Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 694 - 512: Strength Revealed

The Nightmare’s consciousness receded, and Lin Feng’s consciousness instantly regained control over his body."I’m back."

Lin Feng whispered.

"Heal first," Bu Yuanlong said.

If they didn’t heal him now, Lin Feng would really die.

Dong Yunan and Chen Tianming acted simultaneously, as a green mushroom appeared above Lin Feng’s head, emitting a faint green glow. At the same time, nourishing particles like fine rain fell on the green mushroom.

Under the cooperation of the two Advanced Healing Techniques, Lin Feng’s injured abdomen was rapidly regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally pale face gradually gained a hint of redness, no longer as terrifying as before.

"Are you really back? I’ll stab you to test!"

Yu Qiao asked, and as he spoke, swung his dagger, but just as the dagger was about to touch Lin Feng’s abdomen, the intense pain in his brain made his whole body shudder, and his right hand suddenly stopped.

"Damn, that really hurts."

Yu Qiao took a moment before cursing and retracting the dagger.

The contract is effective, proving that this is indeed Lin Feng before him.

"Are you doing this on purpose as revenge?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Hehe, this is a rare opportunity."

Yu Qiao chuckled.

Seeing Lin Feng return, everyone finally relaxed their tense hearts and bodies, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

Acting without hesitation just now was Lin Feng’s plan all along.

He Jun was the last line of defense, not to be used lightly.

Although sacrificial type Soul Skills are rare, they are not completely unheard of. But using a Demigod as a sacrificial offering is something never heard of before.

Whether it could succeed is another matter.

Lin Feng didn’t want to die until the very end!

So, after the Nightmare took over his consciousness, the first order of business was to bind it, making it retreat in face of difficulties being the best choice.

As a Demigod, the Nightmare’s life was far more precious than Lin Feng’s.

Lin Feng had the courage for mutual destruction, but the Nightmare did not.

Even if it did, it would not perish together with a mere human.

Having learned from this lesson, next time, without absolute certainty, the Nightmare would not dare to strike easily.

"Don’t get seriously injured so easily in the future, it’s terrifying."

Ye Xing said with some lingering fear.

Although they had prepared, it was still a truly nerve-wracking experience just now.

Even though the Nightmare had been restrained, it still put great pressure on them.

"Do you think I want to get hurt?"

Lin Feng said helplessly.

The earlier assassination was indeed perfect, they hadn’t sensed it at all, perfectly exemplifying speed and precision. Apart from releasing [Stand], he had no other options.

After releasing [Stand], he didn’t even have time to release [Illusion].

If he had a choice, how could he let the Nightmare take over his body?

Since the Nightmare took over his body, assimilation deepened once again, and he must quickly find a way to alleviate it.

After the King Becoming plan, he must make a trip to the Pure Land.

He Jun’s Demon Spirit can only terminate the problem, not solve it.

Moreover, as the Nightmare’s power increases, whether it can be threatened in the future remains to be seen.

After all, it was once a Demigod.

"Brother Feng, I’m sorry."

He Jun approached Lin Feng, his eyes still slightly red, and said with a face full of guilt, if it weren’t for saving her, Lin Feng wouldn’t have been injured, let alone been taken over by the Nightmare.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Lin Feng patted He Jun’s head, smiling.

"Although your Demon Spirit doesn’t know what it is, nor can it absorb Soul Skills, its ability is exceptional. It’s also because of you that our strength has increased so quickly. You’re the hero, what’s there to apologize for?"

"On the contrary, it’s us who have put you in danger."

He Jun’s ability will eventually be exposed; it was an expected occurrence.

Since they joined the King Becoming plan, since they entered Zhouyun City, they had already prepared for exposure.

It’s just that Lin Feng didn’t expect the danger to come so early, nor did he expect an Upper Rank Spirit King to attempt to assassinate He Jun.

This incident was indeed unexpected.

But it also served as a warning, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

"Yes, what does it have to do with you, it’s us who failed to protect you!"

Ye Xing and others said as well.

He Jun nodded and said no more, but inwardly firmed up a decision.

She may lack attack power, but she must have the ability to protect herself, or else such incidents may happen again.

"Let’s continue hunting."

Lin Feng changed out of his tattered clothes, then said.

"Brother Feng, aren’t you going to rest a bit?"

Yun Kai asked worriedly.

"No need, my external injuries and Soul Power have recovered, what is there to rest for."

Lin Feng shook his head.

He did want to rest; the fatigue in his body and mind wasn’t something two Healing Techniques could completely restore.

