Chapter 484: Space Whale
Would the demons give up on entering Shangri-La just because Meng Tingfeng stood at the exit? The answer was no. If anything, it made them even more determined to break through. In the demon’s eyes, Meng Tingfeng's presence meant that the credibility of the passage increased. Why else would they station a powerful combatant there when his presence would have been more useful elsewhere?
Under Demon Emperor Jiaolang’s orders, a second and third squad of demons entered the invisible passage. Their configuration resembled that of the first squad that entered. Most of the demons had unique defensive innate abilities, or ones capable of restoring demon qi at low cost.
Meng Tingfeng, who saw this, narrowed his eyes. He looked at the incoming demons and back at Shangri-La. After a moment of hesitation, he flew forward until he was only a few hundred meters away from the first squad of demons. “Tianyi, stop attacking the first group of demons and let me deal with them. Focus on attacking the new squads!”
‘Who the hell do you think you are, ordering me like this?’ Tianyi thought. He could see Meng Tingfeng's thoughts at a glance. The sword immortal wanted to hone himself, and the narrow space of the passage made it a perfect battleground. ‘Maybe I should just use this chance and kill him with the turrets. After all, only I know their functions. I can just say that Meng Tingfeng stepped into their range.’
Ultimately, and luckily for Meng Tingfeng, Tianyi did not choose to commit patricide. Instead, he halted the turrets’ attacks. Their aim never left the demon—or Meng Tingfeng—and were ready to start attacking at a moment’s notice.
The first squad of demons, who felt much more at ease once Tianyi halted the turrets’ assault, glared at Meng Tingfeng, eyes ravenous. They knew that Meng Tingfeng didn’t stop the attack for their own good, so why would they be thankful? If anything, they wanted to tear his flesh and drink his blood upon seeing his murderous eyes.
The demons pounced on the lone human, their bodies stretched for hundreds of meters, dwarfing Meng Tingfeng’s two meter-tall body. Yet, Meng Tingfeng’s momentum made him equal to this group of demons. If anything, his momentum continued to increase and showed faint signs of suppressing the demons’ momentum.
Meng Tingfeng gripped the Seven Star Sword and drew it out. A beautiful light trailed behind the arc of the blade, almost resembling a shooting star. The sword smashed into the turtle-like demon king’s shell and knocked him backward. When the turtle-like demon stopped, a deep gash appeared on his shell.
The turtle-like demon king’s eyes revealed shock. Against immortal emperors, the most they could do was leave a white mark, but Meng Tingfeng, an immortal monarch, actually left a gash on his shell. Although the gash didn’t reach his flesh, it was still shocking. “This isn’t good. My defense isn’t enough to stop him for long. We must kill him before my defenses fail.”
