demonic energy to slowly disappear. The real demonic energy in the hall seemed to be attracted by a huge suction force and shot towards the pitch-black armor like a whirlwind.

In the blink of an eye, all the true demonic energy in the hall poured into the black armor without a trace left. However, it was no longer the black armor at this time, but the young man from the Demon Guardian Clan.

The young man closed his eyes tightly, and two bloodstains could be vaguely seen from the corners of his eyes, but his entire body was covered with pitch-black armor. The black armor was shining with a shiny black color, and it was unknown what kind of metal it was made of. Every moment, magic patterns would flash, flashing across the entire armor one by one.

Upon seeing this, Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu both slowly retreated more than ten feet, their faces full of vigilance. They first glanced at Gu Lianhun next to them, and then glanced at the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone behind the young man from the Demon Protector Clan, as well as the seven flashing balls of precious light on it. They had hesitant expressions, and it was obvious that they wanted to retreat, but were reluctant to give up the treasures on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone. After all, they had experienced all kinds of dangers and hardships to be able to come to the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. If they returned empty-handed, they would be unwilling.

But at the same time, they were full of vigilance towards the young Demon Protector man wearing the pitch-black armor in front of them. It was obvious that the person in front of them was definitely not the original young Demon Protector. It was very likely that the demon soul in the armor had taken over the body of the young Demon Protector, and with the help of the true demon spirit, he controlled the body of a Mahayana demon cultivator. Just thinking about it made them feel a chill in their hearts.

"咻咻咻~~~"

At this time, inside the third-floor hall of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, figures appeared along with flashes of spiritual light. It turned out that many cultivators on the second floor had broken through the pursuit of the cold light beast and entered the third floor through the entrance.

In a short moment, at least thirty or forty cultivators came in. Most of them were in the Fusion Stage, and there were also a few in the Tribulation Stage. After they saw the surrounding scene clearly, they immediately turned their eyes to the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone behind the young man from the Demon Protector Clan.

Those seven balls of precious light were so conspicuous that one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary. Even if they were not some innate materials, they must be mid-to-high-level spiritual treasures without a doubt.

Especially after entering the third floor, there were a few cultivators who happened to be close to the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone. When they saw the seven balls of precious light on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone, they immediately stretched out their hands without hesitation and transformed into huge hands of spiritual light, grabbing towards the precious light.

"Ahhhh~~~"

Several sharp screams rang out in the empty hall, stunning all the monks who had entered the third floor. It turned out that when those monks tried to snatch the treasure, the young man from the Demon Protector Clan suddenly opened his scarlet eyes, and there was an extreme coldness in his eyes, as if a true demon from high above was staring at a group of ants.

Among the many cultivators on these three floors, most of them had never seen the young Demon Protector take action. They only saw that he was holding two still-beating hearts in his hands, and blood was dripping from between his fingers.

He was still chewing, with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. What was even more strange was that the blood on the black armor was blending into the armor at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared without a trace.

There were three corpses lying on the ground, and a few feet away from the three corpses, there was a middle-aged demon cultivator in his forties. His face was pale, and his eyes showed extreme fear. Even his whole body could not help but tremble.

Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

In this hall, only the two of them and Gu Lianhun could see clearly the actions of the young man from the Demon Guardian Clan. In the blink of an eye, he turned into three figures, pierced through the chests of the three men, and took out their hearts.

He stuffed one of the hearts directly into his mouth and held the remaining two in his hands. It seemed that these hearts were the most delicious delicacies in the world and he was reluctant to swallow them all at once.

What shocked Gu Lianhun, Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu was not only this, but the speed. It was so fast that three figures appeared in an instant. It was a visual deception brought about by the extreme speed. When the hearts of those three people were dug out, even their souls were instantly absorbed into the heart. This was what terrified the three people.

"Could this be the magical power of the real devil?" Gu Lianhun's heart sank to the bottom. Facing such a terrifying existence, he had no confidence at all that he could contend with it. It seemed that today was going to be very dangerous.

In fact, it's not just him, Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu are the same.

Most of the cultivators who entered the third floor did not see his movements clearly, but the two beating hearts in his hands told them what had just happened. Those who could enter here were all high-level cultivators, and they naturally understood the horror of the man in black armor in front of them.

