Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 557: Chapter 400: Can’t Be Proud Anymore

Still proud?

A single sentence, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became deathly silent.

No one expected that in response to Yang Qing’s gratitude, Lin Feng would ask this question.

No courtesy, no hatred, just an extremely calm question.

But it was this sentence that made Yang Qing’s expression suddenly stiffen. Although he tried hard to remain calm, it was obvious that he was incredibly embarrassed at this moment.

He even felt somewhat uneasy standing there.

Yang Qing was very proud, and he had the capital to be proud.

It was precisely his inner pride that kept him disciplined and brought him to where he is now.

Being able to give thanks was already very difficult for him.

If it weren’t for the life-saving grace, he would never have bowed his head first. But he never expected Lin Feng to leave no room for compromise.

So disrespectful!

This was the first time Yang Qing felt humiliated.

Because he couldn’t refute it.

Apart from strength, everything else, talent and battle achievements, all the capital for pride, had been crushed by Lin Feng.

And in terms of strength, in a few years, Lin Feng might catch up to him.

Ever since Lin Feng saved him and became his life-saving benefactor, from that moment on, he indeed had no right to be proud in front of him.

Nor would he in the future.

This feeling of humiliation that couldn’t be refuted made him even afraid to look directly at Lin Feng’s eyes.

”This...”

The awkward atmosphere made Yang Ningbing’s expression heavy, at this moment she wanted to leave this place immediately.

She didn’t want to stay here; it was really too awkward!

Truly unbearable.

But at the same time, she could only sigh softly.

Lin Feng was clearly taking revenge; this was personal vendetta.

From the moment the contract was signed and he joined the Avengers Alliance, this face-slapping scene, she had predicted would happen, but she hadn’t expected it to come so fast.

So ruthlessly!

Not only in achievements, Lin Feng also had the strength to confront Yang Qing head-on.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already reached the peak of the Eighth Grade, just a step away from the Lingyun Realm, and perhaps it wouldn’t take long for him to break through to the Lingyun Realm.

With He Jun’s help, breaking through the King Realm might not take more than two years.

Although she didn’t know what Lin Feng’s trump card was, in her view, Lin Feng’s current strength wouldn’t be much inferior to Yang Qing’s.

Even knowing that Lin Feng was only twenty years old!

With an infinite future.

Besides, standing behind him were them.

At this moment, although the Avengers Alliance couldn’t compare to the Yang Family yet, it would surely surpass them in a few years.

His own strength, the backing forces, and battle achievements, Lin Feng had the capital for arrogance.

Not to mention he also saved Yang Qing’s life.

This was also the reason why Yang Qing couldn’t refute.

Being mocked by the son he abandoned and unable to refute, Yang Ningbing could imagine Uncle Thirteen’s utter shame and regret at this moment.

He must have regretted coming to be humiliated.

Yang Qing didn’t respond, nor did he look at Lin Feng, turning around and leaving.

Lin Feng remained indifferent, watching Yang Qing disappear, a smile still hanging on his lips.

He enjoyed seeing Yang Qing aggrieved but unable to refute.

Feels great!

Feels really great!

This feeling was even better than sealing off a door just now!

This was something he wanted to do in his last life, but couldn’t.

”This is just the beginning!”

Lin Feng said to himself, waved his hand, and left directly.

After Lin Feng left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and almost simultaneously showed a wry smile.

Lin Feng’s face-slapping was satisfying, but the atmosphere just now was so awkward that it made them get goosebumps, wishing they could disappear on the spot.

”Alright, then I’ll go help with Little Sister Dong.”

Chen Tianming said, glancing at Little Sister Dong, who nodded slightly, feeling heavy, with the joy and excitement on her face having mostly faded.

”Go ahead!”

Bu Zheng nodded, the casualties from this key battle were severe, and those who survived were lucky, but some were also unfortunate.

Because some people were severely injured, missing limbs was normal, as therapists, and especially advanced therapists, Chen Tianming and Little Sister Dong should indeed go to help.

After Chen Tianming and Little Sister Dong left, everyone looked at the cheering crowd and then at the injured soldiers and volunteers, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Fortunately, the Space Gate was closed.

If it hadn’t closed, those people would have died in vain, and the whole country would have fallen into unrest and instability.

”After a day’s battle, go back and have a good rest, don’t talk nonsense, and don’t move around, this time the impact is too great, stay at home obediently.”

Bu Zheng said, also looking at Yu Qiao: ”Don’t boast unnecessarily if there’s nothing important, and avoid conflicts with people.”

