Chapter 926: Swallowing Demon Mark''s bug


    Ye Zhongming jumped slightly. Although it looked like he didn’t use any strength, this was the fastest speed he could currently use.


    Demon Gold’s meatgrinder hands brushed past his ear, and the wind it swept caused Ye Zhongming’s ears to hurt.


    You knew how sharp it was just by listening to the sound.


    Ye Zhongming could guess his abilities improved after Demon Gold swallowed the demon mark. The black mark didn’t give him new abilities but helped to improve the old ones.


    For example, the bone fork. Previously, it was a skill used on his arms, but now it covered half of his body.


    Those wolf souls were gone and had entered Demon Gold’s body, enchanting the bone scales and blade. Not only did this render darkness energy useless on him, but it also strengthened the bone fork.


    Of course, his biggest strength increase was still Human Spirit Transformation. This ability instantly increased the user’s strength. With the demon mark, speed, strength, reaction, and defense all increased. Demon Gold, who could only run from Ye Zhongming, was now able to stand up and fight back.


    But Ye Zhongming was still calm.


    “Die!”


    “Die!”


    “Die!”


    Demon Gold continued to shout as if it could give him courage and combat strength. Not only were his arms spinning like a meat grinder. His legs, even all his joints, had bone blades sticking out, and using all sorts of methods to strike Ye Zhongming.


    But none of them hit.


    This made it very anxious.


    Some sounds spread from the battle contribution badge. Ye Zhongming felt Demon Gold wouldn’t have any more trump cards, so he fought back.


    The situation started to change. Demon Gold, who was confident that he could kill Ye Zhongming, started to taste the full-strength attacks from this Cloud Peak boss.


    Ye Zhongming added a layer of black earth armor, special form!


    Cloud Peak had many materials, so replenishing the Earth Elf’s energy wasn’t a problem. Naturally, Ye Zhongming was happy to use the skill.


    This special armor consumed more energy than the ordinary Earth Armor but had higher defense.


    But similarly, evolved were able to use that time to attack.


    Ye Zhongming’s glove shone with specks of starlight.


    Cloud Slice!


    This skill, which even level eight Hong Xiang was afraid of, smashed into Demon Gold’s body at close range.


    The red Demon mark was not a weakness but a strength. The scales on half his body had high defense, but these specks of light couldn’t be defended. Demon Gold cried out, and his body flew backward again.


    Ye Zhongming followed like a shadow. He didn’t use any weapons and just fought up close. His fists, legs, and joints were all used to hit Demon Gold.


    A series of hits could be heard in the tunnel.


    Cloud Slice’s light specks left blood all over Demon Gold’s body. The areas without the bone scale’s defense were pierced through. The battle would have already ended if not for him protecting his head.


    Even after the demon mark swallowing, Demon Gold hadn’t reached an impenetrable level.


    Facing Ye Zhongming’s close combat, there was nothing he could do. Although Ye Zhongming didn’t have close combat skills after his job merged, but he was trained by Xia Lei and Mo Ye. He was well trained, even if he wasn’t an expert in some techniques. Along with his vast apocalypse fighting experience and various buffs, his close combat was no weaker than those who were specially trained.


    Demon Gold’s Human Spirit Transformation was strong, and that was something Ye Zhongming had to admit. Moreover, the demon mark was weird and opened his eyes. But in front of strength, he was slightly weaker and was destined to lose.


    Fists hit Demon Gold’s arm. He raised his knee to knock aside the other arm. Ye Zhongming then grabbed Demon Gold’s neck.


    “No...”


    He only heard one word before he crushed his neck. He tossed his muscular body to the side. The bone scales, blade, and black patterns all disappeared.


    His eyes were wide open, but he stopped breathing. His eyes were filled with a reluctance to accept the situation.


    Everyone who died in the apocalypse would look like that.


    Ye Zhongming didn’t continue here. After confirming the direction, he ran to Xia Lei as the outcome of that battle was about to be decided.


    But after he disappeared in the tunnel, a dozen-centimeter bug appeared from the bricks in an unassuming corner. It looked around before jumping on Demon Gold’s corpse and entering the demon mark that had stopped moving. A dozen seconds later, when it came out, its body doubled in size. The red mark also disappeared from Demon Gold’s body.
