...Due to Tang Miao's change in aura, the Skyhawk beneath his feet fearfully landed on the ground. After hearing a roar, it trembled, its wings shaking, and it lay there, not daring to move.
Jiang Yi, on the other hand, stared at the transformed Tang Miao. At this moment, a tiger-like facial pattern with streaks of fresh blood appeared on him. His entire facial bone structure protruded, becoming Stereo, combining a human face with a tiger's in a sinister way!
His pupils were completely different from a human's, and his pale hair, which reached his ankles, was inverted, exuding an intense demonic aura.
His bare feet had somehow stepped onto the ground, leaving shattered and frozen footprints. Everywhere he trod seemed to turn into an ice cellar!
Countless chains and shackles of lightning surged chaotically around his body. They seemed like restraints, yet they were a destructive domain that could annihilate everything!
His body also instantly grew, and at the same time, the figure of an Ice and Snow Goddess appeared behind him!
Jiang Yi stared blankly at the powerful Tang Miao, momentarily speechless. Meanwhile, the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, which had just slaughtered several military mages, was now trembling with fear... It seemed to have encountered an absolute suppression and, without thinking, turned and flew away.
Demon beasts of the Commander-level possess extremely high intelligence! And their perception is also very strong.
Tang Miao did not pursue it. Instead, after the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon left, he slowly reverted to his human form under Jiang Yi's stunned gaze.
Jiang Yi couldn't believe it. This was the only time in a demon experiment that a demonized mage could return to normal?
She couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that this experiment failed?!"
But she had indeed felt Tang Miao's power just now. In fact, the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon might have been no match for Tang Miao... Yet, the world-destroying feeling from a moment ago suddenly disappeared?
Moreover, he had transformed back into human form on his own?
Tang Miao ignored the stunned Jiang Yi and curiously peered into his spiritual space.
He saw that his previously depleted ice magic, as well as the consumed summoning and lightning magic, had all been replenished. Furthermore, he, who originally only had four star clouds, now had five!
The newly appeared magic element glowed with an eerie crimson, mixed with mysterious violet, blended with strange moonlight, and smeared with bizarre black light... Ultimately, if one had to describe its color, it would be blood-ink!
Tang Miao wondered, "Is this the Demonic element?"
Although he felt that as long as he used the Blood Seed, he would definitely awaken the Demonic element, he never thought it would happen until after he reached the High-tier.
But unexpectedly, after using the Blood Seed, the Demonic element directly appeared in his magic elements!?
Although it was very strange, when he suppressed the demonic power with his mental strength, it was real; he had transformed back!
However, the power of this Demonic element, having been used for just that short moment, completely exhausted all the remnant souls in the Qilin Jade. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough, otherwise, he might not have been able to revert to his original form.
Moreover, Tang Miao could clearly feel that besides consuming some remnant souls, he had not suffered any other harm. On the contrary, his physical constitution had improved significantly due to the appearance of the Demonic element.
"Tang Miao..."
As he pondered, Jiang Yi lightly called out to him, her voice filled with doubt.
Tang Miao snapped back to reality and couldn't be bothered to think too much. Anyway, he hadn't died,
and he had inexplicably gained a Demonic element, which was already quite good.
Looking at Jiang Yi, a hint of killing intent flashed in Tang Miao's eyes. Then, he used spatial magic to push Jiang Yi away, and at the same time, a bolt of lightning struck!
"Boom!"
The lightning descended, directly striking Jiang Yi's body. It was a sudden and unexpected bolt that gave Jiang Yi no time to react, and she was instantly killed in mid-air.
Looking at the now lifeless Jiang Yi, Tang Miao sighed softly and muttered, "Although I'm very grateful to you, I'm sorry."
Jiang Yi's fate had been sealed the moment she and Lu Nian stepped foot here.
The reason Tang Miao wanted to deal with her early was simply because she knew things she shouldn't have.
Tang Miao's trump card had been completely exposed during the challenge match at Mingzhu Academy back then.
Now that he had unexpectedly gained the Demonic element, it was naturally better if no one knew about it.
It might even be a life-saving trump card in the future!
...After killing Jiang Yi and taking her outer garment, Tang Miao put it on and headed towards the outskirts of Jinlin City.
If he wasn't mistaken, that madman Lu Nian should be arriving soon!
As for the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon?
Although Tang Miao's power had increased significantly after demonization, a Commander-level demon beast with a high-grade bloodline wasn't that easy to kill.
Since his power was controllable, he naturally didn't need to waste time on it. This was also why the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon suddenly fled, and why he didn't relentlessly pursue it... At this moment, Lu Zhengho and the others, who had just exited Jinlin City, encountered Lu Nian and his group who were rushing over.
They wore uniform outfits, similar in style to the military mages but vastly different in color. There were over ten of them, and each person had a snow-white giant eagle beside them. The giant eagles had full chests, sharp eyes, and their wings hung almost to the ground. If they were to spread them out, they would probably span two meters!
"Military mages?? Is it Lu Zhengho's elder brother coming to rescue us?" Seeing the military mages actually appear, Zhao Mingyue and Jingjing, who had just woken up and were sitting on Mo Fan's summoned wolf, immediately became excited.
The two of them had only heard a rough outline when they woke up on the way, knowing only that Lu Zhengho's brother was coming to save them. As for other matters, they were not clear.
Zhao Manyan, beside Mo Fan, looked at the military mages and wondered, "Their uniforms seem a bit different..."
The leader was a man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, smoking a pipe. At this moment, Lu Zhengho said, "Brother, it's bad... There's a Commander-level demon beast in this city, Tang Miao..."
Lu Zhengho explained the whole situation. Lu Nian paused, his eyes, beneath his thick eyebrows, swept over Lu Zhengho and said, "Before you arrived, I had already sent my subordinates here. That kid should be fine."
In truth, Lu Nian wasn't entirely sure. After all, if it really was the Giant Lizard Pseudodragon, even he might not be able to handle it. Many Intermediate-tier mages would likely be dead...
