185: Willow Breeze, Concealing its Simplicity

"Damned human..."

Deep in a mountain range, a White Fox lay prone on a giant rock, its expression incredibly unsightly.

Ever since the start of the unrest in the Chaotic Plains, it had been suffering setback after setback!

It hadn't had a single bit of good luck!

The only consolation was that it had obtained a drop of demon god essence blood!

Killing intent flickered in the White Fox's eyes like something physical. "Damned human! Once this king recovers, the first thing I'll do is kill you!"

The power Fang Bai had displayed was too monstrous. Although he hadn't fully grown yet, he would definitely be a great enemy of the demon race in the future!

This boy must not be allowed to live!

The current priority was to recover from its injuries.

As for that human, he was being pursued by numerous Demon Kings. Once the backlash from his Forbidden Art set in, he would be lucky to survive at all!

Thinking of this, the White Fox's mood improved slightly.

Just as it was preparing to swallow the demon god essence blood, a voice suddenly rang out: "You look a bit disheveled!"

The White Fox's eyes narrowed as it stared at the newcomer with extreme vigilance. Seeing that it was Liu Feng, it was somewhat surprised.

How did he know it was here?

Although he was one of its own, the White Fox still felt wary. On the surface, however, it spoke politely: "Lord Liu, why have you come?"

Liu Feng replied, "You've practically been beaten like a dog; how could I not come and take a look?"

Hearing this, the White Fox's mouth twitched. Do you hear the words coming out of your mouth?

Liu Feng sized it up and asked with feigned confusion, "A mere human could beat you into this state?"

The White Fox said in a heavy voice, "I was already heavily injured, and that human is a bit strange..."

It explained the sequence of events.

After listening, Liu Feng sneered, "So it was your greed at work from the very beginning."

The White Fox said without changing its expression, "Scarlet Demon is dead. His belongings can help our demon race's strength advance a step further!"

Liu Feng cursed inwardly. What kind of nonsense is this? Who are you trying to fool?

Clearly, you were just greedy for someone else's resources, and yet you're dragging the demon race into it?

Liu Feng raised an eyebrow. "So you lost to a seventh-rank human?"

The White Fox's face darkened instantly. "Lord Liu, this master did not lose! It's just that the human didn't fight with honor!"

"Is there a difference?"

"I..."

In its heart, the White Fox was already cursing Liu Feng to high heaven. You humans are truly despicable!

Liu Feng ignored its gaze, his eyes falling seemingly randomly on its tail.

"Your current strength... you probably have less than thirty percent left, right?"

Hearing this, the White Fox's fur stood on end. It immediately retreated a distance, staring at Liu Feng warily. "What do you want to do?"

Liu Feng said with a chuckle, "Look at you, getting anxious again. We're all on the same side; what would I do to you? By the way, could you not stay so far away? I can't even hear you speak."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk toward the White Fox.

The latter felt more and more that something was wrong and shouted, "Stop right there! If you come any closer, this master won't be polite!"

Liu Feng stopped in his tracks.

The White Fox narrowed its eyes and said in a low voice, "Lord Liu, we both work for the demon race, and there's no enmity between us. I've always hoped you could become one of us!"

Liu Feng nodded. "Am I not already working for the demon race?"

"However... if I want to achieve even better results, I still need White Fox Demon Lord's help."

As Liu Feng spoke, he began walking again.

"What kind of help?"

The White Fox's muscles tensed up.

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth curled up. "Why, White Fox Demon Lord's life, of course!"

Boom!

The space around the White Fox suddenly collapsed, and a terrifying force silently exploded behind it!

The White Fox was prepared. Its four remaining giant tails swept out violently, neutralizing the attacks, but its body was still knocked back dozens of meters by the shock!

When the White Fox stopped, it looked at Liu Feng in shock. "You've actually broken through to the half-step eighth rank?!"

Liu Feng strolled over casually and said with a light laugh, "You're right. This is also thanks to the Gluttonous God's essence blood. I must say, it's truly good stuff..."

The White Fox's expression became unsightly. "Liu Feng, you dare to betray the demon race?"

Liu Feng chuckled. "Don't try to bait me. A fool like you shouldn't try to play mind games with me. As for why I want to kill you, it's simple: you're already useless. It's better if you become the stepping stone for my promotion to the eighth rank!"

Killing intent flashed in the White Fox's eyes. "I see. You want to devour this master to take the opportunity to break through to the eighth rank?!"

Liu Feng said with a smile, "Correct."

"Presumptuous!"

The White Fox said coldly, "You dare to kill this master? I am an Eighth-Rank Demon Lord of the demon race and hold no small status. If you kill me, are you not afraid of the demon god's punishment?"

Liu Feng sized it up and then said, "In your current state, you are no longer worthy of the title of Demon Lord. Clearly, you have become a discarded pawn."

The White Fox countered, "As long as this master refines the demon god essence blood, I can return to my peak!"

"Too slow! The demon race's plan cannot wait for you. Instead of waiting for you to recover, it's better to let me reach the eighth rank!"

Liu Feng shook his head and then added, "By the way, this is also the Gluttonous God's intention. In fact, if not for me, you would have died long ago. Why wait until now?"

The White Fox gnashed its teeth. "Dammit! So you've been waiting for this opportunity all along!"

"You only have yourself to blame. Why did you have to go looking for trouble with others and end up crippled? If you had focused on your cultivation steadily, I might not have acted against you..."

Liu Feng shook his head and spoke slowly, "Enough. I've wasted enough time talking to you; I've stalled for long enough. Please, be on your way."

A flash of ferocity crossed the White Fox's eyes. "You want to kill this master? You're not qualified!"

To be fair, compared to that human, Liu Feng was relatively normal. Although a half-step eighth rank was powerful, it was a Demon Lord!

Even if it only had thirty percent of its strength left!

Liu Feng slowly raised his hand. "Then let's try it."

He opened his hand toward the White Fox and then suddenly clenched it!

Crack!

A strange sound of space shattering rang out, and then the White Fox's body was suddenly cut into thousands of pieces!

However, a powerful demonic force soon filled the area. Those fragments suddenly converged, returning to the White Fox's form, though its aura was a bit weaker!

The White Fox stared at him in shock. "You're also a Space Element user?!"

Liu Feng said indifferently, "You didn't know?"

White Fox: ...How the hell was I supposed to know! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

It only knew that Liu Feng was a human genius who had submitted to the Gluttonous God, but it didn't know anything else. The strength Liu Feng was showing now made it extremely wary!

Space Element eighth rank!

This Liu Feng was actually an eighth-rank Space Element martial artist!

How could he be such a freak?! Wasn't he seventh rank?

The White Fox stared at Liu Feng with an incredibly solemn gaze. "You've been hiding your true ability! It seems you aren't truly loyal to the demon race!"

The corner of Liu Feng's mouth curled into a smile. "You forgot, I am human."
