Merging with Demon Spirits
Chapter 715 - 531: Impatient Revenge
Among the Twelve Base Cities, Shangjing has always been the safest place, where chaos and unrest have never occurred.
Not only the surrounding Satellite Cities, but people from the other Base Cities, if they have money and connections, will do everything possible to enter Shangjing.
Each year, over a hundred thousand people die on the way to Shangjing.
Jiang City is Lin Feng’s hometown, where he grew up; he bought a house there, but he still brought his family to Shangjing.
The highest home price in other Base Cities is fifty to sixty thousand, but the core area of Shangjing starts at a hundred thousand.
Shangjing is synonymous with safety. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The residents of Shangjing never imagined that a new Space Gate would appear without warning, nor did they imagine that one day they would face the massacre by a Demon Beast army.
"Roar roar...."
"Howl howl...."
When the Space Gate appeared, the sound of roaring and howling released, in just a few seconds, hundreds of Demon Beasts passed through the Space Gate, more and more Demon Beasts crossed, densely packed, trampling one another, crowded together, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse.
"Whoosh!"
A giant eagle covered in pitch-black scales rushed out from the Space Gate, spreading its wings, it tilted as it passed through two buildings, its wings as strong as steel nearly sliced the buildings in half.
"Awo..."
A five-meter-tall giant ape beat its chest, roaring wildly, it suddenly stomped on the ground, leaping up, its sturdy body like a small mountain, it landed thunderously on the rooftop of a mall.
"Howl..."
A silver giant wolf, its eyes as bloody, howled as a silvery crescent moon arc shot out, piercing through three pedestrians and then into a store, screams sounded, dust filled the sky.
No alarm, no warning, disaster descended suddenly.
Faced with Demon Beasts, ordinary people had no ability to resist, the Demon Beast army charged around, wantonly slaughtering and devouring humans.
Cry for help and wailing sounded with fear and despair, the street quickly stained red with blood.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Ten seconds after the Space Gate appeared, the Guardian Divine Artifact [Venus] sounded a piercing alarm, floating mid-air [Venus] unfolded golden ’scales’, half-meter diameter cannons emerged, cannon direction shifted, pointed at the pitch-black Space Gate.
"Boom, rumble!"
Cannon fire thundered, the Demon Beast group that just leaped from the Space Gate was instantly bombarded by missiles.
Cannon fire ignited the Space Gate, its surface rumbled like a lake, seemingly contaminated by a layer of flames.
The Demon Beast army was first blocked by cannon fire, but in just tens of seconds, already thousands of Demon Beasts were frenzied inside the city, chaos engulfed the city.
...
Lin Feng picked up his sister, on the way back didn’t linger, went to a supermarket to buy some groceries and returned to the compound, just into the compound not far, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, his face slightly changed, turned his head to look at the northwest.
"Brother, what’s wrong?"
Seeing her brother stop, expression serious and solemn, Ma Lele asked with some doubt.
She followed her brother’s gaze but found nothing.
"Brother, what’s happened?"
"You go home first, stay with mom and dad, don’t go outside."
The tremor underfoot and the faint roaring of the Demon Beasts in his ears changed Lin Feng’s face slightly, he quickly said to Ma Lele, his figure already darted toward the northwest.
"Brother!"
Ma Lele shouted loudly, expression anxious, but Lin Feng had already disappeared.
"How could there be Demon Beasts appearing, looking at the commotion quite a number?"
Lin Feng leapt into the air, flapping the Spiritual Power Wings, at this moment the ground slightly trembled, not long after the Demon Beast roars sounded, the northwest, half of the sky was dyed red by flames, flames and boulders fell like raindrops.
"Boom, rumble."
Although separated by a distance, the sound of buildings collapsing, boulders falling still clearly transmitted.
"Ding ding ding."
Mobile phone vibrated, ringtone sounded, Lin Feng, while flying, took the phone from his pocket.
"Brother Feng, what happened?" On the other side, Yun Kai asked urgently.
"I don’t know either, I’m rushing there now, approximately thirty kilometers straight-line distance."
Lin Feng quickly said: "Shangjing will definitely be fine, but ordinary people are in danger, inform them to open location sharing in the group chat, share location, tell He Jun not to come out."
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng didn’t wait for Yun Kai to respond, then hung up the phone, by now he already saw the Guardian Divine Artifact emitting intense golden light, as cannon fire roared, a terrifying plume of smoke quickly ascended.
"What happened?"
"How can there be Demon Beasts?"
"Was the Space Gate breached? Then why was there no warning from the Guardian Divine Artifact?"
People in the streets and alleys stared towards the direction of the fiery inferno, bewildered and terrified.
"Damn it."
Lin Feng couldn’t help but curse. With the activation of Fish Dragon Transformation, purple-red Dragon Wings appeared. Lin Feng flapped the Dragon Wings, doubling his speed, rushing towards the blazing inferno. Missiles and fighter jets occasionally screamed past him.
