The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 206 - We are One

A huge bang blew away the trees that were around him. So strong that the trees bowed, Chao Mi held back with a fan but as a result she remained pushed back and bounced.

At first glance he looked at the two pairs of eyes, reminding him of the same gaze as five years ago. Filled with hatred and ambition that grows stronger over time.

He remembered the story he had heard 20 years ago. Once upon a time when he was young and often traveled. The story speaks of the Devil of Sin, a monstrous entity born from the fusion of demons and humans. The monstrous power it possessed could have destroyed the world and created unimaginable suffering.

Chao Mi looked at the dark image of the Devil of Sin, its gigantic body, its face wrapped by a gripping evil aura. His existence became a threat to all those in the Empire. The story has haunted the human mind for years, creating an unforgettable feeling of fear.

The Devil of Sin was born in a tragic event, one of the humans and demons dissolved in a forbidden relationship. They create a new entity that has a mixed nature of both. This entity is known as the Devil of Sin, symbolizing the darkest sinful deeds of man and the evil forces of the demon world.

The power of the Devil of Sin was born from uncontrollable negative energies, resulting in frightening abilities. He was able to control a large amount of demonic-power unleashing deadly attacks, and destroying them on a massive scale. His formidable strength was capable of destroying vast territories and creating unimaginable chaos.

As time went on, legends about the Devil's Sins spread in Diqiu Empire, raising fear and a sense of caution among the public. People are trying hard to keep themselves from the threat of its devastating power. Everyone was afraid of the devil and hated him, and so did Chao Mi at that time

"You ... You're more and more like the stories people tell about the bearer of the Devil of Sin. You only think of hatred in your heart" Chao Mi said in the sidelines of the fight.

Xue Zhan was completely unable to hear him, because back then he was also in a difficult situation.

The sound of a whirlwind greeting and flying his clothes, Xue Zhan opened both eyes and looked back at the Devil of Sin before him. Getting stronger over time. He could not resist that power at all, as if it had been mixed with his flesh blood and was hard to separate.

Xue Zhan was only punching with ordinary strength, but when he took a close look at Chao Mi's face and the tattoo belonged to Red Fanged, he said, there was a hatred he could not explain and made the demonic power within him come back out.

Somehow the power started to get out of control.

His body started to shake and break out in cold sweat. His previously calm face was now filled with an expression of pain and confusion. He felt something was wrong with his strength.

The Devil of Sin was seen opening a wide grin accompanied by a heavy laughter that echoed throughout the void space.

"You can't escape this power, it's your real power. The power of the demon that thirsts for blood and is feared by mankind." He slightly bowed to match his face with Xue Zhan who stood firmly staring hatefully.

"We are one."

A beam of light dazzled his eyes, Xue Zhan could only see when his fist managed to hit Chao Mi and watched how powerful the power he had unleashed just now while dumbfounded.

A swirling stream of dark and crimson energy surrounded him in an uncontrollable manner. This power seemed so strong that it shook the ground around him. Dark clouds covered the sky, creating a sinister atmosphere.

It was no longer his strength.

Waves of air coiled in place, Chao Mi was thrown into a rock that instantly shattered into rubble. His fan was thrown far enough away from him.

Xue Zhan could have directly finished off Chao Mi that second. Yet he was still unable to recognize the power he had just unleashed. All of it was not his, Xue Zhan clasped his right wrist. Trying to stop himself.

Chao Mi felt a terrifying pressure on her neck as Xue Zhan, who was under the influence of the demonic power controlling her, clasped her tightly. An uncontrollable force radiated from Xue Zhan's body, turning him into a terrifying figure.

Chao Mi struggled to break free from Xue Zhan's grip, but the pressure exerted was so intense that she could not put her foot on the ground. His breathing was congested, and his vision blurred due to lack of oxygen. A sense of danger engulfed him as he realized that before him was not Xue Zhan, but rather the demonic entity that affected him.

"You rotten devil! You don't deserve to live in this world! I'm gonna kill you, goddamn it!"

The demon gets stronger if he continues to use that power.

"Damn it, I never asked for your power, rotten devil."

Xue Zhan stopped the flow of power that was still continuously channeling into his palm. Creating a burst of power that still kept appearing. Heavy voices sounded in his mind.

In a suffocating state, Chao Mi gathered the remaining remnants of her strength. With one last push, he let out an unexpected attack. He launched a powerful kick right towards Xue Zhan's body that was being affected by the demonic power.

