Looking at Chen Fengâs face and his calm expression, Su Tan took a deep breath and stopped her actions.
With her Golden Tier knowledge, she naturally recognized Chen Fengâs prowess. She stepped back a bit, putting some distance between them.
In just a second of battle, neither could gain the upper hand. Yet, Su Tan sensed a terrifying willpower emanating from Chen Feng. No matter how humans imitate, theyâll never become true beasts because humans have humanity, while beasts possess only pure beastliness.
But during the exchange just now, Su Tan seemed to witness a horrifying world filled with smoke and flames, alongside a giant monstrous creature with wings and an ugly appearance.
It had no emotions, and similarly... lacked even the slightest humanity.
At that moment, Su Tan felt she wasnât facing a human, but a monster devoid of compassion and emotion.
"Is it you?"
While Su Tan was lost in thought, Cottonwood suddenly let out a sharp cry from the side.
Following Su Tanâs instructions, Cottonwood was constantly watching Chen Feng. If it were someone else, it would be stealthy enough not to provoke any response; however, Chen Feng, having absorbed the Power of Faith, had undergone changes in his body. Moreover, he possessed amazing Illusion Techniques, granting him incredible vigilance against surveillance.
Cottonwood.
She was a mature, sultry beauty with exquisite features, exuding a mature, seductive charm. Her chest was prominently full, her face shining with a healthy allure. Currently in a semi-undressed state, perhaps having noticed something, she didnât bother to question Chen Feng, let out a scream, hurriedly pulled up her clothes to cover her exposed skin.
"Pop..."
Cottonwoodâs scream reached outside the room. At that moment, a petite figure, who disliked bathing and chose to sit outside, slipped inside through the door.
Ah Fei.
Su Tanâs leading enforcer, despite her awakened abilities causing some intellectual pressure, her past actions were akin to a young pup. Yet, like a pet dog knowing how to guard a door and distinguish between strangers and masters, she saw Chen Feng, the sudden intruder, and immediately arched her back, showing a teeth-gritting posture.
If this were a vicious dog, it indeed would induce some fear. But now, facing Chen Feng with this stance was actually a delicate girl, especially with her wagging tail, which, reluctantly to admit, was quite adorable.
"No!"
Seeing Ah Feiâs movements, Su Tan seemed to have already guessed her next move. However, even she had suffered secretly; how could Ah Fei be a match for Chen Feng!
"Woof..."
But it was too late. Ah Fei barked softly and rushed towards Chen Feng. Meanwhile, her hair rapidly elongated like countless black serpents, instantly forming a covering black cloud that blanketed the sky, pouring down upon Chen Feng!
It was an overwhelming pressure, utterly terrifying, like an avalanche!
Chen Fengâs pupils contracted. He hadnât expected that this energy-suppressed, mentally constrained little girl was actually a dual-profession practitioner.
Not only did she possess local beast transformation, but she also had some transformative abilities, allowing endless extension of her hair. Hearing the powerful slicing sounds, if hit, even steel might be sliced in half.
This might just be the allure of awakened abilities.
Hair, the softest substance of the human body, could surprisingly slice through steel. If not witnessed firsthand, one couldnât believe such an unbelievable phenomenon!
Consider the agile speed and the black cloud-like hair being so nimble and pervasive; an ordinary practitioner would immediately fall into her trap.
Itâs fair to say that even Lu Wei might face a fifty-fifty scenario against her.
But unfortunately, she encountered Chen Feng!
As the long hair was about to swamp Chen Feng, he grinned, and flames suddenly burst forth from his body, incinerating all the hair. Without any redundant techniques, just burning with fire seemed reckless, yet achieved an astonishing effect.
Ah Fei had canine instincts, a creature with a natural fear of flames. Sure enough, once her hair was ablaze, she was visibly flustered, wildly swinging her arms, conjuring dense claw shadows like thunder and lightning, with incredible speed, tearing at her hair ends and transforming back to short hair.
"Woof..."
Ah Feiâs beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture, as if her chew toy had been hidden by her master, filled with grievance.
Bear in mind, she is a Silver Peak strong figure.
She utilized nimble speed and extended hair to confine movements and obscure the enemyâs vision, allowing her to defeat opponents before they could react.
But why, why did Chen Feng make her so embarrassed with just a move?
"This ends here, little puppy!"
As Chen Feng spoke, Ah Fei felt a fatal pressure locking onto her instantly. Before she could make any moves, Chen Feng was already charging like a swift shadow.
With canine instincts, she possessed a sixth sense for danger that humans couldnât match.
The most common scenario being during earthquakes.
