Chapter 216: Overbearing!
"So you turned to the Demonic Dao and started eating people?" Ding Rou said coldly, her voice like ice. Her beautiful face was covered in a frosty chill.
Zhu Fugui’s eyes gleamed with a hint of madness as he sneered, "That’s right! Don’t think you’re the only ones blessed by destiny, I had my own immortal fortune too! I obtained a jade slip that revealed the secret to immortality. And that secret... is eating people!"
Zhu Fugui burst into unrestrained laughter.
"With every person I eat, I gain more strength. The jade slip described the methods in great detail. I only consumed half the bodies of five people, and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds! What faster method of cultivation could there possibly be!?"
Li Yanchu’s gaze turned icy. "If we let you walk free, you’ll become a monstrous demon wreaking havoc wherever you go!"
Zhu Fugui replied calmly, "Though we haven’t interacted for long, I’ve already gotten a decent grasp of your character, Daoist Master. If I truly become a demon, there's no way you'd let me live."
At this point, Zhu Fugui paused for a moment, then continued, "That’s why... unless you die, I’ll never have peace of mind!"
The moment his words fell, a dense wave of demonic qi surged from his body! His skin began to split and crack, peeling off layer by layer. A massive, hideous wild boar’s head tore through the human face and emerged in full view.
He looked utterly grotesque and ferocious! Sharp, thick tusks jutted from his mouth. And on his back were bristle-like quills, which were hard as steel.
"Daoist Master, prepare to die!"
This monster, once enlightened by a great monk and known for keeping the precepts in his cultivation, had ultimately chosen the wicked path of devouring humans in pursuit of immortality. It was a lamentable fall.
Zhu Fugui suddenly stomped the ground. A deep fissure instantly split open beneath their feet, threatening to swallow both Li Yanchu and Ding Rou whole!
