Retaliation

"Elder Liu! You will die for him!" Zhou Qing grimaced as he saw the outcome of Tang Peng's battle with Elder Liu. He had been good friends with him, as they had survived an expedition to ancient ruins together before.

However, he did not expect that this demonic descendant actually had some semblance of intelligence left. Their original understanding of the Hatred Soldier has led to them lowering their guard, allowing this beast to actually execute Elder Liu.

"Liu Ming, I will take revenge for you!" Even though Zhou Qing was still nurturing his world spirit, he was in the mid tiers of the Soul Nurture Realm. Some of the powers granted by the world spirit could already be used by him.

"Mountain Dragon's Pressure!" The world spirit inside of Zhou Qing appeared above Tang Peng as a humongous dragon, which could rival the height of a mountain. However, there were holes riddled through it, as if it was incomplete.

It still managed to press down on a particular sword that was lodged in Tang Peng's back, making Tang Peng slowly sink back to the ground. The sword itself also started to shrink, but the smaller it became, the heavier it was, which accelerated Tang Peng's fall to the ground.

"If we attack him all at once, it will be the end of the line for him!" Zhou Qing yelled out, as he pulled out a red bow that was engraved with multiple sigils, along with a golden arrow that had the word "Slow" engraved on it.

Since he had entered the Dragonic Sect, he had been trained by various masters of combat on how to properly use weapons skilfully. Resting the arrow on his thumb,Zhou Qing drew his bowstring back with the strength of the world spirit and fired it at Tang Peng's head.

The arrow harboured so much force that it was not affected by the surroundings, so it landed precisely at the top of Tang Peng's head. At this point, Tang Peng had reached the ground, so he was sinking into the soft ground, preventing him from moving.

"Black Dragon's Grasp!" "Breath of Infinity!" The other elders executed their own attacks. Even though their cultivation was vastly inferior to Zhou Qing, they were at the peak of the Rotating Core Realm, and were only delaying entering the Soul Nurture Realm to increase their foundation first.

The atmosphere distorted as various attacks rained down on Tang Peng. The arrow in his head exerted another pressure on him that slowed him down, along with the sword still stuck in his back. Tang Peng had almost pulled the sword out, but he was not fast enough.

Blue flames burned throughout the area around Tang Peng, negating the demonic flames around him. A black dragon apparition was gripping him tightly, restraining his body even further, turning him into a training dummy.

Suddenly, the voice belonging to Elder Liu could be heard screaming out for mercy from inside of Tang Peng's body. "Don't worry, the negative emotions coming from you will be put to good use..." Tang Peng whispered softly.

Inside of Tang Peng, a being formed of pure negative emotions had almost broken out of its cage, but it could not resist the refinement of its body into spiritual soil that was continually being channeled to a red barrier. It slowly lost its strength to the devouring power of the red barrier.

Its face appeared to resemble the late Elder Liu, but the expressions on it harboured pure contempt. The red barrier slowly started to crumble as more and more spiritual soil entered it. At the same time, Tang Peng felt more strength coming into his body. A cocky grin appeared on his face, which shocked the elders that were hurling attacks at him.

"ATTACK ME MORE! MORE AND MORE! NOTHING MATTERS!" Tang Peng taunted the elders flying into the sky, as he easily broke the black dragon apparition with his raw strength.

He breathed out demonic fire, which ate away at the blue flames, turning it into fuel. The elders who had maintained the attack felt the Qi in their body deviate, causing them to form wounds in their meridian points, which in turn slowed their Qi recovery speed.

"Look out everyone. The demonic descendant seems to have grown in power. I don't know what's wrong with this Hatred Soldier, but there is a strange feeling of fear within me." Zhou Qing warned all of them with a stern voice.

However, no one among them could have predicted what happened next. Many creatures of incredible size popped out at once, all of them pouncing at Tang Peng. Zhou Qing was shocked at the demonic beasts that had appeared.

These were the supreme beasts that had their own territories in the Lang Tian mountains. They were estimated to be at the same strength as the average elder, at the peak of the Rotating Core realm, and possessed intelligence.

However, their true strength was still unknown, as the Dragonic Sect purposefully steered clear of them. The beasts acted as great deterrents against intruders of other sects who thought that they could steal Dragonic Sect's resources.

"The demonic descendant actually triggered a beast tide of superior beasts? What secret is he hiding? At the very least, we just need to stay here and watch now. The demonic beasts will finish him for us." All of the elders was excited by this turn of events. With such an overwhelming amount of demonic beasts, even if the demonic descendant could survive, they would be the ones to finish him off.

"MEDDLESOME BEASTS!" Tang Peng used his claws to swipe at them, but his swipe had only enough power to penetrate through two beasts worth of defence. Even though those beasts died, the other beasts started to bite at Tang Peng violently. There was no intelligence in their actions. Only hunger remained inside these beasts.

Tang Peng started to flapping his fleshy wings, releasing a wave of demonic fire that spread throughout the demonic beasts. However, they were unfettered, attacking Tang Peng faster for every damage they received.

"As we thought! If these beasts keep it up, he will be turned into a pile of mincemeat in no time!" Zhou Qing got excited over the sight of Tang Peng being suppressed.
