Chapter 87: Slaying the Spirit Demon

Ye Feng knew that relying on his fist techniques would not injure the Spirit Demon King, so he drew out the Qiu Sha, a matchless axe mark slashing down through the air, causing a violent tremor in space. The curved axe mark resembled a galaxy, emitting a brilliant light.

A hint of emotion appeared on the Spirit Demon King's face, clearly shaken by Ye Feng's axe. It was puzzling how such a seemingly weak body could conceal such terrifying energy.

However, the Blood Demon was known for his invincible physical form. Why would he care about Ye Feng's attack? He allowed the giant axe to fall, emitting a powerful shockwave, intending to send Ye Feng flying.

"Slash!"

With a roar, the axe descended instantly, producing a rumbling sound.

"Boom!"

The axe struck the body of one of the Spirit Demon Kings, sparks flying, and dust instantly covering the figures of man and demon, making them invisible.

"Crack!"

Only the sound of a crack could be heard from the dust, as if something had split open.

The second axe came quickly, this time with even greater force, seemingly piercing through space, penetrating the dust, and reaching the sky.

"Damn brat, you actually destroyed one of my avatars."

From the dust, a roar came, as Ye Feng's axe had crippled one of the avatars, though not killing it, severely injuring it and rendering it combat-ineffective.

"I will not only destroy one of your avatars, but I will thoroughly slay you!" Ye Feng sneered, the axe falling again.

Feeling the sharp edge of the axe, the Spirit Demon King finally realized Ye Feng's terrifying strength. Clearly, Ye Feng's power had long reached the initial stage of the Earth Martial Realm, but his realm had been suppressed at the Innate Realm.

"Weak human, endure my strike!"

The Spirit Demon King began to chant, a torrent of demonic intent converging into a vortex. The four Spirit Demon Kings began to merge, a powerful force being born. The four Spirit Demon Kings were about to combine, creating a叠加 effect.

This was the Blood Demon, not only able to project avatars but also merge them, increasing his power several times over. Unlike humans, the Spirit Demon King now intended to merge three avatars into his body, combining them to almost instantly kill those at the Earth Martial Realm.

Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, realizing he had overestimated his own strength, thinking he could slay the Spirit Demon King. He could only use that move.

The axe made a reverse turn, the gesture suddenly changing its trajectory. A thunderclap echoed in the sky, and Ye Feng's aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

The four Spirit Demon Kings merged into one, seeing Ye Feng change his technique and make a starting gesture, a look of shock appeared in their eyes, as Ye Feng's gesture made them feel uneasy.

"Everything should end now!" Ye Feng did not want to prolong the fight, fearing more Blood Demons would come, making it difficult to escape.

"Unfeeling Style!"

This was the second time Ye Feng had used the Unfeeling Style after breaking through to the Innate Realm, still only the starting gesture, unable to deduce the subsequent moves without further strength.

Each change drained Ye Feng's entire true qi. Although he had reached the Innate Realm, Ye Feng felt his true qi was still being consumed, rapidly flowing into the Qiu Sha.

"Rumble!"

The ground began to shake, Ye Feng's eyes cold, looking at the stunned Spirit Demon King, his expression unchanged as he watched the giant axe fall.

"Crack!"

The space seemed unable to withstand the pressure of the axe. The Spirit Demon King's only option was to counterattack, roaring as a torrent of demonic flames erupted, a crimson gas emanating from his body, and a blood-red hand shot out to strike the axe.

"Crack!"

With his increased strength, Ye Feng's starting gesture became more proficient. Although it was just a small gesture, it consumed 90% of Ye Feng's true qi, which was terrifying.

The blood-red hand began to crack, unable to hold Ye Feng's axe. The overwhelming force was like a planet falling, capable of destroying a city. No matter how powerful the Spirit Demon King was, he was just a larger Blood Demon, with strength dozens of times greater than a Black Demon.

Crack! Crack!

The blood-red hand's cracks multiplied, blood spurting out. The Spirit Demon King's face turned pale, too late to withdraw his hand.

"Roar!"

Ye Feng let out a roar, more true qi being drained from his body. Ye Feng had to detonate the blood crystals in the Nine Hells Demon Cauldron, transforming them into boundless essence, replenishing his dantian. The depleted true qi instantly recovered.

This was the Blood Demon battlefield, and Ye Feng had to maintain peak condition at all times. If his true qi was depleted and he encountered a powerful Blood Demon, it would be extremely difficult to recover, so he had to be flawless.

With the support of true qi, the Qiu Sha's descent accelerated, its power surging, and it fell with a thunderous impact.

"Crack!"

