Abyss Summoner

Chapter 551 - 538: Oath of Slaughter

Seeing the Void Ghost burst a Silver Peak strongman with just two moves, everyone was taken aback. They had seen violent tactics, but never this method of killing.

Brutally burst apart.

This is exactly like the fighting style of Necromancer Creatures. Think about it, if it’s a human with thoughts and feelings, how could they commit such terrifying acts?

Moreover, the Void Ghost’s appearance matched people’s expectations. It looked hideous, as if stitched together from several corpses, with human limbs yet resembling a monkey. Its face showed no features whatsoever.

It seemed to really enjoy blood. After bursting Wang Duan, it started to dance on the spot as if celebrating, chilling everyone to their core.

A vibrant life faded away in its hands. The Void Ghost showed no hesitation, instead celebrating death in this way. It’s a terrifying creature that depends on slaughter and finds joy in it.

"How dare you kill my man? Go to hell!"

Everyone was still immersed in the Void Ghost’s method of murder when suddenly an angry roar came from the sky. A giant, engulfed in flames, descended from above, radiating heat from within. On him, the flames were no longer dead but vibrant red dancing sprites.

Flaming General.

Shi Xiong.

In the Gorge Gate, those with a reputation often give themselves a title, and Shi Xiong was just like his name. He awakened the Flame Power, and after entering the Golden Tier, this power mutated — regular steel couldn’t even approach his body before turning into molten metal. That’s why his physical combat skills were exceptional, making few dare to confront him directly.

As the people around took a step back, they realized the mistake the Void Ghost had just made.

Ordinary people have simple thoughts. To them, with Li Hongyi overseeing, Shi Xiong wouldn’t tear things apart. But for those four summoned ones, it felt like falling into an icy pool; their consciousness had frozen.

A large part of the faction’s leadership had already been slaughtered. Ordinary warriors were unaware that their trusted leaders had transformed into the Void Ghost before them. What’s more frightening is the chaos upon chaos. A knife fight happened earlier to stabilize the faction, but now Shi Xiong’s capable subordinate was brutally smashed — what exactly is that man trying to do?

The four were flustered. To them, it felt like a fog had descended, making it impossible to discern what Chen Feng’s intentions were.

It seemed like self-destruction!

Nowadays, the Gorge Gate has been developing for over a year, and all factions are quite aware that ordinary combat power means little. Like a Golden Tier strongman who truly wants to kill, not even regular firearms or Demon and Martial Cannons can cause effective damage.

Golden Tier.

Originally a powerful being transcending the flesh, like the Annihilation Ant King of Qiaodong. Without Chen Feng and his Summoned Beast handling it, relying purely on city defense forces would result in instant annihilation!

"Beast, you dare ignore my counsel and kill Wang Duan; I want you dead! I demand an explanation from Li Hongyi!" Although Shi Xiong’s body remained unmoving, his words shrouded the entire space with a suffocating intent to kill.

Moreover, he commanded the Fire Element, and due to anger, flames soared, thinning the surrounding oxygen and making breathing difficult.

Strongmen.

They are the most crucial resources for any faction.

Just like peace times, where every nation vigorously develops high-damage weapons, numbers no longer matter. One missile could decimate a city.

Wang Duan wasn’t just a backbone for Shi Xiong; he was also a deterrent to outsiders. Having such a right-hand man gave him the cards to contend with other forces.

Lin Tianxiu’s Twin-Headed Demon.

Chen Ligang’s Red Face Ghost Servant.

And the dog slave Ah Fei, who calls Su Shan ’sister.’

All factions have cultivated subordinates with care. But now, Shi Xiong’s talent, nurtured with countless resources, had died tragically on the spot. Beyond personal sentiments, the most infuriating thing is that all his efforts have vanished like smoke, suddenly weakening him significantly.

Li Hongyi!

This must be Li Hongyi’s plot!

That madman wasn’t content to stop here. He deliberately set such a trap to lure him in, intending to cripple his arm and devour his territory!

When enraged, one enters a state of zero intelligence. Shi Xiong on one hand fumed over Wang Duan’s death, on the other, his mind raced, thinking if he left now, he’d instantly lose a chip in status. Then, any cat or dog would dare bully him.

Although Shi Xiong did not know where Li Hongyi got this monster from, it must be one of his trump cards. He must not let it grow. Li Hongyi killed Wang Duan, so he must take one of Li Hongyi’s arms, or else, when Li Hongyi appears, he will have no chance to strike!

