All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 270 One Step, One Kill

Chi You.

The raging flames surged and burned everything in their path! This was the Taotie Fire, the most terrifying strategic weapon of the Mohist school!
The Chi You airship's cannons were reinforced with energy protection, and the entire airship was cast in bronze with engraved runes, making it incredibly sturdy!

Ordinary attacks simply cannot destroy it!

Even if the cursed blades that spewed lasers had actually entered the muzzle of the Taotie Cannon, they wouldn't have caused any real damage.

There was only one reason why the entire airship capsized—

Skill - Cursed Blade: Can absorb any spells, matter, or impacts it touches and turn them into blades.

The devastating fire of Taotie turned into heavy cannons that blasted towards itself. At such close range, the Chiyou had absolutely no room to react!

At this moment, the woman in red was wearing a mask covered with taotie patterns, outlining a golden-red color on her face.

Her eyes were fixed on Ji Ran, filled with indignation and murderous intent!
The patterns on the mask resembled writhing blood vessels, piercing into the woman's flesh from her forehead and chin!
Golden-red veins were visible on the woman's skin, spreading throughout her entire body!
bass!
The woman pulled a crimson copper ruler from a box behind her, her fingertips extending golden-red veins as they climbed the ruler.

Bear!
The next moment, the copper ruler burst into flames! And under the influence of the copper ruler, these flames solidified, transforming into a scorching red sword!

"We will brave fire and blades, even unto death!"

boom!
With a roar, the woman charged straight into the flames! Golden runes shimmered on her red robe, which not only escaped the flames but also absorbed them, gradually heating up the hem of her garment!

Ji Ran held the Kunwu sword in his hand, but his gaze swept over the Mo family disciples wailing in the flames.

boom!
The next moment, Ji Ran's figure suddenly shot out!
bass!
The head of a blackened ink-wielder, still wailing, flew off!

"First."

[4.89 → 4.9]!
In the instant the gluttonous fire exploded, it had already killed several black-clad ink-wielders and a large number of gray-robed ink-wielders.

Because they were standing at the front, all the surviving scholars were seriously injured! Their black robes had no fireproof properties! At this moment, amidst the flames, Ji Ran was able to walk normally thanks to the fragments of the Nine Li Cauldron!

At this moment, he resembled a white tiger pacing through a fiery forest.

Unleashing its chilling claws at those wailing poets!
Pfft!

Kunwu's cold light pierced diagonally into a scholar's chest, then suddenly slashed upwards, pulling him out from his neck!

Blood spurted and sprayed, exploding in the flames into a rising mist of blood!
"the second."

The power is absorbed the instant the killing occurs!

[4.9 → 4.91]!
An unparalleled sense of satisfaction gave Ji Ran an uncontrollable urge to kill!
[The Beast of Greed]!
At this moment, Ji Ran's attack power had unknowingly increased to 130%, but as Ji Ran became satisfied, he himself did not receive any negative bonuses.

In other words, the beast's attack at this moment is purely positive!

Before them stood another scholar, but after his black robe burned away, a suit of silver armor was revealed.

A faint energy shield appeared, preventing him from suffering any injury.

At this moment, his armored face was revealed, his skin charred black by the flames, and his eyes were covered with a deathly white layer, yet he still looked in Ji Ran's direction.

"Death will come without hesitation!!!"

boom!
The scholar immediately sprang up, his armored arms suddenly spreading wide!
Ji Ran's figure showed no sign of backing down!
His speed increased dramatically under the influence of the spiritual barrier, and his left side, clad in blood-scale armor, slammed fiercely into the ink-wielding scholar!

boom! !

The terrifying impact shattered countless silver fragments of armor! Faced with absolute power, the ink-wielding swordsman's body was sent hurtling out like a cannonball!
when!
But Ji Ran's left foot landed on his chest mid-air during the Mo Ke's swift attack!

The pulsating spiritual barrier gave Ji Ran unparalleled balance!

