CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57 PREPARING DEMON ZETA (VOTE FOR SUPPORT!)

"Should I call you Huang Chuanhao, or should I call you a hellish mongrel?" Chu Feng’s face was full of playful scrutiny as he watched the bizarre figure approach.

"Damned human, you’ve messed up my mission! I will put you into the flames of Hell and watch you slowly roast to death."

A roar, unlike any human voice, emanated from Huang Chuanhao’s mouth, which was filled with black viscous liquid.

"Oh? With just your Demon Soldier Level strength?"

The playful tone in Chu Feng’s voice didn’t seem to anger the other party.

"Hahahaha! I should actually thank you few humans!" The voice of the prospective Demon Zeta clearly carried a hint of pride.

"If it wasn’t for you delivering such a powerful Exorcist’s body, I don’t know how much longer I would’ve needed to promote to a Demon! After I kill you, I can return and prepare for my promotion."

"Heh, what an idiot!" Chu Feng shook his head and couldn’t help but sneer upon hearing this.

"You little Demon Soldier must be possessing an Exorcist for the first time, right? Otherwise, how have you not noticed the problem until now?"

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, a chill ran down Zeta’s spine, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared.

"Now, why don’t you feel this body again?"

As he spoke, Chu Feng snapped his fingers, and the Crystal Stone that had slipped to some part of Huang Chuanhao’s body immediately stopped emitting Spiritual Power.

"How can this be... cunning human!" With eyes shooting fire, triggered by the truth, Zeta instantly abandoned Huang Chuanhao’s now useless carcass.

Zeta, revealing his dark green true form from within Chu Feng’s shadow, extended his thick and ferocious claws, slashing towards Chu Feng’s back.

CLANG!

A harsh metallic clash rang out.

Zeta, who was certain of his attack, was shocked to find that his own pair of sharp claws had been firmly blocked by just a long blade in the opponent’s hand.

"Little thing, if it had been me half a month ago, you might actually have succeeded with your sneak attack!"

Feeling the strength coming from the opponent’s claws, a slight smile appeared in Chu Feng’s eyes.

It seems the Attribute Points I’ve added over this time weren’t in vain. Otherwise, facing this Demon Soldier on the verge of promoting to a Demon, I might have actually been overwhelmed!

"Impossible! How could such a powerful Exorcist appear in the Human World in such a short time? Just who are you?"

The prospective Demon Zeta was filled with shock. The strength of this Exorcist was completely illogical; he might not even be from the Human World at all.

Realizing he might not be a match for his opponent, his innate drive to kill was temporarily suppressed by the threat of death.

Zeta slowly pulled back his claws from the long blade, his blood-red eyes firmly fixed on Chu Feng’s movements, slowly retreating towards the shadows behind him.

"What? Can’t win and thinking of running?"

Chu Feng was naturally not going to let this visitor from Hell, who had delivered himself to his doorstep, get away.

With a swing of the long blade in his hand, its edge instantly met the opponent’s throat.

Facing the sharp edge of the Demon Hunting Blade, Zeta dared not move an inch.

I’m about to promote to a Demon; I can’t afford to lose my life in this place.

"Speak! How many Gates of Breaking Boundary is Hell planning to construct in the Human World?" Chu Feng spared the life of this clearly life-cherishing Demon Soldier for the moment, in order to probe for information about Hell.

"Give it up, human! I will never betray the great Demon God of Hell!" Zeta put on an expression of indifference to life and death, but the trembling gaze he cast at the blade’s edge betrayed him.

"Oh? Is that so? I think not!" Chu Feng moved the long blade in his hand upwards, placing it directly on the freshly exposed goat horns on the opponent’s head.

"I’ll start by chopping off these unsightly horns, then you can decide whether to speak or not!" With a slight exertion of his wrist, the edge of the Demon Hunting Blade sank a third of the way in.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" Seeing Chu Feng actually point the long blade at his demonic symbol, which was more important to him than his life, Zeta instantly chose to cower.

"Just one! Only this one here! This was merely a probe by Hell into the Human World this time, but whether there’ll be a next time, that’s beyond what I know! Moreover..."

Zeta carefully lifted the Demon Hunting Blade from his small goat horn and, with a pained expression, tenderly stroked the wound.

"Moreover, what good would it do you to destroy the Gate of Breaking Boundary? The collision between Hell and the Human World is inevitable, an unstoppable trend!"

After listening to the other party’s words, Chu Feng was taken aback, yet his expression remained unchanged.

"So what? If I can stop you for a moment, I’ll stop you for a moment. If I can stop you for a lifetime, then I’ll stop you for a lifetime."

"Why would you, an Easterner, fight to the death for the West? If you choose to join us and rebuild the Gate of Breaking Boundary, once Hell and the Human World converge, the Demon God will surely grant you mighty strength and endless life."

Zeta’s words were clearly tinged with temptation, but Chu Feng discerned another piece of information within them.

This Gate of Breaking Boundary incident involved humans who had chosen to surrender to Hell, commonly known as traitors.

"But I’ve heard an Evil Spirit from Hell, who claimed to be an Evil God, say that after Hell has overwhelmed the West, they plan on invading the East as well?"

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Zeta’s heart clenched; he cursed internally about which fool had been so indiscreet.

"How could that be?

"Hell would never wage war against the forces there!

"An insignificant Evil Spirit daring to call itself an Evil God must be out of its mind.

"You need not take its words to heart, rest assured."

Knowing Zeta’s words were unreliable, Chu Feng mentally interpreted their opposite meaning.

After cross-referencing with the experiences from his previous life, Chu Feng thought to himself, So, Hell is definitely planning on invading my homeland in the future!

"Right, the construction of this Gate of Breaking Boundary, did those humans help you?"

Even if he was a bit slow, Zeta had realized by now that the human before him had no intention of joining Hell.

With a swift shift in his gaze, Zeta immediately chose to lie.

"Of course, no one helped me. A mere Formation, with my strength about to promote to a Demon, setting it up was quite easy!"

Seeing that the Demon Soldier before him had guessed his purpose, Chu Feng naturally couldn’t trust another word it said.

"There’s a saying in the Human World, and I’ll share it with you now: ’Sometimes, people who are too clever don’t live long!’"

With a swing of the long blade in his hand, a flash of light glinted. Zeta’s colossal head slowly slid to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body turned to a pile of ashes.

He had no time to register the system notifications in his mind.

CREAK!

The main door of the emergency building was suddenly flung open!

"Chu Feng! It’s so good to see you alive!" Boris, cautiously entering with a team of police officers, immediately saw Chu Feng standing in the center of the lobby.

Chu Feng, however, was too preoccupied to respond to Boris’s enthusiastic greeting and instead asked with furrowed brows, "Boris, where’s your chief?"
