Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 493: Gate of the Void
Exclamations of surprise rang out; the scene before them was completely unexpected.

By the time everyone noticed, the arm exuding an eerie aura had already appeared in front of Lin Feng, only half a meter away from him.

"It has the aura of a curse."

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body tensed.

He was prepared to reveal his achievements in the Chaotic Lands, but he did not expect the assassination to come so quickly.

Only one night has passed.

Lin Feng had absorbed cursed soul skills before. [Aging] and [Wraith] were both cursed soul skills, and he was very familiar with their aura. The cursed aura on this arm was very strong and extremely cold. He had a premonition that as long as it was touched, even using [Transformation] would not be able to resist it.

Silver arcs of electricity crackled beneath his feet. Lin Feng tried to retreat, but the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and he could only watch helplessly as the pitch-black arm appeared before his eyes.
The moment the black arm touched her face, her skin melted away as if corroded by sulfuric acid, followed by her facial bones. A shrill scream rang out, but it quickly stopped.

"so close!"

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Lin Feng looked at the half-corroded corpse on the ground and felt relieved.

Just before he was about to be touched, he used his Substitute Soul Skill to switch places with a middle-aged man a few meters away.

When the portal appeared, Lin Feng noticed obvious energy fluctuations emanating from the middle-aged man, whose expression revealed a hint of joy. Although he did not attack, he was clearly just a tool.

Lin Feng had no idea who the man was.

They don't care.

When he became a tool, his fate was sealed.

After the arm successfully struck, it quickly retracted, revealing a small portal behind it. At the same time, the portal's flickering light dimmed, and it began to close rapidly.

Swish!
The arm retracted quickly, but the blade flashed even faster.

A streak of cyan light flashed by like a shadow, its trajectory unreadable and making no sound.

As blood splattered and the arm fell from mid-air, a muffled groan could be faintly heard coming from the tiny portal, no bigger than a palm.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Ye Xing entered his demonic transformation state.

A strong white light emanated from his body, his muscles began to ripple, his body swelled and grew larger, his arms and thighs became extremely thick, and his muscles appeared very prominent, like small hills, making him extremely majestic.

With a series of cracking sounds from his bones, Ye Xing's body suddenly grew taller, his shoulders becoming broad and round, reaching a height of 2.5 meters, like a small giant.

His face became somewhat swollen, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his brown eyes revealed a hint of madness. His two exposed canine teeth, like fangs, made his already extremely imposing appearance look even more ferocious and savage. After Ye Xing's demonic transformation, the air was filled with a sense of heat and rage.

As Ye Xing transformed into a demon, an old man lunged at Lin Feng. Lin Feng stood still, released his substitute soul skill, and instantly switched places with Ye Xing.

The next moment, Ye Xing clenched his fists and slammed them down on the old man.

boom!
A sonic boom echoed through the air. The old man's expression changed slightly, but he did not retreat. He raised his hand to block, but the violent force sent him flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before he could regain his footing, Bu Zheng had already silently appeared behind him.

Enveloped in blue light, the old man's body stiffened, and a chill permeated his entire being. A few seconds later, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

It was only then that people truly realized what was happening.

"So strong!"

The sudden assassination was surprising, but Yun Tianqi's swift blade and Ye Xing's ferocious power were equally astonishing.

Although it was just a simple strike, and its specific strength couldn't be discerned, it was definitely not just a simple eighth-rank attack.

"Substitute Soul Skill!"

"Lin Feng really does possess a substitute soul skill; I couldn't believe it before."

"Two god-level soul skills, what kind of luck is this?"

"Didn't Lin Feng not transform into a demon? Why is his soul skill still so powerful?"

"That's right, the effects of the soul skills don't seem to be affected at all."

"Yun Tianqi's blade is faster, and Ye Xing's strength is even greater!"

People discussed among themselves as they looked at the gruesome corpses and the lifelike ice sculptures on the ground.

