Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Competition
Liang Chengyuâs lips twitched slightly; from Ling Fengâs words, he sensed deep disdain.
"Hmph!" Liang Chengyu snorted coldly, not bothering to respond to Ling Fengâs words.
Ling Feng didnât mind either, only smiling faintly: "Since I say it is the Demonâs Horn, I will naturally prove it!"
As he spoke, Ling Feng infused the power of the Hell Black Flame into the Demonâs Horn, and suddenly, the Demonâs Horn was engulfed by the Hell Black Flame, burning fiercely in the air.
Everyone watched this scene intently, many showing expressions of shock and vigilance upon seeing the black flame.
The power of the Hell Black Flame was absorbed by the Demonâs Horn, and a distant roar of anger was heard. The Demonâs Horn suddenly enlarged, changing from the size of a palm to over two meters tall in the blink of an eye. When the Hell Black Flame disappeared, what appeared before everyone was an Abyssal Demon emitting steam all over its body!
"Oh my god, what is this thing! Why did it suddenly appear?"
"Could this be the demon transformed from the Demonâs Horn? This aura is really fierce!"
"Hiss, could it be that what the Dragon King and Ling Feng said is true? This is definitely not an earthly creature; this aura... is even three times stronger than mine."
"Yes, if a different race really invaded, what would we use to resist?"
...
Present here were all veterans of the Cultivation World; they were naturally able to discern whether this demonâs power was something possessed by Earth.
"This demon is transformed by the Demonâs Horn!" Ling Feng clapped his hands, and the two-meter-tall demon slowly opened its eyes, its dark green pupils bearing a sinister look.
When the others present met the demonâs gaze, they all felt a chill down their spine because, in the demonâs eyes, they saw mad slaughter and destruction.
"Ling Feng, is the demon you previously killed comparable in strength to this one?" someone couldnât help but ask.
Ling Feng shook his head: "The demon we slaughtered, its strength was much stronger than the demon transformed by this Demonâs Horn, probably only about a third as strong!"
A third of the strength? Just a third of the strength, yet it puts such pressure on everyone. Just how powerful would a fully restored demon be?
"Is this demon really this powerful?" At this moment, the Carefree Taoist stood up and said, "Ling Feng, could we send someone to spar with this demon?"
Ling Feng glanced at the Carefree Taoist: "Of course, this demon transformed by the Demonâs Horn is under my control. If you want to test its strength, I can give it a battle command!"
Long Guangyi said at this time: "That could be good too. Ling Feng, let the demon you summoned spar with the Carefree Taoist, so everyone can have an intuitive understanding of the demonâs strength."
The Carefree Taoistâs face changed; he originally just wanted to lead the way and let others spar with the demon. He hadnât expected the Dragon King to suggest that he spar with this creature, which wasnât in the Carefree Taoistâs plans at all.
But since the Carefree Taoist was the one to bring it up, he couldnât refuse outright, and thus had to accept.
"Then everyone, letâs head to the Practice Field now, just in time to see whether the Carefree Taoistâs skills have improved!" Long Guangyi said with a smile.
Very soon, everyone arrived at the Dragon Groupâs Practice Field. Everyone was extremely curious and concerned about the demonâs strength.
At this time, Ling Feng stood by Long Guangyiâs side and softly asked: "Master, why does this Carefree Taoist give me such a bad feeling, like heâs been targeting you all along."
Long Guangyi glanced at Ling Feng: "Indeed, there is some friction between the Carefree Taoist and meâit goes back to when I was younger. However, the Carefree Taoist comes from Qingxu Palace and is one of the most renowned experts there. His skill is not something ordinary people can match. Are you confident in the demon you summoned?"
Ling Feng shook his head: "Actually, itâs my first time summoning this thing, so Iâm not very clear about its combat power."
"By the way, when did you kill a demon? As your master, I wasnât aware!" Long Guangyi looked at Ling Feng and said, "You have quite a few little secrets, donât you?"
đđđŠâŻđžđŠđđđđ·âŻđ.đđđ
Ling Feng chuckled: "Itâs only natural for me to have my little secrets too."
At this time, the Carefree Taoist had already stood in the Practice Field, clad in a Taoist robe, holding a longsword, looking from afar like a sage with an ethereal aura.
"Ling Feng, let your demon take the field!" the Carefree Taoist said calmly, "Iâm quite curious to see just how strong your demon truly is!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly and then clapped his hands. The demon standing beside him moved its body and then leaped onto the Practice Field like a savage beast. Looking at the Carefree Taoist, the demonâs eyes were filled with killing intent, and its aura grew ever stronger.
"Itâs nothing but a brute!" the Carefree Taoistâs longsword flickered, and then he charged forward.
"This is the Qingxu Piaomiao Sword of the Qingxu Palace, also the Carefree Taoistâs signature technique!" Long Guangyi said, "When the Qingxu Piaomiao Sword is wielded, the Sword Intent flows endlessly like a gentle breeze, and no one knows where the next strike will come from. Moreover, his longsword is one of Qingxu Palaceâs five Divine Swords, the Jade Water Sword. If it entangles your demon, Iâm afraid it will be in grave danger!"
Ling Fengâs mouth curled into a faint smile: "Master, I still believe the demon can win; care to place a bet?"
Long Guangyi huffed: "So young, and you already think of gamblingâthis is not right! But since youâre so confident, I will... not bet with you. Either way, whether the Carefree Taoist wins or loses doesnât concern me!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes; he thought his master would place a bet with him but didnât expect him to be so resistant to any suggestion.
And at this moment, in the Practice Field, the Carefree Taoistâs figure flickered, and the Sword Intent flowed endlessly; the Qingxu Piaomiao Sword was fully deployed, drawing gasps from the surrounding peopleâit seemed the Carefree Taoistâs cultivation had indeed advanced.
However, the demon facing the Carefree Taoist remained unmoved; its dark green eyes gradually turned red, and the thick armor on its body grew sharp spines.
"Die!" The Carefree Taoist seized the opportunity, thrusting the Jade Water Sword fiercely at the demonâs chest.
With a crunch, the Jade Water Sword pierced several centimeters into the demonâs chest, and dark green blood flowed from the wound. But the Jade Water Sword did not penetrate the demon; instead, it was stuck in the demonâs chest armor.
Roar! At this moment, the demonâs body moved, its sharp claws suddenly swiped at the Carefree Taoist, making a screeching sound in the air from friction.
"Not good!" The Carefree Taoist sensed imminent danger, twisting his body as the demonâs claws swiped past his eyes. He kicked the demonâs abdomen and then forcefully pulled out the Jade Water Sword with his right hand.
