Chapter Three: The Demon Li Bing

Because the enemy that will appear soon can fly. Kazama is not a match for that person at all, and we cannot intervene in their pursuit of you. You must run to the airport; on the flight that is scheduled to land at 6:30, there will be a savior to help you regain your life

Flames swirled around like a fiery vortex, instantly reducing the nearby monsters to ashes. Grabbing the dazed Fang Linkong, he fled at full speed.

When Fang Lin Kong was being pulled by someone, it took him a while to come to his senses. Turning his head, he saw Huo Qi pulling him as they ran quickly, while about seventy or eighty meters away, the Electric Ghost was engaged in battle with an enormous monster. Clearly, it was too preoccupied to pay attention to them.

In contrast to the indifferent expression of the middle-aged man, Huo Qi's demeanor was extremely tense. Facing the inexplicable enemy, he was in a state of high alert, ready to spring into action. From Huo Qi's stance, Fang Lin recalled Master Huang Feihong, indicating that Huo Qi's mastery of Chinese martial arts was undoubtedly "extraordinary, like a celestial being's fart."

After breaking free from one layer of encirclement, Fang Linkong seized the opportunity to ask another question

Fang Lin Kong believes that he has completely lost his mind, or perhaps he has watched too many American blockbusters, and is now experiencing a very peculiar nightmare

One can use one's own name as the banner of an organization. The Chifeng King is undoubtedly the leader in the Northeast region. The higher the level of a monster's life, the easier it is to cultivate, and the speed of power enhancement is also rapid. The Chifeng King, with the lowest status as an insect, is able to lead the monster forces in the Northeast region, which is truly impressive in terms of innate talent and ability

As Ding Chifeng's left palm made contact with Fang Linkong's back, he immediately felt a tremendous force surging towards him. He forcibly increased his power until the demonic energy reached sixty percent, barely managing to withstand the energy within Fang Linkong's body. Noticing this, Ding Chifeng couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.

Huo Qi let out a cold snort, and his originally calm expression became subdued. The Bear King did not recognize him, but he was aware of the Bear King's level of power. He estimated that he had at most a 70% chance of winning. This was under the assumption that the hidden Chi Feng Wang would not intervene.

Oh! Do you want to know why we came to save you

Well! Although it deviates from the facts, at your current level, this is already the limit of your understanding ability

The style of action that never leaves any survivors made Huoqi fundamentally disbelieve that handing over what the other party demanded would lead to a different outcome

Huo Qi understood that the Bear King intended to resolve the battle in a short time. Although he believed his skills were slightly superior to his opponent's, he knew that a direct confrontation would not be wise, and he dared not continue the struggle. When the Bear King's bear-like divine energy repelled his flames once more, Huo Qi took advantage of this force to turn and retreat. He shouted loudly, "Kid, you should hurry and run; I can no longer protect you. Remember, if you reach the airport, you will be safe." At this moment, Fang Lin Kong did not dare to delay, knowing he could not assist Huo Qi. He quickly turned and fled, taking a few leaps before disappearing into the distant bridge road.

Huo Qi was pulling Fang Lin Kong as they sprinted forward. ... Fang Lin Kong, now fully awake, realized that his speed was actually ... faster than those men in black who had been chasing the cars earlier. They were running on a highway, with cars being overtaken one after another. It was only then that Fang Lin Kong felt the astonishing frequency of movement in his legs.

The enigmatic middle-aged man coldly stated: "I do not recognize who you are! However, you would do well to hand over that item immediately. Otherwise, you will not be able to escape this calamity today. Even if someone is backing you, they would absolutely not dare to offend the International Demon Alliance"

"Currently, mhetushu.com is not being pursued by anyone, so why do we still need to run?"

Huo Qi leaped with great effort and casually said: "Only when we send out the signal will the other side know that 'Gou Li' is in your hands. The pursuit will then begin. So wasting a bit at the start is inconsequential"

Moreover, even a novice like Fang Lin Kong could sense that there seemed to be a strange force radiating around the middle-aged man. The vehicles, already in chaos due to the frequent appearance of monsters, were all repelled when they came within approximately 10 meters of him, with not a single car able to approach his side. The situation was exceedingly bizarre. It was evident that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was not an ordinary person.

