Chapter 2072: Chapter 2069: Interrogation
Ling Feng had not forgotten that they might soon recover their strength, so he had to ensure his safety, and thus he decided to subdue them first.
He similarly dealt with the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan, and only then did Ling Feng feel at ease.
"Alright, you can start telling the truth now, can’t you?" Ling Feng said mildly as he looked at the two men, "Why did your attitude towards me change? What’s the secret here?"
Actually, Ling Feng already had some vague suspicions, but he wanted confirmation from the mouths of these two men.
"You speak first!" Ling Feng pointed his spear tip at the man from the Guishee Demon Clan.
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan hesitated a bit, but the next moment Ling Feng’s Dark Night Demon Spear again stabbed into his thigh.
With a scream, cold sweat broke out on the man’s forehead: "I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
Ling Feng sneered, "You’d better tell the truth, or if I think you’re lying, my next shot might pierce your heart!"
A shadow flashed in the man’s eyes but quickly vanished: "The reason why we changed our attitude earlier is because you are a Long-haired Demon with clear consciousness and intelligence!"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Ling Feng felt even more uneasy.
"Because the Demon King once issued a Demon King’s Order to all races of the Phantom Demon Continent, saying that if anyone captured an intelligent demon creature below Level 4 and delivered it to the Demon Capital, the Demon King would offer generous rewards!" the man from the Guishee Demon Clan explained.
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows: "Generous rewards, how generous?"
"Enough to promote a medium-level family to a high-level family, how’s that for generous?" the man from the Guishee Demon Clan said calmly: "But everyone knows that demon creatures below Level 4 don’t have any intelligence; they act only by instinct and for killing. Finding an intelligent demon creature is nearly impossible!"
"After hundreds of years of searching, no one found any, so people gradually forgot about the Demon King’s Order. But unexpectedly..."
"You encountered one today, right!" Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Why did the Demon King issue the Demon King’s Order?"
"How would I know?" the man from the Guishee Demon Clan rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t ask me; no one else knows either! We only know that the Demon King seems to be very interested in this matter!"
Ling Feng nodded slightly, then turned to the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan: "Do you have anything to add? If not, then you have no use staying alive!"
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan winked at the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan, who instantly understood, he said solemnly, "Regarding this matter, I actually know a bit more than he does!"
"Speak!" Ling Feng asked, squinting his eyes.
"There was once a rumor that the Demon King had a dream, dreaming about being defeated by a low-level demon creature, hence the order to find such a creature. But we know another rumor..."
"Another rumor?!" Ling Feng’s eyes lit up.
"That you are doomed..."
As the words fell, the man from the Guishee Demon Clan and the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan lunged at Ling Feng simultaneously.
Though Ling Feng had previously severed their tendons in hands and feet, he still underestimated their recovery ability—within just a moment of talking, they had regained considerable strength.
"Damn it!" Ling Feng’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly raised the Dark Night Demon Spear.
But at this moment, the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan let out a low roar, and Ling Feng felt the Dark Night Demon Spear in his hand struggle, breaking free from his control and returning to the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan.
"It truly is the Treasure of the Dark Night Demon Clan; I really can’t completely control it in such a short time!" Ling Feng felt some anxiety, because having mistakenly estimated their strength, he was now caught between a rock and a hard place.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng’s eyes showed a resolute and wild look.
It’s just facing two seriously injured warriors—how strong they are, so what? Am I, Ling Feng, to just wait for slaughter?
"Impossible, how can I, Ling Feng, be captured without a fight?" Ling Feng roared in his heart, then rushed towards the man from the Guishee Demon Clan.
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan was more severely injured, and he was weaponless, making him relatively easier to handle.
"Looks like you think I’m an easy target!" the man from the Guishee Demon Clan growled, "I’ll show you that even an injured Level 5 Demon is something a mere Second-Level Long-haired Demon cannot contend with!"
What? The man from the Guishee Demon Clan is a Level 5 Demon, not Level 4? Ling Feng’s heart sank, but he didn’t retreat; instead, he quickened his actions.
With a roar, Ling Feng collided fiercely with the man from the Guishee Demon Clan, his hand penetrating the latter’s wound, while the Power of Fire within Ling Feng surged towards him.
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan growled in pain, his heavy fist pounding wildly on Ling Feng’s chest and abdomen.
Despite Ling Feng’s entire chest now caving in, ribs protruding into his internal organs, Ling Feng was undisturbed, still fiercely entangled with the man from the Guishee Demon Clan.
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan was, after all, severely wounded, and his recent attack had drained almost all his strength. He thought he could easily kill Ling Feng, but he didn’t expect Ling Feng to be so resilient; even severely wounded, he still showed a spirit of fearless determination.
"Quick, help me kill him!" The man from the Guishee Demon Clan grew anxious seeing the madness in Ling Feng’s eyes, urging the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan.
The man from the Dark Night Demon Clan had abandoned the attack when Ling Feng turned to the man from the Guishee Demon Clan, believing that since they were both enemies, why not let them fight each other?
Upon hearing the plea from the man from the Guishee Demon Clan, he couldn’t help but laugh: "Did you really think we were friends? Don’t forget you were plotting against me before; do you think I would save you?"
The man from the Guishee Demon Clan was furious: "You would leave me to die—don’t you also risk being killed by this Second-Level Demon creature?"
"No, even if he manages to kill you, he’ll be at his limit!" the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan laughed, "I’ve also regained some strength now; crushing him, is like crushing an ant!"
"Of course, if you feel being killed by a Second-Level Demon creature is humiliating, you can beg me, beg me to kill you, won’t that solve it?" the man from the Dark Night Demon Clan said with a smile.
