Chapter 1988 - 1987: Three Favors

Chapter 1988: Chapter 1987: Three Favors

He Buran looked at Gu Feng, who was already unstable, directly lying on the ground, his sharp claws piercing the earth. Obviously, the other four demons did not suffer such pain, so why was Gu Feng so hoarse with agony?

He Buran couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Li Feng, wondering if this person was deliberately causing trouble.

Beside him, the Badger Clan’s Cao She also glanced at He Buran, the two exchanging a brief gaze. He Buran’s Bei Clan relied on the Wolf Clan, the two clans being as inseparable as glue and lacquer.

If Gu Feng had an issue, he would be in big trouble too.

He Buran took a deep breath and directly approached Li Feng, saying with a firm tone, "Lord Feng Yang, why do the others advance so easily, while Gu, the captain, suffers so greatly?"

Chong Xuan turned to look at He Buran.

"Are you questioning my master?"

Chong Xuan was an old fox, able to hear the questioning tone in He Buran’s words, despite how the other was still being courteous without direct blame.

He Buran felt the pressure bearing down on him, gritting his teeth as he looked at Chong Xuan, and then at Li Feng behind him.

"I just want to say, Captain Gu Feng is the stationed Demon General here, and also the captain of the Sharp Fangs Division."

"Even if Lord Feng Yang has some dissatisfaction with Captain Gu, please show mercy. Otherwise, if anything happens to Captain Gu, the Sharp Fangs Division won’t let it go, and the Wolf Commander won’t sit idly by either."

"Are you done?"

Chong Xuan turned around, and his gaze fell on He Buran. Instantly, a heavy pressure weighed directly on He Buran, causing his body to suddenly bear the weight of a thousand pounds, making his knees buckle as he knelt with a thud.

"Even if the Wolf Commander were here, reason must be followed. My master clearly stated earlier, that if afraid of death, one could opt out, but Captain Gu insisted on accepting my master’s Phoenix Flame baptism."

"Let alone that Captain Gu hasn’t been harmed yet; even if something did go wrong, it was his own choice. Why do you feel the need to remind us unnecessarily?"

Seeing this, Cao She quickly stepped forward: "Captain He is only concerned for Lord Feng Yang. After all, Lord Feng Yang must head to the front camp soon, and a minor misunderstanding leading to unwanted consequences is something none of us want to see, isn’t it?"

"I don’t need your meddling. This is my choice."

Gu Feng raised his head, his face somewhat fierce, yet he spoke word by word to He Buran and Cao She.

With each word, it seemed to consume all of Gu Feng’s strength, and before his words fell, a scream of unbearable pain came from his mouth.

Awooo... ooo...

The scream quickly transformed into a wolf howl, followed by several bone spikes piercing through his skin and flesh, the flowing blood fueling the blazing Phoenix Yang Fire on his body.

Li Feng ignored the two, watching the suffering Gu Feng in front of him, thinking that those who endured the Phoenix Yang Fire’s purification on their own were truly tough.

As the demonic power within Gu Feng was entirely burned away and his bloodline purified and extracted, an invisible wind formed around his body.

This wind swept around Gu Feng, forming a fiery vortex, where the fire borrowed the wind’s force and the wind strengthened the fire’s power.

They complemented each other, and as they continuously fused and merged, a fiery storm centered around Gu Feng began to rage outward.

This power was extremely violent, and Chong Xuan sensed this unusual demonic power fluctuation, turning with a turtle shell forming a giant shield in front of Li Feng.

Instantly.

The fiery storm swept over.

"Not good, get down!"

A middle-aged man of the Ape Clan sensed the anomaly, pulling Yuan Kexin behind him, then bracing his legs in the Iron Bridge Horse stance, exerting his arms to generate a golden demonic power that formed a golden light armor on his body. He clasped his arms together in defense as the terrifying fiery storm hit.

The surrounding demons watching were instantly affected, the closer ones with weaker strength swallowed by the flames without even a scream.

Some with decent strength used demonic power to resist this sudden fiery storm, but the animal-skin tents around them were ignited instantly.

The fiery storm’s reach was vast, affecting almost the entire southern area, but the most grave damage occurred within a kilometer radius.

Initially, thousands of demons were gathered around, yet at this moment, one in ten survived, with the air bearing a scent of cooked meat, and even Gu Feng’s guards were not spared.

He Buran and Cao She, the two captains, were in a dire state, whereas only Li Feng’s aides hiding behind him, shielded by Chong Xuan’s turtle shell, remained unscathed.

Despite countless casualties around, Li Feng paid no mind, for they were neither his people nor humans—why lament over them when he was not a saint?

The one who instigated all this, Gu Feng, stood up from the scorched earth.

"Ha ha, ha ha."

Gu Feng laughed in wild joy a few times; he had broken through, and this time it seemed like a blessing in disguise, not only boosting his strength but also granting him control over the Flame Power.

After his crazed laughter, Gu Feng collected himself, looked at Li Feng again, and taking a few quick steps forward, cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, Lord Feng Yang, for your assistance."

"I have broken through to the King Level, all thanks to Lord Feng Yang. Although I cannot follow you, I owe you a favor. In the future, if you command, I, Gu Feng, will definitely help you unconditionally once."

Chong Xuan did not expect the other to break into the Demon King Level, for reaching King Level was enough to lead a clan, becoming a king among them.

Of course, with Gu Feng’s current strength, he was far from capable of becoming the Wolf Clan’s king. Among the six clans of the Wolf Clan, the Wolf Commander was of the Semi-Saint Level, but Gu Feng had the eligibility to vie for a Clan Leader position among the six clans.

"Humph, achieving King status, yet only offering a single favor? Captain Gu seems to be quite conceited."

Chong Xuan spoke coldly.

Gu Feng looked at Chong Xuan who mocked him, feeling displeased, but considering he had become a Demon King, a single favor indeed seemed too little.

"Three, I’ll assist with anything within my power."

Gu Feng stepped back.

Li Feng glanced at Gu Feng: "Heh, three favors then, just hoping Captain Gu won’t go back on his word."

"The Wolf Clan keeps its word; we repay favors. As long as it’s within my abilities and doesn’t conflict with the Wolf Clan’s interests, I will not refuse."

"Good, since Captain Gu has spoken, I will ask. You can certainly handle it, although it might cost some resources."

Gu Feng looked at the opportunistically persuading Li Feng, saying: "I wonder what Lord Feng Yang desires?"

"You see, I wish to recruit some subordinates, but I lack resources. I need some mounts and armaments—this shouldn’t pose too much trouble for Captain Gu, right?"

"That’s manageable, but how many do you need, Lord Feng Yang? I can supply some, but my resources are limited."

Li Feng held up a hand, showing five fingers.

"That’s too much. I can provide at most three thousand armaments. You must understand that our Demon Country lacks craftsmen, and these armaments can’t be bought with money alone—I’ll have to draw from our Wolf Clan’s reserves. Three thousand is my limit."

"Alright, three thousand it is, but I also need you to pay attention to mounts—just ones that can be ridden."
