Chapter 58 - Demon Commander!

At this moment, in the southwest region of Luofeng Canyon, an unforeseeable and terrifying change had already taken place.

The four teams that had fired distress signals in front simply couldn’t hold out until the arrival of the sect elders and were completely annihilated.

Forty or fifty lives, in the blink of an eye, vanished without a trace!

Ling Feng and his team had no idea what horrific event had occurred; they could only hear heart-wrenching cries of agony from afar, while startled birds fled their nests, filling the entire forest with an atmosphere of unrest and tension that nearly drove one to collapse.

“Run!

Run for your lives!”

At this very moment, the only thought in the minds of all the members in Ling Feng’s team was to run desperately.

Jiang Wanqing clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with doubt.

This was supposed to be a very ordinary training area; she had even led teams here a few times before.

Yet, peculiarly this time, they first encountered members of the Demon Clan, and then this calamity unfolded.

What on earth had happened in Luofeng Canyon?

“Into the mountains!

Find a place to hide first!”

The feeling of crisis in Ling Feng’s heart grew ever more distinct, the dangerous aura behind them drawing ever closer.

The roaring of wild beasts resounded intermittently.

The demons, which would normally launch frenzied attacks upon seeing humans, seemed to be scared as well, their bodies powerless and limbs limp as they lay on the ground, as if waiting for the arrival of their king.

This even included fierce hunters like the Bloodthirsty Demon Leopard and the Gale Demon Wolf!

“Bloodline Shock!” Jiang Wanqing’s face dramatically changed, “I know what’s happening now, it’s a Demon… a Demon Commander, a Demon Clan expert of the Demon Commander level!”

“Demon Commander?” Ling Feng clenched the Mo Yuan Sword in his hand, swallowing hard once again.

Within the Demon Clan, based on strength, there are many ranks including Demon Soldiers, Demon Generals, Demon Commanders, Demon Monarchs, and Demon Kings, among others.

Within the records of the Sky White Empire, a Demon King is considered on par with the peak Martial Artists of the Empire, while a Demon Clan member of the Demon Commander level is equivalent to a human of the Origin Transformation Realm.

It is important to note that within the expansive Wenxian Sect, other than Sect Leader Lin Canglang, only Duanmu Qingshan had reached this realm.

This indicated just how terrifying a Demon Commander could be.

“Demon… Demon Commander!”

The reaction of the other team members was even less composed, with some collapsing to the ground with their legs giving way.

“Luofeng Canyon is usually so rare to even come across a Third-rank demon, how could a Demon Commander possibly appear out of nowhere?”

Jiang Wanqing’s face was filled with shock.

Forget about a Demon Commander; even a Fourth-rank demon beast would be enough to wipe out all of the Asking Immortal Sect Disciples who were training in Luofeng Canyon!

(PS: A Fourth-rank demon beast is equivalent to a human of the Origin Transformation Realm and a Demon Clan member of the Demon Commander level.

Normally, within the same rank, the Demon Clan is stronger than demon beasts, and demon beasts are stronger than humans.)

Ling Feng’s expression was grave.

The situation was dire, and if they were not careful, they might all be facing a dead end!

Outside of Luofeng Canyon, the five elders of the Asking Immortal Sect responsible for rescue were previously resting comfortably hidden upon a large tree.

Suddenly, they saw a distress signal flare up, its crimson light illuminating half of the sky.

“What’s happening, just in the peripheral area of Luofeng Canyon, with two disciples of the Magnetic Condensation Realm accompanying them, they still need to fire a distress signal?” one of the white-browed elders showed a trace of displeasure on his face.

“This generation of disciples is really getting worse,” another elder donned in a red robe shook his head, “Well, I’ll go check it out.”

However, before this red-robed Elder had a chance to act, three more rescue signals shot up from the same direction, almost simultaneously.

“This…” All the Elders suddenly soared into the sky, utilizing the Sky Control Technique to hover midair, their brows deeply furrowed.

“What on earth is going on?

ic Condensation Realm Tenth Level.

His strength was nearly on par with that of the Peak Masters.

“Alright, let’s follow Elder Tie Jian’s plan.

Hopefully, those Disciples will be able to hold out!” said the red-robed Elder, sweeping his large sleeves, as everyone practically at the same moment took to the air on the wind, darting toward the southwestern area of Luofeng Canyon.

Naturally, flying on the wind was much faster than walking through the mountains.

In roughly half an hour, the Elders had hastened to the location from where the signals had been sent.

They quickly dispersed to find the whereabouts of the Disciples.

However, what they found were corpses disfigured beyond recognition, scattered in all directions—north, south, east, and west.

The four teams, along with an Early-stage Pulse Condensation little Captain, were completely annihilated!

In a short while, the five Elders regrouped, each with a deeply solemn expression on their faces.

“Dead, all of them dead!”

“Damn beasts, daring to kill dozens of our Disciples!”

The outrage among the Elders was uncontainable.

Just then, a black mist rose up from the ground, with a terrifying demonic energy that surged like fiery flames.

The horrific demon energy bore down on them, causing the Elders to quake in heart and mind.

“Hehehehe…

are you here to kill me?” came a low, hoarse voice from deep within the earth—as jarring as a thunderclap on a clear day, chilling to the bone.

The five Elders’ eyelids twitched simultaneously, and as they turned around, they saw that amidst the billowing demonic energy, twelve Demon beasts were standing upright, clad in armor-like gear, each brandishing weapons, staring unfriendly at the five of them.

“Demon Clan!” The red-robed Elder’s eyelids jumped wildly.

These were not any Third Rank Demon beasts; they were clearly members of the Demon Clan!

Twelve Demon Clan members!

How could there be twelve Demon Clan members in Luofeng Canyon?

Standing among the twelve was a monster with a tiger’s head and a human’s body, carrying a heavy axe, with a cruel smile at the corners of its mouth and blood-red eyes fixed on the five Elders.

The terror radiating from it nearly suffocated the Five Elders.

Just the leading Tiger-headed Demon alone was enough to ensure the total annihilation of all five of them, not to mention the other eleven Demon Clan members.

“You five have some skill,”

Among the group of Demons was a Spider Woman with eight legs, whose body had some female characteristics, with exaggeratedly prominent breasts covered only by two leaves.

However, the sight of her ferocious and horrifying face was enough to scare someone into impotence for life!

The Spider Woman extended her blood-red tongue, licking the sharp fangs at the corner of her mouth, and coldly said, “Speak up, was it you five who killed Thirteen?”

“Thirteen,” mentioned by her, was the mutated Red-tailed Fox that Ling Feng had slain a few nights before.

The Red-tailed Fox had not long mastered its mutation and was the weakest.

It was supposed to be out hunting but ended up being killed by Ling Feng instead.

“What Thirteen?

I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Elder Tie Jian, regaining some composure, replied through clenched teeth, “Honorable Demon Commander, this seems to be the activity range of the Human Clan, not the territory of the Demon Clan, right?”

“Who cares about territory?

It is you despicable humans who killed Thirteen; a blood debt must be repaid in blood!”

One of the imposing Black Bear Demons roared, swinging a huge hammer in his hand, “Big brother, don’t waste words with them.

Just like we slaughtered those humans just now, kill them.

Heh heh heh, I haven’t had my fill yet!”
