Saving Tamu and Preparing for Battle

The expression on Xia Fan, Pearl and Traveling Buddha's faces turned into that of anger when Tamu spoke his tale. Never could any of them have imagined that Tamu's story would be filled with such tragedy and sadness.

Tamu turned around. His long hair covered his back, but the moment he parted his locks, revealing his back muscles, everyone was stunned. Repulsive black crocodile-like bumps covered his back, his muscles there hard and lifeless.

Tamu let go of his hair and turned to look at Xia Fan again. He sighed deeply and said, "I'm now infected. In an effort to remove the powerful Demonic Energy and not infect Ashen Moon, the only thing I could do was use my body to absorb the Demonic Energy. Only by sacrificing myself would I be able to protect Ashen Moon.