His hands gripped the Kunwu sword tightly, and he thrust it forcefully into the scholar's face!
puff--

Blood spurted out and slammed heavily into the charred corpses!
The third!
The moment he landed, Ji Ran lowered his body, his legs bent like springs, and then he sprang forward!
bass!
brush--

Kunwu swung his sword, sweeping a ferocious silver light through the flames!

One after another, gray-robed figures, barely clothed and exuding the smell of flesh from the flames, were torn apart by blood and gore!
The small but dense power surged through Ji Ran's body, causing his physical abilities to improve uncontrollably!
"Thief!"

"Come and fight!!"

Behind them, the woman wielding the crimson sword had eyes that were practically bloodshot!
The man who attacked her didn't engage in a fight at all; instead, he slaughtered all the disciples of the Mo Clan at a speed she couldn't comprehend!

It was a massacre!

Anyone who gets close to him is no match for him! This is partly due to the surging of the Gluttonous Fire, but the man's terrifying speed and strength are even more astonishing!

One step, one kill!

Bang!
At this moment, Ji Ran's figure came to a stop amidst the flames. Beneath Ji Ran lay a charred corpse in the swirling, obscure runes of the gluttonous fire.

Kunwu's blade was a deep crimson, and blood trickled down like a stream, forming a line with the ground. In the firelight, it was shrouded in scorching steam.

4.95!

Just one step away from level 5 physical body!
Bear!
At that moment, Ji Ran raised his hand.

The fire-resistant cloth bound to his right hand billowed with flames, engulfing all the Taotie Fire. Such terrifying flames, without spiritual power, would absolutely be a killing move!
"die!!!"

At that moment, the red-clad swordsman roared and charged forward!
The ancient bronze hull extinguished the flames, and with them, the life. Its two-meter-long body was well-proportioned and robust, its exposed skin marked with white scars resembling those of a fierce tiger.

At this moment, Ji Ran felt his blood and flesh surging. Facing the red-clad man who was attacking him, he raised his knife and stood up!

when! ! !
Kunwu bit down on the blade of the Crimson Sword, and the terrifying heat made Ji Ran's skin sting!

"Well done!"

A rare look of fervor appeared on Ji Ran's face!
Dangdang! !

The swift and fierce exchange of fire tore apart the charred ruins of the deck!
Ji Ran's skin was torn open with lacerations, and charred streaks were ripped open by the crimson sword opposite him!

But Ji Ran did not back down an inch.

when!
In another struggle, Ji Ran, who had been holding the knife with both hands, suddenly switched to holding it with only one hand!
He clenched his left fist and slammed it down hard on his opponent!

boom!
The punch landed hard on the red-clad man's cheek!

The terrifying force slammed into her, causing her to stagger!
However, at the same time, Kunwu, who had lost the support of his left hand, failed to block his opponent's crimson sword, and the blood-red sword light instantly tore open Ji Ran's right chest!

Pfft!

Blood gushed out, and the wound was scalded black by the terrifyingly high temperature!
but……

[The Wrathful Beast]!
Since the Southern Han Dynasty, Ji Ran has rarely used self-harm to gain a surge in power.

But now!
He was like a raging beast, letting his wounds burst open and the roar of blood filled the air, but two words appeared in his eyes!
[Anger]!
【greedy】!
Bang!
Ji Ran, covered in blood, crashed directly into the ink-seller's arms!
Bang!
Her left arm, clad in blood-scale armor, slammed into the red-robed man's neck! And though her gaze beneath the mask was unpleasant, the woman's swordsmanship was exceptionally refined!

The sword moved like a dragon, sweeping across in an instant, directly slicing through Kunwu and tearing open Ji Ran's abdomen!

"Well!"

Ji Ran let out a muffled groan! Blood instantly soaked her lower abdomen!

The man in red robes turned his sword and cut straight at Ji Ran, who was gripping his wrist!
"Vlad!"

Click, click, click!
The blood-scale armor instantly surged towards Ji Ran's left arm!

when!
sizzle-

The crimson sword struck the arm clad in blood-scale armor, but was blocked by the thick armor plates! The blade, formed from gluttonous fire, visibly burned Ji Ran's armor, melting away the life force of the bloodline!

But Ji Ran's thumb, which was gripping the woman's neck, had already dug into her flesh!
"Uh uh uh!!!"

