Chapter 164 Follow-up
If Su extracts the beads that have exhausted their energy, places them on the Yin veins, and uses a specific blood sacrifice ritual to recharge them so that they can absorb the Yin power again, they can still regain their heyday. of.
However, Suti had no such idea at all.
I saw the seven-meaning magic chapter in his body, and the [Swallowing Evil] entry lit up slightly. The hand that was stroking the Blood-Transforming Yin Knife suddenly felt a strong suction force, and traces of light red Yin Power were absorbed from the knife. In the hands of Suti.
The Blood Transforming Yin Knife felt the extraction, and its whole body trembled slightly, but it had no effect.
If it is a spiritual attack-type Yin force like Hungry Thousand Miles Tu, it can also launch a counterattack against Suti who extracts it. However, its Yin force type requires slashing to activate, and it cannot be used at all if no one is using it. .
Therefore, when faced with the extraction of the Seven Intentions Demonic Seal, it had no power to fight back and was quickly drained.
As the last trace of yin power was taken away, the last bead of the Blood Transforming Yin Knife became dim. Not only that, the remaining yin power on the entire knife was also taken away, as if it had lost all its energy and spirit. It was originally hard. Incomparably, the blade, which was able to withstand the attack of Sutichi Hanba in its form, was covered with rust at an extremely fast speed, and then began to oxidize.
Just a few seconds passed, and the originally slender and graceful sword turned into a piece of broken copper and iron. With a slight squeeze, Su Ti broke into several sections and shattered to the ground.
The material of the knife itself is not enough to last for more than a thousand years. It relies entirely on the strong Yin force. Now that the Yin force has been taken away by Su Ti, the knife will naturally be beaten back to its original shape and completely scrapped. .
But it was not a pity for Suti, because as he absorbed the Yin power of the Blood-Transforming Yin Knife, his progress in the next chapter of the Seven Minds' Demonic Chapter increased again by 5%, reaching the 12% level.
"At this rate, I will still need a lot of demon generals' flesh and blood and evil soldiers before I can complete the second chapter of the Seven Minds Demonic Chapter."
Throwing the broken hilt of the knife in his hand to the ground, Suti held his chin and sat cross-legged in thought.
"Although I killed Fei Luo this time to avenge the disciples of the Southern Saint Sect, this news cannot be spread."
Not only cannot it be spread out, but it must also be concealed so that the South Saint Gate and the Third Category Bureau cannot know about it.
The reason is very simple. The combat power provided by Suti's Seven Minds Demonic Seal after transformation is too powerful and cannot be exposed. If it is exposed, it will be even more unexplainable.
This is completely different from Suti reaching general level strength as a human being.
Suti's previous dragon-elephant vajra state can be explained by his Buddha status, extraordinary talent, and ability to fuse the bloodlines of various demons.
Moreover, after his transformation, he consumes a lot of physical energy. Every time he transforms, he becomes extremely thin. With this side effect, he can only have a general-level combat power of about one minute. Shia can still accept it and regard him as an ancient martial arts warrior. Look at it as a strange person who only meets once in a thousand years.
But the Seven-Mind Demon Chapter has exceeded the limit of Shia's tolerance. With such a powerful power, there will definitely be inquiries, peeping and coveting.
Although the Category III Bureau seemed to Su Ti to be an aboveboard organization that fought bloody battles with monsters in order to maintain world peace, Su Ti knew that human nature could not stand the test, and he would never test human nature.
The powerful Shenwu Sect did not test human nature. After losing the power to ensure its status, it directly chose to destroy Wu.
If the Shenwu Sect had not destroyed Wu at that time, could the current bloodline family maintain such a strong position? He has long been reduced to practicing ancient martial arts for his descendants, and has become a powerful blood-eater.
The same goes for Su Ti. Once his Seven Minds Demonic Seal is exposed, with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to protect his own safety.
Therefore, before Su Ti has enough power, he must keep the secret of the Seven-Mind Chapter secret in his stomach. He must not let anyone know about it, and he must not reveal it in front of others.
After thinking about such a plan, Su Ti closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to practice the Heart Chapter of the Heart Origin Manifestation Chapter.
The Heart Chapter can dispel demonic thoughts and condense true thoughts, and it is also a way to strengthen willpower.
