However.

"From the beginning, I never intended to kill you."

Baiyu shook his head, and Blood Qi poured into Lv Tao's body, directly destroying his Blood Qi Central Hub.

The Martial Artist whose Blood Qi Central Hub is destroyed.

Their entire body's Blood Qi will disperse, muscles will continuously degenerate, and ultimately they will return to being an ordinary person.

For those who have experienced superhuman strength and have been Martial Artists, it's an absolutely unbearable fatal blow.

Lv Tao felt the same.

When Baiyu destroyed his Blood Qi Central Hub, besides the pain that spread throughout his body, there was also an unforgettable hatred.

At this moment.

Listening to Baiyu's tone, he realized he wouldn't be given a swift end, making Lv Tao panic.

Indeed.

If he were killed now, he could resurrect in the Celestial Demon Pool, although he would be reborn as a Demon, compared to the abilities of rebirth and eternal life, such a small price is nothing.

But if Baiyu doesn't kill him, it makes Lv Tao somewhat panic.

"Let's go, once I've extinguished the aliens here, I'll have a slow chat with you."

Baiyu pulled off an investigator's clothes from the side, wrapped Lv Tao, slung him over his shoulder, and prepared to return.

Yet in the dense forest.

Suddenly, clear footsteps echoed.

"Not bad, really not bad, no wonder you could defeat Zi'E, who possessed the Sea Giant, it seems the secrets on your body are quite numerous.

The Black Moon Giant...

This was originally a special combat creature created by the Black Moon, and you can actually summon it.

Which means.

The Black Moon's madness is just on the surface, now it quietly develops its power in secret?"

As the voice arrived.

Baiyu stopped his steps, and behind him, a man wearing a black cloak with wings on his back, and horns on his head stood under the tree, eyes dully staring forward.

He looked somewhat like the Demon Race.

But.

There was a bit of difference from the true Demon Race.

Baiyu's eyes were intently focused on him, his hand clenched tightly around the Eye of the Black Moon: "Who are you?"

"Demon Lucas."

The man elegantly introduced himself: "Born from the Demon Monster Organization Flesh and Blood Research Association, after three baptisms in the Celestial Demon Pool, my current strength, according to human levels, should be around a Tier Two Martial Artist.

I am Mr. Lv's guide.

This means I will handle part of his tasks and assist him when he is unable to complete them.

Therefore, I advise you to surrender quickly.

Put away those unrealistic thoughts of continued resistance from your mind.

The consequence of your resistance will only leave you more embarrassed."

Baiyu heard this and laughed: "Just earlier, the guy in my hand was saying similar things to me, now his fate... you should see it too."

Lucas shook his head: "You're already thinking of running, why bother saying these things?"

"How do you know I was thinking of running?"

A smile appeared on Baiyu's face.

"I can know your thoughts, this is the power bestowed to me by the Celestial Demon Pool, you intend to summon the Black Moon Giant to stall me while using some unknown escape method to flee.

Let me think..."

Lucas tapped his fingers, his brain seemingly pondering the issue.

After two seconds.

He exclaimed in surprise: "You actually do have a way to escape from my grasp, but that's only temporary, ultimately you can only escape up to twenty meters.

That's your limit."

Baiyu looked somewhat apprehensively at this demon who resembled the Demon Race, his heart filled with doubt.

Lucas was right.

He did indeed want to summon the Black Moon Giant to stall the opponent, then use the Suffering Paperman along with the explosive force of the Forbidden Armament to escape.

It's a commonly used combination.

But.

At the moment, Lucas had seen through it.

Baiyu didn't know if he truly had the Mind Reading Technique or was using psychological tactics.

Anyway.

He couldn't sense the opponent's strength, just like an ordinary person.

That being the case.

Then Baiyu certainly wouldn't sit waiting for death.

Instantly.

Baiyu squeezed the Eye of the Black Moon, and a massive black arm once again crashed down from the clouds.

Lucas's face changed, he dared not take it head-on and his figure flashed, instantly appearing behind Baiyu with one hand placed on his shoulder.

