After waiting for a while, Fang Lin Kong was truly afraid of being seen in his current state. Surrounded by a swirl of seven-colored light, it looked quite cool, but it was merely an external display; men should focus more on inner substance. Seeing that no further attacks were imminent, Fang Lin Kong split off ten Wutu Zhenluo to disperse in all directions and scout the enemy situation.
The cultivation method of the Seeking Demon Bug was very simple, even Fang Lin Kong could easily grasp it. Moreover, the Wutu Zhenluo was a Primordial Anomaly, naturally surrounded by innate Earth True Qi, specifically designed to absorb the essence and blood of cultivators, and it had a strong spiritual nature that made it excellent for refining.
The Wutu Zhenluo flew swiftly, quickly searching every corner of the company without missing a spot. Once he confirmed that there were no enemies present, Fang Lin Kong cautiously put away his treasures. However, before he could catch his breath, a loud crash echoed as a group of muscular men burst through the door.
Startled, Fang Lin Kong was about to take action when he realized they were firefighters. Although he tried to conceal himself carefully, the brilliance of his treasures still broke through the windows and shone brightly onto the street. Inside, red light filled the room as if there were a fire. Someone had called the fire department.
Fang Lin Kong didn’t know why he felt this way, but upon seeing the Guardians of the People—servants of society—he instinctively shrank back and hid in another room.
“Hey! Over here!”
Fang Lin Kong suddenly realized he had done something foolish; this room would be found in no time. Besides, why was he hiding from firefighters? Just then, a clear and pleasant voice rang out from the window behind him.
Turning around, he saw a girl about his age leaning out of the window and waving at him.
Fang Lin Kong finally recognized through his training that this girl was human and not a monster. The spiritual seal he had been forming did not falter in his hands.
“Who are you?”
“Come with me! I’m curious about who you are too!”
Hearing the footsteps of the firefighters approaching, Fang Lin Kong felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He hurriedly took two steps to the window and looked outside, startled. The company was on the fourth floor; while it wasn’t very high, an ordinary person would certainly be injured if they fell.
He hesitated, wondering if it would be safer to clarify things with the firefighters rather than run away like this. Just then, the girl outside tugged at his collar and pulled him up into the air. Moreover, it seemed they were rising higher and higher.
As the wind rushed past his ears, Fang Lin Kong experienced a sensation reminiscent of a Korean film where the female lead ran between skyscrapers in an action-fantasy setting translated as Arhat or Asura. The girl’s speed clearly surpassed any known creature. Between dozens of floors, she soared like an elf gliding on the wind; her light steps even allowed her to run straight up vertical walls using just a bit of friction to propel herself from four or five floors up to over fifty stories high.
“This is too exaggerated!”
This was Fang Lin Kong's first encounter with a practitioner whose physical abilities were purely extraordinary. The girl’s strength evidently lay entirely within her muscles.
"Exaggeration? What kind of exaggeration is this? Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, anyone can achieve such abilities. It is said that Yuan Qian Kun, the number one in the Demon Realm, can run at four times the speed of sound without using any spells, relying solely on his physical strength."
"Four times the speed of sound! That's incredible—"
"Every cultivator trains their body. Someone like you, with such strong spiritual energy but a body as fragile as glass, is something I've never seen before."
"You’re the one who’s fragile! Don’t think that just because you helped me once, you can challenge my dignity. Put me down!"
Initially shocked by the series of revelations, Fang Lin Kong calculated that one times the speed of sound is about 340 meters per second, so four times would mean running one and a half kilometers in a single second. At that speed, running down the street would create a powerful airflow that could rival any hurricane in nature. Even small cars could be swept into the air by the resulting gusts.
However, the girl’s words pushed Fang Lin Kong to retort.
With one hand gripping Fang Lin Kong's collar while running at full speed, she firmly declared, "No way! I need to chase those two monsters from earlier. There have been more non-humans coming to this city lately, and they are all quite powerful. I'm worried that the upcoming battles will affect ordinary citizens. I have to stop them."
"Hey! If that's the case, you need to put me down even more. Don't expect me to help; my destructive power will only make things worse."
