I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 44 The Calamity of the Blood Lotus Cult

The group followed Qin Feng to the city gate.

About ten feet away, a group of people in red were seen wandering around, their figures appearing and disappearing in the distance.

They seemed to be wandering aimlessly, with a wisp of mist swirling around them.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that their footsteps were not moving, but rather floating in mid-air, and no footprints were left in the snow, which was quite eerie.

"Blood Lotus Cult, humph. I've also seen those so-called files. The key is still to kill that Blood Lotus bitch," Qin Feng sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, those two familiar lines of folk song rang out again from the crowd in red.

"The world is full of suffering, and life is hard. People freeze to death or starve to death, and no one cares."

"When the blood lotus blooms, warmth and sustenance come. The Holy Mother, who saves us from suffering, is here."

When Ji Lin and Zhang Liang heard this folk song, they felt a chill run down their spines.

They didn't want to touch these strange things again until they understood the situation.

It seems that these people in red have left a shadow on them.

Of course, Qin Feng and his group are an exception.

"This is a matter for the Demon Suppression Bureau. Those who are not involved should step aside." Qin Feng said solemnly as he slowly drew his sword.

Based on his past experience in handling cases, people who are too weak will undoubtedly only cause more trouble.

Especially for a demonic fetus like Ji Lin, it will only make the abnormality even stronger.

He didn't know how strong Ji Lin and the others were, but what strength could people from a small county town have, even if they had some fame?

Compared to the unusual events they handled in the state capital, these are not even in the same league.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin and the county magistrate exchanged a glance, then helplessly walked to the side and waited quietly.

Although the words were somewhat harsh, Ji Lin was secretly delighted. What a wonderful thing!

He wasn't planning on going to his death anyway, so he let the experts deal with it.

"Senior brother, be careful. We only managed to escape because of Young Master Ji's warning."

Zhang Liang wanted to remind Qin Feng of the role Ji Lin played in this matter.

Ji Lin shook his head helplessly. "Don't drag me into this! Your senior brother is so amazing, you have to trust him!"

Qin Feng glanced back at Ji Lin and said, "You know it was just luck. You can't always rely on luck when dealing with unusual events, right? The key is to rely on strength."

"By the way, kid, what's your ability?"

"Your Excellency, my ability is to enhance my agility and speed."

He cupped his hands in greeting, paused for a moment, and then said, "Um, I can also release small insects. I don't know if that counts as an ability."

"Haha, interesting. Alright, I got it," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Indeed, we can't place our hopes on a mere child.

He had thought this kid might have some special abilities and asked about his skills, but he was just being cautious because of his junior brother's reminder.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the city gate, where he saw hundreds of people surging out from behind him.

"What the hell are those things?" Qin Feng cursed.

Everyone looked behind them, wondering why so many people had appeared.

These people seemed to have lost their minds, their eyes glazed over as if they were all staring at Qin Feng.

Their bodies were hunched over, their hands hung down, and their faces were pale and bloodless.

Two words suddenly popped into Ji Lin's mind: "zombie" and "puppet".

He was reminded of something: Zhang Liang had been attacked in the same way last night.

These things seem to have appeared after Zhang Liang cursed the Blood Lotus Saintess.

But why are there so many this time? What's going on?

"Everyone be careful, these guys seem to be controlled by something."

After he finished speaking, he pulled the county magistrate away to a more distant place on the side.

These puppets are obviously looking for Qin Feng; there's no need for him to walk right into their trap.

The puppets paused briefly, then quickly locked onto their targets and began their charge towards the group from the Demon Suppression Palace.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang felt very uneasy. The strange methods were endless, and who knew how they would attack them this time?

"Be careful, don't let your guard down!!" he shouted.

"Brothers, follow me and kill these bastards!" Qin Feng had barely finished speaking when he raised his sword and charged into the crowd.

He didn't believe that ghosts transformed from ordinary people—no, at most, ghosts of grandmaster martial artists—could be that powerful.

His footsteps and the sword in his hand became a series of shadows as he swung it forward.

"Pfft!!"

Then a group of puppets fell, blood gushing out and splattering all over their bodies.

A closer look reveals that these puppets appear to have more blood and higher blood pressure than normal people.

The body is like a large blood bag under high pressure; to be precise, the blood is ruptured.

The five people behind Qin Feng followed closely behind him, at a slightly slower pace, but soon they caught up with him.

Zhang Liang saw that these ghosts were all rushing towards Qin Feng and surrounding him.

Feeling even more uneasy, he led the four men behind him and desperately slashed forward.

"Brothers, let's charge in!!"

He sensed that these ghostly creatures were extremely fragile, shattering at the slightest touch, and the impact of the red liquid spray was immense.

When it hits someone, it doesn't just hurt like normal, but it also has a stinging and burning sensation.

This is too strange. Although there are similarities to what happened last night, there are also obvious differences.

Two groups of people fought fiercely inside and outside the crowd, and the number of puppets inside the city was also increasing.

The blood-red patterns on the puppets' arms or necks suddenly glowed red.

Everyone was puzzled, but they were too busy fighting to notice these strange phenomena.

Ji Lin watched from the side, where the puppets glowed red on one side and the red-clad man sang a ballad on the other.

He found the bizarre scene utterly terrifying.

The situation is now beyond his control; things are starting to spiral out of control...

When the red light became so bright that it was blinding, all the puppets suddenly exploded.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Hundreds of puppets exploded almost simultaneously, creating a series of loud bangs.

Zhang Liang and Qin Feng promptly gathered their true energy to resist, enveloping their subordinates within it.

Ji Lin, accompanied by the county magistrate, continued to flee along the city wall to one side to hide.

Hundreds of enormous, viscous "flowers of flesh and blood" bloomed simultaneously on the wasteland outside the city.

Broken bones, internal organs, muscles, and thick, unyielding blood were splashed all around.

A nauseating, thick smell of blood instantly filled the air.

The force of the explosion propelled blood and flesh high into the air, then transformed into a crimson rain of blood that enveloped everything.

The raindrops were heavy and sticky, making a muffled "pat-pat" sound as they hit the snow.

The city walls, banners, and withered trees were instantly stained a bleak dark red.

After the blood rain stopped, a deathly silence fell.

"My lord, are you alright?" Ji Lin helped the county magistrate up from the ground.

"Young Master Ji, I'm fine." The magistrate brushed the snowflakes off his clothes and looked at the scene of the explosion.

"Chen Da!!! Ah Chong!!"

Two demon-suppressing guards immediately stepped forward to check on the two people who had fallen to the ground.

"Boss, they're both dead..." The man's brows furrowed, and he bit his lower lip hard, trembling slightly.

Qin Feng stared at the two corpses, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

Of the two who died, one was an Awakened One.

"I can't even remember how long these two had been following me. They died at the hands of the supernatural, so they deserved to die."

He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

"Sigh, I never expected these bastards to have this trick up their sleeves," Zhang Liang sighed.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground and recalling the scene just now, everyone was shocked and could not calm down for a long time.

"The world is full of suffering, and life is hard. People freeze to death or starve to death, and no one cares."

"When the blood lotus blooms, warmth and sustenance come. The Holy Mother, who saves us from suffering, is here."

Qin Feng looked in the direction where the ballad was still playing and gripped his sword tightly...
