Chapter 639: Ghost Demon King

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Ghost Demon King

"He colluded with the Void Demon Clan! He betrayed our world and must be killed!"

The Snake of Fear’s gaze swept over Angelina, and a cruel smile formed on his lips. As an Evil God, his purpose was to spread death and fear; he relished seeing the pain and despair of others.

Angelina’s slender frame trembled. She looked at Shu Feng, her eyes pleading.

Although Lion King Laps had betrayed Angelina, intending to capture her alive and offer her to the Wolf Demon King as a stepping stone for his evolution, she was kind-hearted by nature. Ultimately, she couldn’t bear to see her own father die a wretched death.

Shu Feng said calmly, "Leave him to me. Of course, I can destroy his magic power pathways and turn him into a commoner. For someone like him, that should be the greatest punishment."

’If it weren’t for Angelina, I would have killed Lion King Laps without a second thought,’ Shu Feng considered. ’That way, I could have even gained some Magic Power and Free Points.’

However, since Angelina wanted Lion King Laps to live, Shu Feng didn’t mind sparing him.

A frigid glint flashed in the Snake of Fear’s eyes. "Kill him," he said, his voice cold as ice. "That’s the rule! Kahn, are you trying to break the rules?"

Shu Feng said calmly, "Divine Spirits are forbidden from casually hunting Divine-level Professional Skill Users. That is also a rule. Snake of Fear, you were the one who broke the rules first."

Divine Spirit-level powerhouses are not permitted to hunt mortals at will. This wasn’t just a rule established by the Snake of Fear and the Skill God; it was also a fundamental restriction imposed by the World Origin.

If the Snake of Fear and the Skill God, two Divine-level powerhouses, were to go on a rampage, it would only be a matter of time before they wiped out all intelligent life on the Andoras World. According to the unique Laws of the Andoras World, slaughtering all of its intelligent beings would, in fact, make the two of them even stronger.

The only reason the Snake of Fear and the Skill God hadn’t done so was the restriction from the World Origin. If they were to wantonly slaughter the world’s native lifeforms, they would suffer a backlash from the World Origin. Their Divine Format would degrade, they would lose their divine authority, and they would be reduced to Demigods.

Furthermore, under this backlash from the World Origin, the two Divine Spirits would also lose the ability to evolve by killing other intelligent life and absorbing their Life Energy.

It was because of these various restrictions that the Snake of Fear and the Skill God had established their rules in the first place.

The Snake of Fear gave a grim smile, his eyes glinting with bloodlust and savagery. "Kahn, you will pay the price for the decision you’ve made today!"

The Skill God extended an invitation. "Kahn, would you be interested in visiting my Divine Kingdom as a guest?"

A strange light flashed in Angelina’s eyes.

To be a guest in the Skill God’s Divine Kingdom was the dream of every living being. Legend had it that the Skill God’s Divine Kingdom was home to countless peerless beauties and filled with all manner of rare and exotic flora. Its rivers were said to flow with incomparably sweet Honey Wine.

Only the Saintesses who had dedicated their entire lives to the Skill God, along with generations of Popes, Archbishops, Holy Knights, and Fanatics, were worthy of entering the Skill God’s Divine Kingdom after death to continue their service.

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Skill God, I have other matters to attend to. Once they are resolved, I will be sure to pay a visit to your Divine Kingdom."

The Skill God could have killed the Wolf Demon King himself, evolving to become even more powerful. But since Shu Feng had been the one to slay the Wolf Demon King, the god was forced to negotiate. Still, if an opportunity to eliminate Shu Feng arose, He would surely take it.

"You think you can all just leave?"

An incomparably strange voice suddenly echoed from within Lion King Laps’s body.

"No! Don’t! Stop it!"

A look of utter despair flashed in Lion King Laps’s eyes. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his body twisted into a grotesque shape, and a ceaseless torrent of Void Demonic Qi erupted from within him.

"Father!"

The color drained from Angelina’s face, and she charged toward Lion King Laps.

Seeing this, the Snake of Fear simply showed a mocking smile, making no move to stop her.

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed. With a flicker, he appeared in front of Angelina and held her back.

Angelina’s eyes were bloodshot. "Kahn, let me go!" she screamed. "I have to save my father!"

Shu Feng’s expression was grave. "It’s too late! He’s already dead! His soul has been consumed and replaced by another entity. In other words, the power of a Void Demon King has corrupted him and turned him into a puppet!"

A Void Demon King at full strength has power comparable to a Divine Spirit; each one possesses a terrifying might unimaginable to mortals. Since Lion King Laps had colluded with a Void Demon King, it wasn’t surprising that a hidden trap had been laid for him.

In the span of a few breaths, Lion King Laps transformed. He became a two-meter-tall powerhouse of the Ghost Demon Clan, complete with Ghost Horns, a hideous, demonic face, and a domineering aura.

"Ghost Demon King! So you were the one who tempted Lion King Laps, causing him to fall and collude with the Wolf Demon King!"

The moment the Skill God saw the Ghost Demon Clan powerhouse, his gaze sharpened. He had seen through the creature’s origins in an instant.

This was none other than the Ghost Demon King, ruler of the Ghost Demon Country, one of the Five Great Demon Kingdoms of the Andoras World.

Over the long eons, the Two Great Divine Spirits—the Skill God and the Snake of Fear—had fought against the Demon Kings of the Five Great Demon Kingdoms countless times. They could never mistake the soul auras of the Five Great Demon Kings.

Angelina’s eyes were blood-red as she roared in a frenzy, "Ghost Demon King! It was you! You’re the one who killed my father! I’m going to kill you! I swear I’ll kill you!"

"Divine Swordswoman Angelina! Your father cooperated with us of his own free will. Had he fulfilled his end of the bargain, we would have naturally transformed him into a Void Demon Duke!"

"A pity he failed. He didn’t capture you alive and offer you to us! Therefore, he had to pay the price. That price was his life."

"As for you... you want to kill me? How laughable! Even if you spent a lifetime honing your Swordsmanship, you couldn’t even harm a single hair on my head!"

The Ghost Demon King shot Angelina a glance and sneered.

Shu Feng stepped forward, shielding Angelina. He stared at the Ghost Demon King and said icily, "Ghost Demon King, did you come here just to let me slay your puppet and use it as fuel for my evolution?"

The puppet avatar that the Ghost Demon King had created from Lion King Laps’s body had, at most, the combat power of an ordinary Divine-level Professional Skill User. Before Shu Feng, it was utterly defenseless.

Even Angelina could probably slay this puppet avatar of the Ghost Demon King.

The Ghost Demon King smiled faintly. "No, I came here first and foremost to thank you for slaying that fool, the Wolf Demon King. Now, when we carve up the world, there’s one less person to split it with!"
