Chapter 136: Chapter 134: My Way, My Dao!

Chu Feng was sound asleep on the soft, large bed of a clean, top-class suite when, within the Iron Chain Demon defense perimeter,

Li Ying and Dai Sheng were lying in a shallow pit, covered with a thick layer of dust and disguised as two rocks, holding their breath and using the corner of their eyes to watch what was ahead.

They were traveling light; their backpacks were not with them.

Directly in front of them, there was a patrolling team of Iron Chain Demons, consisting of over fifty Demon Soldiers, along with more than ten Demon Emissaries.

The leader was astonishingly a master-level Iron Chain Demon, with combat power even stronger than a warrior of the Everlasting Realm.

If discovered by this team, with both in the Early Innate Stage, they would surely be dead without a doubt!

Thus, their bodies were tensed, prepared to flee at any moment, and while they dared not directly look at the troop, they also couldn’t afford to look away even for a moment.

Especially when they saw the Demon Clan’s team heading their way, despair inevitably showed on their faces.

This time, they were truly doomed!

At that moment, from a ravine not far to their right, a howling sound emerged.

Hearing the howl, the leading Demon Master immediately shouted in the Demon Race Language, "Enemy tracks discovered, follow me!"

He took the lead towards the direction of the sound, with over sixty Demon Emissaries and Demon Soldiers closely following him.

Only after the Iron Chain Demon’s team had disappeared from their sight did they dare to breathe heavily.

Li Ying immediately rose to his feet, and alongside Dai Sheng, they sprinted toward an unoccupied direction, all the while pulling at their hair, he asked with a hint of hope,

"Old Dai, tell me these guys aren’t searching for us, are they?

"They must be trying to start a war over control points, right?"

Running ahead, Dai Sheng replied softly, "Yingzi, don’t worry."

Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Dai Sheng’s solemn voice came, "They are indeed after us."

Li Ying choked.

He suddenly quickened his pace, grabbed Dai Sheng by the collar, lifted him, and in a lowered voice roared,

"What the hell did you steal from them that stirred up such a hornet’s nest!

"Five days, man, five days and nights! Wherever we go, these guys chase, encircle, and block us!

"Now the entire frontline of the Iron Chain Demons has been mobilized and sealed just to prevent us from escaping!

"I’m going crazy, I’m fucking being chased by demons in my dreams!"

Dai Sheng gave a rueful smile and patted his hand, "I knew they might react, I hoped we could have escaped before being discovered.

"But believe me, Yingzi, I didn’t expect these demons to realize something was wrong so quickly!

"It’s too late for regrets now. If we’re caught by the Iron Chain Demons, we’re definitely done for.

"To find that item, they’ll definitely torture us mercilessly, making our lives worse than death.

"So, hang in there and escape!

"If we can get past the defense line and make it to the stronghold, we’ll be safe!

"Wait some time for the Iron Chain Demons’ guards to disperse, then go back and dig out our stuff."

Li Ying, filled with despair and anger, said, "My perfectly good holiday job has been thoroughly ruined by you, turned into a flight for our lives!

"You have to tell me today, what exactly is that thing you’re talking about!

"Also, I’ve been the one doing all the work along the way, so I want a fifty-fifty share!"

"Otherwise, keep my share. Let’s split up and escape on our own!"

He was truly scared, no longer daring to risk his life.

Even if they had poked the rear of the Iron Chain Demon Royal Clan, this was the situation now!

They had actually mobilized half the race to hunt them down!

If it weren’t for brotherly loyalty and the bonds of comradeship holding him, he’d have bolted long ago!

Of course, the value of the item Dai Sheng mentioned played a small part.

Just a small part.

...

Upon hearing this, Dai Sheng also panicked and wanted to escape, knowing they absolutely couldn’t afford to lose Li Ying’s combat capabilities!

The Iron Chain Demon’s blockade was too tight, and their surveillance too dense—over the past few days, the two had been discovered many times.

It was only due to the powerful Li Ying’s actions that they were able to kill the Iron Chain Demons before they could sound the alarm!

If Li Ying, driven by fear, decided to flee, Dai Sheng would be hopelessly overwhelmed.

So he sighed and said, "Fine, let’s split fifty-fifty, I agree! Come closer!"

Li Ying brought Dai Sheng up to his ear, listening to Dai Sheng’s whisper, his eyes growing wider and expression more fierce!

After Dai Sheng finished speaking, Li Ying was so angry he wanted to draw his sword and kill the man in his grip, "Son of a bitch, you really have the gall of the heavens!

"Old Dai, you’re really going to get me killed this time!"

Dai Sheng gave a cold smile, "I’m asking you, do you want it or not? If not, we can throw it to the Iron Chain Demons and escape this calamity!"

"Want it, how can I not want it!" Li Ying suddenly raised his head, his eyes completely red, "No one is going to snatch this thing from my hands!"

"It’s ours!" Just as Dai Sheng was about to explode in anger, he was suddenly slapped down by Li Ying and pressed into a depression in the ground.

A hurried voice came from beside his ear: "Shh!"

...

...

The next morning.

Chu Feng stretched lazily on the bed, hugging the soft pillow as he turned over.

Breathing in the delicate fragrance of the room, he squinted his eyes, his face and heart filled with fondness for the big, soft bed.

After roughing it for five days and nights, fighting through countless rounds of blood and gore, although his face showed no signs, his heart was extremely weary.

At this moment, being able to sleep soundly in the clean, tidy, and white cotton sheets was simply a heavenly pleasure.

For a moment, he really didn’t want to get out of bed.

He just wanted to sleep a bit longer, whiling away the whole day.

"But I can’t, without enough strength, without enough resources, how can there be peace to enjoy?"

He sighed, sat up with a jerk like a carp leaping up, and jumped out of bed heading to the washroom.

In his eyes, a burning fighting spirit flared again!

There were still many targets not achieved, still many things he wanted to grasp.

But his strength was still far from enough, it wasn’t yet time to rest!

Open book!

...

After packing up, he glanced back at his comfort zone, gently closed the door, and Chu Feng once again took steps forward.

After seven or eight rounds of identity verification, with the first Demon Extermination Army Soldier he met yesterday sending him off, he walked out of the stronghold’s main gate.

The wind mixed with the smell of sulfur blew past, he took a deep breath, his spirits lifted.

Although the air inside and outside the stronghold was no different, he could distinctly smell iron and fire in the wind.

The thought of being able to raise his Tang Sword again, to forcefully pierce through the Iron Chain Demon’s vitals, to harvest precious Attribute Points from their death, made his hands tremble slightly.

That was an undisguised excitement and joy about the harvest.

Perhaps after five days of battling over a hundred miles, he had started adapting and somewhat enjoying this activity of harvesting Demonic Life Force.

This harvest not only fulfilled his craving for Attribute Points but also placed him on the moral high ground in humanity’s firm resistance against the Different Race invading Blue Star.

In doing so, he satisfied both his pursuit of profit and his moral pursuit.

Although his strength was not yet strong, and his achievements still modest, there was no doubt he was on the right path.

"My way, is the right way."

He took out a gas mask, firmly placed it on his face, and strode towards the boundless wasteland covered in leaden clouds and blood-red mud.
