Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 422 The battle begins

The once empty plain was shattered by the sudden pursuit. Many passing mercenary teams looked at Lin Feng's team fleeing and then at the figures flying across the sky. Their expressions were initially blank, but quickly turned solemn and angry.

The news that Lin Feng's team had entered Maple Forest was initially unknown to them, but now it had spread like wildfire.

The huge bounty on Lin Feng and his team was common knowledge. Clearly, lured by the huge bounty, three forces had made a move against Lin Feng's team.

Lin Feng's team has a brilliant record. The Chaotic Land has just closed, and someone dared to attack them. It is infuriating.

"Fuck your mother."

A seven-man mercenary squad, one of the men suddenly cursed viciously, took a step, and rushed towards Lin Feng's squad's location.

He was going to help; he couldn't let anything happen to Lin Feng's team. However, he was stopped by his companions after rushing out for about ten meters.

"Do you want to die?! You're just an ordinary eighth-rank cultivator, you don't even have a demon spirit, how could you possibly be a match for me?" his companion questioned.

He was equally angry and wanted to help, but at this moment, anyone who dared to openly attack Lin Feng's team, besides being incredibly strong, was a group of unscrupulous, fearless madmen and killers.

If they joined in such a chaotic battle, they would most likely lose their lives.

"Kill as many as you can! Everyone has to die eventually."

"Then who will take care of your mother? Is your sister-in-law going to remarry?"

"My grass!"

The man stared in the direction where Lin Feng and his group had disappeared, his fists clenched, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.

He has elderly parents and young children to support, so he really can't take any risks.

"Sigh!" Seeing the man's angry and helpless expression, his companion sighed helplessly.

He wanted to help, but he was past the age of impulsive enthusiasm.

Faced with pursuit from three forces, Lin Feng's team ran in one direction. Lin Feng looked back slightly and saw people falling from the sky and chasing them on the ground.

When martial arts reach the Flying Realm, one can condense spiritual energy wings. However, flying consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Demon spirit masters may not care much about the consumption of spiritual energy, but for martial artists, spiritual energy represents combat power.

After running for more than ten miles, Lin Feng's team was finally forced to enter a sea of ​​red trees.

As the wind howled, red leaves fell one by one. The red leaves resembled maple leaves, which is why the portal was named Maple Forest.

As soon as he entered the maple forest, a huge figure appeared before Lin Feng with a mournful howl. It was a massive eighth-order demonic bear, which swung its enormous paws and slashed down at Lin Feng's face with a shrill howl.

Lin Feng remained motionless and vanished instantly. The next moment, Ye Xing, with a slightly helpless expression, appeared in Lin Feng's spot, standing in front of the demonic bear.

With a roar, Ye Xing entered his demonic transformation state, becoming a muscular giant. He grabbed the enormous bear paw in his hand, swung it around, and the demonic bear, like a toy, arced through the air before crashing to the ground with a deafening roar.

"Roar!"

A shrill scream rang out, but it quickly stopped. A phantom spirit appeared above the demonic bear's head. The spirit tried to escape as soon as it appeared, but Lin Feng grabbed it, crushed it, and shoved it into the soul sea.

"Too violent."

Looking at the demonic bear's corpse, which resembled a mushy mess, Zhan Tianyu said with some disgust.

Ye Xing ignored Zhan Tianyu's complaints and looked at Lin Feng, saying helplessly, "Could you please not use your substitute soul skill on me without any warning? I wasn't prepared, and it's dangerous, you know? If I resist and the soul skill fails to be released, you'll be in danger too, you know?"

Lin Feng smiled and said nonchalantly, "There's no time indicator during a fierce battle. You can sense when I release my substitute soul skill to some extent. You'll get used to it."

As for whether he would get hurt, Lin Feng didn't care at all. If he transformed, he would be even more violent than Ye Xing.

"Get used to it my ass!" Ye Xing cursed helplessly, feeling a bit of a headache.

Since absorbing the Substitute Soul Skill, Lin Feng would use the Substitute to switch places with him whenever he was in close combat or surrounded.

He felt like he had become Lin Feng's human shield and henchman.

