Chapter 268: A Critical Moment!

However, typical Earth-Fire Flame Demons usually had dull and vacant eyes, yet this one seemed unusually lively and spirited.

A slight curve formed at the corner of He Zhongjie\'s mouth. This is definitely a mutated Earth-Fire Flame Demon. Ling Feng must have had remarkably good luck to tame such a spirit pet.

However, from this day forth, the ownership of this spirit pet shall change hands!

"Earth-Fire Flame Demon, your journey to become what you are today surely hasn\'t been easy. As a young master, I will show mercy and spare your life!"

He Zhongjie declared with a wave of his sleeve, sneering. "Boss Lei, it appears we have the same target to eliminate. Now is a crucial moment for that kid\'s cultivation. If we join forces, we can end his life in an instant!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Lei Lingyun\'s eyes. It was all because of that damned guy in the cave that his careful planning went to waste!

If he could ingest that Purple Creation Fruit, perhaps he could break through fifty meridian gates in one fell swoop!

It\'s important to note that reaching fifty meridian gates was considered a significant threshold and marked a distinct boundary.

Almost every year, among the enrolled students, only those with hidden talents had the opportunity to break through fifty meridian gates.

And even among those hidden talents, not all of them could achieve this level.

As for Lei Lingyun, although he was a newly appointed sky-tier student, he already had forty-nine meridian gates. However, he has been unable to break through.

His talent has firmly confined him to forty-nine meridian gates, but he was not content with that.

It wasn\'t easy to learn about the Purple Creation Fruit. However, Ling Feng beat him to it, leaving Lei Lingyun feeling extremely resentful.

"Kill!"

Lei Lingyun drew his sword with a cold glare aimed at the figure within the cave. His voice resonated with anger, seeming to squeeze out between clenched teeth.

"Um..."

He Zhongjie was taken aback by Lei Lingyun\'s sudden outburst. Why did this guy appear to hate Ling Feng even more than himself?

Meanwhile, thirty breaths had already passed!

"Fuck, how dare you guys ignore my presence?"

Emerging from the cave\'s entrance, Zifeng locked eyes with the most menacing figure, Lei Lingyun, and its body swiftly swelled with the wind.

In a flash, Zifeng\'s figure surged from half the height of a person to breaking through two zhang, and then three zhang!

In the end, Zifeng transformed into a towering giant wreathed in flames, standing at a height of five zhang and radiating a demonic aura akin to that of a demon lord as he stared coldly at his adversaries.

"What?"

Both He Zhongjie and Lei Lingyun were startled, with He Zhonglei even collapsing to the ground, his legs giving out beneath him.

A demon lord was on par with a fifth-tier demonic beast!

Furthermore, the aura emanating from Zifeng was nearly reaching the level of demon king!

Such a terrifying presence could likely crush them into pieces with just a flick of a finger.

"Quick, retreat!"

He Zhongjie urged, already preparing to flee.

However, Lei Lingyun remained much more cautious than He Zhongjie. Despite assuming a posture of escape, he kept his gaze fixed on Zifeng and did not act immediately.

For a full ten breaths, the two sides locked eyes until Lei Lingyun burst into laughter.

"You\'re just a fox pretending to be a tiger! While I\'m not sure how you managed to emit an aura close to that of a demon king, your strength probably hasn\'t even reached the level of a demon lord!"

Lei Lingyun waved his long sword, already seeing through Zifeng\'s act.

Although Zifeng could indeed flawlessly mimic the aura of the original Earth-Fire Flame Demon, the essence of the Earth-Fire Crystal, the most vital component of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon, had already been taken by Ling Feng for spirit infusion.

Without the Earth-Fire Crystal, the Earth-Fire Flame Demon was nothing but an empty shell.

Zifeng\'s true combat power was roughly equivalent to the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.

Moreover, its strength lay not in power but in its various strange and unique abilities.

"So, it\'s a fake!"

He Zhongjie, having escaped a short distance away, suddenly heard Lei Lingyun\'s words. He thought about how easily a demon lord of this level could annihilate them with a mere flick of the finger. Yet, this demon lord seemed too gentle.

Therefore, what Lei Lingyun said was most likely true.

"You guys saw through my act?"

Zifeng grinned, crossing his arms and staring mockingly at Lei Lingyun while showing no signs of panic.

Lei Lingyun hesitated momentarily, detecting a trace of cunning in Zifeng\'s smile.

He paused for a moment and was reluctant to act hastily.

"Hmph, you mindless demonic beast," He Zhongjie sneered. "I\'ve already given you a chance. Since you fail to recognize it, don\'t blame me for being merciless!"

He Zhongjie, unlike Lei Lingyun, lacked cunning. Seeing through Zifeng\'s bluff, he immediately unleashed a fierce attack towards Zifeng.

Recognizing this as the perfect opportunity to eliminate Ling Feng, he, despite the Earth-Fire Flame Demon\'s somewhat spirit nature, deemed it necessary to remove the obstacle in their path.

With fury, He Zhongjie delivered a powerful blow, employing an advanced sword technique of mystical tier. He even invoked a secret technique to enhance his true qi.

That single strike was potent enough to take down even some advanced fourth-tier demonic beasts!

Clang!

The anticipated image of the sword piercing through the Earth-Fire Flame Demon failed to materialize.

In a flash of purple light, his opponent changed from Zifeng to Ling Feng.

Their swords collided, yet Ling Feng stood firm and unwavering.

Meanwhile, He Zhongjie\'s arm trembled, causing his longsword to slip from his grasp and forcing him to stagger back several meters before he could regain his balance.

Ninety breaths had already passed right when the situation reached a critical point.

Throughout this period, Ling Feng utilized the power of his Human Dao Eye to absorb spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, replenishing approximately fifty percent of his true qi.

Ling Feng and Zifeng were in sync mentally, with Zifeng being fully aware of Ling Feng\'s progress. It tactically engaged in delaying tactics to temporarily hold off Lei Lingyun and He Zhongjie.

Now that Ling Feng had awakened, the next course of action was to solely entrust the situation to him. Zifeng had reverted to its pocket-sized stone form and perched on Ling Feng\'s neck, eagerly observing the situation.

It was time for Ling Feng\'s performance!

A chilling, ruthless aura slowly pulsated from Ling Feng.

He Zhongjie\'s expression froze abruptly, and his body trembled as if struck by electricity.

Instinctively, He Zhongjie abruptly retreated, swiftly positioning himself beside Lei Lingyun. Ling Feng\'s presence sent a chilling sensation down his spine.

He had already suspected that Ling Feng might have already grasped the sword will. However, when directly facing it, he felt confused and frightened.

"Boss Lei, this kid\'s awake. We must join forces, or we might not be able to handle him!"

He Zhongjie struggled to swallow, suddenly uncertain of whether or not Lei Lingyun\'s strength alone could overpower Ling Feng.

Lei Lingyun\'s eyes flashed with seriousness as he fixed his gaze on Ling Feng, his voice deep and solemn. "No wonder He Zhongjie sought me out to kill you. You are indeed no ordinary individual. However, since you dared steal what belongs to me, I must kill you today!

"I will even devour all your flesh and blood which might help me break through the limit of fifty meridian gates!"

The muscles on Lei Lingyun\'s face contorted into a fierce grimace. He believed Ling Feng had already consumed the Purple Creation Fruit which is how he acquired such formidable strength.

Therefore, his hatred towards Ling Feng intensified, and he even entertained the thought of devouring Ling Feng\'s flesh and blood in hopes of obtaining remnants of the Purple Creation Fruit\'s spiritual energy.

This man had truly descended into madness, becoming a lunatic!
