18: Father's love is like a mountain...

“Ding! The host killed a Demon Qi Realm Eighth Stage demon beast, the Copper Claw Python! Gained 0.5 attribute points!”

“Ding! The host killed a Demon Qi Realm Eighth Stage demon beast, the Gale Flying Dog! Gained 0.5 attribute points!”

…

Chen De went on a rampage throughout the Eastern Vortex Forest, leaving no demon beast alive.

While eliminating those Demon Qi Realm Eighth Stage demon beasts, he also conveniently wiped out lower-realm demon beasts along the way.

He was killing like crazy!

All the demon beasts in the Whirlwind Forest Northern Part were in an uproar, and under Chen De's immense pressure, countless demon beasts fled in all directions!

Under Chen De's combo attacks, even a Demon Origin Realm First Stage demon beast could exchange a few blows.

Facing these demon beasts, which were far inferior to Chen De, was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

Such a large commotion naturally alarmed the resident demon beast of the northern part—the Windtail Boa King.

“Damn it! He got away again!”

The Windtail Boa King roared furiously. In fact, this wasn't the first time he had shouted this.

The demon beasts following him were all silent, not daring to utter a single word!

Ever since Chen De began to slaughter indiscriminately, even intentionally allowing himself to be discovered.

Countless demon beasts became like startled birds, especially after witnessing Chen De instantly kill a demon beast that came to trouble him.

Their guts were scared out of them, terrified that Chen De would come looking for trouble with them.

Lower-realm demon beasts didn't have the chance to see the Windtail Boa King, but those late-stage Demon Qi Realm demon beasts did!

They were afraid this fire would burn them!

When the Windtail Boa King was first sought out, he was a bit angry, thinking such a small matter would bother him!

If they found it displeasing, they could just kill it casually.

However, upon seeing the large number of demon beasts that had come, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although mutual slaughter was not forbidden among demon beasts, everything had a limit.

Their resident demon beasts, though they could remain aloof and uninvolved, were absolutely not allowed to tolerate Chen De's rampant slaughter, which severely disrupted the demon beasts' survival.

This was simply not something a demon beast would do!

If this forest were ownerless, it would be fine; then no one would care what you did.

But this forest had an owner, and these demon beasts and resources could be said to be his private property.

If the Vortex Forest suffered heavy losses because of this, the Windtail Boa King would also be in deep trouble; he was just an accountant.

So, as soon as he heard about Chen De's actions, the Windtail Boa King immediately flew into a rage.

Was this a slap in his face?

This was taking his life!

Faced with this situation, the Windtail Boa King was even more panicked than those demon beasts.

Those demon beasts, if they had no other choice, could run to other places.

The reason they weren't running now and instead came to him for help was simply because they were reluctant to abandon the territory and resources they had occupied for many years.

If he messed things up, the Silver Scale Rhino King would definitely not spare him.

So he quickly appeased those demon beasts and led them to deal with Chen De.

But what the Windtail Boa King didn't expect was how slippery Chen De was; he always managed to escape before he could arrive.

It was as if Chen De knew his route; he would slip away, and he wouldn't be able to find him.

After a while, he would appear in another place, causing chaos everywhere!

As soon as he arrived, Chen De would have already escaped!

This forced him to mobilize demon beasts for a pursuit and encirclement.

He found that this method was very effective, but at least a Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beast was needed to make it work.

When he sent those Demon Qi Realm Eighth Stage demon beasts, Chen De instantly killed them with one move.

But when he encountered those Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beasts, he would avoid them.

Clearly, he couldn't kill a Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beast in a short amount of time and was afraid of being caught and killed by them.

Especially whenever the Windtail Boa King increased the number of Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beasts, the effect of the encirclement improved.

This also caused the Windtail Boa King to continuously increase the number of demon beasts.

This time, the Windtail Boa King almost caught Chen De, and this gave the Windtail Boa King confidence in catching Chen De.

Next time, it would be the time to catch Chen De, and then…

His thoughts returned, so he once again ordered, “Notify all Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beasts in the Eastern Vortex Forest that they must come here today to participate in the encirclement. Anyone who doesn't come will be purged afterward.”

The Windtail Boa King had managed this area for many years, and his prestige here was deeply ingrained in the demon beasts' hearts. No demon beast dared to ignore his command.

So, the order was issued, and quickly, more than thirty Demon Qi Realm Ninth Stage demon beasts gathered around the Windtail Boa King.

There were also hundreds of late-stage Demon Qi Realm demon beasts; although they seemed to have little effect on Chen De, they could boost morale.