The blood-red hand exploded in mid-air, split by Ye Feng's axe. The axe continued to fall, quickly striking the Spirit Demon King's body.

"Don't kill me!" The Spirit Demon King cried out in a desperate plea, unable to resist Ye Feng's move.

"Unforgivable, suck it in!"

Ye Feng's goal was to obtain the blood crystals. He couldn't let this opportunity slip away. A black hole appeared on his chest, absorbing the Spirit Demon King.

The Nine Hells Demon Cauldron, though residing in Ye Feng's body, seemed vast and boundless, with layers of demonic flames rolling, as if capable of burning the entire universe.

After the Spirit Demon King was absorbed, the rolling black demonic flames surged, burning his body, and a large amount of blood qi evaporated, forming blood crystals.

This Spirit Demon King was indeed different, forging over a hundred blood crystals.

The remaining essence was absorbed by Ye Feng into his body. In the blink of an eye, a massive Spirit Demon King died at Ye Feng's hands, leaving behind a large storage ring floating in the Nine Hells Demon Cauldron.

The remaining five Black Demons, seeing the Spirit Demon King die at Ye Feng's hands, were terrified and retreated, planning to escape.

"Want to run, come back!"

Ye Feng would not let them leave. His body shot forward, and with a few punches, the last five Black Demons were absorbed, turning into a hundred blood crystals.

Taking out over a dozen storage rings, Ye Feng scanned them with his divine sense, finding boxes of blood crystals inside, about five hundred boxes, each containing a hundred blood crystals, crystal clear.

Although the blood crystals absorbed blood qi and formed, the blood qi inside was completely gone, leaving only pure energy, making them look less sinister and more ethereal.

"Big catch, with these blood crystals, I won't worry about breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm." Ye Feng laughed.

Ye Feng did not linger, returning the way he came, planning to wait and hunt more Blood Demons.

However, when Ye Feng returned to the small city, the atmosphere was off. No Blood Demons were around, and the city gates were closed, as if they were facing a great threat.

"What happened? Why are the Blood Demons gone?" Ye Feng found a hiding place, concealing himself to see what was happening.

"Merc, come out! Hand over the Blood Spirit we discovered first!" A roar echoed from the sky, and six or seven people landed nearby, not far from the small city.

The loud noise reverberated around the city. Ye Feng looked at these people, recognizing them as disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, all with powerful auras, at the peak of the Innate Realm, and some even at the half-step Earth Martial Realm, just one step away from the Earth Martial Realm.

"Ah, it's her." Ye Feng recognized a familiar figure among the six or seven people, Qi Ruomei, whom he had saved before, was among them.

However, her strength was now even more terrifying, having reached the peak of the Innate Realm, from the mid-Innate Realm just three months ago. These people were all prodigies.

Ye Feng did not recognize these people, but if they were inner disciples of the academy, he would know their identities. Each was an outstanding inner disciple, with the potential to become core disciples soon.

Ding Buhui of the Heavenly Star Hall, who had just spoken, stood next to him was Fang Hanzhuo of the Literary Star Hall, and to his right was Gui Ming of the Asura Hall, known for his countless killings and unpredictable strength.

Behind Gui Ming stood the first body cultivator, 'Jin Kui,' rumored to have an iron body, impervious to blades and bullets, even Earth Martial Realm experts could not break his defense, making him a fortress.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Jin Kui was a man about a head shorter, lean and small, an inner disciple of the Central Heaven, Xu Qingfeng. He was even more troublesome, with the nickname 'Ghost's Bane,' known for his sword technique that even ghosts feared.

On the other side were three more people, one of whom Ye Feng recognized, Qi Ruomei. Beside her was a girl named Leng Xue, though not as beautiful as Qi Ruomei, she was still very attractive. She was the most talented disciple of the Alchemy Hall, equally popular in the academy.

Behind them stood another person, Wang Anguo of the Arhat Hall, whose strength was no less than theirs. These outstanding inner disciples suddenly appearing here was a mystery to Ye Feng.

However, from the roar, Ye Feng sensed some intrigue. It seemed that Merc had taken the Blood Spirit that belonged to them, and they were now demanding it back.

Ye Feng had heard of the Blood Spirit, a rare mineral essential for crafting spirit weapons. Although he had collected most of the materials, he still needed a few, including the Blood Spirit.

However, the Blood Spirit was very peculiar, unable to be stored in a storage ring. No one knew why, as if the Blood Spirit had its own spirit and could not be contained in a lifeless space.

Ye Feng had planned to leave quietly, not wanting to get involved, but hearing about the Blood Spirit, he stopped, deciding to watch and see how things would develop.
