Chapter 566 - 53: The Real Siege
The sudden appearance of these figures around him shocked Chen Feng.
It wasn’t for any other reason than that his perception had clearly been enhanced. He could even sense the Frost Giant Earthworm more than ten meters below the beach. Within his explored range, nothing could escape his detection.
But now, when this golden aura was unleashed, Chen Feng hadn’t anticipated it at all. He could sense even hermit crabs, yet couldn’t detect a few living people. This situation was truly bizarre.
"Is it the fog?"
With a calm expression, Chen Feng gazed at the mist ahead, pondering.
"You must be Chen Feng, and it was you who, on a fabricated pretext, killed Li Hongyi! Just moments ago, you were able to sense something, proving you’re no ordinary character. If allowed to develop here, you’ll indeed become a significant threat!"
Lin Tianxiu’s aged voice reached Chen Feng’s ears, somewhat gentle, yet within that gentleness was a deeply weary feeling that rendered one powerless.
"You could have advanced slowly, but young people always have limited vision, not knowing how to hide their sharpness, and you directly killed Li Hongyi in one move. What a pity, such a pity. If given a choice, I wonder if you would regret it?"
Lin Tianxiu also understood how to wield power, trying to defeat Chen Feng by means of psychological oppression.
This is merely a common psychological suggestion, destroying a person from their will, which in battle, can achieve a multiplied effect.
Hearing Lin Tianxiu prattling as if he were concerned about him, Chen Feng chose to ignore it, then turned his gaze to Shi Xiong beside him, staring at him motionlessly.
Besides Su Tan, these three people were the leading figures of the entire Gorge Gate. Chen Feng had calculated many scenarios for battle, except he hadn’t expected these people to come to confront him personally.
"Shi Xiong, why are you here? It’s true I killed your subordinates, but I also let you take revenge. Now you come before me again, are you planning to break your word?" Chen Feng stared at Shi Xiong, a hint of accusation flickering in his eyes.
As for Lin Tianxiu, Chen Feng chose to ignore him altogether. To that old man, it was like punching cotton, with absolutely no force exerted.
"Our grievances have been settled, but because of your selfishness, you colluded with Yan Xiu to create dozens of bloody incidents at the Gorge Gate. You are not welcome here. You, a bringer of death, should pay the appropriate price!"
Shi Xiong, hearing Chen Feng’s accusation, showed little change in expression. Instead, he laughed loudly, listing several heinous crimes of Chen Feng’s, as if killing Chen Feng would rid the public of a great evil and restore the blue skies over the Gorge Gate.
"Executioner?" Chen Feng sneered, feeling a surge of anger rise within but suppressing it instantly, his eyelids lifting slightly with repeated cold smiles.
The crowd stood quietly by, unmoving, merely frowning as if waiting for him to speak.
"You speak nicely, but you’re just afraid of my power, worried that I’ll join forces with Yan Xiu to gain a foothold here and disrupt your influence. But, do you have the ability to suppress me?" Chen Feng retracted his smile after sneering, yet his cheeks showed deep coldness.
Beside him, Chen Ligang, who had not spoken, stepped forward. Standing over two meters tall, he was like an iron tower. At this moment, he looked down at Chen Feng in a condescending manner and said, "Regarding your question, we admit that you are indeed a threat. That’s why from the start, we never intended to underestimate you. With the three of us joining hands, do you think you can escape?"
"And..." Chen Ligang extended his voice, saying sternly, "We’re not afraid to tell you, the mist is the signal. Our large forces are already attacking Yan Xiu, and your puppet, on whom you’ve spent so much effort, may not last long."
The series of confrontations was all to destroy Chen Feng’s confidence. Unfortunately for them, from beginning to end, Chen Feng maintained a pathological calmness. Whether being ambushed or facing attacks on Yan Xiu’s forces, to him, it seemed as though it had no impact.
The three exchanged glances; regardless of strength, just this mindset alone was beyond ordinary people. Indeed, the decision to unite was the most correct. Having such a figure at the Gorge Gate was always a threat to them!
Although uncertain about what Chen Feng relied on to remain calm, they believed it was merely a façade. Since their power matched Chen Feng’s, as the top combat forces of the Gorge Gate, even if Chen Feng had earth-shattering strength, he could only meet his end here.
"Of course, we’re not leaving you without a chance. As long as you leave behind your warship and weapons, and then take your people out of here, perhaps we can still offer you a way out." Lin Tianxiu, still unhurried and calm, spoke, covertly trying to instill fear by demanding Chen Feng surrender his equipment, revealing malicious intent.
From start to finish, Lin Tianxiu spoke in the manner of an elder advising Chen Feng, pretending to take Chen Feng’s well-being into account, but his real intention was to weaken Chen Feng’s willingness to fight since holding onto some hope would prevent full prowess.
