Chapter 706: Chapter 540 Li Feng Kills Yuanshu, Commands All the Demons in the World_2

"It seems our lord has a rather forgetful memory!"

Li Feng’s cold, slender fingers were already on Yuanshu’s throat. Seemingly feeling that icy breath, Yuanshu’s displeased expression immediately withdrew, his eyes darting about the surroundings.

The civil officials, guards, and maids no longer looked as they once did – their flesh and blood were gone, leaving only their skins draped over their bodies.

This scene made the hairs on Yuanshu’s back stand up. They looked just like the Demons and Monsters from legends. Yuanshu lifted his head slightly, but before he could see who was behind him, he felt a pain in his throat and his eyes closed.

Li Feng boldly tore open the clothes on Yuanshu’s body and with a thud, a Jade Seal fell from Yuanshu. That Jade Seal was the very thing Cao Cao had long coveted.

"It’s the Imperial Jade Seal."

Li Feng was overjoyed. This was one of the few attachments he had, and now the Imperial Jade Seal belonged to him.

Though the use of the Jade Seal was not as significant in his hands as it would be for Cao Cao, Li Feng still needed other kinds of aid in this world.

Just now, in the Land Temple, the black Qi had forcibly melted the local deity’s statue, transforming it into something else. Moreover, the once stone-and-earth Land Deity statue began to take on an increasingly strange style, with Demonic Qi twining around it.

In the sky, what was once clear-blue for thousands of miles changed as the Demonic Qi transformed, and dark clouds enveloped Shouchun City. All living creatures within Shouchun City felt an innate sense of panic.

Li Feng witnessed through the large hole in the temple’s roof the birds in flight, which, having passed through the darkness, continued in the same direction but now looked completely different.

The bird’s feathers, now as stiff as stale buns, seemed to change quality. With the enhanced eyesight from the Demonic Qi, Li Feng could see the bloodshot eyes of that bird.

It wasn’t just a few blood vessels; they were like creeping vines, slowly climbing, taking root from the center of the bird’s eyes, and then the bird’s head turned into a blood-red sphere, exposing only its beak.

Li Feng couldn’t help a chill in his heart, but he was also relieved that he only looked pale and hadn’t grown any strange things on his body. Li Feng was particularly concerned about his own physique.

After all, in the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Dun had one of his eyes shot out and didn’t shriek in pain.

Instead, he directly pulled out the arrow, then proclaimed, "One’s body and hair, skin and flesh are received from one’s parents."

He then swallowed the eye, which showed how much the ancients cherished their bodies. Of course, Li Feng was no exception. Although his parents had long passed away, this might be the last vestige of warmth. As for the Transformation into Demons and Monsters,

it can only be said that circumstances forced it. With Li Feng’s perspective, he could naturally see that Yuanshu wasn’t too fond of him at the moment. Inside Shouchun City, with abundant troops but scarce supplies and enemies on all sides, Yuanshu seemed like someone on the verge of doom.

In such a case, the only option left for Yuanshu was to flee.

While fleeing, Yuanshu only needed to take the Imperial Guards with him. As for Li Feng, whether alive or dead, there was no need to bother.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Li Feng chose to become a Demon. Of course, it could also be said as a reason, even if it might be deemed as being overly cautious. But based on Li Feng’s understanding of Yuanshu, it was likely Yuanshu would do just that.

In fact, Yuanshu did exactly that in the original historical trajectory, which might be one of the reasons for his disloyalty and betrayal!

The black Qi continued to expand, and mutations began appearing on the beggars outside. One beggar felt an itch under his arm, reached to scratch it subconsciously, and to his surprise, a black arm sprouted out of his body.

For some passers-by, the clothes on their bodies were torn apart by flesh spikes, with sharp spikes emerging from the joints. Suddenly, someone’s stomach hurt, and black lines appeared all over their body.

Such scenes were truly horrifying, but Li Feng seemed to have grown accustomed to them. He had anticipated such a situation, but he did not expect the impact to be so great. Nevertheless, it was of no concern.

