Chapter 37 Artificialization

Fang Nian ignored the man and looked behind him instead.

This man originally had two subordinates with him, and now with the two men escorting the hanged man, there are a total of five people.

All five are two-star demons.

It seems that the two-star demons are the main fighting force of their faction.

I think I heard them mention it before; Wang You is just a three-star demon.

If this Wang family is the same Wang family as Wang You, then there shouldn't be many three-star demons in this force, and three-star demons don't usually take action.

Therefore, the enemy's realm is limited to the range of two-star demons.

Fang Nian scrutinized the group, his hand unconsciously beginning to twirl the knife.

The man on the left looked at the knife twirling in Fang Nian's hand, then turned to the leader: "Brother, his knife is a bit strange."

The leader also looked at the dagger in Fang Nian's hand: "What, a high-grade demonic artifact, a Dao artifact?"

The man on the left whispered, "It's not that the knife itself is strange, but that it exudes an evil aura, and the flow of demonic energy is peculiar."

Nonsense, the skills that Fang Nian can use subconsciously are all things he learned from the Martial Ancestor, things that come naturally to him.

That's why it's used subconsciously because of muscle memory.

However, Fang Nian might not use this tactic if they actually took action.

Because this move might not even be worthy of Fang Nian's voluntary thought to use it.

As the group discussed amongst themselves, Fang Nian also realized that the immediate issue needed to be resolved.

With a flick of his wrist, the knife flew up from the heel of his hand, and Fang Nian caught it, asking, "What's your name?"

The leader clearly hadn't expected Fang Nian to inquire about his name first: "It seems you're unaware of the power of our Wang family."

"Since that's the case, then I'll let you die knowing why."

"The Wang family is one of the three major families in the northern border of Wang City."

"All the secret manuals sold in the nearby Zhushan Tower and the Demon Cultivation Hall are under the control of the Wang family."

"And I am Tang Tiankuo, the captain of the fourth squad of the Wang family patrol team."

After listening for a moment, Fang Nian summarized the situation in her mind and said, "So he's just a nobody."

Tang Tiankuo was stunned for a moment, his face turning ashen: "You're all just a silver tongue, since you..."

Before he could show off, Fang Nian said, "I'll give you one last chance. Heal the person, apologize, and I'll forgive you."

Tang Tiankuo saw that the other party was even more pretentious than him, so he immediately drew his sword.

After thinking for a moment, he stopped. "Aro, let's test the intensity."

One of the men in black who was holding the suspended man dropped the man's hand and stepped forward.

His strength shouldn't be considered very high; as he walked, a demonic star bloomed above his head.

As the two demonic stars lit up, two similar demonic creatures crawled out.

A demonic hound that resembles a wolf but clearly possesses a somewhat憨厚 (honest and simple) nature.

A fox that looks like a dog.

Animal magic?

Fang Nian did not summon Qingqing, but instead looked at the two animals.

These two animals are clearly not very strong; you can tell at a glance that they have very little demonic power.

Fang Nian muttered, "Domesticated?"

Aro's face darkened: "You!"

After saying that, he charged forward and with a wave of his right hand, a knife appeared in his hand.

The demon hound and the fox neither circled nor provided cover for each other.

They charged straight at them.

Fang Nian held the Heart-Slicing Knife in reverse, like a grappling hook, and drew an inverted number 8 in the air.

The demonic energy left a crimson trail in the air.

Fang Nian watched the move take shape: This move should be able to bind him, but she wondered if he would dare to attack. If he did, he would definitely be entangled by the demonic vines.

Behind him, Tang Tiankuo saw the crimson circular trajectory and cried out, "Watch out! Water and Fire Twin Rings!"

After shouting, he frowned: Shouldn't the Water and Fire Double Rings move be one blue and one red? Why is this Water and Fire Double Rings move only red and not blue? He only learned half of it and hasn't mastered it yet?

The Water and Fire Double Rings is a very famous sword technique.

Water and fire work together; flames have a burning effect, and water has a freezing effect.

This move is considered very powerful at the two-star demon stage.

However, if you can see through it, it will be easy to defend against.

Simply cutting the connection point of the ring is enough to sever the water and fire, stopping the circulation.

This move was thus broken.

Upon hearing this, Aro aimed his knife at the center of the loop and slashed down.

Fang Nian frowned when he heard Tang Tiankuo shout: What kind of things have these disciples of the Demonic Sect learned? They are ignorant and incompetent.

This is clearly a demonic vine binding it.

Aro's sword struck the center of the loop, but he clearly sensed something was wrong.

The circulation of demonic energy did not stop. The feeling of his own knife was not like cutting through demonic energy, but rather like cutting into something real.

