Chapter 550: Demonic Nature Out of Control (First Update!)
Qin Mu blinked, quietly retreating two steps. Still, nothing bad happened. He took two more steps back, yet everything remained as usual.
"This jade pendant... it truly is a jade pendant from Carefree Village!"
Fu Riluo stared at the jade pendant, examining it repeatedly, his expression shifting between light and shadow. His three faces spoke in turns, muttering, "No, no, he's deceiving us! How could someone from Carefree Village be half-human, half-demon? He must be lying!"
"This kid is extremely cunning. He looks honest and reliable, but in truth, he's sly and treacherous. His words cannot be trusted!"
"But this is indeed a jade pendant from Carefree Village. If we could actually capture someone from Carefree Village and use them to find the village, then report it to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court would surely reward us greatly. The demon race's place to survive would be secured!"
"The Heavenly Court cannot be trusted! Trust them, and pigs can climb trees!"
...
Qin Mu quietly retreated a few more steps. Fu Riluo's three faces were still conversing among themselves, arguing incessantly. Qin Mu suddenly turned and sprinted away. The next moment, he saw Fu Riluo right in front of him.
Fu Riluo still stood in the same spot without moving, his three faces still bickering. Qin Mu felt despair.
Fu Riluo was too strong, strong enough to warp the space around him, making it impossible for Qin Mu to escape, or even to get farther away from the jade pendant!
"Carefree Village is very mysterious. They once built a great civilization and established a massive Heavenly Court! But how could there be demon descendants in Carefree Village? Very suspicious!"
"Yes, very suspicious. I think we should kill this kid! Kill him now!"
"Wait, this jade pendant is strange. I've discovered a seal hidden inside. What kind of seal is this? Could it hold the secrets of Carefree Village?"
Qin Mu stared wide-eyed at Fu Riluo's three faces. It seemed as if three different consciousnesses were hiding inside Fu Riluo's body, like different souls. Now these three faces were eagerly studying his jade pendant, trying to probe the secrets of the seal.
Qin Mu stood there obediently, not moving. Now he couldn't leave, so he could only try to be as well-behaved and honest as possible.
Just then, he heard a noisy sound coming, a familiar whispering. This sound was not unfamiliar—when the King of Hell had toyed with the jade pendant in Fengdu, he had also heard this sound.
The sound was very loud, as if countless vengeful spirits were hiding in the shadows, in places unseen, using twisted, eerie expressions to speak seductive words that tempted people to fall, to sink.
Qin Mu shook his head. The whispering grew closer and closer, as if it were crouching by his ear, pouring sounds into his brain.
He waved his hand by his ear, trying to fan it away, but he couldn't dispel that strange sound.
The next moment, he felt as if these chaotic sounds had burrowed into his head. The noise was so loud it felt like his head was about to explode.
Qin Mu tilted his head, patting his ear, as if trying to slap the sounds out of his mind. But the sound only grew louder, and all the voices suddenly overlapped.
Suddenly, Qin Mu's head drooped with a *pa* sound, and he stood frozen there, his body swaying back and forth, his hands hanging limply at his sides.
"Hehe, the seal is almost suppressed by us!"
"There must be some secret here!"
"Perhaps it can let us see the mysteries of Carefree Village!"
Fu Riluo's three faces were still chattering away when suddenly a voice came from the side: "Smash it."
Fu Riluo turned his head toward the source of the voice and saw Qin Mu standing there with his head bowed, his body swaying back and forth. Fu Riluo was surprised and smiled slightly. "What did you say?"
Qin Mu kept his head down, and an extremely evil voice came from his mouth, chuckling darkly. "I mean, if you smash it, something very fun will happen. Hurry up, smash it."
Fu Riluo's three faces all frowned. The evilness of this voice sent a chill down even his spine. He was, after all, an extremely evil honored king. For him to feel evil, to feel a chill, was almost impossible.
"Why haven't you acted yet?"
Behind Qin Mu, the space suddenly cracked with a *crackling* sound, splitting open into a huge gap. With a *hum*, a giant evil eye slowly opened, and butterfly-wing-like demonic light burst forth from the eye.
When this evil demonic eye opened, the surrounding space was shaken, covered in cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment. Demonic light filled the gaps in the space, appearing extremely eerie and sinister.
"Poor little thing, low and inferior bloodline..."
Qin Mu's voice grew even more evil, drifting and shifting. He was clearly standing there with his head down, yet he gave Fu Riluo the feeling of being everywhere at once.
Fu Riluo frowned deeply. In Qin Mu's mouth, he had become a poor little thing, and a low and inferior race at that—something he simply couldn't tolerate!
But he also felt a hint of palpitation, a hint of danger, yet more excitement in his heart: "Is this the secret hidden in the jade pendant? The secret of Carefree Village?"
Behind Qin Mu, a second space crack appeared, and another eerie demonic eye slowly opened. There were more cracks in the surrounding space, and more demonic light surged out.
"Extremely insignificant tiny existence, lowly wretch, daring to disobey my command."
Qin Mu lowered his head and laughed. "Hehehe, you're asking to die. How should I kill you to make it interesting..."
Fu Riluo's expression froze. He saw a third eye. This eye was located above and between the two evil demonic eyes.
This eye seemed to contain endless demonic fire, wanting to open but unable to, only revealing a slit. The demonic fire hidden within was so intense and powerful that it sent chills down one's spine.
