Chapter 781: An Unprecedented Feat (Second update, requesting all)

Phoenix Wing Heaven Soar!

The Crown Sunlight Luan's body was wreathed in red and white flames, transforming into a fire-bathed phoenix; propelled by the flames, its speed surged instantly, not a whit slower than the current Assassin Demon.

"Not good!"

The Assassin Demon's expression changed drastically. It wanted to dodge, but it was a futile effort. At this moment, the Crown Sunlight Luan's speed was in no way inferior to its own, and coupled with the fact that the Crown Sunlight Luan was already massive in size, now enveloped in a vast amount of raging flames, its volume had arguably surged several times over, covering nearly a hundred-meter radius.

Under these circumstances, the Assassin Demon only had time to cast a Darkness shield upon itself before being struck head-on by the Crown Sunlight Luan.

Boom—

The instant the two made contact, countless red and white flames erupted wildly, sweeping madly toward the surroundings and instantly turning into a rising sea of fire, from which came the Assassin Demon's shrill, miserable screams.

However, a centipede dies but never stiffens; the Assassin Demon did not die. Even the hastily condensed Darkness shield still defended it against a portion of the damage, not to mention that as a Demon Commander comparable to a Saint Grade Spirit Pet, it possessed an ability similar to Essence Origin Protection, which could exempt it from the majority of damage from a Demon Beast.

Even so, the Assassin Demon was still in a very bad state. Due to the Crown Sunlight Luan having comprehended the Undying Essence, the flames continued to burn incessantly, showing almost no sign of stopping, bringing secondary damage to the Assassin Demon.

The Assassin Demon could feel its body growing increasingly weak, and its skin was like charred coal, emitting a burnt smell.

Seeing that it was about to fall into a near-death state, the Assassin Demon had to endure the pain and, ignoring the Crown Sunlight Luan, thought only of escaping this sea of fire as quickly as possible.

Burning Body Explosion!

Yet, the moment the Assassin Demon began to move, rich flames appeared once again on the Crown Sunlight Luan's body, and it charged toward the Assassin Demon, which was within arm's reach, once more.

"Again!"

The Assassin Demon turned its head; its pupils instantly contracted to the size of needle points, its eyes filled with fear.

It had lived for several hundred years and was considered a big shot with a reputation in the Abyss. With its lifespan, it could still enjoy several hundred more years, and having not enjoyed enough yet, it was naturally more afraid of death than ordinary demons.

This time, because the distance was too close, the Assassin Demon had no time to condense a Darkness shield before being struck by the Crown Sunlight Luan again.

The moment of impact, the Crown Sunlight Luan's flesh flashed wildly with deep red light, exploding along with the flames.

Compared to Phoenix Wing Heaven Soar, the power of Burning Body Explosion was even greater, because the Crown Sunlight Luan detonated its own flesh along with the flames to inflict extreme damage upon the enemy.

Rumble—

A violent roaring sound rang out, and countless flames swept wildly toward the surroundings again, covering a full several hundred-meter radius; it looked just like a giant firework!

Li Zhangsheng had long been prepared to recall the Crown Sunlight Luan, so the instant after the Burning Body Explosion, a red light rushed out from the sea of fire, instantly submerged into Li Zhangsheng's Yintang acupoint, and vanished.

"Success!"

After recalling the Crown Sunlight Luan, which had entered a state of Nirvana, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power swept across the entire scene frantically. Upon confirming that the Assassin Demon's aura had vanished, he could not help but reveal an excited smile on his face.

Before the flames had even extinguished, the nervous Wu Zetao flew over here with Zhao Rui. They had hastily resolved the Large Demon Barracks, but because it was too rushed, they had to let some demons go, including several Great Demons.

As for the last Sixth Rank contestant from the Shayi Kingdom, perhaps thinking that Li Zhangsheng and the others were also no match for the Demon Commander, he did not rendezvous with Wu Zetao and it was unknown where he had run off to.

The first moment he saw Li Zhangsheng, Wu Zetao asked nervously, "Brother Li, where is the Demon Commander?"

Wu Zetao's body was tense, holding a petite Demon Beast in his arms, while the remaining three Demon Beasts surrounded him tightly.

Zhao Rui was equally full of nervousness; he was still lingering in fear even now. If not for Li Zhangsheng's timely rescue, he would have almost died at the hands of the Assassin Demon.

"There, right there. It should be dead!"

Li Zhangsheng shrugged, his gaze never leaving the still-burning sea of fire.

"What, dead!"

Upon hearing Li Zhangsheng's reply, Wu Zetao thought he had misheard. He subconsciously looked at Zhao Rui and saw that Zhao Rui was also looking at him. The two stared at each other, confirming from each other's eyes that they had not misheard.

"No way!"

Wu Zetao was full of disbelief. A Demon Commander capable of contending with a King had actually died at Li Zhangsheng's hands. This was too unbelievable; after all, Li Zhangsheng was merely a Pseudo-King.

Zhao Rui was likewise in a state of extreme shock. He had lived this long and had never heard of a Pseudo-King independently slaying a Demon Commander; let alone slaying one, there hadn't even been one that could fight to a draw.

If Li Zhangsheng had truly independently slain the Demon Commander, that could truly be called an unprecedented feat and would definitely be recorded in history.

It was also at this time, after burning for more than half a minute, that the sea of fire finally slowly extinguished, revealing a large expanse of charred land.

"I still need to check before saying anything."

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng led the remaining few Demon Beasts and flew over. Before confirming the Assassin Demon's death, he dared not let his guard down.

Ning Bizhen, Wu Zetao, and Zhao Rui followed Li Zhangsheng closely, their spirit pets also full of vigilance.

On this charred land, the most conspicuous thing was a large pit a hundred meters in diameter and several tens of meters deep; this was the result of the Crown Sunlight Luan's continuous bombardment.

In the center of the pit, there was a small mass of charred matter. Based on his special ability, Li Zhangsheng could sense that the charred object was emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.

Unlike ordinary energy fluctuations, this energy fluctuation was filled with auras of evil, destruction, and desire; this was naturally the Demon Commander-level Assassin Demon.

Observing carefully, one would find that the intensity of this energy fluctuation was rapidly declining.

Out of caution, Li Zhangsheng still let Kailan conduct a probe, with the other spirit pets standing by.

Kailan held a Dark Green Light Blade. Under her control, the Dark Green Light Blade rapidly extended, turning into a forty-meter-long energy saber in the blink of an eye. A whistling sound of breaking air rang out as she slashed toward the neck area of what was suspected to be the Assassin Demon.

Ssh—

A sound like scissors cutting through tattered cloth rang out, and the head on the Assassin Demon's neck flew high into the air. Its severed neck sprayed green, foul-smelling blood wildly like a fountain.

After a Demon Commander dies, its physical strength naturally drops by more than a notch.

Upon confirming that the Assassin Demon was dead beyond any doubt, all four people present breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhangsheng stepped forward impatiently and, with extreme proficiency, extracted a Demon Heart the size of an adult's fist from the Assassin Demon's corpse.

A Demon Commander's heart is different from a Great Demon's heart; it feels like a crystal, but it is the source of a Demon Commander's power.

With this heart, Li Zhangsheng could produce the corresponding Dissolving Agent to dissolve the Four-Clawed White Dragon Bloodline Imprint within the Phoenix Essence Blood.