"Haha."

Seeing Ye Xing's helpless expression, the others couldn't help but laugh.

Even Yun Kai had a slight smile on his lips. Apart from Bu Zheng, Ye Xing was the strongest in the team.

In the Glory Alliance, he is recognized as the number one berserker, and he has almost no rivals in close combat.

In the Avengers, there are quite a few people who are good at close combat. Besides Ye Xing, there are Yun Kai, Ye Qiu, Zhan Tianyu, and Yun Tianqi.

Yun Kai's entire body is made of metal, making him impervious to blades and spears, allowing him to fight without restraint and without fear of injury.

Ye Qiu, on the other hand, was covered in thorns, like a hedgehog, making it impossible for his opponents to find a way to attack him.

Zhan Tianyu, on the other hand, uses six arms and multiple weapons to attack simultaneously from different angles.

Yun Tianqi relied on his dual-sword skills to make it impossible for his opponents to keep up with his attack rhythm.

Ye Xing relied entirely on his immense strength to directly and violently crush his opponents, employing a fighting style that used sheer force to overcome all techniques.

All five of them refined Earthly Ranking Demon Spirits, which were ranked quite high. Their fighting styles were different, and it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker. However, in close combat, Ye Xing's fighting style was the most violent, and there was no need to worry about getting injured.

Therefore, Lin Feng preferred to use his Substitute Soul Skill on Ye Xing.

Joking aside, everyone remained vigilant in the face of the enemy's pursuit. Yu Qiao had already disappeared. Although they couldn't find him, they could sense his location by the effect of the contract. He was hiding in a bush about 20 meters away from them.

"Let's begin," Lin Feng said, and the team started running again.

The team that dared to pursue them must be quite strong. If they were surrounded, they would be in danger, since He Jun and Yue Mingming's strength was not that great.

Since it's fishing, we can't reveal our full strength.

Not long after Lin Feng's team left, a rapid whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

A moment later, the three teams arrived in a flash, appearing beside the demonic bear.

These three teams, each armed with various weapons and wearing different masks, clearly did not want anyone to know their identities.

"They left not long ago, then split up to chase them, and sent a signal when they saw them."

"This time there's competition among the apostles, so we need to finish this quickly."

"Watch out for Bu Zheng, Yun Tianqi, and Ye Xing; those three pose the greatest threat."

"Our main target is Lin Feng. Once we take his head, we can retreat. Don't be greedy."

As the words fell, figures suddenly rushed out, their eyes filled with greed and killing intent. They quickly dispersed, darting across the ground and between tree trunks.

They had already tested the strength of Lin Feng's team and depleted their fighting power. With their strength, they were not worried about Lin Feng's team's counterattack. What they were really worried about was the competitors vying for kills.

Not only are they competitors, but they are not a monolithic entity either, so we must also be careful.

A human head can be worth tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars. Such a huge temptation can make people lose their minds. Moreover, they have no bottom line to speak of.

On the other side, Lin Feng's team kept running. Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped. On a tree branch twenty or thirty meters ahead, nine figures were looking down at them.

These people were all wearing black masks.

Lin Feng turned slightly to look behind him, where more than a dozen figures wearing white masks blocked their way.

With a series of roars, Yun Kai and the others quickly entered their demonic transformation state. They looked at Lin Feng and awaited his command.

"kill!"

Without any warning or hesitation, Lin Feng took the initiative, releasing his substitute soul skill. Lin Feng appeared on a tree branch, appearing within the figure of the black mask.

As Lin Feng shouted "Kill," Yun Tianqi's dark green eyes turned to Lin Feng's location. His scythe-like forelimbs were raised, and a figure wearing a black mask appeared. The person's eyes were still somewhat dazed, but the next moment, accompanied by a cold blade of light, a head fell to the ground.

After the substitute soul skill was released, a large number of bubbles appeared around Lin Feng's body.

"Boom."

A deafening explosion rang out, and arcs of electricity burst forth like a purple sun, unleashing terrifying power and shock. Blood splattered amidst severed limbs, signaling the start of the battle.
