"Metallization ability?"
Fang Ping stared at the tall man who was unscathed despite being besieged by the blue blades. Sparks were flying everywhere.
Facing the tall man whose body was now metallized and whose defense was terrifyingly enhanced, the Zanpakuto was completely restrained.
"You want to kill me with such a weak attack?"
With a punch, the blue blades were blown away. The tall man sneered and pounced on Xiang Fangping.
The other party was able to find his location through hacking and quickly came, which was beyond his expectations. However, the other party did not invite a Morning Star powerhouse, which was an absolute mistake. With the other party's strength, it was impossible to kill him.
Peng, peng, peng!
The blue blades attacked the tall man, preventing him from approaching Fang Ping, but they were all blown away by the tall man.
Even if they were not blown away, they hit the tall man. There was no pain, only sparks.
The tall man was not only strengthened in defense, but also in destructive power.
Woo!
The tall man approached Fang Ping and hammered Xiang Fangping with his silver fist. The air exploded, creating clear ripples.
At this moment, all the blue blades suddenly disappeared, and a huge golden flame monster appeared, clawing at the tall man.
The golden flame monster was more than six meters long. It looked like a cat, but it had two tails and the claws on its two front feet were extremely sharp.
This was one of the battle forms of the mutated Flame-Flame Fruit ability, Flame-Nekomata.
Boom!
The silver fist collided with the golden flame claws. With the collision as the center, a terrifying shockwave spread.
Hit by the shockwave, the Flame-Nekomata and the tall man could not help but retreat.
"Impossible!"
The tall man looked at his fist that collided with the golden flame claws in shock. The surface of his fist was obviously melting. His metallization defense could not block this flame.
"How is this possible?
The power of this flame is obviously not at the Morning Star level. How can it melt my body? "
His metallization ability was a kind of metal that his body would turn into whatever metal he swallowed. His strength and speed would also be greatly enhanced.
Of course, with his current realm, he could not swallow any metal and turn his body into metal.
Right now, he could only devour metals that could be used to make normal enchanted weapons. The silver metal he had swallowed before was this kind of metal.
However, even a metal of this grade had an extremely strong defence. Its defence was more than ten times that of ordinary steel, and it would be extremely difficult to destroy it without the strength of a Morning Star.
"It seems that the ability to restrain demons is also effective against demons."
Fang Ping was deep in thought.
The tall man could not understand how Fang Ping was able to melt his metallic body even though he had not reached the Morning Star realm. However, Fang Ping understood.
For such a situation to occur, it must be because the current mutant Flaming Flame Fruit had fused with the Pure Yang Flame and gained the ability to restrain monsters. This ability was also effective against monsters.
Whoosh!
The flaming cat pounced on the tall man again, its flaming claws swiping at the tall man again. The tall man didn't dare to take it head-on, so he dodged to the side, avoiding the flaming claws.
However, even though he managed to dodge the flaming claws, he wasn't able to dodge the flaming cat's subsequent attacks.
A thick flaming tail attacked him, and he was immediately sent flying.
The places on his body that had been hit by the tail of flames started to melt again.
"What's going on?
Could it be that this flame ability is extremely effective against metal? "
The tall man climbed up pathetically, and a large number of shadows spread out from his feet, attacking the flaming cat.
Bang!
In response, the flaming cat merely swiped its claws, and all the shadows melted under the flames. It then bit at the tall man.
The tall man raised his right hand to block.
Ka-cha!
His right hand was bitten by the cat, and the hard silver metal started to melt. The shape of his entire right hand started to change.
"Ah!"
The tall man screamed in pain, and struggled to withdraw his right hand. A large number of shadows appeared, temporarily blocking the flaming cat and increasing the distance between them.
Although his body had turned into metal, the pain didn't disappear. The shape of his right hand had changed, and one could imagine the intense pain he was in.
Whoosh!
The flaming cat spat out another ball of flames, burning all the shadows to ashes, and pounced again.
Its huge body flew up, and the tall man couldn't dodge in time. He was pushed to the ground, and was in danger.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, tall men appeared one after another. The tall man used his doppelganger ability again.
The tall man who was pushed to the ground by the flaming cat quickly melted under the golden flames, and disappeared into smoke.
After being replaced with a clone, his defense was strengthened, but it wasn't as good as the original.
"This ability is much stronger than the Shadow Clone ability."
Looking at the tall men appearing one after another, Fang Ping frowned.
Not only did it not weaken the original's strength, but it could also swap places with the original. This ability was the improved version of the Shadow Clone ability.
"Fortunately, this is a sealed space!"
With a wave of his hand, the flaming cat disappeared, and Fang Ping's body burned with golden flames.
Then, the golden flames spiraled out from his body and spread to the surroundings.
