With blistering, unadulterated rage KaiHua Yaomo sent thousands of demonic parasites out of his body. After watching the tutorial/autopilot mode closely he could mimic the technique almost perfectly.
"Breathe as much as you can, for today you will draw your last." The parasites cascaded towards the floor, with precision and speed drawing closer towards the righteous cultivators.

Racing forth, one would usually not be detected because of their minuscule size. However, in hoards of thousands horror would dawn on anyone with their reach.

KaiHua's face twisted into a sadistic smirk with his teeth viciously bared for all to witness whilst his speed did not mitigate. Though the nutrients being drawn to his body were indirect, it still supplied him with bountiful amounts of energy. The parasites were of the most effective in the demonic realm, it would take too much Qi from the user to maintain them. However, the parasites would feed off their host until the carcass is nothing but bones draped with skin, they'd transfer that energy to the user so their master would have a plentiful amount of energy to keep in control. It was a perfect symbiosis. The parasites were how the KaiHua were able to become puppet masters.

He felt almost cannibalistic after inserting the parasites into his own brethren, he was practically feeding off them.

After the demons had the parasite crawl beneath their skin and into their brains, they began to brutally attack one another. They'd elongated their claws and turned on each other, scraping off layers of skin and breaking their bones. One demon had grabbed another, grasping its jaw and pulling hard enough to completely snap the jaw off its hinges. It didn't stop. The skin kept splitting and thick rivulets of blood poured either side of the tear until the demon was almost ripped in half. The stench of blood was sickening, even demon blood smelled like copper.

Drawing in massive amounts of Yin Qi, KaiHua Yaomo burst forth and punched Mobei-jun square in the face. His system was screaming at him, though his only response was 'he'd killed demons before, his own clansmen. Why can I not kill these demons? Aren't these the same circumstances?' His growl reverberated in his throat whilst he grasped Shen QingQiu's wrist with enough force to crush bone. His grip relaxed upon realising he'd been hurting him.

"Shen-shi- ... Shen QingQiu..." he had so much he wanted to say, so much he wanted ask. Yet it all went unsaid in that moment. The boy, Binghe if he remembered correctly, was fighting tooth and nail yet getting beaten entirely. He'd looked almost hopeful in that moment, he'd thought he'd gained an ally though he snarled at the contact with his Shizun. But he couldn't do much about it, if Shizun knew this person... he was on their side, right?

"KaiHua!" Mobei-Jun almost yelled, directing his attention on the man whom he'd brought to this fight. He suddenly summoned a pure-black sword of ice out of thin air; that one became two, two became four, four became eight, instantly dviding into an array of hundreds of ice swords, then shot at the surrounded Flower Demon from all directions! "You're all inadequate." With a flick of his wrist the swords descended with terrifying speed.

The pure Demonic Qi would be almost impossible to deflect or shield against. KaiHua looked at Shen QingQiu and put a palm placatingly against his cheek, he looked into his eyes and then threw him, only then noticing the An Ding peak lord vomiting blood in a tree. With Shen QingQiu out of range he contemplated whether or not he enough time to call forth his puppet, as some kind of meat shield.

The blow did not arrive. KaiHua's eyes darted around, trying to gain as much information on the matter as possible. The swords had shattered, and a young boy stood amidst the chaos.

Shen Yuan bewilderedly looked over from his spot on the ground. WHAT WAS THIS SITUATION!? WHERE WAS THE MOON RHINOCEROS PITHON!? WHO THE HELL IS THIS DEMON WHO KNOWS THE ORIGINAL GOODS!???
though, he had to be grateful that he had seemed to care enough to save the despite being a demon. But Shen Yuan had never read of this demon in the original <<Proud Immortal Demon Way >>... had the butterfly effect even put NPCs into action!?
