Star Dragon God
At this moment, Xuanran quickly dashed out of the cave. Seeing Xuanran leave first, the Demon Lord, clad in a black helmet, was enveloped in swirling black mist, and his figure instantly became ethereal.
Huo Feng realized that the Demon Lord had used ‘Shadow Fade’ and immediately activated ‘Phantom Steps’ to reach the cave entrance, transforming his arms into Golden Dragon Arms, and struck down towards the ground.
Suddenly, the Demon Lord's ethereal form solidified and paused there. The Demon Lord was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Huo Feng and said with a strange smile, “Take off your mask; I find you somewhat interesting. You seem a bit different. Perhaps I won’t need to rely on the Xuanyuan family's resources.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng's face beneath the mask turned exceptionally grim. He recalled what Li Dan had said about them relying on killing others to absorb their corpse energy to enhance themselves. Thus, Huo Feng shouted angrily, “You scum are not worth living!”
“Then let’s see if you have that capability. Although you are somewhat special, the gap in our ranks is insurmountable,” the Demon Lord sneered at Huo Feng's words.
Huo Feng did not let anger cloud his judgment; he knew he was currently no match for him, but his desire to kill was already set. Just because he couldn't do it now didn't mean he wouldn't be able to in the future. With determination in his heart, Huo Feng decided to fight while looking for an opportunity to escape. He chose to take the initiative to confuse the Demon Lord. In an instant, Huo Feng used ‘Phantom Steps’ again and appeared behind the Demon Lord.
Once behind him, Huo Feng unleashed a ‘Star Blade’, sending countless silver-white Starlight Blades towards the back of the Demon Lord. However, in the next second, Huo Feng sensed something was wrong; the Demon Lord remained motionless in place, facing away from him. Not continuing his attack, Huo Feng quickly prepared to escape.
At that moment, as Huo Feng saw his silver-white attack hit the Demon Lord, he shattered and vanished into thin air. Simultaneously, Huo Feng felt a sharp pain from behind. He quickly dodged, but a blood hole appeared on his back, blood gushing out. If he hadn't reacted swiftly, that attack could have pierced through his body, leaving him severely injured if not dead.
Realizing the gap between them was too evident and that the Demon Lord had no intention of letting him go, he charged toward Huo Feng, increasingly filled with excitement.
‘Nether Break’
After launching an attack into the air before him, Huo Feng immediately turned around and used ‘Meteoric Steps’ to flee outside of the Shadow Cave.
With three consecutive steps of ‘Meteoric Steps’, Huo Feng dared not relax and continued using ‘Phantom Steps’ as he began running down the mountain. However, it wasn't long before he sensed the presence of the Demon Lord drawing closer.
“Ha ha ha! I really enjoy this cat-and-mouse game; let’s see how long you can hold out,” came the arrogant laughter of the Demon Lord from behind.
Knowing he could not escape, Huo Feng felt an overwhelming sense of unwillingness. But faced with reality, he understood that fleeing was futile; it would be better to make a grand stand instead. So he stopped, turned around to face the approaching Demon Lord, and removed his mask.
Seeing this action, the Demon Lord also paused, looking at Huo Feng with interest, and slowly said, "Have you finally realized the gap and decided to give in? It makes sense; becoming my sacrifice will spare you some suffering. You should have chosen this long ago."
Huo Feng angrily replied, "Scum like you deserve to die. I won't let you have your way so easily. I only regret being born a few years too late and not having the same level as you."
‘Phantom Steps’
Huo Feng raised his Golden Dragon Arms and attacked the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord sneered at Huo Feng, saying, "Can a grain of rice shine? I doubt you can even struggle in your dying moments."
When Huo Feng was only a few dozen steps away from Mokuzhu, a barrage of Nether Break attacks was unleashed. Gathering all the Origin Force within him, Huo Feng executed Phantom Steps to its utmost limit and arrived at the left side of the Demon Lord, launching another Raging Wind Demon Finger attack. However, these attacks did not hit the Demon Lord but struck the empty space nearby.
Seeing Huo Feng's attack, Mokuzhu laughed even more arrogantly, saying, "I truly admire your cowardice in turning back to attack. Hahaha!"
Huo Feng continued to attack around the Demon Lord, gradually feeling some exhaustion of his Origin Force. Mokuzhu stood still, watching Huo Feng.
As Huo Feng approached Mokuzhu's back again and prepared to launch another attack into empty space, he suddenly accelerated towards the back of the Demon Lord. Huo Feng summoned all his Origin Force and unleashed a Star Blade.
The Demon Lord sensed something unusual; although Huo Feng's attack couldn't kill him, he didn't want to be injured and quickly turned around.
‘Shadow Withering’
Huo Feng felt his bodily functions rapidly weakening but still exerted all his strength to launch his attack.
At that moment, the Demon Lord's form became illusory again and flashed to Huo Feng's left side, slamming a palm down onto the ground.
A dark giant claw rose beneath Huo Feng's feet, trapping him in place. At that moment, Huo Feng's Star Blade merely grazed the illusion left by the Demon Lord. Huo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood; his body had reached its limit while that giant claw remained beneath him, seemingly absorbing his vitality.
Gradually, Huo Feng collapsed to the ground as Shadow Withering continued to drain his bodily functions. The Demon Lord looked at Huo Feng with amusement and said, "The weak will always be weak. Even if they possess a strong spirit, they still crawl beneath the feet of the strong."
Huo Feng knew he could not escape this calamity. In the distance, hidden in the shadows, Chief Liu sensed that things were not going well and prepared to take action.
Just as Chief Liu was about to rush in to rescue Huo Feng, an unusual and terrifying aura emerged, heading towards Huo Feng. This aura was sensed by Huo Feng, and the Demon Lord also felt it. The three of them were uncertain whether it was friend or foe, and all heightened their vigilance, paying attention to the direction from which the aura was coming. Meanwhile, Chief Liu was quickly closing in.
When Chief Liu was still over a hundred meters away from Huo Feng, the oppressive feeling from that aura had already arrived. Chief Liu felt his speed slow down significantly and sensed that it was the presence of a dangerous magical beast.
The Demon Lord also felt it; his hold on Huo Feng seemed to uncontrollably loosen. At that moment, the Demon Lord's expression fluctuated between uncertainty and desire to escape, but he hesitated to leave behind such a high-quality sacrifice like Huo Feng.
Just when the Demon Lord was indecisive, the magical beast had already arrived. This beast stood at least three meters tall, covered in light blue scales, with a pair of shiny black horns on its head. Its massive tail, also covered in scales, swayed behind it as it stood on its powerful legs.
However, what shocked Huo Feng were the beast's enormous claws, which resembled his Golden Dragon Arm but were light blue in color.
The three of them anxiously watched this gigantic beast as it did not attack anyone but slowly approached Huo Feng, bowing its massive body down. Its large face came close to Huo Feng, and its lantern-like big eyes curiously stared at him.
The beast's nostrils flared as it breathed heavily, causing Huo Feng to blink repeatedly. However, instead of feeling threatened by this magical beast, Huo Feng felt a sense of closeness.
At that moment, Huo Feng sensed that the drop of blood in his heart seemed eager to break through the Golden Light Membrane and fly out of his body. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ah."