Originally, Baiyu was preparing to directly use the Suffering Paperman and Forbidden Armament, to run swiftly away, but in an instant both spirituality and blood were suppressed.

"You're very puzzled now, wondering why spirituality and blood are being suppressed like this, also you want to feign surrender to deceive me...

Do you have another card up your sleeve?

Humans are indeed peculiar creatures."

Lucas's face showed a puzzled expression, although his hand pressing on Baiyu lacked strength, it rendered Baiyu unable to break free.

Baiyu was contemplating a countermeasure.

But the opponent had already proven he could indeed perform mind reading, or at least perceive part of a person's thoughts within a certain range.

This type of enemy.

Their strength was in an absolute crushing state.

Baiyu couldn't figure out a way to deal with it.

He even looked around but didn't find how to defeat the opponent.

Forbidden Spirit Technique, Core Technique, Forbidden Armament, Magical Items.

All were ineffective.

To defeat such an enemy capable of reading minds, it requires overpowering them with straightforward strength.

"Give it up, you can't beat me."

Lucas shook his head, his tone very casual, but coming from his mouth, it seemed like truth.

Baiyu also felt this sensation.

However.

In this instant, the long dormant knowledge tree in the scholar space suddenly began to emit light.

Baiyu's mind instantly cleared.

Then.

Information flooded into his mind continuously.

"Lucas, moth-like demon, abilities: Deceptive Words, Mind Reading, Suppression."

On the knowledge tree.

This string of text rapidly appeared from the trunk and quickly vanished.

Baiyu suddenly realized: earlier, he had fallen under the demon's abilities!

Now awake, he suddenly found that this demon named Lucas didn't seem so strong!

Firstly.

If he truly had Tier Two strength, he definitely wouldn't waste time talking, he would directly cripple or knock out Baiyu then take him away.

Secondly.

From Lucas's appearance until now, he hadn't attacked; the only display of his strength was dodging an attack from the Black Moon Giant and instantly suppressing Baiyu's blood and spirituality.

This is also very suspicious.

The opponent seemed very hesitant to engage Baiyu directly.

More often using verbal assaults to create psychological pressure.

Facade!

Baiyu quickly understood, this demon was clearly bluffing, the capability was at most just somewhat peculiar.

Previously having never interacted with demons.

Baiyu had no previous encounters, so for a moment he dropped his guard and fell into this guy's trap.

Having figured this out.

Baiyu held a pent-up frustration, but refrained from immediately reacting.

There were still some unclear aspects.

The opponent's combat power wasn't strong, but the abilities were strangely bizarre, according to the three terms given by the scholar space.

Deceptive Words, Mind Reading, Suppression.

All three terms were understandable, the most bizarre and dangerous ability was definitely "Deceptive Words".

Baiyu's Spiritual Power was not low, and his will was firm.

Yet even being deceived in such a manner evidenced the extent of the opponent's power.

But now it's been exposed.

So the threat to Baiyu was greatly reduced.

Yet there was still a "Suppression", which was not easy to handle.

This Suppression likely requires physical contact to activate, directly causing Baiyu's spirituality and blood Qi to instantly become ineffective.

Meaning he would become an ordinary person with strong limbs.

However.

Baiyu speculated that this Suppression ability should also similarly affect the opponent.

Otherwise, the last time Baiyu was suppressed, Lucas should have directly acted to cripple him.

Understanding this point.

Baiyu suddenly raised his head, just as Lucas thought he was completely controlled, Baiyu erupted with a sudden attack.

Crack!

A fist packed with immense Blood Qi was shot forth.

Lucas's silhouette flashed, instantly dodging the strike.

The opponent being able to dodge the Black Moon Giant's attack naturally could also evade Baiyu's punch.

"You actually reacted?"

Dodging the punch, Lucas looked at Baiyu with surprise, his expression shifting from the previous composed demeanor to gradually becoming vicious: "Fine, but it's useless to react, you'll die today!"
