Chapter 361: Annihilation
Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Annihilation
An elite Void Demon army, 20,000 strong, departed directly from Fengmu City and advanced toward Yunfeng City.
Marquis Mesa had readily approved Count Agustin’s request to mobilize. Fengmu City was still garrisoned by another 20,000 elite Void Demon troops and hundreds of thousands of slave warriors from various races, making it as secure as a fortress.
The number of powerhouses in the Human Race was nothing compared to the Void Demon Clan. Within the human military, a Spirit Venerable Realm powerhouse was typically a high-ranking official on the level of a lieutenant general or general. Killing one such human powerhouse was like taking out a lieutenant general. Therefore, mobilizing an army of 20,000 Void Demons was a worthwhile price to pay to hunt and kill a human Spirit Venerable.
On a wide plain leading to Yunfeng City, a convoy of Magic Energy Armored Vehicles, fully loaded with Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors, sped toward its destination, completely unguarded.
’They’re really underestimating me! They didn’t even send out scouts!’
Watching the 20,000-strong Ghost-devouring Demon army from a hilltop several miles away, Shu Feng gave a grim smile. He waved his hand and issued a cold command, "Fire!"
Ten thousand mutated Spiritual Spear Beasts suddenly appeared on the mountain. Each resembled a Spiritual Spear embedded in a fleshy mass with beast-like limbs and eight eyes.
In an instant, a dense rain of light shot out, blasting the Ghost-devouring Demon army several miles away.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
A series of terrifying explosions erupted. Magic Energy Armored Vehicles were sent flying, and Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors were torn to shreds by the horrific rain of light.
The Ghost-devouring Demon nobles, possessing astonishing Spiritual Sense, flew out from the Magic Energy Armored Vehicles and rapidly transformed, revealing their true forms.
But the next wave of light rained down upon those Ghost-devouring Demon nobles. Under the dense barrage, the Ghost-devouring Demons who had revealed their true forms were also blasted to pieces, their fragments scattering across the battlefield.
In just an instant, the area had become a brutal slaughterhouse, littered with the mangled corpses of Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors.
"Wu Ren, you damn beast!!"
A terrifying Power of Void Demon swirled around Count Agustin as he revealed his true form. Wreathed in a pitch-black Void Demon Membrane, his eyes blood-red, he stared daggers at Shu Feng, who was looking down on them from the mountaintop. He let out a roar like a wounded beast.
The ten thousand elite Void Demons under Count Agustin’s direct command had suffered devastating casualties in Shu Feng’s ambush and were nearly wiped out. Having lost his personal elite force, Count Agustin was now a general without an army, and his status within the Void Demon Clan would plummet.
"Damn you, you lowly scum!!"
Count Potagino also emerged from the dense rain of light. Staring daggers at Shu Feng on the mountaintop, his eyes brimming with endless killing intent, he roared furiously.
"Ah, so a few mongrels survived! You’re quite lucky to be alive. Scram, and I’ll spare your lives."
Standing on the mountaintop, Shu Feng looked down at the two distant Void Demon Counts, Agustin and Potagino, and sneered contemptuously.
"I’ll kill you!!"
A savage glint flashed in Count Agustin’s eyes as he suddenly erupted, transforming into a streak of black light that shot toward Shu Feng.
With a flicker of his body, Count Potagino also charged madly toward Shu Feng.
By joining forces, the two Spirit Venerable Level Void Demon Counts had a good chance of killing Shu Feng and escaping with their lives.
Dozens of Void Demon Viscounts followed, charging toward Shu Feng behind the two Counts. They were members of the Counts’ Personal Guards; if their masters died in battle, they too would face certain death.
"Fools! Fire!"
Shu Feng commanded with a cold smile.
The Tier Five Spiritual Spear Beast, the White Roarer, appeared, along with nineteen other Tier Five Spiritual Spear Beasts that had evolved from Tier Four Spiritual Spears.
Twenty dazzling beams of light blasted toward Count Agustin and Count Potagino.
’Not good!’
A sense of alarm flared in Count Agustin’s mind. He frantically channeled his Power of Void Demon, twisting his body to evade.
One beam of light struck Count Agustin’s right shoulder, shattering it instantly. Another slammed into his head, blowing it apart.
Count Potagino spread his fingers, conjuring an ink-black Defense Barrier.
A crimson beam of light struck the black Defense Barrier, pierced through it with ease, and slammed into Count Potagino’s head, blowing it apart.
The dense rain of light swept toward the dozens of Void Demon Viscounts, blasting them to smithereens in an instant and scattering their fragments across the ground.
’These Spiritual Spear Beasts are amazing! Their Attack Power is incredible! They’re even stronger than I imagined! Their only weaknesses are slow movement speed, low Defense Power, and a vulnerability to wide-area attacks. Still, they’re perfect for ambushes and positional warfare.’
’Sieges require meat shields to hold the front line, and Dragon Hunting Dogs aren’t suitable for that role.’
Shu Feng walked across the battlefield, collecting the souls from the corpses of the Ghost-devouring Demons while quietly contemplating the next battle.
Dragon Hunting Dogs possessed incredibly powerful reconnaissance abilities, and their combat power was comparable to ordinary Spirit Sect Realm Level Combat Creatures. In truth, however, their methods of attack were limited, and they were only effective in close combat. One-on-one, they were no match for a Spirit Sect Level Spiritual Spear Master.
Shu Feng’s move against Yunfeng City had been intended to lure out and annihilate the elite Void Demon legion from Fengmu City, as well as to test the power of his Spiritual Spear Beasts.
A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Time to deal with Fengmu City!’
「Inside Fengmu City.」
Shu Feng activated the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring, turning invisible as he arrived in front of a 200-meter-tall building.
’This is it! This building will serve as the perfect high ground, its range covering the Lord’s Mansion. Once I take it, I’ll have an incredibly powerful firing position.’
With a wave of his hand, Shu Feng sent a pack of Dragon Hunting Dogs charging into the skyscraper.
On the tenth floor of the skyscraper, the naked bodies of more than a dozen human women lay strewn about. Their eyes were lifeless; they were already corpses.
Dozens of other human women were crammed into cages, huddled together in terror.
Seven young nobles from the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan were toying with several human women, whose horrifying shrieks filled the air.
"Your screaming is hideous!! It’s disgusting!!"
A Ghost-eating Demon Baron sneered viciously, then reached out and grabbed one of the human women by the head. With a forceful twist, he snapped her neck.
