Chapter 589: Chapter 371: Don’t Come Any Closer
Four Demon Kings, two of which are Qilin Apes with powerful bloodlines, while the other two are ordinary Ape Demons.
The overwhelming aura swept across, causing those with lower cultivation to turn pale in horror.
"Yuan Wu greets Patriarch Duan and everyone else!"
He appeared polite, clasped his fists, and bowed to everyone present: "You better not make any rash moves, otherwise I’ll kill you first."
"Yuan Wu, you dare to refine the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill with so many people, is your Qilin Ape Race not afraid of being annihilated by our Human Race Martial Saint?" shouted one Martial King.
Yuan Wu’s expression remained unchanged: "Your Human Race has Martial Saints, does my Demon Race not have Demon Saints?"
The Saint Son Yuan Jie is dead, and the Qilin Ape Race doesn’t care about these things at all. The longevity of the Qilin Ape Saint is near its end. If a new Demon Saint doesn’t emerge from the Qilin Ape Race, their race is no different from extinction.
The competition among the Demon Race is even more intense than the conflicts between the various forces of the Human Race.
"You still think I have no brains? Your most favored Duan Qingshan is dead, and I will become the first Martial Saint in the history of the Duan family." Duan Qingfeng looked at Duan Xingnian.
Four Ninth-Layer Demon Kings along with him are enough to refine the millions in Pan Yang City into elixir.
Even if those experts who came to congratulate the Duan family resist, they can only be slaughtered one by one.
Duan Xingnian shook his head: "You are still not as good as Qingshan. You not only lack his courage but also the brains.
Collaborating with the Demon Fiend is no different than asking a tiger for its skin,
You aspire to become a Martial Saint that’s understandable, falling from grace is reasonable, wanting to use me to refine the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill, I don’t blame you.
But you actually collaborated with the Demon Fiend to refine the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill, do you think once the pill is refined, they’ll let you take it to break through to Martial Saint? Do you think the Demon Fiend are good people?
They’ve tormented you, destroyed your family, do you think they will let you become a Saint, and then let you retaliate against them?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Qingfeng’s expression slightly changed: "We had an agreement!"
"What use is an agreement, do I need to explain what a Demon Fiend is?" Duan Xingnian showed a pained expression.
"Bang!"
A large hand covered in scale armor suddenly reached out and snatched the array banner from Duan Qingfeng’s hand: "Patriarch Duan sees things clearly, Brother Duan, your task is complete!"
Yuan Wu played with the array banner in his hand, showing a mocking expression.
The Demon Fiend aren’t idiots, they themselves aspire to become Demon Saints, how could they possibly give the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill to Duan Qingfeng? Even though the effect is not as good for them as for Duan Qingfeng, even if it fails, it’s impossible to let Duan Qingfeng become a Martial Saint.
Someone who would use his family for refining medicine, if he truly becomes a Martial Saint, would surely turn against them.
"Damn it, you want to use me, no way!"
Duan Qingfeng’s expression turned crazed, his aura became turbulent, he flipped his wrist, and a long spear appeared in his hand, attacking Yuan Wu without hesitation.
"Internal conflict!"
Wei Fan and Feng Hua exchanged glances from a distance, having already stealthily moved close to the two Demon Kings amidst the previous chaos. As Duan Qingfeng and Yuan Wu engaged, they almost simultaneously took action.
"Boom!"
Wei Fan stepped into Cyan Nether Travel, flashing like light. The Ape Demon he targeted sensed this, turned around, and Wei Fan’s palm had already descended with a thunderous force.
Blood splattered, the Ninth-Layer Demon King Ape Demon didn’t even have time to scream before its head was split into pieces by Wei Fan’s palm.
[Slain Ape Demon, gain 100,000 years of Ordinary Power, 900 years of Martial King Power]
[Ordinary Power: 320,000 years]
[Martial King Power: 12,400 years]
At the same time, Feng Hua also had a successful sneak attack, exploding the Ape Demon she targeted on the spot.