If the Electric Ghost were by Fang Linkong's side now, he would undoubtedly knock this kid out with a single strike before discussing anything else. At this moment, however, it is precisely the most agreeable Huo Qi who is beside Fang Linkong. After pondering for a long time, Huo Qi finally grinned and said: "If we hadn't come, you would temporarily be free from these crises. However, a certain very arrogant person believes that if you do not go through these experiences, your future growth will be significantly diminished. Therefore, he asked us to protect you while sending another group of people to hunt you down."

Mocked in such a manner by Huoqi, King Xiong was instantly filled with uncontrollable rage, and his imposing demeanor plummeted dramatically.

Above the head! It is above the head. Just as the thought of the enemy's location flashed through his mind, Fang Linkong had already suffered multiple heavy blows. Ding Chifeng's six paths of scorching heat energy had struck his limbs, back, and dantian. Suddenly restrained, Fang Linkong, who was running wildly, stumbled and rolled off to the side of the road

Li Bing murmured softly to himself. Although he had memories of this era in his mind, they were not experiences he had lived through. Instead, like this identity, they were plundered from a human being named "Li Bing".

Li Bing! The most powerful monster in this city? Dark forces? Fang Lin's mind was filled with all this chaotic information, feeling that it was simply more unbelievable than a fully nude Britney Spears concert.

Rest assured, you have the means to break free, and your potential is gradually being developed. This is precisely the outcome that person desires

Even so, Fang Linkong inexplicably felt a sense of danger lingering above him. This made the chill behind him grow increasingly intense. However, no matter how he turned around or looked around, he could see no trace of any enemies.

Hook off

Just as Fang Lin was feeling anxious and uneasy, a gentle yet sharp voice came from not far away. It said: "Little brother, your ability to escape is indeed remarkable, but you will not be able to escape from my hands, Ding Chifeng. Just stay with me!"

In this encounter, although a slight advantage was gained, the opponent showed no signs of injury and even their outer clothing had only a few additional cuts. The shock in Huoqi's heart was beyond what words could describe

Such a powerful sting makes it easy to understand why Ding Chifeng was moved

The human visual nerve requires an object to remain on the retina for 0.3 seconds before it will respond. Once the speed of an object exceeds this limit, humans will be unable to perceive the things passing before their eyes. As Fang Linkong runs at high speed, pedestrians on the road will only perceive a blur before them, completely unable to capture his figure

What on earth are these! Why am I experiencing this? This must be a dream, it has to be a dream! I actually managed to break through a fifty-centimeter wall, and I am still alive... Constantly murmuring to himself, Fang Lin Kong felt that he had not yet reached a mental breakdown, which is truly a miracle

Huo Qi answered very simply: "Unfortunately, I only know that the other person's name is Li Bing, who is the most powerful monster in this city. I am unaware of any other questions."

Once one has cultivated to a certain level, an energy field will form outside the body, shielding against external detection. Generally speaking, the deeper the cultivation, the better the shielding effect. In the eyes of ordinary humans, this ability is known as the art of invisibility

At this moment, Fang Lin Kong did not dare to interject a single word; in a duel of experts, every detail matters. If, due to his own foolishness, he were to allow Huo Qi to be eliminated by the enemy, it would be a grave injustice, akin to being wronged in the underworld.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and there were not many people moving about outside the airport. Li Bing did not wish to immediately take a taxi back to the city. He cast a bit of magic on his umbrella, allowing it to float above him and shield him from the rain. With both hands free to carry a large pile of items, he strolled along the streets in the rain

The cultivation of monsters is not an easy task, and the enhancement of their combat power is actually very slow, often taking hundreds of years. Therefore, it has become common internationally to inject the genes of powerful monsters or otherworldly spirits into weaker monsters. Through genetic modulation, their abilities can be rapidly enhanced. The subordinates dispatched by Ding Chifeng just now were a dozen such modified monsters. Currently, only the International Monster Alliance possesses this technology for monster modification. Other organizations can only send their members to the research institutes within the International Monster Alliance to undergo genetic modulation. The recent bounty from the International Monster Alliance includes six hundred doses of potent gene serum, which effectively adds hundreds of capable individuals to the monster forces that acquire it, significantly enhancing the strength of the organization.

