Chapter 701: Chapter 538: Demonized Zhang Xun, Strikes with Force

Zhang Xun’s throat moved, and he swallowed, already somewhat tempted. It seemed that by creating a Demon Dynasty with Li Feng, he too could make a name for himself in the Myriad Realms.

Although tales of Demons and Monsters often circulated in this world, to Zhang Xun, he had never truly seen one before. Today, however, he saw that Demons and Monsters were not as repulsive as legends made them out to be.

But Zhang Xun was still hesitant because, deep down, there was a loathing for Demons and Monsters.

After all, legends said Demons and Monsters brought pain, plague, and suffering to everyone. If he joined them, becoming one of them...

Zhang Xun’s revulsion for these Demons and Monsters came from the bottom of his heart, yet he had an insatiable desire for fame and success.

This feeling was like a beast inside him beginning to lose control.

He found it irresistible.

"Come on, the pain of this world is caused by humans. Demons and Monsters are merely scapegoats for some. Know that the prevailing discourse in the world represents justice. Let go of your so-called resistance!"

"Join us, and we will create a world that belongs to Demons and Monsters."

Li Feng continued to tempt Zhang Xun, and this time, he struck a chord in Zhang Xun’s heart, his pulse quickened more than twofold.

Zhang Xun’s reason was resisting, but his body had already started to accept the temptation, eager to embrace the power from the Demonic Qi. In the face of instinct, the resistance of reason was a joke, utterly feeble.

"No, how can I become a Demon!"

Zhang Xun’s last shred of reason resisted.

Around Li Feng, the dark Qi had already begun to rush into Zhang Xun’s eyes. If one could see into Zhang Xun’s heart, they would notice it had turned completely black.

However, as the dark Qi surged into Zhang Xun, his body shook violently as if catching a second wind, resisting the desires brought by the dark Qi.

"Why not? Hurry, hurry! Just accept my power, and we will create a world of our own."

Li Feng’s tone was somewhat imperious, and Zhang Xun couldn’t help but be drawn in, his mental barriers completely broken down.

"Alright, I accept."

Zhang Xun’s tone became resolute. As he consented, the unseen dark Qi fully flooded his body, transforming his physique from within.

In just an instant, Zhang Xun’s body structure had become extremely peculiar, as if he was no longer a common man.

One could even say that Zhang Xun was no longer human.

He had transformed into another kind of being, one that caused the Myriad Realms to tremble—a being known as a Demon. Although at this moment Zhang Xun was merely an ordinary Demon, his body was much stronger than before.

Zhang Xun felt the strength within his body and was pleasantly surprised. His arms felt as if they had become made of refined steel, and every inch of his skin seemed to have grown a layer of armor.

But from the outside, Zhang Xun looked unchanged.

Except that his eyes had become darker and deeper.

"Thank you, my liege, for your assistance!"

Zhang Xun’s address had changed unconsciously, yet he did not notice this change, taking it for granted.

Gradually, Zhang Xun began to worship Li Feng more and more deeply.

Zhang Xun touched his face, which seemed to have unchanged,

Took up the Long Spear from before and strode toward the outside.

The bright red armor was left behind in the room, seemingly forgotten forever, while the corners of Li Feng’s mouth turned up slightly.

It was as if he were mocking Zhang Xun. Li Feng’s hand had already brushed over the bright red armor.

The dark Qi filled the armor, forming a skeleton somewhat resembling Zhang Xun, then contentedly moved towards the outside.

"Who goes there!"

As the gates of Shouchun City opened, only one figure appeared, not a single soldier behind him, radiating absolute confidence, not even on horseback.

"Zhang Xun!"

Zhang Xun uttered coldly, not realizing that he was beginning to turn cold and ruthless.

Thump! Yuanshu saw this scene and punched the stone beside him.

"Damn it, why does Zhang Xun not bring any troops with him, is he going to his death?"

Yuanshu had clearly meant for Zhang Xun to take his soldiers and surround Wang Yang directly.

Of course, Yuanshu understood that Zhang Xun was no match for Wang Yang. After all, Zhang Xun couldn’t even beat Ji Ling, let alone Wang Yang who killed Ji Ling in two rounds.

But that was referring to the previous Zhang Xun. Now it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that Zhang Xun was reborn anew.

With Long Spear in hand, Zhang Xun stood tall and proud, reaching the zenith of his aura. Wang Yang’s face changed, for he perceived that the man in front of him was extraordinary.

This Zhang Xun was certainly no common man. The aura he exuded was so intense that even Ji Ling was not fit to lace his boots by comparison.

And Wang Yang was particularly puzzled as to why such a person had not appeared in the Three Kingdoms before, given that Zhang Xun’s presence was unmistakably on par with that of Zhang Fei—a presence that could single-handedly repel a thousand troops. Yet, why was he unknown in Shouchun?
