One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 459: Chapter 382: Justice Over Family, War Approaches

Su Heng didn’t take it seriously and glanced down.

But this time, he felt a bit of surprise and couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.

"Interesting

This woman’s face actually bore a seven or eight point resemblance to Qin Shunying.

The illusion created by the Heart Demon is a reflection of the inner subconscious, which, in a sense, has referential value.

"Have I ever had such thoughts about Qin Shunying?” Su Heng subconsciously reflected, “Or is it that among all the women I know, Qin Shunying is the most suitable one?”

However, his heart in pursuing martial arts was unwavering, and after cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, Su Heng underwent a transformation in life levels, his lifespan now immeasurably elongated, also having no thoughts of procreating offspring.

Moreover, with the current strength of his physique, no woman could withstand it anyway. That wouldn’t be creating life, it would be outright murder. Su Heng downed the thin soup in the bowl in one gulp, and then reached out to gently caress the woman’s cheek.

The woman immediately blushed, slightly bowing her head down.

Su Heng’s thick fingers brushed past her chin, down to her neck, like a venomous snake capturing its prey.

Snap!

He didn’t give the woman any chance to react.

With a sudden force of Su Heng’s five fingers, the woman’s spine broke, and life ceased instantly.

…

With the woman’s death right in front of him,

The Illusion Realm in front of Su Heng could no longer sustain itself and gradually twisted and vanished like a fading oil painting.

Su Heng found himself back inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

Hiss…

A stabbing pain came from his chest.

Looking down,

A long sword pierced through his chest.

Moreover, the sword blade was shimmering with a faint blue light, seemingly coated with some extremely vicious poison.

The sword’s hilt was held by a beautiful woman dressed in red, her hair disheveled, and her face wearing a mixed expression of crying and laughter, looking a bit manic.

This woman was Li Hongxiu.

Li Hongxiu’s voice, as cold as a ghoul crawling out of a dried well, said, “Do you know how hard it has been for me to lurk by your side, waiting for this opportunity, enduring humiliation and bearing the burden, finally, finally!”

Li Hongxiu suddenly looked up and let out a long sigh, “Finally, I can avenge my sisters of the Red House!”

"I haven’t killed your sisters,” sighed Su Heng, extending two fingers to pinch the sword blade and with just a gentle force, the long sword broke off.

Clang!

The feedback sensation from the hilt.

Made it impossible for Li Hongxiu to hold on, and the hilt fell out of her hand onto the ground, eliciting a crisp sound.

In the flickering firelight around him, Su Heng’s towering figure seemed to slowly swell, casting a substantial and vast shadow.

His muscles writhed, the sword blade stuck in his chest fell out, and landed together with the other half of the sword hilt.

Li Hongxiu stepped back.

A look of terror appeared on her pale face.

"Too weak,” said Su Heng, “Even if you had a thousand years, you could not harm me.”

"Tsk tsk.” He seemed somewhat disappointed as he shook his head, then reached out to gently touch Li Hongxiu’s forehead.

Li Hongxiu immediately stiffened on the spot.

Her exterior maintained intact, but the brain inside had been turned into mush.

Blood mixed with brain matter turned into a pale pink viscous fluid, flowing out more and more from the girl’s nostrils.

Her frail figure swayed gently twice.

Then, under Su Heng’s gaze, she collapsed to the ground.

…

In the secret chamber beneath the Demon Suppression Tower.

Su Heng opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

This should be truly over now, the Heart Demon Sect’s Secret Technique was still placed right before him.

However, the Undying Fruits given by the Ming Daoist had all vanished.

During the time Su Heng traversed the Illusion Realm, overcoming the Heart Demon,

The essence contained within these Undying Fruits had been completely absorbed and refined by Su Heng.

Regarding the measurement of spiritual power,

Su Heng always had a very simple but accurate method.

Based on the range covered by the Gravity Manipulation talent and the extreme force that could be applied, Su Heng was able to roughly judge the growth of his spiritual power.

Originally, when he first awakened his Gravity Manipulation talent, he could normally exert an extreme gravitational force of about three hundred thousand tons on the outside world. Later, in the Dragon Abyss, he acquired some medicines that could aid spiritual cultivation. Furthermore, after obtaining Treasure Medicine from King Qingyang, Su Heng’s limit of spiritual power in a normal state increased to one million tons, not much different from his power when he used the Heavenly Demon State before.

And now…

Having only integrated the seven Undying Fruits given by the Ming Daoist,

Su Heng made a rough estimate.

The extreme gravitational force he could now exert on the outside world was about… three million tons!

If bolstered by the Heavenly Demon State, the force provided by Su Heng’s Gravity Manipulation might break through the level of tens of millions of tons.

The method given by the Ming Daoist indeed had some unique merits.

The progress was noticeable.

But the figure of ten million tons,

When first heard, it might seem quite formidable.

Yet, relative to Su Heng’s physique, the disparity was still quite clear.

With his current strength, a punch from Su Heng could easily blast apart a mountain.

But to lift this mountain from the ground using Gravity Manipulation talent, that gap was too far; even with spiritual power, it was not yet possible to alter the terrain at will.

