It's time to become an evil god.

Its enormous wings flapped, bringing with them scorching winds. Blue flames appeared around the Azure Heron Fire, illuminating the dark night sky.

The falling fire rain struck the camphor tree and instantly ignited the entire tree, illuminating the gloomy main hall of Meiji Shrine like a bonfire.

"Although I am a messenger, it doesn't mean I can't fight."

A golden, fiery firebird flapped its wings and hovered above Meiji Shrine.

"Fan Gu, look closely, this is my true face!"

Bai Ge stared blankly at the gigantic, strange bird before him, and asked hesitantly, "Wait, is this your true form? A Cantonese roast goose that has become a spirit?"

"Shut up!!! I am the Phoenix!!!"

Qinglu Fire let out an angry roar, wanting to tear this guy in front of him, who even made the monster's blood pressure rise, to pieces immediately!

"Fine, let me tell you what a real phoenix is."

Bai Ge stepped forward, his clothes emitting wisps of blue smoke, as if his soul were being scorched in purgatory. A ball of scorching hellfire erupted from his body, burning fiercely. Wen Liang watched in utter astonishment as the player before him once again defied humanity.

They also have terrifying golden wings, but they radiate endless high temperatures, and each feather made of burning flames contains a burning soul that is imprisoned within.

The power I'd siphoned off from the demonic soul fragments in the crematorium finally came in handy.

A giant firebird, even larger and more terrifying than the Azure Heron, appeared in the sky. Each feather, made of flames, emanated a soul struggling in agony. Above the firebird's head, half of its body was burning.

The size of the Azure Heron Fire is simply not enough to compare.

"Look closely, this is the real phoenix!"

Bai Ge, now one with the phoenix, said coldly, "You're at best Wallace's Golden Crispy Chicken."

Chapter 104 hen shin!

To his utter surprise, the golden crispy chicken in front of him was even more exaggerated than he had imagined. A terrifying and immense sense of oppression enveloped his entire body. Qinglu Huo's instincts warned him that if he were to withstand the opponent's attack head-on, he would definitely die without a burial place.

It flapped its wings, trying its best to escape from these monsters that were even more terrifying than demons. A dazzling light and shadow, like a shooting star, appeared in the night sky as it desperately and frantically flapped its wings.

A sharp sound of a blade cutting through the air came from behind. A wind blade, hundreds of meters long and composed of fierce wind, cleaved down from top to bottom, even splitting the clouds in the sky in two.

Suppressing his pain, Wen Liang unleashed Wind Wound once more, the continuous sword energy slashing in the direction Qinglu Fire had left.

The right half of its wing was cleanly severed, almost like cutting tofu with a knife, and blood gushed out like a pillar. The Azure Heron let out a painful cry and plummeted to the ground.

The next instant, the scorching flames that could incinerate everything arrived in quick succession. Claws seized its head and slammed it against the skyscraper's glass, rubbing it back and forth. Under the violent impact, fine cracks appeared throughout the building's glass, spreading rapidly. Scorched by the intense heat, the building's glass began to melt, turning into a molten, boiling liquid. The intense heat emanating from its wings melted the steel and concrete of the skyscraper, turning it into a molten, hot liquid that plummeted downwards.

Its wingspan blots out the sky, and its eyes burn with hellfire.

The once pitch-black city of Kyoto turned blood-red and scorching hot with the appearance of the phoenix. The scorching wind stirred up by its flapping wings created visible waves of heat on the ground, blurring the air and distorting vision.

The exterior glass of the steel and concrete skyscrapers in the distance reflects a dazzling light, making it impossible to tell whether it is day or night.

The Kyoto night, which had been silent and deserted for a long time due to the power outage, has come alive again.

The weak demons hiding nearby fled in droves. Although they didn't know what had happened, the commotion coming from Meiji Shrine was enough to attract the attention of all the major and minor forces in Kyoto.

Fortunately, the phoenix form did not last long, and the flames gradually dissipated.

Terrified, the Azure Heron instantly shrank to the size of a little girl and fled the scene, heavily injured.

