In an instant, the flesh and blood on the blood-flesh tree began to wriggle, and power started to converge.
"Thump... thump... thump... thump!"
At the same time, a strange heartbeat suddenly emanated from within the tree trunk, and the sealed body of Ding Haiping began to mutate uncontrollably once again. It was clear that the seal wouldn't hold much longer, and Ding Haiping was about to irreversibly transform into a Demonic Being.
Outside, Li Zhengfang, who had been watching all along, instinctively wanted to intervene to stop the process but was held back by both Zhang Decheng and Zheng Zhuo.
Before they could say anything, everyone's pupils contracted in unison.
They saw Wang Zijia suddenly strike like lightning, plunging his hand into the chest of the humanoid form, which was in the midst of mutating.
"Puff!"
A soft sound was heard as Wang Zijia's entire arm was thrust into the chest of the humanoid outline and into the tree trunk.
"Crack!"