However, at the moment of crisis, he still knew that hiding behind the fire ridge was a more effective way to survive than presenting himself as a hero

The monster's half body remained underground, while the part that broke through the surface was already three stories high, resembling a giant earthworm, its flesh rolling and covered in bristles.

This spell not only can evade the six senses of humans, but also can bypass electronic instruments. Whether it is humans, monsters, or deities, the art of invisibility is one of their everyday means to avoid detection by ordinary humans

Huo Qi smiled faintly and said, "During the last international demon association IQ test, you only scored eighty-five, right? That's still below the passing line! What qualifications do you have to discuss matters of wisdom?"

After such a delay, Ding Chifeng's subordinates had already come looking for him. Under Ding Chifeng's command, Fang Linkong was loaded into a car and quickly drove away.

After a series of dense explosive sounds, the middle-aged man was caught off guard and took the first hit. Following a brief intense battle, the two once again separated, neither daring to approach the other, quickly retreating to create distance.

Before Fang Lin could think of anything else, the scorching finger technique of Liu Dao had already pursued him from a distance.

Originally relaxed, Li Bing's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp. After contemplating for a quarter of a second, Li Bing decisively used the transportation technique to send away the burden in his hands, discarding the umbrella.

He was instantly astonished, unable to close his mouth, and murmured to himself: "Gou Li, it is actually the Gou Li Heavenly Book that has appeared! Shouldn't Gou Li have fallen into the hands of Yuan Qian Kun? Who could have stolen it from that old monkey's possession?"

Explosion

The rain continued to pour heavier, yet under the enveloping aura of Li Bing's profound true energy, not a single drop could touch him. As the demon youth took a bold step forward, a figure instantly vanished into the air

Stepping into the void—this discovery instantly diminished Fang Linkong's momentum by two points. The original plan to assist Huo Qi was also abandoned out of fear.

Ding Chifeng paused for a moment, abandoning his plan to invigorate and seal Fang Linkong's meridians. With a swift motion, he thrust a Chifeng needle into Fang Linkong's shoulder. The needle, infused with a potent anesthetic, immediately plunged Fang Linkong into a deep coma

The book is exactly the one in your hands!

The item in your possession is the number one treasure in the dark realm of the world, framed and stolen from you. These individuals are merely bounty hunters, with whom communication is impossible

The Bear King intended to establish his authority, pushing the Bear Spirit's energy to its limits. The dark energy rapidly coiled around him. With the explosive force of the wild energy, the surrounding dust was blown away from a distance of twenty meters by the overwhelming true energy

I want!

Every word from Huo Qi made Fang Lin's heart skip a beat. By the end, Fang Lin felt as if his heart had shattered into pieces. He no longer had the time to continue asking questions.

The International Demon Association issued a wanted notice to the entire world, and Ding Chifeng did not expect this matter to arise in the city where he resided. Therefore, from the moment he received the news to the arrangement of personnel, he was a step behind. However, now that they have finally apprehended Fang Linkong, Ding Chifeng felt a sense of relief. The generous bounty attached to the wanted notice by the International Demon Association was enough to make any demon organization excited.

What?

As the bear spirit's divine power surged, the true form of the middle-aged man naturally emerged. He was originally a thousand-year-old bear that roamed the Northeast, and after achieving mastery in his cultivation, he proclaimed himself the Bear King. He is one of the six prominent leaders of the Northeast Chifeng Army, one of the most renowned local powers in China. This time, the Chifeng Army received a request from an international monster organization to seize an important item from these nameless minions.

As the air gently rippled, a phantom figure gradually became tangible in mid-air, about ten meters above the ground. The figure, the King of Chifeng, restrained Fang Linkong with a swift motion; he was tall and handsome. Dressed in a well-fitted suit, he appeared no different from an urban white-collar worker. After deactivating his invisibility, Ding Chifeng smiled slightly and descended to the ground. He reached out to grab Fang Linkong, preparing to search him.

Indeed, it is not to say that one should not experience the nuances of life; how then does it become lewd? The reasoning behind these two matters is the same

King Xiong knew that the hidden King Chifeng would not allow Fang Linkong to escape, so he did not pursue him. Instead, he smiled darkly and leisurely strolled behind. The momentum of the Bear's Divine Power gradually eased. He was preparing to confront Huo Qi in a direct duel

What an absurd situation! To facilitate my growth, they send someone to hunt me down

The changes occurring in Fang Linkong were indeed beyond his expectations. Furrowing his brow slightly, King Chifeng slowly channeled his energy with his left hand, pressing it against Fang Linkong's back. He intended to first investigate what peculiarities lay within Fang Linkong's body.

