Free Web NovelChapter 1880: Chapter 1879: Sneak Attack
Sikong Yu quietly introduced the background of the Demon Clan in front of them into Li Feng’s ear. In the Southern Demon Country among the Four Demon Countries, it had the most tribes, and among them, quite a few were extremely powerful.
Ancestor Dragon City had fought with them many times, so naturally there was no lack of intelligence on each other.
Take this Southern Demon Country for example—its Demon Emperor was Candle Dragon Jiuying, one of the top ten Demon Ancestors. Jiuying had nine heads, a Dragon-like body, a mutated Fire attribute, and commanded the extremely yin Candle Dragon Fire.
Under Jiuying were the Eight Tribes and Ten Demon Generals, the trusted left and right hands that Jiuying relied on. The Demon Wolf Tribe Gale Family they had met at the entrance earlier was one of the Eight Tribes.
Shi Hao came from the Demon Lion Clan of Lion Camel Mountain. But unlike the Demon Wolf Tribe, which was divided into six major branches, the Demon Lion Clan of Lion Camel Mountain had a single continuous bloodline, most likely because their descendants were extremely few.
So the Demon Lion Clan had never split into other branches. Even though their population was relatively small, the Demon Lion Clan’s combat power was fierce. In the Southern Demon Country they definitely ranked in the Top Three.
Shi Hao’s gaze swept over Li Feng once, then slid over to Sikong Yu beside him. At this moment Sikong Yu was wearing tight leather armor, perfectly outlining her curvy figure without the slightest concealment.
Even with the eyes of the Demon Clan, Sikong Yu was still an outstanding beauty.
Shi Hao couldn’t help licking his lips. Human women were top-tier goods in the Demon Country; only a very small number of demons could enjoy them. Though Shi Hao came from the Demon Lion Clan of Lion Camel Mountain and carried a noble Bloodline,
he was not of the royal vein of Lion Camel Mountain and had no qualification to partake.
But today his luck was pretty good. There were actually several women in the human team opposite, and both their looks and figures were top quality. He could enjoy them first, then bring them back and sell them for a good price.
Simply delightful.
"Heh, this woman does know a lot. Since you know who we are and where we come from, then you should also know that trash like you has no power to fight back in front of your daddy."
"If you don’t want to suffer, hand her over to me along with those other women as Tribute. If they serve your daddy comfortably enough, maybe I’ll spare you a dog life."
Shi Hao hooked up the corner of his mouth and pointed at Sikong Yu as he spoke.
The surrounding demons heard Shi Hao’s arrogant words and all revealed lewd, sinister smiles.
Li Feng raised his eyes to look at the wildly arrogant Shi Hao, but asked, "Does this Demon Lion Clan have any special traits?"
Sikong Yu was somewhat ashamed and angry as well, especially at those filthy laughs from the demons, which made her burn with rage.
"The Demon Lion Clan is born with Divine Power and cultivates the Vajra Immortal Body. Their fleshly bodies are extremely tough. So even though their numbers are small, every single individual’s combat strength is terrifying. In terms of power, once they reach adulthood, members of the Demon Lion Clan can basically match a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator."
"If one of them is particularly strong and in peak condition, they can even possess combat power comparable to Golden Core Late Stage. And the Lion King of the Demon Lion Clan is one of the Ten Demon Generals under the Demon Ancestor, with battle strength comparable to Golden Core Perfection."
"But this Shi Hao in front of us should be around the Golden Core Middle Stage. Considering the Demon Clan’s naturally tough bodies, we still have to raise the estimate of his combat power by thirty percent."
Though angry, Sikong Yu still remained calm. The number of demons here was not fewer than their own side.
On her side, besides Li Feng, there were five Golden Core cultivators: herself, Ouyang Qiuhai, Lei Ba, Shadow, and Lan. Apart from that, there were more than ten at Perfect Foundation Establishment.
And the demons on the other side weren’t all on Shi Hao’s level either. Their numbers weren’t as high, but it wasn’t to the point of having no power to fight back.
"Stop whispering over there. Your daddy’s patience is limited. Hand over those women and I can spare your lives. If you’re still stubborn... hehe."
"Then don’t blame your daddy for showing you some color."
Before Shi Hao’s voice fell, a Backstab suddenly appeared out of the shadows. During the conversation between the two sides, an assassin from the Cat Demon Clan under Shi Hao’s command had already snuck up behind Li Feng.
Shi Hao’s words were the order to strike. He was not some brainless musclehead who only knew how to swing his fists.
The Sikong family of Ancestor Dragon City was known as the Vermilion Bird Family, ranked among the twenty-two First Rank families of Ancestor Dragon City. Even though this Family had declined in recent years, a thousand-year Family didn’t just collapse overnight.
Moreover, when the cat demon had been scouting earlier, it had seen Li Feng head-on clash with the Fierce Beast from the Dragon Clan outside. Clearly, this guy was a leading genius of the Sikong family.
Shi Hao could disdain them, but he would never be careless.
The Cat Demon sneaked forward in the dark without anyone noticing. These new-generation humans really were greenhouse flowers—far too tender.
Shi Hao watched the Cat Demon explode into motion, the corner of his mouth curling into a contemptuous arc.
At this distance, even if the Cat Demon couldn’t kill him outright, as long as the Dagger pierced the target’s skin, the victim would taste the horror of the Bone-Eroding Poison smeared on it. This poison was the drool from one of the Demon Ancestor’s Dragon heads, unimaginably toxic—bone that touched it would be reduced to a wisp of ash.
Just when Shi Hao thought the Cat Demon was about to succeed, a sudden change erupted.
The Shadow behind Li Feng abruptly moved. Several shadows turned into sharp arrows and shot straight at the soundless Cat Demon, instantly piercing through its body.
A ghostly cold Dagger sliced directly across the Cat Demon’s neck, and fresh blood spurted out in an instant.
Shadow struck and insta-killed the Cat Demon, then sank back into the shadow behind Li Feng, as if it had never existed at all.
Only then did the trusted aides behind Li Feng realize what had happened. Seeing the slain Cat Demon, they all sucked in a cold breath.
Standing beside Li Feng, Sikong Yu also turned her head, surprised. Even she hadn’t noticed the sudden appearance of the Cat Demon.
This Cat Demon Clan, nicknamed the Dark Shadow Clan, was best at hiding and stealth. She hadn’t sensed this Cat Demon’s approach at all.
What she had read in books, Sikong Yu had never truly felt. Only after actually encountering it did her heart inexplicably tremble. If just now the Cat Demon had targeted her instead, could she have blocked it?
The answer was obvious.
She couldn’t.
One had to know that in past wars, the Cat Demon Dark Shadow Clan had assassinated quite a few geniuses of Ancestor Dragon City and even strong experts in the army. Sometimes the threat they posed was greater than that of a normal battlefield.
Luckily, the Cat Demon that appeared here was not a Dark Shadow master of the Cat Demon Clan, just a rookie Cat Demon who’d barely stepped out into the world.
And with Shadow lurking behind Li Feng, he was a hidden trump card the enemy couldn’t anticipate. The price Li Feng had paid earlier to save Shadow was clearly paying off.
After all, while this Ice Lotus of profound ice was rare, if they kept it in their hands and never used it, it would be pointless. If they died, that would be the real loss.
The failed assassination by the Cat Demon made Shi Hao’s hooked smile freeze on his face. What the hell had just happened?
From Shi Hao’s angle, he hadn’t seen Shadow attack at all, because Shadow had remained inside Li Feng’s silhouette from beginning to end.
If he didn’t strike it was fine; once he did, it was a clean, decisive kill.
