Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 534 - 379: Hong Yi’s Thoughts

At this moment, the atmosphere in the core circle of the Six Great Forces was somewhat oppressive.

All around them, the number of retreating people did not diminish; instead, it was getting larger, with no intent of stopping.

Among these people, some were injured, with arms or thighs directly severed; some seemed to have been struck by lightning, their bodies charred black, letting out painful howls. Therapists came forward to treat them, and amidst various discussions and footsteps, it seemed very noisy.

Gazing at the fear revealed in the eyes of the surrounding people, Hai Xiu’s eyes held a trace of shock.

Even as an enemy, he couldn’t help but admire them at this moment.

The number of retreating people kept increasing, already surpassing five thousand.

These five thousand weren’t weak, yet they were scared off by merely fourteen people! Even under circumstances where their power was suppressed, this sounded somewhat absurd and laughable.

Yet, they couldn’t laugh at all.

A team of fourteen was not many, even quite few.

However, in his view, in this key battle, Lin Feng’s squad was far more threatening than other teams.

Even more terrifying than squads entirely comprised of Kings.

Kings are somewhat wary and cherish their lives, unwilling to easily put themselves in danger.

But Lin Feng and his companions were incredibly crazy.

They seemed to be wildly slaughtering the Abnormal People inside the Jade Seal Spatial Gate as if they didn’t care about the purpose of this battle.

Nor did they care about the consumption of soul power and physical strength, as if they took pleasure in hunting the Alien Race.

"A bunch of useless people."

"It’s a pity there’s a key to compete for; otherwise, I’d really like to try them out."

"Don’t worry, once the key appears, there’ll be a chance!"

"Can’t entirely blame them, Lin Feng and six others could lock down the Jade Seal Spatial Gate. Now with more people, plus Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi joining, the strength is greater, which is understandable."

The Abnormal People discussed, some with anger, some with fear, and some showing murderous intent.

For the list of personnel entering the Land of Chaos this time, they already had it, and Lin Feng’s squad was one of the targets they were most concerned about.

"What? Fat Thorn? Resentful Spirit? How come there’s a Stand!"

Listening to the report, Hai Weimeng questioned, his tone filled with shock, seemingly unable to believe what he heard.

The others were also like this, as these three are all diamond soul skills, with the Stand even being a divine level soul skill.

"Are you sure it’s these three soul skills?"

The Little Demon King Tian Di asked, his gaze fierce.

These three soul skills are not just as simple as diamond soul skills. Although they are support soul skills, they are rare and precious and belong to different attributes, different types of soul skills.

A single demon spirit trying to absorb them all at once is almost impossible.

Moreover, Lin Feng is known to possess five soul skills: Mirror Image, Phantom Clone, Lock, Demon Flame, Illusion. If adding these three soul skills, that would be eight soul skills?

In just two years, has Lin Feng’s Lifebound Demon Spirit already reached the eighth tier?

How is this possible?

Under the gaze of the crowd, the reporting young man’s body slightly trembled, but he was very certain:

"No mistake, the attack effects of these three soul skills are easy to recognize, and I wasn’t the only one who saw them. I’ve confirmed it with others."

In saying this, the young man also detailed the effects of these three soul skills and the fighting style of Lin Feng’s group.

Upon hearing this unique fighting style, the crowd seemed to understand why Lin Feng’s squad was able to ruthlessly massacre the Abnormal Squad.

"Such insidious soul skills!" said one of the Abnormal People.

Due to the limitation of soul power, the explosive power of Lin Feng’s Lifebound Demon Spirit, the Dragon Fish, was restricted and could no longer cause much damage. However, he had multiple support soul skills and was extremely insidious and ruthless, his presence enabling teammates to exert even greater combat power.

Because of Lin Feng’s presence, this squad’s danger level had risen by a grade.

"The Stand soul skill can be determined as Lin Feng’s soul skill. Could the other two be used by others?" Someone speculated.

This guess made many Abnormal People nod slightly.

Nobody believed that Lin Feng could absorb eight soul skills; this was the only answer that could explain it.

Some even guessed that Lin Feng had two demon spirits, which could explain why he possessed so many soul skills. However, not many believed this guess.

For a Demon Spirit Master, cultivating two demon spirits from the start would not be worth the loss.

The young man did not refute, only said, "Not just Lin Feng, Yun Kai, Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, almost everyone has diamond level soul skills!"

These words made the atmosphere grow even more solemn.

"Interesting, seems this key battle won’t be so simple." Tian Di said with a smile, his laughter filled with icy murderous intent.

A group of human geniuses who refined Earth Chart demon spirits and possess diamond soul skills would indeed make others wary.

However, they were all proud and royal of the Alien Race and would not be intimidated. In fact, they were somewhat excited.

If not for the key being most important, someone would have already been eager to give it a try.

...

In the forest, a group of two hundred people was heading towards the colorful sky, a temporarily formed team.