The occurrence of an earthquake is due to the movement of tectonic plates, and before strong movements (earthquakes), there are always slight active manifestations, but they are not very intense. Due to this activity, a series of infrasonic wave frequencies are generated, and because of the limitations of the frequencies that the human ear can perceive, we cannot hear that sound.
However, the frequency reception of animals is different from that of the human ear, and the structure of their ear bones allows them to hear those sounds, enabling them to know in advance...
Just like now, as soon as Chen Feng uttered the first character, Ah Fei felt a strong sense of crisis enveloping her.
The next second...
Ah Fei was startled, quickly flinging her hair with the fastest speed, like a torrent rushing down, attempting in vain to block Chen Fengâs steps. However, Chen Fengâs momentum was like a rainbow, his hands burning with flames seemingly capable of incinerating everything. The hair couldnât even get close; it turned to ashes in mid-air!
Ah Feiâs face turned pale; her instincts told her that she should leave here as quickly as possible because she was no match for this stranger in front of her.
But Su Tan was still inside; she couldnât just leave like this!
"Dozing off during a fight is a big no-no, didnât your family teach you that?"
"Whoosh!"
Chen Feng sneered, clasped his right hand into a ring, placed it by his lips, took a deep breath, and then his entire chest inflated. The next second, a high-temperature flame rushed toward Ah Fei, and during the gathering process, the flame surprisingly formed a dragonâs head. If Shi Xiong were standing here, he would be greatly shocked because this dragon head looked exactly like the one he had previously created.
Countless orange-red flames coalesced into form, eventually becoming a miniature golden dragon, sparkling with astonishing brilliance in this bathroom.
Ah Fei was alarmed, quickly trying to evade this strike, but she hadnât even moved when the fiercely aggressive dragon head struck her chest.
"Boom!"
Ah Feiâs so-called hair offensive was instantly torn to shreds, and the terrifying power slammed her directly against the wall behind, with a "crack" soundâher ribcage breaking.
Compared to Shi Xiongâs golden dragon, which purely considered explosion an art, the dragon head Chen Feng created now focused more on quality. Clearly flames, an intangible force, yet at this time, it seemed to possess the weight of ten thousand pounds, having a substance of its own!
That wasnât the end; Chen Fengâs figure flashed again, catching up to Ah Fei, who was still flying backward and spitting blood. He reached out with a hand, cutting through as easily as a bamboo, grabbing Ah Fei by the neck, lifting her up.
"Let her go!"
Su Tan turned pale at this sight, rushed over, and immediately a few illusionary green wolves coagulated around her. Clearly, she intended to save Ah Fei, who was in danger of losing her life.
"Crack..."
A crisp sound.
"Cough, cough... sob... sob..." Ah Feiâs eyes twitched, tears filling her eyes. She hadnât expected to lose so miserably, with no chance to fight back from the beginning.
"Is this the tone of someone asking for mercy?"
Chen Feng didnât care about Ah Feiâs life or death, just lifted his head, making eye contact with Su Tan. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The killing intent gathered, causing a slight sense of fear.
"No, we admit defeat... You are strong, as long as you let Ah Fei go, I can pretend that nothing happened today." Su Tan bit her lip, conceding.
"Pretend nothing happened?" Chen Feng seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke, swinging his arm and tossing Ah Fei aside.
"You..." Su Tan watched this scene, obviously a bit indignant, hurriedly ran to Ah Feiâs side, and only after seeing that there was no major issue did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Roar..."
The golden dragon circled around Chen Feng, seemingly alive, letting out a long roar, like the sound of craving for blood.
Chen Feng placed his hand on the dragonâs head, seemingly calming down its murderous intent, looking down at Su Tan and said, "This matter originally stemmed from your provocation, and now youâre playing the victim. What do you think, should you be beaten?"
Su Tanâs chest heaved, clearly not expecting things to go this far. She had intended to investigate Chen Feng, but he suddenly appeared before her; this unexpected turn of events left her astonished.
Moreover, the opponentâs strength wasnât weak. If he really wanted to make a move, even if she could protect herself, Cottonwood and Ah Fei couldnât be cared for.
Under such circumstances, the only option was to concede, even if forced to tear off the facade, now wasnât the time.
Su Tan exhaled a breath of impure air, her momentum weaker than before, then spoke, "Youâre right, todayâs responsibility lies entirely on my side, and I will give you satisfactory compensation."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "No need to apologize, and as for compensation, Iâm not interested in what you have to offer, and you donât have what I want."
Chen Feng sneered, a series of words, half dismissive and half purposeful.
"Then... what do you want?" Su Tanâs face reddened, her breath slightly disordered.
She was waiting, waiting for Chen Feng to name a price.
Little did she know, in the next second, Chen Feng suddenly pointed at Su Tan, his expression solemn, "I want you!"
