Chapter 704: Chapter 539: What on Earth Happened to You, Li Feng? Part 2

But it didn’t matter, such clothes could be replaced if lost, but matters concerning Demonic Qi were of utmost importance, and without realizing it, Li Feng placed the issue of Demonic Qi at his top priority.

Moreover, he became even more cold-blooded, just like how people don’t care about how many ants they’ve killed, because it became insignificant.

After all, ants will always be ants, always lowly and despicable creatures in their entire lives, and Li Feng’s attitude towards everything in the world had quietly changed.

Those beggars who were lying on the ground, ready to ask for favors, felt a chill in their hearts when they witnessed this scene; other people might simply dislike them.

But this man before them not only regarded them as less than nothing, he killed without blinking an eye.

In front of Li Feng, everything became clear; the beggars knew Li Feng was not to be trifled with, and they all abandoned the idea of profiting from him.

As for attacking him, what a joke, the clothes Li Feng was wearing were no ordinary garments, they looked quite lavish.

Although the beggars were numerous, and some of them only had their worthless lives, if Li Feng were to be injured, they would be facing encirclement and annihilation by an army the next day.

Weighing the pros and cons, naturally, no beggar was foolish enough to block Li Feng’s path, after all, even beggars wanted to live.

At the end of the path cleared by the beggars, there was a dilapidated Land Temple. The doors and windows were free from cobwebs, but all the adornments were very old, and if not for seeing the half-ruined Land Deity statue, it would have been hard for Li Feng to recognize the place.

"That’s right, it’s here."

Li Feng’s complexion turned even paler, the place where the Demonic Qi within his body throbbed was this ruined Land Temple.

Inside the temple, there were eight columns, but now they all seemed ready to collapse at any moment. Below the half-step Land Deity statue was a long table, which was an altar for offerings to the Land Deity.

At this moment, two beggars were eating and drinking voraciously on the altar, Li Feng’s disgust for them was evident on his face without any attempt to hide it; if things went as usual, these two would be the leaders of the beggars.

If they were just beggars, street peddlers begging for a living, Li Feng wouldn’t feel so disgusted, just slightly repelled, but these two in front of him...

The offerings on the altar were faintly recognizable as western Shouchun roasted chicken along with four or five biscuits, the two men eating were greasy-mouthed.

It was unbelievable that the identity of these men was merely that of beggars; Li Feng naturally understood their status, just being the heads of the beggars.

Telling a few lies and deceiving the ordinary beggars wasn’t a big deal.

Maiming children and sending them to beg in the streets, forcefully selling off decent women into brothels, they probably had not refrained from doing such deeds, for them, Li Feng felt not just contempt, but a deep-seated disgust from the bottom of his heart.

"Where did this pretty boy come from, interrupting our meal? Bark like a dog for us, and maybe we’ll reward you!"

One of them casually glanced at Li Feng and spoke arrogantly.

In this area of Shouchun, all the beggars listened to the two of them, and as a result, their actions became more and more presumptuous, but Li Feng’s expression cooled, he had already sentenced them to death in his heart.

The other one looked carefully at Li Feng’s features, as if he remembered something, his expression changed, and the man who was just boasting, grabbed a cloth, wanting to cover his face and run.

That face of Li Feng was something he had seen before. The two could act so unscrupulously within Shouchun City because they deliberately avoided the presence of the officials.

To those who had official positions, either they couldn’t be bothered with them or they were the type that simply couldn’t manage them, and the two usually acted shrewdly.

They hadn’t been caught red-handed, so they were able to live so carefree, and within this Land Temple was their stronghold.

Typically, if an official came by, they would be either of great importance or they would be stopped by the lesser beggars.

That was why the one man acted the way he did. Li Feng was no forgiving person, especially after merging with Demonic Qi, his hand emitted a black aura.

In the sky, it manifested like a Long Spear tearing through the horizon, piercing through the heads of both men simultaneously, the heads of the two men were penetrated and their bodily movements abruptly halted.

It seemed they had given up resisting, but Li Feng knew that they were now devoid of life. As Li Feng walked between them, the breeze picked up by his garment was enough to scatter them into the air, leaving no trace behind.

Li Feng didn’t care if they would curse him, not even if their sins before were heinous. The only thing he cared about was his own distaste for them, it was that simple.

Unconsciously, Li Feng had become even more ruthless. He stepped forward, and the altar in front of him shattered with a loud bang, dark Qi swirling around him.

Li Feng placed a hand on the Land Deity who was only half a body. There seemed to be something guiding the Demonic Qi inside Li Feng, and he felt the eerie guidance but did not resist. Instead, he calmly accepted it.

There was no other reason than the inability to resist, and no need to resist, after all. The power of the Demonic Qi was much more difficult to resist, and Li Feng knew that this power didn’t come from within him.

Now, he could only be called a Demon. Although he had this black Qi as well, it could not leave his body because it had stayed inside him longer. Li Feng’s body was stronger than Zhang Xun’s after his transformation.

The black Qi began to pour ceaselessly into the Land Deity, and Li Feng’s complexion turned even paler.

However, there was not a trace of anger in Li Feng’s eyes. There was only calm, and an extreme fervor as if he became more and more devout toward the departing black Qi.

"Who?"

While Li Feng was lost in thought, a chilling, sharp sensation was felt on his neck.

"Don’t move, this blade is forged from fine steel, and with just a slight slice, your head will be gone."

A voice echoed around Li Feng’s left ear. Li Feng was somewhat taken aback. It seemed someone dared to threaten him like this. The voice sounded familiar, but Li Feng couldn’t recall who it was at the moment.

"Who are you?"

Li Feng was naturally not afraid of the blade. Regardless of the material, without Spiritual Energy, it could not cause him much harm—if any at all.

"Oh? Official Li seems to have a poor memory, despite us having just met in court today."

With a teasing tone, Liu Xun spoke, but there was no real emotion in his eyes—only a profound gravity. He was very curious about the black Qi.

This was not something a normal person should possess, and although he hadn’t heard what Li Feng had said to Zhang Xun that resulted in Zhang facing the battle alone, Liu Xun felt that there must be something extraordinary about it.

At that moment, Li Feng suddenly remembered; this man had been silent in court, certainly not one of those who just went with the flow.

"Is it you? Liu Xun."

While he had some doubts when he first thought of this person, Li Feng soon confirmed the identity of the person behind him through various subtle clues.

"Correct, Official Li’s hearing isn’t bad at all!"

Liu Xun praised, but Li Feng knew it was anything but a compliment.

"May I ask why General Liu Xun is seeking me out?"

Li Feng spoke calmly, as Liu Xun hadn’t taken action, and Li Feng wanted to see what Liu had in mind.

"Nothing much, what enchanting soup did you feed Zhang Xun? To send a man to battle without his armor, and Wang Yang’s strength is witnessed by us all."

Although Li Feng’s presence wasn’t noticed by Yuan Shu’s side, the fact that Li Feng had sought out Zhang Xun, who was about to go into battle, showed that Li Feng must at least know something.

So Liu Xun, who hadn’t watched the fight between Wang Yang and Zhang Xun, had followed Li Feng. Li Feng’s actions outside the Land Temple also took him by surprise.

Li Feng had crushed a man’s skull with just a kick. Liu Xun, a seasoned soldier, understood the power of that kick—a feat he could never achieve.

And Li Feng certainly did not have such strength in the morning. Within a short period of time, Li Feng had undergone an astonishing transformation.

It was truly inconceivable.