If you can't beat them, hurry back and call for ghosts!

She had a premonition that if the fight continued like this, she might really be burned to ashes by the wrath of the gods!

Rapid footsteps sounded behind me, as if they hadn't even stopped to catch up. I even heard urgent shouts from behind, "Wait, kid, don't run away! I'm not a good person!"

"Don't worry, you don't have much meat. At most, I'll make a crispy roasted pigeon!"

Huh? What? Eating wild protected animals is illegal! Oh, but animals that have become sentient don't count? Then it's fine.

Qinglu Huo felt a chill run down his spine. Good heavens, there was absolutely no evidence left to prove he was a decent human being!

The little girl, clutching her severed right hand, charged forward recklessly, completely oblivious to the trail of blood behind her. Given the choice between dying from blood loss and being plucked and sprayed with hot water on the spot, she would rather choose the former!

The sounds behind her gradually faded into the distance. To her surprise, Qinglu Huo didn't chase after her. She slowed down, her face pale, and leaned against the wall, slowly squatting down. The terrifying ordeal had nearly cost her her life.

I must go back and tell Lord Momiji that a formidable character has arrived in Kyoto.

If we don't unite the eighteen warlords to attack them, I'm afraid all the demons and monsters in Kyoto who have become sentient animals will be eaten and become protected species.

Qinglu Huo staggered to his feet and walked awkwardly into the deep alley. But from the darkest depths came the dull thud of a saw cutting flesh. It seemed someone was painstakingly slicing something apart, bit by bit.

A strong smell of blood permeated the entire alley. A figure dressed in a cherry blossom kimono staggered out of the shadows. When Qingluhu saw her clearly, she was so frightened that she took a step back.

The woman in the kimono, whose face was missing, had most of her body neatly cut off. She was still walking forward, her hands swaying and her internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

"I remember this guy was the faceless prostitute under the Great Tengu?"

Before Qingluhu could recover from the shock, a foul gust of wind swept over him, and the faceless prostitute, who was right in front of him, was cut in half at the waist.

Blood splattered on the wall, and the ghostly shadow reflected on it was now only half of its standing lower body, still gushing blood, which splashed all over Qinglu Huo's face.

From the depths of darkness came the sound of a heavy object being dragged across the rough concrete. A massive wheel came into view, and in the center of the wheel, an enormous bald head had been cleaved open at the forehead. A serrated blade whirled through the bones, ultimately splitting the Wheel Monk's head in two.

It stared blankly at the strangely dressed man before it, who wore a dark gray tricorn hat popular in the Victorian era, with a collar covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes. His worn gray trench coat was stained with blood, and only a pair of indifferent eyes were scrutinizing it.

Qinglu Huo, however, felt a fear of being watched by death.

With a light flick of the serrated knife, bits of bone and flesh stuck to the wall.

Boots pounded through blood as the mysterious, uninvited guest muttered to himself, "You must accept your death to be freed from the long night."

He looked up at the blood moon, a blank look in his eyes. He spread his hands, took a deep breath of the murky, blood-tinged air, and murmured to himself, "Hunter, have you ever seen a glimmer of dawn? So faint, so fleeting, yet I refuse to give up, even though I am already immersed in the stench of blood and monsters."

He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from his fingertips, a crazed smile spreading across his lips.

Qingluhuo was too frightened to move. Although he didn't know what the madman in front of him wanted to say, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would only end up with his head falling off.

Now it's full of question marks. Why are all the living people it's met tonight crazier than the last?

what is the problem?

The uninvited guest lowered his head, raised the serrated knife in his hand, and calmly said, "But even in this pitch-black night, I can still see the bright moonlight. And how many blows can a monster withstand?"

We have no choice but to give it our all.

Azure Heron gritted its teeth, attempting to transform into the immortal firebird once more, letting out a mournful cry. The scorching flames illuminated the narrow alley, and only then did Azure Heron see the dark alley behind the madman, its pupils shrinking sharply.

