Chapter 28: The Old Devil!

“Ah! My wings!”

Lin Feng let out a howl of agony, and the madness in his eyes dimmed slightly.

Seeing this, Han Yang was secretly delighted. His strategy had worked. He immediately commanded the Golden Peng to attack again.

“Once more!”

The Golden Peng transformed into a streak of golden light and slammed viciously into Lin Feng’s black wings.

This time, even more black feathers were severed by the golden radiance. Lin Feng’s wings were left in tatters, like strips of shredded cloth.

As his black wings fell apart, the demonic aura surrounding Lin Feng gradually dispersed. The madness in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a trace of bewilderment.

He lowered his head and stared at his ruined wings and battered body. His consciousness gradually returned, and at last he realized what he had done.

“What… what have I done?”

Lin Feng stared at Han Yang in horror. His lips trembled, yet he could not utter a single word.

Han Yang did not kill him at once. Instead, he halted his attack. The Chaos Golden Peng circled above his head, radiating dazzling golden light like an exalted god gazing down upon Lin Feng, who was no more than an ant beneath him.

“Are you finally afraid?” Han Yang asked coldly.

“Where did all that arrogance go?”

Lin Feng’s face was deathly pale, and his entire body shook. He wanted to explain, but found himself utterly incapable of forming words.

He opened and closed his mouth, producing only a few unintelligible syllables.

Han Yang was just about to deliver the final blow when, suddenly, a suffocating demonic aura swept toward him like a bursting mountain flood. His heart tightened.

The power of this aura far surpassed that of any enemy he had faced before. It even gave him the oppressive sensation of standing beneath the might of heaven itself.

“Damn it! I was fighting a minor monster, and it spawned a boss? A Body Integration demon? That brat actually has a father in the Body Integration Realm?”

Han Yang cursed inwardly as a chill shot from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

A black phantom slowly solidified, resembling a ghoul crawling out of the depths of hell and radiating a terrifying demonic aura.

This man was Lin Feng’s father—the demon general, Lin Zhan.

With a single glance, Lin Zhan saw Lin Feng barely clinging to life. His eyes instantly turned blood-red, and a sky-shaking fury erupted from him.

“Who was it? Who wounded my son like this?”

His roar rang out like thunder, shaking the entire treasury until it hummed.

Han Yang let out a cold laugh.

“This is your son? You, a demon father, sent your boy into human territory to be raised?”

“Hmph! Do I need you to teach me how to act?”

Lin Zhan roared and did not waste another word on Han Yang. His immense demonic aura instantly condensed into a gigantic black demonic claw that tore through space as it lunged viciously toward Han Yang.

Han Yang dared not be careless and immediately summoned the Chaos Golden Peng.

“Shriek—!”

With a cry that shook heaven and earth, the golden roc shot toward the black demonic claw like a bolt of lightning.

Boom!

Golden light collided with the demonic claw, erupting in a series of deafening explosions.

The entire treasury shook violently. Countless treasures were blasted into the air and scattered across the floor.

Even with the protection of the Chaos Golden Peng, Han Yang was still driven back several steps, a thread of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zhan’s strength far exceeded his expectations. The pressure of the Body Integration Realm left him struggling to breathe.

“Hmph! You overestimate yourself!”

Lin Zhan snorted coldly and struck out with another palm.

This time, black demonic energy surged toward Han Yang like a tidal wave, engulfing him completely.

Han Yang knew he was no match for Lin Zhan. Meeting him head-on would lead only to death.

He made his decision without hesitation. Immediately, he activated the third level of the Vajra Immovable Art while circulating the Taotie Soul, preparing to absorb part of the demonic energy and strengthen himself before finding a chance to escape.

The black demonic energy poured madly into Han Yang’s body, like countless tiny steel needles ravaging his meridians.

The excruciating pain nearly made him lose consciousness, but he gritted his teeth and endured, desperately circulating the Taotie Soul and converting part of the demonic energy into his own strength.

“This brat’s cultivation technique is rather peculiar. He can actually absorb my demonic energy!”

Lin Zhan was mildly surprised, but he paid it no mind. In his eyes, Han Yang was merely making a futile struggle before death.

“Die!”

Lin Zhan condensed another enormous demonic claw and brought it crashing toward Han Yang.

Wrapped in suffocating demonic energy, the black claw seemed ready to crush him into dust.

At the critical moment between life and death, the Taotie Soul circulated with furious speed, transforming the demonic energy that had invaded his body into a thread of pure energy and injecting it into the Chaos Golden Peng.

The Golden Peng let out a piercing cry, its speed surging. At the instant the demonic claw closed, it streaked through space like a bolt of golden lightning, narrowly evading the fatal strike.

“Hm?”

Lin Zhan’s attack missed, and a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

He had not expected a Deity Transformation cultivator to move so quickly—to actually evade his attack.

Still, he did not take it seriously, regarding it as nothing more than Han Yang’s final struggle.

Lin Zhan snorted coldly, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

Han Yang had no time to exchange words with him. While Lin Zhan was momentarily distracted, he turned and fled without hesitation.

The Chaos Golden Peng beat its wings, golden radiance exploding outward. Like a meteor streaking across the heavens, it vanished from Lin Zhan’s sight in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it!”

Lin Zhan flashed forward, transforming into a streak of black light as he pursued relentlessly.

The speed of a Body Integration expert was naturally extraordinary. In an instant, he had already closed the distance to Han Yang.

Han Yang cursed inwardly.

“This old demon is unbelievably fast!”

He desperately urged the Chaos Golden Peng onward while frantically circulating the Taotie Soul, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him to replenish his strength. At the same time, he racked his mind for a way out.

With Lin Zhan’s strength, it was impossible for him to fight head-on. He had to find a way to shake off the pursuit.

“I’ve got it!”

Han Yang suddenly remembered the Earth-Escaping Talisman he had obtained earlier in the treasury.

Although the talisman was of a very high grade, it seemed to send its user to a random location.

But there was no time to worry about that. He had always been blessed with extraordinary luck; surely he had never faced a situation more perilous than this.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took the Earth-Escaping Talisman from his storage ring, infused it with a trace of spiritual power, and slapped it onto his body.

“Escape!”

With Han Yang’s low shout, the talisman flashed with golden light. His figure vanished instantly, plunging beneath the earth and disappearing without a trace.

Lin Zhan arrived close behind him, only to find an empty sky. There was no sign of Han Yang anywhere.

“Brat! Do you really think you can escape me?”

Furious, Lin Zhan struck the ground with one palm.

The earth shook violently. A gigantic pit appeared in the ground as shattered rocks flew in every direction and dust billowed into the air.

Yet no matter how thoroughly Lin Zhan searched, he could not find the slightest trace of Han Yang.

Though the Earth-Escaping Talisman was only a low-grade talisman, it could still allow its user to travel underground for a certain distance—more than enough for Han Yang to escape Lin Zhan’s pursuit.

Lin Zhan stood at the edge of the pit, his face livid and his fists clenched tightly.

He had never imagined that he, a mighty Body Integration expert, would be toyed with so completely by a mere Deity Transformation cultivator.

“Damn you! When I find you, I’ll tear you limb from limb!”

After roaring his threat, Lin Zhan finally abandoned the pursuit and turned back to examine Lin Feng’s injuries.

After all, Lin Feng had been the true purpose of his journey.
