EBE #721 - Suppression by surprise
#721 - Suppression by surprise
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly, his words carrying a hint of unrestrained arrogance: "You beast, you truly don't know what's good for you.
I originally intended to do you a favor, to sit down and have a good talk, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for you.
But now, you attack me without rhyme or reason, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing this, the Nine Profound Blazing Firebird, Lie Shuang'er, roared in anger, her voice filled with resentment and hatred: "You dog thief human, how dare you speak so boastfully! Impolite? What can you do? You're just in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
And I am already a half-step Demon Emperor, a top existence among the demon race, like a ceiling high above. How dare you still act arrogantly towards me?"
However, before she could finish speaking, Li Chengfeng was unwilling to waste any more time.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the river of history seemed to be summoned by him, surging like the sea, carrying a blazing sea of fire and the waters of the Yellow Springs, surging and roaring.
Once the sea of fire and the Yellow Springs water appeared, they shot out like divine soldiers descending from the sky, like rockets, incompatible as water and fire, colliding with each other, creating deafening roars.
With a loud "bang," the immense power swept Lie Shuang'er, the Nine Profound Blazing Firebird, into it.
She only felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.
At this moment, scenes from the past suddenly flashed through her mind, the bits and pieces from the river of history, and she was like a drop of water in the river, carrying her own past.
She recalled when she was young and just starting out, having just advanced to the Demon King stage, and full of longing, she came out to train, but unexpectedly, she was tricked by humans and almost caused the destruction of her race.
From then on, she was filled with deep hatred for humans.
And her mother, in order to save her, also died in the Yellow Springs, dismembered by humans and refined into a magical artifact.
Although she later advanced to the late stage of the Demon King and avenged her mother, that memory would forever be like a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart.
At this moment, these memories appeared one by one before her eyes, like a revolving lantern.
She was like an observer, watching her past unfold.
Just in this moment of distraction, she suddenly felt a great force attacking her, and before she could react, she was slammed hard onto the ground, water splashing everywhere, and the pain was unbearable.
Li Chengfeng finally attacked Lie Shuang'er. At this moment, his figure soared to a height of ten zhang, fully displaying the majestic power of the ancient demon.
He swung his giant fist, directly smashing it towards Lie Shuang'er, the Blazing Firebird. The power of that punch was enough to change the color of the sky and the earth. Lie Shuang'er's bones fractured in an instant, her meridians twisted, and she was in great pain.
After entering the river of history, Lie Shuang'er was suppressed by a mysterious rule, her power was weakened, and her defense greatly reduced.
And under the influence of the illusion, her mind was confused, and she was even more unable to concentrate her spirit to resist Li Chengfeng's attack.
At this time, Li Chengfeng's ancient demon body was comparable to a half-step Transformation God. Simply comparing strength, he was undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Moreover, he had also refined the blood of the ancient demon, making his power even more violent and unstoppable.
This strike, Li Chengfeng named "Heaven Collapse." Although he had not yet reached the level of power that could truly collapse the sky, this punch was enough to severely injure Lie Shuang'er, leaving her on the verge of death.
Lie Shuang'er let out a shrill scream, her huge bird body fell into the river of history, splashing a spray of water.
At this moment, those evil spirits lurking in the river took the opportunity to drill into her body and began to devour her power frantically.
And the Yellow Springs water was like a chain, tightly locking her in place and dragging her towards the depths of the water.
Only at this moment did Lie Shuang'er truly feel fear.
The shadow of death once again enveloped her heart, and she finally realized that this seemingly ordinary human was hiding such unfathomable power.
Under Li Chengfeng's command, the evil spirits did not kill her, but only devoured half of Lie Shuang'er's power.
As her power drained away, Lie Shuang'er, the Blazing Firebird, slumped weakly on the ground, her power sealed by the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, she had turned into a small bird, shaped like a sparrow, honestly curled up in the midst of the raging flames that originally belonged to her, but now seemed exceptionally dazzling.
Li Chengfeng reached out and easily grabbed her in his hand, pinching her neck, his tone as cold as the twelfth lunar month: "You beast, you truly don't know what's good for you. I originally wanted to make friends with you and survive together in this world, but you attacked me with murderous intent.
Now that you've come to such an end, it's your own fault, and you can't blame anyone else."
The sudden change in this scene shocked everyone present, as if they were watching a thrilling drama.
Demon King Lie Wenxiu was even more frightened, she had never seen her mother so helpless.
In her memory, her mother was so powerful, so majestic, but in front of this human, she was so vulnerable, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, Lie Wenxiu did not choose to escape, but suddenly mustered her courage and pounced towards Li Chengfeng.
Although she was already injured, how could she, with her early-stage Demon King strength, be a match for Li Chengfeng? This pounce was more like a desperate struggle, an anger at her mother's helplessness, and a self-blame for her own incompetence.
Li Chengfeng just raised his hand and slapped her lightly, like swatting a fly, knocking her to the ground, on the verge of death.
He sneered and said, "You are truly extremely stupid. What you should do now is turn around and run, run away like your mother did back then, go cultivate, improve your strength, and wait until one day when you cultivate into a half-step Demon Emperor, then come back and take revenge on me.
Back then, your mother did the same thing, she didn't have the courage to face the powerful human experts, so she chose to escape, and from that time on, she had prejudices against the human race, thinking that there were no good people in the human race.
But I want to tell you that even if you are wrong, I, Li Chengfeng, am definitely not that kind of person.
I respect every life, whether it is human or demon, as long as you are willing to coexist peacefully, I, Li Chengfeng, am willing to be friends with you."
Lie Wenxiu seemed to understand, but feeling the loosening in Li Chengfeng's tone, she quickly knelt on the ground with a plop and pleaded: "Senior, please let my mother go.
She just didn't distinguish the facts for a moment and offended Senior.
Why should Senior go to such extremes? If Senior needs anything from us, please speak up, we will definitely cooperate to the best of our ability and dare not have any other disobedience."
Li Chengfeng nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "You little bird looks a little more pleasing to the eye, knowing how to assess the situation.
In fact, there are still good people in this world."
When Li Chengfeng said this, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat faster, as if he was stating a simple fact.
However, if his opponents knew, they would definitely scold him for being shameless.
After all, Li Chengfeng had cultivated the Human Head Tower, killing millions of people, but now he was here talking eloquently about "good people."
At this time, the most surprised were Qiao Asan and Ma Zhiping.
The two of them were completely dumbfounded, feeling that their worldview had been completely subverted.