Five minutes later, Lin Feng reached his destination. The massive Space Gate had already disappeared, but all he saw were corpses and ruins of buildings.
Seeing the scene before him, hearing the cries and screams of the suffering passersby, Lin Feng’s eyes turned bloodshot.
"Kill!"
With a shout, Lin Feng directly entered the Demon Transformation state, his body rapidly expanded up to three meters. Purple-red Dragon Scales covered his entire body, gleaming with a metallic sheen. Dragon Horns sprouted from his head, his body emitted a purple glow, and two purple figures emerged from within, forming the likeness of Lin Feng.
With the release of his Clone Soul Skill, arcs of electricity flickered beneath Lin Feng’s feet. He vanished from his original spot and appeared before a Seven Tier Demon Beast, striking out to directly pierce the beast’s chest. A still-beating heart was grasped in his palm, and he crushed it forcefully.
As the Demon Beast toppled over with a thunderous crash, Lin Feng vanished, and in his place appeared an injured passerby.
"Lin Feng?"
The woman looked in the direction where Lin Feng had disappeared. Eyes that had been filled with despair now carried a glimmer of hope. She hurried to her feet and began to flee for her life.
"Coming."
Lin Feng looked up at the sky. A radiant figure appeared in his sight, and golden swords rapidly took shape mid-air. With piercing howls, a rain of swords descended, piercing through Demon Beasts unable to dodge in time, pinning them in place.
Yun Kai arrived.
Despite being less powerful, he surpassed Lin Feng in hunting speed due to his Soul Skills.
Not just Yun Kai; in his sight, Zhan Tianyu, with six arms like a Demon God, dismembered a Demon Beast, then disappeared at a street corner.
Lin Feng merely glanced at the two, ignoring them, then moved and vanished again.
"Are there Aliens?"
Lin Feng suddenly saw a figure from behind. The figure wore a gray tracksuit, making it hard to discern their identity from behind. However, they continuously unleashed Soul Skills—oddly enough, not against Demon Beasts, but buildings.
Under their Soul Skills, buildings continuously collapsed.
Lin Feng shot towards the figure. The person seemed aware of being chased, yet did not flee or halt their Soul Skills until Lin Feng pierced their chest and they crumpled to the ground.
"An Alien!"
Seeing the pitch-black Horn, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.
He never expected Aliens to appear, causing carnage without valuing their lives.
Half an hour later, the sound of artillery ceased, and the world seemed to fall into silence.
When the Guardian Divine Artifact responded, no Demon Beast was able to breach the Space Gate. In just two minutes, the enormous Space Gate was forcibly shut.
What truly was tricky were those Demon Beasts rampaging through the city quickly. To protect the passersby, concentrated artillery wasn’t dared.
Yet with numerous Martial Artists and Demon Spirit Masters, along with Guardians deployed, the thousand Demon Beasts were swiftly hunted down.
The hunt was over, but the vicinity around the Space Gate, spanning ten kilometers, had become ruins.
Lin Feng slowly halted his steps, his chest heaving quickly, breathing hard. After half an hour of nonstop hunting, constantly unleashing Stand Soul Skills, his Soul Power and physical strength were somewhat depleted. His face was blackened by thick smoke, no longer recognizable.
"Damn it."
Standing amidst the desolation, Lin Feng looked around—a myriad of silhouettes lay strewn across, motionless, lifeless. Some bodies ripped open, exposing innards; others crushed beneath boulders and structures, blending cries with corpses to paint a doomsday-like scene, making Lin Feng’s body tremble slightly.
"Ah!"
Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, letting out a hysterical roar. Sadness and rage inside him seemed about to ignite him.
Using cellphone positioning, Yun Kai quickly appeared beside Lin Feng, followed by Yu Qiao and then Zhan Tianyu...
Some roared or silently observed the scene before them.
The scene was eerily familiar; the disaster lasted for only half an hour but the despair and fear seemed to spread.
Chaos.
Everything seemed chaotic.
The Aliens continuously stirred chaos the same way; Tianxing City and Shangjing today witnessed similarly.
These emerging Demon Beasts were almost entirely Mid and Low Level, even Seven Tier Demon Beasts were scarce. Against the Guardian Divine Artifact and Shangjing’s defending forces, they posed no real threat.
This kind of hunting didn’t affect the situation, yet intensified the fear among people.
Once such emotions reach extremes, people’s spirits and societal order would collapse.
As the nation’s capital, Shangjing never faced an attack, nor experienced such catastrophe, affecting nationwide, even worldwide repercussions.
The World Alliance press conference had only passed three days; out of 2000 Space Gates, only over three hundred were closed. No one had truly entered the Land of Fallen Gods, yet the retaliation of the Aliens had arrived urgently.
