Ye Feng's Rebellion?

The demon spirit laughed with wild abandon!! "Jiejiejie! Yes, yes, yes, exactly so!! Exactly so!!" "Follow my Master, and he can give you all of this!!" Whoosh! Li Guanqi halted hundreds of zhang away. Even the heavily injured Cao Yan and Xiao Chen wore expressions of disbelief. In their eyes, Ye Feng was the person who admired Li Guanqi most of all. Admiration, trust... It was a conviction even deeper than his belief in himself. Yet now, Ye Feng was saying he despised Li Guanqi? Enraged to the core, Cao Yan, whose face was a mangled mess of rotting flesh, unleashed a devastating punch whose astral gale hurled Ye Feng back over a thousand zhang!!! "Shut your mouth!! Do you even know what you're saying?!" Cao Yan's robes were corroded to tatters, more than half of his body stripped of flesh and blood, his appearance ghastly to behold. He glared at Ye Feng, his eyes brimming with heartache. He had followed the two of them the longest and knew better than anyone the depth of their bond. For such words to come from Ye Feng's mouth now—Cao Yan refused to accept it!! Yet Ye Feng appeared completely lucid, his eyes flat and devoid of ripples, as if every word he spoke came straight from his heart. Li Guanqi remained motionless where he stood, and everyone stopped what they were doing. By now, the ghost hand had crept up to Ye Feng's chest. Amid churning demonic qi, half of a ghostly face curled its lips in a mocking smirk as it regarded the crowd. It seemed thoroughly pleased with the current Ye Feng. Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, the veins at his temples throbbing as he glared furiously at Ye Feng. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined Ye Feng would utter such things. Pengluo leaped out and began cursing vehemently, "Ye Feng, you ungrateful wretch! If not for Master, how could you have grown so powerful so fast?!" "All those resources fed to a dog! You treacherous, ungrateful bastard!!" Ye Feng sneered, "If I hadn't raided the execution ground back then, he would've died long ago." Hearing this, Pengluo flew into a rage, pointing at Ye Feng to unleash another tirade, only to be cut off by Li Guanqi's sharp shout. Li Guanqi clamped a hand over Pengluo's mouth and murmured softly, "Be quiet." Pengluo's face was flushed with anger. "He's already turned into this, and you're still defending him?!" "He's an ungrateful wolf! A white-eyed wolf!!" Boom!! Lightning erupted! Li Guanqi glared with fiery eyes and roared, "Enough!!!" Pengluo froze, mouth slightly ajar, falling silent. Meng Wanshu looked at Li Guanqi with an aching heart, unable to fathom how much agony he must be feeling inside. Li Guanqi took a deep breath, his gaze heavy and solemn as he looked toward Ye Feng. "And then?" The moment the words left his mouth, a manic expression abruptly overtook Ye Feng's face!! He opened his mind completely, as if fully accepting the demon spirit to share his body, and went so far as to take the initiative to form an equal pact with it!! Boom!!!! Ye Feng's aura began to skyrocket with terrifying speed!! In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the late Body Integration Realm!! "Jiejiejie!! Yes, that's it!!" "Embrace me!! Become me!! Surpass me!!" "Together, you and I will stand atop the pinnacle of all living beings, flanking our Master as we shatter the firmament and ascend to the Ninth Heaven!!" "It makes no difference without him. Our Master will aid you." Demonic qi billowed. The face manifested by the demon spirit seemed aged, and it spoke in rapturous frenzy. Ye Feng's eyes turned entirely blood-red. Then, the demonic qi covering half his face gradually receded back into his arm. Ye Feng stood where he was, arms spread in rapt enjoyment, completely ignoring the severely injured Cao Yan and Xiao Chen. A tinge of crimson dyed his gaze as his eyes swept almost imperceptibly past Cao Yan and Xiao Chen. Meng Wanshu narrowed her beautiful eyes, murderous intent surging in her gaze as she looked at Ye Feng!! Her sharp shout suddenly rang out!! "Kill him!! Rather than let him become an enemy, I would rather see him buried right here!!" As her words fell, only Pengluo surged forward. Cao Yan did not move an inch. Tears welled in his eyes as he stared at Ye Feng with dull despair. His trembling lips quivered, murmuring, "Second Brother... why..." Xiao Chen clenched his teeth, unable to bring himself to take that step and attack Ye Feng. Li Guanqi stood rooted to the spot, his eyelids twitching as he closed his eyes in evident torment. Tears traced down the corners of his eyes, and he whispered softly, "You fool..." "What virtue do I, Li Guanqi, possess to make you go to such lengths for my sake?" From the very beginning, Li Guanqi had never believed that Ye Feng's words were true—not a single syllable. Rumbles echoed from all directions as Ye Feng swung his sword, attacking Meng Wanshu with full force. Within a few breaths, numerous wounds were added to her body. Suddenly!!! Countless rifts tore through the void, and dense demonic qi gushed forth from the fissures!! As if guided by an unseen hand, this demonic qi surged straight toward Cao Yan and the others!! Cao Yan's eyes narrowed, but a tremendous force struck him from behind—Xiao Chen had kicked him out of the way. Boom!! The torrent of demonic qi engulfed Xiao Chen entirely. Sizzling sounds rang out as the demonic energy corroded Xiao Chen's physical body and soul!! Enraged, Li Guanqi glared into the distance and shot forward like a bolt of lightning!! Meanwhile, the demonic qi gripped Xiao Chen like a giant hand, dragging him away at high speed. Li Guanqi raised his hand and slashed repeatedly!! Terrifying lightning sword beams burst forth, severing the torrent of demonic qi in several strikes and sending Xiao Chen's body flying free. Before Li Guanqi could draw close, endless demonic qi welled up once more, attacking everyone in the vicinity indiscriminately!! The sheer power of this grim demonic qi rivaled the late Body Integration Realm, making it difficult even for Li Guanqi to contend with. His left hand blurred into afterimages, unleashing the Lethality of the Red Lotus sword to the utmost, yet he still could not completely hold back the demonic energy!! "Third Brother! Fourth Brother!!" Hum!!! A terrifying devouring force swept out, and the demonic qi around Li Guanqi began to dissipate. The demonic qi clinging to the severely corroded bodies of Cao Yan and Xiao Chen also gradually faded away. Everyone looked up, only to find that Ye Feng was devouring all the demonic qi clean!! The demon spirit frowned and spoke, "What are you doing? That demonic qi was sent by our Master to control them!!" "If you swallow it, how can they be controlled?" Pfft!!! Ye Feng suddenly reached out and crushed the demon spirit's head, which burst apart with a bang. Thin strands of black demonic qi wriggled in the whites of his eyes like worms. Ye Feng's expression was frosty as he said coldly, "I want power!!" "Do I need you screaming at me over what I do?" The demon spirit reformed its head and fell silent. It realized that at this moment, Ye Feng... resembled a demon even more than it did!! The crowd fought across different quarters. Though a flicker of reluctance passed through Meng Wanshu's eyes, she absolutely refused to let Ye Feng become Li Guanqi's enemy! By now, only a scattered few Abyss Demons and assassins from the Sha organization remained on the battlefield. More and more people gathered around, and looking at the invincible Ye Feng in the distance, more and more cultivators joined the fray. Only Li Guanqi and his two brothers, along with Gu Li, stood motionless where they were. Suddenly!! A thunderous roar abruptly shook the world!!!
