Chapter 2114: Battle

Chapter 2114 -2112: Battle

The night was as serene as water.

Li Feng, who had left the main camp early, glanced at the sky. The Phoenix Flame within him rapidly enveloped his body, his Phoenix Wings spread out, and he leapt into the air, charging swiftly towards the Fire Phoenix Camp.

In about half a quarter of an hour, Li Feng appeared above the Fire Phoenix Camp. At this time, the camp was still lit, campfires burning everywhere, and the surroundings were filled with Demon Clan warriors.

“Isn’t that Lord Feng Yang?”

“Hmm, Phoenix Fire Wings, who else could it be but him? He’s back, which means we won’t be sent to the battlefield.”

Some of the Demon Clan members also became excited upon hearing this.

Boom.

Li Fengtu plunged headfirst into the camp, and the ensuing blaze engulfed the nearby tents. The Demon Clan warriors around saw Li Feng, but at this moment he was covered in blood, seemingly having gone through a fierce battle.

Struggling, Li Feng climbed up from the ground, and the great commotion alerted the Fire Phoenix Guard. Shortly after, they arrived, and Chong Xuan reached the scene as well.

“Did you see?”

“Yes, Lord Feng Yang is engulfed in flames, seems like he fought someone.”

The news of Li Feng being gravely injured and bloodied quickly spread through the camp, prompting all the Demon Clan warriors to speculate on what had happened.

They didn’t have to wait long; unusual actions began at the central area of the Fire Phoenix Camp, as the Fire Phoenix Guard rapidly deployed throughout the camp.

“Boss Xiong, we heard someone spreading the rumor that Lord Feng Yang is seriously injured, is it true?”

“Yes, Lord Feng Yang is our pillar, he can’t have anything happen to him.”

The nearby Demon Clan chatted animatedly.

“Everyone shut up, I am here to deliver commands, listen closely.”

“It is true that Lord Feng Yang is injured. He was schemed against by petty villains, attacked by seven or eight Demon Kings from the Lion Clan, Wolf Clan, and Bull Clan, barely escaping to return to the camp.”

“What, the Demon Kings from the three clans attacked Lord Feng Yang, what’s going on?”

The Demon Clan below was in an uproar.

“Quiet, Lord Feng Yang has been too prominent lately, aggressively recruiting lower-tier tribes, clearly affecting the interests of the Eight Tribes. Thus, the Three Marshals drew him away to ambush him; thankfully, Lord Feng Yang has the Phoenix Undying Body and managed to break through the siege.”

“Though Lord Feng Yang returned first, the Demon Kings from the three clans are coming quickly, and soon, forces will be dispatched to besiege our Fire Phoenix Camp.”

With the message conveyed by the Fire Phoenix Guard, the surrounding Demon Clan erupted further.

“What should we do now?”

“Indeed, even if we want to leave now, we can’t; the surrounding is all monitored by the Wolf Cavalry.”

“Now it’s clear, the Three Marshals never intended to spare us; they schemed against Lord Feng Yang while also sending us to assault the First Line Pass, using the Human Clan to eliminate us.”

“Boss Xiong, what does Lord Feng Yang intend to do, just endure quietly?”

Some Demon Clan members began to shout defiantly.

“Yes, why should we let ourselves be slaughtered? As long as Lord Feng Yang leads us, we’ll fight them.”

“Lord Feng Yang’s intention is for those willing to leave to do so. If you are willing to follow him, prepare to head to the central camp. Lord Feng Yang will use his remaining strength to enhance everyone’s Demon Body, then lead us to charge out.”

“I’m in.”

“Me too.”

A group of excited Demon Clan warriors moved towards the central camp, at this moment, due to successive sacrifices, only three to four thousand Demon Clan members remained in the camp, a stark contrast to the previous hundred thousand.

Though the numbers were reduced, it was easier for Li Feng to control.

Then, Li Feng directly wielded the power of the Vermilion Bird to commence the bloodline enhancement of these rabble, pulling them onto his chariot and bolstering their strength.

The Demon Clan is fundamentally based on bloodline and physique, so Li Feng’s Phoenix Fire refining significantly boosts the Demon Clan. Except for those particularly bad at combat, most Demon Clan members undergo a shift in quality.

It must be realized the lower-tier Demon Clan are not lacking combat, with life’s worth close to nothing for survival resources, limited by their bloodline ceiling that hinders them from achieving stronger powers.

Li Feng’s Phoenix Flame directly shattered this ceiling, raising the upper limits of these Demon Clan members, a reason the Three Marshals resolved to eliminate Li Feng.

After all, allowing Li Feng to continue in the Fire Phoenix Camp could transform half of the million-strong Demon Clan army into the Fire Phoenix Army.

No Demon Clan could resist the allure of bloodline enhancement, especially when Li Feng uplifts Demon Clan members in hundreds, raising a thousand within a day.

But evidently, the Three Marshals underestimated Li Feng; a thousand was Li Feng’s displayed limit, while he could elevate many more, as enhancing lower-tier Demon Clan members doesn’t cost much Phoenix Flame.

Residing with the Vermilion Bird, Li Feng never lacks Flame Energy, even disdaining the excessive power of the Vermilion Bird, fearing his body might burst; using this power was his earnest desire.

At once, the same species of Demon Clan were sorted into batches, entering the underground chamber before, and subsequently, batches of Demon Clan warriors with the Phoenix Flame Mark emerged.

Chong Xuan began organizing these Demon Clan warriors outside; once a hundred were gathered, a Centurion was selected, for several hundred they appointed a Chiliarch, commissioning over two hundred trusted aides who followed Li Feng earlier as deputies, conveying orders.

Weapons and armor were brought out and distributed, thus arming these Demon Clan. With time, a revamped Fire Phoenix Army was born.

These thousands, due to prior operations, already amassed enough grievances and dissatisfaction against the three great camps. In the afternoon, they held their ground against the Human Clan, even forcing the Three Marshals to back down, undeniably uniting their hearts.

“All along, I’ve been striving to revive my Fire Phoenix Clan, for which I dared not defy the Demon Marshal’s commands, no matter how irrational they were.”

“I, Feng Yang, just wanted to accomplish great deeds, to restore my clan’s glory. Yet, the Three Marshals feared losing their authority, resorting to stabbing me in the back, even sacrificing you warriors loyal to me to die at the First Line Pass.”

“How dare they dictate our life and death.”

“Tonight, I, Feng Yang, will say no to them; we, the Fire Phoenix Clan, will never bow down. I will show those high and mighty Eight Tribes that our fate is determined by ourselves.”

With those words, the Phoenix Flame ignited around Li Feng, his wings outspread.

“Ignite your blood, fight.”

“Fight.”

Numerous fervent Demon Clan warriors activated their bloodline, demonic power flaming with the Phoenix Flame, instantly, a strength beyond their own surged through their bodies. ℯℯ𝑙.

“Fight.”

More and more Demon Clan joined in, their voices thunderously unified, overwhelming even the concealed array that couldn’t block out the sound.

“What’s that commotion?”

Catch sight of the Fire Phoenix Camp, the Wolf Riders nearby lifted their heads.

“Hmph, these cannon fodder think Lion Commander relent and allow them arrogance. Watch, they’ll all die eventually.”
