Chapter 123: Chapter 123: So You’re a Shape-shifting Beast, I Attack
Translator: 549690339
“Sect Master!”
The disciples were shocked to see Ye Feng almost fall to the ground.
The Deputy City Lord, Lu Shanyue, Xin Guangxuan, and others all looked worried.
“Flesh and blood beings, bearing the might of this hammer from the Demon Lord, must be shattered to pieces, right?” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch said while holding a hammer that was dozens of meters long, letting out a “gaga” cackle.
“The Demon Lord is invincible!”
From the distance, Li Hanshao and Wu De lay on the branches, shaking the tree limbs, and shouted to cheer on.
However, Ye Feng landed on the ground, patted his chest, and found that he was unharmed.
That hammer seemed potent, but that was about it.
“Is it because my body is strong so I withstood it?” Ye Feng blinked.
“You’re actually unharmed?”
Seeing that Ye Feng was without a single injury, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch’s eyes bulged with shock, his face filled with disbelief.
“You’re not that impressive either!” Ye Feng laughed, beckoning towards the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch with a hook of his finger, his intention clear without words.
“I’ll smash you to death!” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch bellowed, both hands gripping the hammer handle, and exerted all his strength to smash down on Ye Feng.
“Nine Heavens Thunder Kick!”
Ye Feng stood on the ground, bent over with knees bent, and pushed off with all his might, his entire body shooting up like an unsheathed sword into the sky, punching at the giant hammer and roaring, “Earth-Piercing Fist!”
Boom!
The seemingly indestructible hammer was dented in by Ye Feng’s punch and then shattered into a cloud of white mist, dissipating into thin air.
“What kind of spell is this?” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch sucked in a breath of cold air, not out of horror, but because it hurt!
His true form was that of a Shape-shifting Beast.
After breaking through to become a Lower Rank Demon General with the aid of ten Blood Spirit Pills, the Shape-shifting Beast’s talent had improved further, able to morph into any shaped object, and it was no longer limited to white but could change into any color.
In this form, the Shape-shifting Beast could impersonate anyone or utilize its talent to transform into things like a forty-meter blade, a hammer, and could even become a lump of excrement—it wasn’t an exaggeration to call it infinitely variable.
But the problem was, anything shaped from it was connected to the beast’s body, and breaking it hurt!
“When throwing the punch, why did I feel like Sect Master Ye’s power doubled, reaching the second layer of the Element Gathering Realm?” Lu Shanyue stopped twiddling his beard, furrowed his thick brows, his eyes brimming with confusion.
Ye Feng hovered in the air, silent.
Just now, he had combined his physical strength with the Heroic Spirit Power, which he currently considered his strongest move, yet the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was still standing.
“Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, I want to see how long you can hold out.” Ye Feng launched another attack.
“You’re already defeated!” The Demon Lord flickered, turning into a black mist, vanishing into the night.
The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was clever.
The reason he chose to battle Ye Feng at night was because he had one final trick, which was to transform into mist and start changing color, thereby obtaining a temporary invisibility through the environment.
“Where did he go?” Ye Feng frowned.
Everyone else also lost their perception of the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, even if people like the Deputy City Lord and Lu Shanyue extended their Spiritual Sense, they could not detect him.
At that moment, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was as if he had completely disappeared.
Ye Feng stood in mid-air, looking around, but was unable to spot where the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch had gone.
“Too bad I can’t cast spells, otherwise using ‘All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception’ should still be somewhat helpful in this situation.” Ye Feng inwardly lamented, sighing over his lack of Spiritual Energy.
Thud!
A dull blow struck Ye Feng on the head, throwing him more than a dozen meters away, suspended in the air. Hurriedly turning his head to look, he still couldn’t find the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch.
“The Thousand Faces Demon Monarch actually used a stealth spell, appearing at the crucial moment to strike Sect Master Ye with a blow,” Lu Shanyue deduced.
Regrettably, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch was too cunning; once he appeared and struck, he would flee without lingering.
Ye Feng rubbed the back of his head, feeling the pain from the strike.
