Chapter 307: Semi-God-Level Powerhouses

“Xuesha, use your domain!” Ye Feng’s voice suddenly came to Xuesha’s ears, leaving her momentarily stunned. Usually, when an opponent’s strength was comparable to one’s own, using telepathy was extremely risky, as even a slight mistake could result in severe damage.
Xuesha frowned slightly, unsure of what Ye Feng was up to.
“Attacking the host of theGu worm worm is useless; you must target the worm directly. These worms fear low temperatures—when the temperature drops, their movements slow down significantly. If it gets cold enough, they enter hibernation and remain asleep. At that point, they can no longer control their hosts, allowing you to take advantage and kill them,” Ye Feng said. Though skeptical about how he knew this, Xuesha didn’t ask further and instead sent a message to Tie Niu.
“Tie Niu, Dao Feng has told me how to deal with them. Draw your opponent over here, and I’ll activate my domain. You should come in too to help.” Tie Niu didn’t ask many questions. He simply glanced at Xuesha before rushing in her direction. His opponent, seeing him flee, chased after him, fearing he might escape or join forces with Xuesha to kill their comrade.
Wu Ze, on the other hand, seemed confident and paid no attention to what Tie Niu was doing.
“It seems your two friends are trying some tricks,” Wu Ze said to Ye Feng with a smile. “But it’s useless. The King of All Poisons is a flawless worm with no flaws. With their strength, they can’t win no matter what they do.”
“Not necessarily!” Ye Feng smiled triumphantly as he saw Xuesha finally activate her domain, enclosing the other three. “Creating the King of All Poisons requires tens of thousands of divine-grade worms. Are you sure what you’ve created is the real King of All Poisons?”
“How do you know that?” Wu Ze stared at Ye Feng in surprise. He had only heard about it himself. The method he had obtained by chance mentioned it briefly but didn’t go into detail.
“The real King of All Poisons is a god-destroying-level worm with independent thinking abilities, one of the finest among divine-grade worms. But what you’ve created isn’t even considered divine-grade!” Ye Feng continued.
“Who exactly are you?” Wu Ze’s expression grew wary.

“My name is Dao Feng. Don’t you know that?” Ye Feng replied calmly. “The thing you’ve created only has simple thinking abilities. It’s worlds apart from a true Poisonous Gu King with an adult-level intelligence. It can really only be called a Poisonous Gu worm. A true Poisonous Gu King is indeed a perfect gu worm, with almost no flaws. But what you’ve created isn’t perfect and has fatal defects.”

“How is that possible? You’re lying!” Wu Ze clearly still wasn’t aware of the flaws in the Poisonous Gu King he had created.

“Firstly, since the Poisonous Gu worm you created only has simple thinking abilities, to carry out your commands accurately, you must communicate through the Gu King and the Poisonous Gu worm inside you. Am I right?” Ye Feng glanced coldly at Wu Ze.

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Wu Ze’s pupils widened dramatically. Clearly struck by his words, he looked at Ye Feng in horror. “You…”

“So, to deal with those two guys, there’s a simpler way: just kill you and eliminate the Gu King inside you. For some time after the Gu King inside you is killed, those two Poisonous Gu Kings will be in a state of extreme weakness, making it easy to kill them. Poisonous Gu worms have hard armor, but your Gu King doesn’t, right? As far as I know, members of your Witch tribe who use gu magic implant soft-bodied Gu Kings inside them. This way, when the Gu King moves around inside, it causes less strain on your body. After all, gu worms with hard shells moving around inside would damage your internal structure.” Ye Feng smiled. “As long as we force the gu worm out of your body, killing it isn’t difficult.”

“Who told you all this?” Wu Ze was shocked. He never expected Ye Feng to know things even inner members of his tribe would be aware of. “What else do you know?”

“I also know…” At that moment, Ye Feng heard a loud rumbling sound coming from Xue Sha’s domain not far away and turned his head to look in that direction.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Ze clutched his head and cried out in pain, “Ah…”

After a few harsh gasps, he looked at Ye Feng in disbelief. “How is this possible? My two Poisonous Gu Kings… How did they do this? Did you teach them?”

At this moment, Xuesha’s domain gradually dissipated, leaving behind two human corpses and the bodies of two ugly-looking beetles on the ground, keeping Wu Ze’s eyes fixed on them for a long time. Xuesha and Tieniu then walked toward the direction where Ye Feng was.

