"No! Sect Leader!"
Zhao Song crashed to the ground, staggering up with his broken body. He pointed at Feng Zaixing and roared with fury, "My Tang Sect has made countless contributions, yet you actually went so far as to cooperate with these Vicious Beasts to murder our Sect Leader!"
Feng Zaixing said calmly, "You never belonged to the Federation, so what's the point of discussing opposing stances? These Vicious Beasts have made plenty of contributions."
Having said that, he looked behind him. "Gu Yue, he's discriminating against you Spirit Beasts."
"I'll make him shut up."
Gu Yue's voice was cold and biting. Her deep, bottomless mental force erupted, and the order of the plane condensed into spears of the seven elements, all aimed at Zhao Song.
Sound broke the air, and the spears broke the man. Amidst shouts of "Long live the Tang Sect, long live Ancestor Tang San," Zhao Song was reduced to ashes, leaving behind four Spirit Bones.
"But if we just kill them like this, won't the experts of Shrek and the Tang Sect go crazy?"
Now that the slaughter was over, Di Tian woke up from the joy of killing the Tang Sect's Vice Sect Leader.
Putting himself in their shoes, Di Tian believed that if he were Cao Dezhi, he would definitely strike back with everything he had.
Feng Zaixing shook his head and said airily, "He accidentally entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and died under the siege of the two great Dragon souls. What does that have to do with us?"
"Even if Cao Dezhi rushes back now, we have enough time to fake the scene."
After speaking, he spread his arms. Wave-like mental fluctuations radiated from his forehead, gathering the spirit power and blood energy of Zang Xin and Zhao Song that were flooding back into heaven and earth.
Di Tian was stunned upon hearing this, then his golden eyes lit up, and he flew back into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"You humans really know how to play!"
The new Shrek Academy Seven Devils, including Long Yue, were already scared out of their wits. The pressure of the Ice and Fire Dragon souls weighed down in all directions, leaving them unable to move an inch.
"It's over. Is the first stop of our arrival on the Douluo Continent really going to be our downfall?"
Long Yue had always been proud of his Spirit's Bloodline, but now he truly experienced how painful it was to suffer Bloodline suppression. His chest felt as if dozens of huge boulders were pressing down on it, making breathing extremely difficult.
The Bloodlines of the two Dragon Kings when they were alive were no match for the Mountain Dragon King, but Long Yue was not the Mountain Dragon King himself, let alone the heaven-and-earth difference in strength between the two sides.
"With something like this happening at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, why didn't the Tang Sect have any prior warning?"
Dai Yueyan, Teng Teng, and Su Mu—these unlucky fellows were almost in tears. Vice Sect Leader Zang's head had been spun like a top by those fierce people; he probably hadn't intended to harm them, as he couldn't even save himself.
Teng Teng murmured, "I can only think of one explanation for the current situation: the intelligence was fake. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was never owned by the Tang Sect alone; the Federation had their eyes on this place long ago."
They didn't recognize the powerhouses who had just appeared at all, but they knew Feng Zaixing. After being greeted by a flurry of his fierce punches, how many people in this world could keep their lives?
"That's right. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well never belonged to the Tang Sect; it is an inheritance belonging to my Dragon Clan!"
Di Tian flew in. First, he cupped his hands from a distance toward his two seniors, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Then, he spoke coldly to the seven weak and powerless human juniors, "Given my status, it's inappropriate to bully you, but you'd better think about what you should do."
Long Yue glanced at Di Tian. The throbbing from his Bloodline almost made him kneel and kowtow to Di Tian. "Who... who... who are you?"
Di Tian said, "I am the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Clan Chief of the Black Dragon Clan who was defeated ten thousand years ago by your Star Luo Empire's Old Ancestor, Huo Yuhao."
He thought for a moment, then released a trace of Black Dragon pressure. Black Dragon flames ignited at his fingertips as his lips curled slightly. "Your Star Luo Empire has screen performances of Huo Yuhao defeating this king every other day. I'm sure you've all seen them before, so why don't you recognize me today?"
Thump, thump—
The Seven Heavenly Kings' bodies went limp, and they slumped to the ground, shaking like sieves. A few of them were so emotional that they knelt and kowtowed to Di Tian.
It was over. This time they had truly encountered a peerless enemy. Could the seven of them still live to see tomorrow's sun?
Long Yue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely. Di Tian's return meant that Zang Xin was either dead or had fled, and the possibility of the latter was infinitely close to zero.
Sect Leader, it's one thing for you to die yourself, but why did you have to drag us down with you?
Dai Yueyan's facial muscles were stiff as he gave a dry laugh. "Your cultivation is heavenly; surely you won't bother yourself with us minor Spirit Masters?"
Di Tian smiled broadly, looking very radiant. "That's not necessarily true. After all, you've seen things you shouldn't have."
Long Yue summoned his courage and asked in a small voice, "The identities of the few of us are quite special. Could you perhaps give us a path to live?"
Di Tian glanced sideways at Long Yue and curled his lip. "Identities? You're that old thing En Ci's Disciple, aren't you? His skill is stronger than Mu En's from ten thousand years ago, but if I were to duel him one-on-one, it wouldn't take too long to kill him."
If humans hadn't developed battle armor, Di Tian was confident he could still stand at the Peak of the continent. However, the power of human soul tool technology was too great; no matter how strong he was, he couldn't withstand being ganged up on.
