Those eyes that were once as beautiful as stars were now filled with a dull and frenzied killing intent. Crimson bloodshot eyes were all over them, and the entire face was pale, swollen, and bluish-white like that of a corpse. Just moments ago, it was a delicate and charming beauty, but in an instant, it had transformed into such a terrifying appearance. Lin Yu frowned slightly. It wasn't out of fear but rather a heartache like seeing a flower wither.

  "Crack, crack, crack," the sound of bones breaking echoed. At the top of Su Yao's head, the skull slowly lifted, and the head of a bird similar to a crow but with only one eye emerged. "Caw, caw, caw," the cry of the monster, like that of a crow, reverberated in the room as if mocking Lin Yu's powerlessness.

  "You wanted to know how I possessed this girl's body, right? Now I'll tell you. If you have the ability, come and save her! Caw, caw, caw." Looking at the grayish-white brain matter of Su Yao stained on the black "crow", Lin Yu felt a rush of blood and a surge of anger.

  "Damn you!" Lin Yu couldn't help but swear. Although swearing in Chinese was not elegant, at this moment, it was an outlet for his emotions. With a sudden burst of strength in his left hand, he threw the dining table in front of him at the "crow". In the howling wind, it carried his anger. Due to using too much force, the wound in Lin Yu's chest and abdomen burst open instantly, and blood seeped out.

  However, this fierce blow was blocked by "Su Yao" with her right hand. At this moment, the muscles and tendons in her right hand swelled, becoming more than a circle larger. Relying on this unrestrained burst of power, she easily shattered the dining table that carried a huge impact force.

  "Hehe, take it easy. I really want this body of yours. You can use it for now, but don't break it for me. What a perfect body! It's clearly human, yet it can unleash more power than I can, and it can even defeat that powerful 'humanoid demon'. But you're almost at your limit, aren't you? If you burst out a few more times, you'll faint even without my doing anything," the "crow" provoked Lin Yu with its words while controlling Su Yao's body and nimbly dodging Lin Yu's attacks. With Lin Yu's body as the target, it obviously no longer cared about Su Yao's body and unreservedly stimulated the potential of Su Yao's body. Su Yao's limbs quickly swelled, demonstrating astonishing strength and agility, and bringing the power of the human body to the extreme.

  Under normal circumstances, humans probably only use about ten percent of their muscle groups, and most of the rest are in a dormant state. Once all muscle groups are forcibly stimulated, it can bring about powerful strength and agility, but the terrifying side effect that follows is death.

  The "crow" obviously didn't care about this. After several dodges, it seemed to have grown tired of the game. Suddenly, it leaped behind Lin Yu at an extremely fast speed, pushed off the wall for leverage, and pounced towards Lin Yu on the bed like a black bolt of lightning.

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  This power and speed had squeezed Su Yao's body to the limit. Her muscles all over her body seemed to "melt" due to the massive consumption of energy. Without Lin Yu's intervention, in a few minutes, Su Yao's body would completely turn into a skeleton due to being unable to bear such a load.

  With his current physical state, Lin Yu simply couldn't react to such a powerful attack. But it didn't mean he had no way out. Just as Lin Yu was about to be attacked, the large iron gourd in the bedroom suddenly emitted a strong spiritual power fluctuation, and the talismans all over the gourd burned up instantly. In an instant, a powerful and chilling spiritual energy filled the entire room.

  In the blink of an eye, at the moment when Lin Yu was attacked from behind, a large amount of silver-gray iron sand spewed out from the mouth of the iron gourd. Just before the sharp claws of "Su Yao" reached Lin Yu, it forcefully blocked the way between the two. "Bang!" There was a dull sound, as if hitting an iron shield. Su Yao's right elbow stabbed deeply into the iron sand. However, the iron sand was so thick that even though it had stabbed in so deeply, she still couldn't touch Lin Yu at all.

  "If the 'Spiritual Tool ? Asura' that I exchanged from those old fellows in my family with 300 million yuan could be broken by you so easily, my Blood Soul Clan would have been wiped out in the Qinwang Ridge long ago," Lin Yu shouted sharply. As soon as the words were out, more silver-gray iron sand flew out from the iron gourd, wrapping Lin Yu layer by layer, leaving only his line of sight and voice able to penetrate the iron sand. At the same time, Su Yao's elbow that had stabbed into the iron sand was continuously rubbed and torn by the hard iron sand. The silver-gray iron sand seemed to have spirituality and spread up along her arm. The "crow" was terrified and quickly cut off its right arm, retreating backward.

  It looked at Lin Yu, who was wrapped in the silver-gray iron sand, with a frightened look. Lin Yu said coldly, "Although I don't know what kind of monster you are, you don't understand the power of Earth cultivators, do you? Considering that you explained yourself just now, I won't let you down either. Let me tell you about the preciousness and power of my 'Asura Gourd'."

  "According to ancient records, the treasures of cultivators are divided into magical tools, spiritual tools, precious tools, and even magical treasures. But since the era of declining spiritual energy after the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the spiritual energy in the world has become increasingly thin. Nowadays, not to mention magical treasures and precious tools, even ordinary spiritual tools have gradually lost their spirituality and been reduced to magical tools because they can't absorb enough spiritual energy from the environment."

  "There are less than three hundred spiritual tools in the world now, and most of them are in the hands of cultivators. They need to be offered with true yuan and spirit stones day and night to maintain their spirituality and rank. You're very lucky to be able to witness the power of a spiritual tool just after arriving on Earth. But you're also very unfortunate to have become the first touchstone of my treasure worth 300 million yuan." Lin Yu gently tapped inside the iron sand, and a trace of faint true yuan overflowed, instantly triggering a more powerful reaction from the Asura Gourd.
