Zhao Wuque’s face was a mask of disbelief. "How is that possible? Those were two Void Demon Dukes, powerhouses at the Spirit Saint Level!!"
The Yuanhai Shu Family had only been on the rise for a little over a year. Shu Feng was the only one propping up the entire family, and its publicly known experts could be counted on one hand.
Of course, the Zhao Family had investigated and knew Shu Feng commanded forces like the Pitch-Black Hand and the Deep Red Eye. But even combined, those forces wouldn’t be a match for a single Void Demon Duke.
For two Void Demon Dukes to join forces only to be utterly defeated by Shu Feng—one killed, one forced to flee—it sounded like a fairy tale. It didn’t seem real at all.
"This information has been confird. Shu Feng secretly summoned a terrifying Half-Saint Level Summoned Beast in the Mire Dragon Marsh. When the two Void Demon Dukes tried to cross it, they were ambushed by that terrifying beast. One died, one fled, and their army was routed with innurable casualties."
"After this battle, Shu Feng’s rise is all but guaranteed. With the rit from this victory, the Yuanhai Shu Family can leap up to beco one of the Middle Third-Grade Noble Families. A true Hero is born from the young!!"
A complex emotion flickered in Zhao Wuchen’s eyes as he let out a soft sigh.
It’s incredibly difficult for a Noble Family to raise its grade. Many Lower-Grade Noble Families strive their entire lives without ever reaching the Middle Third-Grade. Yet, Shu Feng elevated his family’s status to that of a Middle Third-Grade Noble Family with a single battle. Such a rate of advancent was simply heaven-defying.
Zhao Wuchen said suddenly, "Third Brother, I’m thinking of betrothing Zi Xin to Shu Feng. What do you think?"
Zhao Wuque hesitated for a mont before forcing himself to say, "Big Brother, the Shu Family’s status is too low. And while his potential is imnse, no one can predict the future. I’d still prefer for Zi Xin to marry into the Ding Clan."
Currently, the Yuanhai Shu Family is rely a Ninth-Grade Noble Family. Even if this battle elevates them to a Middle Third-Grade Noble Family, that’s still a long way from becoming a Clan. Besides, Shu Feng has made too many enemies. Zhao Wuque wasn’t optimistic about his future.
Zhao Wuchen’s brow twitched slightly. "We’ll see," he said coolly.
Inside a garden of the Beiling Zhu Clan, a dozen or so beautiful young won were seated.
A beautiful young woman in a yellow dress with a delicate, oval face, Zhao i, smiled mysteriously. "Have you guys heard? The Void Demon Clan is planning to attack Mire Dragon Territory by way of the Mire Dragon Marsh!"
Another pretty, round-faced young woman, Ding Fen, asked curiously, "The Mire Dragon Marsh? Isn’t that all swampland? A large army couldn’t possibly get through there."
Zhu Ling chuckled. "The Void Demon Clan has experts as nurous as the clouds and an incredibly deep foundation. To us, the Mire Dragon Marsh is an impassable natural barrier. To the Void Demon Clan, it’s just flat ground that takes a little extra effort to cross."
A young woman from the Zhu Clan, Zhu Lanlan, said in shock, "If that’s the case, doesn’t that an Mire Dragon Territory is in grave danger?"
Zhu Ling gave a dazzling smile. "Of course! With two Void Demon Dukes leading a Void Demon army to attack Mire Dragon Territory, even if Shu Feng had three heads and six arms, he’s a dead man for sure. Looks like Zhu Chenyu is about to beco a widow! Good thing Sister Xiao Xiao didn’t marry him, or it would’ve been a terrible loss."
Zhu Xiaoxiao offered a placid smile. "A pity for our dear Chen Yu."
Ever since Shu Feng had chosen Zhu Chenyu at the matchmaking session, Zhu Xiaoxiao had been wishing for Mire Dragon Territory to fall into ruin. But instead, the territory grew more prosperous by the day, filling her heart with jealousy.
