Chapter 629: Slaying Oko

Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Slaying Oko

The entire underground plaza radiated a malevolent, bizarre, and cruel aura.

At least five hundred people had died tragically in this plaza.

Shu Feng’s gaze swept across the area, landing on the corpses of dozens of beastman children. His expression instantly darkened, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

Shu Feng snapped Oko’s jaw back into place and said coolly, "Oko, is there anything you wish to explain?"

Oko smirked, completely unfazed. "The people I killed here were all slaves I bought and paid for. A slave owner has the right to dispose of his own slaves. They are my property. How I choose to deal with my property is my freedom. What right do you have to condemn me? In any kingdom, isn’t it perfectly normal for nobles to torture and kill slaves for amusement?"

The Andoras World was at a medieval level of civilization and was being corrupted by the Void Demon Realm. Void Demonic Qi poured ceaselessly from the Void Demon Realm, filling this world with all sorts of Demons and causing a latent cruelty to fester in the hearts of many people.

Quite a few nobles enjoyed torturing and killing slaves for sport.

While establishing the Wind Kingdom, Shu Feng had discovered many such depraved nobles. He had them all eliminated without hesitation.

Normally, Shu Feng’s simple and brutal methods would have certainly provoked a backlash from the nobles. However, only after he consecutively wiped out more than a dozen Great Noble families and seized their lands did they learn to behave.

Even so, Shu Feng knew that among the nobles who had pledged allegiance to him, there were probably still some who enjoyed torturing and killing slaves.

Gray and his companions glared at Oko, their faces filled with rage, but they couldn’t find the words to refute him.

Oko chuckled. "I violated the kingdom’s laws, so I’ll just pay the fine."

Slaves were considered the private property of their masters, no different from pigs, dogs, cattle, or horses. In the Beastman Kingdom, the law stipulated that the fine for a master killing a slave was merely a bag of rice.

"Oko, I detest people like you most of all! So, you can die now!"

Shu Feng’s eyes were like ice. With a single slash of his sword, a black Sword Aura shot downward.

’How could he dare to kill me!?!’

Oko’s head flew high into the air, his eyes wide with disbelief. Blood gushed from the stump of his neck.

Oko was the Third Prince of the Beastman Kingdom. Even if Shu Feng had proof that he was performing sacrifices to a Void Demon King, he would have had to submit the evidence to the Holy City. Only after a verdict from the Pope could the death sentence be carried out, and even then, only in the Holy City itself.

The journey from the Beastman Kingdom to the Holy City was nearly ten thousand kilometers, and countless things could happen along the way. Lion King Laps would not dare to openly defy the Pope’s decree, but it was entirely possible he would resort to some underhanded tricks in secret.

For Shu Feng to kill Oko so directly would absolutely incite the hostility of the Beastman Kingdom.

"Demon King Statue, shatter!"

Shu Feng looked at the statue of the Wolf Demon King. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he slashed with his sword.

A terrifying Storm Sword Aura materialized and slashed wildly toward the statue of the Wolf Demon King.

"How dare you!! You lowly insect!!"

An incredibly terrifying wave of Void Demonic Qi erupted from the statue of the Wolf Demon King. A blood-red light flickered in its eyes as it unleashed a terrifying aura comparable to a Divine-level Professional Skill User. Its palm, wreathed in a horrifying Demon Light, swatted directly at the Sword Aura.

After numerous evil rituals and blood sacrifices, the statue of the Wolf Demon King now possessed terrifying power, comparable to that of a Divine-level Professional Skill User.

The terrifying Storm Sword Aura struck the statue of the Wolf Demon King, producing the ear-splitting shriek of metal being torn apart.

The statue of the Wolf Demon King was instantly sliced in two. Vile, foul-smelling black blood spewed from the statue, splattering all over the ground.

’So strong! So this is His Majesty Kahn, King of the Wind Kingdom—the man known as the second-strongest expert below the Divine Spirits!’

Seeing this, Gray and his companions had looks of utter shock in their eyes.

After killing Yimas, the Void Demon King of the Void Eye, defeating the Elf Queen, and slaying a Void Demon Duke, Shu Feng had come to be known as the second-strongest expert below the Divine Spirits.

In the Andoras World, the widely acknowledged number one expert below the Divine Spirits was the Pope, who served the Skill God.

Over the past few decades, more than ten Void Demon Dukes had infiltrated the Andoras World. Over ninety percent of them had met a tragic end at the hands of the Pope.

The Pope wielded three Divine Artifacts bestowed by the Skill God: the [Divine Crown], the [Divine Scepter], and the [Divine Robe].

Elf Queen Christine was already pushed to her limits just by using a single Divine Artifact. The Pope, however, could wield all three Divine Artifacts simultaneously. His combat power was heaven-defying; not even a Void Demon King would dare to underestimate him.

’Power Divinity +1!’

Shu Feng tossed the shattered statue of the Wolf Demon King into the Resource Dissolving Pool, obtaining one unit of Divinity.

A strange, evil, and inscrutable light began to emerge from the bizarre magic array. Terrifying streams of the Power of Void Demon were drawn from the array, spreading out in all directions.

"This feels awful! What in the world is happening?"

Gray said, his expression changing abruptly.

Qinla’s elegant brow furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes. "Oko... what has he done? This magic array feels incredibly evil and bizarre! I have a bad feeling about this. We have to stop it from activating."

’This magic array... it looks like a large-scale one!’

Shu Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the strange and evil magic array. Although he had Lower God Level Mastery of Flame Magic and was extremely proficient with it, he was completely clueless when it came to this kind of ritual magic.

"This is a large-scale sacrificial ritual magic. Once the sacrifice is complete, it will activate, drawing on the surrounding Power of Void Demon to open a Void Demon Gate."

"This is merely one part of a large-scale sacrificial ritual magic. The ritual is already complete. Once it activates, it cannot be reversed."

The mysterious Bai emerged from the side and said.

"Whatever this magic is, destroying it can’t be the wrong move!"

Shu Feng gave a cold smile and slashed with his sword, unleashing a terrifying Storm Sword Aura that swept out in all directions.

Under the terrifying assault of the Storm Sword Aura, the grotesque white bones and the tower of skulls were all shattered into countless fragments that scattered everywhere.

However, the converging Void Demonic Qi slithered like a snake into the earth below.

Bai smiled slightly. "Interesting! This sacrificial ritual magic is more complex than it seems! It has other phases. Kahn, interested in joining forces to see where this ritual leads?"