Although Fang Lin Kong was not a particularly heroic young man, he was not overly cold-hearted either. What he said was sincere; if a battle broke out between monsters, he would be utterly helpless. His current attack power relied entirely on a treasure he had obtained by chance, and he could only use it to strike back with a single move. The Liexie Twin Hooks were a divine weapon with immense destructive power; once activated with electricity, all nearby electrical devices would be damaged.
If that treasure suddenly went out of control and rampaged, it could lead to a disaster comparable to an Arab terror attack.
The girl playfully blinked and smiled as she said, "When I say I’m going to stop them, I don’t mean I have to use violence. Communication is also one method. The monster world has its own rules that they cannot violate at will."
At this point, Fang Lin Kong had nothing more to say as he was unceremoniously dragged through most of the city.
"Hey! Why are we heading in the wrong direction for the fight? Oh no, it's another monster... it’s starting again!"
The girl stopped on top of a twenty-eight-story building still under construction and released Fang Lin Kong. This time, he didn’t need to ask; he could see the changes in the distance. Although his stamina couldn’t match hers, it was several times stronger than an average person’s, and his eyesight was much sharper.
In the city center stood a towering skyscraper that seemed to have been bombed. A tremendous roar echoed along with violent tremors. Even though Fang Lin Kong was still several kilometers away, he could faintly hear the sounds of chaos coming from there.
"What’s happening over there?"
Fang Lin Kong observed several black dots swirling in the sky, engaged in a fierce battle. Occasionally, their clashes affected the buildings below, causing significant destruction.
Ganesha, known for his volatile temperament, left to meet with the emissaries of the True Flame Sect to negotiate with the local monster leaders.
Led by Lin Ming-Tang, the local monsters were inclined to submit, but they also had their dignity. Ganesha's abrasive demeanor and condescending tone made it seem as if he was merely offering scraps to dogs during the negotiations, ultimately leading to their collapse. In such circumstances, there was little left to discuss; Ganesha took the initiative to intimidate first, and when someone retaliated, chaos ensued.
The local monsters had the advantage in numbers, but Ganesha's side consisted of individuals with above-average skills. Especially Ganesha himself, who injured Old Huo—one of the most powerful—right at the start of the battle, causing a slight shift in momentum.
In terms of pure demonic power, Ganesha was not particularly strong.
However, combat effectiveness is not solely determined by the amount of demonic energy one possesses; it heavily relies on how that power is utilized. The International Demon Alliance had undergone multiple internal reforms, treating combat training as a crucial initiative promoted among all members. Most members of the International Demon Alliance could easily access various collected secret techniques and even subscribe to a VIP electronic version for paid reading. Additionally, they established magical tutoring classes similar to international universities in over ten countries across five continents to counteract the professional training of Demon Hunting Teams. Each year, they invited some of the most renowned experts ranked within the top hundred of the International Demon Alliance to give special lectures.
As a result, monsters emerging from the International Demon Alliance possessed significantly greater combat strength than ordinary monsters with similar levels of demonic energy. Even when surrounded by four monsters of comparable power levels, Ganesha still held a considerable advantage.
While Lin Ming-Tang commanded the battle and coordinated three monsters attacking Ganesha, he inwardly lamented his situation. He never intended for things to escalate into violence. For monsters living in the city, strength was not as crucial as integrating into human society for a better life. Their combat skills paled in comparison to Ganesha’s, akin to civilians versus soldiers—there was a vast chasm between them.
Most of the True Flame Sect's followers were human and had not practiced for long; the sect itself had only recently emerged. The spiritual energy of these emissaries hovered around average levels—ranging from one to three hundred—making them only second or third-rate monsters. However, their secret technique known as Black Flame was extraordinarily peculiar. A mere touch would ignite continuous burning and absorb an opponent's essence and vitality while directly corroding their demonic energy.
If not for Old Huo's insistence on staying despite his injuries, many weaker monsters would have faltered quickly. Aside from Fang Lin Kong’s previous encounter with a Black Flame curved blade, True Flame Sect possessed countless unique skills; these fifteen emissaries were no less powerful than those from Sdeck.
The sky was filled with various shapes formed by Black Flame colliding with demonic energy from the monsters below, creating an endless display of sound and color.
