That small figure moved with incredible speed, emerging from a blind spot in the side view. A hand as white as jade reached out from the side and struck the eye of the rising wolf demon.
Tang San’s timing, positioning, and distance were extremely precise.
He was well aware that even with the martial arts of the Tang Sect and his cultivation at the third stage of the Profound Heaven Skill, the wolf demon was still a formidable opponent. In a direct confrontation, he might not be a match. Especially given his young age and lack of vitality, he could not sustain a prolonged battle. If not for the human who had killed one of the wolf demons, he would not have taken action against two third-stage wolf demons; his life was the most important thing.
However, once he made his move, he had to hit his target.
The wolf demon was in a state of extreme anger, so it was only when Tang San’s hand was about to strike its eye that it realized the danger. It abruptly turned its head, and its mouth lunged toward Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San’s other hand grabbed the wolf demon’s clothing, taking advantage of his small and agile body. He pulled on the wolf fur, changing his direction. He almost stuck to the chest of the third-stage wolf demon, then flipped to the other side.
His right index and middle fingers, formed into a sword point, were activated by the Profound Jade Hand, glowing with a white jade color. They stabbed lightning-fast into the eye of the wolf demon, which was turning its head.
“Pfft!” The slender fingers almost instantly felt the warmth. In terms of physical strength, Tang San was far inferior to the third-stage wolf demon, but hitting a vital point with equal energy left no room for luck.
The Profound Heaven Skill, injected by the Profound Jade Hand, almost spiraled into the wolf demon’s brain. The other eye of the wolf demon burst instantly, and its brain was turned into a mush. The roar was abruptly cut off as if its throat had been clamped, and its strong body fell to the ground.
Tang San’s toes pushed off the wolf demon’s body, and he flipped to a safer distance.
The success of this attack was due to his rich combat experience from his previous life. His small and agile body and the darkness of the night provided the best cover, especially since the third-stage wolf demon was in a state of rage, reducing its perception.
In a direct confrontation, Tang San’s Profound Jade Hand might not have been able to penetrate the thick skin of the wolf demon. However, the eyes were the most vulnerable spot. Piercing the eye and injecting the Profound Heaven Skill energy meant certain death.
Landing on his feet, the other third-stage wolf demon was already still. Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief. He did not rush to check on the human but quickly lay down, pressing his ear to the ground to listen for any other pursuers.
Given his current strength, it was difficult for him to face a third-stage wolf demon directly. No matter how skilled he was, his young and frail body was too weak. If the wolf demon hit him, it could be fatal. The seemingly simple attack he just made was actually his all-out effort, with his mental willpower pushed to the limit.
There was no other movement around, indicating that only two third-stage wolf demons were chasing the human who could transform. This also made Tang San feel relieved; otherwise, he would have had to choose to flee.
He then approached the human, still maintaining his vigilance.
When he came close, he immediately noticed that the hair that had grown on the human’s body had disappeared. This made Tang San’s heart beat a bit faster.
Given his young age and the fact that he had no relation to the human, the safest course of action would have been to do nothing and wait for the wolf demons to leave. But he still chose to act. One reason was that the one being chased was a human. Another important reason was the transformation he had just witnessed.
In Tang San’s original Douluo Continent world, there were Soul Masters with beast-type soul powers who could possess similar abilities. They could also grow and become stronger through the cultivation of their beast-type soul powers.
If there were similar abilities in this world, learning them would greatly benefit his own strength and make it easier for him to integrate into this world.
Tang San squatted down, intending to turn the human over. At that moment, the human, who had been lying motionless, suddenly flipped over and clawed at him. As they faced each other at such close range in the dim light, both of them saw each other clearly.
The human’s claw paused in mid-air, not continuing the attack, and Tang San instantly leaped back, moving out of the attack range.
“Are you a human?” The human’s voice was somewhat hoarse. He looked to be in his twenties, with a pale face and a relatively handsome appearance. Blood was seeping from his nose and mouth.
As he spoke, his hand fell limply to the side. Tang San could now clearly see a large tear in the human’s chest and abdomen, with intestines spilling out and heavy bleeding.
Tang San nodded to him and quickly moved to his front. The human seemed to have lost all strength, lying on the ground with a pale face, gasping for breath. His pupils were already dilated.
Without hesitation, Tang San’s hands moved quickly. The human’s biggest problem was excessive blood loss and internal organ damage. With his current abilities, he could not save him, but he could try to prolong his life for a while.
He quickly tied the exposed intestines, then pushed them back into the abdominal cavity, tearing off the hem of the human’s clothes to press on the wound, at least to stop the blood from flowing out. Then he placed his other hand on the human’s chest, slowly injecting his Profound Heaven Skill power to protect the heart and maintain a warm breath.
The human’s breathing gradually stabilized, and his eyes regained some vitality.
“You, you’re just a child... you...”
Tang San said, “Your injuries are probably beyond saving. If you have any last wishes, I can help you fulfill them, but you need to answer one question for me.”
Hearing Tang San’s calm and mature voice, the young man was taken aback, then said without hesitation, “Alright. Ask your question first. If I can answer, I’ll ask you for a favor.”
Undoubtedly, this was the first rational and clear-minded human Tang San had encountered since coming to this world. This was certainly not a slave.
“What is the ability you just used to transform? How can one obtain it?” Tang San immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.
The young man was taken aback by his question, “You don’t know the Demon God Transformation? Then how did you kill the wolf demon?”
“What is the Demon God Transformation? Mine is a natural ability; I don’t know what it is.” Tang San said thoughtfully, firmly remembering the three words “Demon God Transformation.”
The young man’s eyes brightened, “A natural awakening of the Demon God Transformation? What is your ability?”
Tang San frowned, “It’s my turn to ask you now.”
The young man gasped a few times, “The Demon God Transformation is a power inherited from the bloodline of humans and demon or spirit races. It is passed down from that part of the bloodline.”
Tang San’s heart sank, “Do you mean a mixed bloodline?”
The young man smiled bitterly, “Yes, only through this can we have some power. And those like me who acknowledge ourselves as humans are very few. Most people with the Demon God Transformation choose to become vassals of the demon or spirit races, enjoying a higher status than ordinary human slaves. We, however, do not consider ourselves demons or spirits; we only want humans to have the right to survive and not be enslaved. Therefore, we resist. I was originally going to assassinate the Wind Wolf Lord but made a wrong judgment and was severely injured. That’s how I ended up in this situation.”
