Chapter 546 - 533: The Demon Descends
The sound and faint scent of blood lingered in the air. From the moment Chen Feng regained his original form and sincerely inquired, to the moment he commanded the Inferior Demon to commit murder, those people were completely unprepared. All of it was too bizarre; the man merely wanted to question the situation, yet the seven words of his inquiry became the last sound of his life.
The corpse fell, and a corpulent man weighing two hundred pounds squatted on the ground, a trace of grief flickering across his face: "Teacher..."
Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding temperature abruptly rose. The young man’s hand ignited a massive fireball, stepping forward and pressing it onto the man’s body. That calm face, seemingly disregarding life, was extremely close. Unprepared, the man took the scorching blow and was instantly knocked into the wall several meters away, lowering his head, and died instantly.
"If you didn’t hear what I was saying, then I’ll say it again: I’m going to take over here. Can you help me stabilize those people outside?"
The equally earnest voice echoed in everyone’s ears, the empty room becoming quieter than before. A few people looked at the one Chen Feng had previously singled out.
After killing the first person, Chen Feng pointed out his target, only to be interrupted, leading to the fall of the second life.
Chen Feng turned around, showing no extra emotions on his face, resembling a studious scholar undisturbed by anything.
Being stared at by Chen Feng, the person hadn’t opened his mouth before frantically nodding his head, shivering as he said, "I can. I can make all my subordinates pledge loyalty to you... Please don’t kill me... I beg you not to kill me..."
"Bastard, Liu Fu, look around, this man never thought of sparing us. So many brothers outside, if we rush together, there’s no fear of not killing..."
Before the fourth person finished speaking, the Inferior Demon instantly appeared in front of him, twisting his arm, and a man with strength reaching Silver Peak met his demise just like that.
Seeing this scene, the remaining three people disregarded past comradeship, hurriedly nodding in agreement to Chen Feng’s request.
Chen Feng looked at these people, finally grinning a rare smile, saying, "Good brothers, from now on we’ll conquer the world together. If I eat the meat, you can have the soup!"
Among the four, the highest strength didn’t surpass Silver Tier. As for the three peak powerhouses who entered, they were unsurprisingly slaughtered by the Inferior Demon without leaving a single survivor.
Gold strength is vital, but it also attributes to the sudden strike.
Chen Feng snapped his fingers, and the Undead Mage appeared before everyone, raising his staff, a black-glowing rune suddenly appeared on the ground, and as the color faded, four hair-thin insects emerged from the earth.
"Open your mouth."
The cold voice of the Undead Mage echoed around them.
The four knew well these insects weren’t anything good, but now, their lives were entirely at the mercy of the other party’s single thought; especially after witnessing that bloody scene, they reluctantly opened their mouths, as the insects quickly burrowed into their mouths.
Besides summoning skeletons, the Undead Mage was skilled in terrifying black magic, and these insects were akin to poison, specifically used to control others.
Chen Feng nodded, softly saying, "As long as you fulfill your promise, these Soul-devouring Insects are harmless. But if you deceive me, these insects will feast on your flesh slowly, digest your organs, and then lay eggs throughout your body, leading to thousands of insects bursting out, and no one could save you."
While swallowing, they foresaw such an end, hence were prepared, though their faces were bleak, swearing not to betray Chen Feng.
"Alright, there’s quite a commotion in here. You go out first and stabilize your subordinates, then contact my crew at the port, let them cooperate with you to capture those troublemakers at once. Remember, preferably once and for all."
Bloodlight gleamed on Chen Feng’s face, chaotic and obscure. The few were seasoned participants of the apocalypse, instantly catching the killing intention in Chen Feng’s words, feeling today was bound to be a bloody day.
Not daring to disobey, they responded promptly and rushed outside, though their strength was merely Silver Tier, they were obviously the heads overseeing one area, and Chen Feng didn’t aim to stabilize all old members, just half; the rest would be killed.
"Inferior Demon, Mage, follow them. Anyone daring to resist, kill without mercy!"
The Inferior Demon and Undead Mage nodded in response, then followed the four outside.
The noise downstairs had ceased, evidently those loyal guards were already gone.
As for Chen Feng, he turned to stand beside Yan Xiu, looking down at the peak powerhouse sitting paralyzed on the ground. His face didn’t reflect any ferocity or murderous intent despite possibly causing hundreds of deaths with a single action and command, only remained ever tranquil.
Human lives are like grass.
In his view, their lives were utterly insignificant.
"Such a big force without a leader, after all, I’ve just arrived, sitting at the main seat wouldn’t be justified. So I want you to take this dragon head seat atop, surely you wouldn’t refuse, would you?"
Casually as ever, not long ago Chen Feng had slapped Yan Xiu several times, yet now he proposed to support the other to take Li Hongyi’s place, to control the lives of tens of thousands.
Yan Xiu dully nodded his head, being the leader wasn’t important; what mattered was survival.
He had just witnessed Chen Feng’s questioning process, responding truthfully, saying the wrong thing could result in immediate death. Yan Xiu wasn’t one to stubbornly die, tolerating humiliation after his ship’s brothers died at sea, let alone for the sake of living even after losing ten or more familiar colleagues, this shame could endure!
This worked out well, the death of an emperor was not frightening, as long as one or two ministers remained as puppets to stabilize the foundation. Although everyone was aware of the truth, it’s akin to those effeminate ’lolis’, as long as they don’t undress, people can naturally worship and love.
If you’re good, I’m good too, people are fond of the elegance and cuteness of crossdressing, as for what’s hidden in the pants, as long as it’s not revealed, it’s not an issue.
Yan Xiu acted as the cover for this massacre, Chen Feng showing everyone he hadn’t destroyed the force, Yan Xiu had been part of it all along, now that Li Hongyi and other upper echelon died without cause, anyone claiming territory is bullying, and bullying... I can beat you, even kill you.
An adult world, simple yet complex.
Chen Feng never regarded himself as a good person, thus his purpose for traveling wasn’t to spread good and beauty. From the start, he had a clear goal—collection and recruitment.
Xiamen City is unlike formerly encountered Quanzhou; it boasts a huge population and fertile land, not ruled by insects or monsters but still by humans.
It’s quite good here. According to Yan Xiu’s statement, the population exceeded 1.5 million, just numbers alone were four times that of Order.
Taking control here, Chen Feng’s belief would escalate dramatically, likely approaching the legendary edge, making this his primary target.
In an era of survival of the fittest, there’s no distinction between good and evil.
Was Li Hongyi a good person? Using living people as specimen refinement, young girls originally had long lives ahead, but because Li Hongyi liked them, they were dissected alive, becoming toys for people to play with.
Were his actions wrong?
Absolutely!
Yet he held power, being a titan in Xiamen City, who dared provoke him? Who could seek justice for those deceased girls?
Even those scantily clad refugees had to kneel and greet him. Life was tough, Li Hongyi was somewhat sick, but they needed to live, needed food and Li Hongyi could spare them from being devoured by bugs or zombies, making him the benefactor and wise ruler.
Righteousness?
Not worth a damn.
This is a carnivorous world; truth is force.
The fire of Order needs spreading, for Chen Feng needs more belief to strengthen his power.
Chen Feng isn’t a good person, perhaps the villain, just like what happened moments ago. Coming here wasn’t with goodwill or enthusiasm, but murderous intent and invasion.
But has anyone dared question it?
Indeed yes!
Therefore, they’re dead.
A storm looms, perhaps unbeknownst to Xiamen City’s tycoons, yet on this seemingly ordinary night, a Demon from Order...
Has descended!
