Chapter 1311: The Two Faced Demon
Seeing Yi Feng's suspicious expression, everyone spoke up solemnly.
"Not just dangerous, the depths of the Demon Prison are a place where survival is slim!"
"Indeed, there are several ancient demonic beings deep within, truly monstrous entities!"
"Little friend Yi, although those demons are now lying low, conserving their strength, they have absorbed much life essence in the past, and their power is no less than ours. They must not be underestimated!"
"Those ancient demons are extremely formidable, especially the Two-Faced Demon. Having endured for tens of thousands of years, absorbing and preserving immense life essence, while we can only watch our own life essence dissipate. Over time, that demon's power may now rival even Elder Guo's."
"Everything we say is true, little friend. You must not take this lightly!"
The more they spoke, the graver their expressions became.
But Yi Feng only grew more excited!
Tsk tsk.
Just missed the chance to fight Elder Guo, and now there's a demon with power comparable to his? Heaven is truly on my side. It would be a shame not to fight!
For the sake of caution, Yi Feng suppressed his anticipation.
He put on a serious expression and clasped his hands toward Elder Guo.
"Elder Guo, even you find it difficult to deal with that demon's power? Is that possible?"
Elder Guo sighed, his expression growing heavier.
"Alas."
"What my fellow Daoists say is true. Besides the Two-Faced Demon, the other demons' power may also be on par with mine. If the seals break in the future and these demons escape, it will be a calamity, unleashing a storm of bloodshed."
"My earlier suggestion to delay for a few days was not only to settle personal grudges but also out of concern for the safety of all living beings."
At this point, the atmosphere grew even more oppressive.
The old men sitting at the table all wore solemn expressions, hesitating for a long time without speaking, as if facing a dilemma. They seemed powerless against the future situation, forced to contemplate countermeasures early to avoid harming the innocent.
This was the responsibility and righteousness of being a senior.
Yi Feng was also moved by their words, and a long-dormant fighting spirit ignited within him.
These seniors feared the demons so much, and there was even a demon that Elder Guo dared not underestimate. It must be extremely ferocious.
This time, if I go looking for it, won't I die on the spot?
The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed. Yi Feng stood up, clasped his hands, and excused himself.
"Your concern for all living beings is truly admirable."
"My strength is meager, and I can't be of much help. I'll take a stroll and think about the matter of the Divine Sword."
As soon as he spoke, Tree Venerable raised his eyes and advised him.
"Little friend, your talent is extraordinary. You are the best successor for the Divine Sword. You must not wander around. What if you encounter a demon…"
The others also looked at him with concern.
Yi Feng already had a response ready. He spread his hands.
"If I encounter a demon, I'll just kill it."
"It's not like I'll randomly run into the Two-Faced Demon you mentioned, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in relief.
As they smiled and nodded, they continued to offer advice.
"Indeed, little friend is not a reckless person."
"With little friend Yi's cultivation, ordinary demons pose no threat."
"Little friend, do not venture into the dark depths, and do not cross beyond Tree Venerable's territory!"
"If you encounter a demon with some cultivation, after killing it, please bring back its corpse. Those demons have preserved their life essence for years, and their remains contain traces of the Great Dao. They can greatly aid our recovery!"
Yi Feng obediently nodded and clasped his hands, agreeing on the spot.
"Everyone, rest assured. I will definitely not cross this forest. If I find any demon corpses, I will bring them back!"
Seeing his earnest promise, everyone nodded in relief.
Watching Yi Feng leave steadily, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"The younger generation is formidable."
"Little friend's actions are steady, and his demeanor is extraordinary. He is truly the perfect candidate to inherit the Divine Sword!"
"Elder Guo's vision is truly sharp. We are ashamed!"
Warm laughter filled the air, and Elder Guo also stroked his beard with satisfaction.
This young cultivator was truly composed. In the Demon Prison, without the panic and despair of ordinary people, not even the slightest fluctuation in his state of mind. Such resilience was truly rare.
With such a steadfast Dao heart, no wonder he could astonish everyone despite coming from an ordinary star. With proper guidance, this young man's future would be limitless.
