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

Chapter 381 Execution
The midday sun shines brightly, casting its light on the village paths.

A figure quickly emerged from behind the mud wall.

Beneath a black robe, his tall figure towered above ordinary people, and behind him, an ancient shrine sprouted black branches, each blooming with a cluster of ghostly blue soul flowers.

Standing beside him were a man and a woman.

The girl had delicate features, flowing black hair, and one eye that seemed to bloom with a vibrant lilac. Beneath her linen dress, lilac blossoms trailed along vines from her right sleeve, covering the earthen wall.

The boy's expression was cold and angry. A short layer of gray hair on his body grew and dissipated with each breath, and on his skin, faintly visible were the menacing eyes of a wolf and its ferocious jaws. It was as if he alone was a pack of wolves.

Ji Ran already knew Li Fu was in danger when his arm was severed.

There was no other way; his shrine only had six incense-burning figures, making it easy to see. Even though Li Fu's faith was relatively weak, Ji Ran immediately noticed the danger—the incense offerings were fading.

The power of incense is unreasonable; enough incense can quickly give birth to a second-tier or even a third-tier being.

However, the incense offerings are fragile; if a large number of believers die, the incense offerings will decline rapidly.

At this moment, although Li Fu was seriously injured, his faith had become even stronger! He was now on par with the Yuan siblings!

Ji Ran had a premonition that if this level of faith exceeded one hundred people, his rebuilt primordial spirit would be able to break through to level 2!
If the number of believers exceeds one thousand, the primordial spirit can become a level 3 incense god!
At this moment, Ji Ran's gaze swept over Li Fu, who was almost turned into charcoal. He was on his deathbed. The effects of the lilac flower were only to relieve pain and detoxify, but it had no ability to save lives.

"Starry spiritual energy".

The Taoist priest who was approaching stared at the lilac flower on Li Fu's body and then looked at Yuan Wei.

"Someone can actually control the spiritual energy of the stars!"

A glint of greed flashed in the Taoist's eyes. Purple rain fell from the sky, imbued with the spiritual energy contained within the Twenty-Eight Constellations. This spiritual energy was pure and extremely concentrated.

The spiritual energy originates from the Ghost Constellation, carrying its malevolent intent. Any living being that touches it will have its soul scattered and transformed into a monster if it lacks wisdom. Those with wisdom will be controlled by the malevolent intent and become evil cultivators.

The Taoist priest glanced at Ji Ran but didn't pay him any attention. Ji Ran's cultivation level at this moment was only level 1.

"This place has committed unforgivable crimes."

The Taoist priest said calmly, "You two juniors have defied the will of Heaven and served the Demon Court; your sins are grave."

"However, Longhu Mountain has a virtue of cherishing life."

"After I have eradicated the demons in this village and restored the mandate of heaven, come with me to the mountain gate to chant scriptures and atone for our sins."

His voice was unquestionable, as if he were merely handling two objects.

But now!
A foul wind, tinged with arrogance, roared as it approached—"You Taoist priest, who are you going to wipe out!"

Bang!
Bang bang! !
Three figures leaped from the rooftops, steel knives drawn from their sheaths, and landed on the path outside the village!

Sunlight filtered through the tree canopy, casting dappled patterns of light on the three-headed rat servant.

All three monsters wore gilded chainmail and wielded swords made of refined steel! A black wind banner with flame patterns was stuck in a groove on their back armor, fluttering in the cold forest wind!

"The three-headed demon school isn't bad."

"You can earn a few taels of merit."

The Taoist priest sneered as he flicked the talisman. With a sweep of his longsword, he directly struck the center of the talisman, and a sharp aura immediately covered the blade!

At the same time, talismans rose up and transformed into bursts of fire that shot into the sky!

……

In the tense moment, Ji Ran signaled Yuan Wei to rescue Li Fu. At this moment, Li Fu was already charred, his muscles completely burned.

The Taoist's fire arrow almost instantly turned him into a dried-up corpse. If he hadn't arrived in time, the Lilac Flower wouldn't have even had a chance to save his life.

"Want to live?"

"Even if it means living as a monster."

Ji Ran looked into Li Fu's eyes, which were now two empty holes, unable to elicit any response from him.

But at this moment, Ji Ran sensed his anger and resentment from the faintly visible incense smoke. Through the incense, Ji Ran saw what he was seeing and what he was thinking.