Only then did a hint of panic appear in the woman's eyes!
She gritted her teeth and thrust the sword fiercely toward Ji Ran's neck!

Thud!

Kunwu tried to deflect the attack with one hand, but he couldn't withstand the woman's strength, and the crimson sword still pierced through!

Ji Ran neither dodged nor evaded, but instead lowered his body slightly, allowing the blade to pierce through his right shoulder!
*Sizzle*—The sharp, scorching blade pierced right through Ji Ran's bones and flesh! His body, which was close to level 5, was so fragile it was practically made of paper!
Instead of advancing, Ji Ran retreated, suddenly closing in on the man in red!
The Crimson Sword was stuck in Ji Ran's flesh!

At such close range, the woman had no room to draw her sword!

now!

Ji Ran's right shoulder was visibly burnt and charred!
But his right hand dropped Kunwu and grabbed the woman's neck!
boom!
The shadow cast by Ji Ran's two-meter-tall figure completely concealed the woman in the red robe! Ji Ran's hands were like iron clamps, his arms and flesh like giant pythons writhing, pinching the flesh on the woman's neck until it caved in!
"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"

The woman growled, and large patches of gold and red surged from her mask!

Click!

The iron mask shattered, revealing a cold, aloof face. However, this face was flushed red, its eyes bloodshot, and the previous domineering killing intent was gone!
The look in her eyes as she looked at Ji Ran was filled with disbelief and terror!
It was like seeing a heartless beast!

Wild, dangerous, suffocating!
Her overwhelming strength, overwhelming swordsmanship, and even the ingenuity of her mechanisms—none of it even had a chance to be displayed!
Click!

The sound of bones shattering, accompanied by the cracking of muscles tearing, rang out in the woman's desperate gaze...
"Drink up!!!"

Ji Ran let out a low roar!

puff-

The flesh between his hands suddenly vanished! Golden-red blood shot skyward!
Bang!
The headless, red-robed corpse staggered and collapsed onto the bronze deck.

A "high" threat level opponent... was treated like a medium threat, and his neck was snapped in a few rounds!
Stab it!

Ji Ran drew the crimson sword from his shoulder and threw it on the ground.

Bang!

"puff!"

A mouthful of scalding blood sprayed onto the deck. In this battle, Ji Ran was only injured by the man in red robes, but every strike was a severe wound!

Especially when he was close to her, with the woman's neck being choked, even he couldn't withstand the strength of the one-handed sword!

The sword techniques were also exquisite.

However, I won!
Use the desperate fighting style that I used when I was weak!
At this moment, his lower abdomen, along with his intestines and internal organs, was severely damaged. His right shoulder, along with his lungs and most of his chest cavity, was completely cooked through, and the muscles were charred and lifeless.

"Vlad, is there enough time for your injuries to heal?"

"I can recover about 70-80%, but I will fall into a coma before I can replenish my spiritual power, and I will also be unable to use the Bloodscale Armor."

"recover."

"it is good."

The blood-scaled armor transformed into a blood-red mass of flesh, rapidly healing its injuries.

At the same time, Ji Ran felt the surging power within his body!

This power can definitely propel me to level 5 physical strength!
Each level breakthrough brings a huge leap in physical strength! After breaking through level 4, one's muscles can tighten and their density increases dramatically!
So, what will Level 5 bring?
Man can conquer heaven!

boom!
As the power was absorbed by his body, Ji Ran felt a terrifying heat surge through his limbs and bones!
Countless scalding breaths overflowed from the depths of his bone marrow, entwining himself in his flesh and blood!
On the surface of his skin, small, snake-like veins throbbed!

The muscles seemed to be pulled by something, twitching spasmodically!

"Well!"

Ji Ran let out a painful groan, stumbled, and leaned against a scorching hot bronze pillar! Something was surging beneath the veins on his body!

Beneath a dense network of blue veins, a powerful tendon stretched from his limbs, coiling around his entire body. A terrifying sense of power grew within Ji Ran's arms and legs!

