Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 369 - 274: Bring It On

Opening his eyes, Lin Feng did not get up immediately, as a faint throbbing pain lingered in his head, making him very uncomfortable.

This was evidently a side effect of the battle in the Dream Realm earlier.

"Damn Dream Master."

Lin Feng looked at the ceiling, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

His Spiritual Power was severely depleted, and his soul was wounded, but none of that mattered to him. What truly worried him was the Nightmare.

Having devoured the Dream Master’s soul, the Nightmare’s Power had grown stronger.

At this moment, the Nightmare was restless inside him.

Just a while ago, sensing his weakness, the Nightmare had attempted to seize his body, but he discovered and stopped it in time.

Lin Feng could clearly feel this Evil Spirit peering at his body from within the Soul Sea.

After a while, seemingly knowing there was no chance of success, the Nightmare gradually calmed down, retreating into the Soul Sea and falling into a slumber.

"Miscalculated."

Lin Feng felt a bit helpless and regretful.

He regretted allowing the soul phantom to invade his body earlier. Although he had killed the enemy, it had also made the Nightmare stronger.

After a moment of regret, Lin Feng no longer dwelled on it.

After all, this was his first time fighting a Dream Master, and he had no experience with Dream Master’s abilities and combat style.

If it weren’t for the Nightmare, he truly had no other way to kill the enemy.

When the throbbing pain became less unbearable, Lin Feng quickly dressed himself, left the room, and knocked on Bu Zheng’s door next door.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

The knocking sound rang out, followed by Bu Zheng’s voice, and the door automatically opened.

Bu Zheng was not asleep at this time, sitting on the sofa in the living room and smoking, with wine and glasses placed on the table in front of him, the air filled with a faint scent of alcohol.

"Still not asleep?"

Lin Feng asked casually, not surprised.

For a strong person like Bu Zheng, staying up late was normal. He only needed to sleep for one or two hours a day, and sometimes didn’t sleep for days without a problem.

"Aren’t you still awake, too? Wait, what happened to you?"

Seeing Lin Feng enter the room, Bu Zheng initially didn’t care, but when he looked up and saw Lin Feng’s face, his brows furrowed slightly. At this moment, Lin Feng looked pale and extremely tired.

Lin Feng took a wine goblet from the liquor cabinet, then sat down next to Bu Zheng: "A Dream Master just invaded my Dream Realm."

As he spoke, Lin Feng poured a glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Haven’t had wine in a while."

"Dream Master!"

Bu Zheng stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Peered into your Dream Realm?"

Although Lin Feng was safe now, Bu Zheng knew Lin Feng’s secret. If it were exposed, it would make him even more dangerous, which is why he seemed so tense.

Together with the tension, he also felt anger.

Under his nose, a Dream Master had appeared and invaded Lin Feng’s Dream Realm. If there was any intent to kill, Lin Feng would be in great peril.

Dream Masters were extremely rare, a Legendary Profession even rarer than Summoners, and were special talents that people feared.

Seeing Bu Zheng so tense, Lin Feng smiled: "Don’t worry, I’ve already killed them."

"Killed them?"

Bu Zheng was momentarily stunned, then somewhat incredulous: "You could discover a Dream Master’s peering and find their hiding place?"

"I killed her in the Dream Realm."

Lin Feng did not hide it, but this answer made Bu Zheng even more shocked: "In the Dream Realm?"

Bu Zheng repeated, seemingly unable to believe it.

A Dream Master’s abilities mainly manifested in the Dream Realm, where they were nearly invincible. How could someone easily kill them?

Was the Dream Master’s strength too weak?

This reason could explain it, though.

"Let’s find someone first."

Lin Feng didn’t explain further, as he couldn’t explain how he killed the opponent either.

Only by finding the person could they know why they wanted to kill him and if there were any accomplices.

"Hmm."

Bu Zheng nodded, put down the wine glass, and then led Lin Feng out of the room.

"For a Dream Master to invade your Dream Realm, they can’t be too far away. Check the hotel lobby’s surveillance to find out."

Bu Zheng said.

.....

In the hotel lobby, upon learning Lin Feng had been attacked by a Dream Master, the staff was startled and quickly called the hotel management. Soon, the entire hotel was on lockdown.