I have slept for thousands of years, and it seems I have become outdated

Do not ask anymore, we must hurry on our way. If we slow down even a little, it will not only be you who suffers; we will also be thrown into despair.

Fang Lin Kongzheng was making his final effort, but a single sentence from Huoqi shattered his dreams

Feeling the ancient scroll of the Void within, a torrent of heat surged continuously, filling every limb and bone with immense power. Fang Linkong leaped swiftly in a graceful manner, pushing himself to accelerate, hoping to shake off this tail. He wouldn't even dare to think about turning back to fight. The Bear King was already formidable. Judging by the attitude of the Electric Ghosts, it was evident that the strength of the Chifeng King surpassed that of the Bear King.

A cry burst forth, shouting: "The bear and the tiger roam freely, a hundred times tempered!"

Fang Lin Kong still cannot comprehend the difference in between. However, Huo Qi is aware of the distinction in strength based on whether one is standing on the ground. This indicates that the middle-aged man's cultivation has already reached the realm of soaring through the void.

Fang Linkong completely lost control. Faced with a giant wasp that descended from the sky, he threw a punch without a second thought

The middle-aged man was initially unnoticed by Fang Linkong when he was still. It was only after he took this step that Fang Linkong was horrified to realize that the middle-aged man was not in contact with the surface of the highway at all. Instead, he was hovering just a fraction above it.

These monsters are merely transformed by spells or have ordinary beings enlarged; they possess no real power and are merely a nuisance. The pursuers may not have received accurate information until just now. They should be rushing here now. Do not waste time with these creatures.

Ah! Strange

Isn't it that person who is seeking to have someone killed? You all should discuss this; if it can lead to them stopping, wouldn't that be a happy outcome for everyone

The middle-aged man finally revealed a hint of satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "I suppose you have some insight. I have been in seclusion for six months to perfect the Bear and Tiger Dominance Technique. Today is just right to test my skills on you. Let’s see what mysteries your flames truly hold"

What on earth is this! Why was it mailed to me? And how did the three of you end up inside the book?

The fire spirit, leaping into the air first, hurriedly followed and dove into the hole, grabbing the still-dizzy Fang Linkong and shouting loudly: "Hurry up, why are you still dazed!"

As Ding Chifeng's fingers barely touched Fang Linkong's body, he felt as if he had come into contact with a red-hot iron. He quickly withdrew his hand.

How can this be? Is there no sense of justice left?

With a loud crash, Fang Linkong was forcefully embedded into a wall. The reinforced concrete wall, perhaps originally a shoddy construction, was unexpectedly shattered by Fang Linkong's flesh and blood, creating a massive human-shaped hole.

King Xiong was quite puzzled; these nameless soldiers not only possessed considerable strength but also seemed to know every move of their comrades. As soon as they received the information, the Chifeng Legion mobilized, yet they only managed to intercept the enemy after pursuing them for some time.

At this moment, Fang Linkong finally felt a warm sensation in his arms. Moreover, the ancient book in his hands was transmitting waves of heat into his body, bestowing upon him boundless strength. If it were not for being dragged along by Huo Qi in a frantic run, consuming a tremendous amount of physical energy, this power would have already filled his body to the brim. Even in this desperate sprint, Fang Linkong still sensed that the replenishment of heat was faster than the depletion.

Having finished speaking, the middle-aged man took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and the fire pit, and threw a punch.

As she was enjoying a calm and relaxed feeling, she opened her palms, transforming the raindrops that fell onto her hands into a faint white mist. Suddenly, Li Bing felt a trace of an unexpected presence.

It is not good, the Chifeng King has already discovered us. How unfortunate! I will definitely be eliminated. Even the Bear King has come.

Is this it? Hmm...

Huo Qi did not dare to directly take the seemingly casual punch from his opponent. He swiftly retreated, his body moving with agility, gritting his teeth as dozens of fireballs soared into the air, intending to use his retreat to dissipate the force. In an instant, he transformed from defense to offense.

