Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 333: Chapter 246: Walking Into the Trap (Part 2)

This list has a total of three thousand positions.

Since Huaxia has the most experts, even though the list was released by the Divine Martial Continent, the bounty is measured in Huaxia New Coin.

Those on the list range from First Grade to Emperor Realm, covering the entire world.

The ranking is based on the bounty amount; the higher the bounty, the higher the ranking.

Globally renowned geniuses and powerful warriors are almost all on the list.

As the top scholar of the college entrance examination, Lin Feng is well-known, but because he refined a First Grade Demon Spirit, he was not included on the list.

However, two years ago, after coming out of the Demon Spirit Realm, he entered the list ranked 2580th, with a bounty of 4 billion.

And not long ago, when he represented the Red Cloud Team in the National Collegiate Glory Battle, his rank rose to 2060th, with a bounty of 5.2 billion.

Instead, Yun Kai’s ranking is higher, placing him at 1089th on the list, with a bounty of 8.9 billion.

Zhan Tianyu and Ye Qiu are also on the list. Both have refined Divine Level Demon Spirits, the former ranking 1358th and the latter 1365th, with bounty amounts around 7 billion.

This time, Lin Feng killing Hai Wei not only shocked the world but also made him known to the people of the Divine Martial Continent.

Now, Lin Feng has landed on the list at 585th.

To enter the top 1000 of the bounty list, nine out of ten are Ninth Grade and King Level experts.

To break into the top 100, almost all are Emperor Realm powerhouses worldwide.

Lin Feng entering this list, and with such a high ranking, his bounty reaching 80 billion, surpasses over ninety percent of Ninth Grade experts and even some King Level warriors.

This amount of money is enough to drive people mad, losing all reason.

The bounty list attracts people from the Divine Martial Continent to hunt humans in other-dimensional space.

At the same time, it also causes humans to turn on each other.

Some human traitors, like the scum from the ’New World,’ constantly keep an eye on this list.

As long as they complete the task, if not in need of money, it can be exchanged for equivalent resources.

Even if the assassin is a human on the list, there’s no worry about not claiming the bounty.

This is why this bounty list has remained unshakeable for so long.

In the Base City, it’s fine, security is assured, but if one enters the Elemental Space Gate, Lin Feng is like a walking wallet, needing to guard against aliens, humans, and even his own teammates and close comrades.

After all, not everyone can resist temptation; such a huge sum can stir greed in many, even causing them to abandon their principles.

Many extraordinary talents have been assassinated after entering the bounty list, falling prematurely.

”Such a high ranking.”

Leng Xue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but soon understood.

After all, Lin Feng did kill Hai Wei.

This achievement warrants this ranking and the bounty, which isn’t excessive.

”Rest up now, wait for the people from the Dragon King Hall to arrive before we talk.”

After Tian Qing finished speaking, he quickly closed his eyes.

The feeling of having power but being helpless made him extremely frustrated, but at the same time, it felt like a weight was lifted from his heart.

Having someone like Hai Wei, who was as strong as him, being killed, it’s impossible for him not to feel any concern.

The rest also rested, having tracked for so long, many were quite fatigued.

”Crackle...”

Amidst the crackling of the bonfire, snores began to sound one after another, with four people standing guard, though they weren’t overly vigilant.

Here they had 43 people, all experts, when Lin Feng’s team encountered them before, they could only run; how would they walk straight into a trap now?

”Brother Feng, when will we act?”

About five hundred meters from Hai Wei and the others, among the treetops, Lin Feng and his team of seven watched the direction of the burning bonfire, waiting quietly for the time to come.

”43 people, nearly all Sixth Grade Martial Artists.”

Yang Ningbing spoke softly, with a trace of nervousness in her voice.

Previously, the seven of them had killed around 500 aliens, each stained with blood, growing more coordinated amidst the killing. Even against ten-member alien squads, they could easily slaughter them.

But this time, there were 43 people, all immensely powerful, having refined Advanced Demon Spirits, with famed alien race geniuses like Tian Qing and Huang Ying among them.

”I’ll deal with Tian Qing and Huang Ying. In a moment, Yu Qiao and I will draw near, while you all wait a hundred meters away. At the sound of an explosion, seize the opportunity to act. Stay as a team, don’t scatter.”

Lin Feng slowly laid out his plan.

”Huang Ying’s illusion is very formidable, even more so than Tian Qing’s. Can you handle both?” Zhan Tianyu asked with a slight furrow of his brow.

Huang Ying, who refined the Six-tailed Fox Demon Spirit, ranks 21st on the Earth Chart. Beyond her prowess with spiritual attacks, her innate skill, the Dream Realm, could trap others in her crafted dreams.

From his view, Huang Ying poses a greater and more troublesome threat compared to Tian Qing and Leng Xue.

”Don’t worry; illusions are ineffective against me. I’m confident.” Lin Feng didn’t explain further.

”What if someone gets caught later on? This chaotic melee is very dangerous.”

Yang Ningbing asked, unease in her voice.

To her, the ambush plan was utterly insane.

The fact that they dare to hunt alien races and block the Space Gate indicates confidence in their prowess, and courage.

This is a battle for glory. They want to take part, even if it means death, they can accept it with dignity, but it doesn’t mean they wish to throw their lives away.

”No matter what, stay together. If overwhelmed, surrounded by enemies, retreat early. Don’t worry about me; if I want to leave, no one can stop me.”

Hearing Lin Feng say this, they could only suppress their unease.

In the middle of the night, with a gentle breeze blowing, apart from the occasional demon beast howls, everything was silent.

At this time, as sleepiness peaked, seven figures moved like ghosts, silently advancing under the cover of night.

When they were within a hundred meters from the target, the team halted.

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao, saying nothing. The latter, possessed by the Demon Spirit, moved like a ghost, and as he activated his Soul Skill, both disappeared into the shadows, even their scent vanished.

Even Yun Kai’s group of five couldn’t tell where they went.

Within the night, having refined the Ghostly Serpent, Yu Qiao excelled as an assassin, slowly escorting Lin Feng past a young alien tasked with the lookout.

Despite not feeling sleepy, the alien youth seemed listless, bored while scanning around, unaware of the approaching enemy who slipped by less than two meters away.

Lin Feng and Yu Qiao refrained from attacking, even though they could easily take him down, as any noise or scent of blood would be detected.

But for Yu Qiao, Lin Feng couldn’t have infiltrated this close; even a hundred meters away, they would have been spotted.

Cautiously advancing, without making any sound.

Lin Feng and Yu Qiao now were within twenty meters of the group, in view. A third of them were asleep, others were either cultivating or bored, staring at the fire.

At this point, Lin Feng and Yu Qiao stopped, not daring to get closer.

Yu Qiao alone, he could stealthily approach within ten meters. But carrying Lin Feng, they dared not venture too near.

After Yu Qiao left, with the Soul Skill dissipating, Lin Feng’s form appeared, instantly noticed by not just one, but at least three individuals who realized an uninvited guest had arrived.

This intruder was a mere twenty meters away, approaching alone, bathed in shadow, yet their gazes met: one cold, another disbelieving.

It was Lin Feng all right!

Alone!

Was he walking into a trap?

”Don’t attack, set up defense...”

Tian Qing opened his eyes and stood up sharply, just in time to see Lin Feng standing before them, alone.

A deafening explosion echoed, causing many to squint as dazzling violet light erupted, and amidst the chaos, shrill screams pierced the night as a powerful shockwave sent many flying, electricity coursing through the air as translucent white flames wove through.
