Chapter 2012: Chapter 2011: Burning Bridges?
Gu Mo heard another Chiliarch next to him ask, turned his head and said: "What’s going on, I’m not too sure either. I only know that the blood in my entire body is boiling, almost burning out. But at that moment, a force of flame surged through my body."
"Afterwards, when I woke up, I found out that the bloodline in my body seemed completely different. Then you saw it too, I just wanted to test the demonic power surging inside me, and then I flew out."
The nearby members of the Wolf Clan heard Gu Mo’s words, and exchanged glances. It seemed to make sense, but Gu Mo’s transformation was genuinely real.
"Next batch."
At this moment, Chong Xuan’s voice came.
"I’ll go."
"Why should you go?"
The two leading Chiliarchs immediately started vying.
"Quiet down, or all of you go back." Chong Xuan said unceremoniously.
"Gu Ran, you step down first, Gu Hai, you wait a bit." Gu Feng also directly interrupted his subordinates’ argument. Right now, they were the ones asking for a favor, not to mention, the one in that bunker was no simple character.
At least three Demon Generals were needed to handle him.
The second batch soon descended into the bunker. Meanwhile, the people dispatched by the Lion Clan and Bull Clan also gradually arrived. But on the Lion Clan’s side, apart from a hundred being from the Lion Clan, the other two hundred were subordinate warriors from the Leopard Clan.
And the leader was not the Grand Steward but a Demon General from the Lion Clan.
The Bull Clan, however, still had Hun Tian leading, his three hundred subordinates came from Niu Gengtian’s trusted aides.
Li Feng didn’t stop for a moment, and resolved the three hundred Wolf Clan members within an hour. Next was the Lion Clan, yet the individuals in the Lion Clan were clearly stronger than those in the Wolf Clan; even the weakest in this hundred from the Lion Clan possessed the strength of a Wolf Clan’s Chiliarch.
The leader was even a high-ranking warrior from the Lion Clan.
This undeniably took more time for Li Feng, and this time he didn’t enhance them in batches of one hundred. After all, having tempered the bloodline of the Wolf Clan, Li Feng was already experienced, and since the individual combat strength of the Wolf Clan was not strong, it naturally didn’t take much effort.
But the foundational strength of the Lion Clan was even stronger than anticipated. The stronger the bloodline of such a Demonic Clan, the more difficult it was to temper the bloodline and brand an imprint.
Li Feng had to give up refining a hundred members, having one warrior from the Lion Clan come forward first. Li Feng had encountered the Lion Clan in the Molten Lava Cave, and even had a corpse of a Golden Lion Clan member in his Storage Ring.
This clan was innately aligned with the Gold Element, hence they were also known as the Golden Lion Clan. Their physical bodies that commanded the Gold Element were nearly impervious to any spear, innately possessing a maxed-out Golden Bell Shield, and their sharp claws were incredibly formidable.
In the Five Elements, Fire overcomes Gold.
Yet Gold did not particularly repel Fire, and even after merging with the Fire Element, the Gold Element would be even more variable. When it came to the transformation of the Lion Clan, Li Feng felt uncertain, because this clan was very strong, and if transformed overwhelmingly, that would indeed be troublesome.
"Why is it taking so long?"
"The Lion Clan, with its inherently powerful individual strength, is naturally more difficult to temper the stronger it gets. After all, without much potential, besides, the Lion Clan is Gold Element, which doesn’t align well with Fire Element."
"Hmm, that’s true, unlike our clan’s warriors, Fire and Earth Element complement each other, greatly enhancing strength." Hun Tian nodded in agreement nearby.
"The same goes for my Wolf Clan."
Gu Feng was unwilling to be overshadowed.
"Gu Feng, hasn’t your Wolf Clan already finished? People have gone back, why are you still hanging around here?"
Hun Tian glanced at Gu Feng, who was lingering around, and Gu Feng shrugged: "I’m staying to show my gratitude to Lord Feng Yang."
