Boom boom boom~~

Bam bam bam...

The intense sound of explosions, deafening collisions, and roars echoed through the forest.

Black and red energy surged around Pei Xuan's body, covering him entirely. He looked like a terrifying demon, transforming into a black and red figure, continually charging at Lin Zheyu.

His speed was extremely fast, taking advantage of the black and red energy, breaking through air resistance, allowing him to unleash speed far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists.

Unlike Lin Zheyu, who forcefully broke through the wind resistance, exploding with supersonic speed.

Pei Xuan, as a half-demon martial artist, was not only faster but also more agile.

Whoosh whoosh——

The Azure Sky Blade continuously slashed out, the blade flashes quick as lightning, fierce and powerful.

Lin Zheyu stood still, his expression calm.

His powerful perception fully expanded, even though Pei Xuan's speed was fast, under his powerful perception, all attack methods were laid bare.

Lin Zheyu could easily sense any slight movement of Pei Xuan, immediately predicting the opponent's next attack move.

His blade, every time, could slash toward Pei Xuan from strange and tricky angles, constantly forcing him to retreat.

"His strength is much weaker than mine, but relying on the unique energy of the demon martial artist, he can exert speed faster than mine."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The demon martial artist in front of him is much stronger than those he encountered before.

Previously, Lin Zheyu could rely on his terrifying strength, his superb lightweight skill, to surpass others in both strength and speed.

But the demon martial artist in front of him is different.

The person before him definitely has reached the peak of the Transforming Force, perhaps just one step away from becoming a grandmaster-level expert.

The speed he burst out with not only surpassed supersonic speed but went beyond it.

"If it were purely a contest of strength, my strength should be above the peak of the Transforming Force, below a grandmaster."

"However, because of the lack of powerful energy like true force, under the constraint of strong wind resistance, my speed is considerably slower than a true peak Transforming Force expert."

"If I could make up for this shortcoming in speed, my overall strength should be comparable to a grandmaster."

Lin Zheyu pondered silently.

The reason why his speed could surpass supersonic speed was relying on strength far exceeding that of a peak Transforming Force martial artist, forcibly breaking through wind resistance and breaking the sound barrier.

Puff——

Sizzle sizzle...

The blade flashed like lightning, slicing through the void, occasionally striking Pei Xuan's body, breaking through the energy shield around him, leaving a huge gash.

However, the recovery ability of the demon martial artists is incredible, such minor injuries are not even considered light injuries to them.

"Quite capable, no wonder you were able to kill so many of my subordinates!" Pei Xuan's cold voice came through.

With a puff.

With a moment of inattention, Lin Zheyu's sharp blade once again broke through his energy shield, slicing Pei Xuan's arm.

This time the wound was a bit deep, even the bones in his arm were penetrated nearly a centimeter by the blade.

But that was about it.

Pei Xuan's black and red energy erupted from within, his body quickly retreated to avoid Lin Zheyu's slash.

His expression became more sinister, his eyes almost consumed by darkness.

Pei Xuan felt that the person in front of him was very peculiar.

Fighting against him was extremely frustrating, as if all his attacks could be seen through by the person in front, easily finding his flaws.

What's more bizarre is that he did not sense the aura of true force on the opponent's body.

'What exactly is this guy's origin!'

'Damn, fighting him feels more stifling than the last time I encountered that old man in Wuling City.' Pei Xuan thought.

The last time he fought with Mr. Yang, he felt a similar sense of suffocation.

That old man, like the person in front of him, could easily see through his attacks, catching his flaws.

But the difference was, that old man's strength was much weaker than the person in front of him.

Relying on his powerful strength and fearlessness of injury, Pei Xuan could overpower Mr. Yang.

But this time facing Lin Zheyu, Lin Zheyu's strength was stronger, his perception sharper, and every attack made Pei Xuan extremely wary.

At the beginning, he was nearly decapitated by Lin Zheyu's blade.

'The situation is tense now, often encountering powerful martial artists in the forest, so I need to end this quickly.'

'Since this is the last time, after this, I'll fully become a follower of the Mother of Pain, then there will be nothing left to worry about…'

'I've long wanted to try further demonization, to see what it feels like to become a half-demon.'

Pei Xuan's expression became increasingly fiendish.

His strength far surpassed his former subordinate Duan Ping, who even after half-demon demonization, could not reach the peak of Transforming Force strength.

Whereas Pei Xuan, without half-demon demonization, had cultivated the demon martial artist to the powerful peak of Transforming Force strength.

Now, he completely released the restraints on the power of Yinsha, terrifying violent, murderous, chaotic consciousness began to assault his mind.

In an instant, Pei Xuan's body changed, his over two meters tall physique expanded, bulging muscles appeared all over his body, with black and red patterns surfacing.

His terrifying muscles bulged like tumors, black and red evil patterns spread all over his body.

In a flash, Pei Xuan transformed into a terrifying monster over three meters tall.

"Half-demon!"

Lin Zheyu's brows furrowed, feeling a strong sense of crisis.

After transforming into a half-demon, Pei Xuan's aura grew increasingly terrifying, a violent and evil aura spread out, even faintly interfering with his perception field.

"No, this guy is already extremely close to a pure demon."
