Chapter 65: The War Temple

Whoosh…

The figures of Hu Feng and others appeared from the Void, kicking up a cold wind, and instantly arrived at the Witch Square a hundred miles away.

This was a huge Underground World square. The pitch-black soil was covered with a layer of hard Blue Flower Stone, and at regular intervals, huge Fire Fluorite stones stood upright, lighting up the underground world like burning torches.

The sky was pitch black and gloomy, filled with lingering black fog. There were no clouds; above the black fog lay the thick soil. Looking out, everywhere were Harpy Witches with their wings folded, squeezed together. The sudden appearance of the few people was like a stone thrown into a thousand waves, quickly stirring up a sensation. Countless Harpy Witches rushed over from all directions. In an instant, people fell into an ocean of Harpy Witches.

“L-Lord, what should we do?”

Looking at the dense waves of witches surging from all directions, the thief Cardiron’s face turned pale, and his legs involuntarily trembled. These Harpy Witches were fast and fierce. He couldn’t even beat one. When they surged over like a tide, he became so nervous that his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

“Besides killing our way through, what else can we do?”

Looking at the timid thief, Hu Feng smiled faintly. He suddenly turned around, and a massive Demon God Phantom appeared behind him. He opened his mouth and sucked hard. Instantly, flying sand and rolling stones appeared, swallowing the surging Harpy Witches directly. They were crushed, devoured, and refined. His fierce power was fully revealed, and his Killing Intent was like clouds, just like an Ancient Demon God. The Harpy Witches, originally surging over like a flood, stopped all at once!

“Little Demon!”

Hu Feng shouted fiercely, pouring all the power gained from devouring so many witches into the Tree Demon’s body from a distance, helping him break through the bottleneck of the peak of the Thirteenth Step. He took the pitch-black and cold Dark Magic Pen from his body. With a single stroke of the large pen, millions of sharp crossbow bolts suddenly appeared in the air. They whistled out with piercing sounds of breaking the air.

In an instant, all the Harpy Witches within a range of more than ten meters around everyone fell down. Without exception, they were hit in the brow, and their heads were pierced through by a single arrow. Then, with a wave of his large hand, more than a hundred Skeleton Warriors dug out of the ground and staggered toward the Harpy Witches.

Slaughtering everywhere!

Hu Feng was full of Killing Intent. Even if there were more and more Harpy Witches surging over, he showed no fear. He led the charge toward the Temple on the opposite side of the square. He would kill gods if gods blocked his way, and Buddhas if Buddhas blocked his way. After condensing four Demon God Phantoms in his body, his combat power was completely different from before. His attacks were simpler and more direct, yet his power had more than doubled!

After devouring a Harpy Witch’s memory, he decisively chose to strike straight at the center.

Except for the Witch Elders who were cultivating in seclusion within the War Temple, ordinary Witches were just trash, no matter how many there were. He had brought the thief Cardiron and the Death Warrior Udely not to let them help in the fight, but just to see if they knew the nearby terrain. That was all.

“Ahh…”

Suddenly flooded with a large amount of pure energy, the Tree Demon Stanley involuntarily groaned.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Thousands of tree roots shot out like whips and thorns, piercing deeply into the bodies of the Harpy Witches and desperately absorbing their essence. Hu Feng led the way at the front. The Death Warrior Udely protected the timid thief behind him. This Tree Demon was responsible for covering their retreat. As a large amount of energy poured in, more and more tree roots extended from his body, and his attack range grew larger. He fiercely crushed all the Harpy Witches who couldn’t dodge in time, not even sparing those lying on the ground gasping for their last breath. The gloomy underground square gradually became shrouded in thick fluctuations of Wood Magic Power, with each wave higher than the last.

One man and one demon advanced quickly like a bulldozer.

Looking from afar, it seemed like a sharp dagger pierced into the dense Grand Formation of the Harpy Witches, with a majestic momentum. Wherever they passed, rows of Harpy Witches with their wings spread wide fell from the sky. Not a single one could stop their footsteps!

Relying on the power of the peak of the Thirteenth Step, the Tree Demon could kill a large number of Harpy Witches alone, but doing so calmly was difficult. Killing them so thoroughly and satisfyingly was impossible. The essence blood and Soul energy of every fallen witch poured into his body without leaving a trace. With Hu Feng’s help, the speed of absorbing the witches’ essence was increased by more than a hundred times, even a thousand times. In a short moment, the energy he absorbed was even more than that of hundreds of years of Cultivation!

Boom…

As the fluctuations of Wood Magic Power in the air became more and more intense, the Tree Demon Stanley, who had sharp attacks, suddenly trembled all over. His body swelled up, growing from a little over five meters to ten meters in an instant. The dense tree roots gathered and shrank, transforming into two thick and powerful legs like stone piers. His muscles were developed and strong. No matter how fiercely the Harpy Witches clawed at him, they left no marks. With a thought in his heart, a sky-covering cage trapped all the Harpy Witches within a thousand-meter radius. Boundless tree roots appeared in the Void, piercing their chests with a “whoosh” sound.

Fourteenth Step!

With Hu Feng’s strong assistance, the Tree Demon, who had already shown signs of breaking through, finally broke through the bottleneck and became a true high-tier creature.

Between the peak of the Thirteenth Step and the Fourteenth Step, there was only a thin line of difference, but the strength had an abyss-like gap. After breaking through to the Fourteenth Step, the power of the Tree Demon Kingdom truly showed itself. It was no less than the Withered Wood Cage of the Withered Wood General and even superior in attack. Along the way, all the Harpy Witches who couldn’t dodge in time were trapped and exterminated. As many as came, as many died!

“Good, Little Demon. This time, you didn’t disappoint me!”

Hu Feng’s Killing Intent was sky-high. His right hand grasped at the Void, pulling a Witch Commander hiding a hundred meters away. She struggled desperately, but it was useless. The Demon God Phantom behind him swallowed her in one bite. Then, with a pull and a stroke of the Dark Magic Pen, the temperature in the square suddenly dropped. Every Harpy Witch felt her body sink, and a thick layer of ice crystals formed on her spread wings, falling to the ground like rain. Before they could stand up, they were swept up by a terrible tornado and fell into a bottomless bloody maw.

In the midst of his killing spree, Hu Feng ran the Great Devour Technique to its extreme!

He pressed down at the Void, pouring pure power into the Death Warrior Udely’s body. The latter let out a roar. His developed muscles twitched slightly, producing a piercing sound burst, showing signs of breaking through to the Thirteenth Step. He raised his right leg high and then stamped down hard, triggering a fierce shockwave. A squad of Harpy Witches rushing toward him was instantly hit like by a hammer, blown far away by the impact. Their bodies didn’t even hit the ground before they died!

War Stomp!

The Death Warrior, having absorbed a large amount of energy, instantly went berserk. Although his attack range was not as monstrous as the Tree Demon’s, his attacks were crisp and clean. Carrying a person on his back, he was as fierce as a wolf or a tiger!

Clang, clang, clang…

Seeing that the casualties were heavy, a melodious bell sound suddenly echoed from the nearby Temple. The Harpy Witches, who had rushed forward one after another, quickly retreated and disappeared into the darkness. The huge underground square was left with only large patches of blood to witness the fierce battle just now.

“Foreign guests, welcome to the War Temple of our Witch race!”

A hoarse voice came from within the Temple.

The originally closed doors suddenly creaked open with a “ga” sound, blowing out a cold wind. Unlike the cold air emitted by the Dark Heavenly Book on Saintess Peak, it wasn’t very cold, but it gave people a weird feeling. It felt like cold eyes were watching him in the dark, leaving no secrets in his body!
