Abyss Summoner

Chapter 569 - 556: The Only Chance

The flames soared, waves of heat rolling, surpassing the limits of the human body. Even if steel neared Shi Xiong, it would instantly melt into a pool of iron.

"Chen Feng? How terrifying is the power of this outsider? How is it possible!"

Lin Tianxiu’s shock was like a giant wave crashing over him.

As a Golden master, Shi Xiong had long integrated fire into his bloodline. It could be said that he was immune to most damage because his physical body and blood were imbued with a fierce killing intent and astonishing defensive power.

Although his defense was far from matching that of the Inferior Demon after its transformation, even if a Demon and Martial Cannon struck his body, it wouldn’t immediately breach his defenses—it would at most cause injuries.

Moreover, Shi Xiong had already fused flames into his body. When attacked, the flames would instantly surface to protect him. In the past, everyone found it troubling to face Shi Xiong because one would get scorched even before injuring him.

But earlier, an arrow had hit Shi Xiong’s body precisely. One must note that his body could even withstand a Demon and Martial Cannon, yet it was pierced by what seemed like an ordinary dry twig. But that wasn’t the most shocking part. Just seconds later, a girl with a cat tail punched through Shi Xiong’s chest with a single blow, even crushing his heart completely!

An arrow relies on speed and may be understandable, but the girl’s one punch was beyond imagination.

"Where on earth did these people come from?" Feeling the pressure in his heart, Lin Tianxiu didn’t have time to think much. Suddenly, he bent down sharply, his body moving like a prawn, bouncing backward violently. His body slowly turned into mist, starting from the lower body, then his arms, finally including his head, disappearing into the fog.

This series of movements was completed in the blink of an eye, showcasing Lin Tianxiu’s formidable strength!

And on the side, Chen Ligang, witnessing all this, knew he was at a disadvantage. He roared, his whole body suddenly sprouting spines like a porcupine. His skin turned pitch black, and like a flash of electricity, he dashed towards the camp!

Chen Feng’s hidden power utterly shattered the duo’s confidence. In such a situation, they pretended to be at ease but didn’t hesitate at all underfoot, trying to escape from here as quickly as possible!

Chen Ligang knew of Chen Feng’s ferocity. Thus, he didn’t attack chaotically like Shi Xiong did, because the previous scene had deeply affected him. To escape, he had to focus all his thoughts entirely on it.

Soul Awakening Funeral.

Chen Ligang.

This commander of the Xiamen brought notoriety.

In a flash, Chen Ligang suddenly opened his mouth. Instantly, the nearby air became pressured, following which a massive sound wave emitted from his mouth.

—Soul Awakening!

Chen Ligang’s ability was soundwave attacks, using massive sounds as a weapon to strike enemies, causing widespread destruction during execution.

Facing the terrifying soundwave, Chen Feng didn’t intercept it. He merely looked ahead with a steady gaze, his body flames growing even more fierce. As they churned furiously, the surrounding muddy sands dried up.

With one sudden pounce, blazing flames twisted the air, and with a hiss, he rapidly closed in on Chen Ligang.

At that moment, Chen Feng did not conceal himself at all. His skin began to transform inch by inch, turning into the hard shell of a Demon. Behind him, a massive tail grew. Facing the soundwave, the enormous tail swung, and the wave turned into void.

Nobody had expected that Chen Feng was also a fire manipulator!

Watching Chen Feng’s transformation, Chen Ligang’s eyes widened, and he screamed loudly, still looking imposing yet devoid of the previous aura of life-and-death control.

Moreover, Chen Feng’s transformation thoroughly intimidated him, halting Chen Ligang’s escape plan. He no longer blindly fled from Shi Xiong but stood on the ground, trying to find the answers he sought.

"Kneel! Kneel and talk to me!"

Chen Feng coldly stared at Chen Ligang: "You have no chance of turning the tables. Unless you acknowledge me as your master and become my loyal dog, you won’t survive. Do you want to follow in Shi Xiong’s footsteps?"

"If kneeling saves my life, then so be it?" Chen Ligang hesitated—then with a thud, he knelt on the sand without the slightest delay.

Hmm...

Chen Feng had to admire these important figures of Xiamen for their pragmatic approach. Shi Xiong did not hesitate to escape the minute there was discord, without fear of others mocking his cowardice. Chen Ligang went even a step further. When urging the other to kneel was a provocation, who would have thought such a formidable expert would comply without hesitation?

In the past, Chen Ligang was sinister and violent, enjoying watching people fight to the death in cages. When facing zombies and insects, people would kneel and beg for mercy, and he would laugh heartily, ignoring them. Now, in a life-or-death moment, he performed such a familiar move.

"A man’s knee is of great value, and your life is certainly worth a lot..." Chen Feng sneered.

However, Chen Ligang wasn’t bothered by Chen Feng’s mockery at all. Instead, he displayed a cheerful smile: "Under the eaves, one has to lower their head. I’m stronger than those wastes, naturally able to control their life and death. Now you’re stronger, and you can impose any demands. That’s how thousands of years of nature’s evolution works. You’re strong; I’m not your match. Furthermore, I know Xiamen very well. With Yan Xiu and me assisting you, it won’t be long before everything here belongs to you!"

"Do you know what kind of people I dislike the most?" Chen Feng gazed at Chen Ligang, speaking in a deep voice: "I dislike smart people, especially those who care nothing for their own face."

Chen Ligang chuckled awkwardly: "A gentleman’s word is as good as gold, and since you have so many strong subordinates, you must have your own way of managing people. Moreover, you agreed that if I knelt, I’d have the opportunity to prove my loyalty—you won’t go back on that, right?"

"Of course, it’s not false. But now, there’s not only one stray dog; there’s also a wandering dog beside you. I forgot to tell you something: I only want to keep one dog."

Chen Feng spoke coldly. Of course, he wanted to take Chen Ligang as a servant—his strength wasn’t weak, and he held power in Xiamen. However, this guy could submit or rise, and inattention might lead to injuries or pain from the other’s bite.

Chen Feng’s mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a way. He looked at the gathering mist and raised his voice: "Lin Tianxiu, do you think hiding in the fog means I can’t do anything? Now I give you a chance. If you want to survive, battle Chen Ligang for this sole chance at life. Show me your strength. The victor lives, the defeated dies!"
