"Not bad. I've gained another hundred True Qi Pills!"
"Counting the rewards from before, I have six hundred True Qi Pills now!"
"Tsk. Once I reach the Houtian Realm, these True Qi Pills will let my cultivation advance rapidly!"
Lin Feng thought to himself as he put away the True Qi Pills.
Then he opened the jade bottle containing the antidote.
He gave it to his subordinates.
At that moment, the shock on the faces of Lin Feng's ten subordinates showed no sign of fading.
Every one of them looked utterly aghast.
When Jiang Deyun had said he was going to slaughter them, one by one, they had all thought they were as good as dead.
There was no way they could match Jiang Deyun.
Even if they fought to the death, they wouldn't be able to wound him.
After all, to ordinary Martial Artists, the gap between the Body Tempering Realm and the Houtian Realm was immense.
Unlike Lin Feng, a prodigy who could cross that divide with ease.
Yet Jiang Deyun hadn't been arrogant for long before Lin Feng crushed him with two palms!
Then Lin Feng had finished him off with an arrow, leaving his corpse mangled beyond recognition.
Those terrifying, ruthless methods had struck awe into everyone present.
"Thank you, Squad Leader!"
"Squad Leader, you're incredibly strong! You actually killed a Houtian Realm martial artist from a lower realm!"
The Demon Suppression Guards who had taken the antidote looked at Lin Feng with boundless gratitude.
After taking the antidote, Hu Biao even kowtowed heavily to Lin Feng.
"Squad Leader, thank you for saving my life!"
Lin Feng simply waved a hand.
He'd saved them because they happened to be there.
Jiang Deyun had been as good as dead anyway.
Meanwhile, Hu Biao was thrilled. Joining Lin Feng's ranks was a stroke of incredible luck!
With this kind of potential, Lin Feng would at least become a Captain in the future—and one of the strongest Captains, too!
He might even reach the level of a Colonel...
None of the Demon Suppression Guards had expected this. They had thought Jiang Deyun, at the Houtian Third Layer, would be the strongest on this mission.
But Lin Feng was the strongest!
After handing the antidote to his subordinates, Lin Feng looked into the distance, toward Jiang Deyun's men.
Not long ago, they had been going to surround and kill him.
Then Jiang Deyun had released the Poison Mist and poisoned his own men as well.
Now Lin Feng was wondering what to do with them. Should he just shoot them with an arrow?
That would raise his proficiency, too.
Just then,
a strong stench of blood wafted through the air!
Lin Feng caught the reek of blood spreading through the air and narrowed his eyes.
A sudden smell of blood was no ordinary thing.
At that very moment,
the hurried pounding of footsteps came from the distance.
Lin Feng immediately nocked an arrow and watched the distance with utmost vigilance!
Two Squad Leaders came sprinting toward them, drenched in blood and covered in wounds, running as if their lives depended on it.
Thirteen Demon Suppression Guards were with them!
Every one of them was covered in blood, as if they had only just escaped the gates of death.
Seeing their condition, Lin Feng's heart tightened.
The most likely thing capable of injuring them here was a demon.
And if they had fled this way, that meant the demon was nearby!
Just then,
the two Squad Leaders looked frantic.
"Where's Squad Leader Jiang? Where is he!"
"A Second-Order Demon has appeared! It's terrifyingly powerful. Only Squad Leader Jiang can hold it back!"
When the two Squad Leaders spoke of that Pig Demon, a trace of fear flickered in their eyes.
It was too terrifying.
That Pig Demon was far too destructive. Only Jiang Deyun could hold it back.
They were no match for it at all!
The two Squad Leaders glanced around.
Then they saw a bizarre sight.
Jiang Deyun's subordinates were sprawled on the ground, weak and drained.
Many of them kept glancing at Lin Feng in abject terror, as though they had no idea what had happened.
And not far from Lin Feng, a headless corpse lay motionless.
Taking a closer look,
the two Squad Leaders' eyes flew wide open!
One of them pointed at the corpse with a trembling finger and said, "That's—that's Squad Leader Jiang's body?!"
Jiang Deyun's head had been blown apart, leaving his face unrecognizable, but they still recognized his clothes.
Thud, thud, thud...
Just then, more footsteps rang out, like an army bearing down on them, like ten thousand steeds galloping—a great, surging tide!
Not long after the sound began,
more than a hundred little Pig Demons surrounded Lin Feng and the others on all sides.
These little Pig Demons weren't humanoid. They still looked like demons.
Their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies were enormous, each as big as an elephant.
As they charged in, they truly seemed like an army bearing down on them, their oppressive presence overwhelming!
The First-Order Boar Demons crowded together, surrounding Lin Feng and the others so tightly there wasn't even a chance to escape.
At that moment, a towering figure strode over from the distance.
It was the Second-Order Demon—a Pig Demon that had taken human form and could speak!
Seeing themselves surrounded by so many demons,
the two Squad Leaders and thirteen Demon Suppression Guards who had fled here all wore expressions of fear.
Just then, one of the Squad Leaders looked at Lin Feng and gritted his teeth. "Did you kill Squad Leader Jiang?!"
Jiang Deyun's head had been blown apart by an arrow, and the arrow had come from the quiver on Lin Feng's back.
Lin Feng nodded calmly, paying no attention to the Squad Leaders who had fled here.
His focus was instead on the Second-Order Boar Demon in the distance!
There was only one truly troublesome demon.
"What did you do? How could a Body Tempering Realm martial artist kill Squad Leader Jiang?"
"And now that Squad Leader Jiang is gone, how are we supposed to hold back this Second-Order Demon?!"
The two Squad Leaders' faces went pale as paper.
They didn't believe Lin Feng could have killed Jiang Deyun in a head-on fight.
They had no idea what sort of trick he had used.
But Jiang Deyun was dead.
The strongest people here might well be the two of them.
And they were only at the Houtian First Layer.
How could they possibly stand against a terrifying Second Order Mid-stage demon?!
"It's over. We're all going to die!"
"With Squad Leader Jiang dead, there's no one among us who can hold back these demons!"
The two Squad Leaders looked utterly despairing.
They looked toward the oppressive Pig Demon in the distance, their legs already beginning to buckle.
The Second-Order Boar Demon hadn't even attacked yet.
Even if the other First-Order Boar Demons charged them all at once, they were in no condition to resist.
They were cornered. There was no way out; they were as good as dead!
They didn't bother questioning Lin Feng further. Jiang Deyun was already dead—what was the point of asking now?
Clap, clap!
By now,
the towering Second-Order Boar Demon had drawn closer and closer, the greed in its eyes growing deeper by the moment.
It was mainly looking at Lin Feng.
The scent coming from Lin Feng made its mouth water and its hunger blaze!
"I love seeing the despair on the human race's faces just before they die."
The Pig Demon's expression was somewhat ferocious. It didn't order its subordinates to attack.
As far as it was concerned, the outcome was already set, so there was no need to end things too quickly.
Savoring the slow process of slaughter was what it lived for!
The oppressive presence of a Second Order Mid-stage demon was immense.
Every Demon Suppression Guard present looked terrified. Lin Feng was the only one who remained fairly calm.