"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I've swallowed such a delicious heart. The heart contains the cultivator's soul, and it tastes like the most delicious thing in the world." The young cultivator of the Demon Guardian Clan said in admiration as he swallowed the second heart as if no one was around.

Everyone present, except Xin Xingzi, felt their stomachs churning and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit after hearing this.

Even many demon monks are like this. After all, although most of them practice demonic techniques, very few of them would eat people or even dig out their hearts and chew and swallow them. This kind of existence is already perverted to the extreme. In their eyes, the weak are food.

Xin Xingzi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He and his master, the Green Robe Saint, both had the same hobby as the person in front of him, which was to eat human hearts. However, the magical powers of the person in front of him were far beyond his reach. The young cultivator of the Demon Guardian Clan, when he inserted his hand into the cultivator's chest, was able to directly absorb the cultivator's soul into his heart and seal it. Even his master, the Green Robe Saint, could not do this.

Seeing his mouth full of blood, Xin Xingzi couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looking very greedy.

However, although he also wanted to taste it, he was not stupid enough to ask for it. After all, whether it was an enemy or a friend was still a different matter.

"Senior, I am the eldest disciple of the Green Robe Saint Ancestor of the Demonic Gu Cave in the Savage Mountain of the Demonic Heaven Realm. My name is Xin Xingzi. May I know what your name is?" After the armored man put the third heart into his mouth, Xin Xingzi plucked up his courage, bowed, and spoke.

The armored man's scarlet eyes immediately fell on Xin Xingzi's face, which made his forced smile pause slightly. The magic power in his body was already running wildly. As long as the opponent made a move, he would be able to make a move at the same time.

The armored man did not attack, but stared at Xin Xingzi for a moment before speaking: "Although you are not from the Demon Guardian Clan, you are also a demon. As long as you kill the immortal cultivators here for me, I can perform the initiation method on you and make you my demon slave."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xingzi's smile froze again. Although he was a cultivator of the magic path, he was also very afraid of the magic powers of the man in front of him, but he was extremely reluctant to be his magic slave. To put it nicely, a magic slave is the subordinate of the man in front of him, but to put it bluntly, he is his puppet. Xin Xingzi has been raising poisonous insects all his life, so he knows this truth.

So he smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, you are joking. I am not worthy of being your demon slave, but I am willing to obey your orders. I only hope that you can show some leniency and let me go."

Xin Xingzi was well versed in the art of survival. After seeing the armored man's methods, he immediately abandoned Gu Lianhun and others and actually planned to stand on the side of the devil.

Gu Lianhun was not surprised, but Feng Gu was slightly startled at first, and then showed a contemptuous expression: "Xin Xingzi, this demon is cruel and murderous, and has no humanity. If you choose to stand with him, I am afraid that you will end up with the same fate as those three people. Don't eat people's hearts all your life, and in the end you get your heart ripped out by others. This is a great irony."

As Feng Gu spoke, she slowly retreated and soon stood not far from Gu Lianhun.

At the same time, a voice sounded beside Gu Lianhun's ears: "Daoyou, the situation is critical. This demon has unfathomable magical powers. We can only fight together. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lianhun just nodded and didn't say anything, but Feng Gu showed a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Are you really willing to submit to me?" The armored man suddenly looked at Xin Xingzi and revealed a strange smile.

Xin Xingzi immediately became alert, his magic power flowing, but he bowed again and said: "Of course, senior's magical power is unfathomable, I am willing to obey your orders."

"Very good, go and kill that woman. As long as you can kill her and give me her heart, I will not turn you into a demon slave. I can also teach you the supreme magical power of the demon path, allowing you to become the top existence in this world."

"Really?" Xin Xingzi showed an expression of great joy when he heard that. The one in front of him might very well be an ancient true demon. Not to mention his unpredictable fighting power, just the fact that he knew the supreme magic skills of the demon world was enough to make Xin Xingzi excited. In comparison, the treasures on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone were not so attractive.

The armored man then continued, "As long as you can do it, I will not only teach you the supreme magic skills, but also the seven treasures on the Seven Treasures Magic Stone will all belong to you."

The armored man dropped another bombshell, which completely ignited Xin Xingzi's greed.

"My two fellow Taoists, Xin Xingzi is sorry." Xin Xingzi's eyes turned cold as he looked at Feng Gu and Gu Lianhun.
