Although his body was charred, his hair and clothes all gone, his skin cracked and flesh burst open, exposing the crimson blood and continuously writhing organs beneath.

Yet, he was still alive, and his wounds were stubbornly healing, with new flesh constantly knitting together over the injuries.

"So that\'s how it is..."

Su Heng stared intently for a while, realization dawning on him.

It turned out that the gluttonous beast remained with Xu Hanlin. If according to the explanation from Skull Plain, this must be an extremely advanced form of "Imperial Control" cultivation. It was hard to imagine such a close bond between demon and human, dependent on each other in life and death.

"Since I came here today, I never planned to return alive!"

Xu Hanlin roared, his arms forcefully clapping together, "The vengeance for my mother, is irreconcilable!"

"Come again!"

His pupils completely turned into black vertical slits, and a profusion of feathers grew from his shoulders, arms, and chest, making a clanging sound. With a "crack," Xu Hanlin\'s hands and feet tightened simultaneously, his nails protruding outward, transforming into claws covered with dragon scales. Finally, surrounded by a violent wind, even Xu Hanlin\'s mouth mutated into a hard, metallic bird beak.

At this moment, Xu Hanlin had fully embraced the power of the Demon Country\'s Ruler, transforming into a half-human, half-demon monster. Relying solely on a powerful hatred to propel his body, he intended to completely bury Su Heng here.

Boom!

A red firelight burst forth from Xu Hanlin\'s palms.

It was the Divine Skill of the glutton, which swallowed and transformed Su Heng\'s previous red sun-seeking Secret Technique, then released it again. With a taste of his own medicine, the red beam swept across thousands of meters and exploded with a boom, turning into a giant pillar of flame that blotted out the sky.

Xu Hanlin flapped his wings, sweeping across the sky and diving towards the ground sharply.

Like a predatory falcon, he aimed for the vital points around Su Heng.

He had indeed done the best he could think of, hoping to break through the opponent\'s defense using Su Heng\'s own Secret Technique, and then take the opportunity to inflict the greatest damage with a powerful strike.

Xu Hanlin, not yet in his thirties, possessed strength and combat talent terrifying enough. Unlike ordinary prodigies like Cui Mingri and Li Lingxiu, who also had Heavenly Deceit Cultivation but barely survived a century, facing Xu Hanlin meant being severely injured or killed instantly.

If he hadn\'t encountered Su Heng.

Perhaps Xu Hanlin could truly have destroyed the Demon Suppression Tower and rescued his mother.

With the help of the glutton and his own formidable innate talent, within twenty years, Xu Hanlin could have stirred up storms and become a legendary fighter like the Eight-Armed Dragon King An Shelie. Not to mention conquering the world, dominating a region would have been no issue.

Unfortunately...

There were no ifs; he had met Su Heng.

A complete monster, a demon that defied all norms.

And inherently murderous, cruel and heartless. Even if Xu Hanlin elevated all the power and wisdom he had ever had to the pinnacle, what he got in return was only one outcome—

"That is, death! Hahaha!"

In the rising firelight, suddenly, a loud laugh echoed.

A gauntleted hand reached out, grabbed Xu Hanlin\'s left leg, swung it up, and smashed it down—with a bang, the ground exploded.

Xu Hanlin felt as if his body was about to fall apart, the tidal surge of stabbing pain nearly drowning him. The hand released, and before Xu Hanlin could even attempt to dodge, a massive foot with a shadow fiercely stomped down. His arms and legs broke at the same time, ribs piercing into his lungs, each breath accompanied by excruciating pain, blood seeping from his mouth and nose.

"You and your foolish mother are the same, ignorant, struggling uglily, which aside from giving me a bit of amusement, is meaningless."

The cold, heartless voice came through the wind, the power surging, turning into a vortex.

Xu Hanlin\'s shattered body was lifted into the air and then caught in Su Heng\'s hand, bones and muscles creaking ominously.

In the shadows.

The two monsters locked eyes, a cold smirk appearing on Su Heng\'s face, "No, your mother was still slightly stronger than you."

He made a pinching gesture with his other hand and then mockingly said, "At least, she tasted very good, with a lasting aftertaste. And you, you are nothing. A spineless cur that only barks wildly in my presence by borrowing the strength of others."

"Ah? Do you have anything else to say?"

Su Heng\'s voice suddenly softened.

"Actually, I didn\'t want to kill your mother. To me, a compliant demon is far more valuable than one turned into food. After the seal on the Demon Suppression Tower was lifted, she had the chance to become an elder of the Demon Suppression Bureau like Li Hongxiu, working under me."

Su Heng\'s cold voice was like a sharp knife, piercing through Xu Hanlin\'s chest, brutally stirring through the blood and broken bones. Every word inflicted far deeper wounds than the physical force from his hands.

The cold wind blew ceaselessly, stirring up the ground\'s broken stones and dust.

Under the gloomy sky, Su Heng suddenly sighed, "Actually, the one who truly killed your mother, the one who forced her to this step. It wasn\'t me, but you... don\'t you understand yet."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A moment of silence.

Xu Hanlin\'s tense body suddenly relaxed.
