Chapter 375: Great Victory
Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Great Victory
The black pillar of light slammed into Shu Feng, instantly engulfing him. A dark aura, filled with a terrifying corrosive Power, immediately consumed him.
At that instant, one of the Dragon Hunting Dogs inside his Base Space exploded, dissolving into countless bizarre puddles of pus that splattered across the ground.
Shu Feng’s body flickered. He broke free from the black pillar of light and reappeared twenty meters away.
’I died again! It’s been a long time since anyone was able to kill me. These Void Demon Dukes really are ruthless!’
A cold glint flashed through Shu Feng’s eyes. With a single thought, he summoned the Famous Gun Beast, Illusion Dragon, and fired directly at the Dark Great Serpent, which was radiating a dark, Evil Aura.
Illusion Dragon Strike!
A terrifying pillar of light, imbued with an endless Illusory Fluctuation, blasted toward the Dark Great Serpent radiating its Evil Aura.
The Dark Great Serpent opened its mouth and fired a black pillar of light, which collided with the beam imbued with the Illusory Fluctuation.
The two terrifying pillars of light clashed in mid-air, canceling each other out until they both vanished.
Just then, from above Liuguang City, a dense barrage of light beams rained down upon the Dark Great Serpent’s body, creating countless ripples and kicking up clouds of black mist.
The Dark Great Serpent’s body trembled, and its black pillar of light collapsed, revealing Duke Vano’s true form.
"Retreat!!"
Duke Vano coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flickered, and he transformed into a streak of black light to flee into the distance.
"Retreat!! Fall back!!"
The other two Void Demon Dukes shouted a sharp command and retreated hastily.
The Demon Turtle Barrier War Chariots quickly scattered in all directions, fleeing in a mad dash.
Shu Feng frowned slightly. ’So decisive! Every one of these Void Demon Dukes is a cunning old fox. They’re tough to deal with!’
Seeing they were outmatched, the three Void Demon Dukes had decisively chosen to retreat. If they had insisted on pressing the attack, Shu Feng was fairly confident he could have kept all of them from leaving.
The Famous Gun Beast, Illusion Dragon, glowed brightly, continuously blasting the Demon Turtle Barrier War Chariots that had deployed their Barriers, shattering them one after another.
Countless beams of light rained down, seizing the opportunity to kill the Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors who had emerged from the Demon Turtle Barrier War Chariots.
After more than a hundred Demon Turtle Barrier War Chariots were destroyed, the remaining Ghost-devouring Demon Warriors swiftly fled into a nearby forest, disappearing from the Famous Gun Beast Illusion Dragon’s line of sight.
"A great victory! We won!!"
"Wonderful! We won! We survived!!"
"Long live Lord Fang Long! Long live Lord Shu Feng!!"
"..."
Cheers erupted throughout Liuguang City. All the surviving Fang Clan Warriors were ecstatic. They had managed to survive even after losing their Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower.
"Shu Feng...!"
Overjoyed, Fang Long started walking toward Shu Feng, only to see him leap down from the city wall to the ground outside.
Three thousand Dragon Hunting Dogs appeared and began to sweep the battlefield. They collected the Demon Spears from the fallen Void Demons and the Storage Rings from the various Void Demon Nobles, delivering them all to Shu Feng.
The Void Demon corpses could be used as resources to create other Synthetic Beasts, while their Demon Spears could be synthesized into Demon Spear Beasts. Moreover, the Storage Rings of the Void Demon Nobles contained many valuable treasures, some of which were even Source Energy Treasures—opportunities Shu Feng would never pass up. He had taken a great risk to rescue Fang Long, partly because Fang Yao was in Liuguang City, but also because hunting Void Demons allowed him to acquire more resources to expand his forces.
Fang Yao walked over and witnessed the scene, rendered speechless. ’This guy... he’s so shamelessly greedy!’
Fang Long let out a hearty laugh, not bothered in the slightest. "Haha! He deserves all of it! Without Shu Feng, we’d all be dead by now!"
When the Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower collapsed, Fang Long had been filled with Despair. If Shu Feng hadn’t used the Famous Gun Beast, Illusion Dragon, to kill Duke Balverly in a single shot, all of Liuguang City might have fallen by now.
That evening, a grand victory banquet was held throughout Liuguang City.
After the banquet, Shu Feng headed back to his room.
"Hm?"
Shu Feng suddenly looked up toward a large tree.
Perched on a large tree nearby was a black crow. It spread its wings, flew down from the tree, and hovered in front of Shu Feng. It then spoke, "As expected of Shu Feng, you were actually able to detect my presence. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Servant Demon of Duke Americk of the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan. I’ve come to propose a trade."
Shu Feng asked coolly, "What kind of trade?"
"I can give you the Ghost Demon Clan’s military deployments and all sorts of intelligence. In exchange, please hand over the twenty thousand Fang Clan Warriors in Liuguang City to us."
"With the Ghost Demon Clan’s military deployments and intelligence, you will surely be able to break their defensive lines, rescue the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Qianyuan Republic Expeditionary Army, and become the savior of the Qianyuan Republic."
"With such an achievement, it wouldn’t even be impossible for you to become the Prime Minister of the Qianyuan Republic one day!" the crow Servant Demon added in a tempting tone.
"I cannot betray my master, so there’s no point in discussing the betrayal of the Fang Clan. However, I am very interested in the Ghost Demon Clan’s military deployments."
"Duke Americk, I have already dealt a heavy blow to your Devouring Ghost Demon Clan. You’ve lost three Dukes alone, over a million slave warriors, and hundreds of thousands of your elite troops."
"If I’m not mistaken, you no longer have the strength to continue your invasion of the Qianyuan Republic’s territory. If the Ghost Demon Clan were to abandon their siege of the Qianyuan Republic Expeditionary Army now, their forces on the Void Demon Battlefield would far surpass your own."
"If they don’t suffer heavy losses, things will get very difficult for you on the Void Demon Battlefield, won’t they? So, give me the military deployments and intelligence on the Ghost Demon Race. I will make sure they suffer those heavy losses. It would be a win-win situation, don’t you think?"
"Oh, and one more thing. Before I leave, I need you to guarantee the safety of the Liuguang Territory. Have your people who are occupying the Star Dragon Territory withdraw. Otherwise, if I have to attack, it will only lead to losses for both of us."
Shu Feng stared at the black crow, a fiery glint in his eyes, his voice like a Demon’s whisper.
"You’ve got a lot of nerve. But you’re right, it is a win-win situation. I wish you good luck!"
The black crow suddenly grinned. With a puff of black smoke, it vanished, and a black Gemstone fell into Shu Feng’s hand.
The moment Shu Feng closed his hand around the black Gemstone, a flood of information about the Ghost Demon Clan poured out of it and into his mind, revealing many of their secrets on the Void Demon Battlefield.