Even without demon transformation, a demon spirit master can still unleash soul skills, but the speed and effectiveness of the soul skills will be greatly reduced.

Lin Feng clearly didn't have time to transform into a demon, but he released his soul skill at an extremely fast speed, and his substitute soul skill also worked perfectly.

If it had been a second later, or if the effect had been weakened, Lin Feng would probably have already perished.

"Oh shit!"

With a curse, the two security guards appeared in the room, their expressions grim. They hadn't intervened when Zhou Shengkai provoked them, confident they could stop him.

But he never expected that an assassination would happen right under his nose. Fortunately, Lin Feng was unharmed, otherwise it would have been more than just a matter of losing face.

“Apostle Kong Feng”.

A martial king spoke in an icy tone.

Although the owner of the arm inside the portal did not show himself, the unique attack method made it easy to guess who was behind it.

"Kong Feng!"

A flash of killing intent crossed Lin Feng's eyes.

As a candidate for apostle, Lin Feng had naturally investigated the apostles of the Pure Land.

Kong Feng is very famous among the Apostles. Although his strength as a mid-level Spirit King is not the strongest among the Apostles, he is recognized as a troublesome and difficult character.

He refined a phantom spirit ranked ninth on the list of rare and exotic beasts.

The spirit's innate skill is called Void Gate.

The spirit master who refines this spirit can use tools and mediums to open a small spatial portal and travel through it.

This ability is a support ability; it has no offensive power, but it is difficult to defend against.

Kong Feng was clearly aware of his weakness, so he refined a second demon spirit. The specific demon spirit was unknown, but it was extremely skilled in curse attacks. Once touched by it, the opponent had almost no ability to resist.

The apostle was very strong, but it didn't have the ability to freeze space and render Lin Feng unable to move. That terrifying aura must have been aided by an emperor.

The opponent clearly knew he possessed a substitute soul skill and was well-prepared, giving him no chance to escape.

However, they were unaware that even without entering the demonic transformation state, he could quickly unleash his soul skills and perfectly utilize their effects.

The fact that such a large-scale assassination attempt was carried out on the first occasion, especially with the collaboration between an apostle and an emperor, made Lin Feng feel uneasy.

Even emperors are tempted by the astronomical bounty.

Next, he will face even more ruthless assassination attempts.

"what happened?"

Soon, a group of people appeared, including Martial Emperor Chen Tiangeng.

"Two contestants from the 'might makes right' semi-finals suddenly..."

The two kings quickly offered an explanation.

"Become king as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

A thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind, and then he walked towards an empty dining table.

Behind him, Zhou Shengkai's body trembled slightly.

He was closest to the enemy in the previous battle, and two ninth-rank experts were brutally killed right before his eyes. At this moment, he no longer had any intention of challenging Lin Feng.

The anger at having their spot taken away had long since dissipated, leaving only lingering fear.

Security personnel quickly put the two bodies into black bags and took them away, and wiped the floor clean, but a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.

The atmosphere was somewhat delicate at this moment.

Those present were not unfamiliar with corpses or killings; most were accustomed to slaughter. But at this moment, they clearly understood the difference between themselves and Lin Feng's team.

That's not a difference between battle record and strength.

"Something."

Chen Junhao said in a somewhat serious tone.

A perfect assassination attempt failed. Although the assassination attempt did not reveal the specific strength of Lin Feng and his team, no one dared to underestimate Lin Feng's squad at this point.

Regardless of Lin Feng's strength, just having two divine-level soul skills is already troublesome. What's more, without undergoing demonic transformation, Lin Feng was able to release the soul skills quickly and perfectly, which is simply unbelievable. Could it be that he used some special spiritual artifact?

Xie Yixiao's face turned slightly pale.

He had originally hoped that he could get his revenge someday, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.

Even if he had the chance, he probably wouldn't dare to make a move. Too many people have grudges against Lin Feng and want to kill him!
He and Zhou Shengkai are not even in the same league.