The kick struck with enough force to release Xue Zhan's grip, Chao Mi fell to the ground with a gasp of breath.

Xue Zhan, who was slightly stalled by the unexpected attack, looked puzzled and distracted for a moment. The influence of the demonic power shackling his mind made him unable to respond quickly.

And now that the situation was reversed, Chao Mi got up and instantly unleashed the deadly fan technique she had.

"Just kill you, trash!" he shouted while swinging a fan tight.

The sharp objects hidden within the typhoons were ready to tear Xue Zhan's body like sheets of paper.

Xue Zhan was grinding his teeth, on one hand he had to immediately save himself before becoming a cut. However if he insisted on using force, the same thing would happen again. The demonic power within him reappeared.

"Hm? Wh why? You're ambiguous? Hahaha, funny. Very humorous. When a demon denies his identity. You feel like you're just like any other human?"

The three giant typhoons were rapidly spinning around Xue Zhan, forming an invisible prison circle. They locked onto Xue Zhan's body, preventing him from moving. Xue Zhan was trapped within the whirlpools of those typhoons and could not do anything about it.

In the presence of the caged Xue Zhan, Chao Mi began to speak in a voice full of emotion. "you are no longer human. You've become a complete demon, an entity that eats your heart and controls you."

Xue Zhan slightly crouched down anticipating the movement from the front. But he was wrong, the woman came out from behind him and immediately shook off the sharp wind.

Xue Zhan flinched. The mask covering his face was thrown off.

"You forgot you're just a rotten demon that humans hate so much? That power is the true you. That hatred, desire, and ambition is your true nature!"

Inadvertently Xue Zhan saw a reflection of himself above the puddle.

His eyes were locked on the face right there on a horn on his head.

Xue Zhan had almost forgotten that he was nothing more than a demon. He has been with humans for too long and has always felt like helping them.

As much as he helped those humans would not change that he was the demon they so hated.

Bersit a question. After he took off the mask and exposed his horns, would the people he saved still be willing to accept it?

Chao Mi flew freely in the air, appearing as fast as lightning from three different directions by attacking her using wind claws. His wind claws formed a sharp and deadly stream of energy, sweeping out toward Xue Zhan at lightning speed.

Xue Zhan who was still trapped in the typhoon prison, tried to dodge the attack with limited reflex movements. Yet Chao Mi's attack was so fast that it was difficult for her to completely dodge. Several wind claws managed to reach his target, causing injuries to Xue Zhan's body.

Dozens of tears and incisions began to nest in Xue Zhan's body trapped in the typhoon and Chao Mi's deadly wind claws. The woman further added to her strength and was intent on taking Xue Zhan's life in that death circle.

Xue Zhan fell in stride. He really didn't put out a fight. Other than his eyes staring blankly at his own reflection, there was no other movement. It started to make Chao Mi annoyed. He seized the opportunity to weaken the demon. But on the other hand the woman was so curious as to what was bothering the young man's head.

"Start thinking about your sins before you die?"

He grinned complacently at the sight of his opponent full of blood and heavily injured. Xue Zhan who had been bathed in blood surprisingly was still able to endure. There was no sound of moans as if he had been slashed even more severely before.

"I thought about what I said first. The words that came out innocently from me. And is a long forgotten original goal."

His gaze was still locked on his own reflection, as if looking at himself five years ago.

"I want power not to take revenge. I just want to save people, be recognized as demons, and remove the hatred between humans and demons that has lasted hundreds of years."

But in reality all he had been chasing was to kill his enemies.

Chao Mi certainly did not care what the young man thought. He saw a wide open crack at the neck of Xue Zhan. Slowly his figure emerged from behind the strong gusts of wind, the cyclone's turn became increasingly uncontrollable while the careless Xue Zhan was precisely not defending himself.

Chao Mi is getting closer. The fan in his hand expanded, one of his hands took out a few secret weapons. He was eyeing Xue Zhan from the blind spot. His smooth movements and being covered by the force of the typhoon made it even easier to catch up to Xue Zhan.

They were only a few steps away. Xue Zhan came to a realization, he was too immersed with his thoughts. When Chao Mi turned her back on the body it was not much further. Xue Zhan was about to expend strength to endure.

But it's all too late.

Blood was sticking out long from the slash that Chao Mi had done. The slanted tear cut through his bones. I heard a voice in so much pain in a few seconds.

Silent struck. That instant Xue Zhan was deathly pale, his face was covered in blood and his voice was stuck in the throat.

"Jinner ..."