Kill!

The flames on Shi Xiong’s body had changed from orange to crimson, as if life had been nurtured within the flames, infinitely close to the color of blood plasma.

At this point, Shi Xiong attributed all his encounters to Li Hongyi’s conspiracy and regarded Void Ghost as one of Li Hongyi’s trump cards. Wang Duan’s life and death required him to respond, such as killing Void Ghost, thereby shattering Li Hongyi’s plot.

Completely destroying the opponent’s overall plan,

can only be said to be a misunderstanding of yin and yang.

Shi Xiong simply could not know that the appearance of Void Ghost was precisely because he had Li Hongyi as a perfect sacrificial offering!

Yet, nobody would reveal all this to him, as far as Chen Feng was concerned, he wished dearly for this misunderstanding to continue.

As Chen Feng stepped into the Golden Tier, the control time over such temporary summoned beasts greatly increased, from the previous five minutes to about twenty minutes. After killing Wang Duan, Void Ghost had suffered no major injuries and would soon return to the Abyss to continue acting recklessly.

But now that Shi Xiong appeared, it fit Chen Feng’s idea of waste utilization; the life and death of Void Ghost were not within Chen Feng’s thoughts. To him, weakening Shi Xiong’s power was the real surprise.

In the jungle, tigers and leopards are not scary. Often, before they approach their prey, they exude a powerful presence, causing the prey to flee.

In that environment full of murderous intent, the truly frightening ones are the crocodiles lurking in the swamp. They hide in the mud or shallow water, sometimes not moving for a whole day, waiting for their prey.

Waiting for the prey to walk right into the trap, waiting for the opponent to think there is no danger and drink water carefreely, they rush to the shore, bite the opponent’s neck, and drag it underwater to kill directly.

Li Hongyi died too quickly; besides the perfect coordination with the Undead Mage, the sub-divine artifact also played a key role. It can be said that if in a one-on-one situation, Chen Feng could not possibly kill an expert of the same tier that quickly.

And now, Chen Feng became interested. He wanted to see how powerful this giant, one of the dominators at the gorge gate, had become!

Shi Xiong stared ahead, his two pupils resembling flickering flames, and said in a deep voice: "Li Hongyi killed Wang Duan; half of those present, accompany Wang Duan in death!"

As soon as his words fell.

Many people drew a cold breath; their gaze toward Shi Xiong became extremely complex instantly—incredible, disbelief, resistance, anger, fear—all were present. They all knew Shi Xiong was strong and understood that at his level, words were already deeds.

After all, with a large piece of power behind him, how could he command authority if he casually went back on his word?!

"Action!"

In the room, Chen Feng gave orders to Void Ghost.

Being temporarily summoned, Void Ghost had no choice but to comply even though it sensed Shi Xiong’s fearsome power. But to a creature that lives for slaughter, fighting powerhouses is precisely what it likes to do most.

The flesh on Void Ghost’s body seemed stitched, but its skeletal frame was quite large, its muscles like blocks of metal. Ignoring the flames, it charged directly like a rampant giant bear, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. The battle aura was like a rainbow, an overwhelming aura spreading over twenty meters around, nearly exploding all the air within the range!

Void Ghost had already stepped into the Golden Tier. Aside from the ability to traverse space, its body was incredibly strong, difficult for sword and knife to harm, possessing a terrifying physical offensive power that could easily rip a Boeing airplane apart once it went berserk!

"Retreat, retreat, stay further back, or don’t let the energy ripples hit you. Those who don’t want to die, move back!"

Many warriors of weaker strength quickly retreated, pulling enough safe distance. Though they hated to admit, they were already scared by Shi Xiong’s previous threat. If it weren’t for Void Ghost sitting firmly, they would have scattered long ago.

"Huh? Want to rely on brute force to win! Wang Duan’s loss in your hands was purely unexpected. I want to make you pay blood debts with blood, you beast without a shred of humanity, go to hell!"

As Void Ghost was about to rush in front of Shi Xiong, seeing the terrifying yet rampant power unleashed, Shi Xiong’s expression changed, suddenly, he bellowed!

This roar!

Was simply earth-shaking, like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, even the magma below was spewing out, and layers of flames surrounded Shi Xiong, shooting out in all directions!

"Hoo!"

The flames changed with the wind, and in an instant, they formed a giant dragon phantom in mid-air. At that moment, Huaxia’s totem seemed to revive, accompanied by surging momentum, fiercely ramming towards Void Ghost’s body!
