Chapter 1257 - 1257: From Now On, You and I Are Brothers
Just Zheng-Fu's simple laughter was already extremely powerful. It caused the demon monster beast warlords and commanders in front of him to retreat and use up much of their energy to defend.
"Wha... what the hell is this?!"
"With such aura and energy, he's not inferior to Master!"
"Why did his energy level suddenly increase like that?! And what was that violent explosion just now?"
"Why can't I feel the life energy of those in the secret tunnel? Did that explosion just now kill them all?!"
Many questions immediately arose in the minds of the demon monster beast warlords and commanders, because what was happening was beyond their comprehension. Just now, they could see victory in front of them, but just a moment after the violent explosion, the situation had completely changed.
"The eighth test is to gather the initial Great Deity Stage demon souls, just like I guessed. Luckily, I haven't killed these guys yet, and my bomb talismans can only kill those below this stage. This way, passing the eighth test shouldn't be difficult!"
However, Zheng-Fu did not care about the changing situation and the attitude of the demon monster beast faction. He focused on the Testing Tower's remaining tests. He had to collect twenty-five initial Great Deity Stage evil demon souls to pass the eighth test.
At that time, there were hundreds of such stage demon monster beasts left underground waiting for him to kill and pass the test.
That's good!
"Then I'll deal with them now and finish it!"
[Seven Heavens' Celestial Deities Destroying Index Skill]
Whooooosh!!!
Whoosh!!!
Booooooom!!!
[Test 8/10; Completed]
Flop!
Hah!?
"Damn it! Why is it just an old, broken piece of armor? This is the eighth test! Shouldn't I deserve something better than this?!"
After Zheng-Fu killed all the severely injured initial Great Deity Staged Monster Beasts lying in a pile of rocks, his eighth test was successful, and he was rewarded with armor. However, it was in a dilapidated state, as if it could be shattered by a slight breeze. This made Zheng-Fu feel extremely upset.
He went all out using his Seven Heavens' Celestial Deities Destroying Index Skill, a skill that had originally been only at the initial Heavenly Stage, but he had developed it into the initial Deity Stage. To attack the scattered targets to complete the eighth stage of the mission, he had consumed a great deal of energy, but the reward he received was only a dilapidated piece of armor. So, of course, he was mad.
"What the hell is wrong with him?!"
"That's good! Let's take this opportunity to attack him all at once!"
Kill him!!!
Although the demon monster warlords and commanders did not know what was wrong with Zheng-Fu, seeing that this was a good opportunity to deal with him, they did not hesitate and immediately joined forces to charge Zheng-Fu with all their energy.
Hah!?
"You guys come in at the right time; I'm looking for someone to vent my anger. Come on! Be my punching bags!"
Ah!
The warlords and commanders who rushed to kill Zheng-Fu felt something strange about him again, especially his gaze, which was staring at them as if they were prey, even though they were about to kill him.
Let's start with you, you fat bear!
Blop!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ouch!!!
No! Let me go! Release me!
…………………
Bang!
Gnash! Gnash! Gnash!
"Does this mean I lost? What the hell! Why? Since I planned everything so well, why did I fail? Was it all because of that human?!"
The demon monster beast supreme commander was both upset and panicked at the same time. It thought that everything would end well as he had dreamed. But it turned out that it was the one who was completely helpless, and in the end, its troops were utterly destroyed. Even the warlords and commanders were defeated by a single human.
"Master, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for you, just you tell me!"
The last demon monster beast warlord who had been by the Supreme Commander's side all along spoke in a serious tone. It did not go out to fight with the other warlords and commanders because it was the Supreme Commander's trump card, as it had a secret skill that could help others advance their energy level, at the cost of its own life.
"Thank you very much! You've been with me for a long time, and I don't want to use this skill unless necessary. But today, to complete the mission and for the Emperor, I must have wronged you. In the next life, I'll pay you back, my comrade!"
The Supreme Commander did not want to do that at all, because he and the last warlord had been comrades who had fought together for a long time. However, at that moment, they could not turn back. If they could not complete their task, they would both die anyway. Therefore, one of them had to sacrifice. And that person was inevitably the last warlord who possessed a secret skill that could increase the energy level of others.
