The Art of Chaotic Divinity - Chapter 388: Killing with Style!

Chapter 388: Killing with Style!

“You mean that little thing?”

The despicable donkey’s eyes rolled, and it sneered. “Kid, you’re even more devious than I thought!”

Ling Feng’s face twitched as he glared at the despicable donkey, feeling a bit frustrated. “How can you call this devious?”

Yun Yiyi and Gu Tengfeng exchanged puzzled glances, completely unable to decipher the cryptic conversation between Ling Feng and the despicable donkey.

Gu Tengfeng took in a deep breath, realizing that this new member he had recruited was far more mysterious than he had imagined!

Ignoring the others, Ling Feng took out some clean bandages and carefully applied a bit of Eight Treasure Jade Essence Ointment powder to the wound on Lin Xian’er’s neck. He then bandaged it simply. The external injuries would heal soon enough, but the emotional wounds might be much harder to mend.

After finishing, Ling Feng suddenly sensed Zifeng returning swiftly. He gently propped Lin Xian’er against a tree and then stood up and looked towards the western horizon.

The next moment, a purple light landed on Ling Feng’s shoulder and transformed into a palm-sized small stone figure. It was slightly out of breath and sat on Ling Feng’s shoulder. “Master, I’m exhausted, but I made it back!”

Yun Yiyi and Gu Tengfeng were dumbfounded once more.

“Earth-Fire Flame Demon?” Gu Tengfeng’s eyes twitched as he looked at Zifeng, astonished.

Typical Earth-Fire Flame Demons had dull eyes and sluggish personalities and were often in a state of dormancy. But the one beside Ling Feng had an exceptionally lively spirit and clearly possessed high intelligence.

Gu Tengfeng swallowed hard, secretly speculating that Zifeng might be a mutated Earth-Fire Flame Demon.

And it might be evolving in a more powerful direction.

First a terrifyingly powerful black donkey, and now a mutated Earth-Fire Flame Demon…

Compared to his own demonic hound, Gu Tengfeng couldn’t help but feel a sense of inadequacy.

Comparisons were indeed odious!

Ling Feng picked up Zifeng and placed it in his palm. “Zifeng, how did it go?”

“When I handle things, there’s never a problem!”

Zifeng sprang up from Ling Feng’s palm with the agility of a carp and, with a seasoned air, reported, “That guy used a forbidden technique with terrifying side effects. After flying only a few dozen of li, his elemental qi ran out, and he suddenly fell from the sky. I had no choice but to drain most of his vitality in an instant, detach from his body, and then return.”

“He fell from the sky and only had most of his vitality drained?” Ling Feng frowned. “So, you’re not certain if he’s dead?”

“Well…” Zifeng awkwardly poked its fingers together. “Don’t worry, Master. With most of his vitality drained and and after falling from such a height, he’s definitely dead.”

“That might not be certain.” Ling Feng felt a growing sense of unease.

Although he trusted Zifeng implicitly, Ling Feng couldn’t feel at ease without seeing Lin Canglang’s body.

The last time, Lin Canglang had escaped from an impossible situation and had even cultivated such an evil demonic art.

Ling Feng didn’t want to repeat that mistake.

“No!” Ling Feng’s gaze sharpened as he said sternly, “Zifeng, take me to the place where Lin Canglang fell. I need to see his body! Black donkey, you’re coming with me!”

“Hmph, don’t worry. Until you give me those valuable items, I won’t let you out of my sight!” The despicable donkey sneered.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. Does this guy think everyone is as greedy and shameless as it is?

“Captain, could you and Senior Sister Yun take Xian’er back to Xuanwu Village? Inform Aunt Jiang and the others that the demon is gone and that they can return to rebuild their homes.”

With that, Ling Feng soared into the sky, following Zifeng’s lead at a rapid pace.

The despicable donkey lazily followed, as if worried Ling Feng might try to renege on their deal.

Watching Ling Feng and the two mysterious and formidable spirit pets leave, Yun Yiyi and Gu Tengfeng exchanged glances again. They then looked at the unconscious Lin Xian’er and sighed.

“Let’s do as Ling Feng said.”

Gu Tengfeng rubbed his nose. It seemed that this demon slaying mission had finally come to an end without any further surprises.

…

Under the guidance of Zifeng, Ling Feng quickly arrived at the location where Lin Canglang had fallen.

Descending from the sky, Ling Feng realized that below was an expanse of ice!

They were now in the far north of the Tianbai Empire, where the climate was bitterly cold. On this icy plain, even martial artists would find it impossible to survive long-term.

Among the nearby ice, Ling Feng noticed a thin layer that had evidently been broken through earlier and quickly frozen over again due to the low temperatures.

“It seems that Lin Canglang fell into an ice river. With his condition, there’s absolutely no chance he could have survived.”

Ling Feng touched his nose bridge. Even if that guy had a tough life, being frozen beneath such frigid ice after Zifeng had drained much of his vitality meant survival was out of the question.

In this situation, even a king-level expert or a half-step emperor would definitely die, not to mention Lin Canglang.

“I told you!”

Zifeng pursed his lips. “See? We’ve wasted so much time for nothing!”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said lightly, “Regardless, caution is never wrong, especially with that old fox Lin Canglang!”

“Hmph! If it weren’t for your obsession with that woman’s life and death, I could have sent him on his way with a single blow!” The despicable donkey flicked its tail while looking disdainful.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes again. “Who knows who was being pretentious and wasting time for show? That certain someone could have insta-killed him, but instead wasted so much time. Otherwise, how could it have turned out like this?”

“Hmph, that’s style!” The despicable donkey’s ears twitched, its expression proud. “Of course I have to kill people in style!”

Ling Feng gave him a look of indifference, and then turned and walked away with Zifeng.

“Hmph!” The despicable donkey spat behind Ling Feng’s back and then followed him, saying boldly, “I’m telling you, as my mount, you should at least learn what emphasis is. Otherwise, you’ll be embarrassing me!”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes again, too lazy to argue with the donkey. He unfurled his wings of true qi and soared into the sky, heading back the way they came.

“Hmph, how dare you give me that kind of attitude? Next time we face danger, hmph, I might just ignore you!”

The despicable donkey snorted coldly but still trotted after him. This guy was quite greedy and definitely wouldn’t leave Ling Feng’s Five Elements Heavenly Palace empty-handed.

Not long after Ling Feng and the despicable donkey left the ice plain, a solitary figure suddenly descended upon the ice. They were wrapped in a large black robe and wearing a demon mask that revealed only eyes that defied description.

The masked figure landed on the ice and with a casual gesture, a frozen corpse emerged from the ice and floated in mid-air.

This corpse was none other than the Demon-Masked Lord, Lin Canglang, that Ling Feng had been searching for.