Gray Rabbit, Smile, Return Journey, Two Taoist Priests...

Slaughter, heads, crushing powerful bows!
That struggle and helplessness, that sense of superiority... Ji Ran felt it all at once.

This is the perspective of the Incense God. Only now, with the faith of three devout followers, does Ji Ran's identity as the Incense God truly deserve its name.

"I understand."

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Vlad."

"exist."

“Transform him into a bloodline.”

"clear."

Whoosh!
A beam of blood-red light pierced the charred corpse from the ring! A faint life force emanated from the corpse. But that wasn't enough.

The bloodline modification doesn't make one much stronger; it simply brings one's physical attributes to their optimal state, giving the body a slight immortality.

Ji Ran raised his hand and crushed a gene seed, infusing a portion of the Devourer's aura into the charred corpse. The Devourer, as the materialization of Wrath, would stimulate a person's potential and greatly enhance their regenerative abilities. The portion he provided was small; Li Fu's own anger was needed to activate this power.

"You two, take him back first."

"Yes."

Just as Yuan San and Yuan Wei were about to lift Li Fu, a childish voice rang out—

"You are not allowed to leave!"

Flames and gales erupted outside the village, causing the trees to sway as if in a trance, their bodies writhing in the roar of wind and fire.

The three-headed demon and the Taoist priest were already locked in battle, while amidst the swaying flames, a young Taoist boy dressed in a blue robe strolled over.

"Master already said so."

"You two are staying."

The young Taoist priest wore a cold smile, his eyes fixed on the three of them as if they were living, breathing people.

Instead, they treated it like looking at pigs or dogs.

The alchemical iris indicates the novice's level: Level 2.

Ji Ran waved his hand, signaling the Yuan siblings to continue.

"How dare you!"

Seeing that the three ignored him, the young Taoist priest became furious. He gritted his teeth, pulled out a talisman, and took a peach branch from the box. He shouted, "Flying sword!"

Whoosh!
The peach branch, activated by the talisman, suddenly transformed into a brown sword embryo, carrying a sharp sword aura as it hurtled towards them!

"Flying sword?"

Ji Ran remained motionless, simply saying, "Coincidentally, I have one too."

bass!
A resounding sword cry caused the fleeing sword light to tremble violently!
The next moment, the black and red sword light instantly engulfed the wooden sword! The Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo, like a streak of blood-red lightning, instantly pierced through the Daoist boy's head!
puff--

Bang!

The box crashed to the ground, the Taoist boy's mouth twitched, his eyes were bloodshot, and a diamond-shaped wound pierced through his face from his forehead.

Bang!
As the Taoist boy fell to the ground, the Demon Sword Embryo continued its momentum, becoming even sharper!
The aura around the sword embryo was stained with blood red, condensing into a terrifying blade aura, heading straight for the Taoist fighting in front!
This Taoist was a level 4 cultivator whose spirit and body were one, and he was currently suppressing the three-headed monster with ease.

From the very beginning, her sword was aimed at him.

"Um?!"

The Taoist priest seemed to have ears on the back of his head. When he turned his head to look during the battle, his expression suddenly changed!

"My disciple!"

hum-

The piercing sword cry, like the low growl of a wild beast, swept back the sky full of talismanic fire and instantly arrived in front of the Taoist!
"Get out of here!!"

The black-faced, sharp-toothed rat servant's expression changed drastically. It let out a shrill hiss and immediately fled in all directions!

Alert level increased by 5%!

Current alert level: 10%

The spiritual power attached to the Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo is my current full strength, at the peak of level 4!
Ji Ran's goal was to severely injure him instantly, and then use the Soul Flower skill [Life Borrowing Technique] to control the Taoist!

"Heavenly soldiers descend in armor!"

Just as the Heavenly Demon Sword hurtled towards him, the Taoist roared and withdrew his sword, its tip pointing to the sky. Instantly, a pale golden armor appeared beside him!

"solid!"

"Congeal!"

"Certainly!"

Three talismans flew out instantly, making the golden armor even more solid!
Click——!
However, all these defenses shattered like glass when they came into contact with the Dao True level Heavenly Demon Sword.

"!"

The Taoist's eyes widened, and before he could utter a word, his eyes reflected the golden dust and the scarlet sword light!

Pfft!

The flying sword sent a spray of blood soaring into the sky, then spun back into the shrine.
