Chapter 398 - 388: Demon Lord
When the appearance of the Inferior Demon truly instilled a sense of fear in the Mind-Reading Demon, the Judgment Soul Demon was no longer as relaxed as before.
Earlier, as the commander of the attack, it only needed one thought, which was to clear away the enemies in front of it as quickly as possible.
But now, the summon of the Mind-Reading Demon made it impossible for him to truly calm down and fight, after all, the two shared a servitude relationship. Although retaining absolute intelligence, from a will standpoint, the Judgment Soul Demon was already the most loyal servant of the Mind-Reading Demon.
To better control the Judgment Soul Demon, the Mind-Reading Demon would release a large-scale [Enchantment] spell for him every once in a while, so much so that the two were inseparable at this time.
The Judgment Soul Demon glanced at Flora, ignoring the enemies close at hand, instead roaring and retreating toward the nearby camp.
Flora did not give up the attack.
This was a rare opportunity!
On the vast battleground, the Judgment Soul Demon dared to expose its back to her!
Once missed, it would be difficult to find this opportunity again. More importantly, if the Judgment Soul Demon were to join with the Mind-Reading Demon, then, with one in melee combat and the other in a mental attack, both the Inferior Demon and herself would switch from being active to passive.
"No way!"
"It must die here!"
Flora’s injuries were getting more severe, but the Judgment Soul Demon in front of her was not much better off.
In fact, chasing the enemy in such circumstances was very unwise. A cornered dog will jump over the wall; no one can guarantee that a Judgment Soul Demon without retreat will not go completely berserk, because Flora felt that if she couldn’t cripple the opponent in an instant, the Judgment Soul Demon might perish together with her!
But this did not shake Flora!
She was a Master of Fist and had seen too many of her clan suffer humiliation and hardship due to weakness. If they could kill the Mind-Reading Demon, then the Cat Race would truly rise on this land.
What’s more, getting more territory and land was originally the lord’s order, no matter the reason, she could not allow the opponent to leave alive!
"Sss!"
Flora took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a surge in her chest. She held her breath, exhaustively keeping her powerful aura from dispersing at this critical moment.
A cold stream of light mercilessly shot forth, as if piercing through the void, so fast that it was too swift for the eye to catch, only leaving a faint afterimage that the nearby demons could see.
"Boom!"
Immediately followed by a heavy muffled sound that made teeth ache!
The Judgment Soul Demon, fully focused on retreat, suddenly suffered a violent impact on its spine, its feet skidding several meters on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, its face turning pale, while its bones emitted a continuous "pop" sound!
The Judgment Soul Demon’s skull was very hard, one punch shattered a few bones, but far from being fatal.
The desperate Judgment Soul Demon ignored the wounds on its back, opened its bloody mouth, and aimed to bite Flora, intent on dragging someone down with it even in death.
"Ha!"
Flora still held her breath, not letting go of the last breath she had. As the Judgment Soul Demon’s bloody mouth got closer, she lowered her body and crashed into its chin.
Several teeth flew out, as the fist and skull made contact. Even her wrist tingled with a sore numbness, but Flora couldn’t be bothered to check her injuries. Instinctively, she pinned her hands on the Judgment Soul Demon’s upper and lower jaws.
Simple and brutal!
Any technique at this moment seemed a bit redundant. Flora’s eyes were bloodshot, her feet firmly planted on the ground, using all her remaining strength, she forcefully pulled both hands apart!
"Splurt!"
With an extremely crisp sound, the Judgment Soul Demon’s head was directly torn into two halves, exerting so much force that even the brain matter splattered onto Flora’s body.
"Huff..."
After everything was over, Flora finally let out a breath. But it was this breath that seemed to take away all of her strength, and she immediately collapsed to the ground.
At this time, Flora found herself in an incredibly dark scene, as if everything around her disappeared, leaving only her sitting there, bitterly struggling every moment, her teeth gritting with loud sounds, the heat within her growing more intense. Maybe it would be this second, or the next, when she would be completely consumed by this scorching heat...
The intense pain, sticking to her like a maggot attached to bone, left Flora without the strength to even move a finger, just sitting there on the ground.
Fortunately, the battle with the Judgment Soul Demon just now had been so brutal that the nearby lesser demons dared not approach. Moreover, with the Mind-Reading Demon’s call for help, the originally ambushed demons became even more panicked. At this time, who would have had the time to concern themselves with Flora, instead desperately running toward the camp.
At this moment, Flora’s heart was pounding like a fish plummeting down a waterfall, the blood in her veins rampaging like a released tiger, even the fine hairs on her back standing upright and trembling.
It was a wonderful feeling.
It was as if she didn’t even need to look with her eyes, just by feeling, she could detect what was happening around her.
Flora clenched her left hand tightly, exerting so much force that it made creaking noises, then threw a punch forward, only realizing what had happened to her body when she felt the rush of wind from the punch.
Flora’s eyes fell into a moment of deep thought, as at that instant she punched forward, she clearly felt a surge of energy erupting.
She...
Had finally taken the last step forward.
Reached the Gold rank.

"in..."
A roar sounded in the distance, an Inferior Demon standing on the city wall, with what looked like root-like nerves at the corner of its mouth, but the imposing and cold Mind-Reading Demon was nowhere to be seen.
Wild roars echoed all round.
The nearby demons wore evidently dazed expressions, as they had just clearly seen their leader, the powerful Mind-Reading Demon, swallowed whole by the Inferior Demon.
The Inferior Demon’s throat rolled as if making a swallowing motion, and the root-like ends at its mouth had disappeared without a trace. It used all its strength to roar again, then directly spread its wings.
It cast ferocious eyes around it, a single Dragon Breath instantly killed off dozens of Timid Demons.
"in...ou..."
The demons were scared, without the Mind-Reading Demon, they had no courage to confront the Inferior Demon. At this moment, some demons put down their weapons, as if worshiping, bowing towards the Inferior Demon.
They were frightened.
So they chose to surrender.
Compared to the scheming of the Human World, territory in the Abyss was actually quite easy to seize. Compared to the process of fighting, the demons were more concerned with the outcome.
Flora and the Inferior Demon had defeated the Mind-Reading Demon, making them the new masters of this land.
At this very moment, Chen Feng had a truly meaningful stronghold in the Abyss.