At this time, some people hadn’t even reacted yet, their attention still focused on the battle between Duan Qingfeng and Yuan Wu.
"The last one!"
Wei Fan continued without pause, after killing the first Ape Demon, his figure flashed again, appearing near the final Qilin Ape, his palm striking like crashing waves.
"Roar... a skilled person is here!"
The Qilin Ape had already reacted, its scale armor suddenly lit up, and its palms pushed towards Wei Fan.
Unlike Wei Fan who restrains his power, the terrifying aura released shook everyone nearby away, even the stronger ones spat blood. An unfortunate Martial Venerable was killed instantly by the terrifying Demon King aura.
However, this Qilin Ape Demon King had merely survived a failed attempt to reach the Demon Saint realm. His power seemed terrifying to ordinary martial artists, but to the current Wei Fan, it was nothing.
Under absolute power, his palms were instantly shattered by Wei Fan into countless pieces, blood gushed uncontrollably.
After Wei Fan charged past, this Qilin Ape’s body fell limp, similarly slain in one move.
[Slain Ape Demon, gain 100,000 years of Ordinary Power, 900 years of Martial King Power]
"Boom!"
Nearby, Duan Qingfeng and Yuan Wu suddenly stopped fighting, looking in shock at Wei Fan and Feng Hua. They had only exchanged two moves, yet three Ninth-Layer Demon King Demon Kings were already dead.
"Our Human Race still has strong ones here!"
At this moment, everyone finally reacted, looking toward Wei Fan and Feng Hua with surprise.
"Who are the two of you?" Duan Qingfeng and Yuan Wu asked, both with ugly expressions.
Yuan Wu is concerned because his people were slaughtered, while Duan Qingfeng knows refining the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill is unlikely now. He didn’t have no brains at all, the array banner snatched by Yuan Wu was fake.
But these two suddenly appearing experts, their terrifying strength makes killing Ninth-Layer Demon King experts seem like slaughtering chickens.
When did Duan Xingnian have such influence to invite people like this to celebrate his birthday?
"Your killers!" Wei Fan charged towards Yuan Wu.
"Roar!"
Yuan Wu waved the Array Banner in his hand, attempting to harness the power of the Celestial Demon Devouring Array to eliminate Wei Fan. However, upon activation, he discovered that the banner had no relation to the array, not even drawing the slightest power.
"Duan Qingfeng, did you tamper with the array?"
Even as slow as he was, he realized that the banner he had seized was fake, and Duan Qingfeng had been wary of him all along.
Wei Fan did not cease his attack due to the useless banner in Yuan Wu’s hand. He formed his hand into a blade and immediately sliced the big banner in Yuan Wu’s hand into two halves.
Yuan Wu retreated in panic, too late to retrieve the Divine Soldier, Wei Fan’s hand already thunderously striking his scale-armored chest.
"Boom!"
His chest instantly caved in, the scales shattered.
Although he was a Peak Demon King, the current prowess of Wei Fan could easily slay an average Saint Son, let alone Yuan Wu who was still far from the Saint Son level.
He coughed up blood, spewing a large amount of internal organ fragments, the terrifying power almost breaking all his bones.
"With your pathetic skills, you dare hope to use a million lives of the Human Race for alchemy?"
Wei Fan’s large hand grasped Yuan Wu’s scale-clad head, his eyes showed an icy expression.
"How could someone at the Eighth Level of Martial King be so strong?" Yuan Wu trembled, terrified beyond belief.
Only the Eighth Level of Martial King, yet he, as a Demon King Ninth Layer, was like an ant being crushed under the opponent’s hand, such momentum exceeded many Saint Son level individuals.
If he reached the Ninth-Grade Martial King, few Saint Sons could engage him.
"Splat!"