As the master of the mother chapter, Suti's effect in the heart chapter is several times more powerful than that of the child chapter.
Not only can it condense the will more solidly and increase willpower, but it also has the effect of restoring will and replacing sleep.
After practicing hard all night while maintaining the condensed state of his true intention, the next day, his willpower returned to its peak. After being tested by the impact of the demonic body, Suti opened his eyes with his willpower much stronger.
He briefly felt the state of mind at this moment and made a judgment.
"My current level is not far from Resolute III."
After Suti reached Firmness II, he experienced many battles and endured the mental shock training of Qianli Tu. Last night, he also experienced the test of being possessed and becoming sober. In addition, with the practice of the Heart Origin Manifestation Psalm, his willpower increased. Very quickly.
According to his estimation, perhaps after experiencing some hardships, or practicing the Heart Chapter of the Heart Origin Manifestation Psalm for about a year and a half, his willpower will reach a new breakthrough.
"Although I have gone through the training of my heart, I still have dependence and addiction to the demonic body in my mind at this time."
Suti was sensitive and easily noticed the dust in his soul, but this dust could not be wiped away.
However, as the willpower becomes stronger, it will undoubtedly have more resistance. Even if there is a demon in the heart, it can still be suppressed.
After finishing his practice, Suti checked Sophia who was locked up in the secret room. She was still seriously injured and on the verge of death and had not yet woken up.
Suti didn't pay much attention to her, he had something else to do today.
Even though it was a rainy night and in the countryside last night, as he expected, the Category III Bureau would find such large traces of battle today.
And sure enough, after Su Ti had breakfast, he went to train (torture) the hard-nosed disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, briefly handled the sect affairs, gave some guidance on Ye Feng's martial arts, and after teasing Chang Wei a few times, he called It rang.
Zhang Haowu's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Last night, a battle between general-level creatures occurred five kilometers south of Tianbaoshan. The provincial bureau has assigned an investigation mission and sent me to investigate."
"The bureau asked you to come too. I'm already at the scene and I've sent you the location. Come here quickly."
Zhang Haowu's voice was heavy, as if he had a lot to say that was not convenient to say on the phone. Su Ti should have packed up and hurried over.
Zhang Haowu sent the address to Su Ti, and how could Su Ti not know about the place of battle last night? He arrived at the destination in only ten minutes.
At this time, a section of the main road had been blocked. After Suti got off the car at the South Saint Gate, he went straight to the blocked area.
"Stop approaching. The front has been temporarily blocked. If you want to pass, you can go around from the side."
Before Suti could get closer, he was stopped by two members of the special functional department guarding the perimeter.
The two were wearing black and blue uniforms, stab-proof clothing and pistols on their waists.
As an auxiliary department of the third category bureau, the special functional department is responsible for evacuating people, sealing off the scene, and handling demon corpses.
Although they are ordinary people and not of blood, they are people who are very aware of the dangers of monsters. In addition, they need to deal with monsters frequently, and they have more weapons than ordinary police detectives. Facing the other party's obstruction, Suti said nothing and just handed over his ID.
One of them took the certificate, opened it, looked at it, his face changed slightly, and he immediately saluted.
"Sorry, Level 4 Investigator, the scene is in the forest on the left. Do you need me to lead you?"
"No."
Suti took the certificate handed back by the other party and walked inside.
In a scorched mountain forest, with drops of water still hanging on the surrounding trees, some investigators holding various instruments and wearing the standard blue uniforms of the Class III Bureau were working.
From the small number of black stars under the triangular black star on their chests, their rank can be clearly seen.
Those with only one small black star are the lowest seventh-level investigators, whose strength is only at the level of a soldier. Most of these investigators are 'interns' who follow missions to gain experience.
The one with two black stars is a sixth-level investigator with a level-2 soldier strength and certain work experience. He is an old man in the third-category bureau and the largest number of investigators. He is responsible for explaining the use of instruments and traces to these newcomers. experience etc.
Those with three black stars are Level 5 investigators. There are only three of these people. They are all investigators with rich experience. Even if they retire at this level, they can also serve as instructors. They are responsible for coordinating the overall situation and allocating information. Investigation mission.
