Both Sides' Plans
An hour later, the outline of Canglan City appeared on the horizon.
Lu Feng stopped in mid-air outside the city and looked down.
This city no longer shows any signs of having ever been a city.
The city gate was destroyed and lay askew on the moat.
Not a single house in the city was intact; ruins were everywhere.
Among these ruins, countless caves dug by demonic beasts were scattered about, some large enough to accommodate a third-tier bear demon, others small enough for a first-tier rat demon to squeeze through.
On the streets of the city, monsters wandered around in twos and threes, some searching for wreckage in the ruins, and others dozing at the entrance of caves.
A quick glance reveals at least tens of thousands of them.
Lu Feng drew his Ink-Sunken Saber and swooped down from mid-air, cleaving the densest horde of beasts in the city.
The blade swept across, wiping out all the demonic beasts within a radius of several feet with a single strike.
[Ding! Successfully defeated the second-tier monkey demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points]
[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 1 snake demon, gained Demon Points: 1000]
[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 3 Bear Demon, gaining 100,000 Demon Points]
The system notification sounds came in a continuous stream.
Lu Feng kept moving, his blade flashing, charging back and forth through the city.
He specifically targeted areas teeming with monsters, each strike taking down several monsters.
"Human! How dare you come to Canglan City alone! You're courting death!"
Several third-tier demonic beasts darted out from behind the ruins. Seeing that there was only one human, they were not afraid at all, but instead excitedly pounced on him.
They haven't seen a living person for many days.
After Canglan City fell, those who could escape fled, and those who couldn't were all eaten.
This thing that came to us on its own initiative is like a gift from heaven.
Facing these demonic beasts, Lu Feng didn't even activate his True Essence; he relied solely on his physical body, holding the Ink-Sunken Saber horizontally in his right hand.
With a sweeping motion, carrying a heavy Saber Force, the movements of these demonic beasts instantly slowed down, and even the first-tier demonic beasts knelt on the ground.
"Magnetic! Magnetic! Magnetic!"
As the blade flashed, several demonic beast heads flew into the air.
[Successfully slayed a second-tier wolf demon; gained 10,000 Demon Points;]
[Successfully slayed a Tier 3 ape demon; gained 100,000 Demon Points;]
System notifications continued to play.
Just as Lu Feng was engrossed in his killing spree, a white figure flew in at an extremely fast speed.
At first it was just a white dot, but the next moment it appeared in the sky above Canglan City.
"How dare you! You actually dare to stay in the city and kill demons!"
Hu Xiaotian saw that Lu Feng's behavior showed that he didn't take him seriously at all.
It had never been treated like this before; shouldn't humans flee for their lives at the sight of it?
Enraged, he suddenly slammed down from the air towards Lu Feng.
Even before Hu Xiaotian arrived, a powerful aura swept over him.
Lu Feng on the ground was spotted as soon as Hu Xiaotian appeared.
He remained completely calm, channeling his True Essence to its fullest extent, and then used the Phantom Steps to escape towards the area with the most demonic beasts.
"Boom!"
Hu Xiaotian slammed down with both tiger claws, instantly creating a crater several meters deep in the ground.
Within this area, the demon flesh was directly smashed into mincemeat.
Hu Xiaotian leaped forward, transforming into a white blur as it pounced backward. Its speed was so great that it left a trail of afterimages in the air before disappearing completely.
Just now, Lu Feng used Phantom Steps to dodge the attack the instant Hu Xiaotian struck.
Although it was also affected by the pressure, its powerful physique meant that the impact did not cause it any harm.
On the contrary, this attack killed dozens of monsters.
Since it was in the city, surrounded by demonic beasts, it was actually more difficult for Hu Xiaotian to use his skills.
Each attack on Lu Feng resulted in the accidental injury of a demonic beast.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to them; they were just low-level demonic beasts, completely beneath his notice.
But he discovered that Lu Feng always managed to escape the tiger's clutches at the last moment.
If things continue like this, even if I manage to kill Lu Feng, there probably won't be many demonic beasts left in the entire city.
Looking at the more than 10,000 demonic beasts in the city, Hu Xiaotian suddenly had a good idea.
"All demons, heed my command! Kill the human before you!"
"Whoever kills him, I, the Emperor, will grant him all the resources to break through to the Demon Lord realm!"
Upon hearing what Hu Xiaotian said, all the demons were overjoyed and rushed towards Lu Feng.
For demon beasts, rewards are only one aspect; the most important thing is the strict hierarchy within the Demon Race, where lower-level demon beasts will unconditionally obey the orders of higher-level demon beasts.
Tiger Roar Emperor made up his mind to let these demonic beasts wear down Lu Feng.
Once Lu Feng's True Essence essence is completely exhausted, he will then devour him alive.
With the other party's talent, after I devour him, my cultivation might advance even further, reaching the Second-Transition Demon Emperor.
Just as Hu Xiaotian had thought, Lu Feng no longer dared to rely on his physical body to kill the demonic beasts. Instead, he used his True Essence to perform the Phantom Steps, constantly weaving through the demonic beasts.
Lu Feng discovered that as long as he didn't use the Phantom Steps, Hu Xiaotian would pounce on him instantly.
He still had half of his True Essence remaining, and he had some Origin Recovery Pill in his storage bag. Moreover, the Five Elements Recovery Speed was extremely fast. At this rate, even if he spent a whole day and night, Lu Feng's True Essence would not be exhausted.
However, Lu Feng outwardly pretended that his True Essence was decreasing.
Her face was also forced to turn slightly pale.
Hu Xiaotian was waiting for his True Essence to run out, and Lu Feng was also waiting.
He was waiting for Wu Qingfeng and his group to occupy Shangyang Town. As soon as they occupied Shangyang Town, Hu Xiaotian would definitely receive the news and rush back immediately.
Lu Feng believed that Hu Xiaotian would not abandon the entire Shangyang Town for his sake alone.
Because Shangyang Town is too important, if it were Lu Feng himself, he would also choose to rush back to Shangyang Town as soon as possible and do everything possible to retake Shangyang Town.
Seeing Lu Feng's face turn slightly pale, Hu Xiaotian, who was not far away, immediately smiled, as if everything was under his control.
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaotian noticed something was wrong.
At this moment, hundreds of monster corpses lay on the ground.
Although Lu Feng's face was pale at this moment, the damage of his attacks did not weaken in the slightest.
According to his guess, Lu Feng's True Essence would be exhausted in half an hour at most.
"It should be soon! I'd like to see how much longer you can hold out!"
Hu Xiaotian wasn't in a hurry at all. It wanted Lu Feng to show fear and terror on his face, and finally beg for mercy.
Then give him a glimmer of hope, like cutting off a leg or an arm, and after he does it, tell him it was all a lie.
Let him go from hope to despair, and then I'll swallow it all myself.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian swallowed a few times.
At this moment, Lu Feng was both killing and observing Hu Xiaotian.
Seeing that his eyes were closed and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, Lu Feng took advantage of the moment to quickly take out five Origin Recovery Pill from his storage bag and swallowed them all.
Thanks to the Perfect Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art, swallowing five Origin Origin Pill caused no discomfort.
The medicinal effects dissolved in his dantian, and in just a short moment, much of his internal True Essence was restored.