The team originally numbered over two hundred people; along the way, due to attacks and assassinations by the Abnormal Squad, they had lost thirty to forty people.

In an area near the edge, Hong Yi, carrying a backpack, walked unhurriedly; the pitch-black eye circles, disguised by makeup, had disappeared, and the girl who originally appeared somewhat strange looked no different from a normal person now, only her complexion a bit pale.

"Walk faster, don’t try any tricks."

Hong Yi was protected by four people, or perhaps "monitored" would be more appropriate. One of the middle-aged men in a pitch-black cloak looked at the young girl and spoke harshly.

Throughout the journey, because the girl deliberately delayed, their speed had been severely affected.

"This is my pace, you don’t need to care about me; you can leave first."

Hong Yi said slowly as she ate potato chips.

Her backpack was full of snacks. As a spirit medium, not only was she unable to sleep, but she also got hungry very easily, so she needed to eat a lot of food.

Potato chips were her favorite.

"You look like a pig and still eat!"

Hong Li snatched the potato chips from Hong Yi’s hands and threw them on the ground. But beyond that, he couldn’t do much more.

"If you don’t want your brother to be like you, you better behave."

Hong Li said coldly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Hong Yi asked as wisps of fine silk appeared out of nowhere, floating above her right hand and spreading towards Hong Li.

"Are you sure you want to threaten me in the Land of Chaos?"

Hong Yi asked seriously.

As a spirit medium, she could borrow the power of the monster within her, and in the Land of Chaos, her strength was not much inferior to Hong Li’s.

Hong Li waved his hand, flicking away the sand before him, a flash of apprehension in his eyes as he realized that in the Land of Chaos, the spirit medium seemed to have a tendency to become uncontrollable.

She even had the guts to provoke him!

"Think more about your brother!"

Hong Li said in a still firm tone.

"Haha!"

Hong Yi laughed, taking another bag of potato chips from her backpack. Ever since that Sha Mi appeared, she had probed several times over the week and confirmed her suspicion.

There were no more children with the talent to become a spirit medium.

Her brother was very likely not gifted as a spirit medium.

She didn’t need to worry anymore that her brother would be like her, nor that the Hong family would use this as leverage.

Now, her only concern was that her parents and brother were still with the Hong family, seemingly free but constantly under surveillance.

Hong Yi knew this was another kind of threat against her.

If she was out of control, her family might be in danger.

There was nothing Hong Tao wouldn’t do, like turning each member of his clan into a spirit medium.

"How can I fake my death to escape?"

Hong Yi pondered silently.

She couldn’t commit suicide because her family might be implicated. There seemed to be no other option than to fake death.

But to fake death and escape in front of Hong Li and the others was obviously impossible.

"Why do you think Hong Tao sent me to the Land of Chaos this time?"

Hong Yi asked with a seemingly puzzled look: "Keep in mind, here my power is also suppressed, even the monster within me is as useless as those six demon beasts."

Hong Yi looked up at the six Emperor-level demon beasts in the distant sky.

Hong Li frowned slightly but did not respond, while Hong Yi continued: "Do you think your father might want us to die here?"

"Shut up!"

Hong Li scolded, coldly staring at Hong Yi. The latter’s face remained unchanged, only a smile of mockery and derision appeared.

"There’s a very good chance; I know your father can make this monster self-destruct. The explosion, though unable to stop the fusion of the Land of Chaos, could ensure everyone perishes together."

Hong Yi said to herself.

"You have such wild thoughts!"

Hong Li’s face darkened, unease flashing in his eyes.

He had thought of this himself, but didn’t dare to believe it.

Hong Tao was his father, a tiger that wouldn’t eat its cubs—except sacrificing one for...

Hong Li stopped his train of thought, glaring viciously at Hong Yi. Even if it were true, he had no retreat.

As long as he obtained the key, none of that would happen!

"Even so, we have only one path to choose, so save your little tricks!" Hong Li looked at Hong Yi with a warning look.

Seeing Hong Li’s lack of major reaction, Hong Yi smiled slightly. Although expected, she was still somewhat disappointed.

Right at this moment, there was some commotion ahead. Upon looking up, they saw a squad of about a hundred Abnormal People fleeing in terror, pursued by Lin Feng’s squad.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was somewhat shocked. Though they had heard the news, seeing it with their own eyes was still shocking and unbelievable.

"Stop them!"

"Kill!"

Many people charged towards the Abnormal Squad, beginning to hunt them down.

As Lin Feng’s squad appeared, Hong Yi’s eyes brightened slightly. An idea sparked in her once despairing mind.

As people were preoccupied with attacking the Abnormal Squad and became slightly disorganized, Hong Yi, already at the edge of the group, clenched her fist slightly. Sand surged around her like frenzied waves. As the four of Hong Li dodged, she took a step forward, her figure swiftly darting towards Lin Feng’s squad.
