Chapter 854 - 653: Going Separate Ways
Under the Nightmare’s gaze, Taoist Baimei appeared calm, but inwardly he felt helpless.
He understood the undertone of Nightmare’s words, but right now he had no choice.
From the moment Lin Feng mastered the "Second Incarnation," there was no turning back for him, life and death were in Lin Feng’s hands.
It could be said that if Lin Feng’s main target wasn’t Nightmare, he would have been obliterated by now.
He was different from Nightmare.
Originally, Nightmare practiced the "Soul Shedding Spirit Formation" for rebirth, and now he had become a demon spirit, which is why Nightmare can be refined by others, devour demon spirits, and absorb soul skills.
At the time, he used another method of reincarnation; compared to the "Soul Shedding Spirit Formation," it was far less dangerous and difficult.
Even if he entered Lin Feng’s Soul Sea, he couldn’t absorb Soul Power, he was just a special soul body.
He couldn’t transform himself into a demon spirit like Nightmare.
Lin Feng’s Pocket World outside the Soul Sea was constantly scorching him and Nightmare, as well as the Dragon Fish.
Nightmare was a demon spirit residing in the Soul Sea, even the high temperature smelting of the Pocket World couldn’t kill him.
But he was different, he was merely a soul body and suffered far more damage than Nightmare.
He wouldn’t last much longer at this rate.
Taoist Baimei knew well that if he couldn’t mitigate the assimilation by Nightmare, if he had no value, Lin Feng would kill him without hesitation.
At this moment, Lin Feng was already uninterested in dealing with him, when he entered the Soul Sea earlier, he didn’t even glance at him.
Even if he said he had a way to mitigate the assimilation by Nightmare, Lin Feng didn’t care.
Lin Feng seemed to be waiting for his performance.
"Yin Kui, you and I are old acquaintances. You know my character, the promises I’ve made absolutely won’t change. As long as I occupy this body, you can remain alive. You don’t need to worry that I’ll fear you, once you didn’t have that qualification, and now even less so, in this unique world, we are not invincible beings, collaboration is required for survival."
Nightmare seemed to sense Taoist Baimei’s hesitation and slowly spoke.
Taoist Baimei glanced at Nightmare and shook his head.
Gong Liancheng appeared young, merely middle-aged, but his true age might be greater than his; for these monsters who’ve lived thousands of years, any promises and vows are mere clouds, meaningless.
Moreover, what good does it do even if you believe?
Taoist Baimei chuckled lightly and said, "In a short time, you cannot possess this body; given my current situation, I simply can’t wait until that time."
After speaking, he slowly raised his right arm, wisps of black mist emanated from his palm, swiftly enveloping his entire hand, eventually becoming chains of black mist, entangling Nightmare.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Nightmare still calmly asked, merely his voice carried a hint of coldness.
Taoist Baimei smiled warmly and said, "Gong Liancheng, don’t blame me, I don’t wish to die either. If I can occupy this body, I can promise you can live."
Nightmare did not struggle or resist; the black chains wrapped around him, seeming to embed in his blood-red body and slowly circulate.
Nightmare could feel a force inside devouring his power, while Lin Feng also immediately noticed that the assimilation seemed to have stopped!
Soon, he understood the reason behind it, a smile appeared on his face.
However, he remained vigilant.
The assimilation had indeed stopped for now, but Taoist Baimei was merely a soul body, there would come a time when his power depleted, and assimilation would continue once more; this only temporarily slowed the assimilation, it could not completely eradicate it.
"Indeed, a despicable character, unless knocked, doesn’t budge."
Lin Feng thought to himself.
Before entering the Soul Sea, Taoist Baimei sworn he would help him tackle Nightmare.
But ever since entering the Soul Sea, Taoist Baimei had turned his back on him, totally ignoring him.
Even when he prevented Nightmare’s assimilation for a while, it was also for his own assimilation.
Lin Feng had no means to drive Taoist Baimei, not even to expel him from the Soul Sea.
Inviting a god is easy, sending one away is hard.
If not for the "Second Incarnation," how tame would Taoist Baimei be? He would wish for both him and Nightmare to fight to the death, even perish together, while he would gain from the situation and occupy this body.
Once Taoist Baimei made a choice, soon the Qi and Blood Power around him suddenly dwindled, the burning sensation that tormented him greatly gradually subsided, becoming bearable.
Taoist Baimei looked at Nightmare.
The Qi and Blood Power didn’t vanish, merely shifted.
At this point, Nightmare not only had to endure the devouring force but also the scorching and smelting of the Qi and Blood Power, even for old ghosts with such steadfast will like them, it was an excruciating agony.
Lin Feng was not only ruthless.
But indeed extremely difficult.
Wanting to possess, wasn’t an easy affair.
Nonetheless, Lin Feng being more difficult, from a certain perspective, was beneficial for him.
...
Since the Avengers Alliance returned to Shangjing, its members have become sought after by various major forces.
Lin Feng’s phone could receive hundreds of calls a day, soon he set it to do not disturb mode, only numbers in his contacts could reach him.
At this moment, the Avengers Alliance already had over ten king-level warriors, so young, gifted kings, and not long ago, achieved the feat of slaying extraordinary powerhouses, no force could overlook them.
The development prospects of the Avengers Alliance are foreseeable, many want to join the Avengers Alliance, every day numerous forces through various channels contact Ye Xing and others.
In a club.
Ye Xing and his group gathered together.
"What did Lin Feng say?" Ye Xing asked.
"Just sent a message, Brother Feng said not coming, told us to gather by ourselves."
Dong Yunan replied.
Currently, Little Sister Dong still sports a bob hairstyle, appearing somewhat naive, like a high school student still studying.
For those unfamiliar, they wouldn’t expect her to be a king-level warrior.
"Isn’t he a bit too reclusive?"
Yang Ningbing said with a tone somewhat complaining.
In the past two months, Lin Feng only met with them twice, he spent the rest of his time at home, almost disconnected from the outside world.
"Brother Feng will be heading to Pure Land soon, cherishing time with family."
He Jun explained for Lin Feng.
Speaking of Pure Land, everyone’s expression slightly turned serious.
Although they had become king-level warriors, facing the organization, they still felt powerless and fearful.
"What are your plans after?"
Yun Tianqi inquired.
Lin Feng is about to go to Pure Land, everyone would also go their separate ways, unable to stay together all the time.
Before this, what to do, where to go, was all decided by Lin Feng, now that Lin Feng is heading to Pure Land, they were somewhat clueless.
"I want to join the Shangjing Combat Department, it’s already arranged."
"I don’t know, somewhat uncertain."
"Freeloading, going home to inherit the family business."
"I’ll continue participating in the King Becoming Plan, there should still be some resources."
"Live well, first let my sister recover her health."
"I just want to accompany my mom and dad and brother."
"I’m planning to become a guardian, first get some experience at the grassroots."
Everyone spoke, having plans of their own.
"Haha."
Listening to Dong Yunan wanting to be a guardian, everyone burst into laughter.
This made Dong Yunan very dissatisfied, frown and pout, "What are you laughing at, having become a king-level warrior, can’t I become a guardian?"
Speaking, she slightly lifted her head and glanced at Yun Kai beside her.
Yun Kai also laughed, rubbed Dong Yunan’s head, unable to link guardian with Little Sister Dong.
"Even your dad hasn’t become a guardian, yet you went ahead." Yu Qiao laughed.
Dong Yunan couldn’t help but laugh too, felt a bit helpless, "There’s no other way then!"