“By the way, I’ll tell you now about another fatal flaw in the Poisonous Gu Worms you created. These worms are extremely sensitive to low temperatures. When the temperature drops, their mobility is greatly reduced, and so is that of the host they control. When the temperature drops low enough, the worms enter a dormant state, and the host stops moving, becoming easy prey.”

“Blood Demon only needs to lower the temperature in his domain to easily deal with these two worms,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

“Low temperature…” Hearing this, Wu Ze seemed to remember something. “No wonder those two guys always seem lazy in winter… I never knew why. It’s because of the temperature…”

“Blade, how much longer are you going to chat?” Xuesha glared at Ye Feng irritably. “I thought you’d have taken care of that guy by now, since we just killed him.”

“Can’t you see I’m stuck by this thing?” Ye Feng said with an innocent expression.

“This kind of thing can be cut off easily…” Tieniu offered to help but was stopped by Ye Feng. “Don’t use your hands!”

Hearing this, Tieniu took out a long knife from his ring and carefully swung it, trying to cut free from the things entangling him. But as soon as the knife touched the sticky tentacles, it got wrapped around and couldn’t be pulled out. The tentacles then spread along the blade and shot in the direction of Tieniu. Thanks to Ye Feng’s earlier warning, Tieniu was prepared and immediately retreated at full speed to escape.

Seeing this, Xuesha also stepped back immediately, afraid of being touched by those things.

“What is this thing?” Tieniu patted his chest, still shaken. With Ye Feng’s strength, he couldn’t move even after being entangled. If he were trapped, his situation would likely be no better. If not for Ye Feng’s warning earlier, he might have ended up in the same situation as Ye Feng.

“Don’t think just because the two of you killed my two subordinates that you’re that great. Since they were subordinates, it means their strength is inferior to mine.” Wu Ze glared coldly at Xue Sha and Tie Niu. “I need to take Dao Feng with me right away; I want him to help me improve my Gu arts. As for you two, if you don’t want to die, get out of the way. That task of mine can be skipped—it’s a waste of my time. Two Gu worms in exchange for a master of Gu arts? This deal is absolutely worth it.”
“I can’t hand Dao Feng over to you. I still need to take him to see the First Demon Emperor!” Xue Sha naturally refused.
“Of course I can’t hand him over to you. I’ve promised to protect him—I won’t break my word, not even in death!” Tie Niu was even more resolute.
“That’s not up to you!” A golden light burst from Wu Ze’s eyes.
“You’ve always thought that the Absolute Demon level is the peak strength in the Demon Realm. A bunch of kids even daring to call themselves emperors? They truly have no idea their limits! Today, I’ll show you what true peak strength in the Demon Realm looks like!” As soon as Wu Ze spoke, his robe suddenly tore open, revealing his bare chest. His red skin showed prominently defined muscles, and his bones cracked with each movement.
“What? He’s the Demon Lord!” Xue Sha suddenly exclaimed in shock.
“The Demon Lord?” Tie Niu was stunned upon hearing this.
“I didn’t expect you, girl, to have some insight.” Wu Ze slightly restrained his aura. “Millions of years ago, when you caused chaos in the Demon Realm, I was at the peak of the Absolute Demon level. But thanks to the enhancement from Gu worms, my strength was almost on par with that of a demi-god. I originally wanted to compete with you to revitalize my Black Witch clan, but I was opposed by all the elders in my clan. In anger, I secluded myself and spent tens of thousands of years to reach the demi-god level. Although the Gu King within me hasn’t reached the divine level, I’m confident I can fight against gods. Now, after millions of years, with two Poisonous Gu Kings nourishing it, my Gu King has also reached the demi-god level, further enhancing my strength. The two of you aren’t my match—just step aside obediently!”
“Tie Niu, your task to protect me is over. You can leave with Blood Demon now!” Ye Feng’s words made Tie Niu and Xue Sha look at him in surprise.
“That won’t do. I promised to protect you. Even if it’s over, it has to wait until this matter is resolved.” Tie Niu was extremely stubborn.

“Blood Demon, take him away. You’re no match for him.” Ye Feng turned to Xue Sha. “His power is a hundred times greater than yours. The two of you have no chance of winning!”
“I promised the First Demon Emperor that I would bring you back alive. If I can’t do that, then let him kill you!” Xue Sha still persisted.
“Since neither of you will comply, then die!” Wu Ze shouted at them.