People continuously gathered, first investigating the surveillance, filtering out suspicious targets one by one. Half an hour later, a group arrived at room 2803. When they opened the door, the loud snoring hadn’t stopped, and the fat man was still fast asleep.

"Wake up."

Woken by the crowd, the fat man looked confused, on the verge of cursing, but when he saw the prominent figures before him, he immediately went silent.

"Why did you barge into my room?"

The man asked timidly, with a hint of panic.

"He appears to be hypnotized."

Bu Zheng glanced at the man, then turned his gaze to the woman lying beside him.

Soon, a staff member approached the woman to check her, and after a moment, turned back to shake his head: "No injuries, but she’s already dead, with her heart and breathing stopped."

"It’s Zhang Yulin."

At this point, a man recognized the woman’s identity.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Feng and Bu Zheng returned to the room, and after a while, Bu Zheng’s phone rang. Five minutes later, after hanging up, his expression was not just shocked, but also bitter and helpless.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Bu Zheng’s complex expression, Lin Feng asked.

Bu Zheng revealed a bitter smile: "Confirmed, that woman, like you, is one of the five Apostle candidates."

"Apostle candidate?"

This identity was obviously beyond Lin Feng’s expectations.

An Apostle candidate, why would they attempt to assassinate him?

Moreover, he had just been confirmed as an Apostle candidate, and not even a day had passed.

"Why would she want to kill me?"

"Do you know what this year’s Apostle task is?"

Bu Zheng asked.

"Isn’t it half a year later..."

Lin Feng was a bit confused, his words cutting off midway, his expression showing a hint of doubt and speechlessness: "Don’t tell me, the task is to kill me?"

Under Lin Feng’s gaze, Bu Zheng nodded with a bitter smile: "You guessed right."

"Damn it!"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but curse.

He couldn’t have imagined that this unprovoked disaster was caused by the Pure Land.

Whoever thought of targeting him as a task objective, which fiend thought of this.

"Isn’t Celestial King Hai supposed to have good relations with Hua Country?" Lin Feng asked Bu Zheng in confusion.

How is this a good relationship?

If the relationship was good, why would they want to kill him?

Did they not know that he had just sealed a realm, striking fear into the hearts of Alien Race Sixth Grade geniuses?

"Who knows what the Celestial King is thinking."

Bu Zheng shrugged helplessly.

To him, this task was indeed nonsensical.

"Even if it’s a task, how dare that woman try to kill me?" Lin Feng asked.

Did that woman not consider the repercussions of killing him?

Even if she succeeded, wouldn’t she fear Hua Country’s manhunt?

"It is Pure Land’s task. Once she becomes an Apostle, with Pure Land’s protection, she won’t be afraid. Also, you voluntarily agreed to be an Apostle candidate. If you truly died, Hua Country couldn’t act."

Bu Zheng explained, then added: "Moreover, there’s a bounty of over a hundred billion on you, which, in her eyes, makes it worth the risk."

"Since I’m a task target, does that mean I have to kill the other four candidates to become an Apostle?"

Lin Feng was quite displeased.

Being an Apostle candidate undoubtedly meant they had great strength, and the previous battle in the Dream Realm had taught him a lesson.

If the enemy hadn’t made mistakes at the start, combined with the Nightmare’s help, he would’ve been in great danger.

Managing to kill the opponent involved a lot of luck.

One candidate was already so troublesome; the other four were probably no less formidable.

"There’s no precise order, but in theory, that’s the case."

"However, the task doesn’t have a specific completion time; it might change at any moment."

Bu Zheng’s expression was full of helplessness.

This is ’Pure Land,’ acting whimsically, boldly, and fearlessly.

"Can I quit?"

Lin Feng asked.

Bu Zheng shook his head: "No, the Apostle’s task has already begun. Even if you quit, the task won’t stop. Even if you become an Apostle, don’t think of quitting. No one can leave the Pure Land, not even a Celestial King!"

"What a nuisance."

Sighing, the helplessness on Lin Feng’s face gradually vanished, and a hint of killing intent slowly emerged: "If that’s the case, then bring it on."