"When did I become so formidable?" With a single punch, Fang Linkong was instead left in a daze

Having just arrived in this city from her "home," Li Bing was certainly not here merely for the purpose of studying. As she stepped into the human city for the first time, Li Bing felt a deep sense of emotion. The modernization of the city and the rapid advancements in technology all indicated that—

Without even glancing at the direction in which Fang Lin fled, the Bear King displayed a confident expression and muttered to himself: "If you believe that your companions can escape, while the Chifeng Legion has only me present, isn't that underestimating everyone's intelligence?"

Speaking of this issue, even the seemingly good-tempered Huoqi is filled with resentment. He has a fierce and menacing expression, as if ready to devour anyone. "Damn it! If we could resist, we would have done so long ago, and we wouldn't be stuck with this miserable task. You can go ask that idiot yourself why he stuffed us into that broken book."

If someone searches for Li Bing's identity in the *Picture* book, they will only arrive at the following conclusion

Hearing the sound echoing from behind, it was impossible to discern the direction of the speaker. Fang Lin felt a chill run down his spine; the words of King Chifeng came through, calm and peaceful as if whispered in his ear. Where on earth was this guy hiding!

The middle-aged man, not receiving a response from the two, grew impatient. He said: "Alright! I was initially willing to give you a way out for the sake of our shared kind. Now, you have no one to blame but yourselves. Pay the price you must pay."

The airport is located on the outskirts of the city, and walking back to the city center is clearly an unwise decision. However, Li Bing does not care, as he rides calmly among the various modes of transportation rushing past, receiving astonished glances from the people inside.

A surge of heat rose from his dantian, triggering countless streams of warmth throughout his body, which instantly converged together, unleashing an astonishing destructive force. Before the wasp could approach, Fang Linkong's punch sent forth a powerful wind, resulting in a loud bang as it was reduced to a mass of flesh and blood, scattering a heavy rain of blood throughout the day.

The bright eyes of Huo Qiming stared unblinkingly at every slight movement of the other party, not daring to be distracted to respond. Moreover, he knew that he could not trust a single word from this middle-aged man. As a well-known figure among his peers, the other party's ruthlessness was notorious.

Fang Lin, who had already fled, of course could not hear the words of the Bear King. However, even without the Bear King's reminder, he sensed that something was amiss. Ever since leaving the highway, he had felt someone pursuing him from behind. Despite exerting all his strength, he still could not shake off his pursuer by even half a step. This immediately reminded him of the earlier conversation among Huo Qi, Electric Ghost, and the others, who had repeatedly mentioned another expert from the Northeast Chifeng Army, the Chifeng King.

"Who cares about my growth? My parents only hope for me to be an ordinary person. I don't know anyone so abnormal in this world"

A creature resembling a centipede suddenly emerged from underground, but before it could unleash its fury, it was blasted into two pieces by a burst of flames from Huoqi. As if in response, the previously calm highway suddenly erupted with countless strange monsters. Huoqi's speed was not as swift as Fengjian's, nor did it possess the electrifying presence of the Thunder Ghost, yet its power was formidable. However, the flames it unleashed were highly explosive, making its escape appear quite imposing. This spectacle left Fang Linkong feeling envious.

He is the leader of a local monster group, and the international monster organization has no authority over him. However, for the sake of his group's development and certain interests, he will cooperate with the international monster alliance's wanted orders to capture those who steal the heavenly scriptures.

They had not run far when Fang Lin Kong saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing on the highway, clearly intending to block their way. This ordinary-looking middle-aged man was dressed in a military-style coat and jeans, showing no difference from an average person, except for the gloomy aura that surrounded him.

The Bear King was quite puzzled as to why the other party knew his private matters so well. However, he believed that taking action was more powerful than mere words

Who is that person who will become my savior? Why will they definitely save me?

Suddenly, Fang Lin thought of something amidst the frantic escape from the monster's devouring. He asked, "Since time is of the essence, why waste so much time in the clothing store? Wouldn't it be better to leave earlier?"

A sharp command was issued by Huo Qi.

Li Bing, male, twenty-one years old, is a first-year student at University C in this city, with a clean background and no suspicion whatsoever. However, in reality, only a very small number of "people" are aware of Li Bing's true identity