Looking to the side, I saw a swaying vine beneath the blade.

Vines surged from both ends of the ring, rushing towards him.

Its speed was so great that it was impossible to resist.

Arro realized what was happening and tried to draw his sword and move away, intending to strike from a different angle.

But he felt his knife being clamped. Looking ahead, he saw vines sprouting new shoots wildly from the cut spot. The new shoots quickly grew into bright green vines, then turned dark green and became tough, wrapping around his knife.

It coils around you like a snake, impossible to pull away.

Aro felt a sense of terror and released his grip to retreat.

It's too late now.

The newly sprouted vines have already entangled the knife; how could the vines that were already reaching out slow down?

He glanced to the left and found his left hand was already entangled in vines.

In desperation, Aro tried to reach out with his right hand to pull at the vines on his left, but found that he couldn't budge them with his right hand.

Turning my head, I saw that my right hand was already wrapped around the vines three times.

The vines on his left and right hands kept extending upwards, rapidly wrapping around his body.

In less than a second, Aro was completely entangled.

At this moment, new shoots sprouted from the hilt of the knife, using the knife as a bridge to reach Aro's face, instantly wrapping around Aro's head and face.

Aro's entire body was covered in demonic vines.

The vines tightened, and Aro's bound body was immediately pulled and wrapped tightly together.

When he fell to the ground and lost his five senses, the two demons clearly lost control.

It continued to surge forward simply due to inertia.

Fang Nian kicked the demon dog away, and at the same time hopped to the left on one leg. His foot, which had just landed, tripped the fox.

The two demons fell and lost control.

"His control over demons is far inferior to Qi Fang's..."

Qi Fang was multitasking at the time, launching attacks simultaneously and controlling each one with all his might.

After being controlled, Aro's true form went blind and deaf, clearly losing all five senses.

Is the difference between demons really that great?

All of this happened in just two seconds. Tang Tiankuo's heart skipped a beat when he saw Aro fall to the ground.

I initially thought it was a combination of water and fire rings, but it turned out to be a move called "Entangling Vine of Demons".

But he's also a two-star demon, so how could this move be so powerful?

Tang Tiankuo said in a deep voice, "He used such a powerful move with his bare hands. Can his body withstand releasing such a powerful demonic aura and demonic energy in such a short time? Could it be... that knife is his demonic weapon?"

"That doesn't make sense. There's no demonic aura on this sword."

The key point is that Fang Nian did not summon the Demon Star.

For Tang Tiankuo, the strength of a two-star demon was beyond his imagination.

In his view, ordinary people's bodies are too weak, and the moves they can withstand are relatively weak.

To use powerful techniques, one must use a demonic medium to withstand the overflow of demonic energy and the circulation of demonic power.

Therefore, powerful techniques are engraved on magic objects to make them stronger, and then used to unleash these techniques.

Just as Aro's fox is engraved with allure, and his demon hound with madness.

He hadn't expected Fang Nian to be so powerful.

For a city like Wangcheng with a population of tens of millions, how many people do the major Demon Palaces actually have? It's very difficult to encounter people from the Demon Palaces in Wangcheng.

Therefore, Tang Tiankuo was used to viewing his opponents with the same perspective he had of ordinary people in Wangcheng, and he even thought that Fang Nian's Heart-Slicing Knife was the real demonic weapon.

After Fang Nian subdued A Luo, he probably made an assessment of the enemy's combat strength.

Well, even the lowest-level Demonic Temple has a demonic cultivator with better talent than those in Wangcheng.

Because a large number of Netherworld Illusions need to be produced in Wangcheng, there are many ordinary people here.

In order to give them a strong desire before they die so that they could form a dream, the City of Delusion is a place that creates dreams, so many ordinary mortals still survived.

So, this place is actually a mortal city that has been corrupted by demons.

On the Demon Temple side, those who are able to enter the sect, even those who are used as expendable resources and whose talent is considered average, are all above average when they come here.

Having confirmed this, Fang Nian looked at Tang Tiankuo and the others again: "Now, I'm giving you a second choice. Heal him and compensate me ten times the amount of Mingwang, and I can spare your lives."

"I made seven times the amount of money from this deal, ten times the amount of money, which is seventy times the amount of money. Pay it back and you can leave."

As she spoke, Fang Nian kicked away Aro, who was lying at her feet: "Next time, it won't be this price."

Tang Tiankuo drew his sword, and a demonic star shone above his head. Two humanoid demons stepped out.

One of the demons transformed into a gem and landed on the knife in his hand.

"Arrogant! You really think you can handle us?"

"Even if you win, the Wang family has more than just our team."

Fang Nian had no time to listen to him, but stared intently at the gem that the demon had transformed into.
