Chapter 571 - 558: Defeated General
Due to the flames, the corpse was already charred, and at this moment, Chen Ligang’s body was pushed aside, and the Inferior Demon crawled out from it.
Because Chen Ligang was behind taking the damage, the Inferior Demon only had some scratches, which meant nothing to it.
The Inferior Demon stared at Chen Ligang’s corpse for a long time, then turned its head, its large eyes flickering nonstop, its thoughts clear without words.
"From now on, don’t eat indiscriminately." Chen Feng waved his hand, stopping the Inferior Demon’s thoughts. Compared to the previous pure Demon, the Inferior Demon now possessed some real wisdom.
The Inferior Demon used to be more like a wild beast, like a hunting dog in Chen Feng’s hand. When participating in battles, Chen Feng naturally allowed it to bite off the prey’s neck with its mouth, even directly swallowing the flesh and blood into its stomach.
But now, things were different. The Inferior Demon not only had the appearance of a human but also, through countless evolutions, had completed a transformation of wisdom.
Would you let a child eat a bloody steak raw?
In Chen Feng’s eyes, the Inferior Demon had shed its previous label, becoming a true human. Moreover, if it could gain some divinity, the Inferior Demon would undergo an astonishing evolution because it had already grasped all the conditions to become a divine creature. Even the burdensome lower body would completely disappear, transforming into a real pair of legs.
Who would have thought that an Inferior Demon would one day grow to this extent?
Compared to the other Summoned Beasts who had already taken shape before their summoning, the Inferior Demon held extraordinary significance in Chen Feng’s heart.
Everything about it was molded in Chen Feng’s choices and thoughts; in a sense, it’s a very complex feeling. The Inferior Demon is not just a Summoned Beast; in Chen Feng’s view, it’s more like a meticulously sculpted treasure.
And with the endless time sculpting it, this piece has become a priceless artwork. At times like this, he particularly needs to maintain calm and clear thinking, and for Chen Feng, the Inferior Demon’s transformation has reached the critical stage, and he doesn’t want anything to affect his carefully nurtured creation.
The Inferior Demon felt a bit disappointed not getting the delicacies, pursing its lips and standing aside, without saying anything further.
The blood of the strong is undoubtedly beneficial to the Inferior Demon, but it has reached the last step of degradation, so if it continues to consume human blood, a trace of wildness will forever linger on it.
Therefore, Chen Feng has decided not to let the Inferior Demon touch such forbidden items, and as for the corpse, he certainly wouldn’t waste it, but he has his own plans.
As Chen Feng was still training the Inferior Demon not to eat food raw, on the other side, the cloak on the Undead Mage had already fallen, and the staff was waving, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by twenty degrees, as if entering a world of ice and snow, devoid of life.
The mournful sounds in the fog gradually diminished, replaced by some fearful voices, as if those Undead had witnessed something terrifying, feeling fear and scattering even though they had become spiritual forms.
But the Undead Mage appeared indifferent, for being undead, the human compassion was long gone. In its view, all these Resentful Spirits in the mist were its spoils of war. Its gloomy gaze shot forward, causing the surrounding air to start distorting and deforming. Even Lin Tianxiu could sense its own abilities being suppressed; furthermore, the mist was continuously shrinking.
The struggle of a cornered beast.
As the Resentful Spirits were subdued by the Undead Mage, the area in question had already shrunk by half compared to before, within which a face of extreme terror could be faintly seen.
After some rest, Elwin had recovered some strength. At this point, seeing the ghostly face manifest, she pulled her bow taut and shot toward the apparition!
The arrow, combined with the momentum of traversing stars and the sharpness of thorn, pierced the mist effortlessly. If it were an ordinary arrow, Lin Tianxiu’s body was completely vaporized, incapable of causing any damage; but Elwin, being Golden Tier, shot the arrow imbued with a powerful energy.
The arrow pierced through the mist, eliciting a beast-like wail, followed by the white fog turning blood-red, even filling the air with a faint bloody smell.
Lin Tianxiu, though not dead, was heavily wounded!
"I surrender, I don’t want to die. You’ve killed Li Hongyi and the others; relying solely on Yan Xiu is far from enough to command Canyong Gate, but I can! I have influence, power, and prestige. As long as you spare my life, I’ll follow you loyally. You want this city, right? I can help!"
Not being killed instantly, Lin Tianxiu’s weak voice came from the mist, trembling in tone, showing he was very scared right now.
"I said before, only one of you and Chen Ligang can live. Now that Chen Ligang is dead, naturally, you have the right to live, but why are you still hiding? Must I invite you out?" Chen Feng’s face turned cold, perhaps the prestige of having slain two Golden Tier experts just now still lingered; his gaze, like a knife, penetrated the mist.
"I never thought, no, no one thought, your strength would be so frightening, and there are so many experts following you; our defeat is not unjust!"
The mist dispersed, revealing Lin Tianxiu’s figure once more, however, compared to his previous lecturing demeanor, he now appeared quite fallen, with disheveled hair, trembling body, and even an arrow on his shoulder, with the thorn piercing through his flesh, a small section even protruding outside.
Seeing the numerous formidable individuals around, and Chen Feng encircled at the center, Lin Tianxiu felt that all those years were wasted, even knowing the apocalypse had endless possibilities, but witnessing the other side’s ability to command the heavens and manipulate the whole Canyong Gate with ease, he couldn’t help feeling bewildered, hardly believing his experiences.
"Five major heads in the Canyong Gate, three have died by my hands; even if I kill you, it won’t affect my plan, but since you want to live, I’ll give you a chance - kneel and worship me, and I’ll accept your belief to spare your life. I’ve never trusted verbal promises; you joined hands to kill me, so you have to pay some price. Once you worship, your life will be tied to my hand; with just a thought, I can execute you!"
Chen Feng didn’t rashly accept Lin Tianxiu’s oral allegiance but proposed a requirement instead, seeing Lin Tianxiu’s erratic gaze, he frowned slightly, his voice full of authority, "Lin Tianxiu, do you want to live or die?"
