Yang Xiaoyou casually held a large head and another smaller one in his hand, resembling a figure that had begun to stride forward, yet he seemed transformed into a hellish demon.
In an instant, countless strands of black death energy swirled around him, and behind him appeared a totem of the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe.
"It’s impossible! Old Five and Old Seven, although their self-control is lacking, their close combat abilities are unmatched even by me! How could this happen?" The only figure resembling a human, with a delicate appearance, let out a sharp shriek.
Seemingly unable to withstand the pressure, she began to change. Her tiger-like fangs elongated, and her beautiful face was marked with wild stripes. Three fluffy white fox tails sprouted from behind her, and her ears rapidly transformed.
She looked like a frenzied player, her clothing tightening around her increasingly voluptuous figure, exuding an eerie allure that ignited desire at first glance.
"Interesting. It's rare to see someone with some mental aspects enhanced," Yang Xiaoyou remarked with apparent interest as he glanced at her. However, his usual indifference towards these aspects was replaced by a sense of calmness or perhaps coldness in his eyes.
He tossed the heads aside and flicked his fingers, causing a jade coin to appear at his fingertips. With a quick motion of his thumb and index finger, the coin spun into the air.
An ordinary jade pendant suddenly captivated everyone's attention, drawing their gazes uncontrollably upward.
In that moment, it felt as if time had slowed down around the jade pendant!
Yet at that instant, the alluring figure resembling a Fox Demon experienced an overwhelming sense of crisis—a feeling she had never encountered since becoming what she was!
"Heart!"
"Heart!"
The voices of the Fox Demon and the metallic tone rang out almost simultaneously, shattering the jade pendant into powder!
The drifting particles seemed to reassemble into a thin blade filled with dreamlike colors!
Then, in an instant, this jade powder blade shot forth like lightning, erasing all spatial distance in its path! It pierced through the head of the enchanting Fox Demon!
No time to react! No way to block!
A visible ripple spread outwards with a faint 'pop,' as if something had shattered!
As she uttered those two words, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed. A trace of blood seeped from her brow as she collapsed heavily to the ground, the dirt staining her beautiful form.
In just a few breaths, three companions lost their lives! The shock of this event left everyone present with expressions of horror.
Even Yang Kai and Qin Meng, who were engaged in battle with the other two, lost their will to fight. After a brief clash, they both retreated.
Sang Ben Ba was thrown away!
In just a few breaths, the numbers shifted to five against four!
Although they still had a slight numerical advantage, witnessing the figure that effortlessly killed three companions with ease made the remaining five feel anything but secure in their advantage.
The only thing keeping them from fleeing immediately was the terrifying presence of the Metal Boss, which prevented them from turning tail.
"Afraid? Crawlers are ultimately just Crawlers, a failed product of evolutionary aberrations." Yang Xiaoyou casually brushed off some powder left by his jade pendant, his nonchalant expression sending chills down everyone's spine.
His words cut like knives, scraping against the facade of strength that masked the inner turmoil of the **. Each word trampled on their hearts, and combined with his condescending gaze, it left them feeling both furious and powerless to retaliate.
Since becoming **, they had never encountered such a humiliating situation. If it were anyone else, the emptiness and brutality within would have driven them to madness. Yet facing this individual, they couldn't understand why they felt such an inexplicable shiver.
Ultimately, their thoughts returned to the three companions who had been killed in an instant.
Meanwhile, Yang Kai and Qin Meng stared at Yang Xiaoyou, momentarily dumbfounded. "Is that creature that looks like our son really Xiao You?"
"It should be... I guess? Otherwise, why would he come to save us? Didn't we tell him our location last time? It's impressive that he actually found us," Yang Kai replied, feeling somewhat strange about what kind of being he had brought into existence.
Initially, they could barely comprehend the situation; although the display of power was far beyond their expectations, they couldn't grasp how the Fox Demon had been annihilated so completely. Was it magic?
Yet having reached this level of understanding, they knew that there could be no supernatural beings in this world—everything was merely a construct of the mind!
