Chapter 2039: Chapter 2038: Young Lion Commander

"Ha, ha ha!"

The Lion Clan Demon King facing Li Feng, named Wanyan Hao, burst into laughter after a two-second pause upon hearing Li Feng’s words.

"Did you all hear? He said I have a bloody disaster awaiting me today."

The surrounding Demon Kings also curled their lips into disdainful smiles, as this young man from the Fire Phoenix Clan was really arrogant enough to not fear biting his own tongue.

It should be noted that the Lion Clan Demon King before him, Wanyan Hao, is hailed as the young Lion Commander, the nephew of the Lion Commander Wanyan Xiu.

Otherwise, in such a setting, after the Lion Commander finishes speaking, who would be so ungrateful as to interrupt? Clearly, only someone closest to the Lion Commander could disregard the situation.

Wanyan Hao laughed wildly, his face suddenly turning serious like the unpredictable weather of the grasslands. He pointed a finger at Li Feng and said coldly at the corner of his mouth.

"Speaking of fortune-telling, I know a bit as well. Feng Yang, your face is full of hardship and hatred, I’m afraid you won’t escape a bloody disaster today."

Wanyan Hao finished his arrogant statement, and his pair of golden pupils fiercely locked onto Li Feng, filled with provocation.

As the saying goes, arguing with misaligned words is unnecessary.

Wanyan Hao’s face of provocation was almost in front of Li Feng, clearly asking for a beating.

Li Feng couldn’t resist making a move, and almost as soon as Wanyan Hao’s words fell, he threw a punch.

This punch was as fast as lightning, landing directly on Wanyan Hao’s arrogant face, with Li Feng not holding back in the slightest.

But the Lion Clan is reputed as the Golden Clan.

Li Feng’s punch felt like hitting a huge bronze bell, with the rebound force twisting his fist, and Wanyan Hao, punched, fell headfirst onto the carpet below.

In an instant.

The surroundings fell into silence.

Despite the tension, no one expected Li Feng to actually strike first. Don’t be fooled by Wanyan Hao’s punchable face; he wasn’t brainless, he was provoking, even waiting for Li Feng to make the first move.

"Ha, Feng Yang is really young and impulsive, unable to resist the obvious provocation from Wanyan Hao, which plays right into his hands."

"If Feng Yang hadn’t made a move, Wanyan Hao would have just had empty words. Now that he did, the evidence is handed to him; when Wanyan Hao makes his next move, it will be justified."

"This will be a good show, Wanyan Hao, known as the young Lion Commander, has the strength to back up his pride, being the strongest Lion Clan in a century."

"And Feng Yang is no weakling either, having single-handedly destroyed the Shaking Mountain Camp of Ancestor Dragon City, chopped down the gate tower of First Line Pass, and even fought fiercely with Xuanwu, the mighty general of Ancestor Dragon."

Someone chimed in nearby.

"Gu Feng, aren’t you quite familiar with Feng Yang? The Storm Flame Wolf Riders under you were thanks to him. Who do you think is stronger, him or Wanyan Hao?"

Gu Feng, sitting at the end, had planned to keep a low profile, but no one else wanted him to.

After all, Gu Feng recently gained the favor of the Wolf Commander, receiving almost all benefits as a newcomer, which annoyed the other Wolf Kings greatly.

Gu Feng took a deep breath and said, "It’s hard to say."

"Hard to say, but say it anyway."

"If Wanyan Hao and Feng Yang fight, who do you favor?"

This question was undoubtedly a trap; Gu Feng knew that answering would provide fodder for others to attack him.

"Since the seniors insist, then naturally, I’d side with Feng Yang."

"Oh, you side with Feng Yang, while I favor Wanyan Hao. How about we make a bet?"

Gu Feng looked at the opponent’s unveiled intentions, knowing he couldn’t avoid it.

"What do you propose to bet?"

"Heh, no need to be so tense. The Storm Flame Wolf Riders under you were given by the Wolf Commander, and transferring them privately would gravely offend him."

"How about betting on three thousand households from your tribe?"

Gu Feng’s pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this; the opponent was aiming for the core, not the three thousand riders under him, but directly for the tribe.

Knowing these Storm Flame Riders come from his tribe, if lost, their families won’t remain loyal to him.

"What’s wrong, can’t you come up with it? As far as I know, your tribe has ten thousand households, so losing a third shouldn’t cripple you, right?"

Facing the taunting ridicule, Gu Feng knew he couldn’t refuse. Even knowing it was a trap, he had to jump; to bow now would mean not raising his head ever again.

"Heh, three thousand households, I can come up with them. But if Rock Valley Wolf King loses?"

"I lose?"

"If I lose, I’ll give you five thousand households, how about that?"

Rock Valley bared his cold teeth, looking at Gu Feng mockingly. Unlike the newly risen Demon King Gu Feng, Rock Valley had been a Wolf King for decades, with resources that Gu Feng couldn’t compare to. Though five thousand isn’t insignificant, he could afford it.

Moreover, Wanyan Hao’s reputation as the young Lion Commander wasn’t merely superficial; in the Lion Clan, mere kinship wouldn’t earn respect.

As for closeness, the Lion Commander had heirs, and no nephew is closer than a son.

"A verbal agreement means nothing."

"Hum, all present Wolf Kings shall bear witness; anyone who breaks their word will be cursed by a thousand wolves."

Wanyan Hao shook himself off, stood up, and flexed his neck, making cracking sounds.

Aside from one side of his face distorting, bearing a fist mark, he was unaffected.

Glancing again at Li Feng, Wanyan Hao curled his lips.

"Too bad, your prediction seems off; I’m not bleeding."

Wanyan Hao said, flexing his muscles: "Now, it’s my turn to watch."

Before Wanyan Hao finished speaking, his fist, like a golden meteor, smashed towards Li Feng’s face with such speed it tore open the air, with the sound of a sonic boom lagging behind.

This punch even surpassed the speed of sound.

"Um, as I said, Wanyan Hao, the young Lion Commander, isn’t falsely titled; his invulnerable body has no flaws."

The Demon King from the Bull Clan also looked over, as the Barbaric Bull Clan is the earth’s favorite, in harmony with it.

The Bull Clan boasts strong defenses, but compared to the Lion Clan, they fall short, as even earth’s hardness doesn’t match the adamantine.

Moreover, an adamantine body not only boasts formidable defenses but also offensive might.

The Lion Clan’s steady rank in the Top Three of the Eight Tribes isn’t just talk; their Bloodline Power is truly formidable.

Bang.

The punch was too fast for the naked eye, and in an instant, Li Feng’s head exploded into a mass of fire scattering.

However, such a head-exploding strike was ineffective against Li Feng, as the Vermilion Bird Undying Body’s ultimate gift activated, and mere physical attacks couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
