Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 276 - 275 Tears of Blood
Xiao Pei barely stood up, her body trembling slightly. As she became familiar with her new body, her hands and feet undulated and rolled, revealing plasma thrusters that propelled her into the air where she spun slightly before flying away.
Xiao Pei unsteadily positioned herself behind an outer wall; bloody tendrils had completely covered her body, throbbing as if alive, and emitted bursts of black halos.
However, Xiao Pei didn’t seem to notice her abnormalities, her only desire was to find her grandfather quickly and tell him everything that had happened.
Just then, a long tail wrapped around her waist, lifting her up.
Xiao Pei turned her head and saw a huge, strange tiger with wings and long fur.
The tiger’s body seemed to be patched together from metal and flesh, thick veins protruding from its surface, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
The monster before her strikingly resembled Wang Xuanhua’s deformed brother, looking as though the deformed body had been forcefully implanted with Heavenly Demon tissues.
This was Xing Jun controlling this deformed being, Yun Long, using Heavenly Demon technology.
Xiao Pei was startled, and just as she thought of attacking, her body went limp, followed by sparks of electricity, making her feel as though her body had completely stopped functioning.
"Come with me," Xing Jun’s voice emanated from the tiger-like beast, "I didn’t expect it to actually work, transforming into Heavenly Demon induced a deformation, now you are a perfect fusion of a Heavenly Demon and a deformed body."
"Xing Jun!" Xiao Pei shouted angrily, "Let me go! I need to see my grandfather..."
"Do you still retain some cognitive abilities?" Xing Jun sounded somewhat surprised, "Keeping the brain tissue was indeed the right choice. The Heavenly Demon Pool and the deformities aren’t compatible."
Seeing Xiao Pei still struggling to see Zhao Shouyi, Xing Jun spoke indifferently, "You want to see Zhao Shouyi? Haha, seeing you in your current state, he would probably kill you on sight." His eyes narrowed slightly, thinking, "I can only stop her body, not fully control it? Is this also an effect of the deformation?"
Xiao Pei was shaken and looked at Xing Jun, "That’s not true, my grandfather knows I joined Heavenly Demon for the sake of humanity’s survival, he supports me."
"He supports you?" Xing Jun’s voice was like a devil’s whisper, emanating directly from the Heavenly Demon tissues on Xiao Pei, "He pretended to join forces with Heavenly Demons, did you know? The Heavenly Demons inside the city have been gradually cleared out."
Xing Jun burst into laughter, "Zhao Shouyi, for the sake of the battle plan, chose to sacrifice you, to join forces with Heavenly Demons through your sacrifice."
Xiao Pei’s eyes became vacant, the red-black tendrils on her body violently oscillating, her hair shooting into the sky turning red one by one, as if soaked in fresh blood.
"That’s impossible, you are spouting nonsense. And I can control myself, my grandfather will understand."
"You don’t believe it?" The tiger opened its mouth, projecting beams of Guang Ying, depicting the recent battle between Zhao Shouyi and the Heavenly Demons: "See? You have been abandoned, they had no intention of siding with the Heavenly Demons, yet they watched you get transformed."
Xiao Pei’s head shook slightly, "Impossible, it can’t be true..."
"It can’t be?" Xing Jun smiled, and just then, a burst of white Primordial Spirit force struck, Yun Long quickly pulled Xiao Pei aside, turning around to see Li Xiuzhu, who had floated over at some point.
Li Xiuzhu spoke, "Leave Xiao Pei behind." He looked at the drastically changed Xiao Pei, taken aback, and couldn’t help but remember the appearances of Xiao Pei’s parents. He clenched the second charm, ’I don’t know if the second charm can save her, but I must try no matter what.’
Xing Jun said coldly, "Li Xiuzhu?" Seeing Li Xiuzhu’s pitiful state, he sneered, "You look like this, and you still have the leisure to care about others?"
Annie also stepped forward, and she and Li Xiuzhu chased after him, only to discover that the deformed creature controlled by Xing Jun possessed the ability for Instantaneous Movement. It flickered away swiftly with Xiao Pei, leaving Annie and the severely injured Li Xiuzhu unable to catch up.
Li Xiuzhu looked at the deformed creature, which resembled a tiger, and thought to himself, ’Is the Heavenly Demon also trying to grasp the power of the deformed creature? Must I capture Xiao Pei?’
Just as a hexagram in Li Xiuzhu’s hand lit up, Annie grabbed his wrist and exclaimed angrily, "Have you gone mad? You want to use the hexagram to capture Xiao Pei in your condition? Triggering this will kill you!"
Li Xiuzhu, holding the hexagram in his hand, suddenly showed hesitation in his eyes. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he still had too many things to accomplish and was not ready to die here.

At that moment, a long sword swept across the sky, and Zhao Shouyi appeared on the battlefield. He transmitted to Li Xiuzhu, "You must leave; the True Lord has already noticed you."
Li Xiuzhu exhaled and transmitted back to Zhao Shouyi, "Save Xiao Pei!" The next moment, he and Annie quickly retreated.
Xing Jun tried to escape but saw Zhao Shouyi forming hand seals. The Celestial Star Formation activated, enveloping the entire city in a light membrane. Beams of starlight rained down, and chains seemed to form, locking onto Xing Jun and Xiao Pei.
At this moment, as the Heavenly Demon army retreated, Zhao Shouyi could finally unleash the power of the Celestial Star Formation on the enemies within Donghua City.
Seeing Xing Jun controlling the deformed creature and attempting to flee using Instantaneous Movement, he was ultimately restrained by beams of starlight that applied all over Donghua City. Blood and fragments burst from his body, temporarily suppressing him.
Xing Jun, facing Zhao Shouyi stepping through the air towards him, said directly, "Zhao Shouyi, you have no idea what is before you. The significance of Xiao Pei far exceeds your imagination. Release us immediately, or your actions today will bring doom upon the entire Donghua City."
Zhao Shouyi ignored Xing Jun, instead looking at Xiao Pei and scanning her back and forth with Primordial Spirit power, his face showing a look of sorrow.
Xiao Pei: "Grandpa..."
The magic treasure ’Heavenly Theft Diagram’ lit up behind Zhao Shouyi, and the sword lights within the diagram aimed at Xiao Pei’s figure.
"Xiao Pei, I am sorry, I warned you several times," Zhao Shouyi closed his eyes. "But from the moment you decided to side with the Heavenly Demon, you and I have become mortal enemies, with no room for reconciliation."
"You go ahead, Xiao Pei, and I will join you after my sacrifice."
Xiao Pei stared blankly at Zhao Shouyi: "Grandpa..."
The next moment, hundreds of sword lights had already pierced through Xiao Pei’s body.
One of them, carrying strands of sharp Sword Qi, directly penetrated Xiao Pei’s brain, shredding her head to pieces.
But the next moment, a torrential dark aura spread from Xiao Pei’s body, and tears of blood kept falling from the corners of her eyes: "Grandpa, I can control myself."
"Still changing?" Zhao Shouyi was startled and was about to attack again when a black vortex suddenly formed behind Xiao Pei, instantly engulfing Xiao Pei and the tiger, causing Zhao Shouyi’s attack to miss.
Zhao Shouyi gravely said, "Is this... a hexagram?"