There is only one person with four black stars, and that is a young man with short hair and thick eyebrows who looks very sunny, but at this time he frowns and seems to be worried.
"Haowu."
Suti walked out of the dense forest wearing ordinary casual clothes.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Haowu's expression softened and he stepped forward to greet him.
As soon as the two approached, Zhang Haowu whispered.
"Something happened, it's a big deal. The fire department received information at six o'clock this morning that a mountain fire was suspected to have broken out in the forest near Tianbaoshan Mountain. When the fire department came over to take a look, they saw traces here. After reporting the reports, our people When I came over to take a look, I discovered that this place was not a wildfire at all, but traces of battles between general-level creatures. The bureau immediately sent people to cordon off the area, and then sent a task to me to investigate first. "
In the third type of bureau, only when a general-level creature appears will investigators of level four or above be dispatched to investigate.
Speaking of this, Zhang Haowu took a deep breath.
"Do you know what I found when I came here to investigate?"
"What did you find?" Su Ti asked knowingly.
"Feiluo's body, and the body of the demon general from the Collectors Association who escaped from me, you, Zero, and the demon-suppressing army."
"What?"
Suti was 'surprised' and then asked.
"Are you sure it's his body?"
Zhang Haowu nodded heavily and waved slightly. A level five investigator immediately led someone over and placed a metal box on the ground.
Two seventh-level investigators opened the box, and what was contained inside was a suit of fiery red scales and snow-white bones with a honeycomb-like surface.
Seeing the shocked look on Su Ti's slightly opened mouth, Zhang Haowu said.
"When I first saw these things, my expression was the same as yours."
"Feiluo has reached the second level of general, and he still has an evil weapon in his hand. He is cunning and sharp. So many of us set up traps but failed to kill him. As a result, he died here, and only one part of his body was left. There are still bones in his skin. His flesh, blood, demon core, and even bone marrow are gone."
"Who did it?"
"I don't know, it's most likely that demons and humans are interfering with each other."
Speaking of this, Su Ti had already expected it.
He did not deal with the traces at the scene because he knew that the case was most likely to be classified as a demon-human gangster.
There are many cases of cannibalism by demons and demon transformers every year, but there are also many cases of demons cannibalizing each other.
Monster cannibals and monsters eat each other, which is like the difference between beasts attacking and beasts hunting beasts. There is an essential difference between the two. One is harmful to humans, and the other is not harmful to humans.
Therefore, many cases of demons fighting each other end up with no end. The third category bureaus generally do not try their best to investigate and pursue the perpetrators of such internal conflicts between demons. At most, they just file the case.
After all, the Category III Bureau is an organization that protects the safety of human life. They are more willing to investigate cases of demon cannibalism than investigating demons.
Zhang Haowu smiled bitterly.
"It can be said that monsters are fighting each other. I have seen some cases of monsters fighting each other and killing each other. Some monsters can eat the same kind with their skin and bones, but I have never seen it. Such a clean case.”
"There aren't even any signs of gnawing on the bones, but the flesh and blood have completely disappeared. And you must know that the heavy rain last night left so many scorch marks on the battle scene with such a heavy rain curtain, and"
Zhang Haowu waved, and a level five investigator came over. He saluted Su Ti and then said.
"After our field investigation, we found that last night's battle was actually a battle between three entities. Two of them, one has been confirmed to be Feiluo, the No. 75 member of the Collectors Association, and the other was detected according to our life energy. The life energy fluctuation detected by the device is a first-level demon general."
Although the Category III Bureau did not develop an instrument to directly detect monsters, it did develop a life energy detection instrument.
This device, which is like a radiation counter, can detect the residual life energy in certain places. As long as the demon shows its demon membrane, some fluctuations of life energy will remain in a certain place. These fluctuations can be detected with instruments. .
"That is to say, in the battle last night, that powerful being fought one against two and won completely. According to our subsequent trace tracking, we have found a second battlefield, and although the first-level demon general was not found on that battlefield "
After the fifth-level investigator finished speaking, Zhang Haowu motioned for him to leave, and then said to Su Ti.
"Now you know the seriousness of this matter, right? That unknown creature, with one against two, killed a second-level demon general and captured a first-level demon general alive. This kind of strength has probably reached the level of a third-level demon general." level of strength.”