Fu Riluo slowly raised his head, staring blankly at these three rising evil demonic eyes. As the demonic eyes rose, a towering demon god emerged, its body burning with the demonic fire of the Netherworld, looking down from on high at Fu Riluo.
Fu Riluo struggled to lower his head and look at Qin Mu. His other two faces were desperately rolling their eyes, trying to see what was happening.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Fu Riluo's throat went dry, his voice hoarse. "There's no way such a powerful primordial demon soul could be inside your body! It doesn't make sense..."
"Destroy the jade pendant for me!"
Qin Mu suddenly raised his head, his eyes now completely dark. Dark demonic fire spread from his pupils like butterfly wings, and his terrifying voice turned into a dreadful demonic sound wave that surged forward!
Fu Riluo felt a fierce wind hit his face, his clothes fluttering backward, and his face was wrinkled by the demonic sound wave, wrinkles piling up.
Around him, sand and stones flew, and the violent demonic sound wave formed a black storm, blowing backward!
He squinted and saw clearly that there was also a vertical eye on Qin Mu's forehead. At this moment, that vertical eye was also not open, only revealing a slit.
"This is... you were born in the Netherworld!"
Fu Riluo suddenly realized, shrieking, "You..."
*Boom!*
A giant fist slammed heavily into his body. Fu Riluo spat blood from his mouth, and the surrounding space exploded with a *crackling* sound. The towering mountains flashed by in an instant. The next moment, his body crashed into a chasm abyss, smashing a huge altar that was under construction.
The altar collapsed and shattered on the spot, rocks flying everywhere. Fu Riluo erupted in rage, roaring three times. His body swelled, no longer restraining his physical form. His muscles bulged outward with *bang bang bang* sounds. He reached out, grabbed his demon spear, and was about to leap into the air when suddenly the sky darkened.
Without thinking, Fu Riluo thrust his demon spear upward. He was a true demon of the demon race, a being revered as an honored king by other demon gods. While his demonic skills might not be unmatched in the world, he was still a top-tier powerhouse of the Supreme Heavenly Realm. Only the axe of the Woodcutter Saint could block his demon spear.
But the next moment, the demon spear collided with the incoming giant fist. The spear was enormous, yet it was crushed and bent!
Fu Riluo let out a muffled groan. The spear shaft slid backward through his palm, cutting his hands, leaving them bloody.
Finally, he could hold on no longer. The demon spear flew out of his hands.
"Destroy the jade pendant!"
Amid the roar, another giant fist slammed heavily into Fu Riluo. All the bones in Fu Riluo's body rattled and trembled, becoming brittle. Demon blood sprayed from his eyes, ears, nose, and tongue into the air as he flew backward.
*Thump, thump, thump.* A series of dull explosions rang out as his massive body smashed through one altar after another, still unable to stop his momentum.
Just then, he saw light—the light from Qin Mu's eyes, two beams of demonic light.
*Hum!*
Two pillars of light, like swirling demonic flames, shot forward and struck his chest. Fu Riluo's chest exploded, pierced through front and back.
He was, after all, a true demon, with immense cultivation and astonishing vitality. He immediately sealed his wounds, but he still smashed through countless altars.
Amid the flying rocks, he saw Qin Mu leaping in a bizarre posture, weaving through the debris, rapidly approaching.
*Boom!*
Fu Riluo's backward momentum weakened slightly. Finally, he came to a stop when he hit the last altar, his butt embedded in it.
He struggled to lift his head and then saw Qin Mu appear before him, his face showing an excited, evil expression, studying him with great interest.
Fu Riluo forced a faint smile and said hoarsely, "Let me tell you a little secret..."
"What secret?"
Qin Mu tilted his head to listen. "I love hearing little secrets from people before they die! Tell me quickly!"
"I put..."
Fu Riluo flipped his palm and pressed it against Qin Mu's forehead. "The jade pendant back to you!"
Qin Mu's face changed drastically. "Ambushing me? I'll kill you, you little bas—"
Suddenly, the violent aura inside him rapidly faded. His eyes gradually cleared, and the vertical eye on his forehead closed reluctantly. The towering primordial demon soul behind him twisted its face, spun, and disappeared rapidly.
Fu Riluo breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, the jade pendant stuck to Qin Mu's forehead fell off, hitting the ground with a *pa* sound.
Fu Riluo's hair stood on end. He strained to look down and only relaxed when he saw it. "Thank goodness it didn't break..."
He smiled faintly and passed out.
After a moment, Qin Mu got up, groggily opening his eyes to look around. When he saw Fu Riluo embedded in the altar, he was startled.
Seeing the chasm abyss destroyed beyond recognition, Qin Mu also felt a lingering fear.
"The Woodcutter Saint Teacher was right. The jade pendant carries a great curse when it leaves me. Fu Riluo, this true demon honored king, was beaten like this just by holding my jade pendant. It seems this curse is no simple matter of heavenly thunder or heavenly fire!"
The young man's eyes flickered, and he immediately turned to leave. "Taking advantage of him being unconscious and the chaos all around, I'd better slip away quickly."
He took two steps, then turned back. He searched around, found his jade pendant, and put it back around his neck before leaving.
"Good thing I didn't lose it! The curse in this jade pendant is very useful. It would be a shame to lose it!"