[4.95 → 5.02]!
The burning sensation spread from my limbs and eventually climbed up my spine!
A massive tendon, as thick as a thumb, ran through his limbs and bones! The sensation was as if his bones and muscles were an arrow, and now his body was fitted with a fine dragon tendon bowstring!
Big muscles!

Power, increasing exponentially!
It is at least dozens of times more than it was before.

"No wonder……"

At this moment, Ji Ran's eyes flashed with a sharp light. No wonder the three-faced Buddha could catch his Soaring Phoenix Slash with one hand!
My physical body has only reached level 5, but when I unleash my full physical power, it's already almost the same as when I used the Soaring Phoenix technique.

It's not surprising that a level 6 Three-Faced Buddha, whose spiritual power has been transformed into physical strength, could catch his own Jingluan with one hand.

As the level increases, the gap between levels becomes more and more exaggerated, and it is no longer as easy to defeat the higher-ups as it was in the first level.

The physical leap beyond level 5 diluted the mutation brought about by this absorption of power.

Ji Ran stood on the deck, feeling the power while his brows furrowed slightly.

I think I was just... affected.

They were influenced by the Three Evil Beasts.

The desire to kill and the deprivation of power made his battles increasingly ferocious, and he gradually became dependent on the three evil beasts, just like before.

Do not!
Suddenly, Ji Ran's eyes flashed!
Previously, he had suppressed the Three Evil Beasts because of his status as a Turbid Immortal! After obtaining the status of a Turbid Immortal, he was able to suppress the influence of the Three Evil Beasts and use this talent rationally.

But after entering this world, this rationality... seems to have disappeared.

In this world... has one's status been affected?

Ji Ran let out a long breath; he still couldn't be sure about this. Without the support of spiritual energy in this world, he still needed to be careful about getting injured.

At that moment, Ji Ran looked at the headless corpse on the ground. He stepped forward and took off the red robe that had remained unscathed during the battle.

A woman in a white, fitted outfit leaned against the deck. Thinking of the tavern's menu, Ji Ran realized that the dead, too, were a resource in this world.

Ji Ran glanced at it, rolled up the fire-resistant cloth in his hand, and scattered a wisp of Taotie fire.

boom!
The raging flames instantly engulfed the corpse, bidding the warship its final farewell. This was also his way of showing respect to a powerful figure.

Ji Ran glanced behind her.

There were still living people inside the Chi You, but they were very weak, and Ji Ran wasn't interested. They were probably just ordinary people piloting this behemoth.

Standing at the very front of the deck, the view is fairly open.

Ji Ran thought for a moment and took out the ID card of the D-level researcher.

A seven-colored light appeared in the depths of his eyes—the Dao of Cause and Effect!

Countless gray-white threads appeared in sight, densely packed, some real and some ethereal.

too messy.

Ji Ran could only deduce that the Zashiki-warashi was likely on the outskirts, while the Kaze-beast was near the Immortal Capital. As for the cause and effect of this D-level researcher ID card… it pointed to the collapsed garbage mountain.

bass.

Ji Ran looked at it for a moment, then put away the identity card. It seemed the side quest was happening at that collapsed garbage mountain.

Without further hesitation, he picked up the Kunwu sword, found the cursed blade, and, along with the red copper ruler, shoved them all into the mouth of the evil dragon silkworm.

He immediately jumped off the Chiyou Horn.

The next killing session is fast approaching. There will likely be some unexpected events in the killing field.

Bang!
Ji Ran landed, but the ground beneath his feet did not crack; it simply sank slightly due to his weight.

The large tendons that grow in his body allow him to achieve ultimate control over his muscles!
"He... he really killed that red-robed swordsman."

The old man's throat bobbed as he looked through the window at the blood that had fallen to the ground.

In the interplay of light and shadow created by the Chi You warship and the sunlight, a towering figure over two meters tall strode forward. His exposed skin was covered in stripes resembling those of a white tiger.

The crimson robe, as red as blood, shimmered with golden-red taotie patterns. Beside him, a scabbard held three menacing hilts.

The trembling of the alien phagocytosis within the old man's body told him...

The man in front of me was countless times more terrifying than before!