Of course…

This is also a differentiation between the physical body and the spirit.

The former is more adept at pure destruction, while the latter is more about winning with unexpected strategies.

Bang bang bang!

A series of crisp knocking sounds interrupted Su Heng’s thoughts.

He pressed the switch beside him, and immediately the door opened. First, a small and exquisite head popped out from the outside, followed by a body clad in a red dress, holding something, walking in from outside.

"Sss

Li Hongxiu entered the secret room.

Lifting her head, she saw Su Heng’s eyes glowing red like big light bulbs in the darkness.

She was startled, and the items in her arms suddenly scattered on the ground.

Li Hongxiu patted her chest and slowly came back to her senses, “I always felt that the way you looked at me just now was strange, something wasn’t quite right.”

"It’s nothing.”

Su Heng sighed softly, and the red glow in his eyes dissipated.

At first glance at Li Hongxiu, he almost thought he hadn’t exited the Heart Demon Illusion Realm yet.

However, his spiritual cultivation was improving, and he quickly realized something was wrong. It looks like Li Hongxiu indeed had something important to seek him out for.

Li Hongxiu bent down to pick up the documents scattered on the ground.

Swoosh!

Su Heng gestured with his finger.

The documents immediately flew towards him, landing in his hands.

Even though the environment in the secret room was very dim, it didn’t affect Su Heng’s vision at all.

His gaze quickly swept over them, inside was a record of the recent research on Dragon Guard equipment, as well as the analysis progress of Demon Descendant machinery.

Overall.

Wang Xindong had handled these matters quite well.

Some of the research findings had even exceeded Su Heng’s original expectations.

It gave him a sense of pleasant surprise.

Li Hongxiu said, “These progresses are one thing, the main issue is that something unusual has been transmitted from Skull Plain. The Mythical Battlefield has not yet fully descended, but the aura of the Blood Realm has already begun to expand, spreading over Skull Plain. Senior Meng Huan had no choice but to lead a retreat.”

Under normal circumstances.

When Su Heng was in closed-door cultivation, he would leave matters to Li Hongxiu and the others to handle.

But the Mythical Battlefield was of great importance, and Su Heng had specifically instructed previously, so Li Hongxiu reported to him as soon as she received the news from the frontline.

"Has something like this happened before? What about Nangong Yue and the others, do they have any insights?” Su Heng asked instinctively.

Nangong Yue, Zhao Sheng, Huang Mei, and the others.

Although they seemed a bit weak in Su Heng’s eyes.

As seasoned cultivators, they could be considered experienced and knowledgeable, and they might have some insight into such matters.

"No.” Li Hongxiu shook her head and said, “They have not encountered anything like this, but it clearly doesn’t seem like good news.”

"I understand.” Su Heng furrowed his brows in thought and nodded.

He waved his hand.

Li Hongxiu placed both hands in front of her lower abdomen.

She bowed slightly towards Su Heng and then quietly took her leave.

…

"It seems that a full-scale war is truly about to commence. I am curious to see what these ants will stir up.”

Su Heng snorted and stood up from the ground.

Although he had been in cultivation and experiencing inner demons this whole time, he felt no fatigue now that his retreat had ended. On the contrary, he felt unexpectedly light and in great condition.

Swoosh!

A flash of red light appeared.

A narrow crack opened in front of Su Heng.

Stepping into it, he found himself in a segregated breeding chamber within the Flesh Furnace.

Rows of items akin to pulsating insect eggs were arranged on the plain, overlooking from an elevated position, densely packed; the quantity of these “insect eggs” was no less than a thousand.

Bang!

As Su Heng’s thoughts moved.

On the plain, the foremost insect egg began to swell and then burst open.

The thick blood-red nourishment fluid flowed across the parched ground, as clumps of dark brown tendrils swiftly retracted.

An elder figure with grey hair and dark skin appeared, stumbled, and looked like he would fall forward without support.

But he quickly opened his eyes, and as his muscles exerted, he quickly regained his balance and stood firmly on the flesh-like base.

The elder first appeared confused, but upon seeing Su Heng, his pupils slightly contracted, as if his scattering consciousness had returned, a near-reverent sensation originated from his heart.

He knelt on the ground at once, placing one hand on his chest, saying, “My Lord!”

This elder.

Was none other than the Dragon Guards’ Deputy Commander, Zhao Zongwu.

"How do you feel?” Su Heng’s gaze briefly scanned him and then asked.

"Reporting, my Lord, better than ever before,” Zhao Zongwu responded.

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

Like setting off firecrackers, a constant cracking sound came forth.

On the plain, thousands of “insect eggs” exploded one after another, and giants similar in size to Zhao Zongwu walked out from them.

These were the Second Generation “Original Dragon Guards” created by Su Heng.

Since the power of the Dragon Guards originated from Dragon Blood, after merging with the Dragon Corpse and cultivating the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.

Su Heng could almost be regarded as their bloodline source. Coupled with the transformation and brainwashing during the breeding process, these ruthless and merciless war machines could virtually be seen as an extension of Su Heng’s will, utterly loyal to him, and always ready to slaughter all enemies for him.
