Chapter 230: Ultimate Demon King Form

Chapter 230: Ultimate Demon King FormTan Zhenwei had been too busy over the past week to entertain the young members of the Saint families who had come from outside the city. As a result, Tan Qingying had been forced to step in and handle the situation.

The two people she had been entertaining were the young man in front of her, Gu Langtian from the Gu family, and Bai Zi from the Bai family. It was just a typical social interaction between the younger generation of prominent families. They were mainly dining out and strolling around town.

But it was enough for Tan Qingying to gain some insight into these two representatives of the new generation from the Saint families. Gu Langtian was arrogant and domineering, while Bai Zi was a gentle and refined scholar.

Bai Zi’s demeanor was far more approachable and mild compared to Gu Langtian’s overt ruthlessness and defiance. Now, at this critical moment, the appearance of this Bai family scholar finally gave her situation a glimmer of hope.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Langtian’s eyes narrowed as his gaze turned dark and menacing.

In truth, he wasn’t just a lust-driven scoundrel. When everything was going smoothly, Gu Langtian didn’t mind indulging in a bit of pleasure early on; it would make his success all the more memorable. But when a plan began to falter, he would instantly regain his clarity.

Bai Zi smiled lightly. "Just passing by."

"You just happened to be passing by in this blizzard?" Gu Langtian sneered. "Come on, tell me, what’s your real purpose?"

Gu Langtian’s tone was aggressive, and his mind was already racing down every possible reason for Bai Zi’s presence here, as well as the implications behind those reasons.

No matter how much of a useless scholar Bai Zi might seem like on the surface, the Bai family was still a Saint family. Bai Zi's words and actions could represent the will of the Bai family. And anyone who underestimated the will of a Saint family would pay a heavy price.

Gu Langtian might look down on the seemingly insignificant Bai Zi, but he would never underestimate the Bai family.

Bai Zi was still smiling as he said, "The northern wind blows the snow, and it passes through Dragon Mountain across a thousand miles... I rarely see snow like this in the south, so I came out to enjoy the snowy scenery. But as I wandered, captivated by the earthly warmth and charm, I unknowingly ended up here... But Brother Gu, what brings you to this place?"

Gu Langtian's eyes flickered with uncertainty. "That’s none of your business... If you have nothing else to say, then leave. Don’t get in the way of my date with Qingying."

As he spoke, he turned to Tan Qingying and said, "It’s a bit noisy here. Let’s go."

But Tan Qingying didn’t move.

Gu Langtian’s tone shifted to a subtle threat as he said, "Don’t forget what I just told you."

“What did you just say?” A voice from nearby asked. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I already told you, if you have nothing to say, then get lost... huh?" Gu Langtian was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the voice didn’t belong to Bai Zi.

He turned to look. There, standing in the doorway, was a young man covered in snow and stained with blood, who had somehow arrived without anyone noticing. He brought a chilling cold with him as he strode forward.

The swirling snow in the dark night seemed to create a small world of its own around the narrow doorway. But the young man was crossing that world. It was none other than Li Xiaofei, who had rushed here with all his might.

Though he was thirty-five minutes late, he had still made it in time. Tan Qingying's eyes widened in surprise. Li Xiaofei walked straight to her side without a word and gently took her hand. There were no unnecessary words. In that instant, their two young hearts were bound tightly together.

"If I’m not mistaken, you were threatening her," Li Xiaofei said, his gaze locked on Gu Langtian. His eyes were fierce.

Gu Langtian was momentarily taken aback, but then he began to laugh.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

This so-called genius of the new generation from the Gu family, looked at the young man standing before him, shoulders covered in snow, as if he were witnessing a stray dog from the mud daring to challenge a mighty dragon. He found it amusing. He found it absurd.

"Kid, so what if I threatened her?" Gu Langtian sneered arrogantly, "You like her? Then let me tell you, just a moment before you arrived, I not only threatened her, but I nearly stripped her right here. So what? Do you think you're some kind of hero?"

Li Xiaofei took a deep breath. He turned to look at Tan Qingying.

The young lady smiled and said, "Don’t bother with this mad dog. Let’s just leave."

Li Xiaofei shook his head. He glanced at the old man behind the counter, who looked alarmed. "Uncle Chen, business isn’t doing well tonight. Why don’t you close up and take a break? You’ve worked hard all your life; it’s time to rest."

"Oh, alright..." Uncle Chen hesitated but eventually agreed.

Li Xiaofei turned to look at Bai Zi.

He asked, "Who is he?"

Tan Qingying replied, "A friend, I suppose."

Li Xiaofei nodded, then asked Bai Zi, "Are you afraid of blood?"

Bai Zi was caught off guard by the question.

"If you're afraid of blood, turn around and don't watch," Li Xiaofei warned as he stepped forward.

He began to release his strength. The sensation of unleashing every ounce of energy within his body without restraint was intoxicating. A thick, blood-red mist erupted from every pore of his body, surging in all directions like a vast ocean from the depths of the underworld. The terrifying power radiated from him without reservation.

The tables and chairs within the small shop were instantly crushed under the pressure of the invisible force. Li Xiaofei's clothes tore apart with a ripping sound again, unable to contain the growing strength within him.

His figure continued to rise in the midst of the dense blood mist, growing taller and more muscular. This was his third and final transformation: the Ultimate Demon King Form!

Ancient dark-gold patterns etched themselves across the surface of his iron-like skin. Even the hair standing on end resembled peerless swords. He took a single step forward.

Boom!

The entire shop trembled violently. The scene unfolding was nothing short of terrifying, as if the young man who had braved the storm to get here had awakened a demon lying dormant within him.

Before anyone could react, the thick blood mist spread out, engulfing Gu Langtian, whose face had been frozen in shock.

In the next moment, a furious cry erupted from within the mist. There was the faint sound of bones cracking. Then, the disturbance quickly subsided. The demon from the depths of hell had completed its hunt.

When the crimson mist gradually dissipated, Tan Qingying and Bai Zi’s eyes widened in horror. They finally saw the colossal figure that resembled a demon awakened from slumber, standing before the spot where Gu Langtian had been.

Li Xiaofei's massive hands were gripping the sides of Gu Langtian's head. The head of the once-proud and arrogant Gu family genius had been brutally obliterated by those giant hands. White and red fluid seeped from between the fingers of the giant's hands.

As Li Xiaofei slowly loosened his grip, Gu Langtian's headless body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud. A wave of dizziness washed over Bai Zi.

Gu Langtian was dead! The Gu family’s appointed leader in Liuhe Base City was dead. But his death wasn’t the result of a power struggle between mighty factions. Instead, he had been brutally killed by a high school student from a small town, his head crushed like a mere insect.

It was as if a high and mighty emperor had been dragged into the gutter by a beggar and beaten to death with a single blow. No matter how advanced a light core’s simulations were, it couldn’t predict such a bizarre and absurd turn of events.

Bai Zi stared at the figure before him, a youth who now resembled a demonic god. For once, the well-read scholar found himself at a loss for words.

At the same moment, the two women standing at the entrance of the shop were frozen in place by what they had just witnessed.
