The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 67 67, The secret demon of the mind!
After half an hour.

Li Xingzhou and Emma left the cell.

“Boss, that woman is a bit stubborn; it’s unlikely we can persuade her with words alone,” Emma said tactfully. “Perhaps we need to use some more drastic measures?”

“She is indeed very stubborn. But she is not invincible.” Li Xingzhou said with a smile, “There is no need to use any drastic measures. With a little more patience, I believe she will eventually make the right choice.”

In her combat state, Li Xingzhou could at most drive the Sand Angel into a berserk and out of control; he couldn't change her mind.

However, the Sand Angel, in its weakened and bound state, could not withstand his erosion of its will.

Just as he said, with a little more patience, the sandstorm angels will eventually be moved by his sincerity, bow their heads to him, and offer their loyalty.

"Boss, I remember you said that your abilities can be acquired through training?"

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow and looked at Emma: "So?"

Emma gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, looked up at him, and her beautiful lips, painted with pink lip gloss, curved slightly upward, revealing a captivating smile:
"So could you teach me?"

"Want to learn my skills?"

Li Xingzhou smiled, then suddenly grasped her wrist, channeled a wisp of true energy into her, and examined her meridians and bones.

Emma had no idea what he was doing and thought he needed her to pay some kind of "price" before he would teach her.

She expressed her understanding of this.

That's an incredible superhuman ability that can turn ordinary people into superhumans. How could you learn such an ability without paying any price?
Furthermore, Emma herself also had a desire to conquer this man, so after only a slight hesitation, she made up her mind—even if the Boss were to make a move on her in the hallway, she would cooperate wholeheartedly. Speaking of which, how exactly is that kind of thing done?

Just as she was recalling a short film she had occasionally watched in the past, Li Xingzhou suddenly released her wrist.

Emma paused slightly, looking at Li Xingzhou in surprise, only to see him shake his head regretfully and sigh:
“Your mindset is indeed suited to a certain path I know, but unfortunately…”

Unfortunately, his innate talent is too ordinary, and he probably won't even be able to take the first step in cultivation, such as sensing spiritual energy and drawing it into his body.

Even if Li Xingzhou helped her guide the Qi into her body, given her aptitude, she couldn't retain even a trace of spiritual energy; whatever went in, it would leak out as well.

This is also the situation for the vast majority of ordinary people.

Mortals can cultivate immortality, but to enter the world of cultivation, whether it is the path of immortality or the path of demons, one needs certain innate qualities and aptitude.

If one lacks the necessary aptitude, even if one wants to pursue the path of "entering the Dao through martial arts," one will never be able to cross the threshold of "innate" and enter the gate of Qi cultivation.

Seeing the regret on Li Xingzhou's face, Emma's hopeful eyes immediately dimmed:
"Can't you?"

“The orthodox path won’t work.” Li Xingzhou changed the subject: “However, I do have a special method that can grant you certain extraordinary abilities…”

After refining the primordial spirit of the Six Desires Goddess in his previous life, he obtained a secret technique for demonizing the mind called "Mind Imagery Secret Technique," which can guide and materialize a person's mental will, transforming it into a "secret demon."

Aside from those born saints, everyone harbors a demon within their heart.

However, ordinary people are fickle in nature, and their demonic thoughts are neither resolute nor pure. Even if they are guided out of their minds with great effort, they can only be as disgusting as sludge in a sewer, and are truly unusable.

Only those with resolute, even extremely pure, character can guide a demon with potential.

Emma Grossman is undoubtedly a one-in-a-million talent for "mind-image magic".

Given her extremely cold-blooded, cruel, and indifferent nature, Li Xingzhou was eager to see what kind of mysterious demon he could unleash from her heart.

Building One, the warden's office.

Li Xingzhou sat in a leather office chair, elbows propped on the desk, hands clasped together, backs of his hands resting on his chin, looking at Emma across the desk, and asked in a low voice:

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you want me to help you unleash your extraordinary power?"

Emma nodded firmly:

"This is a crazy world. Superheroes fly around in the sky every day, and supervillains are causing trouble everywhere. Although I am very confident in my mind, my body is too weak. Living in such a crazy world, I really lack a sense of security. I don't want to be like today, where I can only hide and tremble in fear when attacked, leaving my fate to chance. I want to protect myself, and even... protect you, Boss."

"Protect me?" Li Xingzhou's lips curled up, revealing a subtle smile. "That's right. Then, take off your clothes and lie down on the table."

Emma gently bit her lip, a blush rising to her cheeks:
Is this a necessary procedure?

Li Xingzhou nodded:
"of course."

Emma took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, and stripped naked in front of him. Then, biting her lip, she glanced at Li Xingzhou with a blushing face before sitting down on the desk and lying back.

Li Xingzhou stood up, admired the beautiful, naked body of the bad-blooded girl for a moment, took out a silver-plated dagger, cut his index finger, actively suppressed his self-healing ability, and then used his finger as a pen and his blood as ink to write incantations on her fair and delicate jade-like skin.

Although Emma is cold-blooded and indifferent, and has no empathy for others, she still values ​​herself. This is the first time she has completely exposed her body in front of a man, so it is inevitable that she will feel shy.

In particular, Li Xingzhou's fingertips touched almost every inch of her skin on the front of her body one by one. The strange touch made her whole body tremble slightly, her cheeks turned as red as blood, and her eyes gradually became misty. Her delicate nose also unconsciously emitted a strange hum.

"Relax."

While concentrating on drawing the talisman, Li Xingzhou spoke in a low, ethereal voice:
"Empty your mind, imagine sinking into the dark, bottomless ocean... Immerse yourself in that bottomless abyss and feel your truest inner self..."

“Yes… Boss.” Emma replied in a trembling voice, unconsciously closing her eyes and beginning to imagine, following Li Xingzhou’s description.

Gradually, she felt as if her body had lost all perception of the outside world, and only her consciousness was sinking into a dark, bottomless abyss...

In a daze, a faint voice, seemingly her "inner voice," resounded deep within her heart:

"What would you most like to do if you had superpowers?"

Without hesitation, she spoke her mind:
"I want to possess everything Leonard Victor has to myself and kill all the other women who come near him."

She thought this was just her true feeling.

Little did she know that in reality, she had already spoken her "true feelings".

Li Xingzhou, who was nearing the end of drawing the talisman, smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself:
"An ambitious girl..."

Although he understood Emma's ambition, Li Xingzhou did not stop drawing incantations. The blood seeping from his fingertips left twisted and eerie scarlet runes on Emma's skin, which looked like clusters of swaying blood flames or writhing blood snakes.

He had promised Emma, ​​and he would not go back on his word; he would use a secret method to grant her extraordinary abilities.

However, as a demon lord, his greatest skill is creating and controlling demons. How could he not have countermeasures against the "secret demons" he guided?

He allows Emma to have ambition, but he won't allow her ambition to actually come true.
