Abyss Summoner

Chapter 554 - 541: Clown

In the night wind, Chen Feng softly spoke these words, silky and echoing, merging into the wind, yet adding a touch of coldness to the night breeze.

A life for a life.

I killed your man, then you should kill my pet.

Everyone around shivered.

Even Chen Ligang, not far away, couldn’t help but tremble slightly, his gaze lingering on Chen Feng.

It’s worth noting, the Void Ghost isn’t a minor character, but a mighty Golden Tier warrior. Yet, in front of that man, it was like a piece of discarded mud, unable to gain any attention.

Chen Ligang was a bit bewildered; since when did Golden Tier warriors become so lowly?

"Who are you? What do you mean exactly? Is Li Hongyi really killed by you?" Shi Xiong asked these three questions, the world turned cold and silent, everyone was speechless. Indeed, any strong person, toyed with for so long, would feel immense anger.

The cold wind around grew stronger, as hysterical as Shi Xiong’s mood, yearning to discover the source of everything.

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Just now you were eager for revenge, but now, you ask so many questions. Do you truly want to know the cause of Li Hongyi’s death, or are you perhaps... afraid of my pet?"

Chen Feng’s voice was serene, without a hint of pressure, killing intent, or malice, and no negative emotions like anger, as calmly as two old friends conversing, with a patient undertone in his voice.

Yet the more it was like this, the more Shi Xiong’s flames surged; such words to his ears were blatant insults.

Despite knowing it’s merely provocation, ignoring it, how could he command respect?

Shi Xiong roared furiously within, eyes like copper bells filled with blood, hot white smoke emanated from his nostrils. Resolutely, with a swift move, he reached out his hands to strike the Void Ghost’s head. Seeing the skilled motion and powerful outburst, capturing it would surely deal severe damage to the Void Ghost.

By then, the Void Ghost had already stood up from the ground, devoted to Chen Feng. During this time, it had no choice whatsoever.

In this special situation, the Void Ghost also punched, blood-red eyes devoid of emotion, apart from killing intent.

Charging halfway, Shi Xiong’s eyes focused firmly like an eagle, glaring at the sinister and ugly Void Ghost, he menaced:

"You’re but a lowly pet. How could you possibly be my opponent... undeniably strong, but please, go die now!"

The moment his words ended, Shi Xiong’s hands revealed flames transforming into heavy hammers, each as enormous as Exorcism Stone Lions, flames sprouting sharp spikes, even vibrating with rings of red lightning, overwhelmingly majestic.

Moments ago, Shi Xiong’s aura relied on the Flame Golden Dragon, like scorching sunlight, Ghost God dared not approach.

But now, it gave a sense of a being that commands life and death, this irresistible feeling doesn’t originate from strength but from deep within the soul.

No one could imagine Shi Xiong’s close-combat capability to be so terrifying, evidently, in the past, he kept a hidden ace, but in this life-or-death moment and extreme anger, he dismissed all else, unleashing his power entirely, all to kill the Void Ghost ahead!

Shi Xiong said nothing, the roaring of the twin hammers drowned out the thunderous rumbles, then he charged, the iron physique crushing like a tank, bursting with brute strength, transforming into a towering giant, desolating the heavens.

Outside, many spectators twitched their eyelids wildly, living here so long they knew Shi Xiong’s fearsome nature, but such frenzy and rampage they witnessed for the first time today.

The Void Ghost wouldn’t take it lying down either, streams of dark blood erupted from its body, blasting into countless black lines, followed by relentless explosions, centered around the Void Ghost, the surroundings shattered, trees snapped, countless trees, large stones rolled upward, crashing towards Shi Xiong.

This move by the Void Ghost could shatter an iron man!

But compared to the Void Ghost, Shi Xiong’s wisdom undeniably prevailed. Facing this move, an instant glimmer flickered in his eyes, hands moved like nimble snakes, rapidly reaching out. He didn’t meet the attack but swiftly clutched the Void Ghost’s neck.

One clutch, one fling.

The Void Ghost, hoping to seriously injure the opponent, was clueless about what transpired, hurled tens of meters away by Shi Xiong’s skillful force, heavily crashing to the ground.

Though the Void Ghost isn’t an Undead Creature, it has formidable vitality; its flesh destroyed, stimulating its inner ferocity, ordinary creatures stood no chance against it, yet Shi Xiong now unleashed all his strength, defeating it effortlessly, shocking everyone.

Even within the Golden Tier, there are ranks.

In literature, there’s no first; in martial arts, there’s no second.

This is the nature of the universe—in moments of self-assurance, who would ponder, beyond skies, beyond people?

In past times, Shi Xiong mainly inflicted burns, perceived as a Caster, yet who would think beneath the flames, Shi Xiong possessed such terrifying close-combat capabilities, if not the Void Ghost, any foe would likely be startled.

"Die!"

Shi Xiong roared, muscles bulging, blood boiling, flames fiercely burning across his body. Then he leaped high like a fiery avian descending, at great speed, ruthlessly crashing onto the Void Ghost’s chest, not only spilling blood but also deeply denting the land within a ten-meter radius...

It didn’t end there.

The flame on Shi Xiong’s arm roared again, the stone lion’s form expanded again, under the flames’ glow, reaching an extreme horror level. The next moment, it struck fiercely at the Void Ghost’s head.

The Void Ghost attempted defense, but under such assault, it resembled a child, utterly defenseless, mouth spewing blood mixed with internal fragments, immediately followed by its body beginning to crumble, trying to counter but the head burst completely, leaving behind a bloody mess.

No way.

The Void Ghost possessed strength yet low intelligence, under Shi Xiong’s suppressive attacks, unable to resist, instantly becoming a corpse.

Dead.

The villain that crushed Wang Duan was slain by Shi Xiong, and as its master, Chen Feng, true to his earlier words, showed no intention to rescue.

Instead, at this moment, upon witnessing his pet’s death, there appeared a hint of a smile on the man’s face, then he began to gently clap.

As if the fallen wasn’t a loyal Golden Tier servant, but simply a disposable ant.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Continuous clapping resonated from Chen Feng’s hands, Shi Xiong lifted his head to gaze at him, strangely, on that clearly friendly face, he felt unprecedented mockery and disdain.

Though he didn’t wish to admit, perhaps...

From start to finish, Shi Xiong seemed like a clown, desperately pleasing the other.

Shi Xiong stood silent at his place.

He won.

But he... lacked the slightest joy of a victor!