Now that the Void Demon army was attacking Mire Dragon Territory, she was secretly filled with glee.
"Young Miss, Young Miss, I have sothing to report!"
A pretty maidservant entered the garden, looking flustered.
Zhu Xiaoxiao raised a slender eyebrow. "Xiaocui, what is it? Spit it out!"
Xiaocui said, "Lord Shu Feng of Mire Dragon Territory has routed the invading Void Demon army! Of the two Void Demon Dukes, one was killed and the other fled. The five-hundred-thousand-strong Void Demon army has completely collapsed."
As soon as she spoke, it was as if everyone present had been slapped across the face. A look of utter disbelief flashed in their eyes.
Zhu Xiaoxiao lost her composure and snapped, "How is that possible? How could Shu Feng possibly defeat two Void Demon Dukes?"
Xiaocui replied, "Young Miss, Shu Feng was raising an incredibly terrifying Swamp Giant Monster in the Mire Dragon Marsh. He used it to crush the Void Demon army in one fell swoop."
A flicker of jealousy crossed Zhao i’s eyes. She sighed softly. "How incredible. From this day forward, Shu Feng’s na will shake the world!"
Zhu Lanlan said sourly, "Shu Feng... he really is sothing else! Little sister Chen Yu sure is lucky!"
"If you’ll excuse !!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao’s pretty face had turned ugly. Forcing a smile, she rose and left the garden.
Within the Zhu Clan, inside a pavilion.
Zhu Yan said placidly, "He killed one Void Demon Duke and defeated one Duke of Void. That Swamp Giant Monster Shu Feng was raising in the Mire Dragon Marsh must be a terrifying creature of the Half-Saint Level, and it possesses an incredibly powerful Air Ban Ability. He certainly hides his strength well. Who knows how many other trump cards he has? Our Zhu Clan’s marriage alliance with him... that was the right move."
Zhu Guangsheng nodded slightly, his heart filled with relief.
Two Void Demon Dukes, plus an army of five hundred thousand elite Void Demons... that was a terrifying force capable of annihilating the entire Zhu Clan.
For such a terrifying army to be defeated by Shu Feng revealed just how formidable he was. If the Zhu Clan had chosen to fight him to the death instead of pursuing a marriage alliance, perhaps they would have been the ones to be uprooted.
Zhu Yan said, "Guangsheng, lest any unexpected complications arise, have Chen Yu and Shu Feng marry as soon as possible after this war is over."
Zhu Guangsheng said, "Yes, Ancestor!"
「In Liuguang City, the Fang Clan’s stronghold on the Void Demon Battlefield.」
’Two Void Demon Dukes and an army of half a million Void Demons... he defeated them all. Damn, this apprentice of mine is ferocious as hell.’
Fang Yao stared at the intelligence report in her hand, a look of sheer ecstasy flashing in her beautiful eyes.
A handso young man who looked to be in his late twenties, with an extraordinary air about him, spoke up. It was Fang Long. "Sis, your apprentice is that ferocious? Why don’t we ask him to co and help us out? After this battle, his Mire Dragon Territory has to be the safest place around. He must have the strength to spare."
In the battle of Mire Dragon Marsh, one of two Void Demon Dukes was killed and the other fled, while the army of five hundred thousand elite Void Demons was routed with countless casualties. Until the Void Demon Clan finds a way to deal with that Swamp Dominator, they won’t dare attack from the direction of the marsh again.
As a result, Mire Dragon Territory, nestled deep in the heartland of the Qianyuan Republic, had beco the safest territory of all.
Fang Yao mulled it over for a mont. "I can contact him," she said. "But if he cos to help, you’d better prepare sufficient paynt. For him... and for !!"
Fang Long’s face fell. "Sis, we’re family!"
Fang Yao said, "Business is business, even with family. The Fang Clan only has so many resources. If I don’t ask for more, soone else will. Of my cut, you can have a tenth."
Fang Long’s eyes lit up. "Deal!!"