What a fine seedling.
...
While everyone was praising him, Yi Feng leisurely walked into the forest.
Only when he looked back and could no longer see the elders did Yi Feng drop his leisurely demeanor. His face was filled with excitement as he eagerly summoned Manman.
He had been aiming for the strongest demon from the start!
Now that he knew the demons' whereabouts, and that there was a Two-Faced Demon comparable to Elder Guo, how could he not venture beyond this forest?
That would be nonsense!
With one step onto Manman, Yi Feng's eyes burned with fighting spirit as he pointed ahead.
"Charge!"
"Quickly, rush through this forest and head straight for the deepest part!"
Manman, expressionless, shook his antenna and instantly transformed into a streak of light. With a "whoosh," they traversed a thousand miles of withered forest in the blink of an eye!
Not long after.
Yi Feng, with his slicked-back hair, riding Manman, finally spotted the demons.
Unfortunately, they were all flashy but useless trash.
With a few swings, he cut through them like vegetables, and his great sword barely got a few drops of blood on it!
Yi Feng, annoyed, tugged on the antenna and looked at Manman suspiciously.
"Are you just being lazy? This doesn't seem like the deepest part. Why are there only trash here, not a single decent one?"
Manman quickly blew some bubbles and carried Yi Feng forward at high speed!
Finally.
Before a vast, dark lake, a massive demon came into view!
The demon was dozens of feet tall, with a loincloth several feet long. Its body was as black as steel, shimmering with a terrifying glow under the lake's reflection!
What was even more unsettling was that the demon, though facing away from the shore, had its front facing forward, laughing like a tolling bell!
"Ke ke ke!"
"Such a tiny ant, coming all this way to replenish my life essence. Even if it's not enough to fill my teeth, I'll gladly accept it!"
As it spoke, the giant demon spewed a turbid mist!
The thick black fog spread like dark clouds, covering the sky in an instant. Wherever the fog passed, soil and stones turned to ash, quickly condensing into water, spreading like a lake onto the shore!
It had both presence and technique.
This demon seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve, putting on quite a show. It was like an old sow wearing a bra—layer after layer.
Judging by its demeanor, it was definitely strong!
Yi Feng's eyes lit up with a bit of anticipation. Following the principle of giving it one move, he stood still, first putting away Manman, waiting for the black fog to envelop him, ready to embrace death.
However.
He waited for a long time, and the black fog surged past him countless times, yet nothing happened. If there was any difference, it was that it really stank.
Seeing Yi Feng standing there unharmed, the demon suddenly widened its eyes, as if seeing something unbelievable. It took two steps back, its massive body causing waves to churn in the lake!
"This!"
"How is this possible!"
"You're just a human. How are you unharmed by my demonic energy!"
Hearing the demon's shocked words, Yi Feng found it all too familiar and immediately frowned in anger.
Damn it.
Another useless one!
Why are they all so good at putting on a show but have no real skills? There's no such thing as a "show-off Dao," right? And what's with this demonic energy? It's just bad breath and nothing else!
Seeing the demon retreat in panic, Yi Feng grew angrier.
He drew his great sword and flew forward, decapitating the demon with one strike!
"Boom!"
The massive body fell into the lake, causing waves to surge!
The terrifying shockwave spread for miles. If anyone had been present, it would have been a sight to remember for a lifetime!
But Yi Feng just looked helpless, holding his great sword with a look of utter disappointment.
After searching for a long time and finding no more demons, and this giant demon being too disgusting, he had no choice but to fulfill his promise to bring back the corpses. He took out a rope, tied up the body, and dragged it away.
On his way back, he collected more and more corpses.
Sitting alone by the forest, the pile of demon corpses beside him was like a mountain, almost blocking out the withered forest. It was a terrifying sight!
But Yi Feng felt no joy in his harvest, only the loneliness of snow.
However, the commotion was too great, and many of the old men were alerted.
Seeing the terrifying mountain of demon corpses, they were filled with shock. When they saw the massive head of the Two-Faced Demon, they gasped in disbelief. Even Elder Guo stood frozen, his old face full of astonishment!
