Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 464: The Demonized Butcher

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The Demonized Butcher

"If I say you can’t run, you can’t run," muttered Lu Xiao, swinging his sword under the umbrella.

Under the red glow, the sword light flashed by, and Luo Yongjuan’s feet were chopped off neatly.

Luo Yongjuan’s body slammed onto the ground.

As for Lu Xiao, he was unhurried, squatting down to pick up the snapped iron chain and dragging Luo Yongjuan towards the house.

As she felt herself getting closer to the doorway, a burst of red light erupted from Luo Yongjuan again.

The iron chains binding her immediately became overburdened, emitting an unpleasant twang.

"I’ve calculated it, you won’t make it," Lu Xiao looked back and smirked, then gave a fierce tug.

Luo Yongjuan’s entire body was pulled flying towards the door.

Midair, the iron chains around Luo Yongjuan began to snap, clanging as they fell.

But just as Lu Xiao had said, she was too late.

Even though she had shattered all the iron chains by the time she fell through the doorway, it was still a step too slow.

"Hiss..." A sound akin to searing came from Luo Yongjuan’s body, her skin visibly reddening as if about to burst.

Luo Yongjuan reacted quickly, scrambling with her arms to rush out.

No sooner had she crawled halfway over the threshold than Lu Xiao’s foot came crashing down on her calf.

Luo Yongjuan’s body twisted abruptly, her waist almost folding, as her hands launched a fierce attack towards Lu Xiao’s legs.

"I still have one more leg, Aunt Han Yi."

Having said that, Lu Xiao’s other leg whipped out like lightning, hitting Luo Yongjuan square in the face.

Luo Yongjuan’s upper body was once again kicked out of the threshold.

Meanwhile, beneath Lu Xiao’s feet, Luo Yongjuan’s legs began to disintegrate.

Like carbonization, they cracked and crumbled, with red light looming beneath the fissures.

"What an interesting place," Lu Xiao mused as he felt the superpower bursting forth from Luo Yongjuan’s legs.

Before her demon possession, Luo Yongjuan cultivated Inner Qi, which seemed to disappear afterward, replaced by red superpower.

However, it seemed that once this reddish superpower was isolated from the red light emitted by Red Eyes, it would burst forth from the body of the demonized.

"The key is, why am I unaffected?" Lu Xiao muttered again to himself.

Just yesterday he absorbed the red superpower from outside, and so far, everything was normal.

"Forget it, no point dwelling on these things."

Lu Xiao knew that with his current strength, he was not yet capable of understanding these phenomena.

Let alone exploring the truth and essence.

Better to focus on the present.

Soon, Luo Yongjuan’s legs completely disintegrated, and the escaping red superpower meandered like streams, clinging to the ground.

Lu Xiao extended a finger and touched it lightly.

Then, the red superpower crazily burrowed into Lu Xiao’s body.

His meridians, instantly filled to the brim.

Of course, what surprised Lu Xiao even more was that this red superpower seemed to have been stripped of its side effects.

"Thanks for the little gift, Aunt Han Yi," Lu Xiao sincerely thanked the barely alive Luo Yongjuan on the ground.

"Of course, it’s not just Aunt Han Yi I should thank, but every demonized person in these woods,"

"This is nature’s bounty!"

To Lu Xiao, all the demonized in the woods were valuable doses of untainted superpower.

No need to kill them; just capture them, place their hands inside the house, wait for the red superpower to reveal itself, and absorb it directly.

After the superpower was absorbed, it didn’t seem like the demonized would die, as evident from Luo Yongjuan.

Once the red superpower dissipated from their bodies, their strength plummeted, but there were no other effects.

The reason Luo Yongjuan was half-dead was due to the excessive blood loss from her exploded legs.

"Aunt Han Yi, I hope we meet again." After helping Luo Yongjuan stop the bleeding on her thigh, Lu Xiao closed the door and began refining his meridians with superpower.

...

After a night passed and daylight broke, Lu Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

Three-quarters!

Only the last quarter remained before his meridians could be fully converted to energy.

It depended on whether or not he could produce a Mutated Crystal by then.

If it happened, it would mean that his new path was thoroughly successful.

If not, it was still a considerable gain, for energy-converted meridians have a vast capacity.

"Click!" Lu Xiao stood up and opened the door.

Outside, there was nothing but bloodstains.

"You do not disappoint, Aunt Han Yi!" Lu Xiao arched his eyebrows.

Perhaps, in a few days, Luo Yongjuan would again bring him some surprises and gifts.

He had a hunch that perhaps since Red Eyes could control the demonized, these beings were effectively vessels.

If they were vessels, then naturally, once their energy slots emptied, they could be refilled.

...

After freshening up a bit, Lu Xiao returned to the Inner City.

Before reaching Mansion Luo, he saw many people on the street with luggage, in a hurry.

"Brother, what’s with the rush?" Lu Xiao grabbed someone to ask.

The middle-aged man looked around and then whispered, "Young man, I advise you to leave Xu Hai City as soon as possible. Last night, the demonized went on a killing spree."

Lu Xiao’s eyes narrowed — a massacre?

Impossible!

The demonized would disintegrate quickly once they were out of the red light’s exposure.

Theoretically, as long as one hid from them, the demonized could do nothing.

It might be possible for them to manage to kill one or two people by chance, but a massacre... how did they do it?