"Hmph! You are indeed stronger than expected! I never thought someone like you would exist in this world! While ordinary humans are weak, those at the peak can always surprise you. But if you think you've got me figured out now, you're gravely mistaken! Let me show you why none of my brothers could ever shake my position!" Although it wanted to suggest that both sides call it quits, the metal creature looked at the expressionless yet seemingly indifferent young man and realized that he showed no signs of compromise whatsoever.
The atmosphere thickened with an overwhelming sense of murderous intent that made it hard to breathe!
As soon as its words fell, its form began to twist continuously. Unlike other ** who would expand during battle, it was slowly compressing itself!
From a height of two or three meters, it had transformed into a figure of one meter seventy-eight. The skin, which had once exuded a metallic quality that suggested strength and durability, seemed to gradually soften, becoming indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
By expending some energy and stored power, it could mostly revert to its former appearance. However, there was no doubt that in this state, its combat effectiveness would be reduced by more than half; the person before him could not be so reckless.
The only explanation was that this form was its true combat state!
As its body shrank further, a heavy presence, as immovable as a mountain, began to slowly expand outward from its core.
Although slow, it persistently pressed down on Yang Xiaoyou with an overwhelming force.
"Indeed, the mutation characteristics of the virus are too random. I have no recollection of this level of transformation," Yang Xiaoyou remarked. Although the opponent's aura intensified with each passing second, he furrowed his brow and did not immediately take action to suppress it.
His instincts warned him that if he acted destructively now, something very dangerous might occur.
As the metallic form gradually became 'ordinary,' once fully stabilized and seeing that Yang Xiaoyou did not attack, a hint of disappointment flashed in its eyes. "As expected, being able to instantly kill Sister Four shows your perception ability is terrifyingly strong. But even so, it won't change the outcome! You all focus on the others; I'll deal with him."
After cracking his knuckles with a series of sharp sounds, just as the man finished speaking, there was a sudden whoosh as he left behind only an afterimage!
In the next moment, he appeared directly beside Yang Xiaoyou! The speed was simply unfathomable!
With a swift motion of his hand, he generated a terrifying air pressure that created an umbrella-shaped mist in the air!
The high-frequency vibrations caused the air within several meters nearby to distort! Weeds were pushed downwards in an arc, the force strong enough to rival its speed!
Possessing both such power and speed, it was no wonder he was filled with confidence!
With just one punch, it seemed to suck all the air from around him without any obstruction and directly smashed into Yang Xiaoyou.
It shattered him like glass.
Yet at that moment, the metallic figure displayed an expression of shock. From the fragments of the illusion that had just been shattered, several jade pieces began to emerge, resembling the jade pendant from earlier!
Moreover, it felt no sensation of hitting a solid target! This seemingly guaranteed strike had been completely evaded! Its locked-on force had gone unnoticed! This was a complete crushing defeat in perception and realm!
Recalling Sister Four's earlier encounter, the metal twisted with overwhelming force, contracting fiercely as its arms and legs shrank to protect its vital points, bracing itself for the impending fierce attack.
"Ah, actually, I can't control that many attacks at once yet. I didn't expect you to be so accommodating." However, the voice that followed made it feel as if it were about to spit blood.
"But I also don't have the bad habit of throwing away trash."
Accompanied by this lighthearted voice, the jade pendants shattered one after another!
With the jade pendants as the core, a ripple quickly spread outward, as if reaching the ends of the world. The space swept by this ripple underwent a complete transformation!
When everyone finally reacted, they found themselves in a desert littered with various broken weapons!
This sudden change left those present, who had already experienced quite a bit of stimulation, feeling as if their worldview had been refreshed once again!
"Thank you for giving me time to prepare. Also, welcome to my world. Fear is not something only humans possess," Yang Xiaoyou gradually reappeared beside Yang Kai and Qin Meng, speaking with a tone that was warm yet laced with chilling malice.
All threats to those closest to them would be eradicated!
The entire space seemed to turn blood-red along with this murderous intent!
