Chapter 1743

Two demons were thinking seriously, but seemed unable to make up their minds for a while.

Xiao Feng didn't urge them, saying: "I'll leave in about three days; if you have any ideas, meet me in Flame City then. If the time comes and you don't show up, I'll assume you've given up."

Ascension is something that still can't be forced; although he wanted to find a few friends for Mi Nie Ya so they'd have more people to talk to when returning to the Yuan Su Shen Yu, he couldn't insist, and certainly couldn't forcibly abduct Mi He Er to the Shen Jie.

After saying that, Xiao Feng left.

He didn't act in the Dark City, nor in the Bloody City; his current thoughts have changed a lot since he first came to the Abyss.

But it's fine; there's still the Purgatory City, after all!

He turned into a swift wind, and after a while flew several thousand kilometers to a place covered in lava.

This is the territory of the Purgatory Demon God, once the weakest of the three great demon gods of the Abyss.

The Purgatory Demon God has intermediate god strength, the lowest rank among the three great demon gods, and his forces are also the weakest, lacking notable subordinates or abilities. It's said his true demon form is a highly skilled divine artificer in forging, which is barely a notable trait.

This guy is the most active of the three powers in the Abyss; back when Xiao Feng retreated, his teammate Old Li and others once attacked the Purgatory City, nearly overturning his lair.

Later Old Li and the others also ascended; when Xiao Feng returned once, he heard that his little junior disciple wanted to take a summer vacation and nearly overturned the Purgatory City!

Moreover, during that period it wasn't just his known friends; many people he didn't know also repeatedly challenged the Purgatory Demon God!

It's no small feat that the Purgatory Demon God has survived to this day. The demon folk of Purgatory City followed him, suffering much, and once nearly got overrun by the player army.

Over these years, as player numbers dwindled, things have gradually warmed up and stabilized.

Xiao Feng arrived above Purgatory City, without deliberately concealing his aura.

Many powerful demons noticed him.

Purgatory City is no longer what it was; over a decade of respite, it gradually built up defenses and garrisons, with dozens of Sacred Realm demon commanders and several demigod demon commanders taking turns on guard, performing high-intensity defensive duties.

According to the Purgatory Demon God's orders, if any human adventurer nearby has strength below demigod level, they are to be killed outright without reporting.

If one fears the adventurer is too strong to beat alone, they can also gang up 2-on-1, 3-on-1, or even swarm the opponent; there's no shame in that, as long as they win!

If a demigod-level adventurer appears, the plan is to defend and buy time while reporting to the demon god.

Naturally, killing the opponent outright is best; just finish them off.

If they can't be killed and the opponent is extremely strong, then retreat!

If a god-level powerhouse attacks, there's no need for talk—just flee with the whole family. After all, any god-level human appearing here is either an envoy from the upper realms or a freak who can freely move between the divine realms; neither is something the Purgatory Demon God can handle.

At that moment, the demigod-level demon commander on duty saw that Xiao Feng was only a Grand Magus realm cultivator, and wasn't particularly panicked.

But he also seriously ordered his subordinates to report to the Demon Lord in the rear.

At the same time he drew his weapon, a wolf-tooth club, and shouted lowly, "Human, die!" then charged straight at Xiao Feng.

—If you can beat them, just kill them outright; that's what the Demon God said! He's strictly carrying out the order!

"Yo ho, so eager?" Xiao Feng looked at a burly, black-faced demigod demon commander shouting as he charged, and couldn't help but show a happy expression.

"He had been worrying about not having a reason to act, but didn't expect the opponent to have already arranged everything for him."

Seeing the wolf-tooth club coming down, he stood still and took the hit.

Thud!

That hit hurt a bit, knocking off a full 44 HP!

Factoring in the 99.9% damage reduction from the initial stage of his Innate Dao Body and his own defense, that's already quite impressive!

"Why are you hitting me?" Xiao Feng asked.

"How?"

The black-faced demon commander froze, looking at Xiao Feng unharmed, and exclaimed, "You… you're completely unharmed?"

Xiao Feng shrugged: "Thick skin and tough flesh, can't be helped."

The black-faced demon commander's already dark face instantly grew even darker.

He felt Xiao Feng was humiliating him!

A proud demon demigod, and moreover a Zi Xue Barbarian demon famed for physical strength, his full-power strike couldn't even break the skin, and the opponent was merely a Grand Magus!

This is an utter disgrace!

He let out a low roar: "Demons and humans are mortal enemies; I not only want to hit you, I want to kill you!"

Then he continued his fierce assault, completely forgetting to consider how unreasonable it is that a Grand Magus he can't budge.

"You should run." Xiao Feng kindly reminded him.

The black-faced demon commander roared: "Screw running, die!"

Whoosh~

The wolf-tooth club came breaking the wind, another strike.

Xiao Feng still didn't dodge.

Clang~

The sound of metal clashing rang out; his seemingly ordinary skin had a thickness that even divine punishment couldn't pierce.

The demon commander froze instantly.

He swung the wolf-tooth club, clanging repeatedly, striking hard several times; Xiao Feng didn't move at all, and the HP loss hadn't even been offset by auto-heal.

"How… how is this possible!" the demon commander was utterly shocked, finally realizing he'd run into an iron plate.

Xiao Feng said regretfully: "Just a bit more and you'd have broken through; do better next life, thanks for the experience."

Then he raised his finger, condensing a purple-gray needle.

Whoosh~

Pfft!

The Source Needle pierced the demon commander's chest; a long string of damage numbers drifted up, killing him instantly.

【You defeated Demon Commander Katánpī'ěr, gaining 4.98 billion experience!】

【Congratulations, your level……】

【Congratulations, your level……】

【Congratulations, your level has risen to level 208!】

【You have gained new potential points, please allocate them promptly!】

【War zone announcement: Player "Xiao Feng" is unmatched in valor, slaying the level 270 Abyss Demon Commander "Ka Tan Pi Er"!】

A series of system sounds rang in my ears; not only did my level rise many times, but I even made the announcement!

Players of Zhu Shen Da Lu who hadn't heard a war zone announcement in over half a year couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

"What's going on?"

"These days, does anyone still go to the Abyss to farm demon commanders?"

"Are you stupid? Divine artifacts cost so little each; why bother grinding monsters?"

"Xiao Feng... is that Xiao Feng?"

"Which Xiao Feng is this? In our Zhu Shen Da Lu, there should still be 17 Xiao Fengs, right?"

At the same time, several figures also flew out of Purgatory City.

"Ka Tan Pi Er, a mere Grand Magus doesn't need to notify us, does he?"

"Wait, what's going on now?"

"Ka Tan Pi Er! No! My brother!!"

"Damn it, he's clearly a Holy Realm Mage, he's pretending to be weak to eat the strong!"

"No, sir, he is a Grand Magus, but after just slaying the Demon Commander, he suddenly leveled up and entered the Holy Realm!"

Several newly arrived Demon Commanders and the subordinates of the black-faced Demon Commander Ka Tan Pi Er were chatting.

Xiao Feng glanced at their numbers and levels, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
