Chapter 554: Sealing the Forbidden Power!
"This... isn't good!"
Jin Zhulong's eyes twitched wildly as he saw Niu Bi's sacred artifact, the large sword, about to strike down on Prince Long Fei's head. At his current distance, it was too late to rescue him.
Moreover, even if he intervened, his strength was no match for Niu Bi.
"Hahaha, so what if you're a Chaotic Beast? A Chaotic Beast still has to die! Give me back my son's life!"
Niu Bi's eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage. He summoned all his demonic essence, raised the Singularity Sword high, and slashed down.
However, at that moment, a massive golden handprint suddenly appeared in the void, pressing down on Niu Bi's head.
"No!"
Niu Bi's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and his enormous body was forcibly pressed into the ground by the golden handprint.
The power of this handprint was terrifyingly immense.
Under the force of the golden handprint, Niu Bi's body shrank back to a height of three zhang. He was covered in blood and trembling uncontrollably.
His shrunken body escaped from the massive hole of the handprint. He cast a wary glance at the void and without a second thought of taking Ling Feng's life, he turned and fled in the opposite direction.
He was truly terrified, never imagining that the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan hid such a formidable expert that possessed power at the demon ruler level or even higher.
He had no courage left to fight and could only run like a mad bull, desperately fleeing.
Seeing their chief flee, the Minotaur Clan warriors didn't dare linger either, quickly following Niu Bi in retreat.
The owner of the golden handprint seemed uninterested in killing Niu Bi. The golden light condensed into a middle-aged man radiating golden brilliance.
It was none other than Kong, the ancestor of the Demonic Jiao clan, whom Ling Feng had encountered in the Ancient Cave of Time.
"Just learning and comprehending Chaotic Rebirth and already standing up to a half-step demon emperor, impressive!"
Kong squinted his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing through them as he looked at the critically injured Ling Feng. Ling Feng's body was rapidly shrinking, his clothes in tatters, but a thin layer of soft armor still covered his vital parts.
"Ugh..."
Ling Feng groaned softly while attempting to lift his hand. The aftereffects of Chaotic Rebirth were severe, leaving him without the strength to even lift his arm.
Hearing Ling Feng stir, Xiaomeng, who had been resting by the bedside, woke up instantly. Seeing Ling Feng awake, she became excited. "Prince Long Fei, you're finally awake!"
"Xiaomeng?"
Ling Feng was momentarily confused. Why is this female demon in my room?
He didn’t know that it wasn’t Xiaomeng who had appeared in his room, but rather him in her room. After the cataclysmic battle, the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan's settlement was almost completely destroyed. The only relatively intact cave was the one Xiaomeng had been living in.
Naturally, this intact residence was reserved for the great benefactor of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan.
As for Xiaomeng, she was left to look after Ling Feng.
"Mm-hmm. Prince Long Fei, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive back then and said those things. I... I didn't mean it."
Ling Feng smiled weakly. His face was pale, making his smile look worse than when he cried. "I've already forgotten whatever you said."
Xiaomeng's spirited eyes welled up with tears as she said, "Prince Long Fei, you're not a bad person. You're a great hero..."
Ling Feng felt both amused and exasperated as he struggled to say, "Xiaomeng, if you keep shaking me, this great hero will fall apart."
Xiaomeng quickly released Ling Feng, looking like a child who had done something wrong, and timidly said, "Sorry, Prince Long Fei, I didn't mean it."
"Just kidding." Ling Feng waved his hand lightly and asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
"For three full days and nights," Xiaomeng said with certainty.
She had been guarding Ling Feng's bedside for three days. Only a moment ago had she dozed off from exhaustion.
"Thank goodness, I still can make it to the Ancestral Soul Awakening Ceremony," Ling Feng sighed in relief. If he had missed this, he might really have no chance of sneaking into the demon race's sacred land.
Even if he used that forbidden power again and transformed into a Chaotic Beast, at best he could only contend with a peak demon king.
In Heavenly Demon City, there were demon emperors and demon rulers. Trying to force his way into the demon race's sacred land with brute force was nothing but a fool's dream.
