"It's you, Nangong Jin!"
"You forced your way into the heartland of our Fiend Race and stole our Holy Key. I can't believe you have the audacity to come back for our Holy Grail!
Are you trying to steal every single one of our Fiend Race's sacred treasures?!"
A few suppressed, thunderous roars echoed.
A monster with the head of a ferocious crocodile, a pair of bat wings sprouting from its back, and the lower body of a giant python burst from the woods.
Its eyes, fixed on Nangong Jin, were crimson as blood. Its grotesque, scaled face was twisted in fury, and wisps of scorching, sulfuric air drifted from the gaps in its armored scales.
The greatest difference between the Fiend Race and the Demon Race is that Fiends are creatures of the Cultivation Realm corrupted by the Demonic Qi that seeps from the rifts of the Abyss.
Their bodies and bloodlines, catalyzed by Demonic Qi, manifest as malformed hybrids of various creatures, plants, or even inanimate objects.
