Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God

Chapter 1980: Chapter 1979: Executing the Old Turtle?

Li Feng looked down from on high at the gathered Demon Clan from all sides. These demons hailed from different races and tribes; the claim that the Southern Demon Country was home to myriad tribes was no exaggeration.

It’s even possible that on different mountain peaks, even within the same race, there might be variations in bloodline, with some tribes developing distinct racial characteristics due to geographic separation.

An easy example is the Wolf Clan, which comprises six major clans. Although these clans belong to the Wolf Clan, each one has its own unique traits.

The Swift Wind Clan’s most revered racial innate skill is the Wind God Body, and they developed racial techniques based on this. However, the Sharp Tooth Clan, though possessing the Wind God Body, focused their racial techniques in the direction of skeleton.

These different focuses result in different racial innate skills.

But despite the myriad transformations, they all follow the same core principle. The strength of the Demon Clan depends on their own bloodline heritage, which, although inherited, can indeed be surpassed. Through continuous breakthroughs and reproduction, they enhance their bloodline to strengthen the tribe, which is the Demon Clan’s path of cultivation.

This path of cultivation is more akin to the law of nature, akin to Darwin’s theory of evolution—survival of the fittest.

Of course, this cultivation path has its advantages; the efforts of predecessors allow descendants to enjoy the benefits. If you were born into a powerful demon race, then as you grow, the innate skills etched in your bloodline will awaken.

This is unlike human cultivators, where cultivation involves breaking one’s limits, battling heaven, battling earth, and battling oneself.

Some demon clans are strong, while others are not. In the demon environment where the strong are revered and the weak are subjugated, there are both complacent demon clans and industrious ones.

As long as there’s a desire to become stronger among demon clans, they can be drawn in, provided Li Feng offers them enough benefits to make them swarm like moths to a flame.

Without offering benefits, expecting people to risk their lives is just being a rogue.

Therefore, Li Feng was not upset about not recruiting people earlier, because that’s just human nature.

Standing atop a pillar, Li Feng surveyed the surroundings, gathering his thoughts before speaking with a commanding voice.

"My Fire Phoenix Clan, Feng Yang."

"Some of you may have seen me, others may not have."

"The tales of my Fire Phoenix Clan are widely known by now, and I don’t wish to indulge in talks of the future nor make any promises."

"I’m here to restore the past glory of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and I unabashedly admit that. But I can’t do it alone. Thus, I need many people to sacrifice and toil for my vision."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Demon Clan started to murmur among themselves.

This bold one really speaks his mind.

Li Feng paused momentarily and continued, "Expecting you all to sacrifice and toil for my goal without reason, only a fool would agree to that."

"So next, I will tell you what you stand to gain by following me."

Even before Li Feng finished speaking, there was some commotion in the back of the Demon Clan.

"It’s that old turtle."

One of the Demon Clan immediately recognized the old turtle. This old turtle was easy to spot, given that the Turtle Clan was a major clan in the Northern Kunlun but quite rare in the South, and this old turtle was alone, without a tribe, truly unique in the camp.

"This old turtle is in trouble now."

"Hmm, is that person planning to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Many Demon Clan members watched the escorted old turtle with mixed feelings of indignation and helplessness.

Li Feng saw the old turtle being brought over and stepped down from the pillar.

"Lord Feng Yang, the slandering old turtle has been brought. Shall we execute him publicly to intimidate those who spread rumors?"

He Buran stepped forward to ask.

Li Feng ignored He Buran, walking directly up to the old turtle and waving the Bei Clan warriors aside.

He Buran signaled to several trusted aides, who immediately released the old turtle and stepped back. He Buran stood behind, squinting at Li Feng.

"Heh, I wonder how he plans to handle this old turtle."

"We’ll see soon enough." Cao She from the Badger Clan also sneered silently.

Li Feng looked the old turtle up and down: "So you’re the one spreading the word that I’m a harbinger of disaster, telling everyone not to follow me?"

The old turtle, with a nonchalant attitude toward life and death, fearlessly said, "It was me. Kill or cut me as you please."

"Heh, quite the old tough guy."

Li Feng chuckled as he gazed at the old turtle, "Very well, your straightforwardness saves me a lot of trouble. Since you’ve admitted it, accept my punishment."

Li Feng said, placing his hand on the old turtle’s shoulder. In an instant, the Phoenix Flame ignited, quickly spreading across the old turtle’s body like a campfire, rising over a yard high.

"How could he be this way? The old turtle spoke the truth, and yet he’s so brutal."

In the crowd of Demon Clan members, Yuan Ye and his sister Yuan Kerren, who resembled a Barbie doll, were also watching. Yuan Kerren, with a childlike face, was gritting her teeth, clearly having lost any favorable impression of Li Feng.

"Brother, such a person is not worth our Ape Clan serving him."

Yuan Ye frowned at the sight. While publicly executing the old turtle could indeed serve as a warning and instill fear in many demons, it could also cause many to keep a respectful distance.

It’s too unwise.

This moment, Yuan Ye felt a sense of disappointment and relief; after all, their ancestral instructions were a hurdle he couldn’t overcome.

But the other’s brutality gave them a justified reason to not involve themselves.

The surrounding demons were all wide-eyed, watching this scene, making their own decisions.

"Heh, still so naive, actually executing the old turtle publicly." He Buran sneered disdainfully; he initially thought this one coming down from the mountain might stir some waves, but it’s clear now they overestimated. No matter how strong, the other’s brain seemed not as sharp.

Phoenix Flame quickly penetrated the old turtle’s organs and limbs, being omnipresent.

The old turtle experienced an internal burning sensation yet stubbornly didn’t utter a sound, allowing the Phoenix Flame to consume his flesh.

Li Feng watched the silent endurance of the old turtle with interest: "Heh, you’ve got some backbone. Let’s turn up the heat."

With that, Li Feng intensified the Phoenix Flame from fiery red to scorching white, finally forcing the old turtle to scream.

"You’ll die a bad death."

With an evil charm smile, Li Feng’s grin made everyone around shiver: "That’s all? It doesn’t hurt at all."

The old turtle saw Li Feng’s expression and summoned all his energies, hoping to at least insult him even if it wouldn’t change anything.

He wasn’t willing to die just like that.

Li Feng listened to the old turtle’s curses with a good-natured smile, recognizing the remarkable vitality of this ancient turtle.

However, the heat seemed just about right.

The next moment, Li Feng took out an Ice Lotus Seed, far more precious than its flower petals.

Li Feng seized the chance while the old turtle was cursing and tossed the Ice Lotus into his mouth. The old turtle almost choked, rolling his eyes, but still swallowed the Ice Lotus.

As the Ice Lotus dispersed its energy, a powerful Life Force spread out, and on the old turtle’s shell, turtle script appeared, forming a profound Turtle Rune Formation that enveloped the old turtle.