If it wasn’t for the fact that his body was exceptionally strong, comparable to a Spiritual Artifact, any other Element Gathering Realm Qi Refinement cultivator would likely have suffered a bloody injury by now.
Thud!
It was another dull blow.
Ye Feng staggered from the impact, took a deep breath, his eyes full of rage, wishing that he could pin the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch to the ground and give him a good beating.
“Ye Feng, by the time I unleash this move, you have already lost, gahaha!” the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch laughed maniacally.
Even though his mouth was merry, the Demon Monarch’s heart was also filled with vexation. He had struck twice with his staff, but Ye Feng seemed unscathed, while he himself was shaken to the point of feeling some pain.
“Could it be that this battle will last until dawn?”
The onlookers glanced at the sky, unable to help but murmur.
The disciples of the Misty Sect lined up, their faces filled with worry, especially Long Tianxing, who clung to Shi Lei in fright.
In the darkness.
Ye Feng scratched his head and speculated whether the Demon Monarch could actually be a monster.
If he were human, how could he have such eerie methods?
With that thought, Ye Feng subconsciously activated the “Scouting” function of the Spirit Beast Pavilion’s second stage. Wherever his gaze landed, the glowing figures were demonic beasts.
Just as expected!
Ye Feng saw a large cluster of glowing black mist not far from him that appeared very sinister, and within his sight, several lines of text appeared.
[Shape-shifting Beast: Lower Rank Demon General]
[Talent: Thousand Transformations]
[Note: Fully transformed, possesses the strength of the Element Gathering Realm’s first layer, self-proclaimed “Thousand Faces Demon Monarch,” with immense potential.]
“This guy really isn’t human!”
Ye Feng was overjoyed. He kept the “Scouting” ability active and deliberately turned around, positioning his side to the rear towards the Demon Monarch, waiting for his strike.
The next moment, a black staff surged in a surprise attack, but Ye Feng was prepared; he caught the staff with one hand and quickly unleashed nine punches with the other.
“Wow!”
The Demon Monarch, with his dinner almost vomiting out, stumbled backward. He quickly transformed into a mist to continue hiding.
“The tables have turned!”
The spectating crowd boiled with excitement.
Ye Feng had just inflicted a wound on the Demon Monarch in an instant!
“Was it a coincidence?” murmured the Sect Leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect.
The other Element Gathering Realm experts also showed signs of surprise.
Facing the powerful hiding technique of the Demon Monarch, even those with one or two levels higher cultivation could only be forced to defend.
Yet, Ye Feng was able to counterattack!
The five Element Gathering Realm experts present had to admit that in this respect, they were no match for Ye Feng.
“Lad, that was surely just luck, but you can’t always be this lucky,” the Demon Monarch said unwillingly.
“I am the Chosen One, my luck has always been good.” With that, Ye Feng took the initiative to attack and blasted a mass of black mist away.
Feeling pain, the Demon Monarch exclaimed in shock, “Impossible, you can’t find me, this…”
Before he could finish, Ye Feng had already pursued, grabbing the black mist and beating it fiercely, causing the Demon Monarch to howl miserably and start running away.
“Do you submit?” Ye Feng asked while continuing to beat him.
“This Demon Monarch doesn’t submit!” The Demon Monarch felt that he could still hold on a bit longer and began flying in circles in the sky, trying to shake off Ye Feng.
“Then I’ll keep beating you!” Ye Feng continued the chase and the assault.
Meanwhile, at the peak of Misty Peak.
Brother Flathead, who was lying on the ground, surged with energy, and a wild wind swept across the peak. Fortunately, the defense function of the Five Elements Continuous Array activated automatically, calming the turbulence.
The next moment, Ye Feng discovered that his physical strength had doubled!
“Did Brother Flathead succeed in his breakthrough?” Ye Feng guessed, but regardless of the reason, he threw a punch at the Demon Monarch.
Thump!
This blow, with doubled power, finally overwhelmed the Demon Monarch. He could no longer maintain his mist form, consolidated into a human figure, and crashed to the ground with a “bang,” foaming at the mouth.
“Won… we won?”
Everyone watching this sudden turn of events was flabbergasted.
