Merging with Demon Spirits

At this moment, Lin Feng could hardly suppress the excitement rising within him.

"What’s wrong?"

Yu Qiao seemed to sense Lin Feng’s unusual state, and shot him a curious glance.

The key’s gone, what’s there to be excited about?

Lin Feng gave a look. As teammates, they still shared this bit of tacit understanding. Very soon, Yu Qiao activated the Silent Realm.

"What’s up?" Yun Tianqi asked, his face full of confusion.

The others were the same—why release the Silent Realm for no reason?

Lin Feng covered his mouth with his hand, and said, "Stay calm, no one freak out!"

Demon Spirit Masters have all sorts of unusual abilities—Thousand-Mile Eye, Sharp-Eared, all that. Back then, Yang Fan relied on his verbal skills and a Two Tier Sound-seeking Beast to overhear conversations between him and Ya Ge from over a hundred meters away.

Though weirdos like Yang Fan were rare, you couldn’t be too careful.

This plan was too insane, with far-reaching impact. No amount of caution was too much.

As these words were spoken, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, knowing Lin Feng must be up to something big. They wiped the doubt from their faces and stopped wasting words.

He calmly glanced around the surroundings.

At this moment, both sides were still locked in a standoff. Though tensions were high, no one was making a move.

Even though they knew the key had already been taken, facing a Divine Level Barrier, no one could break through.

The key was already out of reach, but their unwillingness to accept defeat kept most of the Human Race squads lingering.

In contrast to the easy confidence of the Alien Race, the Human Race squads looked dispirited and desperate.

All that effort was for nothing. So many sacrifices, and still they failed.

Barring any surprises, the invasion would soon arrive—disaster was imminent.

"I’ve locked onto the one refining the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit, right inside the barrier!" Lin Feng said.

As soon as he finished, Yu Qiao pressed her lips tight, fighting back the urge to scream.

The others tried hard to remain calm, but their heartbeats went out of control, pounding wildly as if about to burst from their chests.

They had no idea how Lin Feng managed to lock onto the person refining the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit, nor did Lin Feng explain.

But that didn’t matter!

What mattered was that Lin Feng had already locked onto that Abnormal Person, and moreover, he possessed the Divine Level Soul Skill [Stand].

Meaning Lin Feng could at any time swap that Alien refining the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit out from the barrier.

As long as they killed him, the barrier before them would disappear.

Which meant—there was still hope!

"How many people are inside?" Lin Feng asked.

Yu Qiao pretended to wipe her mouth and whispered, "Five! Four of them are Kings! The one who got the key is Tian Di! They’re all from the Celestial Hall."

Lin Feng quickly said, "In a moment, I’ll have Sha Mi appear and create chaos. You all spread out. Yang Ningbing, you stay close to me. In the chaos, open the barrier directly, but don’t let anyone notice!"

"What are you trying to do?"

Yu Qiao asked, her tone tinged with doubt and unease.

If all he wanted was to kill the Alien refining the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit, there was no need to stir up a huge mess or open any barriers.

He could just take them out with a single blow—no need for all this risk, or for Sha Mi to appear. This just seemed like overkill.

Unless Lin Feng didn’t want anyone to find out!

Then his plan became obvious.

Many team members had guessed it, but didn’t dare believe Lin Feng would dare something so insane.

"You’re not planning to snatch the key, are you?"

Bu Zheng asked, his tone full of shock and seriousness.

Leaving out the one with the Flower Erosion Demon Spirit—for Lin Feng to enter the barrier, he’d have to face four Kings at once!

In the Land of Chaos, with suppressed power, Lin Feng’s Dragon Fish explosive might was tightly restrained.

Most of what Lin Feng had absorbed were Support Soul Skills.

With his strength, he could handle one King. Two at once was already the limit. Four at once?

Plus, in such a confined space—the diameter of the barrier was just five or six meters—at that short range, there was no room for guerrilla tactics, barely any space to dodge. It could only be close-quarters combat!

Four against one, and facing four Kings, including Tian Di, who’s refined the Six-armed Celestial Demon—a Demon Spirit that gives massive advantage in melee fights.

Not to mention Lin Feng—even Ye Xing couldn’t handle that.

This was just impossible!

It was suicide!

Even if it was impossible, the plan was crazy enough to make everyone’s blood boil.

But what if he succeeded?

At the thought, their bodies were tingling.

If they were right, Lin Feng clearly planned to devour all the Alien prodigies and Kings in the Land of Chaos—not letting a single one go, otherwise he wouldn’t have had Yang Ningbing open the barrier.

But if so, Lin Feng himself couldn’t escape!

The one with the key could close the Space Gate!

The way to close the Space Gate was to destroy the key. If the Space Gate collapsed, Lin Feng would be trapped too!

"Cut the crap, there’s no time. If the key gets refined, it can’t be taken away. Like I said, you all have no idea what I can really do!"

No idea at all.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, speechless, not sure what to say.

So many trump cards, yet he claims they have no idea.

What kind of trump card can take on four Kings at the same time?

Compared to the others, only Bu Zheng knew a little more.

Though it was hard to believe, as teammates, with what they knew of Lin Feng, he wouldn’t do things without confidence. He wouldn’t throw his life away for nothing.

Lin Feng never did things that only got him into trouble, with no benefit.

All along the way, Lin Feng had pulled off one miracle after another!

Turning all impossibilities into possibilities.

Ignoring the others, Lin Feng turned to Hong Yi: "I’ve discussed it with Sha Mi. After you fall asleep later, it will take your place and appear!"

Hong Yi was calm, giving Lin Feng a radiant smile.

