Chapter 459: Chapter 170 Demonic Elephant War Body! Pseudo Innate!_1
The sudden turn of events was shocking, whether to Zhong Yue or the Sun Demon Body. The Sun Demon Body had only just sensed someone rapidly approaching from behind and recognized the aura as Hong Xiang, so he had not taken much notice of it. As he wondered why the other wasn’t dealing with the Ice Crystal Chi Dragon and instead came toward him, Hong Xiang extended his hand to attack, pinning him to the ground.
This undoubtedly left Wind Sun Moon seething with surprise and anger, unable to comprehend whether Hong Xiang had lost his mind. Why would he suddenly turn his blade on his ally without any apparent reason, from a subordinate to an aggressor!
Even Su Changkong himself had not expected Hong Xiang to assist him, restraining the Sun Demon Body, allowing him a chance to flee!
“Hong Xiang… is he Hong Zhenxiang?”
And as Su Changkong saw the bloodshot eyes and urgency of this ‘Hong Xiang’, he understood at that moment why Hong Xiang would attack his own comrade.
Hong Xiang, Hong Zhenxiang!
Originally, Hong Zhenxiang had his veins severed, finding it unbearable to fall from a state city general to a cripple, he chose to fuse with a demon monster Crystal Core. After the successful transformation, he experienced a rebirth, with his severe injuries healed, but it also cost him a lot.
His temperament gradually became more murderous and ruthless, even when facing his close comrades and brothers, he struggled to control his desires, wanting to kill them, rip out their hearts, and consume their flesh and blood raw!
This made Hong Zhenxiang feel fear and dread, scared of committing acts that he would regret deeply, hence he had no choice but to leave Dafeng State City and flee far away.
After Hong Zhenxiang became a Monster Warrior, he dared not venture into crowded places, fearing he could not restrain his murderous desires, and risk slaughtering innocent civilians. When he couldn’t bear the hunger, he would hunt and kill wild beasts, eating their flesh raw as his sustenance.
So he hid and lived a concealed life deep in the mountains for two or three months.
One day, Hong Zhenxiang unexpectedly came across someone, to be precise, another being not entirely human but a Monster Warrior like him.
That Monster Warrior, upon encountering Hong Zhenxiang, also realized that Hong Zhenxiang was a Monster Warrior fused with a demon monster Crystal Core, and thus invited Hong Zhenxiang to join their organization, the Life-killing Meeting.

An organization formed by Monster Warriors could hardly be any upstanding organization in name; given Hong Zhenxiang’s character, he was reluctant to associate with them. He was about to refuse.
But Hong Zhenxiang was tired of that life of hiding and consuming raw flesh and blood, yet upon further thought, if it was an organization of Monster Warriors, they would surely have research in that area and might have a way to revert him back to a normal human being. Therefore, Hong Zhenxiang accepted the invitation and joined the Life Extinguishing Association under the introduction of the other party.
And within the Life Extinguishing Association, Hong Zhenxiang managed to break through to the Innate Realm without relying on Innate Qi, which was a rare occurrence. The Master of the Association even met with him personally and expressed his admiration.
After joining the Life Extinguishing Association, Hong Zhenxiang’s strength improved rapidly with his accumulated knowledge and experiences. He was worried about the other influences after joining, so he gave himself a new name, ‘Hong Xiang’.
During this time, Hong Zhenxiang also accepted his new identity, and as Hong Xiang, he helped the Life Extinguishing Association to complete some tasks because after all, if you are alive, you must continue to survive.
Until this day, when Hong Zhenxiang, Zhong Yue, Wind Sun Moon, and others passed by Snow Abyss Mountain and heard of the disturbances within, Wind Sun Moon decided to check the situation.
What Hong Zhenxiang did not expect was to encounter Su Changkong here!
Although Su Changkong had changed his appearance and bone structure, Monster Warriors could perceive aura like demon monsters do, recognizing people by their energy. Therefore, Hong Zhenxiang recognized him at a glance.
Subsequently, a fierce battle broke out between Zhong Yue and Su Changkong. During the fight, the Blade Techniques and Archery displayed by Su Changkong also made Hong Zhenxiang certain of his identity, but what surprised him was Su Changkong was much stronger than he had been two years ago, so strong that he could defeat a Monster Warrior like Zhong Yue, who had fused with a demon monster Crystal Core, despite not having reached the Innate Realm.
But then, Wind Sun Moon personally took action, directly using the Demon Art ‘Sun and Moon Body’, splitting into Sun Demon Body and Moon Demon Body, intent on killing Su Changkong.
And Hong Zhenxiang was aware of the fearsome strength of Wind Sun Moon after the fusion with a mid-level demon monster Crystal Core, something Su Changkong could not contend with.
In fact, it was indeed so; a casual strike from the Sun Demon Body was so terrifying that Su Changkong had to be fully focused, the slightest carelessness could result in him being crushed into dust, whereas his attacks hardly caused any damage to the Sun Demon Body.
Furthermore, having Zhong Yue lurking by the side, it could be said they were in dire straits.
Hong Zhenxiang struggled internally, knowing that if he didn’t take action, Su Changkong’s chances of survival were slim, and even if he did intervene, there was no guarantee of saving Su Changkong, and he might even risk his own life in the process.
“Since when did I, Hong Zhenxiang, become so afraid of death?” But this hesitation quickly transformed into resolve. Previously, because of Pei Yang, Hong Zhenxiang ventured alone into an extremely dangerous place, knowing the risks, and Su Changkong arrived to assist him. Hong Zhenxiang was immensely grateful to Su Changkong and treated him as a brother.
If his brother was in trouble and he simply stood by, then he would not be Hong Zhenxiang!
Even if he was no longer in the body of a human, his character becoming steadily colder and more ruthless, indifferent to life, deep down Hong Zhenxiang still clung to a belief that he could not let go of. If he lost this too, he feared he would truly no longer be himself.
Hong Zhenxiang chose to act, abandoning the attack on the Ice Crystal Chi Dragon to try to restrain the Sun Demon Body instead, creating an opportunity for Su Changkong to escape.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but the scene before him changed once more, as the Sun Demon Body was forcibly pressed to the ground by Hong Zhenxiang, who first reacted with shock, followed swiftly by furious rage!
