Wind Demon Xiao Feng

Chapter 50: Wind Demon—Xiao Feng

At Shrek Academy, after Evil Tang San had kidnapped Xiao Wu, True Tang San was furious.

"Ah, Little San, we were wrong to suspect you! I'm sorry." Flender patted his shoulder, his face full of regret.

"Third Brother, don't worry too much. Xiao Wu will be fine," Ma Hongjun said softly, trying to comfort him.

Earlier, he'd been shouting about beating up Third Brother. Now, he rubbed the back of his head in shame.

"That's right. Dai Xieyue didn't hurt Zhu Zhuqing before, either. He acted just like a normal person," Dai Shengyang said kindly, taking Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed faintly.

Hearing everyone's words of comfort, Tang San let out a heavy sigh and clasped his hands. "Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine..."

He magnanimously forgave them for their earlier misunderstanding, leaving Grandmaster weeping with regret as he cursed Evil Tang San for being a liar.

Seeing Tang San reclaim his identity, Dugu Bo smiled with relief.

Oscar opened his mouth, unsure who he should ask for his Talisman back.

At Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Prince Xue Xing led Xue Beng out of the hall, his face beaming with joy.

Xue Qinghe was dead, and Xue Beng had naturally risen to take his place as the new crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. All his efforts over the years had finally paid off.

But...

"Alas, if only Qinghe hadn't been replaced by Spirit Hall. He would probably have made a better crown prince." The smile on his face faded into melancholy.

Inside the hall, attendants stood in two rows, waiting on either side.

On the table lay the draft decree appointing Xue Beng as crown prince, awaiting the emperor's seal.

Xue Ye tossed the document onto the table. His expression was calm as he asked, "Have you finished investigating the news about this Talisman?"

A guard beside him knelt. "Your Majesty, we have. A young fellow who's only a Soul Elder got his hands on the Ox Talisman and sent Poison Douluo flying."

"That much strength?" Xue Ye said, surprised.

"Even with strength beyond measure, shouldn't a boy's bones be unable to withstand that kind of power?"

"Well... perhaps the Ox Talisman can also strengthen the body?"

"You're a clever lad. You know more than Grandmaster." Xue Ye gave him a quiet glance, and the guard immediately bowed his head, not daring to say another word.

Xue Ye turned back, his gaze drifting as he murmured, "Demons..."

Douluo Continent had certainly changed. First came the demons, then the Talismans. What other strange things might appear next?

Zhong Su, the Thunder Demon, had declared that he would conquer the world, yet hadn't even made it to the gates of Spirit Hall before being driven back.

It was thanks to the King of Slaughter stopping him that Xue Ye hadn't needed to travel to Thunder City and submit to him.

Still, Zhong Su had displayed strength approaching that of a Peerless Douluo. And they said demons grew stronger at a rapid pace?

Could humans beat something like that if there were eight of them?

Xue Ye pondered, his thoughts drifting far away.

Thunder City.

Lightning raged across the mountaintop, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan served Zhong Su, the Thunder Demon.

Yu Yuanzhen hurried back, flying into the thunderclouds above to report. "Old Ancestor, I found the place you asked me to look for."

"Take me there at once." Eye-Piercing Lightning flashed in Zhong Su's eyes, and he appeared before Yu Yuanzhen.

Spirit Hall, secret chamber.

Shendu's right eye twitched. He sensed that something important was about to happen.

What's going on? Why do I have a bad feeling? He entered Divine Position Space. Nothing was broken!

He came back out and checked on Dai Xieyue. The man was spying on Zhu Zhuyun at Nether Duke Mansion. That was downright criminal!

"You're spying on your sister-in-law? That's disgusting!" Qian Renxue said disdainfully in his mind.

Dai Xieyue's expression darkened. "I'm saying goodbye to my past self!"

Qian Renxue: "Heh."

Shendu shook his head. There shouldn't be any trouble here. He doubted Dai Xieyue could cause much of a fuss.

Next, he checked Demon Hell.

The demons were still gathered together, quietly waiting. Nothing seemed to be happening.

Po Kong: "When is Shendu going to rescue us~"

Keep waiting. I'll put you in line.

Shendu shifted the scene to Hsi Wu. The demon had already built the Temple of the Sky in Star Dou Great Forest. Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were still guarding the entrance to the valley.

"Da Ming, are we just going to keep guarding his door?" Titan Giant Ape asked miserably.

Sky Azure Bull Python straightened his back and said helplessly, "Just wait. Once I beat him, we'll go home."

"Mm!" Titan Giant Ape nodded hard.

It probably wasn't you, but I never expected you to turn this place into such a mess. After marveling at the sight, Shendu stopped paying attention to them.

Zhong Su, the Thunder Demon.

In the scene, Zhong Su reached a mountain range of overlapping peaks and stopped at a cliff.

What was Zhong Su doing here? Shendu wondered.

He didn't keep an eye on everyone every moment of every day, so it was only natural that he sometimes missed what was going on.

"Old Ancestor, this is the place." Yu Yuanzhen stepped into view behind Zhong Su and spoke respectfully.

"Move. You're in my way." Zhong Su shoved Yu Yuanzhen aside and carefully felt the air before him.

Excitement stirred within him. This was a familiar aura.

"So this is the place. Hmph, that disgusting little godling dared to provoke me. He'll pay for it!"

Zhong Su's icy voice rang across the sky. He raised both hands, and lightning tore through the space before him.

"Rumble—"

After a tremendous explosion, gusts of wind seemed to pour from the rift in space, sweeping across the mountains and rivers.

Vmmm—

A green Demon Gate appeared out of thin air. An ugly claw reached out, and a demon shaped like a giant frog slowly emerged.

Xiao Feng! This is where the Demon Gate is! Shendu understood at once.

He owned Demon Space and could open the Demon Gates whenever he wished, so he hadn't gone looking for the locations of all eight gates.

He hadn't expected Zhong Su to find one.

"Xiao Feng, welcome to your freedom!" Zhong Su stood before him, loudly taking credit.

The demons' voices were all somewhat hoarse, except for Zhou Lan's, which was deeper.

"So you're the Wind Demon, Xiao Feng," Yu Yuanzhen thought in surprise.

"Zhong Su? I thought Shendu would be the one to rescue me," Xiao Feng said flatly.

He glanced at Zhong Su, then began observing his surroundings.

"That useless Shendu hasn't rescued us after all this time. He's probably been dead for ages," Zhong Su said scornfully.

"Demons are immortal, Zhong Su."

"Hmph. Are you lecturing me, Xiao Feng?" Zhong Su said coldly, his gaze turning hostile.

"Quiet down. It's too noisy here!" Xiao Feng puffed out his belly, took a deep breath, then exhaled. In an instant, the sky and earth changed, and howling winds sprang up everywhere.

When the wind died down, the once-lush mountain range had been stripped bare.

There wasn't a single Soul Beast left. The entire range had been scoured three feet deep. Within a hundred miles, not even an ant remained. The hurricane had ripped away three feet of earth.

"Now tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Xiao Feng said blandly.

"I don't need your help, Xiao Feng." Zhong Su's attitude was haughty.

"Fine. Then I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Zhong Su's expression darkened as he said, "There's a brat who knows a bit of Righteous Demon Qi. He's utterly detestable and needs to be punished!"