The entire journey was filled with severed limbs and mutilated bodies, and the walls and ground were stained blood red!

This guy just slaughtered an entire group of monsters!

"So the killing hasn't stopped yet?"

However, the madman opposite him calmly pulled a syringe filled with an unidentified red liquid from his pocket, and without saying a word, plunged it into his neck, muttering to himself, "But hunters are never alone."

Then the opponent adopted a very strange and bizarre posture, with his left elbow against his abdomen and his other hand raised high at an angle. Accompanied by a loud shout, the change suddenly occurred.

"henshin!"

The muscles all over his body instantly swelled and tightened, the veins on his skin bulged, fine fangs began to grow in his mouth, the corners of his mouth kept getting longer and longer, thick hair appeared on his limbs, the bones all over his body were forcibly pulled up, and he made painful sounds.

"Ughhhhh!"

When the screams ceased, the living person before them instantly transformed into a beastly monster, its eyes as crimson as the red moon's.

He picked up the serrated knife again and slung it over his shoulder, roaring like a beast-like werewolf.

The crows perched in the trees were startled and flew away in fear and unease.

All living things instinctively sensed a terrifying danger.

"Despicable outsider!"

Qingluhuo was dumbfounded. Only then did she belatedly realize what was happening. She angrily cursed, "So you meant transforming at the drop of a hat when you can't win?"

"No, I transformed just to take care of your feelings and let you die with dignity."

Even after transforming into a ferocious monster, he maintained a calm demeanor and said softly, "So that people won't say that you, as a demon, can't even beat an ordinary person."

Chapter 105 I'm a chef who's an expert in culinary disasters

The mysterious madman before them redefined what it meant to be an ordinary person. The deadly flame attack, which they thought was impossible to dodge in the narrow alley, was actually blocked by the serrated knife in his hand and his strong body.

The opponent had already turned into a burning fireball. Any other monster would have been charred corpses long ago. Unexpectedly, the corpse in front of them actually moved, easily patting the flames off its body and gradually extinguishing them.

Wasn't it supposed to be that the hairy ones are weak against fire?

The other party pulled out a bottle of something resembling hand sanitizer from its pocket and poured it on itself, making a sizzling sound. The burn wounds on its body were slowly healing. The monster stood perfectly intact in front of them, relying on its incredibly powerful regeneration and repair abilities.

Flames emanated from his entire body, and Qinglu Huo, whose mouth was parched, almost spat out a mouthful of blood, cursing angrily!

Hey, referee, someone's cheating here!

Qinglu Huo's neck was grabbed and she was lifted up, her vision turning black from the choking. All she could hear was the other person's cold, mocking voice, "Is this all you've got?"

"Isn't it my turn to make a move?"

Qinglu Huo suddenly noticed the other person's gaze scanning him up and down. He immediately covered his chest with both hands and screamed, "W-what are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything reckless! There is a reproductive barrier between humans and demons!"

"It's ok."

The other person leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I don't care."

Qinglu Huo instantly got goosebumps.

When Bai Ge and his group arrived at the scene, all that remained was a bald, feathered heron lying on the ground, bound tightly with ropes. Next to it was a large pot of boiling water with chopped scallions, ginger and garlic floating on top.

What's even more outrageous is that the other person had smeared cooking oil on their hands and was groping Qinglu Huo, as if giving a serious spa massage to a chicken about to be roasted in the oven, leaving Bai Ge and Wen Liang dumbfounded.

"You are..."

The mysterious man turned around, looked at the two living people at the alley entrance, and tentatively asked, "Are you also players participating in the mission?"

He didn't act immediately, but instead revealed his player ID to identify himself: [Yarnan Hunter - Raven lv8]

"Yes."

Bai Ge and Wen Liang exchanged a glance and then revealed their respective IDs.

"At first I was worried that players might kill each other first, but I didn't expect that you all understood the other layer of meaning given by the system, just like me. After that, it was much simpler."

The crow breathed a sigh of relief, raised its hand, and said, "I'll join you."