”Dean Bu, just say it, why look at me specifically, making it seem like I’m that kind of person?”

Yu Qiao pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

How come, in everyone’s eyes, he had become someone who loves to boast?

I am an assassin, a top-level assassin, keeping a low profile is my professional style.

”Not the best!”

Bu Zheng casually replied, then looked at He Jun: ”Either you go back to the hotel, or stay close to Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi. Don’t act alone.”

The importance of He Jun speaks for itself, and it can be said that she is the most crucial member of the team, aside from Lin Feng.

Among them, anyone’s mishap wouldn’t impact the alliance significantly, but if something happened to He Jun, it would hinder the alliance’s development.

The power of sacrifice is just too abnormal.

Being accustomed to rapid power growth, no one wants to cultivate step by step.

Although He Jun seems ordinary, with not much strength or known abilities, caution must be exercised.

You know, being part of Lin Feng’s team proves she has exceptional capabilities.

This closure of the Land of Chaos will have significant consequences, and Lin Feng’s team, unless a King intervenes, all have some self-preservation ability.

But He Jun appears inconspicuous, and being too weak, is actually dangerous.

”Okay!” He Jun nodded obediently.

”Let’s go!”

Yang Ningbing said, and headed in the direction where Yang Qing disappeared.

She had already seen the figures of her parents and grandfather.

Arriving at the family location, she first exchanged a few words with her anxious parents, then approached Yang Qingtian, calling out, ”Grandpa!”

”You must be tired. Great job this time!”

Yang Qingtian nodded at his granddaughter, smiling and praising her.

This time, the achievements of Lin Feng’s team astonished everyone, and being a team member, Yang Ningbing naturally contributed, bringing honor to the Yang Family.

”Not tired.”

Yang Ningbing shook her head slightly. Aside from some mental tension, she wasn’t really tired.

Hunting and growing stronger at the same time, how could she be tired!

”You seem to have gotten stronger?”

Yang Qingtian asked with some confusion.

From her aura, Yang Ningbing seemed to have grown much stronger, although her exact strength was unclear even to him.

”My strength has increased a bit, now reaching High Rank Sixth Grade!”

Yang Ningbing explained, although she was already at the Peak of Eighth Grade, this clearly couldn’t be disclosed.

No reason could explain her breaking through two major stages in a single day.

It would normally take at least five years under ordinary circumstances.

Even as a High Rank Sixth Grade, it was enough to astonish Yang Qingtian and others.

Considering Yang Ningbing had only just broken through Sixth Grade, advancing two minor stages in one day was almost unbelievable.

”It seems this time’s battle yielded quite a bounty.”

Yang Qingtian said, and Yang Ningbing just nodded without elaborating.

Yang Qingtian then looked at Yang Qing, his eyes filled with some suspicion.

Yang Qing’s current state evidently seemed a bit strange, seemingly suppressing anger, but not quite.

”What’s wrong with you?” Yang Qingtian asked.

He knew Lin Feng had saved Yang Qing, but was unaware of what had happened earlier!

”Nothing?” Yang Qing replied.

Seeing Yang Qing unwilling to discuss it, Yang Qingtian didn’t press further, wondering, ”What happened in the end? Wasn’t it said that the Abnormal People got the Key and failed? How did the Space Gate close?”

”I don’t know either!”

Yang Qing shook his head, equally puzzled about this issue.

He couldn’t comprehend how the Space Gate closed in the end!

”Ningbing, do you know?”

Yang Qingtian turned to Yang Ningbing, asking.

Yang Ningbing came out even later than Yang Qing, so she might know something.

Yang Ningbing shook her head slightly, not answering.

Yang Qingtian didn’t mind, just asking casually, and it was understandable for Yang Ningbing not to know since Yang Qing didn’t either.

Yang Qing looked at Yang Ningbing and suddenly asked, ”Where did you and Lin Feng go in the end?”

Yang Ningbing’s expression changed slightly, falling into silence.

She didn’t want to lie in front of family.

Moreover, this lie would be easy to uncover, so she could only respond with silence.

Yang Ningbing’s silence was surprising.

”Was it Lin Feng?” Yang Qing continued to ask.

Silence remained.

There’s no need to explain, Yang Qing understood the truth.

Although still confused, it was evidently related to Lin Feng.

In other words, Lin Feng was the one who closed the Space Gate of the Land of Chaos!

Yang Qingtian’s expression shifted; he hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be the greatest contributor!

”Still proud?”

For some reason, Yang Qing suddenly recalled this phrase.

Upon learning the truth, all his pride was shattered.

At this moment, pride was beyond his reach!