Li Feng slowly walked out of the Land Temple, and the Demons and Monsters outside dispersed upon seeing him, as if instinctively controlled to stay away from Li Feng.

"Indeed, he did not deceive me."

Li Feng murmured, "These beggars transformed into demons and monsters avoided them on their own, and the gradually blurry look in their eyes faintly revealed a color of fear. Li Feng immediately understood."

Soon after, Li Feng burst into laughter. With the assistance of Demonic Qi and becoming one of the demons and monsters—for instance, as for Li Feng—even if his head were chopped off, he wouldn’t be afraid. Even if other demons and monsters were weaker, they wouldn’t be much weaker."

The aspiration to dominate the world suddenly burgeoned at that moment. What followed was the scene of Li Feng killing Yuanshu, with Li Feng sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Yuanshu, looking at Wang Yang below, who was fighting Zhang Xun, with a hint of different color flashing in his eyes.

By becoming a demon, one could better experience the power of demons and monsters. And this Wang Yang, with just a mortal body, was actually able to contend with a demon. This person must not be left alive, Li Feng concluded in his heart instantly.

Wang Yang’s sword pierced through Zhang Xun’s eye, a strike that condensed all of Wang Yang’s energy, spirit, and essence.

The damage this sword caused Zhang Xun was extremely limited.

That Zhang Xun, his left eye pierced, felt almost nothing, as the Demonic Qi furiously surged within him.

The pleasure that it gave to Zhang Xun had long since overshadowed any pain.

The direction of the augmentation brought by the Demonic Qi was not constant. For example, Li Feng had a strong desire to survive and a heart unwilling to be ordinary, so the Demonic Qi gave Li Feng a powerful healing ability and that boundless ambition."

And for Zhang Xun, the augmentation leaned more towards his physique, and his characteristic of being valiant and good at fighting also brought him the special ability to become increasingly fierce as the battle continued.

The Demonic Qi had been in Li Feng’s body for so long, bringing him indescribable benefits, to the extent that Li Feng could command other demons and monsters that were of a lower level than him.

Even with one eye blinded, Zhang Xun’s Long Spear did not slow down in the slightest, in fact, his spear thrusts were even faster and more powerful than before.

Wang Yang was using all his strength at this moment, it was just a pity that he was merely a strand of Divine Thought at this time, otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a difficult fight.

"Give up! Mortals, how can you defeat demons and monsters?"

Zhang Xun, reveling in the exhilaration brought by the Demonic Qi inside him, disdainfully said to Wang Yang, as this feeling of power greatly pleased him.

Zhang Xun thought to himself that if the mortal in front of him was willing to join the clan of demons and monsters, it wouldn’t be impossible to spare him.

Wang Yang leaped backward without touching the ground, tapping his toes three times, retreating wildly towards the rear.

In the blink of an eye, he had retreated over a dozen meters, which greatly displeased Zhang Xun, especially since the fight was at its most thrilling moment and Wang Yang was trying to escape like this, such a buzzkill.

At this point, Wang Yang’s eyes were filled with solemnity, and the Qingzhou troops watched from a distance.

Then the city gate suddenly opened.

"Follow my command! Slay!"

Li Feng, clad in a black dragon robe and holding the Imperial Jade Seal, which used to be as white as the moon, now had black lines on it like human meridians. With this Jade Seal, Li Feng controlled all the demons and monsters in the city."

At his command, the demons and monsters on the ground that had been wandering the streets after the city gate opened charged crazily toward the outside of the city.

These demons and monsters, transformed from ordinary people, were all skin and bones with blood-red eyes. Their teeth were wrapped by dried skin, and their lips had completely shriveled, revealing their teeth gradually, presenting an extremely horrific sight.

It was as if evil ghosts from hell had crawled out, causing even Wang Yang to feel a chill down his spine, and the hearts of the Qingzhou troops behind him were already terrified.

Having fought for so long, they had witnessed all sorts of conspiracies and plots, but they had never seen such eerily abnormal people.