It’s just that now is not the time to rest, every additional Demon Beast they hunt means a few more people saved.

Yun Kai did not continue to persuade, and soon, the group flew out of the shopping mall, continuing to numb and efficiently hunt down the Demon Beasts.

This time, however, they were more cautious, with Yun Kai and Ye Qiu constantly protecting He Jun’s side.

....

As Zhouyun City was breached by the Demon Beast army, the eyes of the entire nation were focused on Zhouyun City.

Through the media, everyone knew it was an Alien Race conspiracy.

Using the lives of over a million residents within Zhouyun City to lure human powerhouses to rescue them.

These powerhouses were mainly the soon-to-be participants in the King Becoming plan, students whose strength had reached the Ninth Grade, and their helpers.

The purpose was simple, to deplete the number of human powerhouses.

To prevent the birth of a king.

The Alien Race’s conspiracy was obvious, but the high-level authorities had no means against it and could only fall for it.

Because giving up meant abandoning.

When the people’s hearts are gone, hope is gone too.

Shangjing.

The streets were crowded with people; it was getting dark, time for dinner, but no one went home. People gathered on the streets, hands clasped, looking afar towards Zhouyun City’s direction, praying silently.

"These are troubled times!"

A middle-aged man in a shirt and trousers sighed, just getting off work and yet to return home.

With the streets so congested, he had no way to go home.

Beside him were his colleagues from work. Hearing his sigh, others also wore heavy expressions, nodding in agreement.

Half a year ago, when the Shangjing Space Gate was forcibly merged, although it failed, it had already signaled the impending invasion of the Alien Race.

And now Zhouyun City was overrun by the Demon Beast army.

Who knows what will happen next.

The suffocating feeling of an approaching storm left one gasping for breath.

"How about we don’t have children?"

A young man said to his girlfriend beside him.

On hearing this ’scumbag line’, the girl wasn’t angry; she leaned on the man’s shoulder, responding gently with:

"Okay."

They had just married, striving to prepare for pregnancy.

The girl knew her husband loved children, especially girls.

He dreamed of having a daughter.

But he didn’t want his child to live in such dangerous times.

As one piece of bad news and casualty numbers came in one after another, the atmosphere in Shangjing grew more oppressive, with sobbing sounds spreading throughout the city.

Until a message arrived, alleviating the oppressive atmosphere somewhat.

People looked at each other, appearing very excited and thrilled, but somewhat in disbelief.

"The Lin Feng team slain an Upper Rank King?"

"It’s an Upper Rank Spirit King!"

"Is it true?"

"The news reported it; how could it be fake?"

"Damn, how did the Lin Feng team become so badass?"

"Lin Feng’s team has always been badass. I said they dared to join the King Becoming plan; indeed, they were hiding their strength."

Conversations filled every street corner.

A piece of news made Shangjing, the entire nation, and even the whole world boil!

"Ah!"

On the alleys and streets, people shouted to release the pent-up emotions in their hearts.

Meanwhile, receiving the news in the ongoing meeting, Zhan Tian’en’s expression was quite remarkable.

"Damn, look at my judgment!" He couldn’t help but roar, venting the excitement in his heart.

He struck it rich!

He knew the Lin Feng team hid their strength, and would surprise him in the future.

But never expected they hid so deeply, with surprises coming so suddenly and violently!

This was undoubtedly the most rewarding investment of his life.

"Any more objections?"

Zhan Tian’en stood up and asked.

Under Hong Tao’s forceful coercion, the Zhan Race continued to liquidate their assets, selling at a loss if needed.

Investing in the Lin Feng team, leaving a way out, was a family decision.

As everything was to be taken by force, investing in the Lin Feng team left a chance for future recovery.

But never did the elders expect Zhan Tian’en to be so audacious!

Just yesterday, he had exchanged an industry worth seventy billion for a Demon Spirit containing a Divine Level Soul Skill.

To them, it seemed insane, leaving no reserves for the family.

Investment was too high, with a low rate of return, and no immediate realization.

Lin Feng’s team, although full of Demon Fiends, far from warranted such investment at this stage.

Who could have thought, while they were meeting and opposing, news came that the Lin Feng team killed an Upper Rank Spirit King!

Under Zhan Tian’en’s gaze, the previously opposing clansmen sensibly kept silent.

In the face of such a record, even losing everything would be worth it.

Once Lin Feng’s team killing the Upper Rank Spirit King was confirmed, their strength could no longer be concealed.

And among them, suspected to have refined a sacrificial type Demon Spirit, He Jun became the focus of many major forces...
