Chapter 299: One-Sided Slaughter

“Boom…” A huge island merged with the island where Ye Feng and Xue Sha stood. The slight collision produced a loud, dull sound.
The moment the two islands connected, over a dozen people crossed from the gap between them and stepped onto the island where Ye Feng was standing, surrounding Ye Feng and Xue Sha.
“Xue Sha, is this the guy who got the palace?” One of them stepped forward, appearing to dismiss Xue Sha completely, but the sweat on his forehead and his fearful gaze revealed his true anxiety.
“Who he is is none of your business. I’m just taking him to see the First Demon Emperor,” Xue Sha said, frowning slightly. Clearly, although this person might not be extremely powerful, he was definitely someone Xue Sha didn’t want to see right now.
“Xue Sha, do you want to defy the orders of the Imperial Council?” Seeing Xue Sha’s hostile expression, the man grew even more fearful and brought up the orders of the Imperial Council to suppress her arrogance.
“Get lost!” Xue Sha’s reply was brief and left no room for objection.
“Xue Sha, with this attitude of yours, we can report it to the Imperial Council and let them comment on your behavior…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Xue Sha glanced at the group with a sideways look and said firmly, “I’ll say it again—get lost!!!”
Ye Feng remained silent, enjoying the spectacle. In his view, if these people could really cause trouble for Xue Sha, he could take the chance to escape. But the strongest among them was only at the Xuanmo level, far too weak. If they fought against Xue Sha, the outcome was obvious—she could kill them in just one move.
The man who had questioned Xue Sha was now drenched in cold sweat, trapped in a difficult situation.
Ye Feng chuckled softly, “If you guys keep blocking the way, you’re likely to get killed!”
Hearing Ye Feng break the silence, the man ignored whether it was a way out or not and simply retreated, “This guy isn’t the one we’re looking for. Let’s leave.”
“Boss, why isn’t he the one we’re looking for?” someone asked quietly after watching Ye Feng and Xue Sha step onto the teleportation island.
“You’re really stupid. Didn’t you see? That guy isn’t afraid of Xue Sha at all. If he were a prisoner captured by Xue Sha, he wouldn’t look so calm.”

“It seems there are quite a few people in the Demon Realm who know you!” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“The journey ahead is very dangerous. I may not be able to bring you back safely. They’re after you, intending to execute you according to the decisions of the Imperial Council. If you think you can stay out of this, then I have nothing more to say.” Seeing Ye Feng’s relaxed expression, Xue Sha warned him, clearly telling him that he couldn’t stay unharmed.
“Throughout the entire Demon Realm, there are hardly any who can match you. You can handle it without my help, right?” Ye Feng also knew that aside from being a threat, Xue Sha’s words held some truth—after all, they were indeed after him, aiming to kill him and take the palace.
“Alone, there are few who can match me, but with more people involved, who knows what might happen? Strength isn’t always proportional to cultivation level. Moreover, there are many extraordinary individuals in the Demon Realm. If you underestimate those weaker, even I could be defeated.” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows at her words. He thought that without experiencing such things, given Xue Sha’s personality, she would never say such things.
“Even with your current strength to fight me, you might still perish in the Demon Realm.” Xue Sha turned to look at Ye Feng. “If you escape before meeting the First Demon Emperor, I may not be able to kill you. But I will definitely report it to the Imperial Council, claiming that you escaped during your transport back for trial. By then, you’ll become a public enemy of the entire Demon Realm. No matter how strong you are, you won’t survive.”
“Is this considered intimidation?” Though Ye Feng was joking, he knew Xue Sha was telling the truth. With her strength, even if no one believed her words, she could still avoid blame. By then, she would surely join in the pursuit, and all the other experts in the Demon Realm would also come out in force.
“By then, not only our Xing Army but also all the elite forces under each Demon Emperor will be mobilized. You won’t stand a chance.” Xue Sha’s expression remained cold.
“Do you know what I’m trying to say?” Ye Feng smiled at her, pausing briefly before continuing, “I won’t die. I’ll live to see my companions.”

Xuesha stared at Ye Feng for a long time, unsure where his confidence came from. “Join our Demon Realm’s Xing Army. Babu is the second Demon Emperor’s confidant. With my support, Babu’s, and that of the first and second Demon Emperors, you’ll be safe. Besides, with your strength, you can compete with me for the top position—definitely a great asset to our Demon Realm.”

