Chapter 2078 - 2076: The True Form of the Peach Blossom Demon King

Chapter 2078: Chapter 2076: The True Form of the Peach Blossom Demon King

As the two collided, it was like two meteors crashing together, instantly forming a confrontational pressure between them. The vast energy burst forth from this central line and spread out in all directions.

The array barrier shrouding the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard was fractured with numerous cracks from the impact, and the chessboard beneath their feet revealed a rift.

It should be known that this Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard is connected to the Earth Veins and has an astonishing defense. The previous battles hadn’t caused much damage to the chessboard, but at this moment, the chessboard could not restore itself as before.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two continued. The collision of their forces pushed them apart, but each flew back over a dozen meters. Both human and demon exerted their strength again, leaving an afterimage as they leaped into the air to clash once more.

The Third Grade Realm Demon Kings standing at a distance wore serious expressions, feeling a sense of powerlessness. At that moment, they couldn’t clearly see the movements of the two; they could only see two afterimages wreaking havoc on the chessboard like autumn leaves blown by the wind.

"Can this mixed blood really be just a lowly commoner of Ancestor Dragon City?"

One of the Third Grade Realm Demon Kings had doubts. Although Ancestor Dragon City doesn’t determine status by bloodline like the Demon Clan, it too has a strict hierarchy, making it extremely difficult to break through the class barriers.

At the same time, this hierarchy also determines resource allocation. In Ancestor Dragon City’s Ninth Ring, it might take a lifetime of effort to attain a Golden Core; in contrast, in the families, a Golden Core is just a servant, and with a family’s resources, even a waste can be elevated to a Golden Core.

Therefore, it’s rare for strong individuals to emerge from the lower three rings of Ancestor Dragon City, especially those reaching this level of power. Even inheritors of the Eight Royal Families of Ancestor Dragon City might not reach this extent.

"The information from Ancestor Dragon City cannot be wrong. If Li Feng truly had a family bloodline, even as an illegitimate son, he would have already been summoned back to his family given such strength. But from the information gathered, Li Feng has no background and has always been suppressed."

"I don’t know if this Meng Mountain Lord can withstand him."

"Pfft, although Li Feng is formidable, he can’t possibly be Meng Mountain Lord’s match. The Meng Mountain Lord’s clan is different from the usual Demon Clan; they are between the Demon Clan and Demon Beasts, with a stronger Demon Beast bloodline, and a unique one at that."

"In the past, this clan was unstoppable, not even lacking Demon Kings attempting to suppress and subdue them. Yet, all failed and returned defeated. If it hadn’t been for their arrogance, demanding a marriage alliance with Qingqiu for the Qingqiu Holy Daughter, thus angering Qingqiu, perhaps this clan would still be reigning as Mountain Lords."

"It seems, Meng Mountain Lord is not the strongest of his clan."

"Hmm, Meng Mountain Lord is only the younger brother. The previous king of the Lynx Clan desecrated the Qingqiu Holy Daughter and was killed by Qingqiu. Only then did Meng Mountain Lord take over and submit to Qingqiu, sparing his clan from annihilation."

The several Third Grade Demon Kings communicated silently amongst themselves while their eyes remained fixed in the direction of the battle between the two, fearing that the fight might reach them, for they did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

"If this mixed blood defeats Meng Mountain Lord...."

"I mean, if."

The surrounding Demon Kings fell silent upon hearing this. Indeed, they had considered that should Meng Mountain Lord be defeated, only the Peach Blossom Demon King of Second Grade Realm would remain, appearing easy to handle like a soft persimmon.

After all, Li Feng completely countered Peach Blossom Demon King. As for them, a single Second Grade Realm Demon King could beat four or five of them; they could only delay at best and could not defeat the opponent.

By then,

the entire army would meet its end.

The thought alone made these Demon Kings feel absurd, knowing that they initially numbered nearly thirty, enough to change a battlefield by their sheer upper hand in battle power.

This time, they were meant to attack the strategic rear of Ancestor Dragon City’s western stronghold, breaking through the western defensive line and allowing the western Demon Clan army to advance unhindered.

Once a point in Ancestor Dragon City’s four-direction defensive line breaks, the other three strongholds become meaningless. To avoid having their flank taken by the Demon Clan, they must retreat.

By then, the four Demon Clan armies would emerge and crush Ancestor Dragon City. This might finally reclaim the city that once belonged to the Demon Clan and change the world’s order.

However, the current situation had this brilliant move rendered useless by a human mixed blood they casually wanted to remove.

Even if they won now, with only seven or eight Demon Kings remaining, they wouldn’t have the strength to strike at the opponent’s rear.

"Look quickly."

At this time, another change occurred on the field, but it wasn’t from Li Feng or Meng Mountain Lord; rather, it was the Peach Blossom Demon King.

Just as Li Feng was being stalled by Bai Ze and Meng Mountain Lord, the Peach Blossom Demon King’s feet transformed into roots, penetrating the chessboard’s ground. This step was unnecessary exertion, mainly because the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard was cloaked by the array, with numerous barriers layered on the chessboard.

If not for previous battles breaking some gaps, the Peach Blossom Demon King would’ve struggled to reveal her true form.

The roots continued downwards, piercing through layers of barriers—also an ability of the Peach Blossom Demon King, which is to break array barriers, though it takes time.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard here had been around for over two hundred years. With nobody actively controlling the array that relies on automatic function, it gave the Peach Blossom Demon King a chance to act.

As the roots continued to penetrate, the Peach Blossom Demon King’s roots quickly reached the Earth Veins beneath the chessboard—this energy source was what kept the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard operational; otherwise, it would’ve long been ruined, especially handling battles of this Second Grade Realm Demon King’s level.

Upon accepting the Earth Vein energy, the Peach Blossom Demon King revealed her true form, as her trunk kept expanding into an enormous peach blossom tree growing in the chessboard’s center.

The canopy above almost covered the chessboard, teeming with vitality, the peach blossoms soon bloomed and leafed out, rapidly flowering with buds.

Li Feng naturally noticed the Peach Blossom Tree Demon’s change, intentionally exposing a flaw to the opponent. Meng Mountain Lord punched again, allowing Li Feng to borrow the force and fly backward, crashing toward the Peach Blossom Demon King’s true form.

After Meng Mountain Lord delivered his punch, he knew something was wrong. Watching Li Feng, like a projectile, smash toward Peach Blossom Demon King, he couldn’t catch up, as leaping through the air was naturally slower than being knocked back.

"Hmph, mixed blood, do you really think this Demon King is easy to bully?"

The Peach Blossom Demon King felt furious seeing Li Feng charge at her again, thinking herself an easy target to squeeze.

Immediately, from beneath Peach Blossom Demon King, countless tendrils sprang forth from the rooted tree roots, resembling long spears, piercing toward the incoming Li Feng.

Li Feng sneered coldly, curling up his body like a hedgehog, then utilizing explosive flames to transform into a spinning top. His Blood God Claw turned into a high-speed rotating blade, cutting through these spear-like rigid tendrils.

In a breath’s time, Li Feng broke through the obstructions, reaching the Peach Blossom Demon King’s front. He then smirked evilly, lifting the corners of his mouth.

The Blood God Claw directly thrust toward the Peach Blossom Demon King’s chest.
