Chapter 183 Demonized Person
Seeing this, Zhu Bufan was very curious. Why is there Demonic Qi leaking from this tomb? Could there be an unparalleled old monster inside? If that's really the case, once this old monster emerges, that would be the end of it. Considering how powerful those people transformed by the Demonic Qi are, if the old monster were to come into the world, wouldn't it defy the heavens?
At this moment, Zhu Bufan was shocked.
However, at this time, a fierce battle could be distinctly heard.
Hearing the sounds of combat, Zhu Bufan's brows instantly furrowed.
Therefore, the next moment, Zhu Bufan approached the direction of the fighting sounds.
As he moved closer, Zhu Bufan then saw.
A servant was fiercely fighting with a figure shrouded in a black robe, his face unseen.
By this time, the surroundings of the two fighters were crowded with people. Some were holding submachine guns, others were unarmed, forming a circle around them, perhaps afraid that the servant would escape. Maybe they were planning to pick off a dead rat.
Among these surrounding people, Zhu Bufan saw Black Tiger, a familiar figure he had seen yesterday.
Black Tiger stood with his arms crossed, his disdainful eyes fixed intently on the servant. He believed the robed figure to be incredibly powerful, admiring him from time to time.
Zhu Bufan was surprised to discover that the black-robed person was fighting on equal footing with the servant.
"Damn, how did this world suddenly produce so many strong people!" Zhu Bufan glanced at the fight between the two and instantly felt that if he were to spar with either one of them, he certainly wouldn't last five moves, he would be swiftly defeated, and the defeat would be disastrous.
"Black-robed one, stop now! If the people from the Anping Team discover what's going on here, I can say that within less than an hour, you all will be annihilated!" The servant spoke as he deflected a palm strike from the black-robed person.
"Traitor, have you not thought about who gave you all your skills? When you left the organization and fled to Hua Country, if the organization wasn't wary of the Anping Team, do you think you could have survived until today? Today I, Black Robe, have run into you by chance, so I will take you, the traitor, on behalf of the organization! Whether the Anping Team comes here or not is no longer important because our mission here is about to be complete," the black-robed person shouted loudly.
"Black Robe, you are stubbornly ignorant. What organization is that? They are all a bunch of demons. Look at these Demonized people; they've become neither human nor ghost. Look at your face and mine; what have they become? If we hadn't been Demonized, would our faces look like this now? Do you need to wear a black robe all day and me a mask?" the servant sighed in saying.
"Enough talk, I seek greater strength, what does appearance matter? Only when one is strong can they have everything they desire. Since you've betrayed the organization, you should die, watch out!" Black Robe scolded.
After hearing the dialogue between the two, Zhu Bufan was startled. He had not expected that the servant was also a Demonized person.
What Zhu Bufan found even more unexpected was that Demonized people could have side effects as they aged.
All of this was beyond Zhu Bufan's expectations.
From their conversation, Zhu Bufan learned about an organization called the 'Anping Team'. But what kind of organization is this? Zhu Bufan had never heard of it. Listening to the dialogue between the two, it seems that the Anping Team is very powerful, indeed mighty.
The Anping Team is the most secretive protection organization in Hua Country, and its full name is the "Security and Peace Maintenance Group."
It takes direct orders from Hua Country's top leader, and only the top leader has full control over their whereabouts. The members of this organization are divided into two parts: external members and internal members, and they all come from all over the country.
Every external member has been secretly handpicked and then secretly trained, passing through a variety of tests to become an external member of this organization.
Internal members are selected and promoted from these external members. The requirements for internal members are not only strong strength but also extreme loyalty to the country, as well as facing various life-and-death challenges, surviving them to become internal members.
According to rumors, this organization currently has only ten members, and combined, they possess the might to annihilate ten armies—meaning each member has the ability to defeat an army by themselves.
You can imagine just how formidable they are.
There are slightly more external members, though not many, about three hundred or so.
Inferior to this organization, and operating overtly, are the Sky Dragon Team and the Divine Dragon Group.
The strength of the Demonized Organization is also extremely formidable; it targets infiltration globally. Not just Hua Country, but all countries, it can be said that every country has individuals who have been demonized by them.
They use the Death Burial Demon Energy to alter a person's constitution and then administer a Demonized Potion developed by their organization to transform the human body, granting it a sudden increase in formidable strength. Moreover, they will specially teach you the Demonization Ten Forms.
In that battle, Zhu Bufan faced off with Black Tiger, who only used three moves: Demonized Rush, Demonized Fist, and Demonized Double Strike. Clearly, Black Tiger had not yet fully gained the trust of the Demonized Organization; otherwise, when Dongfang Weimei appeared, it would not have been Black Tiger fleeing, but Dongfang Weimei and Zhu Bufan instead.
You can imagine just how powerful the Demonization Ten Forms must be. Even the man in the black robe and Anu have not learned all ten forms. They only know six, but even with just these six, their strength is already heaven-defying, and they can walk unchallenged.
While Zhu Bufan was in a daze, he saw the man in the black robe and Anu each take a hit, one a palm strike and the other a punch. Then, taking advantage of the force from the strike that the man in the black robe had aimed at himself, Anu instantly leaped out of the encirclement and in an instant moved next to Zhu Bufan. Before Zhu Bufan could react, Anu had picked him up and vanished from the Demonized Base.
"Don't chase!" the man in the black robe said loudly, waving his hands.
The subordinates, who were preparing to pursue Anu and Zhu Bufan, stopped in their tracks and said in unison, "Yes, Elder Black!"
After everyone had left, the man in the black robe spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"I didn't expect his martial arts to have advanced so much over the years!" The man in the black robe said softly as he looked towards the direction where Anu and Zhu Bufan had disappeared.
At this moment, Anu, carrying Zhu Bufan on his shoulder, had already reached the foot of Iron Coffin Mountain. As he steadied his figure and let go of Zhu Bufan, he could no longer suppress the discomfort in his chest and also spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
"Uncle Anu, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Bufan was shocked, not expecting Anu to be injured.
"Little Zhu, I am fine!" Anu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with effort. Having already been injured by the man in the black robe's palm strike, and now forcibly exerting himself to carry Zhu Bufan over a long distance, even a master like Anu couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood from the exertion.
After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Anu felt slightly better. After catching his breath, Anu said, "Little Zhu, Uncle Anu has a favor to ask of you!"
"Uncle Anu, just give your orders. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to accomplish it!" Zhu Bufan responded, supporting Anu.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to do anything. I just want you to forget what you heard today," Anu gestured with his hand, indicating that Zhu Bufan need not support him.
"What about the skeleton?" Zhu Bufan did not directly respond to Anu's words but instead asked. By saying this, he believed that Anu would know that he would not speak of what he heard this night.
"The skeleton must be obtained, but we can't force it. You've seen the situation on the mountain. It's probably very difficult to achieve with just the two of us," Anu said.
"I know, but then, what should we do?"