“Although there will surely be those who envy you, your strength is sufficient, and with our backing, no one will dare touch you,” Xuesha offered tempting conditions. “As long as you join, it’s as if you’ve become one of the first and second Demon Emperors—no difference from having control over that palace.”

“I’ll think about it!” Ye Feng knew Xuesha was telling the truth. “First, figure out how to get through this difficulty!”

As he spoke, Ye Feng pointed ahead. He could clearly sense a large group of people rushing toward them.

Xuesha frowned slightly. “These annoying flies!”

Soon, a crowd surrounded them—over a hundred people at least.

“Xuesha, I heard you brought back that guy who owns the palace!” One of them stepped forward with a sneer, seemingly unafraid of Xuesha.

“Rajehi, don’t stop me from carrying out my mission,” Xuesha said, clearly wary of him.

At Ye Feng’s current Absolute Demon level, he could also see that the other man was a strong Absolute Demon warrior. But in Ye Feng’s eyes, this guy was far from Xuesha’s match. Of course, Ye Feng crossed his arms and acted indifferent.

“A mission? Why didn’t you kill this guy on the spot? Didn’t the Imperial Council’s mission state that only the palace was needed?” Rajehi persisted.

“Xuesha, his words are really annoying!” Ye Feng turned to look at her. “Are there many such barking dogs in the Demon Realm?”

Xuesha glared at Ye Feng without explaining anything.

“It seems he doesn’t even regard us in the Demon Realm as anything. Xuesha, I order you to kill him!” Rajehi said angrily.

“Huh, this guy actually dares to order you?” Ye Feng smiled at Xuesha.

“I’m the younger brother of the third Demon Emperor. How dare you ignore my orders?” Rajehi shouted at Xuesha.

“Oh, so he has some background!” Ye Feng still looked like he was enjoying the show.

“Rajehi, I’m Xing Jun. Aside from the Imperial Council, we don’t obey anyone else’s orders.” Xuesha clearly didn’t want to fight him.

“Since you refuse to take action, then we’ll do it!” Rajhi turned his head and shouted at the people behind him, “Go, kill him! Seize that palace!”
“Xuesha, let me help you kill this guy. I know you don’t like him; you can pretend not to see him,” Ye Feng said as everyone surrounded him, turning to Xuesha.
Xuesha remained silent for a while before stepping in front of Ye Feng. “Rajhi, you can’t attack him—he’ll kill you! I’m not joking; his strength isn’t weaker than mine.”
“Hmph, so what? You’re just a Xuanmo. Even though you happened to kill two mid-stage Juemo warriors, do you really think your strength is enough to beat me, a late-stage Juemo?” Ye Feng finally understood why the other party was so arrogant—he thought Xuesha was only at the Xuanmo level and believed he could defeat her.
“If you ignore my warning, then I have nothing more to say.” Xuesha shook her head helplessly. Clearly, she wasn’t willing to reveal her true strength.
“Hmm, negotiations are over,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “Xuesha, they’re causing me trouble—I can’t just stand by.”
Xuesha lowered her head helplessly. She could already predict what would happen next.
With a wave of his hand, Rajhi ordered hundreds of people to charge forward.
In an instant, everyone vanished.
“What?” Not only Rajhi but also Xuesha beside him was shocked.
They clearly saw Ye Feng quickly punching everyone to death, but the fact that the bodies disappeared so swiftly was beyond their understanding.
“You…” A chill ran down Xuesha’s spine.
“Since it’s about cleaning up trash, it has to be done thoroughly!” Ye Feng winked at Xuesha. “Without leaving any traces, no one will know it was us!”
“You two…” Hearing this, Rajhi immediately looked at Xuesha warily.
Xuesha frowned slightly. She knew Ye Feng had used the word “us” on purpose to drag her into this, but it was useless to explain anything now. She chose silence—under these circumstances, Rajhi absolutely couldn’t be allowed to go back alive.
“Rajhi, Xuesha said my strength is comparable to hers. It seems you didn’t hear her!” A deep voice suddenly appeared behind Rajhi. “Her true identity is a Blood Demon from a million years ago.”

“Only, you now have to take this secret to the underworld…” As soon as these words were spoken, Rajesh saw his dantian being pierced by a hand wearing silver-white gloves, with his demon infant held in that palm. “No…” Before a sound of fear could escape his throat, the palm exerted sudden force, crushing the demon infant to pieces…