Long Yue was sweating profusely. The other party's Bloodline pressure was too terrifying, which made him unable to help but believe the words.
At this moment, waves of overwhelming Spirit waves surged down from above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This time, Long Yue and the other six were completely pressed down, making intimate contact with the ground.
Peering upward, they vaguely saw Feng Zaixing descending from the sky, holding two spheres of light containing pure spirit power. They were all too familiar with the aura of those light spheres—they clearly belonged to Zang Xin's Sentimental Sword and Zhao Song!
"It's over. The Sect Leader and the Tang Sect are both finished." The Seven Heavenly Kings were in despair.
Qi Luo Tulip and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass happily went to meet him, smiling. "You killed Zang Xin?"
"Yes, killed him. Brought him here to be used as flower fertilizer." Feng Zaixing guided the two light clusters to merge into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The heaven and earth origin energy in the valley, which was already extremely potent, instantly increased by more than half.
The increase in heaven and earth origin energy was temporary, but the lifelong cultivation of a demi-god was undoubtedly a massive supplement that would benefit all the plants in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With Bi Ji's help, Gu Yue flew in slowly. She showed Qi Luo Tulip a relaxed expression that said "everything is under control."
She said, "Let's begin the Fusion. From now on, follow me to battle in all directions."
"Yes."
The Qi Luo Tulip, whose cultivation was barely two hundred thousand years, offered its loyalty at lightning speed. Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the Seven Heavenly Kings, it signed a spirit soul contract—and a master-servant contract at that.
"It's over. They really are in cahoots." At this moment, the Seven Heavenly Kings felt as if they were watching the goddess they could never have actively throw herself into the arms of a silver-haired person. This feeling was strongest for Ye Zhi, who had just woken up.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile line had dreamed of gaining the Qi Luo Tulip's favor, but this Vicious Beast had ignored them and released a Dragon to kill people, yet was completely submissive to Gu Yue and signed the contract instantly.
To be so arrogant before and so humble now—the change in attitude was simply too great.
An orange-gold seventh spirit ring shone magnificently. Gu Yue took a deep breath, using the Qi Luo Tulip's foundation as a catalyst to unseal her own. Her spirit power was like boiling water overflowing a pot, breaking through several bottlenecks in succession.
Rank seventy-two, rank seventy-three... rank seventy-five.
"That's more like it."
The explosion of cultivation stopped, and Gu Yue's cultivation rose to the Peak of rank seventy-five. She glanced sideways at Feng Zaixing, feeling once again that she had the capital to exchange blows with him.
Feng Zaixing chuckled and turned a deaf ear. He looked at the seven people and said indifferently, "Do you want to die or live?"
"Live! Of course we want to live!" the Seven Heavenly Kings said in unison.
"If you want to live, then surrender and go back as undercover agents."
Feng Zaixing's eyes shifted slightly. He raised his hand and shot out five extremely fast rays of Spirit light, hitting the five Heavenly Kings other than Long Yue and Dai Yueyan, turning into binding Spirit chains.
"From now on, the information on you five is that you are dead. You are not to appear before others until the Tang Sect is destroyed."
Shifting his gaze, Feng Zaixing said to Long Yue and Dai Yueyan, "As for you two, you are the survivors whom Zang Xin and Zhao Song fought to the death to escort out. Go back to Star Luo to report and seek help. It would be best if you can lure Cao Dezhi here as well."
"To protect you, Zang Xin and Zhao Song have both died under the siege of the two Dragons, and your companions have also sacrificed themselves one after another. Do you understand?"
"Understood! We understand!"
The two of them answered loudly. They knew that if they didn't do as Feng Zaixing said, this black-hearted and ruthless guy would definitely not mind turning their companions' "fake deaths" into real ones.
"That's more like it." Feng Zaixing's lips curled slightly as he closed in. His index fingers emitted a deep, eerie Qi, tapping their foreheads like lightning.
"This is a Soul Branding Method I learned from the Evil Soul Masters. I have planted a mark in your Sea of Spirit."
Feng Zaixing withdrew his fingers and stood with his hands behind his back, saying softly, "Be good undercover agents until the Tang Sect is destroyed. I will naturally remove it for you after it's done, and I wouldn't even mind nurturing you."
"But if I find out that you are feigning compliance, I guarantee that you will die sooner than I will."
Long Yue and Dai Yueyan's Adam's apples rolled. Their voices were dry as they said, "Understood, we understand. We will definitely be good undercover agents, guarantee not to show any flaws, and guarantee the destruction of the Tang Sect."
"No, you have a flaw." Feng Zaixing shook his head slightly.
"What flaw?" the two asked hurriedly.
"You're lacking some injuries."
After Feng Zaixing finished speaking, he drew in a powerful wave of air from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and blasted it into the two of them, sending them flying.
The other five Heavenly Kings were terrified, but they heard Feng Zaixing speak slowly, his calm tone carrying the killing intent of the King of Hell.
"Go and heal them. Your fate, and the fate of the Star Luo Empire, all depend on your decision now."
"If you have any schemes, I guarantee your entire families will be wiped out, leaving not a single soul alive."
The five Heavenly Kings had long known of Feng Zaixing's terrifying reputation. They hurriedly complied and rushed to help Long Yue and Dai Yueyan.
"Sorry Tang Sect, we had no choice."
Desperate thoughts arose in the hearts of the Seven Heavenly Kings. They were the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils produced by the Star Luo Empire, and now it seemed they would likely be the last.