"It's my honor to die for you. May the blessing of the Demon Monster Beast Deity of Aguila be with you and grant you great success!"
[Secret Skill: Offering Life, Flesh, and Blood to the Demon Monster Beast Deity of Aguila]
Yaaaaaaak!!!
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Blaaaaast!!!
Auuuuugh!!!
Instantly, the last warlord's body burst by his secret skill, and then, all of his flesh, blood, and organs scattered and floated around the Supreme Commander. However, it did not take long for them to seep into his body.
Arrrrrrrgh!!!
It was a process of merging life according to that skill. It was a skill that caused extreme suffering and fear. The Supreme Commander let out a howling scream of utmost agony and pain. It was a howling sound that would likely drive those with weak minds, unable to withstand fear, to lose their sanity if they heard it.
Going back about ten minutes earlier, at the second defense line...
"Wha... what... what happened?"
"What was that explosion just now? Is the world splitting apart?!"
"But just now, I also heard the howls of the demon monster beast hordes!"
Umm!
That's right!
"I heard it too, but I didn't see a single demon monster beast. Where did those howls come from?!"
The great skilled masters of many clans who had retreated to the second defense line had many questions after hearing the loud explosions and the howls of the numerous demon monster beasts. However, they did not see any of the demon monster beast hordes except for the group of their commanders and warlords they had clashed with earlier.
That's…!
Look at that!
Hah!!?
"That's crazy! He can take down all of the demon monster beast commanders and warlords by himself?"
"Who is he? Why I have never seen him before?!"
"Where on earth are you hiding that you don't know about Young Master Zheng-Fu?! He's very famous and prominent for defeating the demon monster beast hordes that invaded our city in the first round, including many other incidents!"
"Ah! That's because I got sick in the first round of the war, so I didn't participate!"
Of course, not everyone knew Zheng-Fu. Some people might have heard of Zheng-Fu's reputation before, but they had never met him in person. Therefore, those of them did not know that the young man who was fighting the demon monster beast commanders and warlords at the first defense line was actually Zheng-Fu.
"Has he gotten stronger?"
Seeing that Zheng-Fu was able to simultaneously fight multiple demon monster beast commanders and warlords and seemed to have the advantage, Ma-Li-Wei exclaimed in shock and excitement. Although Zheng-Fu had been strong before, at that energy level, it was still difficult to deal with multiple demon monster beasts at the same time. Ma-Li-Wei guessed that Zheng-Fu must have improved and increased his energy level.
"It must be so. I cannot sense his energy level at all. Before, I could feel that he was slightly stronger than me. I think he must be much stronger now. He may be comparable to the ninth level of the Great Deity Stage."
Zi-Dong-Lei also thought the same. He knew Zheng-Fu's energy level very well and knew that Zheng-Fu was not this strong before. From his assessment, he believed that Zheng-Fu must have been no less than the ninth level of the Great Deity Stage.
Most of the people who reached that level were usually from the Demon Dynasty. They had inherited a very high energy level through their lineage, and with the vast amount of precious resources that they had accumulated for a long time, they had never encountered any difficulties in reaching that level.
"I'm fortunate that you came to talk to me first. If he had come to negotiate by himself, I think our Ma Clan would definitely be in a difficult situation!"
When Ma-Li-Wei heard Zi-Dong-Lei's explanation, he felt very grateful to the latter for summoning them to discuss Zheng-Fu's proposal before the young man came to talk to them by himself. If that had been the case, they would have felt embarrassed and would not have dared to answer at that time.
"I understand your feelings, but I believe that our decision this time will definitely benefit both of our clans in the future. Besides..., having our clan become his branch clan wouldn't cause any damage. We all know how strong and capable he is. Even our developments require his guidance."
Zi-Dong-Lei did not think that this matter would have any negative impact on him and the clan. Everyone in Zi Clan trusted and chose to walk in the same direction. And it was this strong trust and confidence in each other that has allowed them to move forward steadily all along.
Umm!
"Although my Ma Clan is not as great as Big Brother Dong-Lei's Zi Clan, I'm sure that Ma Clan has the same love and unity as your clan! Therefore, I also want to walk together with Big Brother Dong-Lei!"
Excellent!
"Then from now on, you and I are brothers, Little Brother Li-Wei!"
Big Brother Dong-Lei!