In the sealed space, the area covered by the golden flames was rapidly increasing, and the area not covered by the flames was rapidly shrinking.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the entire space was filled with golden flames.
"Not good!"
Sensing that something was wrong, the ten tall men rushed at Xiang Fangping from all directions, wanting to stop Fang Ping.
However, the mutant flaming fruit's ability was too strong for the tall men. Under this flame, even if the tall men had 100% of their strength, they could only use 70% of it.
One clone after another was melted under the golden flames, and disappeared into smoke.
Only his main body was able to withstand the golden flames, but it was obvious that his injuries were worsening.
Boom!
The tall man resisted the golden flames, and although his body was melted beyond recognition, as if he had been splashed with sulfuric acid, he finally got close to Fang Ping.
It was useless to hide in a sealed space. If he wanted to live, he had to kill Fang Ping before he was burned to death by the flames.
He leaped high, and his fist, which was obviously melted, was like a heavy cannon that could shatter a mountain, and blasted at Xiang Fangping.
Puchi!
Fang Ping was blown to pieces by his punch, but his face was filled with despair.
Like him, Fang Ping could also turn into an element and was immune to physical attacks.
Before he could use his shadow to attack Xiang Fangping, Fang Ping's right hand had already turned into a huge flaming fist and punched him.
His entire body was sent flying.
At this time, the entire space inside the door was covered by golden flames.
Even if he could move between his clones, he could not avoid being injured, because all his clones, once they appeared, would immediately be enveloped by the golden flames.
"Ah …"
Miserable screams rang out, and the tall man kept rolling and screaming under the flames.
"Tell me the secret base of the demon race, and I'll spare your life!"
Looking coldly at the tall man who was rolling and screaming, Fang Ping said.
"In your dreams, just wait, someone will come to kill you!"
The tall man sneered.
Even though he was burned beyond recognition by the flames, he was still extremely stubborn and did not tell him the secret base of the demon race in exchange for a chance to live.
Suddenly, he took the initiative to remove the metallization on his body, and his unprotected flesh and blood was exposed to the golden flames.
Flames ignited on his body, and the heavily injured and dying man was burnt to death in an instant.
His body turned into a huge demon, but the golden numbers could no longer be seen, because there was not a single part of his body that was intact.
"How decisive!"
Looking at the tall man's corpse that had turned into a demon, Fang Ping frowned.
Knowing that there was no chance of winning and no way to escape, the other party had made a prompt decision to seek death, and even he could not stop him in time.
The other party obviously did not want to expose the secret base of the demon race because of him being captured.
After all, there were many abilities that could make people reveal their secrets.
After putting the other party's corpse into the sacrificial space, Fang Ping used the Flying Thunder God technique and quickly disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, the awakened ones in Yu Yang base city did not know that a battle between peak rank 5 and the Morning Star level had taken place in this base city.
When Fang Ping appeared again, he was already at his residence in the Demon Countermeasure Department of Yinchuan base city.
"This demon's strength is above Li Pengling's."
Leaning on the sofa, Fang Ping, who had used up a lot of his strength, panted heavily.
This victory was not easy. The tall man was definitely not weak. Among rank 5, his battle strength was only slightly weaker than those at the Morning Star level, and even above Li Pengling.
The reason why he was killed was because he had the advantage of a sneak attack. He had locked the other party in the sealed space within the door, leaving him no way to escape.
On the other hand, the mutated Flame-Flame Fruit that had fused with the pure Yang flames had a restraining effect on demons, and had unknowingly weakened the other party's strength.
If not for these two advantages, he would not have been able to kill the other party. He was afraid that he would have to use the Flying Thunder God technique to bring Lu Yu here.
"Although we have killed this Devil Cultivator, Lu Yu's identity will probably be exposed very soon."
Fang Ping felt a sense of urgency.
He had indeed killed this demon and prevented Lu Yu's identity from being exposed, thus preventing the "enslavement of the demon race" from being exposed. However, this news could not be hidden forever.
The tall man was not the only one in charge of the investigation. In Hean Base City, there should be demon race or demon race's minions who had sneaked in and were investigating him and Lu Yu.
In Hean Base City, there were many Awakened ones who knew about Lu Yu's identity. Although the Demon Countermeasure Department had issued a confidentiality order and would not disclose it to others, as long as he used some means, he would definitely be able to find out.
Even if he killed the person who inquired about the information, they would still send someone else, and the person who came at that time would not be someone he could deal with.
Unless he killed all the Awakened ones who had seen Lu Yu, he would not be able to prevent Lu Yu's identity from being exposed. And it was impossible for him to do so.
With the pride of the demon race, if they knew that he had enslaved the demon race and had the means to enslave them, they would definitely not let it go. They would definitely treat him as a key hunting target.
