Chapter 67

Differences Between Species [物种差异 Wù Zhǒng Chā Yì] is the sixty-seventh chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
As the woman's approach Xi Sha's neck, the latter manages to grab her arms and stop the attack, surprising the woman who sarcastically compliments her impressive reflexes. An enraged Xi Sha exerts her strength on the woman's arms. Mockingly suggesting if Xi Sha plans to contest her power, the woman notes that those who follow the Double Devils cultivation method can acquire the pinnacle of offense and defense, and she in particular focused on training strength. The veins on her arms proceed to bulge.

The chapter then cuts to an exposition, explaining that strength is incomparable between different species, giving the example that no matter how strong a human is, they are overwhelmed like a baby challenging an adult when contesting an adult elephant's strength. As part of the Double Devils cultivation, bloodstones are absorbed to refine the body while negative emotions are absorbed to hone the soul. This kind of strengthening could transform any human or monster into an extraordinary creature beyond the capabilities of normal organisms, whose efforts to contend with them are futile.

Back to the story, the woman arrogantly declares that challenging an Attacker's strength is suicide as she continues to push her hands towards Xi Sha's throat. However, at the last second Xi Sha pushes her arms back to her side and grabs her wrists, utterly shocking her. The woman questions how she is the one being overpowered instead and wonders what kind of monster Xi Sha is. Xi Sha furiously identifies herself as a world-destroying demon lord, an organism that rests at the top of the food chain among all life, horrifying the woman. Noting that petty peasants are only worthy of being snacks for others, Xi Sha enlarges her mouth and prepares to bite down on her. Having her hands restrained and with no means of escape, the woman loudly pleads for help from "Wuer".
