Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 383 Only Blood Can Stop the Invasion
In a conference room.

"The number of soldiers killed or wounded has exceeded two-thirds, and of the 920 volunteers, more than 100 have been killed or wounded. At this time, more than 2,000 people have arrived at their destination and are waiting for the key to appear."

A soldier stood ramrod straight, reporting the latest battle situation in the chaotic area to Hong Tao and his two companions.

Although the Chaotic Land is sealed off, allowing only entry and no exit, the special soul skills of the demon spirit master still allow them to transmit information about what's inside.

"Where are Lin Feng and the others?" Hong Tao asked.

Without hesitation, the soldier quickly replied, "They haven't appeared at the destination, nor have they approached it. They are still hunting down the aliens on the outskirts!"

Still hunting down Inhumans?

Upon hearing this answer, Hong Tao frowned slightly.

Lin Feng's team's actions were somewhat unusual.

If the previous hunts were intended to instill fear in the Inhuman team, now that the Inhumans have mentally collapsed and have collectively fled, the objective has been achieved, and there is absolutely no need to continue the hunts.

Even if Lin Feng and his group are not injured or killed, the large amount of spiritual and soul power they expend will definitely affect their ability to compete for the key!
Their goal was to seize the key, not to hunt down the Inhumans who were clearly cannon fodder.

Although these extraordinary individuals include advanced demon spirit masters and advanced martial artists, they are neither geniuses nor kings. Even if they all die, the five major powers will not feel sorry for them.

Not only Hong Tao, but Chen Tian and Xie Chun were also puzzled, but they didn't take it too seriously.

Depending on the situation, the key will not appear for another day.

Fewer supernatural beings are better for the key-grabbing battle.

Lin Feng's team has now killed over a thousand superhumans, reducing casualties among their own forces and allowing many teams to reach their destinations smoothly. This gives them an advantage in the key-grabbing battle, and their record is far more impressive than that of other teams.

Compared to this strange behavior, what truly surprised them was the strength of Lin Feng's team.

A group of fourteen people, none of whom were kings, were able to kill so many strange people that they were terrified and fled in panic. Even they found it unbelievable.

Although they knew Lin Feng's team was very strong, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to seal the Jade Seal spatial gate, their combat power still exceeded their expectations.

The soul skills possessed by Lin Feng's team surprised them even more.

Almost all of them possess diamond-level soul skills!

Even they, as emperors, envied Lin Feng's [Substitute] soul skill.

A ninth-tier substitute spirit—this is Lin Feng's reward for sealing the Jade Seal spatial gate, plus his entry into the Chaotic Land this time.

This demon spirit is extremely precious, and absorbing its soul skill is very difficult. They did not expect Lin Feng to dare to absorb it directly and succeed.

This talent is simply monstrous!

"Two god-level soul skills, these young people are amazing."

Chen Tian sighed.

Although he was a Martial Emperor, he did refine demon spirits, but the demon spirits were only at the seventh level. Although they were high-level demon spirits, compared to his martial arts talent, his soul cultivation talent was insignificant, so he focused on martial arts.

"Seven levels in two years? Such rapid growth, could it really be because the dragon fish is so compatible with the 'Fish-Dragon Transformation'?"

Xie Chun asked in confusion.

This demon spirit's growth rate is abnormally fast, and its success rate in absorbing soul skills is also terrifyingly high.

Even she felt inferior because of the level of this combination of soul skills!
"Go down and keep a close eye on news from Lin Feng's team."

Hong Tao said slowly.

Lin Feng's team is no weaker than the team composed of kings, and is the key team in this key battle.

He doesn't want to detonate the medium unless it's the final step.

As for whether Lin Feng is a seven-star demon spirit master, as an extraordinary being, he doesn't care. Even if he is a nine-star demon spirit master, so what?

In his eyes, they were still ants.

"Yes, sir!" The soldier saluted, but did not leave. Instead, he continued his report:
"While hunting down the team of supernatural beings, Lin Feng's team encountered a girl with sand control abilities, who was also protected by four others."

Hong Tao's expression changed slightly. He waved his hand, and after the soldiers left, the atmosphere fell silent.

"No wonder I kept sensing the medium lingering on the outskirts and not getting close to the destination. It turns out it joined Lin Feng's team," Hong Tao said calmly.

Clearly, the girl who controlled the sand was a medium.

"Many people already have suspicions, but the matter hasn't been exposed yet!"

Chen Tian then looked at Hong Tao, his tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

He had opposed the decision from the beginning, but Hong Tao ignored him and acted arbitrarily.

Nobody wants to be a victim.

If this news gets out, it will be a serious blow to morale, and many people will probably give up the fight for the key.

This means that the battle for the key has ended in defeat.

If this gets out, it will cause a huge uproar. Not only Hong Tao, but he and Xie Chun will also face scrutiny and criticism.

Although the emperor is high above and enjoys the respect and offerings of the people, he cannot decide everything.

Even the emperor is not invincible; when faced with a siege by a king, he may also be surrounded and killed!

Furthermore, the Chaotic Lands also contain descendants of emperors and a large number of noble clans.

If this gets out, even they won't be able to handle it.

"Since it's just suspicion, it means Lin Feng and his group weren't talking nonsense; they clearly understand the implications!"

Xie Chun said, his tone also somewhat uneasy.

Compared to the two, Hong Tao seemed much calmer, though his tone was somewhat unusual: "To dare to take away the spirit medium, Lin Feng's team is not only strong, but also very courageous!"

Seemingly sensing the anger in Hong Tao's words, Xie Chun frowned and said:
"Nobody wants to be a victim. If you or I were in their shoes, we would have made the same decision. Instead of blaming them, blame your good-for-nothing son!"

It was clearly Hong Li's negligence that caused the spirit medium to slip out of control; this matter had little to do with Lin Feng and the others.

Hong Tao did not refute this. Among his descendants, there were five kings, and Hong Li was indeed the most useless one. Otherwise, he would not have chosen him.

However, Lin Feng's team's actions seemed to disregard him. What truly angered and concerned him was whether the plan could proceed smoothly.
If the medium is not close to the destination, the power of the explosion will be greatly reduced.

Hong Tao doesn't care about the so-called criticism and infamy.

As an extraordinary powerhouse, he was not afraid of any threat.

From a broader perspective, sacrificing a portion of the population to ensure the safety of hundreds of millions of people in a base city and prevent the fusion of the second spatial gate is not unacceptable.

It's even well worth it!

He wasn't the only supporter of this plan!
"Since some people have doubts, even if the spatial gate is sealed, the news may still get out. This absurd plan must end here!"

Chen Tian looked at Hong Tao seriously, but the latter ignored his gaze and seemed not to care.

Chen Tian's expression turned rather unpleasant. He snorted coldly and angrily got up and left the conference room.

Although both were emperors, he was no match for Hong Tao, and the spirit medium had already entered the Chaotic Land, so he couldn't stop him.

After Chen Tiangeng left, Xie Chun said helplessly, "Old Hong, I know you have your reasons. The medium's death is your biggest loss. I know you're doing this for the greater good, but this can't be done! Doing it will discourage everyone!"

With that, she got up and left, leaving Hong Tao alone in the empty meeting room.

"No one will be disheartened. If it is really exposed, it will be my decision."

In the dim light, Hong Tao's expression shifted between light and shadow, but eventually calmed down. A cold, resolute muttering echoed in the empty room:

Only blood can stop the invasion!