Wei Fan, without further ado, directly exploded Yuan Wu’s head, casually collecting the corpse, then his gaze landed on Duan Qingfeng.
"Don’t come over!" Duan Qingfeng felt a chill on his scalp, his legs shook.
Even holding the Big Banner controlling the Celestial Demon Devouring Array couldn’t offer him any sense of safety, the figure before him was terrifying enough to frighten anyone. Only he knew how formidable Yuan Wu was; Yuan Wu was the one who captured him back in the day.
But Yuan Wu didn’t withstand even one move against this person, easily crushed like an ant.
"Disperse the array, and I’ll leave you with a whole corpse!" Wei Fan said coldly.
The Celestial Demon Devouring Array held millions of ordinary people within it, if Duan Qingfeng acted recklessly, he couldn’t guarantee their safety.
"Wretch, will you not come to your senses?" Duan Xingnian shouted.
After some time, his injuries had partially recovered, allowing him to move on his own.
"Let me go, I promise not to harm anyone!"
Duan Qingfeng ignored Duan Xingnian, his gaze remained fixed on Wei Fan, the refining of the Celestial Demon Devouring Pill was impossible now, he only wanted to leave Pan Yang City alive.
"Fine, you may leave!" Wei Fan nodded.
In an instant, Duan Qingfeng was taken aback; he hadn’t expected such a formidable figure to agree so easily.
Next thing, his pupils contracted rapidly, witnessing Wei Fan fading quickly from view.
"Afterimage?"
Just as the thought arose in his mind, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, which was holding the Array Banner when it suddenly broke. Wei Fan’s five fingers, like an eagle’s claw, gripped his head.
"Negotiating with me? You didn’t even value having your family around to leave you a full corpse?" Wei Fan’s indifferent voice sounded.
"Spare me!" Duan Qingfeng grimaced in pain, his expression fearful.
Just a moment’s oversight and the initiative was snatched by Wei Fan.
Next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his head, his consciousness plunged into darkness completely.
[Slain Duan Qingfeng, gained 100,000 years of Ordinary Power, 900 years of Martial King’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 620,000 years]
[Martial King’s Power: 15,100 years]
Everyone watched Wei Fan in awe, four Demon Kings Ninth Layer, and one Ninth-Grade Martial King, were all dealt with so casually.
Discarding Duan Qingfeng’s corpse, Wei Fan activated the Array Banner to disperse the Grand Array, some people ran away immediately, fearing further complications.
If two powerful figures hadn’t appeared unexpectedly today, these people would have been turned into Elixir by the Demon Fiend.
"Thank you for the rescue!" someone stepped forward to express gratitude.
Duan Xingnian also brought the Duan Family forward: "Thank you both for eliminating the traitor from the Duan Family. If he had harmed the entire city’s populace, I would have deserved death a thousand times."
As he spoke, he glanced painfully at Duan Qingfeng’s headburst corpse. This was his most valued son despite his faults, unable to remain indifferent even if he had erred and died.
He didn’t fail to care for this son; it was a fault in his approach to education compounded with Duan Qingfeng being narrow-minded and cowardly that led to this.
"We came here to kill him!" Wei Fan shook his head.
Originally, he and Feng Hua intended to assassinate Duan Qingfeng secretly to preserve the Duan Family’s reputation, but given how events unfolded, there was no need to hide anymore.
"Are you two from the Demon Hunter Organization?"
Duan Xingnian paused, realizing he didn’t possess enough influence to have such figures attend his birthday.
Duan Qingfeng, the rebellious child, wasn’t wrong; his wrongdoings had indeed been discovered by the Demon Hunter Organization.
"Finish me off, such a son under my guidance deserves death." He thought Wei Fan intended to kill the Duan Family.
"Our mission was solely to kill Duan Qingfeng. How you handle everything else is none of our concern."
Taking Duan Qingfeng’s Storage Gourd, he spoke while he and Feng Hua walked out.