By now, Chen Feng had stopped ignoring Lin Tianxiu. It was like walking down the street with a mad dog constantly barking at you. Initially, he didn’t pay attention, inadvertently stoking its more aggressive behavior.
Let me go?
Since when does an old dog deserve my mercy?
Chen Feng sneered, his lips smiling like a fountain from which countless Evil Ghosts emerged.
"Inferior Demon, kill him for me!"
When Chen Feng decided to summon the Inferior Demon, it was tantamount to fully tearing apart the mask with the old factions of the Gorge Gate, reaching the point of life and death.
Several people thought they had surrounded Chen Feng completely, but in Chen Feng’s eyes, this was simply a path to death. At this moment, the majority of the troops attacked Yan Xiu, leaving a few to intercept him. It seemed like a flawless plan, but from the beginning, it was a major blunder.
Because they had no idea what Chen Feng’s real reliance was.
"Swish!"
A sinister, bone-corroding sulfur smell appeared around, and in an instant, a petite figure emerged from it. She had a sweet face, dressed in a black dress, looking just like a little girl no matter how one viewed her. But the moment she appeared, her skirt swayed, and an alarming black mist suddenly emerged from below her.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
More than a dozen palms drilled out from the little girl’s body, entwined with black mist, and then suddenly struck down, accompanied by an unstoppable terrifying wave. It seemed as if this strike could shatter space itself, tear the Earth apart, and Lin Tianxiu’s fragile head would be smashed to smithereens!
"Damn..."
Seeing the Inferior Demon suddenly attack, Lin Tianxiu couldn’t help but turn pale, his heart filled with chaos. The opponent emitted an aura not weaker than his own. Clearly, she was a little girl, but what were those arms? A monster, that’s clearly not human!
Witnessing the Inferior Demon launch a lethal attack without warning, Chen Ligang’s face drastically changed, disregarding how terrifying the opponent was. To them, they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, rushing forward recklessly. A dominant aura of supremacy erupted from his body, attempting to join forces with Lin Tianxiu to kill the Inferior Demon.
Anyone else might hesitate for a few seconds, for the Inferior Demon’s face was just that of a child. But for someone like Chen Ligang, it didn’t matter at all.
After all, his favorite thing to do was to pit humans against monsters in a fight. It could be said that Chen Ligang already lost his humanity, thus showing no reserve against the Inferior Demon.
Yet...
Just as Chen Ligang made his move, another figure, like an eagle spreading its wings, suddenly crashed into his chest.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound, as if the entire universe fell silent, even the numerous volcanoes below ceased their lava eruptions!
"Poof..."
An overwhelmingly dominant aura descended on Chen Ligang in an instant, and despite him raising a transparent shield at the last moment, he struggled to withstand this raging menace. The surging, overwhelming aura melted the shield like snow and immediately impacted Chen Ligang’s chest, crashing through his body with a devastating force!
Chen Ligang felt as if struck by thousands of thunderbolts, his body trembled violently, and he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. His previously ferocious intent rapidly dimmed...
But Chen Ligang was a master of the Golden Tier, falling behind did not make him give up. He gathered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, which although liquid, emitted a terrifying sound as if it could pierce steel.
At this moment, the mysterious enemy chose to abandon the attack and moved aside.
It was a girl with a cat tail, but what was once considered a cute appearance now hunched over, staring fiercely. It was more akin to a lithe leopard than a cat.
In an instant, Chen Feng summoned the Inferior Demon and Flora, instantly breaking through the encirclement. Several of them seemed to awaken from a dream, pervaded with a bewildered look.
Unclear of what was happening on the field, why would these powerful figures suddenly appear before them?
For Shi Xiong and the others, Chen Feng harbored no malice, after all, they had barely met a few times. Yet though it was so, it didn’t hinder Chen Feng’s determination to kill them.
He who kills will be killed.
Since they dared to intercept him in a siege, they had to prepare mentally to be slaughtered.
Gazing at their incredulous expressions, Chen Feng’s calm voice echoed once more in their ears: "Since you love sieging so much, let me show you in your final moments, what a real siege looks like..."
"Boom!"
Water exploded, and a gigantic monstrous fish with several tentacles appeared before them. The summoning wasn’t finished yet; a gloomy dark power germinated around them, and atop the monstrous fish, a figure holding a bow and arrow stood gracefully.
Beside Chen Feng, a cloaked figure slowly materialized. It lacked any aura of life, resembling more an old corpse long buried, as it emanated a lifeless air.
This scene made everyone’s eyes twitch with rage, their once proud faces warped, tainted with indescribable collapse and disbelief, and a deep stupor. Their pride now resembled a piece of paper fallen to the ground, mercilessly stomped by Chen Feng!