"Oh, is that so?"
Just as Gu Feng was sparring verbally with Hun Tian, a wave of shocking fire surged out from the entrance of the bunker.
"Roar."
Following that, a Lion Roar with successive sound waves swept out.
"This aura."
The two Demon Kings sensed this aura, seemingly an unformed domineering aura of a King, and exchanged glances.
Could it be that this guy has created another Demon King?
"Probably hasn’t broken through yet."
"Hmm, if it had, that would be incredibly against the norm."
Gu Feng took a deep breath, for the Lion Clan was far more formidable than the Wolf Clan; even at the same level, the Wolf Clan could not match the Lion Clan.
In fact, the top warriors of the Lion Clan could rival the low-rank Demon Kings of the Wolf Clan, with the racial gap creating a difference of half a level.
Luckily, the Lion Clan population was small, the entire Lion Clan amounted to just over ten thousand tribe members, and those arriving here amounted to only a hundred from the Lion Clan, others being the subordinate Leopard Clan members.
Gu Feng was well aware of the Wolf Commander’s intentions. This Li Feng was both an asset and a danger that must be guarded against, given the Wolf Clan’s large numbers, having mobilized twenty thousand Wolf Riders for this battle alone.
Choosing ten thousand out of twenty thousand, regardless of Li Feng’s plans or meddling, it wouldn’t affect the foundation of the Wolf Clan.
But it was different for the Lion Clan, with only around ten thousand members, they were known far and wide as unbeatable within that scale.
Therefore, the maximum number of Lion Clan warriors they could muster was three thousand, now bringing around a thousand to the frontline camp.
Li Feng’s offer of three hundred slots per day was ample for the Lion Clan. He—a Wolf Clan with caution in mind—expected the Lion Commander to be equally vigilant?
Therefore, at most, the Lion Commander would only send thirty percent of the Lion Clan warriors, any more would mean sleepless nights for the Lion Commanders.
However.
Gu Feng squinted towards the bunker, but even with those three hundred Lion Clan warriors enhancing, their combat strength would likely multiply several times over.
Within the bunker.
The Lion Clan’s warrior Wanyan Tiemu felt the restless bloodline within him. As the scorching golden blood flowed through, power surged in spurts. Wanyan Tiemu stretched, with the bones in his body emitting explosive noises.
He felt as if he was in a mysterious state, just a hair’s breadth away from the realm of a Demon King, his aura of a King still somewhat incomplete.
Wanyan Tiemu’s golden eyes looked at Li Feng in front of him.
"Just a hair away."
Wanyan Tiemu clenched his fist: "I’ve long heard that your Fire Phoenix Clan was once comparable to the Dragon Emperor, due to you, the Wolf Clan gained another Demon King. I can feel the growth of power within me, but it’s just shy of a breakthrough. Might I ask if you can see this through to the end?"
"I need a battle to help me cross this threshold."
Wanyan Tiemu looked at Li Feng with a defiant face, entirely as if ready to burn bridges.
Li Feng squinted at Wanyan Tiemu, curling his lips.
"Heh, I was also thinking of seeing if my creation is truly that powerful." Li Feng said, beckoning Wanyan Tiemu with his hand.
"Everyone step back."
Wanyan Tiemu made the Lion Clan warriors behind him retreat. As his demon blood boiled, Wanyan Tiemu’s body burst into golden light, accompanied by a strand of flame swirling, which transformed into an extraordinarily dazzling golden gleam.
Both in appearance and stance, this Lion Clan certainly stood second to none.
"Vajra Lion Fist."
Wanyan Tiemu drew in a breath, and in the next second, his fists shot out like a tiger or leopard, ripping through the air with the force of the punch. The surrounding flames were extinguished by the chaotic stream, and in the darkness, Wanyan Tiemu’s fists rushed forth like a shower of golden meteors.
