Chapter 641 - 501: Abnormal Change: New Soul Awakening

Hmm...

The Faceless Snow Demon didn’t have teeth.

But he had a pair of eyes, and they were quite large.

Gao Neng remembered this very clearly.

And the Faceless Snow Demon, likewise, had a deep memory of Gao Neng.

A human who had just broken through to the seventh rank had actually managed to severely injure a Strongest—and had even succeeded in killing one in the end.

A human like that absolutely could not be left alive!

That was the Faceless Snow Demon’s thought a few days ago. But now, his thoughts had changed again.

’A brute!’

’A fucking idiot!’

’A fool!’

’And so damn self-righteous!’

This was the Faceless Snow Demon’s current assessment of Gao Neng.

’How stupid does a person have to be to dare come to my Snow Demon City and cause trouble?’

’It’s simply unimaginable.’

The Faceless Snow Demon felt he had previously overestimated Gao Neng. After all, no matter how talented someone was, if they had a screw loose, they weren’t destined for a long life.

So, when he rushed over, his focus naturally wasn’t on Gao Neng.

Xu Zilan was his real target!

"The Dragon Maiden?!" The Faceless Snow Demon’s gaze shifted to Xu Zilan. Then, he gestured to the surrounding Strongest. "The Dragon Maiden is a public enemy of the Allied Army! If you all can help me lift the siege on Snow Demon City today, I, the Faceless Snow Demon, will be sure to reward you handsomely in the future!"

As the top Strongest on the Northern District Battlefield, the Faceless Snow Demon maintained his arrogance even while Snow Demon City was under siege.

A promise of a handsome reward was his pledge.

As for what exactly that was...

Only heaven knew.

However, under normal circumstances, a promise from a top-tier Strongest was sometimes more valuable than any material goods.

The Faceless Snow Demon believed that as long as Blood Frenzy of the Blood Race was the first to respond, no other Strongest would dare to defy him.

And the facts seemed to prove him right.

Blood Frenzy was the first to step forward and respond.

"Lord Faceless has spoken! He’s going to reward us handsomely! What are you all waiting for?!" After speaking, Blood Frenzy took three steps back.

"That’s right!" the member of the Werewolf Race spoke up.

"Well said!"

"Vely good!"

"..."

After a crowd of Strongest shouted their slogans, they all began to back away, just like Blood Frenzy. The only difference was that their steps were not all the same.

They moved with devilish footwork.

In just an instant, they had the Faceless Snow Demon surrounded on all four sides.

They had even intentionally left an opening in the middle.

It allowed the Faceless Snow Demon to see Gao Neng, Xu Zilan, and the others slowly floating toward him from the front.

The Faceless Snow Demon was utterly baffled.

As a top-tier Strongest, he considered himself to have seen his fair share of grand scenes.

But this scene today was something he had never witnessed in his entire life.

’What is going on?’

’Did I not speak clearly?’

’I clearly told you all to surround the Dragon Maiden!’

"Hey, Faceless Snow Demon. It’s been three days. I see you’re still as faceless as ever." A corner of Gao Neng’s mouth lifted. Now that the Faceless Snow Demon had shown up today, there was no way he would get away.

"Enough of your nonsense." The Faceless Snow Demon didn’t spare Gao Neng a second glance, instead looking around at the others. "Blood Frenzy, what do you think you’re doing? Don’t you know the Dragon Maiden is a traitor to the Allied Army?"

"Faceless Snow Demon, just accept your fate," Blood Frenzy said, shaking his head.

"Accept what fate? You lot... what is the meaning of this?"

"Kill him!"

"..." The Faceless Snow Demon’s body trembled.

Because, the moment Blood Frenzy’s voice fell, all of the surrounding Strongest attacked at once.

This was something he could never have imagined.

However, the Faceless Snow Demon was, after all, the Faceless Snow Demon.

He was shocked, but he would not submit.

As all the Strongest charged at him, his body dissolved into a cloud of grayish-white mist and vanished on the spot.

"One hundred percent elementalization. It seems he’s the only one in the entire North District who has achieved it," Xu Zilan commented lightly, watching the spot where the Faceless Snow Demon had disappeared.

"Mm," Gao Neng nodded.

He had already learned of the Faceless Snow Demon’s power in their last battle.

And he had also heard of 100% elementalization.

But what was really on his mind was something the Faceless Snow Demon had said earlier to the other Strongest.

’Dragon Maiden?’

’A traitor to the Allied Army?’

’Is he referring to Xu Zilan as the Dragon Maiden?’

"ROAR!"

Just then, a dragon’s roar echoed.

The cloud of grayish-white mist that had been scattered in midair instantly converged, then reformed into the shape of the Faceless Snow Demon.

Gao Neng looked again at Xu Zilan, and then at Gao Xiaomeng who was standing beside her.

He remembered that during the battle at Ice City, Gao Xiaomeng had made a similar cat-like cry. Each time, that cry had been able to make the Faceless Snow Demon pause for a moment.

At the time, he had assumed it was Gao Xiaomeng’s own ability.

But now, seeing the Faceless Snow Demon forced to reveal his form by a dragon’s roar, he seemed to understand something.

Gao Xiaomeng had learned that move!

Learned it from Xu Zilan!

Gao Neng didn’t have any questions about why Gao Xiaomeng could learn Xu Zilan’s techniques.

But the key question now was...

He had originally been wondering who was stronger: Xu Zilan, who represented the peak of physical attacks, or the Faceless Snow Demon, who represented the peak of Spiritual Power attacks. But now, the answer had emerged.

"Attack together! Don’t let Faceless get away!" Upon seeing the Faceless Snow Demon reappear, Blood Frenzy immediately charged forward again.

Blood Mist spread through the air.

Clearly, he wasn’t holding back.

And the other Strongest didn’t hesitate either.

They all attacked in unison.

There was absolutely no intention of a one-on-one fight.

After all, in a one-on-one... they couldn’t win.
