121: Chapter 121 Speedrun of the Demon Suppression Tower? He smashed through the fourth floor!
The remaining thirty-odd prisoners felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies shaking like chaff. In their eyes, there was no longer any scrutiny or cruelty, only the most primal and pure fear.
What did they see?
The absolute rulers of the second floor, the Yin-Yang Twin Fiends who cooperated seamlessly, couldn't even last three moves against this mysterious young man. They were brutally slaughtered on the spot in a destructive, savage, and utterly irrational manner?!
This had already exceeded the scope of their cognition! This was simply not a power that a Mortal could possess!
Lin Feng slowly withdrew his hand, his calm gaze sweeping over those "nutrients" who had been completely scared out of their wits.
"Come at me together, or I'll take you on one by one."
He spoke flatly; his voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears.
What answered him was even more violent trembling and fear that seeped into their very marrow.
Some of the mentally fragile ones had even collapsed to the ground, a foul-smelling liquid leaking from their crotches.
"Very well."
Lin Feng's figure vanished from the spot.
In the next moment, a massacre even more efficient and bloody than the one on the first floor played out once again within this cramped space.
Screams rose and fell, only to quickly return to silence within a very short time.
...
The Demon Suppressing Tower, Monitoring Hub.
Since the incident on the first floor, this room, which was usually the quietest, had now become the eye of the storm for the entire headquarters.
The atmosphere was as oppressive as solidified molten iron.
The elder guard, his eyes bloodshot, stared intently at the light screen representing the second floor, his palms covered in sticky cold sweat.
Behind him stood several Formation Great Masters who had rushed over upon hearing the news; everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
On the light screen, the two light dots representing the Yin-Yang Twin Fiends—one black and one white—were exceptionally conspicuous, like two ominous stars.
Around them were more than thirty smaller light dots, symbolizing all the prisoners on the second floor.
Just then, a dazzling, new, and sun-bright light dot slowly moved into the range of the light screen from the corridor connecting the first and second floors.
"He's here... He's entered the second floor!"
The young guard's voice was trembling as he shouted almost subconsciously.
"Quick! Raise the energy of all Monitoring Formations to the maximum! I want to see every detail of what's happening inside!" a supervisor barked.
"Yes, sir!"
However, before they could finish the operation, an anomaly had already occurred.
On the light screen, the black dot representing the "Yin Fiend" extinguished completely with a "poof" the moment it touched that "sun," without any warning, flicker, or struggle!
Immediately after, the white dot representing the "Yang Fiend" flickered wildly twice, as if in a final burst of life, before following suit and returning to silence!
The entire Monitoring Hub became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
A white-haired Formation Great Master rubbed his eyes in disbelief and murmured, "Is it broken? Is the Monitoring Formation broken? The Yin-Yang Twin Fiends... are just gone like that?"
No sooner had he spoken than an even more terrifying scene unfolded.
After those two brightest dots were extinguished, that "sun" seemed to be completely enraged, or perhaps it had begun a gluttonous feast, as it started rampaging across the light screen at a frantic speed!
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
The remaining thirty-plus dots were like candles blown by a gale, extinguishing in swathes without any power to resist!
The speed at which they vanished was so fast it was dizzying, so fast that one had no time to even think!
From the moment the first dot went out to the disappearance of the last, the entire process didn't even take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
When only that solitary "sun"—now even more dazzling than before—remained on the light screen, everyone present felt a chill rush from their tailbones straight to the tops of their heads.
"Insane... completely insane..."
The guard muttered to himself, his face as pale as paper.
No longer able to maintain his composure, he roared in a voice that had changed pitch.
"Sound the 'Demon Suppressing' Alarm! Highest Rank! The Demon Suppressing Tower... the Demon Suppressing Tower is out of control!!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
A sharp, ear-piercing alarm that seemed capable of tearing through one's Soul instantly resounded throughout the entire Demon Suppressing Tower!
Countless experts in seclusion were startled awake, and powerful Divine Thoughts swept toward the Demon Suppressing Tower like a tide.
Within the headquarters, countless guards in Black Armor poured out like a tide; the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
Inside the office of Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng.
He was staring gloomily at a Jade Slip for synchronized monitoring, while Qin Tian, the Iron-Faced Judge, was being pinned to the ground like a dead dog by two guards, not even daring to raise his head.
When the alarm sounded and all the dots on the Jade Slip were extinguished, the Jade Slip in Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng's hand shattered into powder with a "snap," crushed by his bare hand!
"Useless! You useless piece of trash who's good for nothing but failing!"
Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng kicked Qin Tian, the Iron-Faced Judge, to the ground, his eyes bloodshot. "Just what kind of god of slaughter have you provoked and brought back to the Demon Suppression Division?!"
Qin Tian, the Iron-Faced Judge's whole body shook like chaff; he couldn't say a word, his heart filled with nothing but endless regret and fear.
However, the nightmare had only just begun.
Just as Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng was in a rage, a guard responsible for delivering messages rushed in, crawling and stumbling. His face was devoid of color, and his voice carried a sob:
"Dep... Deputy Commander! It's... it's bad! Th... that monster... he... he's already entered the third floor!!"
"What?!"
Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng's eyes nearly split from their sockets; he had only just received the news that the second floor had been cleared!
Before he could finish speaking, the guard was on the verge of tears.
"The third floor's light screen... at... at the tenth breath after he entered... it's... it's already gone completely black!!"
Ten breaths!
An entire floor cleared!
Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng felt as if his heart were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, almost stopping its beat.
Before he could recover from this news, another Demon Slayer appeared at the door, his voice becoming incredibly sharp due to extreme fear:
"The fourth floor! He's entered the fourth floor!!"
"The prisoners on the fourth floor... are all experts of the Martial Ancestor Realm!!"
Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng roared.
"It's over..."
The Demon Slayer's voice was like a mumble in a dream, "The fourth floor's light screen... has... has also gone black!!"
One report after another, like death warrants, flooded into Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng's mind through various channels.
He felt as if he weren't handling official business but witnessing the birth of a nightmare.
From the second floor to the third, and then to the fourth...
That monster was "clearing" his way upward at an unfathomable and destructive speed! He wasn't fighting at all; he was feeding! He was treating the entire tower, hailed as the Great Xia's strongest prison, as his own hunting ground and buffet!
"This won't do... this matter... has completely exceeded my authority to handle..."
Deputy Commander Li Tiancheng felt cold all over. He knew that if he didn't stop that monster, once he reached the higher floors and killed those old monsters who had been imprisoned for hundreds or thousands of years, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The entire Great Xia Dynasty might be thrown into turmoil because of this!
He suddenly raised his head, a trace of resolve in his eyes.
"I must immediately meet with... the Chief Commander!!"
