The Demon Emperor Attacks

After leaving, Lu Feng walked alone on the street.

He suddenly understood why he was conflicted and why he didn't want to leave for Shangyang Town immediately.

Now Lu Feng has found the answer.

"Lu Feng! So you were here! I've been looking for you for ages!"

A cool, clear voice came from behind.

Lu Feng turned around and saw Lu Shuang walking quickly towards him, her face showing some impatience.

She drove around the city several times before finally finding him on this secluded street.

Is there something you need?

When are we leaving?

"Many disciples have already left the city. Commander Guan and the others have also returned and will set off after a short rest. What are you waiting for?"

In her view, Lu Feng probably wanted to wait until all the troops on the third line of defense had withdrawn back into the city before leaving together.

Now that Guan Shanhai and the others are back, it's time for them to leave.

Lu Feng glanced at her, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

I don't plan to leave.

Lu Shuang's expression changed slightly.

"Not leaving? Why?"

"I killed Zhao Changgeng!"

The air fell silent for a moment, then Lu Shuang's expression changed drastically.

She grabbed Lu Feng's wrist and pulled him back into the tent.

After confirming that no one was around, he let go of her hand and lowered his voice.

"What exactly happened? Zhao Changgeng was Great Grandmaster, how did you kill him? And why did you kill him?"

Lu Feng did not hide anything.

He recounted everything from the White-Foreheaded Tiger Demon King's escape to his interception, and then to Zhao Changgeng's sneak attack from behind, which led to his counterattack and killing of the opponent.

After listening, Lu Shuang stared at him blankly for a long while.

"You actually managed to kill Great Grandmaster? When did you become so strong?"

Lu Shuang's face was filled with disbelief.

Is that the important point?

"Of course, that's the key point."

Lu Shuang glared at him, then seemed to have figured something out, and her tone softened.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. Even if Elder Song finds out, your Demon-Slaying Bureau will definitely protect you."

"Zhao Changgeng is from your Headquarters Demon-Slaying Bureau."

So what!

Lu Shuang's tone carried a rare hint of coldness.

I've never liked Zhao Changgeng.

"I always felt he had ulterior motives. The way he looked at me when he was at headquarters was off. It's better that he's dead."

Lu Feng didn't respond. He could tell that Lu Shuang's words weren't just polite formalities; she genuinely cared about him.

"So that's why you wouldn't leave."

"Now that we've talked things out, can you leave?"

Lu Feng shook his head.

"What do you want from me to leave?" Lu Shuang's tone finally carried a hint of annoyance.

You'll find out then.

I really don't understand you.

Lu Shuang tossed out a sentence, lifted the curtain, and walked out.

Lu Feng sat alone in the tent.

He originally thought that if he told Lu Shuang about killing Zhao Changgeng, Lu Shuang would either report it or pretend to appease him.

But from beginning to end, all she could think about was how to help him, which surprised him.

He was well aware of the consequences of killing Zhao Changgeng.

Zhao Changgeng is the top young talent in the Headquarters Demon-Slaying Bureau, and a disciple personally trained by Song Xuanji.

Killing him would be tantamount to making a blood feud with the Headquarters Demon-Slaying Bureau.

Even if the Northern Demon-Slaying Bureau were willing to protect him, compared to the headquarters, the Northern Demon-Slaying Bureau's influence was still insufficient.

But Lu Feng had no regrets. Zhao Changgeng had already decided to kill him, so Lu Feng would never give him a second chance.

Now that he has gained some strength, he doesn't necessarily have to stay in the Demon-Slaying Bureau.

Just then, a loud rumbling sound came, and the ground shook a few times.

Lu Feng snapped out of his thoughts and stepped out of the tent.

In mid-air, a transparent protective shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire city.

The surface of the shield gleamed with a faint bluish-white light, and countless fine patterns flowed endlessly like ripples on water.

The next moment, a muffled thud came from the top of the shield, the entire shield trembled violently, and the array patterns fluctuated wildly.

Lu Feng looked up and saw a huge figure suspended in mid-air outside the protective barrier.

A giant tiger, pure white and over ten feet long, stood with its limbs treading on the void, its body enveloped in a faint blood-red light.

Behind it, dozens of demonic beasts hovered densely, all with tiger heads and human bodies, exuding a powerful aura, each of them at least at the fifth rank.

Lu Feng's gaze was fixed on the white-browed giant tiger.

Only a sixth-tier Demon Emperor can achieve complete beast transformation.

Although fifth-tier demonic beasts can also transform into beasts, they must activate their bloodline power and can only maintain it for a very short time.

The one in front of us is a genuine sixth-tier monster.

At this moment, the city was not in chaos. Many people rushed out of their tents, looking up at the terrifying figure in the sky with resolute expressions.

Above the city gate, Guan Shanhai and the two Great Grandmaster were fully activating their True Essence True Essence, injecting it into the city's protective array.

The three of them looked unwell.

"I didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to arrive so quickly! We didn't even have time to retreat before it caught up with us."

A Great Grandmaster gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

"There's no use talking about this now. Let's try to hold out until Si Zheng and the others return. The city's protective formation can only last for about an incense stick's time at most."

Guan Shanhai's gaze was fixed on the White-Foreheaded Tiger Emperor outside the protective barrier.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Even traveling at full speed, it would take at least two hours to Shangyang Town to here.

Everyone knew it was impossible, but no one backed down. The three of them silently continued to pour their True Essence into the great formation.

In mid-air, the White-Foreheaded Tiger Emperor raised its front paw and slammed it onto the protective shield again.

The protective shield trembled violently, its array patterns flickering, and large ripples spread out from the point of impact.

Everyone in the city felt the tremor; the ground beneath their feet shook slightly.

Lu Shuang, Jiang Han, Lin Jingfeng, and others also arrived near the city gate.

When Lu Shuang looked up and saw the white-browed giant tiger, her expression changed instantly.

"A sixth-tier Demon Emperor!"

"Can the city's protective formation hold it off?" Jiang Han asked.

"It can hold them off, but not for long."

Lu Shuang looked at the city-protecting formation and seemed to understand it, her brows furrowed.

Just then, the White-Foreheaded Tiger Emperor in mid-air suddenly stopped attacking.

Turning his head, he saw the direction where Lu Feng was in the city.

"Hand over the murderer who killed my Feng'er! I, the Emperor, may spare the lives of the others."

"Otherwise, not a single person in the entire city will survive!"

The city was completely silent.

The Demon-Slaying Bureau disciples standing in the street did not move.

They simply looked up at the enormous creature in the sky, their faces showing little fear.

Lao Guai stood in the crowd, looking up at the sky.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"I wonder which official did it. Good riddance. These beasts should also taste the bitterness of losing loved ones."

Outside the protective barrier, the White-Foreheaded Tiger Emperor's gaze swept over the layers of people, finally locking onto Lu Feng.

Lu Shuang followed that gaze and her eyes widened in shock.

She finally understood why Lu Feng refused to leave.
