Free Web NovelChapter 1883: Chapter 1882: You’re Still Alive?
Pfft.
Fiercely crashing against the wall behind them, one of the trusted aides spat out a mouthful of old blood. This was just a Gang Qi attack, yet it rendered them defenseless.
Camp Master.
Lei Ba and the others fared much better. Although they were also blown away, they weren’t nearly as pathetic. As the Vajra Gang Wind swept past, Lei Ba and the others looked ahead and gasped sharply.
In front of them, the ground was completely blasted into a large pit, resembling an inverted pyramid. The deeper it went, the higher the surrounding temperature rose, like a scorching furnace.
At the bottom, magma spurted out, directly piercing through the bedrock.
"Camp Master."
"Li Feng."
Ran Yue got up and looked into the pit where there was no sign of Li Feng. At this moment, only Shi Hao was suspended in mid-air, staring at the bubbling magma where he had punched a human underground, sneering coldly.
Shi Hao lightly tapped his toes and ascended, his arrogant face sweeping a disdainful gaze over the surrounding humans.
"Do you understand the gap now? Anyone else unconvinced, step out, and I’ll teach you how to be human."
Shi Hao’s face showed some lion mane hair. In his earlier punch, he had used Bloodline Power, and even though he took down that human with one punch, he was somewhat exhausted and couldn’t completely hide his Demon Clan features for a while.
"Are all the Demon Clan this strong?"
Ouyang Qiuhai bit her lip. Previously, at Cangshan, they had already suffered a lot, and now another Shi Hao appeared, similarly thrashing them.
This turned Ouyang Qiuhai’s world upside down. Previously in Ancestor Dragon City, she never regarded the Demon Clan, thinking if they dared come, she’d wipe out their entire family.
But now, Ouyang Qiuhai finally understood why the Demon Clan could repeatedly push Ancestor Dragon City to the brink of destruction; they were truly powerful.
And the Ten Demon Hall were utterly lackeys before the Demon Clan, no wonder those in Ten Demon Hall were willing to be henchmen.
Sikong Yu didn’t know how to respond either. If the Demon Clan weren’t strong, how could they pose such a threat to Ancestor Dragon City? They would have been exterminated long ago, yet the Demon Clan still exists to this day.
"This opponent likely isn’t just any Demon Clan member. Furthermore, the Lion Tribe is one of the strongest clans in the Southern Demon Country, with incredibly strong bloodline."
Sikong Yu spoke. At this moment, they couldn’t simply bolster the opponent’s morale, but this Shi Hao had mastered a Domain, albeit still in its infancy, but this power already greatly surpassed theirs.
Even if all of them attacked together, they might not be a match for him.
A Golden Core with a Domain and one without are two completely different concepts. A Golden Core in the middle stage with a Domain can fully contend with a late-stage Golden Core.
In other words, Shi Hao’s combat power was nearly equivalent to a late-stage Golden Core, whereas a late-stage Golden Core could easily defeat ten times the number of middle-stage Golden Cores, possibly crushing them completely.
This is a qualitative difference.
"Hmph, dreaming if you think we’ll surrender. We’d rather die than submit. Come and fight us if you dare."
Lei Ba pounded his chest, looking up at Shi Hao in the sky.
Shi Hao looked at Lei Ba with cold disdain.
"Hmph, I was only toying with you earlier; did you really think you were that strong?"
Lei Ba took a deep breath: "Shadow."
"I’m here."
"Good, I’ll create an opening for you, and we’ll take him down."
Lei Ba said, crouched to gather strength, and then shot towards Shi Hao like a cannonball. Shi Hao smirked coldly.
Without a word, he unleashed a punch in mid-air.
The Vajra Force, with overwhelming momentum, smashed into Lei Ba’s Iron Fist. As the fists collided, a cracking sound was heard the next second.
Lei Ba’s Golden Bell Shield was no match for Shi Hao’s Vajra Undying Body. Upon collision, Lei Ba was repelled the same way he had charged in.
However, Lei Ba knew he couldn’t shake Shi Hao; he was merely a decoy to enable Shadow’s move.
In mid-air, Shadow quickly repositioned behind Shi Hao.
Shadow Binding.
In an instant, Shi Hao’s shadow broke free from control, transforming into several ropes attempting to bind him.
All eyes focused on Shadow.
Raising the dagger in hand, Shadow aimed at Shi Hao’s back for a backstab. This dagger was the Fish Intestine brought by Li Feng, frequently reforged, now reborn.
Yet when this sharp Fish Intestine reached Shi Hao’s back, it seemed to strike an impenetrable metal layer, the blade’s tip just an inch from the target, yet this inch seemed an insurmountable chasm.
Hmph.
Naïve.
Shi Hao suddenly snorted coldly, his body quivered, instantly shattering the Shadow Binding. In the next moment, the Vajra Domain clinging to him abruptly expanded.
Shadow couldn’t escape in time and was enveloped by the Vajra Domain, instantly trapped like in a cage.
Within the Vajra Domain, Shi Hao could sense everything; Shadow had nowhere to hide.
Shi Hao reached out and grabbed Shadow’s neck.
"Heh, you were able to take out my Demon Cat Rogue; did you think I’d be unprepared for you?"
"Hmph, you humans always think you’re superior, seeing us Demon Clan as a bunch of muscleheads."
"Yet, your human lifespan is merely a century, your peak only two or three decades. Even as cultivators, you can’t compare to us Demon Clan; we’ve stood on earth for countless ages, our longevity several folds or dozens more than yours."
"Do you think we’re truly brainless? In the face of absolute power, we just disdain you."
"Playing such childish tricks is acceptable once, but to try again is truly underestimating me."
Holding Shadow, Shi Hao looked down with regal eyes: "Kneel and surrender, and I might spare your lives, don’t force me to crush each of your bones."
"What should we do, Sister Yu?"
Ouyang Qiuhai was at her wit’s end; she had exhausted all her trump cards and had no more options.
Sikong Yu bit her lip slightly.
"Rather die than surrender."
Activating her Vermilion Bird Bloodline, Sikong Yu soared into the sky, determined to fight even in defeat.
Shi Hao watched this unyielding Sikong Yu, lips curling into a mocking smile: "Good, I love humans like you who refuse to yield."
"Conquering such opponents gives me a greater sense of achievement."
Saying this, Shi Hao extended his left hand, beckoning at Sikong Yu.
Sikong Yu gritted her teeth, ready to fight to the death, but at that critical moment, from the pit below, where magma continuously surged, a streak of Sword Qi suddenly erupted.
The Sword Qi instantly struck Shi Hao’s Vajra Domain, shattering it abruptly, and the shockwave nearly caused Shi Hao to fall.
Sikong Yu halted, looking down to see the magma below suddenly explode, and the next moment, a figure engulfed in burning Vermilion Bird flames shot into the sky.
As the flames dissipated, Li Feng once again stood before Shi Hao.
Shi Hao steadied himself, frowning at the re-emerging Li Feng: "Oh, so you managed to survive."
Li Feng stretched his muscles, his cold eyes sweeping over to the Shadow in Shi Hao’s hand: "Release her, and I might let you die a swift death."
