Name: Phantom Object·Masked Rider System

Elements: [Hero], [Tool], [Purification], [The Enemy and I Share the Same Origin]

Overview: The Masked Rider’s unique plugin system can be drawn out at any time, anywhere, with a motion of reaching behind one’s back. It can collect energy that has [Commonality] with the rider himself and transform it into a transformation plugin (due to related legends, the current plugin type is a Squeezing Bottle), but during the collection process, the target must be in a state of no resistance. This transformation plugin can provide blessings to weapons, mounts, and transformation devices, attaching special effects depending on the type.

Note: Now, I have seized the future in my hands!

At first glance, the three Phantom Objects might be considered nothing more than ordinary, or even inferior to many Fine Level phantom objects, but it was only after Feng Xue actually used them that he realized how many mysteries were hidden beneath their modest descriptions.

Although the overall amplification from the belt’s transformation was just standard, it held the advantage of having no time limit; as long as Feng Xue had the stamina, he could stay transformed all year without issue. The only problem was that the device was less durable than a 22nd-century children’s toy, but its ability to stack additional transformations was a definite advantage.

The Masked Rider System, on the other hand, gave Feng Xue a great surprise. Not only could the bottles it produced be directly used with the All Things Squeezing Driver, but it also had a [Purification] effect. This meant that Feng Xue could directly create a [Magic Bottle], and then transform into "Masked Rider Evil Rider."

Furthermore, after numerous experiments, it was confirmed that Phantom Objects would not be tainted, which led to his decision to enter Qing Province.

After all, the Masked Rider armor was full body armor, and as long as the armor wasn’t eroded, the person inside would not be affected.

...

Perhaps there were far more demon people in Qing Province than expected, or maybe it was the roar of Zhang Yang’s engine that drew attention. Within less than half an hour of Feng Xue’s entry into Qing Province, he noticed quite a few gazes.

Feng Xue didn’t stop there, but instead continued to twist the throttle, frantically speeding on for several more kilometers until those scrutinizing eyes grew considerably dense. Only then did he finally come to a stop.

Almost at the same moment as the motorcycle stopped, numerous figures emerged from all kinds of inconceivable places: demon people in the trees, demon people in the water, demon people in the grass, and even demon people within the stones.

"Gu cultivators, poison cultivators, demon cultivators..." Feng Xue’s gaze swept over each member of the Demon Sect, quickly making assessments. Finally, when a man with faint purple spots at the bottom of his eyes appeared, Feng Xue finally curled up the corners of his mouth.

"Are you the famous Iron Cloth that’s been making rounds?"

The malevolent cultivator looked down at Feng Xue, who was concealed within the Orca Armor (adorned with a skin using the Orca Authority for basic inner power form), with a commanding gaze and issued an inquisitive challenge. Feng Xue showed no intent to speak and instead reached for the Disassembly Holy Mother slung around his waist.

"First Sword!"

Feng Xue transformed into a streak of cold light, and the two nearest Gu cultivators, who were spreading Gu eggs, had their throats immediately slashed. It seemed that these Demon Sect members hadn’t expected Feng Xue to strike back despite being surrounded by so many, and they were momentarily thrown into disarray.

But this only lasted for less than a second before the demon people from the Demon Sect regained their combat stances, unleashing a barrage of divine skills upon Feng Xue. Meanwhile, the sharp edge of his blade had claimed several more souls.

Although the basic form transformation of the Masked Rider offered only average defense, the enhancements it provided to the body were no less significant than those of the All Things Squeezing Driver. This was probably because the All Things Squeezing Driver itself was based on the original model of his Masked Rider Kaidan.

The genuine Masked Rider transformation had one advantage that no toy could ever match—it was internally equipped with a real "Masked Rider System."

A multitude of information was integrated and then transformed into simple and direct signals that appeared before Feng Xue, allowing him precise control over attacks that came from behind. That sensation, though not as dominant in preempting long-range attacks as the Arrow Avoidance Protection, still significantly reduced the pressure he faced when dealing with multiple assailants.

With a flick of the short blade in his hand, two more heads flew into the air. Even without using the Feminization Filter to buff the Disassembly Holy Mother, Feng Xue dispatched the encroaching Demon Sect members like chopping vegetables, relying solely on his swordsmanship and physical fitness.

"I want to see how long you can last!"

The evil cultivator standing in the crowd suddenly pointed a finger towards the sky, releasing a ghastly power that shot out from his fingertip. A high-frequency vibration beyond human hearing spread, prompting nearby evil cultivators to begin converging towards the area rapidly.

Yet Feng Xue seemed entirely oblivious to this, reaping the lives of these demon people like a tiger among sheep. Wisps of Demonic Qi evaporated from their corpses, amalgamated, and then infiltrated the bodies of others. At that moment, the battlefield resembled a breeding ground for Gu - with each fallen demon person, the Demonic Qi in the survivors intensified.

Occasionally, some demon people couldn’t withstand the surge of Demonic Qi and transformed into something akin to infected members of the Righteous Path, such as Gu nests, demon beasts, or poison corpses. However, Feng Xue treated all equally, and within a few exchanges, a large number of corpses lay scattered across the ground.

The color of the evil cultivator outside the crowd began to shift subtly, as he noticed that the killing intent on Feng Xue was growing stronger.

His ferocious and terrifying aura rose like a blood column reaching to the heavens, and yet his movements became even more straightforward and efficient.

"Do you know why I entered Qing Province?" Although every demon person had grown far stronger than when they initially engaged, Feng Xue’s slaughter became even more fluid. By this point, he didn’t even need to focus on the smooth flow of his breathing and could afford to engage in idle chit-chat.

However, this situation didn’t seem to pressurize the evil cultivator, who instead retorted with a taunt,

"Oh, why is that? To seek death?"

"No," Feng Xue kicked away a poison cultivator beside him, unleashing a somewhat spine-chilling laugh—

"Because elsewhere, it wouldn’t be suitable to cultivate this ’Poison Dragon,’ would it?"