"Once Sha Mi appears, Yang Ningbing, stay close to me. In the chaos, open the barrier, just let me in. The others spread out, don’t attract attention!"

Speaking, Lin Feng’s consciousness appeared in front of the iron cage.

The moment he entered, Sha Mi sensed him and appeared instantly before Lin Feng, its shrill voice ringing out: "Annoying brat, why are you here again?"

"It’s about to start!" Lin Feng said.

"So soon? You think you can start just because you say so? When things start is up to me—Emperor Sha!"

Sha Mi spoke resentfully, still holding a grudge from the last time Lin Feng left suddenly—planning to give him a hard time.

"A Celestial Chart Demon Beast has no credibility?"

Lin Feng had no time for nonsense, knowing the more he spoke, the more Sha Mi would mess with him. So after saying this, his form dissipated and vanished before Sha Mi.

Only two sentences and he’s gone?

Leaving without its permission? So arrogant, daring to taunt it?

Sha Mi was obviously stunned for a moment, then a shrill stream of curses and maledictions rang out: "Damned brat!"

"I’ll kill you!"

"Just wait till I get out, I’ll definitely kill you!"

In the darkness, its furious roars echoed relentlessly!

Lin Feng opened his eyes—barely ten seconds had passed.

"Begin!"

"You’re seriously doing this? You’re insane!" Yu Qiao said.

"Begin. Put her to sleep!"

Lin Feng gave Yu Qiao a glance. That icy look made Yu Qiao tremble, forcing him to cut the chatter. His face turned solemn, eyes gleaming with an uncanny light as he stared at Hong Yi.

Yu Qiao was activating the [Heart Charm] soul skill.

Though not a Spirit Mage, as an Assassin, besides attack soul skills, it made sense to absorb an illusion technique as well.

This soul skill was silver grade—not high—but perfect for putting someone to sleep.

Under the influence, Hong Yi’s body wobbled a bit, her head growing fuzzy, as if drugged—drowsy and ready to pass out.

Hong Yi instinctively tried to resist the sleepy feeling.

From the moment she became a Spirit Medium, she didn’t dare sleep.

Because whenever she fell asleep, Sha Mi would take her place.

Every time Sha Mi appeared, it brought death and misfortune.

Even if she didn’t care, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Always under constant surveillance, if she closed her eyes for more than ten seconds, or even showed signs of drowsiness, someone would wake her at once—and she’d end up punished.

But ordinary punishment didn’t matter to Hong Yi. Becoming a Spirit Medium was already the cruelest torment.

The only punishment that actually hurt was anything to do with her family. Hong Tao would punish her by canceling meetings with her family.

So Hong Yi didn’t dare sleep.

In her dazed state, thoughts whirled in her mind—she almost seemed to snap out of it, until she suddenly remembered: it was Brother Feng who told her to sleep.

She was supposed to sleep!

It was safe to sleep now!

Relaxing, the moment her eyes closed, Hong Yi felt an invisible hand ripping viciously at her insides. At the same time, her limbs twisted, swelled and bulged as lumps quickly formed, like rats scurrying everywhere inside her. A mysterious power quietly emerged.

Her breathing grew weaker and weaker—seemingly on the verge of vanishing.

When the last trace of clarity disappeared—

Darkness fell.

"Scatter!"

Lin Feng ordered, and everyone quickly spread out.

"Heh heh!"

A spine-chilling, thunderous cackle rang out—like lightning splitting a person’s soul, incredibly shrill and piercing, truly petrifying.

Overhead, the six Emperor Level Demon Beasts, who had been motionless, suddenly looked down, erupting in ear-splitting roars and howls.

"Sha Mi!"

"Damn it, why is there a Spirit Medium here!"

Amid panicked cries, an enormous figure suddenly appeared, its whole body wreathed in swirling sand. A sandstorm billowed in all directions.

As it cackled, sand continuously cascaded from its body.

It looked vaguely fox-like, but far more savage. Its body glowed golden, towering some thirteen or fourteen meters high, fat and muscular, with a pointed muzzle, triangular ears, squat sturdy limbs, its body covered in strange violet runes, and on its face, large black markings shrouding its eyes.

In its immense, pitch-black eyes, there was a solitary golden pupil, emanating a murderous aura that shook the heavens. It looked up at Fei Yue, stretched out its enormous right claw, and in the center of those sharp talons, the flesh started to cave in and spiral. Slowly, a head surfaced, then a body—bit by bit taking shape.

That shape was none other than Hong Yi.

"I’m finally out again!"

Sha Mi screeched with excitement. Its golden pupil glittered as it glanced up at the sky. "Never thought there’d be six Emperor Level Demon Beasts here—fun, so much fun!"

The pressure from a Celestial Chart Demon Beast made everyone feel heavy—and even more terrifying, how did Sha Mi get here?

What was it going to do?

Before anyone could react, Sha Mi let out a howl and, from who knows where, sand surged up in waves like a yellow ocean, sweeping in all directions.

Most had no ability to resist and were immediately scattered. Though non-lethal, the confusion was instant.

At the same time, Sha Mi swung its right claw. Fine sand, like tiny bullets, shot swiftly at the sky.

At that moment, the sand became like pouring rain, dense as a curtain, madly firing up—blazing flashes and flying sparks filled the sky.

"Madman!"

Lin Feng shot Sha Mi a look—provoking six Emperor Level Demon Beasts at once?

Not afraid of being slaughtered?

In the chaos, nobody noticed Lin Feng’s squad being scattered, nor did anyone notice Lin Feng and Yang Ningbing vanishing together into a purple Barrier.

At this time, opening a barrier was the most normal thing in the world!