The Windtail Boa King thought to himself, 'This time, let's see how that demon beast escapes.'

…

Chen De once again killed the demon beast in front of him with a claw, shaking off the blood from his claws.

He had already obtained the last three attribute points; Demon Qi Realm Eighth Stage demon beasts were completely useless to Chen De now.

When Chen De first implemented his new plan, he was still a bit apprehensive.

After all, the biggest variable in this operation was the Windtail Boa King; if he encountered him, Chen De would essentially be doomed.

It's just that Chen De didn't expect him to be so slow. Due to the Shadow Wolf King, Chen De's judgment had some errors, overestimating the Windtail Boa King's abilities.

Chen De didn't expect it to be so easy; leading him around with the system map was like walking a dog, unexpectedly simple.

Listening to the dense notification sounds from the system map, Chen De knew that the time was almost right.

Most of those who should come had come, and those who hadn't probably wouldn't.

So, after nearly slaughtering all the demon beasts in this area, Chen De deliberately slowed his pace.

Sure enough, the Windtail Boa King soon arrived with his demon soldiers and generals, surrounding Chen De tightly.

He obviously wanted to prevent Chen De from escaping, though Chen De had no intention of fleeing, otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to surround him.

The Windtail Boa King and those demon beasts looked at the ravaged land, strewn with corpses, their faces filled with immense anger!

These could all be considered his subjects; the prohibition of mutual attacks was due to their nature, but it didn't mean there was no emotion.

How could they be indifferent watching their own kind slaughtered like this?

The leading Windtail Boa King said with immense fury, “No matter who you are, I will make you pay a heavy price!”

Chen De did not speak!

With that, the Windtail Boa King stopped wasting words and charged towards Chen De with his subordinate demon beasts.

At this moment, Chen De simultaneously used the three attribute points he had already prepared to break through.

And at the same time, he activated the bloody mark that the Shadow Wolf King had placed on him.

Just as the Windtail Boa King's claws had torn Chen De, and other demon beasts had also come into contact with Chen De's fragments.

The bloody mark exploded!

As expected of the Shadow Wolf King, a mark painstakingly condensed by a Demon Spirit Realm demon beast.

The terrifying explosive power instantly blasted the Windtail Boa King, who was closest to Chen De, into fragments.

Those demon beasts close to Chen De were blasted into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

Those demon beasts a little further away were all shaken to death by the explosion's shockwave!

Only those demon beasts that were quite far away suffered serious injuries and managed to escape.

For this, Chen De even had reason to suspect that the Shadow Wolf King wanted Chen De to deliver the mark to the Windtail Boa King.

And to do this without him personally intervening.

Indeed, paternal love is like a mountain collapsing!

At this moment, the Shadow Wolf King, far away in the Whirlwind Forest Northern Part, also felt this familiar fluctuation.

He couldn't help but sigh silently, 'As expected of my innate ability, Blood Mark Soul Burst!'

It truly possessed immense power!

With his adopted son's strength and those special abilities, only the Windtail Boa King could push him to such a desperate situation.

What a pity!

So, the Windtail Boa King should be gone by now, right?

And his convenient adopted son, did he realize that the mark I gave him was problematic? Perhaps, but by now, there's probably not even a trace left, right?

Hahaha!

Trying to take advantage of his Shadow Wolf King? How could that be possible?

Whether Chen De was sincere or feigned, the Shadow Wolf King never intended for him to return alive when he placed the mark on him!

In fact, the Shadow Wolf King had already embedded the Windtail Boa King's aura into the mark.

It would explode as soon as the Windtail Boa King got close enough, it was just difficult to achieve this without the Shadow Wolf King personally intervening.

Every area of the Vortex Forest had the Silver Scale Rhino King's informants, used to monitor these resident demon beasts.

So, all this time, the Shadow Wolf King had not dared to personally act in the eastern part to avoid being noticed.

But he had been struggling to find someone capable of doing this, and then Chen De appeared at just the right time.

Moreover, Chen De's actions clearly indicated he was not the Silver Scale Rhino King's demon, so the task was perfectly suited for him.

Otherwise, why would the Shadow Wolf King have the Lingyue Dog observe Chen De?

And after Chen De killed the Lingyue Dog, why would he let bygones be bygones?

He even took Chen De as an adopted son and gave him spirit herbs.

Everything was just so Chen De could serve him better!

Otherwise, did he really think he was a good demon?

So, next, the final step of the plan was about to be implemented!
